The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me - C.181: I’m Sorry, Meng Meng

Xiao Jinmeng was awakened by pain.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw through the haze that Gu Qi and Song Jiaxi were sitting on either side of the hospital bed, silently wiping away tears.

"Mom, mommy... it hurts, it hurts so much."

Xiao Jinmeng instinctively cried out in pain, her weak voice startling the two women, who immediately stood up.

"Mommy, I'm in so much pain, my whole body aches." Xiao Jinmeng couldn't hold back her tears, "Wah wah wah, I'm so scared..."

Recalling the ordeal she went through last night, Xiao Jinmeng was truly terrified, as she thought she was going to die at the hands of Jian Hongmei and Liu Lian.

Gu Qi wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Jinmeng's little face, but it was swollen and bruised, so she was afraid of hurting her. Instead, she gently wiped away Xiao Jinmeng's tears with her fingers, her heart aching as she said:

"It's okay, we're all here, don't be afraid. It's all over now."

Song Jiaxi tightly gripped Xiao Jinmeng's hand, her face full of self-blame as tears streamed down uncontrollably: "Baby, I'm so sorry. Your dad and I didn't do a good job of protecting you, and you had to suffer so much."

Xiao Jinmeng shook her head: "Don't cry, Mom. It's not your fault, it's all Jian Hongmei and the others' fault."

At that moment, Xiao Yongze and Shi Shuning came in from outside.

Both of them looked haggard, but as soon as they saw that Xiao Jinmeng was awake, their spirits lifted, and they hurried to her bedside to check on her.

"Meng Meng, how are you feeling? You gave me such a fright," Shi Shuning said, taking Xiao Jinmeng's hand, his voice full of concern.

Xiao Yongze also looked at Xiao Jinmeng anxiously, his eyes bloodshot.

"Dad, Brother Shuning, don't worry, I just feel a bit of pain, but everything else is fine."

After saying that, she became a little worried, "Dad, what happened to those two people?"

Xiao Yongze patted her head reassuringly, "Don't worry about them, they're in the hospital too, under police custody."

"Were they seriously injured? Will they die?"

Xiao Jinmeng didn't know how she had summoned such great strength to beat them up and knock them unconscious. It was only when she was running away that she started feeling afraid.

She was afraid that after she ran away, if those two were severely injured and didn't receive timely medical treatment, they might die. In that case, she would become a murderer.

This psychological fear had brought her back to her senses.

But at the time, it was too dark, and she didn't trust any strangers. She wanted to find a police station but wasn't familiar with the area, so she just kept running blindly.

It wasn't until she saw the fire department that she felt safe, and she immediately ran over to ask for help, asking the firefighters to call the police. In her heart, she kept praying that those two wouldn't die.

Under the dual pressure of physical and psychological stress, she held on to her consciousness until she saw the blurred figures of her dad and Brother Shuning, and only then did she let go and pass out.

Shi Shuning knew what Xiao Jinmeng was afraid of, so he explained: "Don't worry, the doctors have examined them, and they only have some minor external injuries. Their bodies are fine."

"I just went to consult with your uncle, and what you did counts as self-defense, so you're in the clear."

Only then did Xiao Jinmeng feel relieved.

"I was really terrified, I was so afraid they would die, and my self-defense would turn into excessive force."

But Shi Shuning suddenly laughed, "You know, the doctors who examined those two even said that the way you hit them showed some technique. It looked severe and painful, but in reality, their injuries were trivial. That's why they could be knocked unconscious without any serious harm."

Xiao Jinmeng seemed a little dazed, "Really? I'm that good at fighting?"

Xiao Yongze chimed in, "Indeed, you were just like your mom. When we saw the footage of you beating them up, you had truly transformed into a raging little loli."

Song Jiaxi couldn't help but glare at Xiao Yongze, leaving him no room for nonsense.

Xiao Jinmeng blushed in embarrassment, although her face was still slightly swollen, her shyness was evident.

Seeing that Xiao Jinmeng was in good spirits, Gu Qi couldn't help but laugh as well, "Since you put it that way, I want to see that footage too, it's a pity the police took it."

"I don't know how I managed to unleash so much energy either. Maybe it was the instinct for survival, I just knew I couldn't die. At the time, I had lost all rationality, I can't even remember how I hit them. Now, aside from the pain where I was hit, my arms and legs also feel sore and uncomfortable."

Song Jiaxi comforted her, "Enough, baby, don't think about it anymore. It's all over now, and mommy will never let anyone hurt you again."

Shi Shuning nodded in agreement and gently kissed the back of Xiao Jinmeng's hand, his heart aching, "I'm sorry, Meng Meng. I had vowed before that I wouldn't let you get hurt again, but I still failed to protect you, and you got into trouble right under my nose.

I'm useless. From now on, I'll stick by your side, wherever you go, I'll go. If that's not enough, I'll find a rope and tie us together!"

Shi Shuning felt like the most useless boyfriend ever. Every time, he failed to protect his girlfriend. Ever since they started dating, Meng Meng kept getting into trouble, and he started to wonder if he had some kind of jinx, passing his bad luck onto Meng Meng.

Xiao Jinmeng held his hand tightly in return, "Don't say that, Brother Shuning. It's not your fault. We couldn't have guessed the intentions of those bad people. They were well-prepared, and even if we were surrounded by bodyguards, if they wanted to get rid of us, they would find a way." f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

As she spoke, she suddenly started crying again.

Her outburst startled everyone in the room once more.

"What's wrong, Meng Meng? Are you in pain somewhere? Let me call the doctor!" Song Jiaxi said, about to head out.

Xiao Jinmeng shook her head, "No, it's just... I'm not pure anymore... Wah wah wah, I'm dirty, what should I do!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qi and Song Jiaxi, who were unaware of the situation, were shocked. What was going on? Could it be that Meng Meng was...?

Song Jiaxi grabbed Xiao Yongze's collar and shouted, "Xiao Yongze! What's going on? Did Meng Meng get..."

Ever since Meng Meng was rescued last night, Song Jiaxi had been worried about her physical well-being, but she hadn't asked about the details of the rescue. Hearing Meng Meng say this now, she couldn't help but feel anxious, her eyes reddening once more.

Xiao Yongze, seeing his daughter-in-law about to cry again, quickly explained, "No, Meng Meng is safe."

But his words did little to reassure Gu Qi and Song Jiaxi. Song Jiaxi pressed on, "Then why is Meng Meng saying these things?"

Xiao Yongze had no choice but to lower his voice and explain that Liu Lian had tried to assault her.

"Because Liu Lian took off all his clothes, he polluted Xiao Jinmeng's eyes, so Xiao Jinmeng said that her eyes became dirty."

Song Jiaxi and Gu Qi finally felt relieved, as long as she wasn't violated, everything would be fine. Now they just needed to guide her properly, so that she wouldn't have any psychological trauma.

Song Jiaxi released Xiao Yongze's collar, walked over to Xiao Jinmeng, and wiped away her tears tenderly, saying, "Baby, don't cry, it's okay, you're not dirty, it's the bad person's heart that is dirty. You're still the same pure, innocent little girl."
