The doctor examined Yan Shu.

"He still needs to be observed in the hospital for a few more days, but his recovery is going quite well."

After Yan Shu woke up, she was able to speak slowly, but she was listless and didn't talk much.

She and Yan Yaoyao arranged to meet at Courtyard No. 5, on the same floor as Yan Qiao.

Since the apartment next to Yan Qiao's hadn't been rented out yet, she wanted to persuade Yan Yaoyao to move in and stop getting entangled with Shen Zhou.

No one knows what she said that offended her, but Yan Yaoyao was so angry that she jumped up and down, saying that Chen Zhou had already transferred the house in Zixing Garden to her.

She also said that she would definitely marry into a wealthy family in the future, making all those who looked down on her look at her with new eyes.

Before Yan Shu could even tell her about transferring the house to her, her suggestion was completely rejected.

During the heated argument, she was accidentally pushed down the stairs by Yan Yaoyao.

Of course she knew that Yan Yaoyao didn't do it on purpose, but what chilled her heart the most was that Yan Yaoyao actually left!

She just left like that, abandoning her mother who was lying in a pool of blood.

Yan Shu closed her eyes; that was her own daughter.

Why would someone do something so morally reprehensible?

"Old Song, where is Yan Yaoyao?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

Having been married to her for many years, Song Yinsheng naturally sensed the anger in her words.

"She just left."

He didn't say much, afraid of affecting Yan Shu's health.

Yan Shu gave a cold laugh, "She pushed her own mother down the stairs, wasn't she going to come and check on her?"

Ruan Cha exclaimed in surprise: "So it really was her who pushed Aunt Yan down!"

Yan Qiao was equally surprised. She only knew that Yan Yaoyao had refused to help, but she didn't know that it was she who pushed Yan Shu down the stairs.

Song Yinsheng was utterly disappointed; he saw his own failure as a father reflected in Yan Yaoyao.

He felt helpless; Yan Yaoyao had grown up, so how could he possibly educate her?

Are we really going to send her to jail?

Yan Shu looked at Yan Qiao. Like Song Yinsheng, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this child.

"You saved me."

Yan Qiao said, "I just happened to see it. I believe anyone who saw it would have offered help."

Yan Shu felt a bitter taste in her throat. It wasn't that she would just stand by and watch her own daughter die.

"Yan Qiao, thank you."

She and Yan Yaohui didn't get along, because she knew all too well what kind of person Yan Yaohui was.

But he never imagined that his daughter would be so different from him.

Seeing her inevitably reminds me of Yan Yaoyao, and a wave of sorrow washes over me, causing me to burst into tears.

Song Yinsheng quickly picked up a tissue to wipe her tears, saying, "Why are you crying? You're not feeling well right now, so you can't get too emotional."

Yan Shu looked sorrowful. "I was just wondering how Yao Yao ended up like this."

“It’s our fault… I also feel guilty towards Yan Qiao. She was the one who saved you, yet Yao Yao slandered her online like that.” Song Yinsheng shook his head.

Yan Qiao interrupted him: "Uncle Song, let's talk about these things in a couple of days. Let Aunt Yan rest and recover first."

Anyway, it's not like she's only been criticized for the first time.

The more she tried to hide it, the more Yan Shu wanted to know.

"Give me your phone, let me see it."

Song Yinsheng already regretted letting it slip. "Let's talk about it in a couple of days. I'll handle it."

"If you could handle it, would you have waited until now? I've seen those trolls online before, I know how nasty they are. Give me your phone now!" Yan Shu urged.

Song Yinsheng had no choice but to show her the Weibo post that Yan Yaoyao had made.

As Yan Shu grew angrier, her emotional outburst aggravated her wounds.

Song Yinsheng quickly tried to calm him down: "I told you not to look, but you insisted on looking! It's fine if you did, but why are you so agitated?"

Yan Shu suppressed her anger: "Why am I agitated? Look at what your daughter is saying! She abandoned her own mother to die, which is already an act of beastly behavior. Now she's a habitual liar; she's probably even fooling herself!"

First there was the fraudulent donation, and now they're openly slandering Yan Qiao online!

"Call the police! Arrest her and put her to her senses!"

Ruan Cha raised an eyebrow; this Yan Shu was indeed quite different from what she had imagined.

Song Yinsheng was silent for a moment, then said, "If you really want to send her to jail, I will contact the police station right now."

She really went too far this time.

Yan Shu was stunned, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.

That's her daughter, the child she raised single-handedly.

Song Yinsheng quickly coaxed, "Alright, alright, I know you weren't being honest just now. We'll teach the child properly and slowly."

"If she could still be taught, would she have done something like this?"

Song Yinsheng thought about it and realized that Yan Yaoyao really should be taught a lesson this time; he couldn't continue to indulge her.

He asked Yan Qiao and Ruan Cha to stay here while he went out to handle some matters.

Ruan Cha smiled and said, "Uncle Song, you go ahead. Qiaoqiao and I will take good care of Aunt Yan."

Yan Shu then looked at her. Ruan Cha was a child star, so she naturally recognized her.

"You're even better looking than on TV."

Ruan Cha's eyes lit up. "Really? Auntie has seen my dramas."

"I've seen it. You were so cute when you were little, how could I not have seen it?"

With Ruan Cha enlivening the atmosphere, Yan Shu felt a little more at ease.

It was around the time Song Yinsheng contacted the police station that the news broke online that Yan Yaoyao had been taken away by the police!

Coupled with her Weibo post yesterday accusing Yan Qiao of defaming her, netizens were somewhat confused about the drama.

One minute they say Yan Qiao has been detained, the next minute she herself has been taken away.

At this point, some people couldn't help but start speculating about conspiracy theories.

I have a guess, it can't really be...

Could it be that Yan Yaoyao really stood by and watched her own mother die?

[It's chilling to think about; that's her own mother. Even a beast wouldn't do such a thing.]

[Wasn't she the one who falsely accused Yan Qiao yesterday? She was clearly the one slandering her!]

[Yan Qiao is truly pitiful.]

Of course, Song Yinsheng didn't really want Yan Yaoyao to be sentenced; he just wanted to teach her a lesson.

So that she knows that no one in this world should unconditionally indulge you.

"Qiaoqiao, could you record a video for me?"

Yan Qiao was taken aback. "Record what video?"

"I'll send you a video to clarify things. It was my daughter who did it, and as her mother, I have an obligation to clear your name. After I've cleared things up for you, if you still want to pursue the matter, that's fine with me."

Yan Qiao wasn't in a hurry. "You can rest for two more days. I don't mind."

Yan Shu sighed, "How can you not care after suffering such a great injustice? A girl's reputation is so important."

She suddenly remembered Yan Yaoyao when she was little, how she would still act cute and clingy to her even if she only got a scrape.

Despite being the same age as her, Yan Qiao is unusually independent.

Her independence stems largely from having no one to rely on, which suggests that Yan Yaohui and Chen Lan are not qualified parents.

"Let's record it."

Yan Qiao lowered her eyes, her eyes stinging with tears.

"Aunt Yan, thank you."

Yan Shu's eyes welled up with tears. It was clearly her daughter who had wronged Yan Qiao.

"Silly child, this is what I should do."
