♂?，，

  "What's up?" Tang Xianxian furrowed her eyebrows, looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar Su Shijie, feeling a bit uneasy in her heart, but not knowing how to start talking to make him leave.

  Su Shijie's pair of bright starry eyes shone brightly as he looked at her, and under her astonished gaze, he knelt down on one knee and took out a red brocade box from his coat pocket.

  In Tong Xiangxiang's astonishment, she opened the brocade box, and inside was an exquisite diamond ring.

  He handed the rose in his hand to her face, "Mianmian, although I think what I want to say has been a bit late, but I still want to say it, marry me."

  Tang MiMi,"......"

  She subconsciously looked at the people in the ward, each of whom was staring at her with an unusual gaze.

  This made her very uneasy. "Is Su Shijie sick? Has he gone crazy today? Why is he saying such strange things?"

  "It may sound strange, but this is what I've been wanting to say for months but didn't dare to. I'm not being impulsive, I've finally come back to my senses. I know it may be sudden, but this is what I want to do. Whether you agree or not, I just want to say it out loud to prove how serious I am about these feelings." He said stubbornly.

  Tang Mianmian felt a severe headache, "Don't cause more trouble for me, okay? I am now the wife of Long Ye, this is something I believe very clearly."

  "I understand, but what does it have to do with you proposing to me?"

  "I..." Tang Xiangxiang felt that she was really unable to explain herself.

  There was another group of people staring at her in the room, she felt like she was on a knife mountain and a fire sea, unbearable pain.

  From this angle, Long Ye's expression can't be seen.

  What if he misunderstood? What can be done then?

  She can ignore what Grandfather and others think, but she has to care about what Long Ye thinks.

  Su Shijie handed the ring out again, "This ring was custom-made by me, do you still remember that design book from our university days? I chose one of them and had this ring made, just to propose to you."

  Design this...

  Academy of Fine Arts...

  Ring!

  Tang Mianmian really felt like she was going crazy, "That was just a graduation project to appease the teacher back then, don't make it sound so meaningful!"

  "But I'm very serious." Su Shijie was insistent, his tone still so determined. "Yesterday's questions from those reporters made me deeply realize that I should do something about it. Last night, I held a press conference and publicly announced the whole story, clearing my name. Now, what I need to do is to hold up the sky and not let it suffer from these storms."

  Tang Miyan shook her lips and closed her eyes, somewhat helpless.

  He said he was innocent.

  But why does she now feel that even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn't wash herself clean?

  "...Misty..." Su Shijie wanted to say something else.

  "But a dissuading voice came from the ward, 'Jue, you still have injuries on your leg, don't get up...'"

  This is Zhu Wenyi dissuading his own son.

  Tang MiMi nervously looked towards the ward...

  A series of dull thuds echoed from inside, like heavy objects falling to the ground, pounding against her heart with a dull ache.

  The old man's eyes were cold and stern, unlike his usual self. He just looked at her with a chilly gaze, but didn't say a word.

  "Grandpa..." She wanted to explain.

  Before she could even open her mouth, Long Ye's gloomy expression appeared before her.

  His eyes were icy cold with no warmth at all, so unfamiliar that it frightened her.

  "Long Ye Jue, believe me..." she muttered blankly.

  Long Yejue ignored her plea and turned to look at Su Shijie, who was still kneeling on the ground, with a fierce expression. "Are you proposing to my wife?"

  Su Shijie didn't expect Long Yeye to be here too, just now he was indeed too excited, so as soon as he saw Tang Xiangxiang, he couldn't wait to speak up.

  But unexpectedly, Long Ye was also here.

  And behind him, there is also the highest decision-maker of the Long family, as well as other relevant personnel of the Long family.

  Everyone's expression was gloomy.

  When Long Ye appeared in front of him, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been a bit impulsive.

  Although proposing was an impulsive idea, he had never thought of proposing to Tang Xiangxiang in front of Long Yejie...

  He stood up and before he could speak, Long Ye had already ignored his injured right leg and punched Su Shi Jie's face.

  Tang Mianmian cried out in alarm, "Long Ye, stop!"

  Long Ye Jue wouldn't listen to Tang Mianmian's persuasion, still ignoring his injured legs, he grabbed the collar of Su Shi Jie's clothes, with a fierce gaze, "Has he eaten the heart of a leopard? Daring to propose to my woman? Su Shi Jie, who gave you the guts to provoke me Long Ye Jue's patience?"

  After finishing speaking, he punched again.

  Tang Mianmian screamed, "Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

  Su Shijie didn't react in time and was hit twice in a row, both of which were Long Yejie's furious fists, and he naturally got hurt.

  Her cheeks suddenly turned red and swollen, her nose and mouth bleeding, the delicate rose in her hand also fell to the ground, scattering like a crimson mist.

  Tang Mianmian rushed forward and grabbed Long Ye's arm, crying out, "Stop fighting, his leg is still injured, don't use martial arts again, okay?"

  Su Shijie spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Long Ye with a gloomy expression, "What right do you have to hit me?"

  "Because she is my wife!" Dragon Night roared in anger.

