Chapter 742

The logic is flawed in its essence.

It started with verbal abuse, and later it became begging.

This is not a palace or household intrigue; that fragile, shrinking violet act does not work on her.

She exited WeChat and got straight into the car, preparing to head to Laozhai.

Qiao Nainai is being discharged from the hospital today, and both she and Qiao Muting will rush to Laozhai after work.

While Shu Xia did not care about Song Ziqi's messages, Song Ziqi, having received no reply from Shu Xia for a long time, lay on the bed, enduring the pain of illness while also having to face Shu Xia's complete disregard.

No matter what, she shouldn't ignore her, right?

She had taken leave and been sick at home for three days.

The only person who came to see her these past three days was Doctor Guo; Brother Mu Ting had not appeared once.

Even Jiang Tu had not asked about her; she posted on her social media feed almost every day, and she did not believe Jiang Tu had not seen them—Jiang Tu must have ignored them on purpose.

"I... I have never done anything wrong, why can't you all be like you were before?"

If there were no Shu Xia.

If there were no Xie Ran.

Would everything be fine?

——

For some reason today, a stretch of road that usually isn't congested was suddenly jammed.

They had been stuck here for half an hour.

Shu Xia looked at the situation ahead; it was completely impossible to move.

Under these circumstances, she would not be able to reach Laozhai in a short time.

She could only call Qiao Muting to tell him about the traffic jam, and Qiao Muting told her not to worry.

Perhaps because they had been waiting for too long, the driver was losing patience.

Just as he was finally able to press the gas pedal to move forward at a snail's pace, *bang! *

She was rear-ended hard!

The uncontrollable inertia caused her head to slam into the steering wheel; she immediately felt dizzy, and her head was buzzing—her remaining reason wondered, surely she hadn't gotten a concussion, had she?

Next, someone knocked on the car window, signaling for her to open the door and check on her condition.

Shu Xia steadied herself, then opened the car door and got out.

The moment she stepped out of the car, she was a bit unsteady on her feet.

"Call the traffic police."

After Shu Xia spoke indifferently, she took out her phone to dial 120; she needed to go to the hospital to get checked out in her condition.

*Slap! *

Her phone was swatted out of her hand and onto the ground.

Before she could react, she was dragged into a car nearby.

At the same time, a syringe was plunged into her arm.

Before she could even resist, she had already lost consciousness...

——

5:50.

Huo Jingyan returned early.

He was carrying a cake in his hand.

Seeing the cake, Jiang Nannan was stunned, "You..."

How did he think to buy a cake and bring it back?

Huo Jingyan set the cake down, his expression gentle, as if what happened at the airport today had never occurred, "Today is our wedding anniversary; did you forget?"

Jiang Nannan's body stiffened, "Wedding anniversary?"

They had been married for one year.

A full year.

Perhaps because they had known each other for a long time and had been in love for several years, there was always a feeling that they had been married for several years.

As it turned out, it had only been a year.

Yet she had forgotten.
