177: Chapter 178: The Person Behind 177: Chapter 178: The Person Behind Whether it was permanent paralysis or full-body paralysis, it was not good news for Liu Dazhuang. The key point was that Liu Dafei, at Jinling Hospital, did not dare to threaten the doctors here like he did at the Red Cross Hospital in Jiangbei. “Doctor, could my brother’s injuries be fully cured?” Liu Dafei asked. “Mr. Liu, we can’t guarantee that. Any surgery carries certain risks and success rates. Your brother’s limb fractures are relatively easy to treat, but his main spinal column is broken. Even with surgery, it may not be fully healed, and it will depend on his post-surgical recovery.” “What is the success rate of the surgery?” “Over eighty percent, I would say.” The attending doctor said. If Liu Dazhuang was to undergo surgery now, a family member, either Liu Dafei or another relative, needed to sign off on it. Liu Dafei knew that it had come to this point. If Jinling Hospital couldn’t treat him, it would be very difficult to find another hospital that could. After reviewing the surgery and risk consent forms, Liu Dafei signed his name. The surgery cost was a hefty three hundred thousand yuan. However, compared to the five million yuan Ye Qiu had demanded, it was naturally much less. After personally paying the bill, Liu Dafei watched as Liu Dazhuang was taken into the operating room. Liu Dafei, having paid the fee, could only wait outside with Zhang Xiaofei and other gang members from the Motorcycle Gang. But Zhang Xiaofei was reminded of what Ye Qiu had said and was still very afraid that Liu Dazhuang’s surgery would fail. Ye Qiu returned to the teaching building and saw Liu Lingxiu waiting for her. This time, Liu Lingxiu felt she did fairly well in every subject during the mock exams, especially in English, where she excelled in listening comprehension. She believed that her scores in this mock exam would surpass the joint exam, but might be a bit lower than her monthly exam scores. While comparing answers with Ye Qiu, she found she had done quite well. Su Luoluo observed from behind. Perhaps because of what happened that afternoon on the rooftop, she was in a bad mood and underperformed in listening comprehension. As for other subjects, Su Luoluo believed she had done quite well. But she found it odd. In terms of family background, looks, and academic performance, she was far superior to Liu Lingxiu. Why did Ye Qiu fall for Liu Lingxiu instead of her? Was it because she had rejected him in the past? Or had Ye Qiu given up on her? Su Luoluo didn’t know. But she could see that since Ye Qiu had returned from the car accident, his impression of her had worsened and never changed back. Watching Ye Qiu ride off with Liu Lingxiu on his electric bike, Su Luoluo left with a few bodyguards accompanying her. But now, the Su Family was still puzzled. Since that incident, it seemed no one had troubled Su Luoluo again. Was it because the people behind the last incident were afraid to show up again? Ye Qiu rode the bike to Liu Lingxiu’s house. Liu Lingxiu clung tightly to Ye Qiu’s waist, inhaling his unique masculine scent. She had fallen deeply in love with Ye Qiu, and if they weren’t together in the future, she would rather go back to being the mute girl she once was. But Liu Lingxiu knew she couldn’t go back to that mute girl, and Ye Qiu wouldn’t leave her. When they reached Liu Lingxiu’s house, Ye Qiu parked the bike and helped Liu Lingxiu off. He noticed that Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing had already returned home from work and were making dinner. Tonight’s dinner seemed especially lavish, with chicken, duck, goose, and pork, all freshly bought. Ye Qiu thought it was because he had given Zhang Yuehong money for groceries, enabling her to buy more food. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuehong thought that Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu had done well in the mock exam and had specially bought more food for their nourishment. “Ye Qiu, I know you gave us that money, but we won’t use it. We’ll save it for you two in the future.” Zhang Yuehong didn’t know that Ye Qiu’s money was easily earned now, and even if she did, she still wouldn’t accept money from him for groceries. However, she kept the money, thinking it could be used for wedding gifts when Liu Lingxiu and Ye Qiu got married in the future. “Auntie, making money is easy for me now; that money isn’t much. Just use it to buy more food.” Ye Qiu said. Zhang Yuehong smiled and said no more. After dinner, around seven in the evening, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu headed back to Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School for evening self-study. When they arrived at the school building, Su Luoluo was already there. She seemed in better spirits, and when she saw Ye Qiu, she smiled a bit more. “Ye Qiu, I brought you some desserts, and there’s a portion for Liu Lingxiu as well.” Ye Qiu was surprised that Su Luoluo had thought of Liu Lingxiu. This made him look at Su Luoluo with some curiosity. Su Luoluo’s delicate face still resembled the childhood friend he once knew. He didn’t know why, but Ye Qiu felt she looked more and more like her. Previously, Ye Qiu thought that Su Luoluo was innocent, kind, pure, and beautiful, a woman worth protecting for life. But ever since she poisoned him, Ye Qiu’s impression of her had changed drastically. He couldn’t believe if what Su Luoluo had said to him was true or if she had always been acting in front of him. As for the present Su Luoluo, Ye Qiu could tell that she was just unwilling to let go of what she once easily obtained and was now struggling to reclaim it. Her kind of affection was different from Liu Lingxiu’s. But Ye Qiu remained nonchalant, seemingly indifferent to Su Luoluo. Su Luoluo handed one of the exquisite dessert boxes to Liu Lingxiu, who was reading at her desk at the time. She was surprised when Su Luoluo gave her the dessert. When she came to her senses, Liu Lingxiu said, “Thank you. I’ll ask my mom to make something for you next time.” Su Luoluo returned to her seat and looked at Ye Qiu, saying, “I’ve given her the dessert, and I brought some for you, too. Eat it now.” Su Luoluo then took the dessert to Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming at the back of the classroom. After they finished eating, she left the classroom and headed to Sina Internet Cafe. Seeing Ye Qiu’s reaction, Su Luoluo pouted in frustration, clenching her fists. She knew Ye Qiu was deliberately trying to annoy her. But deep down, Su Luoluo felt a bit happy because, to her, it meant Ye Qiu was still the same person, and he still cared about her. When Ye Qiu and Li Shen left the school gate of Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School and headed to Sina Internet Cafe, two men in a black car with out-of-town license plates watched Ye Qiu through the rearview mirror from about ten meters away.
