After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

After entering the hospital, Qing Sisi was taken to the operating table for gastric lavage and to remove excess toxins from her body.

After being admitted to the hospital, Qing Sisi's family was notified at 5:30 in the morning that the girl was out of danger.

Bai Yu didn't sleep a wink that night; he wasn't sleepy at all.

The main reason was his concern for Qing Sisi's emotional state. In her previous life, this girl committed suicide, and what he did was no different from what he did in his previous life. Perhaps the biggest difference was that he set a trap for this girl and reminded Qing Siling to take Qing Sisi's feelings into consideration.

Of course, Bai Yu was gambling a lot, but he also made sure Qing Siling kept a close eye on Qing Sisi. If he didn't know that Qing Siling was the person in the entire Qing family who cared about Qing Sisi the most, Bai Yu wouldn't have dared to gamble like this.

But Bai Yu, who was sitting on the sofa in the morning with her phone in her hand and her head feeling a little dizzy, was waiting for dawn.

Although he was gambling, he didn't dare to delay responding to Qing Sisi for a few days, because if he responded too late, no one could stop someone who was determined to die.

Waaaaah~

The phone vibrated, and Bai Yu subconsciously picked it up and looked at the screen. The caller ID showed Qing Siling.

Before he could even speak when he answered the phone, Qing Siling's cursing came from the other end.

"Bai Yu, Sisi is in the hospital. If you hadn't ignored her, if you hadn't insisted on holding onto this misunderstanding, if you hadn't... Sisi wouldn't have ended up in the hospital, and she wouldn't have taken sleeping pills. You..."

Which hospital?

Bai Yu's voice sounded somewhat haggard and blank, mainly because the most serious consequences had come; he had gambled too much.

"I don't need you to come. From now on, don't interfere in Sisi's affairs. If possible, I would prefer you to leave Beicheng and cut off all contact with Sisi from now on. Hmph, because you are not worthy of being liked by Sisi at all."

"No, you have to tell me where the hospital is, I have to go there too."

Upon hearing this, Qing Siling was already furious. Then, looking at Qing Sisi lying on the hospital bed, he felt wronged and resentful for his poor sister.

She was outwardly favored at home but ostracized in private. She fell in love with a boy, but he almost caused her to leave this world. Why should she bear all the pain alone? Put yourself in her shoes. If Qing Siling had been treated like this since childhood, depression would be a mild form of mental illness.

"You better not force me to lay a hand on you. If you come to Beicheng Military Hospital, not only will it be me, but my dad will kill you."

After saying that, Qing Siling hung up the phone with Bai Yu.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Bai Yu felt no fear. To him, his own death was insignificant, even less important than Sisi's.

After putting her phone away, Bai Yu went to the bathroom, washed her face, put on her shoes, and went out.

The moment he stepped out of the room, Si Yu came out.

Bai Yu didn't sleep all night, and neither did she.

Bai Yu was burdened with worries. Although he didn't reveal his low spirits to her at all, the more he acted this way, the more distressed Si Yu felt.

Compared to the mature and steady Bai Yu, Si Yu sometimes prefers to rely on her younger brother a little more, instead of shouldering everything herself. She prefers to pamper him and share everything with him.

The moment Bai Yu stepped out of the house, she went downstairs to the gate of the community and took a taxi to Beicheng Military Hospital. This is the closest Grade III Class A hospital to Qingsisi Villa Area, and it is also one of the top hospitals in Beicheng.

It was already seven in the morning when he arrived at the hospital entrance. The main reason was that Bai Yu had gone to another hospital to register and buy a bottle of sleeping pills on the way, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long.

However, Bai Yu's arrival was not welcomed, because Qing Siling was already waiting for him at the hospital entrance.

Standing at the bottom of the hospital steps, looking up at Qing Siling standing on the steps, Bai Yu didn't say anything and walked straight towards him.

He raised his hand and punched Bai Yu in the face, and then Qing Siling, without saying a word, grabbed him and started punching him hard.

"May I go see her again?"

Bai Yu never fought back; she just kept saying that she wanted to see Qing Sisi again.

"I'll never let you see Sisi again. I really want to beat you to death."

