He Xiaoxiao gradually came back to her senses. She looked at Xia Yang, and saw that he was staring at Zhu Tong with resentful eyes, completely indifferent to her current situation. She was extremely disappointed, but she also understood that Xia Yang was simply unreliable.
She could only speak to Zhu Tong urgently, “Young Master Zhu, I just… I said something wrong just now. I apologize to you, can you, don’t do anything to my family…” what would happen to her after something happened to her family?
As she spoke, her voice began to falter.
Her family was her last resort, and she couldn’t imagine what would happen to her if something happened to them.
When that uncle came in just now, he said that she should be worried about whether or not she could still have a home. She thought it was just a harsh word meant to deter her, but judging from her father’s tone when answering the phone just now… if that person wanted her to have no home, he could do it easily!
She must be crazy to think that Zhu Tong was his father’s unwanted son!
There was such a person who even her father was afraid of, who followed Zhu Tong every step of the way, even here, in the Gongshui County. This means that Zhu Tong wasn’t an “exile” at all.
Zhu Shoushan didn’t care about him, but he didn’t need to care at all.
What kind of person did she mess with?
A few minutes ago, she arrogantly used “her status” to belittle others, but she didn’t expect the backlash to come so quickly!
He Xiaoxiao only felt a buzzing sound in her head and her body was shaky. Her proud riding skills no longer gave her a sense of security, as if she might fall off the horse at any time.
Wang Yao and Wu Wen also looked at Zhu Tong, pointing to a large number of adults Zhu Tong relied on to finish this matter.
To that, Zhu Tong replied in a light tone, “I’m not an adult, I’m a kindergartener, and I was just complaining to my family.”
Wang Yao & Wu Wen: “…”
“Pfftt.”
The snort came from behind his ears, and Zhu Tong turned his head abruptly and said, “What are you laughing at… ouch…”
He accidentally rubbed his chafed thigh, and it hurts…
Shao Ming immediately restrained his smile and looked down at his leg, “Bring your right leg over first.”
Zhu Tong said: “I can’t sit still like that…”
Shao Ming said softly, “I’ll support you.”
“…”
Zhu Tong tried to lift his leg, and the chafed area was inevitably rubbed. His face turned pale in pain, and he subconsciously bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound.
Uncle Liu said in shock, “Young Master, are you injured?”
“It’s okay, just a little hurt.”
But before he could say that, Uncle Liu had already looked at He Xiaoxiao and the gaggle of boys behind her.
He Xiaoxiao was startled and her face turned pale.
If it was before, when they saw Zhu Tong in this state, they would definitely not be able to avoid sneering a few times. But now, when they saw Zhu Tong injured, they only felt that their doom was impending!
They didn’t even dare to ask where he was hurt…
“Young Master Zhu…”
“There’s no need to apologize.” Zhu Tong’s face was cold and emotionless. In actuality, it felt so painful that he didn’t want to speak, but he still had something to say, “It’s not me who you should apologize to.”
He Xiaoxiao and the two boys looked at Shao Ming subconsciously.
He wanted them to apologize to someone they just looked down on?
Zhu Tong actually cared about this little white face so much?
He Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and was about to speak when Shao Ming interrupted her: “There’s no need to apologize, I don’t need it.”
Rather than apology, he prefers to return their “favor”.
如果刘叔没有出现，他其实不介意和那个女生赛一场，后果自负的那种。
If Uncle Liu didn’t show up, he actually wouldn’t mind playing a game with that girl, and the consequences would be at her own risk.
But now Zhu Tong’s injury was more important. It looked like it’s more serious than he previously thought.
He frowned slightly, and immediately rolled over and dismounted.
Zhu Tong suddenly lost his support, and instinctively swayed a little. It was Shao Ming who tugged his hand, and smoothly pulled him off the horse and into his arms.
Zhu Tong was shocked. “I don’t need to…”
Shao Ming: “Do you want to move out of the racecourse step by step like a grandma crossing the road?”
He most likely has to walk in that forked-leg manner.
Zhu Tong: “…”
He looked at Uncle Liu again, Uncle Liu was already leaning towards them in full-blown worry. Before he got close to him, he smelled a faint smell of smoke.
Uncle Liu must have smoked just now.
He instantly dismissed the idea, and withdrew his outstretched hand.
Uncle Liu directly said, “The car is outside the racecourse.”
Shao Ming nodded. “Okay.”
Then, with his lips slightly curving upwards, the youth said, “You can bury your head if you’re embarrassed.”
Zhu Tong: “…”
Bury his head? Where?
