Chapter 599 She's Very Well-Behaved (Twenty-Eight)
Seeing this out of the corner of her eye, Shang Shang instinctively turned around and reached out to protect Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani, pushing them away from the liquid that was being splashed.
Her back and arms were splashed with the splatter, a stinging pain accompanied by the smell of burning clothes and flesh.
Shang Shang was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fearing that the man might have another trick up his sleeve, she pushed the two of them, saying, "Run!"
Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni then realized something was wrong. Seeing Shang Shang like this, how could she possibly run away?
Du Mengmeng, her eyes red, cursed as she watched Shang Shang's back steaming. "You son of a bitch..."
Wang Jianni rushed towards the man, grabbing her bag and frantically scratching at him who had already thrown the bottle.
The greeter at the hot pot restaurant saw this and hurriedly called for help. A group of young waiters rushed out of the restaurant, subdued the suspect, and then called 120 to take Shang Shang to the hospital.
Fortunately, the other party used diluted sulfuric acid. Shang Shang had two palm-sized burns on her back and one burn on her right arm.
Although it wasn't severely corroded, it was still pitted and somewhat creepy.
When Shang Shang came out of the operating room, she felt less pain because of the anesthesia. Looking at Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni, who were crying their eyes out, she smiled and said, "Look at you two, why are you crying? I'm perfectly fine, and I'm not disfigured."
Wang Jianni had a small splatter on her forearm, which had already been treated. But when she saw Shang Shang, the usually strong girl burst into tears. She went over and grabbed Shang Shang's hand, saying, "It hurts so much! You've always cried for ages over the smallest scrape. How could you do this? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Du Mengmeng was also splashed with a few drops, and even after treatment, it still burned painfully. If Shang Shang hadn't protected them and pushed them back a considerable distance, she and Wang Jianni would have been disfigured.
She wiped away her tears, feeling both heartbroken and sad: "Shangshang, are you stupid? Why are you protecting us? It breaks my heart to see you like this, sob sob sob."
Shang Shang's eyes also reddened from their crying: "Alright, stop crying. I'll be heartbroken if either of you gets hurt. Besides, it's just a shoulder, it's nothing serious. My mom will come and take a look later, and there definitely won't be any scars left."
Wang Jianni was still upset, but also very touched. What she said was absolutely right. Shangshang had been very afraid of pain since she was little. She would cry if she fell and hurt her knee or bumped her head.
When she was little, we would catch toads together in the courtyard. If she got scratched by a tree branch and her arm was scratched with a red mark, but there was no bleeding, she would cry and take the toad to her grandma to blow on it.
She's been pampered since she was little, so she must be in a lot of pain right now.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't stop crying, Shang Shang sighed and said, "After all this commotion, I'm a little hungry. Can you go buy me some instant noodles?"
Du Mengmeng wiped away her tears: "Instant noodles are so unhealthy. I'll have my housekeeper make some for you right now and bring them over."
Helpless, Shang Shang just wanted to distract the two of them: "Okay, stop crying, what's wrong with that guy?"
Wang Jianni wiped away her tears: "I don't know, the police took me away. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou went to the police station, and we came to the hospital to treat my wounds."
Shang Shang looked at the bandages on Wang Jianni and Du Mengmeng's arms and laughed: "We're going through thick and thin together now, but don't worry, my mom will definitely have a way to help us get rid of the scars."
Wang Jianni wiped her eyes: "I'm not concerned about whether it will leave a scar, I don't care at all. I'm just worried that you'll be in pain."
Shang Shang quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
While the three sisters were comforting each other, Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi rushed over from the police station.
After receiving the call, they went to the hospital first. Shang Shang was undergoing surgery in the emergency room. They then went to the police station with the police to find out what was going on.
Knowing the location of Shang Shang's injury and the concentration of sulfuric acid, Jiang Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
When Jiang Zhizhi returned from the police station with Zhou Xiye, she saw the three little girls in the ward crying and laughing. Jiang Zhizhi was worried that Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni would feel guilty, so she went over and touched Shangshang's head: "How are you? Does it hurt?"
Shang Shang shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, Dad, Mom, don't worry."
Wang Jianni asked Zhou Xiye, "Uncle Zhou, what's the deal with that man?"
They also saw the man's face, but none of the three of them recognized him.
Zhou Xiye frowned: "It's a problem with that hot pot restaurant. They fired a waiter before, and the waiter is holding a grudge and thinking about revenge."
Du Mengmeng was speechless: "So, the three of us are innocent victims?"
Zhou Xiye nodded: "The hot pot restaurant owner also admitted that he fired the waiter because he was lazy, but he didn't settle his previous wages."
Wang Jianni sighed, "We're just unlucky. Auntie, it's our fault for not taking good care of Shangshang and letting her protect us get hurt. I'm sorry."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Silly child, why are you apologizing? You two grew up together and have such a good relationship. It's only right that Shang Shang saved you. From another perspective, if you had found out first, wouldn't you have protected Shang Shang?"
Du Mengmeng nodded without hesitation: "I definitely will. I wanted to smash that man's head in at the time."
Wang Jianni nodded: "Yes, I will protect any of them if they are in danger."
Jiang Zhizhi patted Shang Shang's head again: "See, this is what good friends are like, so neither of them needs to blame themselves. As long as the other person is safe, she is happy."
Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani also dealt with the suspect with deadly force. When she and Zhou Xiye went to check on him, his face was scratched so badly that he was unrecognizable, and there were bloodstains on his neck and ears.
The two girls were extremely angry at the time, and they acted ruthlessly and quickly.
Shang Shang looked at Wang Jiani and Du Mengmeng and said, "You two go back first. My mom can stay here."
Du Mengmeng was unhappy: "No, no, Nini and I will stay here with you. We are also injured. If you feel unwell anywhere, you can see a doctor tonight. Auntie and Uncle can go back and rest, and bring us food tomorrow morning."
The single room had a bed for a caregiver and a three-seater sofa, which was just enough for them to stay in.
Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated. These were all children she had watched grow up, and she knew they were all well-behaved. She washed her hands and went over to check Shang Shang's wound: "It's nothing, just take good care of it. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, and once your wounds are a little better, I'll apply scar-reducing ointment. It's not a big problem."
She then pinched Shangshang's cheek: "It's just that it's tough sleeping, you can't move around too much, you can only lie down and sleep obediently."
Shang Shang chuckled and said, "It's okay. If I'm sleepy, I can fall asleep anytime."
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye went back first so as not to disturb the three girls' rest, and it would be inconvenient for them if they were there.
Zhou Xiye still felt sorry for his daughter. After going downstairs, he discussed with Jiang Zhizhi, "I'll rest for a few days and cook and deliver meals to Shangshang."
