Chapter 152 A Vicious Best Friend Is Worse Than Nothing
She never imagined that her past recklessness would lead her to this predicament, resulting in her reaping what she sowed.
The pain from her lower body was like sharp needles, constantly piercing her. Wave after wave of intense pain made her feel as if her body was being torn apart, and the pain could not be relieved for a long time.
Under the onslaught of excruciating pain, her consciousness fluctuated between clarity and confusion. For a fleeting moment, she thought her life was about to end, and that the cold scythe of death was already pressed against her throat.
She seemed to have slept for a very, very long time. When she woke up again, she never imagined she would still be alive.
She tried desperately to open her eyes and see what was around her, but her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and no matter how hard she tried, all she could see was darkness.
However, her hearing became unusually acute at that moment, and she heard her mother's voice.
The voice was filled with familiar concern and anxiety, yet it trembled and became hoarse from crying—a voice she had heard countless times since childhood.
When her mother nagged her in that voice, she felt utterly annoyed, as if the voice were an annoying buzzing fly.
Wang Xiaoying felt a surge of anger and wanted to yell at her mother to shut up, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and her lips couldn't be parted even a fraction.
Her heart was filled with helplessness and anger. In this silent struggle, she finally realized clearly her current situation.
In that ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, I could only suppress my inner irritation and patiently listen to my mother's incessant crying.
"I'm fed up! All she does all day is cry, cry, cry. Why doesn't she just die?!"
An unspeakable and uncontrollable rage burned fiercely in her heart.
However, Wang's mother was so absorbed in her own grief that she was completely unaware of Wang Xiaoying's feelings as she lay in bed.
In her eyes, all she saw was her daughter lying there lifeless, in a vegetative state.
The thought that her daughter was being discovered by a waiter while doing such a shameful thing, which led to the police calling and her being taken to the hospital, felt like her heart was being torn apart.
"Stop crying, what are you crying about? You're such a waste of money. You just slept with someone and you've turned yourself into a vegetable. You might as well go out and sell yourself; at least you could earn more money. And you even slept with three men. Tsk, you're quite lucky!"
Mr. Wang barged into the ward, reeking of alcohol. After speaking, he let out a loud burp and smacked his lips.
Upon hearing her father's voice, Wang Xiaoying's burning anger was suddenly extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water. Her body trembled slightly, and she dared not utter any more complaints in her mind.
Wang's mother's sobs subsided involuntarily. She hunched over in fear, looking timidly at Wang's father, muttering softly, "Yingying isn't that kind of person."
"Alright! What's the use of being a vegetable anyway? Go home now, or you'll lose your salary this month. Be careful, or I'll teach you a lesson."
Mr. Wang's face was full of impatience, his eyes revealing indifference and disgust. "Anyway, I won't acknowledge this daughter. She's completely useless. Don't give me any nonsense. If the police weren't here, I would have already dealt with her."
After saying that, he turned around and staggered away, leaving Wang's mother to weep silently in front of Wang Xiaoying again.
Meanwhile, Su Su was taken to the police station for questioning.
She sat calmly in the interrogation room, knowing full well that she hadn't stepped out of the school all day, except for answering a phone call.
Moreover, according to the three thugs' account, he must have been an innocent person who almost got hurt but luckily escaped.
When she heard the police mention Wang Xiaoying, a worried expression immediately appeared on her face, and she anxiously asked her best friend what had happened.
After learning the details of what happened, she was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
The veteran police officer in charge of the questioning had always felt that Su Su was somewhat suspicious, but Su Su's whereabouts were clear and without any flaws.
After some investigation and verification, Su Su was soon allowed to leave.
In a corner of the police station, a policewoman organizing files watched Su Su's departing figure and muttered to herself, "How could such a good girl have to run into a toxic best friend? If it weren't for her luck, she might have..."
"If Wang Xiaoying knew that her cancer diagnosis was a misdiagnosis and that she had harmed herself, would she regret it?"
Before her colleague could answer, she was interrupted by a stern shout from the older policeman: "What are you muttering about! Have you finished organizing the documents yet...?"
Upon hearing the shout, the policewoman trembled and dared not utter another word, leaving only a busy silence in the room once more.
The moment Su Su stepped out of the police station, her cell phone rang urgently in her pocket. It was her parents from this world calling.
