Song Fengwan ran the fastest. Fu Chen was bidding farewell to Old Madam Yan when he heard the cry. He gripped his prayer bead bracelet tightly and followed Song Fengwan to the back.
Old Madam Yanâs legs werenât nimble, so she ran very slowly. Yan Wangchuan was also shocked when he heard the commotion and ran to the lounge with the Qiao family.
Song Fengwan arrived the fastest. From afar, she saw Zhang Suqiu pulling her mother. Yan Zhihuan was on the floor and holding her stomach while crying out loud.
âMy stomach, my childâ¦â
Zhang Suqiu grabbed Qiao Aiyunâs clothes tightly and refused to let her leave. â⦠You hit someone and still want to run? Stop right there.â
âLet go. I didnât hit her.â Qiao Aiyun frowned. She took into account the child in her stomach and didnât dare to pull and push her recklessly.
âIf you didnât push her, could she have fallen on her own? She has a child in her stomach. If something happens to the child, I wonât let you off.â
Zhang Suqiu was already difficult to deal with. At this moment, she opened her mouth wide at her, looking as if she wanted to eat her.
Qiao Aiyun tried to break free, but Zhang Suqiu was grabbing her clothes tightly, refusing to let go.
âWhat are you doing?!â Song Fengwan ran over.
âWanwan.â Qiao Aiyun had never seen such a shameless person. She was anxious and angry, and this woman was pinching her arm until it hurt.
She took a deep breath and instinctively pushed her away.
Zhang Suqiu wasnât pushed away. When she saw that Song Fengwan had arrived and that there was a group of people following behind her, she thought that her daughter couldnât be pushed in vain. She steeled her heart, grabbed Qiao Aiyunâs shoulder, and suddenly exerted force.
âMom!â Song Fengwan watched as Qiao Aiyunâs back hit the corridor wall, and her face turned green in fright.
Bang!?She fell to the floor.
Fu Chenâs eyes narrowed. He was one step faster than Song Fengwan and supported Qiao Aiyun. âAunt Yun?â
Qiao Aiyunâs back hurt from the collision, and the pearl hairpin on her head fell off. It was so painful that she broke out in cold sweat. After all, she was already middle-aged, so how could she withstand such a collision? She felt as if her bones almost fell apart.
âMom, are you alright?â Song Fengwanâs eyes instantly reddened as she fell to her knees.
Qiao Aiyunâs spine was aching, and her scalp went numb from the pain. She couldnât speak for a moment.
âShi Fang, go get the car!â Fu Chen reached out to carry her.
âOkay.â Shi Fang hurriedly ran out and bumped into Yan Wangchuan. When he saw his dark expression, his heart trembled in fear.
Yan Wangchuan took Qiao Aiyun from Fu Chenâs arms and looked deeply at the mother and daughter not far away.
His gaze was cold and sharp like a freezing blade, piercing to the bone.
Zhang Suqiu was so frightened that her heart trembled. Even Yan Zhihuan didnât dare to cry out for a moment.
He was already cold and scary to begin with. Now that he was glaring at them, his sharp gaze was terrifying.
But Yan Wangchuan only had thoughts for Qiao Aiyun at this moment, so he naturally had no time to care about them. He held her in his arms and ran out.
He had drunk a lot of alcohol today, so his footsteps were a little unsteady. Thankfully, Yan Shaochen helped support him. Otherwise, the two of them would have rolled down the stairs when they left the hotel.
Old Madam Yan and the Qiao family had just arrived. When they saw this situation, their hearts pounded as they ran out.
â¦
âMomââ Yan Zhihuan was still lying on the floor and wailing. âMy stomach hurts. Ouch! Is my child going to die?â
Song Fengwan was about to chase after them when she heard Zhang Suqiu suddenly say:
âItâs just a fall. Why are you so delicate? Huanhuan, donât be afraid. Iâve already called an ambulance.â
Song Fengwan stopped in her tracks and turned around to walk back.
Zhang Suqiu was half-squatting on the ground when she saw a black shadow looming over her. She looked up and saw Song Fengwan. Song Fengwanâs eyes were red as she stared at her fiercely.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Zhang Suqiu stood up. âYour mother pushed her first. My daughter is pregnant with the Xiao familyâs child. If anything happens, I wonât let her off.â
âBoohooââ Yan Zhihuan was still wailing on the floor. Her voice was ear-piercing. âMom, my stomach hurts.â
âIâve really never seen anyone with such a vicious heart. She wonât even let a child offâ¦â Zhang Suqiu saw Fu Chen standing at the side from the corner of her eye.
She had heard someone introduce him at the banquet. He was from the Fu family in Beijing and a distinguished guest of the Yan family. Everyone attached great importance to him, so Song Fengwan probably wouldnât dare to be rash in front of him.
