“Granny Lin, there’s something I have to tell you, please don’t be angry!”

Zhao Ping spoke cautiously, trying to appease her while hesitating to spit it out.

Lin Wei was in a good mood at the moment. She took the tea he handed over, sipped it, and said, “Go ahead. Judging by your expression, did you get into trouble? Spit it out, Granny Lin will see if I can help you solve it.”

Zhao Ping hesitated and said, “Actually, this matter also involves Ah Zhen.”

Lin Wei’s curiosity was immediately piqued. “What happened exactly? Tell me carefully.”

Only then did Zhao Ping say, “Actually, today Alt Zhen brought a girl with us when we went out to play. He didn’t introduce her to us at the time, so we didn’t know the girl’s name. But since she was brought by Ah Zhen, we treated her well. However, unexpectedly, when Air Zhen wasn’t around, that girl actually laid hands on Kang Wei.”

Kang Wei, upon hearing this, was first shocked, then he realized and said, “Yes, I really didn’t do anything to her. I don’t know why she was so clingy to me. But many people saw it. I just wanted to keep my distance from her. Who knew that after Ah Zhen came back, that girl even became angry and complained to Ah Zhen, deliberately accusing us of bullying her.”

“And then?” Lin Wei’s face had already darkened.

She detested coquettish girls the most, especially young ones who weren’t well-behaved. She immediately felt that the girl had impure motives. How could she not be angry?

“Then we tried our best to explain to Ah Zhen, but he just wouldn’t believe us! We’ve been brothers for so many years, I have no reason to lie to him!” Kang Wei explained with a look of grievance.

Zhao Ping also nodded and said, “Yes, at that time, Air Zhen was instigated by that girl and directly fought with us! The scene was too chaotic. I was trying to break it up, but who knew Ah Zhen accidentally hit the corner of the table.”

At these words, Lin Wei stood up from the sofa with a “swish,” “And then? How is Air Zhen? Is he injured?”

Zhao Ping lowered his head, nodded pitifully, “Ah Zhen accidentally hit the corner of the table with his lower back and has been taken to the hospital. We just came back from the hospital. Li Si is there, and we were afraid you would worry after hearing the news, so we wanted to come and tell you slowly.”

“In which hospital?” Lin Wei told the maid to quickly fetch her bag and made it as if to leave.

Her most beloved grandson was now in the hospital. She had to go and see for herself before she could feel at ease.

“Hey, Granny Lin, please don’t rush. If there’s any news, Li Si will call you! Uncle Kang is also there with him. This time it’s our fault. If we explained it more clearly to Ah Zhen and made him trust us, things wouldn’t have escalated like this!”

Zhao Ping quickly stopped her. At this moment, Li Zhen’s life or death was uncertain. Letting the old lady see him now would only make things worse.

What they needed to do now was to stabilize the situation as much as possible. When Li Zhen safely came out of the operating room, they would bring the old lady along to minimize her anger.

Kang Wei followed to support Lin Wei and said, “Granny Lin, it’s really our fault this time. Li Zhen hasn’t played with us for a long time. We just wanted everyone to be happy, but we didn’t expect such a thing to happen. We’ve never seen that girl before, or else this misunderstanding wouldn’t have happened.”

Lin Wei sighed, “Alright, alright, I know it’s not your fault. Li Zhen is in the hospital now. Where did that girl go?”

“She left,” Zhao Ping lied without hesitation, without even a pause.

Lin Wei sternly said, “Wicked woman! She caused Ah Zhen to end up like this and ran away! No, I won’t let this go with her! Do you have any photos or other information about that girl? I’ll find someone to deal with her!”

Zhao Ping and Kang Wei exchanged a smile at her words, then quickly suppressed the smile. “Granny Lin, I vaguely heard Air Zhen call that girl Air Shu? As for the rest, we don’t know!”

Lin Wei rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, “What good can those shady girls outside bring? Today, they seduce this man, tomorrow they’ll seduce others. I’ve seen plenty of people like her! Ah Zhen is still too young, he’s been deceived by such dirty tricks! I must ask him what’s going on!”

“That’s right! Granny Lin, I think what you said is absolutely right. Ah Zhen was indeed deceived by that girl.” Zhao Ping quickly agreed, then changed the subject, “But Granny Lin, I think you shouldn’t personally talk to Ah Zhen about this matter.”

“Think about it, Ah Zhen closed himself completely in his room not long ago and even moved out deliberately. He probably didn’t want you to worry about him. If you bring up that girl’s matter to scold him now, it might backfire.”

Lin Wei thought about it and realized it made sense. With a frown, she asked seriously, “Then what do you think I should do?”
