The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 88: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (Part 17)

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (Part 17)

Su Li specifically chose a sunny afternoon to buy a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers from the florist, then set off for the hospital with them in hand.

Before she even reached the door of the ward, still some distance away, she could see that a crowd had gathered outside in the hallway.

Overhearing snippets of conversation from the surrounding onlookers, she pieced together a rough account of the events.

It seemed Shi Shen and Ye Ruolan were leading quite the dramatic life indeed.

Su Li curled her lips into a smile, clearly amused.

"Hey, has room 403 started making a scene again?"

"Indeed, we have to deal with a spectacle every day like an airport here, disrupts our rest."

"I heard that those two inside are a couple. At first, I thought their love for each other was deep, but according to the nurses, the man donated a kidney to the woman."

"Yeah, I heard that too. However, judging by their daily quarrels and even getting physical, it seems like that’s not the whole story."

"Exactly, I found out that there’s more to it. That guy didn’t donate willingly; the woman coerced him... Nowadays, it’s incredibly hard to find a matching kidney. Just in this ward alone, there are more patients waiting for transplants than you can count on both hands. Better to figure out your own solution, hmph."

Su Li smiled at the gossip-hungry crowd, who had been discussing fervently, and then walked past them towards room 403.

"Wow, who is that? She’s so, so pretty... I think I’m falling in love..."

Inside the ward, Shi Shen and Ye Ruolan were like two roosters with their necks stretched out, eyes bulging with bloodshot redness, looking as if they were ready to tear each other to shreds.

"Slut, you’re so malicious. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this."

He had consulted with the doctor again. In theory, he should be able to lead a basic normal life, but in practice, who can guarantee that with absolute certainty?

Moreover, since his house had been sold and the money hadn’t been recovered, and the hospital was a gold-digging cave, it seemed only fair to ask Ye Ruolan for some money, right?

Even if the Ye Family had gone bankrupt, Ye Ruolan definitely still had some savings.

Faced with the man who once showed her nothing but tenderness, Ye Ruolan was no less fierce, her originally dignified bearing unrecognizable now.

"Shi Shen, it’s your own incompetence. If you hadn’t harbored ulterior motives and dealt with Xiao Li early on, how could things have come to this?"

"Anyway, I’ve explained it to you. I’m not clear about why the person on the operating table was switched to you, but one thing I’m sure of is, it definitely has something to do with Su Li."

Shi Shen: "At this point, you’re still trying to drag others down? The person who has benefited the most from this situation is you. What good does Su Li gain by doing this?"

Shi Shen absolutely refused to believe anything Ye Ruolan said. Now, as he saw it, he had been blind all along; the woman before him had only ever spoken lies. Ironically, he never saw through her, even thinking of dragging Su Li down with him, and now, he faced the consequences... freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Ye Ruolan: "I can’t reason with you. Anyway, I’m broke right now."

The Ye Family had fallen, and her previous life of luxury was gone. Even if she still had some money now, she wouldn’t hand it over. Not to Shi Shen, whom she now hoped to ditch, and not even if her own brother came asking; she’d give the same response.

She had to plan for the future.

Although her health was gradually improving, if it had been during the former wealth of the Ye Family, she wouldn’t have been worried.

But now, with the need to take medicine regularly every month came a significant expense, so she needed to be frugal.

It was indeed... frustrating....

Shi Shen’s face was shrouded in gloom, and with a deep, sullen voice, he said, "Now that I have nothing left, if you’re unwilling to support me, I won’t let you off easily. If I suffer, you’ll suffer too. I will haunt you relentlessly."

Unlike before, Shi Shen did not reveal an angry expression. He calmly stated his thoughts, even offering Ye Ruolan a gentle smile that had been absent for a long time.

Yet, it was precisely this gesture that sent chills down Ye Ruolan’s spine, a relentless sense of foreboding echoing in her heart.

Faced with such a person, Ye Ruolan dared not provoke him and made an effort to soften her tone, "Ah Zhi, don’t worry, I won’t just abandon you. Take it easy."

Shi Shen had long seen through the deceitful heart beneath Ye Ruolan’s beauty and remained unmoved by her current pretense, replying in a cold voice, "You’d better. Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to know the consequences."

It was really...

A dog-eat-dog world, quite the spectacle indeed.

Su Li leaned against the doorway, taking in the scene on the sickbed.

After watching her fill, she slowly stood up and said with a lazy tone, "Hope I’m not interrupting."

Caught exhibiting his disgraceful side, Shi Shen awkwardly forced a smile, "Xiao Li..."

"You came to see me," joy and hope sparked in Shi Shen’s eyes.

Ye Ruolan, unable to stomach it, interjected with sarcasm, "What, you think she has feelings for you?"

"Even if she used to care about you, knowing what you’ve done, she wouldn’t bother anymore."

Ignoring the sudden pallor on Shi Shen’s face, Ye Ruolan continued vindictively, "She’s probably here to watch the spectacle."

"Although I have no evidence to prove all this was her doing, I can be certain she’s up to no good."

Ye Ruolan gritted her teeth, her venomous gaze circling Su Li over and over.

Without a word, Su Li just smiled, gently arranging the fresh flowers into a vase.

On the other hand, Shi Shen couldn’t stand it anymore, "Shut up. Do you think everyone is as malicious as you?"

Ye Ruolan retorted, "Me, malicious? We’re cut from the same cloth. You didn’t reject my proposal either. We’re both as bad as each other; no one should judge the other."

Turning her head, Ye Ruolan suddenly flashed a sinister smile, "Su Li, you still don’t know what your childhood sweetheart once wanted to do to you..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut the hell up..."

Shi Shen didn’t want Su Li to know what he once intended to do; with such filth within him, how could he still be worthy of her?

Ye Ruolan persisted, "You want me to be quiet? Well, I insist on speaking."

"Do you know how disgusting this man is on the inside? You should know..." Ye Ruolan’s words to Su Li were cut short when Shi Shen violently interrupted her.

A scream pierced the air as a large gash opened on Ye Ruolan’s head, blood streaming down her forehead.

Shi Shen’s trembling hand held a large porcelain cup used for drinking water, now stained with a vivid red.

"I told you not to speak..."

Su Li watched coldly and pointed out calmly, "She’s bleeding quite a bit; you might want to call a doctor."

"Xiao Li, I...."