After all, this person was her elder and a guest. If she dared to be so presumptuous, wouldnât it be disgraceful?
âIf anything happens to my daughter and her child today, Iâ¦â
Before Zhang Suqiu could finish speaking, Song Fengwan slapped her.
She was dumbfounded.
When Song Fengwan angrily criticized Yan Zhihuan for slandering her for stealing, Zhang Suqiu wasnât present and had no idea how powerful she was. She was suddenly slapped, and she forgot to breathe as she looked at her in disbelief.
âYou⦠you hit me?â Zhang Suqiu was already in her forties. At her age, she had never been hit by anyone, let alone a little girl.
âMom, this damn girl scolded me before.â Yan Zhihuan added fuel to the fire. âYou canât let her offâ¦â
âShut up!â Song Fengwan shouted at Yan Zhihuan with a cold face.
Yan Zhihuan was so frightened that her face paled, and she didnât dare to say anything.
âYou still dare to reprimand my daughter? This is too much. How dare you hit me? You ill-bred wretched girl, I heard that your biological father is a scumbag. How could the daughter he raised be any better? As expected, youâre not a good thing either.â
Song Fengwan tightened her grip and suddenly loosened it. She raised her hand and slapped her again.
âSay another word?â
âIâm fighting it out with you!â Zhang Suqiu was a shrew to begin with. After being hit twice, she instantly exploded. She reached out to grab her, wishing she could scratch her face.
Song Fengwan wasnât afraid of her. At this moment, her eyes were red from anxiety, and she wished she could beat her to death.
Just as she raised her arm to hit someone, someone grabbed her shoulder, pulled her back, and blocked in front of her.
Zhang Suqiu was caught off guard and missed. Afraid of falling, she reached out and grabbed Fu Chenâs clothes.
At this momentâ¦
Fu Chen suddenly raised his leg and kicked.
Zhang Suqiu felt a sharp pain in her thigh. Caught off guard, she fell to her knees and screamed.
Fu Chenâs kick was ruthless.
Her thigh was so painful that she was twitching and trembling. Her kneecaps had hit the floor, and she felt as if her bones were about to crack open. She gasped in pain and looked at Fu Chen fiercely.
âYouâ¦â
âWhat?â Fu Chen raised his hand and brushed the corner of his shirt. âYou still want to fight me?â
Behind him were Shi Fang and Qian Jiang. Zhang Suqiu naturally didnât dare to make a sound and could only swallow her anger.
âMom!â Yan Zhihuanâs pupils constricted slightly.
âI donât like others touching my clothes. Itâs dirty.â Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. âI donât like people looking at me like that either.â
âNo one has ever dared to glare at Third Master like that. Youâre quite bold,â Shi Fang teased.
Zhang Suqiu lowered her gaze and reached out to rub her thigh. She was sweating from the pain.
At this moment, the ambulance that had been called earlier arrived. The medical staff were running over with a stretcher.
âLetâs go to the hospital.â Fu Chen glanced at Song Fengwan.
***
Nanjiang City Second Peopleâs Hospitalâ¦
Qiao Aiyun was sent to the nearest hospital for treatment. Yan Shaochen was driving. After all, he was familiar with the road conditions. As soon as they arrived at the hospital and the medics placed her on a hospital bed, everyone saw the bloodstain on Yan Wangchuanâs chest.
Old Madam Yanâs vision blurred, and she almost fainted.
When the doctor rushed over and saw Yan Wangchuan, his heart skipped a beat. Just now, in the office, they were still discussing his big wedding today. Yan Jewelries was holding a discount sale, but unfortunately, they couldnât afford it.
âWhat happened?â
âShe was hit.â Qiao Wangbeiâs face was cold from beginning to end.
Just as the doctor was about to examine her, Qiao Xiyan added, âSheâs pregnant.â
The doctors and nurses nearby were dumbfounded.
They never heard that Mrs. Yan was pregnant.
Qiao Aiyun was unconscious at this moment. After the doctor invited the family members out, he pulled the curtain closed and checked her lower body. Because she was wearing a red wedding dress, the amount of blood flowing out was not very clear. When he took off her clothes, the smell of blood hit his face.
âContact Dr. Zhao immediately.â
â¦
On the other side, Yan Zhihuan was also sent to a hospital. It had been a few hours since the Xiao family received the news.
No one from the Xiao family came to Yan Wangchuanâs wedding. They only sent someone to give him their gift. Many people knew that Xiao Jingan had gotten Yan Zhihuan pregnant before getting married. The Xiao family was also afraid that people would criticize them behind their backs, so they didnât come at all.
