“Fang Yusheng!” Fang Pingjue could not stand it anymore. He shouted, “Shut up, all of you! Can’t you guys give us some peace!”
Fang Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Yusheng’s face for a long time.
Qiao Jiuyin was so angry that her face turned pale.
Only Qiao Jiusheng’s lips curled up a little. Her mood turned a little better.
After a moment of silence, the door to the emergency room finally opened. Everyone turned their attention to the doctor.
“Doctor, my daughter—”
Before Xu Pingfei could finish her question, the doctor said, “She’s out of danger. But she’s too weak. She needs to rest well.”
Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After more than an hour, the nurses took Fang Yuqing out of the operation room.
Jiang Wei stood at the back of the crowd and looked at Fang Yuqing, who lay on the bed as pale as a corpse. His heart suddenly ached.
She almost died…
The Fang family had many people, and everyone had gathered in Fang Yuqing’s ward. Jiang Wei looked out of place here as the only one with a different surname. The moment he entered his home, he heard his family and servants discussing the Fang family. The topic of discussion was none other than the eldest daughter of the Fang family, Fang Yuqing, who had gotten pregnant before turning 18. She even had an abortion and had committed suicide. Until now, it was unknown if she was alive or dead.
Jiang Wei stood in the living room and listened for a while before going upstairs.
He had just entered the room when he heard a knock on the door. He did not say anything, but the person pushed open the door and walked in.
Jiang Jie leaned against the wall. A worried expression appeared on her face. “Brother, have you heard? Fang Yuqing actually had an abortion!”
His sister’s gossipy and curious tone made Jiang Wei uncomfortable.
He remained silent. His sister walked to him, her eyes filled with curiosity and speculation. She touched his arm and asked, “Brother, do you know who Yuqing’s boyfriend is? When she was in a relationship, she was very secretive about it. Even I don’t know who her boyfriend is. Do you think her boyfriend knows that she had an abortion?”
Jiang Wei remained silent.
Jiang Jie muttered to herself, “If Yuqing’s father finds out about that boy, that boy will suffer the consequences. Now, everyone in the school knows about Yuqing’s abortion. Sigh, I heard that she committed suicide. It’s still unknown if she’s dead or alive. Brother, do you think Yuqing will…” Jiang Jie and Fang Yuqing knew each other. However, since the two were a year apart in age, they were not particularly close despite having overlapping social circles.
Girls this age loved to gossip. But when she thought that Fang Yuqing might die, Jiang Jie felt terrible.
Hearing Jiang Jie’s nagging, Jiang Wei felt his emotions become complicated.
He impatiently glanced at his sister and asked, “Can you shut up? Do you think it’s interesting to gossip behind others’ backs?”
Jiang Jie was stunned. Her eyes revealed her grievance. “Brother, why are you so fierce? If Fang Yuqing could do something like getting pregnant before marriage, why can’t I talk about it?”
Jiang Wei stared at her for a long time without saying anything.
“Please leave,” he said.
Jiang Jie could tell that her brother was in a bad mood; she did not dare to anger him. Thus, she stuck out her tongue and left.
Jiang Wei sat by the window, feeling upset.
***
The next day, when Jiang Wei arrived at school, he realized that the school’ atmosphere was a little strange.
Students gathered together to gossip could be seen everywhere. From afar, Jiang Wei could vaguely hear them mention words like “Fang Yuqing,” “self-hatred,” “suicidal,” and “cowardly.” A hint of viciousness flashed past Jiang Wei’s eyes.
What do you all understand about her?
Do you even know her well?
You don’t. What right do you have to judge her!
