Bai Tang left the hospital in high spirits.
She knew that after beating Feng Zi up today, he definitely wouldn't let her off the hook. But even if she hadn't hit him, he wouldn't have let her go either. After all, Feng Zi had lost to her in the race and ended up seriously injured—with his petty and narrow-minded nature, he was bound to come after her. Not only would he target her, but he'd also go after Zhang Xiaochu. By giving him a thorough beating today, she'd force him to focus all his firepower on her, leaving him no energy to deal with Zhang Xiaochu.
She had offended Feng Zi so completely that he'd probably go after the entire Bai family along with her!
Bai Tang smiled. This way, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger against Bai Chengfeng—someone else would take care of him. Even though she had snatched the position of president of the Bai Group, Bai Chengfeng was still the richest man in Lingshan City, and over the years, he must have built up some connections. It wouldn't be easy for Feng Zi to take him down. Once the two of them had worn each other out, she could step in to finish things off, and her business in Lingshan City would be wrapped up.
Strolling slowly out of the hospital entrance, the smile on Bai Tang's lips froze instantly when she saw the car parked at the gate.
Just for a moment, the corners of Bai Tang's mouth lifted slightly. She stood still, beaming at the person. "Beautiful, did you come to pick me up?"
Sheng Qi walked toward her, his gaze landing on her right hand, his brows tightly furrowed. "Didn't they bandage it? Is this how they bandage it?"
Bai Tang raised her hand and said with a smile, "The doctor said it's healing well, no need for bandaging—just applying some ointment is fine!"
Sheng Qi's face darkened, looking very displeased. "Healed overnight? Do you think the medicine they gave you yesterday was some kind of miracle cure?"
Bai Tang paused, then couldn't help laughing out loud. "Beautiful, you can joke too!"
Sheng Qi kept his face cold and said nothing. He directly grabbed her left wrist and headed back into the hospital.
From the moment they went in until her arm was bandaged and they came out, Sheng Qi didn't say a single word to her, maintaining a stony expression the entire time.
Once in the car, Bai Tang turned her head to look at him, gently poking his arm with her index finger. "Beautiful, are you mad?"
Sheng Qi didn't reply, just turned and shot her a glare.
Bai Tang: "..."
Clearing her throat lightly, Bai Tang changed the subject. "Beautiful, thank you for cleaning up the living room for me yesterday. To express my sincerest gratitude, how about I treat you to something to eat?"
"Beautiful, I was wrong. Could you at least say something?"
She was genuinely exasperated by his complete silence throughout. Not saying a word—wasn't he afraid of suffocating himself?
No matter how much Bai Tang chattered, Sheng Qi remained silent. This silence persisted until the car stopped at Bai Tang's doorstep.
"Grab your backpack. I'll take you to school," Sheng Qi said coldly.
Bai Tang didn't move. She looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you really mad?"
Sheng Qi pressed his lips together, frowned, and stared at her with displeasure. "Why did you go see Feng Zi?"
Bai Tang: "..."
So that's what it was. Why didn't he say so earlier!
"I went to visit him at the hospital. After all, he got hurt because of me, so I had to express my concern and apologize." Bai Tang sighed. "But he even cursed at me. I'm a bit upset, Beautiful. I need comfort."
Sheng Qi looked at the woman's pitiful expression, his brows tightly knit. He knew her words were full of exaggeration, but seeing her like that, he ultimately let out a helpless sigh.
"You didn't provoke him?"
"How could I?"
Bai Tang blinked her eyes, looking utterly innocent and harmless. "I'm a model student who excels in virtue, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. How could I possibly provoke him? I just went to express my regards. I even specially bought a bouquet of flowers, even though he didn't like them much."