So when the Xiao family heard that something had happened to her at the wedding, they were very surprised.
The moment Xiao Jingan entered the ward, he saw Yan Zhihuanâs ashen face. She was wearing a hospital gown, and her lips were dry and pale. She was crying very miserably.
âJingan, our child is gone.â
Sitting at the side, Zhang Suqiu was wiping her tears.
Mrs. Xiao had been busy preparing the wedding recently. When she heard that something had happened to Yan Zhihuan, she was thunderstruck. They were only getting married on account of the child. Now that the invitation had been sent out, if something really happened to the child, wouldnât it beâ¦
At this moment, a female doctor was standing beside her and nodded. âWe tried our best.â
Mrs. Xiao almost collapsed to the floor.
âJingan, I didnât take good care of Huanhuan.â Zhang Suqiu was also crying. âIn-laws, itâs all my fault.â
âWhat exactly happened?â Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath and asked.
âItâs all because of Qiao Aiyun. Sheâs also a mother. Sheâs simply crazy. She clearly knows that Huanhuan is pregnant, yet she still pushed her.â
Zhang Suqiu pointed at her own face.
âLook at it yourselves. My face was slapped by her daughter.
âThis mother and daughter are too virulent.â
â¦
On the other sideâ¦
After Qiao Aiyun was sent to the emergency room, Yan Wangchuan exploded. âWhere are they?â
After asking around, they found out that Yan Zhihuan had been sent to Boâai Hospital.
âBoâai Hospital?â Old Madam Yan was in disbelief.
âWhatâs wrong?â Qiao Wangbei also planned to settle scores with them.
âBoâai Hospital is in the suburbs, and it takes more than half an hour to drive there from the hotel. Didnât they call an ambulance? Why did they drag her there?â
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to check on Nanjiangâs Boâai Hospital. It would take more than half an hour to drive from the hotel where the accident happened. Although he wasnât familiar with Nanjiang, he knew very well that ambulances would go to the nearest hospital in principle, and patients could also request to be sent to certain hospitals.
Nanjiang City Second Peopleâs Hospital was less than ten minutes away from the scene of the accident.
Isnât she pregnant and suffering from abdominal pain?
How could she bear to take half an hour to go to a hospital so far away?
Moreover, itâs a private hospital and has a lot of inflated expenses.
The family conditions of the person that Yan Zhihuan was about to marry werenât bad either. Even if it was a normal pregnancy check-up, it was impossible to find such a hospital. It was not a specialized hospital for women and children. Moreover, it was only a primary hospital[1]with very poor facilities.
Her daughter had been knocked down while pregnant, so it was already abnormal for her to keep arguing with Qiao Aiyun instead of calling for help and sending her to the hospital. Now that he thought about it, the two of them had probably planned to perform this show long ago.
It had been too chaotic at the time, so Fu Chen hadnât thought much about it. But now that he looked at the whole thing, there were too many suspicious points.
Since Fu Chen could think of this, Old Madam Yan naturally also could. Although she was getting old, she had supported the Yan family by herself and had seen many things, so she immediately understood the crux of the matter.
âBeasts! Theyâre worse than beasts! I thought they were pitiful and had been taking care of them. I didnât expect to raise two ingrates!
âTheyâre worse than beasts. Theyâre scum!
âI was really muddled.â
Old Madam Yan beat her chest and stomped her feet, feeling anxious and guilty. Actually, if Yan Wangchuan hadnât suddenly gotten married, this mother and daughter wouldnât have exposed their true nature and felt that their interests were damaged and that they wouldnât be able to gain anything from the Yan family.
If not for Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan, they could have performed this show for the rest of their lives.
Hearing Old Madam Yanâs words, everyone seemed to understand some things. Yan Wangchuanâs and Qiao Wangbeiâs faces were even uglier.
Song Fengwan had been staring at the door of the emergency room and had no time to care about this at all.
Fu Chen licked the inside of his cheek with the tip of his tongue.
That mother and daughter just wanted to find someone to take the blame and slander Aunt Yun. They thought that pushing Aunt Yun wouldnât be a big deal. But in the end, their fake pregnancy encountered a real pregnancy?
They will likely die ugly deaths.
Bang!?Yan Wangchuan suddenly raised his hand and punched the wall hard. His knuckles turned purple from the impact. He had drunk a lot of alcohol earlier, and his eyes were bloodshot. If he rushed over now, he would really be able to tear the mother and daughter apart.
Boâai Hospital was too far away. Even though he wanted to skin those two alive, he could only endure this anger and wait for Qiao Aiyun to come out.
Fu Chen glanced at the emergency room.?Even if Aunt Yun is fine, looking at Yan Wangchuanâs state, he has to kill those two. If anything happensâ¦
