Chapter 140 Pregnant
Upon hearing Jiang Yinglan's words, the group of people who had walked out turned back.
Their gazes all fell on Mu Xiaowan's face; the red handprint was shocking, showing how ruthless the blow had been.
"Xiao Wan, who did this?" Old Master Chu's voice rose.
"Mom, Grandpa, I'm alright!"
"How come you're alright? Your face is all swollen. Who hit you out of the blue? Tell Grandpa. Grandpa will stand up for you."
Mu Xiaowan shook her head again.
"Is it your second aunt or your second uncle? Grandpa is here today. If you have something to say, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will get justice for you."
"Never mind, Xiao Ye, you tell us."
Ye Jincheng had wanted to say this for a long time, and now that he had received the old man's order, he quickly said, "I guess Grandma Chu is worried about Chu Shaoting and is a little anxious."
"On the other hand, this matter is not Xiao Mu's fault. She is innocent. She didn't know anything. Someone wanted to harm her, not the other way around."
"That old woman, she'll cause trouble as long as you don't follow her," Old Master Chu said angrily.
"Xiao Wan, don't worry. I'll talk to your grandma when I have some free time."
In the afternoon, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell on every corner of the city. What should have been a peaceful moment was instead shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and panic.
"It's all your fault, you jinx!" The old lady grew more and more anxious as she waited. When she saw Mu Xiaowan, she couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at the top of her lungs, her emotions almost out of control. "If it weren't for you, how could Shaoting have become like this!" Before she finished speaking, she was about to hit him again, but the old man stopped her.
"stop!"
"You're not young anymore, what kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling in the hospital? Besides, how can you blame Xiaowan?"
Jiang Yinglan pulled Mu Xiaowan behind her and said, "Mom, please be quiet and don't disturb the doctor."
She gave Chu Huaizhi a push, "Go ask the doctor how he is?"
Mu Xiaowan's cheeks were frighteningly red and swollen. She stood quietly behind Jiang Yinglan.
"My poor Shaoting, she has been pampered since she was a child, she has never suffered like this before. If someone hadn't forced her, how could she have ended up like this?" Bai Jiao'e cried.
“She’s not even part of our family. How could anyone be so wicked as to harm their own sister?”
The old lady pointed at Mu Xiaowan, so angry that she wanted to go over and slap him a few more times, as if she wanted to vent all her pain and anger on Mu Xiaowan.
Mu Xiaowan lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved, her eyes brimming with tears, but she stubbornly held them back.
She didn't argue at all, and her obedient appearance was heartbreaking to see.
Just then, Old Master Chu looked at the chaotic scene before him, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Enough!" Old Master Chu roared, his voice echoing in the empty corridor, as powerful and awe-inspiring as a bell.
The old woman was startled by the shout, her movements froze on the spot, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
Bai Jiao'e's crying also stopped.
Grandpa Chu walked to Mu Xiaowan's side and saw her swollen cheeks. His eyes were full of heartache and guilt. "Child, I'm sorry you had to suffer." Grandpa Chu's voice was deep and gentle, completely different from his angry shout just now.
Mu Xiaowan could no longer hold back, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Grandpa, I really didn't hurt Shaoting, I've been worried about her..." Mu Xiaowan said, choking back sobs.
Old Master Chu gently patted Mu Xiaowan's shoulder to comfort her. Then, he turned to the old lady, his eyes full of reproach: "How could you hit someone without even knowing what happened? Nobody wanted Shaoting to be in trouble, but what does that have to do with Xiaowan? She brought it on herself. That slap of yours not only hurt her, but it also disgraced the Chu family!"
The old lady's eyes were full of resentment towards the old man. "If you cared about the Chu family's reputation, you wouldn't have let them take Shaoting away. If she hadn't been taken away, she wouldn't be in this predicament now, her fate unknown."
“She did something wrong, so she should take responsibility for her actions. Our Chu family should support all the Party’s directives.”
"And you, your child is so big now, stop crying all the time. Learn from your sister-in-law and be calm and composed in the face of things."
Bai Jiao'e blushed deeply after being reprimanded by Old Master Chu. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "I... I was just too anxious..."
Master Chu sighed, "Even in a hurry, you can't lose your mind. Xiao Wan is a good girl, this can't all be blamed on her."
After saying that, he turned to Mu Xiaowan and said, "Child, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Mu Xiaowan wiped away her tears and looked at Master Chu with gratitude.
Just then, the emergency room door slowly opened, and the doctor came out. Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and they rushed over anxiously.
"Doctor, how is he/she?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "She's pregnant, and the stress caused her to faint. How could you be so careless? You have to be careful when you're pregnant. She's not even two months along yet, and it's easy to miscarry."
Those who were anxiously inquiring about Chu Shaoting's health were now stunned, as if struck by lightning.
"Mom, Mom!" Bai Jiao'e rolled her eyes, and Chu Shaoqing quickly helped her up.
Another emergency rescue operation began.
……
In another ward, Chu Huaizhi asked Mu Xiaowan about her handling of Chu Shaoting, "No matter what you do, we will support you."
“Dad, I won’t really hurt Chu Shaoting, but if it happens again,” Mu Xiaowan’s eyes instantly became firm and sharp, “I will absolutely not hold back. Her actions this time almost ruined my shop and almost ruined my own life.”
After a moment of silence, Mu Xiaowan said, "I hope Chu Shaoting will reflect on her behavior and not make the same mistake again."
After saying that, Mu Xiaowan turned and left.
She had originally planned to do something, but now it seems she doesn't need to.
Chu Shaoting brought this upon herself.
"I...can I make a phone call to my family?" Chu Shaoting pleaded, her voice trembling with tears, after waking up and seeing the police. The officers exchanged glances and, following protocol, granted her request.
Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Shaoting, her gaze calm and profound: "I told my grandfather before I came that if you really did this, I won't go so far as to kill you." She paused, took a deep breath, "I know you made a mistake, but I don't want to push you to the brink. I hope the police can give you a good talking-to and make you understand the seriousness of this behavior."
I hope Chu Shaoting will use her brain. If she tries to sabotage my shop again, I will not let her off easily.
Unfortunately, they didn't catch An Muxue.
That idiot Chu Shaoting was really good to An Muxue; she never even thought of betraying her.
An Muxue is really something. She remained unmoved even after Chu Shaoting was arrested. It's been a whole day, and she hasn't even made a single phone call to inquire about it.