  Su Shijie sneered, "Yes, I don't deny this, but where was she when she fainted on the side of the road in the heavy snow? Where was she when she had a fever all night? Don't think I don't know, following the green plum and bamboo horse, ex-fiancée together!"

  Long Ye's face turned dark with rage, and when he mentioned this matter, he became even more furious, struggling to go and beat Su Shi Jie again.

  Tang Mianmian grabbed him, "Stop fighting! Su Shijie, hurry up and leave, I don't want to see you now, please don't come to disturb my life again, can you? Consider it a favor from me."

  She wept and begged Su Shijie.

  Although Su Shijie was also filled with anger in his heart, as soon as he saw her crying and begging him, his heart softened. He gritted his teeth, picked up the diamond ring on the ground, and said angrily, "I'll remember these two punches today. I'm hurt, but I won't hold it against you. However, I won't give up pursuing Mengmeng. If she doesn't cherish me, someone else will."

  "That's enough!" Tang Xianxian roared in a tone of utter despair.

  Su Shijie could only leave in anger.

  Long Yejue leaned against the wall, panting, his eyes cold and devoid of warmth as he gazed at Tang Xiangxiang with a detached expression. "Still can't forget old feelings?"

  "I..." Tāng Miànmiàn didn't expect him to start like this, suddenly felt a little suffocated, to the point of forgetting to breathe.

  His voice was cold and thin, like a needle piercing her heart, "I'm just injured and hospitalized, yet I didn't come home all night, with Su Shijie together, and even opened a room in the hotel?"

  "It's not like that." Tang Xianxian tried to explain.

  "That's enough! I don't want to hear those fabricated lies. Go and see what the news in the entire Jiang City is saying now, I, Long Ye Jue, have been wearing the biggest green hat in the entire Jiang City, all thanks to Tang Xiangxiang. Are you happy? Are you relieved?"

  His voice was as cold as an ice cellar, cutting into her heart like a sharp blade.

  Tang's delicate and lovely face suddenly turned pale.

  At this moment, she finally realized that the man in front of her was no longer the gentle Long Ye.

  Her lips trembled and she choked back a sob, summoning her last ounce of strength to ask, "Don't you believe me?"

  "Do you believe? He's already kneeling in front of me with a proposal, how can I possibly believe?" Long Ye's eyes were thoroughly icy at the bottom.

  Words are stuck in my throat like a fishbone, I want to explain but don't know where to start.

  Nor did I have the courage to explain...

  My mind is filled with his distrust...

  Just as I thought before, the two words "trust" are easy to write, but difficult to do.

  She bit her lip and stood there with a pale face, bearing the strange gaze from the Long family.

  Long Ye had already turned around and entered the ward with the support of his bodyguards, leaving behind only a cold back view for her.

  Her heart was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

  But it still vividly reminded her of the cruel thing that had just happened and his cold-blooded words.

  Long Zhenfei, who had been silent all along, walked out with a crutch and stood in front of her. His eyebrows were furrowed, with a hint of severity on his face. "I'm very disappointed."

  Tang gently lowered her eyelids, and tears had already blurred her vision...

  "I've always said that as a member of the Long family, one must be cautious with their words and actions outside. But during the turmoil in the Long family, they delivered a fatal blow, making me feel that all the love and care from before were wasted." Long Zhenfei's tone was cold and harsh, but couldn't conceal his inner disappointment.

  Nothing harsh was said, just a few words were spoken and then he turned around and walked away coldly.

  Tang Mianmian took a small step back, and the entire world began to distort.

  The others who followed Lao Yezi had also left, leaving only Zhu Wenyi and Long Fengteng standing there.

  Tears had blurred her vision, and she could no longer see the person in front of her clearly.

  His ears were filled with the cruel words that Long Ye had just spoken, as well as Long Zhenfei's disappointed sighs.

  Zhu Wenyi was saying something, but she couldn't hear it.

  Long Fengteng was persuading something, but she couldn't hear it either.

  She felt as if the entire world had started spinning around her, like a massive whirlpool sweeping her away.

  Chen Qiuhua rushed over upon hearing the news and saw her daughter standing dazed at the door of the hospital room, her thin body swaying back and forth several times.

  Her heart was in her throat, just as she was about to call out to her, but then she saw her collapse.

  At that moment, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

  Regardless of his own aged body, he rushed over and caught his daughter's fainting body in the most critical moment.

  And she also sprained her foot because of this, and her bones made a cracking sound, hurting so much that she let out a muffled groan...

  But Tang Mi had already pressed down heavily on her body...

  Qiu Hua Chen was in so much pain that she was drenched in sweat, but she couldn't bear to look at her own legs. Instead, she anxiously called out, "Meng Meng, Meng Meng, what's wrong? Wake up, look at Mom, don't be afraid, Mom is here, Mom has always been here..."

  She held her daughter in her arms, calling out anxiously, even though there was no response, but couldn't hide her panic and worry, "Mengmeng, my daughter, what's wrong? Wake up, look at mom..."

  Zhu Wenyi did not expect Tang Mi to faint either, although she was still resentful of the things Tang Mi had done, but she still came forward and planned to help Tang Mi up.

  Ke Chen Qiuhua pushed her away, "Get out, my daughter has been bullied like this, and you still don't plan to let her go?"
