Demon Girl Episode 6 Recap
> Demon Girl Recap
Reports about Professor Jiang's delusional disorder spread like wildfire, and everyone avoided Jiang Bonian. Jiren Hospital, usually bustling with people, became deserted. When Jiang Xuewu found her father, he was heavily drunk, telling everyone on the street that he did not have delusional disorder. Jiang Bonian wanted to tell everyone that there truly were demons in the world, but no one was willing to believe him.
Overwhelmed by despair, Jiang Bonian, next to a traditional street stove boiling water, picked up a bucket of kerosene and poured it all over himself. Jiang Xuewu watched helplessly as her father struggled in the flames, shouting heartbreakingly, "There are demons in the world." Jiang Bonian's voice grew weaker and weaker, until all that remained was a pile of charred bones. Jiang Bonian wanted to use his death to prove his innocence, but even his daughter could not accept it.
Jiang Xuewu did not disbelieve her father, but she was constrained by circumstances. With the bank demanding repayment and clients leaving, she had to bow to reality to save Jiren Hospital, which was the fruit of her father's lifelong hard work. Immediately after the funeral, Jiang Xuewu held a press conference at the hospital. She publicly admitted that her father had delusional disorder and offered discounts to patients her father had previously treated.
To prove her medical skills, she offered free consultations to those who couldn't afford medical care. The first patient had an abscess on the back of his hand. Jiang Xuewu, in front of reporters, skillfully cut away the rotten flesh, and the patient felt no pain at all. With such superb medical skills, coupled with media reports, people flocked to Jiren Hospital in an endless stream, and it restored its former glory.
But Jiang Xuewu was not happy, as that patient was actually just an actor. Having to rely on deception to restore her reputation, the self-righteous Jiang Xuewu couldn't forgive herself and could only drown her sorrows in alcohol. She drank until midnight before stumbling out of the hotel. A few local thugs loitering on the street saw Jiang Xuewu alone and unsteady on her feet, thinking they could take advantage of the situation. Coincidentally, Ming Xia passed by and intervened.
These thugs were blind and didn't recognize Chief Ming, who was dressed in plain clothes. Ming Xia showed no mercy, knocking them down with a few punches and kicks. Jiang Xuewu also didn't show weakness; she had practiced Taekwondo since childhood, so beating two small thugs was no trouble at all. After dealing with the thugs, the two introduced themselves and realized they were family friends for generations.
Ming Xia's mother and Jiang Xuewu's father were old classmates, so the two no longer treated each other as strangers. Jiang Xuewu had too much bitterness in her heart and was looking for someone to confide in. After expressing all the humiliation and pain in her heart, Jiang Xuewu felt much lighter. Ming Xia's gentle comfort beside her made her confidence stronger. To support Jiang Xuewu, Ming Xia specially brought his colleagues from the constabulary to the hospital for check-ups.
Police officers often got bumps and bruises in their daily work, and having this big client was a timely help for the hospital. The always proud and aloof Jiang Xuewu found her heart entwined with Ming Xia. But her love was unrequited. Ming Xia didn't feel Jiang Xuewu's affection; his heart was only for Nie Qingcheng. Nie Qingcheng was still continuing her rigorous training, following Fang Yaqing around as an attendant every day.
That day, Fang Yaqing bought several more clothes at her frequently visited mall. When checking out, she took a fancy to a new style of hat and accessories near the counter and wanted the store to give it to her for free. However, the sales clerk absolutely refused, attracting nearby customers to stop and watch.
Fang Yaqing, fearing criticism, insisted that the store had said buying clothes came with a free hat, and asked Nie Qingcheng, who was beside her, to testify. Nie Qingcheng was clueless and didn't grasp her future mother-in-law's intention at all. Just as Fang Yaqing was in an awkward situation, Jiang Xuewu stepped out from the crowd and secretly handed money to the sales clerk.
Other customers, seeing the sales clerk leave without a word after receiving no money, thought the sales clerk had made a mistake, so they dispersed and continued shopping. Because of this incident, Fang Yaqing disliked Nie Qingcheng even more, but saw Jiang Xuewu in a new light. Fang Yaqing had also been unlucky these past two days; she almost lost face at the mall, and at home, she lost every hand playing mahjong.
She felt annoyed even hearing her son play slow piano pieces. But when Jiang Xuewu came to visit her, it was different. Jiang Xuewu was clever and understood people's thoughts, so she played a lively "Ode to Joy" together with Ming Xia. Fang Yaqing was in a great mood and contemplated marrying her son to Jiang Xuewu. You Tong was preparing to hibernate in a secret room deep in the mountains.
He had done so every year since he awakened at the age of ten, never interrupting it, but this time he encountered an obstacle. As You Tong finished his cultivation and calmed his internal energy, the ruddiness on his face gradually faded, and snow-white ice crystals slowly formed. But his mind was not peaceful, thinking of every memory of Nie Qingcheng. As his internal energy became disordered, You Tong's face began to flush red, and he couldn't enter hibernation.
He couldn't control his longing for Nie Qingcheng, but he didn't want to disturb Nie Qingcheng and Ming Xia. Caught in a dilemma, You Tong didn't know what to do. He ran to the riverside and shouted, wishing for heaven and earth to give him an answer. The words of an old boatman by the shore enlightened him. The old boatman had worked on the river ferry for decades and was reluctant to part when he left.
He came to the riverside every day to watch the ferry; as long as he saw the ferry safe and sound, he was content. You Tong realized another way of love. He would silently guard Nie Qingcheng, and whenever she needed help, he would lend a helping hand and then quietly leave. He didn't seek Nie Qingcheng's gratitude; as long as he could see her happy and joyful from afar, he was satisfied.
Fang Yaqing had been looking for an opportunity to maliciously harm Nie Qingcheng, and today she finally found one. Ming Xia worked through the night in his study to organize the headless murder case of Nan Bantian, only returning to his room to rest at dawn. Fang Yaqing knew her son's rules that he wouldn't touch things in the study, but Nie Qingcheng didn't. Fang Yaqing deliberately arranged for Nie Qingcheng to clean the room, starting with the study.
Nie Qingcheng diligently organized the books and documents. A pile of papers on the desk that looked like random scribbles was also burned by her as waste paper. When Ming Xia returned to the study and threw a fit, Nie Qingcheng realized she had been tricked. Fang Yaqing deliberately scolded her loudly in front of her son, and Nie Qingcheng dared not talk back, so she could only endure it.
Ming Xia hastily excused Nie Qingcheng, reasoning that she couldn't be blamed for what she didn't know. But the documents he had organized all night were destroyed in flames, so Ming Xia had to redo them. At this moment, Jiang Xuewu hurried over. She was knowledgeable and had medical expertise, so she could lend Ming Xia a hand. Watching her son and Jiang Xuewu busy in the study, Fang Yaqing gloated inwardly. She wanted Nie Qingcheng to feel inferior and ashamed, and thus voluntarily leave Ming Xia.
