Thinking of this possibility, Nina hurriedly comforted him: "Are you worried that Chen Qi will come after us, so you are worried and afraid? Don't worry, I'm here. That scumbag treated you like that last night, even if you hurt him, it was legitimate defense!"

If she really has to bear criminal responsibility, Nina has already thought of this excuse!

But for Xi Jiu, it doesn’t matter what his future acting career will be like.

At this time, Luo Xingkong, who heard the news, also rushed to the hospital anxiously: "Jiujiu!"

Seeing Luo Xingkong, Xi Jiu's sadness, coupled with the grievance of being bullied last night, could no longer be suppressed and burst out like a torrent: "Xingxing..."

Luo Xingkong rushed to the bedside with a worried look on his face. After a phone call between Qin Xiao and Yan Beichen in the morning, he learned that such a thing had happened to Xi Jiu last night!

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Wow..." When Xi Jiu saw Luo Xingkong, he felt aggrieved like a child for a moment and cried while hugging Luo Xingkong!

Luo Xingkong knew that she must have been frightened.

After asking Qin Xiao, he arrived in time, so Jiujiu was not bullied by that bastard.

She patted Xi Jiu's back, knowing that she was frightened, and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, Qin Xiao rushed over. I'm glad nothing happened."

But what really made Xi Jiu feel aggrieved was not what happened last night, but what happened between her, Qin Xiao and Mu Wanfeng.

Seeing her suddenly crying like this, Nina was a little stunned. She had never seen Xi Jiu cry like a child in front of anyone.

Luo Xingkong also felt that Xi Jiu was crying very sadly and thought that she was hurt and frightened last night.

"Do you feel better?"

Xi Jiu finally stopped crying.

At this time Qin Xiao also returned to the ward.

Luo Xingkong couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Qin Xiao glanced at Xi Jiu. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he clearly felt that she was intentionally avoiding his gaze.

Turning his gaze to Luo Xingkong again, thinking of the harm Xi Jiu had suffered last night, a chill appeared in his stern eyes: "It's okay, it's all dealt with."

"Who are they? How dare they bully Jiujiu so blatantly!?"

After all, Jiujiu is now a big star in the entertainment industry, so how could Chen Qi be so unscrupulous?

Qin Xiao certainly knew Chen Qi's identity, and he had bullied many female artists in the circle over the years.

"It's all my fault." Nina at the side also said with apologetic feeling: "I insisted on dragging Jiujiu to meet Mr. Lu, but I didn't expect to meet such a scumbag like Director Chen!"

Nina felt full of self-blame and guilt about this.

Fortunately, Jiujiu is fine, otherwise she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.

Just then, Lu Haoming entered the ward carrying a fruit basket.

"Ms. Xi." He came to apologize on behalf of Chen Qi.

Knowing that he and Chen Qi were friends, even though what happened last night had nothing to do with Lu Haoming, Xi Jiu no longer had any good feelings towards them.

"I'm really sorry that that happened. It happened that I went out for a short time last night to deal with some things. If I were here, I would never let him do that!" Lu Haoming's attitude was sincere with a hint of anger. He already knew that Xi Jiu was Qin Xiao's woman, and he could not afford to offend her.

Xi Jiu turned his face away, unwilling to pay any more attention to people like them.

"Ms. Xi, are you okay?" Lu Haoming walked closer to the bedside and expressed his concern.

Xi Jiu turned his face away, unwilling to respond.

Luo Xingkong frowned. Although the middle-aged man in front of her looked gentle and polite, he gave her a sense of hypocrisy.

"Who is he?" she turned and asked Qin Xiao.

"Mr. Lu from Summit Group." Qin Xiao said.

Mr. Lu?

Is this the Mr. Lu that the agent mentioned just now?

Although Luo Xingkong was not familiar with the entertainment industry, he had heard of the Summit Group, so it was normal for the agent to want to introduce Jiujiu to him.

"Who is this?" Mr. Lu frowned. He felt vaguely that he had seen Luo Xingkong somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.

Qin Xiao wanted to answer, but Luo Xingkong said coldly: "I am Xi Jiu's best friend. You should be thankful that Jiu Jiu was fine last night. Otherwise, I would have brought you to ruin!"

Lu Haoming didn't know the identity of the woman in front of him, but judging from her extremely oppressive and intimidating aura, she was definitely not an ordinary person.

It's strange. Xi Jiu obviously has no identity or background. She has been struggling in the entertainment industry for so many years to get to her current position. How come these two people suddenly jumped out to support her?

"What happened last night was indeed my negligence, and I am deeply sorry for it." Lu Haoming apologized sincerely.

He was still somewhat wary of the Qin family's status and position.

Luo Xingkong glanced at him coldly and did not respond.

Lu Haoming also knew that staying here any longer would be a waste of time. The main reason he came here today was because he was afraid that Qin Xiao would vent his anger on his Summit Group because of what happened yesterday.

"Then Miss Xi, have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

After nodding to Qin Xiao, Lu Haoming turned and left.

"Jiujiu, how are you?" Qin Xiao rushed to the bedside and looked at the person in front of him with heartache.

However, before his hand could touch Xi Jiu, she rolled over and dodged him: "I'm tired, I need to rest."

In fact, she wanted to be discharged directly from the hospital because she was not seriously injured.

But she knew that if she was discharged from the hospital and went home at this moment, Qin Xiao would definitely follow her home.

And at this moment, the person she least wanted to see was Qin Xiao.

Every word of Mu Wanfeng's words echoed in her ears like a knife, piercing her heart.

The sudden coldness caught Qin Xiao off guard, and his hands froze in mid-air, not knowing why.

Shouldn't she need me the most at this time? Why is she suddenly so cold and distant to me?

Are you angry that you went late last night?

Luo Xingkong also knew that they needed to be given space at this time, so he took Nina out of the ward.

Seeing that there was no one else in the ward, Qin Xiao quickly went over and whispered softly: "Baby..."

Xi Jiu closed his eyes and ignored him.

"Are you blaming me for being late yesterday? Sorry, I actually arrived a long time ago, but I just didn't know which room you were in."

Qin Xiao felt aggrieved about this because their relationship was not public, and many times he couldn't be with her openly in public.

"I'm tired and need to rest. You go ahead."

“……” Qin Xiao was stunned.

She actually let me go?

How could she let herself go at this time!

Qin Xiao seemed to have noticed something was wrong: "Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere——"

"Didn't you hear me telling you to leave?!" Xi Jiu suddenly stood up and yelled at him.

Qin Xiao was stunned by the yelling and felt a little bewildered.

"Baby, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Jiu's eyes were red. She felt heartbroken when she thought that she had been Mu Wanfeng's substitute all these years.
