Fumiko Jiujing was lying on a hospital bed with a bandage on her face, living a day and night life. Ichizawa Yongliang has not shown up since the accident.Although I have contacted many times here, and he only said that he would go in two days, he never came.It's just that Wenzi heard from his parents that he provided the cost of living in a special ward, and this is his only sincerity. Of course, it is a bit inappropriate to describe this as his sincerity, and it can also be considered that he used the money to buy leisure from all troubles.Even if Fumiko's father called, he couldn't find Ishizawa himself.The reason is naturally because of being too busy.In fact, he has a lot of contacts, and he does run outside all day long.If I can't get in touch, maybe I can feel more at ease for the current Shize. —— Wenzi thought so.

Wenzi already understood what Ichizawa meant.You must clearly realize that if your face is ruined by acid, your relationship with him will come to an end. Wenzi kept asking doctors and nurses about the condition of her face, and the answer she got was always, it's not a big deal. "Recently, plastic surgery technology has become more and more advanced, which is quite different from the past. Not only can there be no scars after surgery, but also other parts can be plasticized by the way, and it may be more beautiful than before." The doctor comforted her like this. The doctor changed her medicine every day.Most of the medicines applied are oily.When it was applied to the face and eye sockets, there was a chilly touch, Wenzi felt as if she was pointing out her ugly parts in public.Doctors said only that the wound was long, but details remained elusive.

Wenzi even resented the fact that her parents came to visit every day.However, her parents depended on her to live.She couldn't help but think that their daily visits might not be out of their parents' love, but out of fear of losing their source of livelihood. She didn't read all the newspapers every day, so she felt uneasy.She has been worried that the sulfuric acid incident will be publicized and reported in the newspapers.She thought that other people's negations were just comforting herself, and she refused to believe them, so she checked them one by one every day.However, there has never been a report on the matter in the newspapers.

This may be the result of Ishizawa Yongliang's use of his various connections to the newspaper's activities.If the police intervene in this incident, the murderer Nagamura Heitaro will be investigated, and the relationship between Fumiko and Ichizawa will be revealed from his mouth.It seems that Shi Ze did this not so much for Wenzi, but for himself. Hiding the matter of Nagamura Heitaro is undoubtedly saving himself. It may be more beneficial for him if his relationship with Ichizawa is made public.Since she was injured, her mood has changed like this.Now I can only rely on Ichizawa, and what is difficult to deal with is the relationship with Heitaro.

If people know that she was under the protection of Heitaro and received all living expenses before she became famous in the world of ink painting, then she is undoubtedly Heitaro's concubine.Even if this is not the case, those guys who are usually jealous of her will use the inside story exposed by this incident to kill her in one fell swoop. For Wenzi, this is really worse than death. The first thing she thought of was her opponent Takimura Kazuko.The moment Heitaro sprinkled the sulfuric acid on her face, the shadow of Kotoshiko flashed in front of her eyes. Even if it does not appear in the newspapers, this matter will soon be publicized in the world of ink painting.At this point, the world of ink painting is a field where rumors spread quickly.

"Is there anyone related to the ink painting circle, go to the house to inquire about the news?" Although she asked her parents, they all denied it. The reason for her hospitalization was a different name.The hospital was very considerate of her request, and answered the same way to the outside world.However, she absolutely does not allow anyone who visits to enter the ward, and others will notice that there must be something strange in it.No, it's not possible for all nurses to keep their secrets to themselves, and people probably already know the truth. Since this matter was not handled as a case, the murderer Nagamura Heitaro was released by the police.In this case, Wenzi listened to his father.

Wenzi thought that Heitaro Nagamura must have visited, but his parents kept it secret.They never said anything about Heitaro coming. She thought, Heitaro didn't know how regretful he would be.To be honest, this atrocity happened because he suspected that she had something to do with Shi Ze, and he was jealous, but he still loved himself in his heart. Thinking of this, she had a question.The fee for this ward was said by the parents to be provided by Ichizawa, but in fact it was probably paid by Heitaro.The parents did this probably because they thought that they would be angry if they told the truth, so they used Ichizawa's name in order to comfort themselves!It really kills two birds with one stone.

In this regard, Wenzi asked his parents stubbornly, but they said: "Because Mr. Ichisawa gave a considerable amount of money, why ask Heitaro for it. Besides, he will not pay the money now." They avoid the question with such an answer. However, Wenzi lying on the bed seemed to see everything around him. She feels that her artistic life as a modern ink painter has come to an end.Originally, my art was recognized by society only by virtue of its beauty and talent.That said, beauty is the backbone of one's own art.When the name of "Fumiko Jiujing" appears in newspapers, readers often see superimposed pictures of their own beauty on the typeface.Now that beauty is ruined, she will be the first to be abandoned by the press.

