After saying that, he ignored Jiang Hongyi, who had an ugly expression on his face, and got into Li Qi’s car.
“Are you in a hurry to return to the military base?”
Li Qi put his phone away and immediately shook his head. The Director-general had already approved his request to follow the ambulance.
“Then keep up with the ambulance.”
“Sure!”
*******
Jiang Shuwan was sent to the best private hospital in Jiang District.
Not long after the ambulance arrived, the Jiang Family also pulled up.
Zhong Nuannuan and Zhong Qianqian followed the nurses and pushed Jiang Shuwan into the operating room. When they turned around, they saw Jiang Hanlin and Xie Congrong holding Grandma Jiang’s hand with Jiang Hongyang by her side. The party promptly walked over to them.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was on Zhong Nuannuan, the hatred in their eyes obvious. This was especially true for Jiang Hongyang.
Although Grandma Jiang came from the countryside, she had been a nouveau riche in the city for more than ten years, so her aura was fierce.
She held a walking cane, and her eyes had a majestic look to them. At the same time, her expression was solemn and as dark as ink.
“Grandma.”
Zhong Qianqian could not help but cry when she walked to Grandma Jiang, and she looked very wronged, as if she had been bullied by Zhong Nuannuan.
“Don’t cry, girl. How is your mother?” Grandma Jiang asked calmly.
“We just sent her into the operating room. Earlier in the ambulance, the emergency doctor gave her a preliminary examination and said she had a broken rib. As things stand, they still don’t know whether her internal organs were harmed yet.”
Zhong Qianqian said this while crying, and because Grandma Jiang’s well-maintained face had been weather-beaten when she was young, her face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum which not even cosmetics could hide. Zhong Nuannuan could see the unevenly spread foundation in her wrinkles.
“What exactly happened?”
As Zhong Qianqian listened to the question, she glanced at Leng Qirui, who was next to Zhong Nuannuan, and could only answer weakly, “I don’t know. By the time I received the news and came out, Mom had already fainted.”
“Qianqian, why is your nose bleeding again?” Auntie Xie Congrong asked.
Zhong Qianqian maintained her weak look, touched her dry and crusty nose, and shook her head. “No… Nothing.”
That weak expression, which looked like a small white flower blowing around in the wind, was very pitiful.
When Grandma Jiang saw her granddaughter like this, what else did she need to know?
With a strong, imposing manner, she walked over to Zhong Nuannuan. Without saying a word, she raised the cane in her hand and hit Zhong Nuannuan on the head.
However, in the next moment, the old lady’s hand was lightly held by Zhong Nuannuan’s gently raised hand.
Grandma Jiang stared in disbelief.
She had heard about some of the things that have happened during this period of time, and had long wanted to teach this reckless girl a lesson. However, who would have thought that this girl who had never before rebelled against her, and could even be said to be resigned and submissive, would firmly clamp her hand at this moment to prevent her from moving. Worse still, she even had a sneer on her face.
“How dare you fight back?”
Zhong Nuannuan was startled. “Grandmother, you probably have problems with your eyes, right? I’m just stopping you from hitting me, so how did this suddenly turn into me fighting back?”
“Zhong Nuannuan, you’re too shameless! Don’t you dare say that she’s your grandmother. Even if she’s an old woman who you don’t know, you still can’t treat her so rudely!”
Xie Congrong’s words drew onlookers from the crowd and medical staff outside the operating room.
“Oh, so according to Auntie, since she’s my grandmother, she can simply beat me indiscriminately. Even if I’m beaten to death, would I deserve it?”
“Nonsense, without your grandmother, where would you have come from? You think that just because you’ve found a man with a good background that your wings have grown? So, now that you’ve done something wrong, can your family not scold you anymore?”
