Mr. and Mrs. Du's eyes showed confusion.
Lin Xinlan bitterly smiled inside, guessing that she was in for some unpleasant consequences next.
The nanny glanced at her and sneered coldly, "She, she's the driver who hit Miss Du and caused her to become comatose — a vegetable!"
"What?!" Mrs. Du let out a piercing scream.
Both she and her husband found it hard to believe that Rong Shaoze not only had immediately married another woman but had also married the perpetrator who harmed their daughter.
They looked at Lin Xinlan in shock, their eyes filled with hatred, as if they wanted to tear her apart on the spot!
"Ah, I will kill you, give me my daughter back!" Mrs. Du suddenly erupted, pouncing on Lin Xinlan and grabbing her hair to yank it viciously.
Mr. Du, too, rushed over in anger and raised his hand to hit Lin Xinlan's face hard, "You murderous fiend, I'll kill you! You turned my daughter into a vegetable, now give her life back!"
The strength of both was formidable, and their blows rained down like a hailstorm. Lin Xinlan crouched on the ground, hugging herself tightly, trying to protect her own body as much as possible.
Having her hair pulled was excruciating, feeling as though her scalp was being ripped off.
Every part of her body was in pain.
Mrs. Du's screams of agony echoed nonstop.
"How dare you! How could you harm my daughter and still marry her fiancé, becoming the Rong Family's Young Madam! What gives you the right to avoid retribution and still enjoy wealth and glory! You wretch, I'll make sure you suffer, I'll kill you today to avenge my daughter!"
"Husband, beat her to death, don't show any mercy, kill her to see if she dares to fight back!"
The man's punches and kicks mercilessly slammed into her body, and Lin Xinlan was suddenly kicked and sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall.
She felt a warm liquid flowing from her nose, tremblingly wiped it, and realized she was bleeding.
Seeing that they were still not appeased, she lowered her eyes and whispered softly, "I'm sorry..."
"When I've killed you, I'll say sorry to you, how about that!" Mrs. Du screamed and lunged at her again.
"Stop!" A deep voice suddenly rang out.
Mrs. Du paused and turned her head to see Rong Shaoze standing at the doorway, his expression indifferent.
Seeing him, she felt incredibly wronged, "Shaoze, you've arrived just in time! Explain to us, why would you marry this wench? You clearly know she's the one who harmed Ruoxin. Why would you marry her?! Ruoxin has loved you since she was a child, silently taking care of you. Has all she's done for you been repaid with your betrayal?!"
Rong Shaoze glanced briefly at Lin Xinlan, feeling not the slightest bit of sympathy.
As far as he was concerned, it served Lin Xinlan right to be beaten.
"Take her down and have the doctor see to her," he ordered the nanny indifferently.
The nanny nodded compliantly, "Yes."
She hurried to help Lin Xinlan up and immediately took her out of the hospital room. She was very afraid that Lin Xinlan might speak ill of her in front of Young Master Rong, for if she did, she was as good as dead.
But Lin Xinlan said nothing, her eyes downcast as she walked out of the hospital room with the nanny's support, in silence.
After they left, the door to the hospital room closed, and who knows what Rong Shaoze might have said to the parents of Du Ruoxin...
----
Her injuries were too severe, almost her entire body was covered in bruises. Fortunately, no bones had been hurt.
The doctor, seeing her condition and thinking she had suffered domestic abuse, suggested while tending to her wounds that she could introduce her to a lawyer specializing in such matters.
She even kindly told Lin Xinlan that women should know how to protect themselves and the like.
Lin Xinlan said nothing, just stared blankly out the window, not responding to the doctor's words.