He glanced at the juncture of Shao Ming’s neck and collarbone, a perfect place to place his head to avoid embarrassment. But… if anything, he felt even more embarrassed to do that.
“Or not, you… you walk faster.” Zhu Tong refused.
He didn’t dare to look at He Xiaoxiao and the others – he didn’t want to know what they were thinking of him now. As long as they didn’t laugh at him, it’s fine.
Afraid that Shao Ming would struggle to hold him, despite his hesitation, he still put his hands on Shao Ming’s neck.
Feeling the pressure on the back of his neck, Shao Ming’s lips curved deeper, he barely restrained himself. He then turned his head and said, “Luo Suo, you…”
“Don’t worry, Ming-ge, I’ll send the horse back to the stable, you all go first.”
Shao Ming nodded and followed Uncle Liu out of the free venue.
This group, who originally rode into the arena in high spirits, were now being talked about and accused by passersby – they were being blown up in front of the public, and their faces were ashen and in a state of disarray.
Xia Yang’s eyes have been chasing after the two people who have left the venue. His fist clenched tightly until his nails embedded into his palms, but he couldn’t feel the pain. His face contorted into an ugly expression.
He Xiaoxiao saw that his expression was almost twisted and completely different from his usual expression. She frowned tightly and said, “Young Master Yang, do you know who that Liu’s identity is?”
Xia Yang said coldly, “I don’t know.”
He Xiaoxiao’s brows furrowed even tighter, and she didn’t look away.
Xia Yang seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his tone, so he rectified it. But when he saw He Xiaoxiao looking at him with distrust, he suddenly became angry, “I really don’t know.”
He Xiaoxiao inexplicably smiled and turned away.
Her attitude made Xia Yang panic for a moment. He decided to comfort her, “Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to worry, he is just talking big about it. If there is anything really wrong, I will let my dad…”
“Young Master Yang should worry about yourself first. After all, we are all hated because of you.”
Zhu Tong just expressed his disgust for Xia Yang bluntly and clearly.
Xia Yang also thought of Zhu Tong’s words, and his face changed suddenly. “You…”
“Young Master Yang is going to ride a horse, right? Since he’s here already, he can play slowly by himself. I have something to do at home, so I won’t accompany you.”
She emphasized the words “something to do at home”, which was tantamount to giving Xia Yang another shot.
Wu Wen and Wang Yao hesitated for a moment. They then followed He Xiaoxiao and left without saying a word.
Soon Xia Yang was left alone on the field, and he rode on the horse for a while, his face gradually getting gloomier by the second.
At the entrance of Chengnei County People’s Hospital, a Maybach was parked at the entrance of the hospital, and it did not move for a long time.
“I’m not going to the hospital!”
Zhu Tong was like a fussy child who was repulsed by the idea of going to the hospital.
Uncle Liu said, “Young Master, your injury is unknown, how can you not go to the hospital? What should I do if you get infected?”
“It won’t get infected, I’ll just go back and apply some medicine.”
“No, you have to go to the hospital for a check up.”
“I’m really fine.”
“I don’t believe it, unless you go to the hospital to have a look.”
The young master’s injury has been reported to the old man, how can he not understand the situation?
Zhu Tong really didn’t want to go to the hospital, so he decided to bargain. “If I don’t go to the hospital now, when my injury is healed, I promise you I’ll go to the hospital for a physical examination.”
Uncle Liu: “…”
The offer is too great.
Uncle Liu said, “Go back to A City’s hospital for a full inspection?”
Zhu Tong said decisively. “Yes.”
Anyway, after he reached the 50% favorability threshold, there’s absolutely no problem for him to get a detailed examination in A City’s hospital.
As long as he didn’t go to the hospital now.
The injured place is so embarrassing, and he has to let a stranger doctor see him?
No, absolutely not!
He already has goosebumps just by thinking about it!
Seeing that Uncle Liu was still hesitating, Zhu Tong added, “I will apply medicines on to it. Shao Ming has a medicine box in his house with a complete set of medicines in it. If you don’t believe me, ask him.”
Saying that, he nudged Shao Ming with his elbow.
Shao Ming kept his smile. But thanks to his lowered eyes, his thoughts became hard to read. When he received a hint, he raised his eyes, nodded, and said, “Don’t worry, I will watch him. If it is serious, I will send him to the hospital.”
Zhu Tong hurriedly nodded.
Uncle Liu was still hesitating.
When the young master asked to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that he should go back to the hospital for a re-examination at least once a month. Now that a month has passed, his master should also be very worried about the young master’s health….
He pondered for a while. After he decided, he entered the car and drove them off from the hospital.
Zhu Tong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