While hitting Qing Siling, he also cursed her, showing that he did not want to give Bai Yu any chance to see Qing Siling.

Lying on the ground, Bai Yu offered no resistance. Precisely because she offered no resistance, Qing Siling stopped after throwing a few punches.

Grabbing his collar, Qing Siling's eyes were filled with rage, but when his angry gaze met Bai Yu's, his eyes were filled with guilt and fearless courage.

She flung Bai Yu aside and turned to enter the hospital.

He got up, and although Qing Siling didn't say she would take him, his act of turning around and going inside indicated that he tacitly agreed that Bai Yu could follow.

Slowly following Qing Siling to the fifth floor of the hospital, in a private ward, Qing Sisi was lying inside. Although she had woken up, the girl was pale and stared blankly at the ceiling, as numb as a walking corpse.

Bai Yu had just arrived at the ward door when Qing Yu saw him and immediately kicked him.

With a muffled thud, Bai Yu was kicked from the ward door and slammed against the corridor wall by Qing Yu, a tall and burly man.

Bai Yu didn't utter a single complaint after being kicked; she simply clutched her chest, curled up on the ground, and tried to ease the pain of being unable to get up.

"Damn it, you still dare to come here? You've ruined my daughter like this, how dare you show your face?"

With difficulty, Bai Yu stood up and looked at Qing Yu's tall, imposing figure with a large tattoo on his arm, a fierce appearance. Suddenly, Bai Yu revealed an extremely mocking smile.

"You should ask yourself, not me."

Chapter 158 A Mental Breakdown

Bai Yu's mocking smile was like adding fuel to the fire of Qing Yu's anger. For someone who had spent his youth in the underworld, this was nothing short of suicidal.

But Bai Yu isn't afraid of death at all. Besides, this is a hospital, so he can lie down immediately after being hit. What's there to be afraid of? Moreover, what he said is indeed the truth, and he is seeking justice for Qing Sisi.

Qing Siling and Qing Ma, who were standing to the side, were both frightened by Bai Yu's audacity.

Even at home, they wouldn't dare to speak ill of his parents in front of Qingyu, after all, his filial piety was truly excessive.

He raised his hand and slapped Bai Yu across the face, but this time Bai Yu did not let him hit her face. Instead, she dodged to the side.

After missing a slap, Qingyu's anger did not subside in the slightest; on the contrary, Baiyu's antics only made her angrier.

"Bai Yu, is it? Even if you are young, arrogant, or impetuous, you need to take responsibility for the words you say."

Staring fiercely at Bai Yu, Qing Yu was already more than half a head taller than Bai Yu, and with her fierce appearance, most people would definitely be intimidated.

But Bai Yu showed no sign of backing down, and instead continued to mock him.

“Sisi won’t say it, Qingsiling doesn’t dare to say it, none of your family dares to say it, but I dare, and I have to say it.”

As she finished speaking, Bai Yu pointed at Qing Sisi, who was looking at her from inside the ward, and raised her voice even higher.

“Sisi has never received the care she deserves in this family. Even I, an outsider, know her better than you do. Of course, we can't entirely blame Qing Siling and Auntie for this. The biggest reason is your family's preference for sons over daughters, isn't it? As a father, how could you not understand this? Or do you prefer to turn a blind eye? After all these years, and being the eldest brother for so many years, is this all you've got?”

Bai Yu's words were incredibly insightful; they revealed everything that this family dared to say and dared not say.

It's ridiculous that Qingyu, a gangster who's a big shot in the underworld, still needs to listen to his parents' prejudices. Even a mama's boy wouldn't act like this.

Clenching her fists, Qingyu wished she could kill Baiyu right now and throw him into the lake outside the North City to feed the fish.

But he's been able to be the big brother for so many years, and now he's the chairman of several listed companies. If he really doesn't understand these things, then he's just joking.

However, some people are like that. They understand, but they are unwilling to change. They even think that as long as their parents don't do anything outrageous to Qing Sisi, they can pretend they don't see it. After all, parents are old and it's okay for them to have a bad temper. Just like how they were spoiled by their parents when they were young, they should spoil their parents now. Their daughter should give in to the elderly.

This is Qingyu's way of thinking now. To put it bluntly, he has never considered things from Qing Sisi's perspective.