As soon as the call connected, an anxious and concerned voice came from the other end, asking if she was alright and if she needed to take a few days off to go home and rest.
Finally, he sternly warned her not to visit Wang Xiaoying or interfere in Wang Xiaoying's affairs anymore.
In this small town, news spread like wildfire, and Wang Xiaoying's story was already widely known.
Wang's mother was penniless and had to borrow money from all over the place to pay for her daughter's medical treatment. However, Wang's father tried his best to stop her. He didn't want to borrow money for a worthless girl and have to pay it back. He thought it would be better to give her the money to drink. And when he was drunk, he couldn't control his mouth. He inadvertently spread rumors about Wang Xiaoying's so-called "romantic affairs" with three men in vivid and colorful detail.
As Su Su listened to her parents' instructions on the phone, tears streamed down her face. She tearfully agreed to their request and told them that Wang Xiaoying had originally asked her to go with them, but she hadn't gone.
Mr. and Mrs. Su were still shaken. They were glad they hadn't gone. If their daughter had gone, she might be lying lifeless in the hospital like Wang Xiaoying.
Despite this speculation, Mr. and Mrs. Su felt a sense of panic, as if it had already happened.
But they didn't tell Su Su how they felt.
When Su's father learned of the situation over the phone, he was furious and immediately said he would go to confront Wang's parents and question how they were raising their child.
Su Su hung up the phone after receiving a lot of care and advice from her parents.
On her way back to her dormitory from the police station, although she appeared depressed with a furrowed brow and heavy steps, she was secretly plotting something.
When they received the news of the original owner's death, Su's parents cried their hearts out.
But just as they finally managed to sort everything out and return home, before they could even emerge from the shadow of their grief, rumors began circulating in the town about the original owner's scandalous affairs.
Despite Mr. and Mrs. Su's repeated explanations that their daughter had been framed and that she was not that kind of person, no one believed them.
Especially the king's father and mother, who kept adding fuel to the fire.
The Queen Mother's seemingly innocent face always wore a hypocritical expression. She insisted that Wang Xiaoying had been framed, and that the original owner was that kind of person. It was just that the original owner had done too many bad things this time and had accidentally gotten herself involved. She even wanted to drag Wang Xiaoying down with her.
During a heated argument, Su's father died of anger.
After losing her husband and seeing her daughter so slandered, Su's mother was utterly devastated. She grabbed a knife from home and rushed to Wang's parents' house without thinking.
However, although Wang's father often drank, he was still quite strong, and Su's mother was no match for him.
In the chaos, the knife ended up stabbing Su's mother herself, while Wang's father and mother were unharmed.
Su Su was feeling down and asked for leave to go home.
People in the town gossiped about Su Su's return, especially behind her back, saying things like she was close to Wang Xiaoying, and that Wang Xiaoying was that kind of person, maybe...
Su Su rolled her eyes. She knew it was the right decision to come back; otherwise, her parents would have definitely defended her and been heartbroken for her.
At night, the gossipy people in the town had recurring nightmares. They started to suffer verbal abuse for talking nonsense about others, their breath would rot, and in severe cases, they would even become mute.
As for the king's father and mother.
Even though the Queen Mother knew best what was going on, she still came to Su Su to borrow money, saying that she and Wang Xiaoying were best friends.
Su Su chuckled. Before she could even retort to the Queen Mother, Su's mother, like a protective mother, shielded Su Su behind her, yelled at the Queen Mother, and dragged Su Su away.
Wang's father died of alcohol poisoning a few days later.
The mother was so heartbroken that she had no time to care about Wang Xiaoying.
In her dazed state, she forgot to turn off the gas and closed the windows tightly, and that's how Wang Xiaoying and her mother died.
"Go back to school and eat well. These past few days have been too strange. I don't know if there's an infectious disease in town, but many people have mouth problems. I'll come back when the people in town are feeling better."
Su Su nodded repeatedly as she dragged her suitcase, and just as she was about to turn around, her mother called her back.
"Wait, Susu. Here, just keep this in your bag when you need it."
As Su's mother put it in her bag, she whispered to Su Su, "It's been really strange lately. People with foul mouths are saying that it might be the ghost of Wang Xiaoying causing trouble. I specially asked for this, and I feel more at ease if you take it with you."
"Alright! Go back to school and study hard."
"Okay, bye-bye, Mom and Dad!"