From now on, her opponents will not have to try to hold her back.Until then, the press will be the first to forget about her.Now, the antipathy towards her in the world of ink painting has spread in part to the press.This incident increased the factor of their abandonment of her.When everything was going well, she triumphantly overcome all difficulties.Now, once in adversity, many traps that were invisible in the past suddenly appeared in front of her. She thought that it would be nice if Shi Zeyongliang was by her side at this moment.As long as he is here, relying on his strength, my artistic life can continue.At that time, perhaps the press would report her injury in a sympathetic tone, not only to conceal the truth, but also to make up some beautiful stories.It is perfectly possible for modern journalism to allow such myths to come to life.

Fumiko Jiujing was lying on the bed, wanting to look in the mirror more than once. During the treatment, whenever she untied the bandage to remove the oil paper, she took the trouble to make this request to the doctors and nurses. "Even if you look at it now, your appearance is not the same, so you'd better wait and see it later." The doctor advised her like this, but she couldn't listen.She was disturbed by the prospect of keloid scars on her face. Seeing her like this, the doctors always coaxed and comforted her.Because she was afraid that she would secretly take off the bandage and look in the mirror when she was alone in the room, no mirrors were placed in the ward, and her handbag was taken away by the doctor.

At the beginning, her parents took turns to stay in bed. As her hospitalization time prolongs, she hires a bed wife to replace her. The living expenses are paid from the money she saved in the past. Although I don't know how, but it seems that the cost of hospitalization is paid by others.Parents said that it was money from Shi Zeyong, but she gradually became suspicious. When she is in a good mood, she draws with her fingers on the quilt.Now only the eyes stick out through the slits in the bandages.When I think of the future, tears can't help but flow out. One day my mother came and said to her: "There is something I want to discuss with you." The mother seemed to be afraid of causing her daughter's displeasure, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Changcun next door said he must let him see you once." "Don't agree." She raised her voice and said, "Mom, you are so serious, why did you spread his words! This guy is not human... He made me like this, and he still has the face to say he wants to see me! Because this man , I ruined not only my face, but also my art." Seeing her aggressive look, the mother didn't continue, and after a while she mustered up her courage and said: "However, Nagamura-kun also regrets this matter very much, and said that he would apologize to you, even once. He came to our house again and again, and when he came, he lowered his head on the tatami and begged repeatedly. It's so pitiful. of." "Mom pities him, it's mother's freedom, but I hate him!" "I completely understand how you feel. However, no matter what, we have always been supported by Nagamura-kun in the past. As me, it is not easy to refuse outright." "Are you talking about money again, that man?" "That's not..." "Understood. As soon as that person opened his mouth, he paid the money and put on the air of a benefactor. Beast. How long do you want to torture me. Please, don't mention this matter again. If that person asks us to pay him back For the money given in the past, you take out my deposit and throw it at him!" However, in Wenzi's mind, he imagined the scene of Nagamura Heitaro bowing his head in front of his parents and walking around the hospital alone in the middle of the night. "How hateful!" she said. "Auntie, you must lock the door at night. No matter who knocks, don't open it." She issued strict orders to the bedside woman. One night, when the bed companion left the room carelessly, Fumiko Jiujing swallowed a bottle of hypnotics.There are at least one hundred and twenty or thirty pieces. When the bed wife came back, she found that the bandage on Wenzi's face was loose.This means that she has untied it herself. "Miss, did you take a picture of your face?" The bedside woman knew that there was no mirror in the room, so she assumed that Fumiko checked her face through the shadow reflected on the glass.Wenzi remained silent and pulled the quilt over his nose. She started to feel sleepy.The bed companion did not realize at first that it was the effect of the hypnotics.After taking the medicine, Wenzi stuffed the empty bottle and paper bag under the bed.After a while, she moaned while sleeping, her face was pale, and cold sweat oozes from her forehead.Then, the groaning became louder.The woman who accompanied the bed was taken aback, and immediately tweeted Wenzi, but Wenzi was already unconscious.A big commotion ensued. The doctor and nurse on duty arrived immediately and began gastric lavage immediately.There were groans and gasps of difficulty, mixed with gagging.Under the rescue of medical staff, she was finally saved. Her parents also rushed over immediately after getting the news.The mother threw herself on her still sleeping daughter and wept bitterly.The former lieutenant general stood stiffly beside the bed, looking down at his daughter's sleeping face for a long time, his clenched hands trembling constantly.This pair of incompetent parents used Nagamura Heitaro's money, so there was nothing they could do.To whom do you vent your anger?The tall Lieutenant General Yuan pouted his lower lip, endured the pain, and felt deeply guilty for his uselessness and inability to live. Nagamura Heitaro also received the notice and came to the ward. He was wearing a jacket when he came, and as soon as he saw Wenzi's bandaged face, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, put it on his forehead, and burst into tears.His whining sound was like the wail of an animal. Fumiko who was sleeping was awakened by the crying, she opened her eyes slightly and recognized Heitaro. She suddenly went wild like a wild animal.
