Ten minutes later.
Shen Xinai, in a sorry state, felt a sharp pain in her knee. The overwhelming humiliation engulfed her, leaving her utterly embarrassed. She silently vowed to repay Shen Xingkong, that despicable woman, with double or even a thousand times the humiliation she had suffered today!
Almost biting her teeth off, she asked, "Can I get up now?"
"The way you kneel down is much cuter than when you stand tall and scream arrogantly!" Shen Xingkong said with an ambiguous smile.
"You!" Shen Xinai wanted to kill her.
But the knife hanging over her head made her hesitate, and she could only endure Shen Xingkong's humiliation.
Shen Xingkong chuckled meaningfully, and suddenly grabbed her wrist, putting a knife in her hand.
"Ah... please don't kill me... Sister, I beg you... don't kill me..." Shen Xinai pleaded.
With a swish, the knife cut across her collarbone, and blood gushed out instantly.
Shen Xinai was stunned.
"Ah! Are you crazy?" Shen Xinai instinctively wanted to throw away the knife, but was scared by Shen Xingkong's gaze and forgot to move.
Shen Xingkong smirked, holding her wrist and preparing to cut herself again. Just as she begged her not to kill her, the door to the ward was pushed open again.
She quickly glanced over, and the cunning light in her black eyes disappeared in an instant.
Trembling with fear, she said, "Sister... I beg you, don't kill me. I really didn't mean to mess up... I promise I will succeed next time, I promise to make Huo Siye fall into your trap and agree to the engagement. Please, sister, don't kill me... I know I was wrong..."
Shen Xinai widened her eyes, feeling overwhelmed by what was happening in front of her. She just wanted to get rid of the knife in her hand as soon as possible. But her struggling looked like an attack in the eyes of the person entering the hospital room.
"Sister, don't... Grandpa! Grandpa, save me!" XingKong's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted for help in the direction behind Shen Xinai.
Grandpa?
Shen Xinai froze behind her.
Finally realizing that she had been tricked again!
The flames of anger rose instantly.
"Shen Xingkong, you bitch, go to hell!" Shen Xinai's eyes turned red, and she forcefully aimed the knife at Shen Xingkong.
And in that instant, Shen Xingkong suddenly let go of her hand.
The knife pierced through without any resistance.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream tore through the sky.
"Shen Xinai!"
A roar came from behind, and Shen Xinai was startled. She instinctively let go of the knife and turned around in horror, facing the angry gaze of the person who had just arrived. Finally coming back to her senses, she said, "Grandpa... Grandpa!" Grandpa Shen could hardly believe his eyes.
What did he see?
He actually saw his usually gentle and kind granddaughter holding a knife and attacking the timid Shen Xingkong.
"What are you doing?" Grandpa Shen, leaning on his cane, trembled with anger and walked over. "You have disappointed me."
"Grandpa..." Shen Xinai didn't know how things had turned out like this. She felt wronged and sad after being glared at by her grandfather.
"Xingkong, how are you? Are you hurt?" After glaring at Shen Xinai, Grandpa Shen turned to XingKong and asked with concern.
Shen XingKong remained silent, only looking at the old man with grievances. The old man sighed and glanced at the knife still stuck in her shoulder, his eyes clouded. "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will call a doctor for you."
"No!" Shen XingKong stopped him, glancing timidly at Shen Xinai. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister will be unhappy."
"You silly child, if you don't see a doctor, you'll die even with injuries like this. Don't worry about her, no one will dare to hurt you with Grandpa around." The old man gave Shen Xinai a complex look.
"Grandpa, it's not what you think, I didn't do it, it was her... She did it on purpose, she wanted to frame me." Shen Xinai hurriedly defended herself.
The old man snorted and pressed the call button on the bedside.
"Does it hurt? Don't be afraid, Grandpa will always be with you." The old man comforted her.
"It doesn't hurt, Grandpa." Shen XingKong shook her head.
"You're covered in injuries, how could it not hurt? You're just too sensible."
"If she were sensible, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble for the Shen family." A sharp and sarcastic voice sounded as Shen's old lady walked over with a cold face.
She gave a cold glance at Shen XingKong. "These minor injuries won't kill you, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"
Listening to Shen's old lady's harsh words, Shen XingKong felt a lump in her throat. Shen's old lady had never liked her or her biological mother. At first, she couldn't understand why.
The reason why the Shen family could go from an ordinary demolition household to a real estate developer, and rise to the upper class of Yun City, was all because of her mother's foresight and seizing the opportunity, and fighting for it.
Later, Xingkong realized that Mrs. Shen didn't like a strong-willed daughter-in-law. In her eyes, a daughter-in-law should serve and obey, not be a powerful woman in the business world. Mrs. Shen preferred to be called "Mrs. Shen" rather than "so-and-so's mother-in-law". However, she forgot that people respected her as "Mrs. Shen" because her daughter-in-law had enough capital to give her face. Thinking of her own mother who died in a fire when she was ten, Xingkong felt a sharp pain in her chest. It was Dong Ru zhu and Shen Zhizhou who killed her mother. Hatred filled her heart and lungs. "Shen Xingkong, what's wrong with you? You ruined a good graduation banquet. Did you forget that you grew up on someone else's rice?" The old lady rolled her eyes. She had never liked Shen Xingkong. Because of her strong-willed daughter-in-law, she had always been unhappy with her. But there was nothing she could do, so she had to endure it. She thought she could finally get rid of her after her daughter-in-law died and it was proven that the girl was not her real granddaughter. But Dong Ru zhu insisted on keeping her. It was good for the Shen family's reputation, and it gave her a punching bag. Who would have thought that she would end up killing her precious granddaughter?
I am so angry.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The old lady glared fiercely at Shen Xingkong and raised her arm, ready to hit her.
"You shameless person, how dare you harm my precious granddaughter like this! I'll teach you a lesson... Ahh... Let go of me, you little slut!"
