Chapter 571: Chapter 572: No Place to Vent Anger Chapter 571: Chapter 572: No Place to Vent Anger âOpen it, but I can save up money to open a shop on my own. Also, Brother Kuang said he left the bonus with you, right? Iâll give you thirty-five hundred, and that will count as me having repaid your five thousand yuan. Iâll go get the money nowâŠâ
âYou sit down and stay put!â Meng Xinian barked sternly.
Chiang Xiao had never heard him yell at her so fiercely before.
She paused, her movement to rise freezing in place.
Meng Xinianâs grip on the armrest tightened as he glared at her with a somewhat ferocious look, âChiang Xiao, tell me honestly, what the hell is wrong with your brain?â
Your brain is the one with a problem! Chiang Xiao took a deep breath, trying to have a reasonable conversation with him.
âBrother Xinian, letâs be rational. Do you really think I could just take such a large sum of your money without any reason?â
âWhy not? Iâve said it before, I have no place to spend my money, my money is your money. If you need to use money, why canât you take it?â
He truly didnât understand.
Chiang Xiao sighed, âBut, what if you got a wife someday, and you were going to get married? She wouldnât be happy knowing you did this. Even if we explained to her clearly that our relationship is only one of name, just collaboration, just acting, she wouldnât listenâŠâ
Meng Xinian punched the armrest of the chair fiercely.
A snapping sound was heard.
The solid wood armrest broke off, broke off, broke off.
A sharp splinter from the broken wood pierced into the back of his hand, and blood gushed out instantly.
Chiang Xiao gasped, rushing over and grabbing his hand, âHave you lost your mind, Meng Xinian?!â
âI think I have too!â The rage and frustration Meng Xinian had been bottling up came surging out, but seeing Chiang Xiaoâs face, still showing signs of youth, he felt at a loss.
He didnât know what had come over him.
He didnât know what to do with her.
His mind was a tangled mess, never before had he felt so out of control and clueless about what to do.
âIâll go downstairs to get the first aid kit. You stay here and donât move, you hear me!â Chiang Xiao gritted her teeth and glared at him before running out like the wind.
Meng Xinian sat there without moving, his head bowed, his gaze vacant.
Soon after, Chiang Xiao ran back in like a whirlwind, holding a first aid kit.
The broken splinter was still embedded in the back of his hand, with blood flowing freely.
Meng Xinian sat there, dispirited and bewildered, motionless, almost as if he didnât feel the pain and let the blood continue to flow.
Looking at this scene, Chiang Xiaoâs heart seemed to take a hit and softened completely.
He must really be frantic, otherwise, why would he forget to control his strength and smash the armrest of the solid wood chair with one punch?
âHow do I pull this out?â
She crouched in front of him, holding his hand, clueless about what to do. With such a large splinter, she had no idea how to proceed.
Hearing her words, Meng Xinian came back to his senses, glanced at it, casually reached out, grabbed it, and pulled it out with a jerk.
The blood gushed out all at once.
Chiang Xiao almost screamed.
âDisinfect it, apply medicine, bandage it, thatâs it,â Meng Xinian said with a hoarse voice.
Chiang Xiaoâs hands trembled as she followed his instructions step by step. She had seen him treat Chu Liangâs wounds before, so she knew how to do it.
