After listening about the entire incident , the girl"s five brothers remained silent for some time."I am sorry , Senior Lu . It was my carelessness that resulted into this . I should have had known that this could happen . I should have thought about such a possibility . I ... ", Xi Yuan had a guilty expression on his face .
"Are you crazy ? Yuan , this is not your fault . I and Zhi Xi are both businessmen as well . We have ourselves seen such things happening. Business rivals can indeed be a pain sometimes . Its all fine until they both are fine ", Lu Wei patted the man"s shoulders .
" Exactly . Don"t take the blame on yourself . All you need to do is that you have to give us the name of your business rival . ", Zhi Xi said with an extra layer of meaning .
The six men were not going to go easy on that son of a bi*ch !
" By the way , where did you get that gun from ? ", Mo Zixuan asked as he looked at the equipment tucked inside Xi Yuan"s jacket .
" Uhh ... that is a licensed gun for security and defense purposes. I was trained for Armed Forces when I was 17 but couldn"t join because I had to takeover the Xi Empire . But rest a.s.sured . I keep it simply for self defense .", Xi Yuan explained .
The men nodded and stayed silent after that as they waited for Su Rogguang to come out.
" She is alright . Even I am amazed by her immunity . But of course , she needs a good bed rest ", Su Rogguang said as he stepped out .
" Are you guys not angry that Xinghe injured herself for Ying ? ", Xi Yuan asked after he rea.s.sured his heart about the girl"s health .
" Why would we be angry ? In fact , we are proud of her . This is how she is . She can do anything to protect the ones she loves . After all , that"s how we have brought her up . ", Zhi Bo shrugged .
" She was bound to fight . Her authority as Military Chief comes with that , after all . She masters five martial arts and has been trained to be a Special Forces officer . She couldn"t possibly let those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have their way . ", Zhi Al smiled.
" So .... none of you blame me for this ? ", Xi Yuan asked .
How could these six sister-doting men take this situation for granted ?
It was too surreal .
" Nah... Its fine . We wouldn"t have been able to stop her even if we would have been there . She is such a rebel sometimes.Also , you have saved her . We are somehow indebted to you . You have saved the reason for our existence , Yuan. ", Su Rogguang said .
"And about her courage for sacrificing her honour for Ying , well ... it wasn"t unexpected of her. She would rather endure every pain than letting any innocent suffer . ", Mo Zixuan sighed .
The Xi siblings were stunned speechless by the six men .
They had indeed brought her up. No wonder she was so courageous .
...
Next day ,
" Brothers ! No more fruits . I am fine . Really ! Those doctors are morons . ", Rong Xinghe dodged before the apple slice could touch her lips .
" Are you calling me a moron ?! Because I am the doctor who is working on you . ". Su Rogguang smiled as he leaned on the door of the ward .
" No ... "
" Forget that . Military Chief , you actually have the guts to abuse in front of me ! ", Lu Wei crossed his arms ," Al ! Cut five more apples . She is going to eat all of them ! "
" Aaahhh ! Sorry brother . I won"t abuse again ! I don"t like apples . Please . Give me grapes . Even orange would be fine . Not this ... ", the girl was about to cry .
" Who the h.e.l.l is making my sister-in-law cry ?!! Show me your face . ", Songyan barged inside the hospital room followed by Ningtao and Ruo Cy .
" Ningtao"s husband ... ", Zhi Xi shrugged and pointed his chin towards Lu Wei.
Ningtao turned around and glared at Lu Wei angrily ," Seems like Mr. Lu needs some lessons now . How dare you upset her ?!! "
Lu Wei : "....."
" Sigh ... only wives can handle the husbands .... ", Rong Xinghe chuckled .
"HAHAHAHA ", the singles in the room burst out laughing .
....
In the adjacent hospital room ,
The unconscious girl finally opened her eyes and sat up on the bed after some struggles .
Xi Yuan entered the room and sat beside the girl on the edge of the bed .
" I am sorry "
When Xi Ying heard such words from her elder brother"s mouth , she was slightly taken aback . But then she took a deep breath and patted the back of the man"s hand .
" Is sister-in-law alright ? "
" Hmm "
" Stop blaming yourself brother . Nothing happened to me . After all , I had your woman with me . ", Xi Ying felt her heart ache when she saw the guilty expression on the man"s face ," Brother ! Sister-in-law is more stronger than even you . She was so calm and collected in such a situation . She knew exactly what she was doing . "
Xi Yuan nodded ," She has walked out of her horrid past with her head held high . She has endured every pain and cried countless nights . But she smiles vibrantly the next day . Of course , she is stronger than me . "
"Brother ... I would have ignored this incident if it was just about me . But they intended to hurt the honour of sister-in-law . That is not a joke . She is going to be the head lady of Xi family . She is going to be the lady boss of Xi Corporations . She is your woman . You should avenge her . ", Xi Ying clenched her fists .
Xi Yuan looked speechlessly at his sister for some time .
It wasn"t just Xinghe .
Women , in general , were stronger than men . Maybe not physically , but emotionally and mentally .
Xi Ying had herself suffered quite a blow but her major concern was Rong Xinghe just like Rong Xinghe had prioritized her when they were in the shack .
" My darling ! "
Suddenly , Rong Xinghe rushed inside the room and pulled Xi Ying into a big bear hug .
A tear slipped Xi Ying"s eyes when she was taken into the familiar warm embrace .
" Xiao Xinghe ! "
" Are you fine ? ", Rong Xinghe asked with genuine concern .
" I am perfectly fit ... "
" No you are not ! You know what Ying , you are coming to the Military base from next weak . Whenever I will get time , I will personally train you in martial arts . A lady should be able to protect herself . We don"t need men for that . ", Rong Xinghe shook her head .
Xi Ying was convinced . It was true . Situations like these could come up anytime . She looked at Xi Yuan whose gaze was already fixed on his woman .
This man ...
Could he , for once , stop admiring his girl ?
" Don"t tell me that you need his permission ! ", Rong Xinghe pointed angrily at Xi Yuan .
Both Xi Yuan and Xi Ying came out of their daze and looked at the furious girl .
"No ! I will report to the Military base next Tuesday for sure . ", Xi Ying uttered the words reflexively .
" Good ! "
Rong Xinghe then turned around to look at her sister-in-laws ," Yan and Cy . You both are going to be there too . Its not like you or your husbands have no enemies."
" And ... me ? ", Ningtao pouted .
" After my niece or nephew is born . "
