Chapter 123 Lu Family
After hearing the doctor's words, Wen Ci was stunned for a second and took a breath, "Thank you, doctor, I understand."
After the doctor left, Wen Ci calmed down a little before entering the ward.
She sat on the accompanying chair beside the bed, gently held Xie Peizhou's hand, and said softly: "First take good care of yourself, and we'll talk about other things when you feel better."
Xie Peizhou pursed his pale lips, looked at Wen Ci with eyes full of heartache, and held her hand back, "Okay."
My sternum is broken, and even talking makes the pain worse.
Xie Peizhou originally didn't want to let Wen Ci know that he was injured, so as to avoid her worrying and feeling distressed, but Wen Ci still found out. She sighed helplessly in her heart and now only hoped that she could get better quickly.
According to the attending physician's diagnosis, Xie Peizhou was lucky. The bullet was blocked by the bulletproof vest and he only suffered the impact of the bullet. His sternum was slightly displaced and fractured, and there was no compression or injury to the heart and blood vessels. He only needed to rest in bed and wear a chest belt to reinforce the pain.
However, it takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, and clinical healing takes 4-6 weeks. It will take at least 3-6 months for the broken sternum bone and callus to mature.
This year's New Year's Eve, Xie Peizhou had to spend it in the hospital.
The next day, Officer Yan Yujiao came to visit Xie Peizhou. She was not wearing a uniform, but casual clothes, a long black down jacket, long boots, and light makeup on her face. At first glance, she looked like a beautiful woman with a heroic temperament.
Wen Ci didn't recognize him for a moment, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Yan Yujiao laughed, his voice neutral and charming. "Miss Wen, I'm Yan Yujiao. I came to see Mr. Xie and tell you about Song Wanqing's arrest."
"Hello, Officer Yan."
Wen Ci's face flushed and she turned sideways to invite Yan Yujiao in.
From the first time she met Yan Yujiao, Wen Ci felt that she was popular with both men and women.
"Thanks."
Yan Yujiao smiled faintly as she walked into the ward. She briefly inquired about Xie Peizhou's health before saying, "Song Wanqing was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, attempted murder, drugging someone, and illegal escape. The content she posted became a trending topic online, and we've received numerous reports today. She's also been charged with plagiarizing design manuscripts, among other offenses. When the case is sent to the procuratorate after the New Year, the lightest sentence is life imprisonment."
Yan Yujiao didn't stay in the ward for long. After explaining Song Wanqing's condition clearly, he left.
"Mr. Xie, please take good care of yourself. We will inform you two if there is any follow-up situation."
"Thank you, Officer Yan. I'll take you there."
Wen Ci gratefully saw her to the door.
At this moment, a handsome male doctor came towards them, wearing a pair of elegant glasses on his nose. "Are you done?"
The man spoke in a cold voice and looked at Yan Yujiao.
Yan Yujiao nodded, changing his heroic demeanor and taking the male doctor's arm. "Well, you can go now."
Noticing Wen Ci's kind gaze.
Yan Yujiao introduced: "This is my husband, Zhang Yan."
"The victim of the case, Wen Ci."
"Miss Wen." Zhang Yan looked at Wen Ci with a calm expression. After greeting her, his gaze returned to Yan Yujiao's face. "It's getting late. Let's go. Xiao Ha is still waiting in the car."
"Miss Wen, we're leaving first."
Yan Yujiao said something to Wen Ci again, and walked towards the elevator with Zhang Yan side by side.
Wen Ci watched the two of them leave.
It is very surprising that Officer Yan, who is so ambitious in his career, is married and has children.
…
New Year's Eve, Lu family.
Lu Bingchen went out in the morning and attended a class reunion, where he reminisced with friends he hadn't seen for many years. He returned to the Lu family at around three in the afternoon.
"Bingchen, come in quickly, Yuanyuan is injured!"
As Lu Bingchen entered the villa with his car keys in hand, his mother's hurried voice reached his ears. He frowned slightly and strode towards the living room.
"What's going on?"
When Lu Bingchen walked into the living room, he saw three women crowded in the stairwell.
Xie Yiyi frowned, standing against the wall, his face filled with displeasure. Su Yuan slumped down on the stairs, clutching her ankle in agony. Mother Lu supported Su Yuan's arm, asking about her well-being with a distressed look.
Hearing Lu Bingchen's voice, Mother Lu turned around and urged, "Bingchen, why don't you come over here? Yuanyuan was pushed by Yiyi and fell down. She twisted her ankle. Take her to the living room first to see if the sprain is serious. See if you should notify your eldest brother to end his social activities early and come back to take her to the hospital!"
On the side, Xie Yiyi lowered her eyes and looked at Lu's mother, her eyelids almost rolled up to the sky.
From Lu's mother's tone, it seemed that Su Yuan didn't just sprain her leg, but rather that she had been stabbed dozens of times. Her life was in danger. If she had been carried down the stairs a second later, she would have died.
"Lu Bingchen, what are you still standing there for?!"
Seeing her son's lack of reaction, Mother Lu asked in a reproachful tone, "Can't you see that Yuanyuan is in so much pain that tears are about to burst out?"
"Here I come."
Lu Bingchen spoke in a low voice and strode up the stairs.
He glanced at Xie Yiyi with his black eyes, then squatted down, lowered his eyes to look at Su Yuan's ankle that she was holding tightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Take your hand away, let me see."
"Bingchen, my ankle hurts. It really hurts."
Su Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Lu Bingchen with eyes full of grievance, "Can you carry me to the living room first?"
Su Yuan reached out to Lu Bingchen.
Mother Lu urged, "Hurry up and take her to the living room for a checkup. Stop dawdling. If your eldest brother were at home, he wouldn't want you."
Lu Bingchen remained silent and said nothing.
He just put Su Yuan's hand on his shoulder and turned to walk towards the living room.
"Butler, butler, please bring out the safflower oil."
"Yes, ma'am."
Lu Bingchen had just put Su Yuan on the sofa when the housekeeper had already taken out the safflower oil.
Mother Lu handed it to Lu Bingchen, "You're a medical student, help Yuanyuan apply the medicine. Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
After saying that, he looked at Xie Yiyi and said in a cold tone, "Yiyi, why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law? You didn't look at the road when you walked, and you bumped into your sister-in-law, causing her to sprain her foot on New Year's Eve. Don't you even say sorry?"
Xie Yiyi frowned and said in a cold tone: "I've said it three times, I didn't touch Su Yuan, she fell and sprained her ankle, it has nothing to do with me."
"Are you still stubborn?"
Mother Lu frowned, "She's your sister-in-law. You were coming down the stairs together. Even if you didn't push her, wouldn't you have helped her up if she fell?"
Xie Yiyi laughed out of anger. These past few days, following Lu Bingchen back to the Lu family had refreshed her worldview almost every day.
There are two sons in the family, but the eldest son is the sweetheart, and Lu Bingchen is like an adopted son.
The same applies to his attitude towards Su Yuan and her. Su Yuan is like the Princess and the Pea. He gets nervous at the slightest bump and is disgusted with her. If she sleeps a little longer in the morning, he will be sarcastic.
Now that Su Yuan fell down, she had to apologize to her just because she stood next to her and failed to protect her.
Xie Yiyi smiled and said, “Ms. Lu, I’m not a god. I can’t predict when Su Yuan will fall.”
"Xie Yiyi, are you still being stubborn?!"
"Lu Bingchen, this is the wife you married without even informing your family? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"If you don't apologize to Yuanyuan, get out of the Lu family and don't eat the reunion dinner!"
