Lu Chen sighed, then said, "The Lin family has a serious problem with favoring sons over daughters. I heard that the Lin family's sister was drowned by his mother because she couldn't afford to raise her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiaoyue was shocked and looked up at Lu Chen.

"My sister was almost drowned by my mom too. Later, my grandma threatened my dad, saying that if my sister drowned, my dad would divorce my mom."

Shen Qiaoyue was shocked after hearing this, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Such favoritism!

Shen Qiaoyue felt very happy. She had an older brother and sister at home, and she was able to grow up smoothly.

"Brother Chen, let's help Lanlan, otherwise she'll really have a hard time surviving." Lin Yaya's arrest has deprived the Lin family of an income, putting them in a difficult position. They'll definitely take their anger out on Lin Lanlan.

Lu Chen looked down at Shen Qiaoyue and asked curiously, "Why do you insist on helping Lin Lanlan?"

“Lanlan is a good child. If she can grow up in a good family, she will definitely be very successful. If she continues to stay in the Lin family, I’m afraid she will never grow up.” Because of her relationship with Zhang Cuihua, Shen Qiaoyue didn’t dare to visit Lin Lanlan in the hospital.

Lu Chen remained silent for a long while.

His eyes were vacant as he said softly, "If we want her to have a good childhood, we need to find a good family that can accept a ten-year-old child. It would take a long time to plan, which is unrealistic."

Shen Qiaoyue had already thought of it, but it was very risky.

“If you want to help, there’s always a way, it’s just very risky,” Shen Qiaoyue said.

Lu Chen stroked Shen Qiaoyue's head and said, "Don't do anything reckless."

Shen Qiaoyue then said, "How about we go to the hospital to see Lanlan?"

She still wanted to go to the hospital to see Lin Lanlan.

Lu remained silent for a moment, offering no comment.

The hospital at this moment!

Lin Lanlan is in the hospital; she actually woke up a long time ago.

His whole body was covered in wounds and bruises.

Lin Lanlan's eyes were vacant; the ten-year-old child was enduring abuse from her family.

Liu Xinlan walked in and stared at Lin Lanlan.

"Lanlan, are you feeling better?" Liu Xinlan asked, worried about Lin Lanlan's physical and mental health. She bent down and stroked Lin Lanlan's head. "Are you feeling unwell, Lanlan?"

When Lin Lanlan woke up, she looked at Liu Xinlan and asked, "Sister Liu, am I still alive?"

When Liu Xinlan heard a ten-year-old girl speak like that, she bit her lip with heartache, her nose suddenly stung, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Liu Xinlan lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

She looked up at Lin Lanlan again, her lips trembling. She really couldn't bear to see such a young child being harmed like this by her family.

Lin Lanlan's family beat the child and acted as if nothing had happened. They are still sitting at home eating and drinking well, while the child has to lie in the hospital.

His biological mother never even came to see him, and his biological father didn't care at all.

"Lanlan, you will live on, don't worry." Liu Xinlan held back her tears and smiled as she gently comforted Lin Lanlan.

Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyue also arrived at the ward door at this time.

They saw Liu Xinlan comforting Lin Lanlan.

Shen Qiaoyue looked up at Lu Chen and walked in.

"Dr. Liu, is Lanlan alright?" Shen Qiaoyue asked.

Liu Xinlan turned her head and saw Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen appear, and was very surprised.

"Qiaoyue, Commander Lu, what brings you here?" Liu Xinlan stood up, surprised that Lu Chen and Chen Qiaoyue would come to visit Lin Lanlan at this time.

"Brother Lu Chen, Sister-in-law Qiao Yue." Lin Lanlan hadn't expected them to come to see her.

Shen Qiaoyue saw Lin Lanlan beaten like this.

Touching Lin Lanlan's forehead with heartache, I realized how much she had bandaged it.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Qiaoyue looked at the hand, which was covered in purple marks. "Lanlan, you shouldn't have helped your sister-in-law. Maybe your mother wouldn't have hit you then."

"Sister-in-law, is this my retribution? My sister was arrested, is God taking revenge on me?" Lin Lanlan asked Shen Qiaoyue innocently.

After hearing these words, Shen Qiaoyue felt a pang of sorrow. What kind of talk was this?

Lin Lanlan is also innocent.

"Lanlan, I'm so sorry." Even though she was beaten like this, she didn't blame Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen for sending Lin Yaya to the police station.

She was beaten like this by her family; she blamed herself for harming her own sister.

Lu Chen came in with some food and placed it on the table. He said, "Lanlan, this is chicken soup that Aunt Wenru made for you. Drink some chicken soup. Aunt Wenru said that once you get better, you can go live at her house instead of going home. Then your grandma and mom won't dare to hit you anymore."

"Lanlan, Aunt Wenru is the army commander's wife and your father's superior. You can stay at their house without worry. Your parents have already been talked to and promised they will never hit you again."

Shen Qiaoyue touched Lin Lanlan's face.

On the way here, Lu Chen explained to Shen Qiaoyue that the army commander attached great importance to this issue.

I recalled the look in Commander Lin's eyes on my way back from getting food.

It turned out that she had been summoned for a talk by the leader, and because of Shen Qiaoyue's family background, she didn't dare to say anything.

Moreover, this incident wasn't caused by Shen Qiaoyue. Hitting children is a sign of their psychological problems, so how can they blame others? I really don't know how Deputy Division Commander Lin became a leader!

"So, does that mean I won't have any family left? I won't be able to go home anymore?" Lin Lanlan showed no anger and remained in a dazed state.

Shen Qiaoyue comforted her, "No, you can still go home, but whether you go back or not depends on whether you want to go back with them after your parents apologize to you."

Lin Lanlan did not speak again.