Qingyu reached out and tugged at her black shirt. She was still glaring at Baiyu, but she didn't try to fight back as before. Instead, she started to calm down.

Of course, this wasn't because Qingyu wanted to bypass Baiyu, but rather because she intended to ensure that Baiyu would never be able to recover for the rest of her life.

People involved in organized crime either don't do it at all, or they go all the way. Now, Bai Yu has completely angered Qing Yu. After the start of the new semester, Bai Yu might receive a fabricated expulsion from Beicheng University.

"What you're saying is meaningless. What do you really know about Sisi? You can say you know nothing, let alone our family's affairs. Young man, you should mind your own business and not be too arrogant. Don't think you're so great, understand?"

After saying that, Qingyu turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor, intending to return to the company.

Now that Qing Sisi is out of danger, there is no need for me to accompany her anymore.

As for Bai Yu's situation here, all he needs to do is tell Beicheng University that he can forget about ever staying in Beicheng again.

Standing there watching Qingyu not move again, but instead turn and leave, how could Bai Yu not know the consequences of going against such a person?

However, he was not afraid. As long as no one killed him, no one could bring him down. No one could.

Turning her head to look at Qing Ma and Qing Siling standing at the door of the ward, Bai Yu's face showed no extra expression, and she said in a very guilty voice.

"Auntie, Qingsiling, Sisi is calling me from inside. Can I...go in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yu's gaze met Qing Sisi's weary eyes through the glass of the room door.

The girl's pale lips were moving slightly; judging from her lip movements, she was calling his name the whole time.

Qing Ma didn't say anything, but Qing Siling looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying something with a helpless expression.

“Sisi has never mentioned her grievances to us. I suppose you know that our grandparents favored boys over girls, right? We have talked to the two elders and even about my father's problems, but no one has ever dared to openly criticize them like you have. When I go back... I will do my best to speak up for you.”

Bai Yu took a deep look at Qing Siling and could sense that Qing Siling's resentment towards her was not as strong as before.

This is indeed Bai Yu's outspokenness. After all, even though Qing Siling was highly valued and loved by the two elders, she never dared to speak like this.

"Thank you."

She smiled and nodded at them, and then Bai Yu saw that Qing Ma and Qing Si Ling had already made room for her at the door.

They weren't irrational people, especially Qing's mother. Only she knew that a little misunderstanding wasn't the reason Qing Sisi chose to commit suicide, because the biggest reason, from beginning to end, stemmed from this family that lacked love and equality.

Stepping forward, Bai Yu gently pushed open the ward door, and the door closed automatically after she went inside.

Feeling the moderate coolness in the ward, his gaze immediately fell on Qing Sisi on the hospital bed.

"Senior... Sisi won't do it again..."

The weak voice was no longer sweet, and even sounded a bit dry, but it was full of grievances.

But this outcome was caused by Bai Yu, and the matter doesn't end there.

"I don't blame you. It was my fault. I almost... It's okay. I can bear whatever pain you've suffered."

With her back to the door, Bai Yu took out a small bottle of sleeping pills from her pocket, opened the cap, picked up the water glass next to her, and gulped it down.

Bai Yu knew he wouldn't die; he just wanted to atone for his mistakes, which was also a sign of his mental breakdown.

Chapter 159 Cut off

Seeing Bai Yu take sleeping pills, Qing Sisi never imagined that Bai Yu would do such a thing, and she couldn't even believe what she was seeing.

For her, Bai Yu was her pillar of support, but now her pillar of support was imitating her extreme behavior.

"Senior..."

With a weak cry, Qing Sisi tried to get up to help Bai Yu, but Bai Yu smiled and put her index finger to her lips in a shushing gesture. She looked extremely relaxed and showed no fear of death whatsoever.

"Keep your voice down, it's no big deal. If you can eat these things, then of course I can too, right?"

Although she was smiling, Qing Sisi could sense Bai Yu's reproach towards her.

Of course, Bai Yu knew what his actions meant for Qing Sisi, but he wanted to give the girl a reminder, to remind her to think about the consequences of doing things that hurt her. Perhaps her departure also foreshadowed his departure.
