Chapter 229 Accidental Injury
This farce was ended only because of Xu Wanshan's intervention.
Xu Wanshan looked at the smashed items inside, some of which were cultural relics that needed to be repaired. His eyebrows twitched violently. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He walked forward and helped Xu Qingsui up from the ground. Looking at the bruises on her forehead and the bruises near her eyes, he was so angry that he could not hold back and asked in a cold voice, "Who hit you?"
Zhang Mei threw the punch, but she was unwilling to admit it: "It wasn't me anyway!"
Xu Wanshan's gaze turned to Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng lowered his head guiltily: "Senior Sister, I'm sorry."
Xu Qingsui shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"You two, come to my office?" Xu Wanshan supported Xu Qingsui and walked out of the crowd. Xu Wanshan said to the group of people watching the show, "You don't need to go to work, right?"
The group of people instantly scattered like birds and beasts, each doing their own thing.
After closing the office door, Xu Wanshan got mad, which was unusual for him: "What do you think this place is? Who started this?"
Tang Cheng was the first to speak: "She was so foul-mouthed, she cursed Senior Sister Xu, I was so angry that I said something back to her, and she slapped me in the face. I'm not someone who can be easily bullied, so I slapped her in the face as well, and then we started fighting."
Xu Wanshan looked at the injuries on Tang Cheng's body, especially his fair face, which had not only a slap mark on it, but also many scratches. If not handled properly, it would probably leave scars and disfigurement. It was obvious that Zhang Mei had meant to kill him.
On the other hand, Zhang Mei was intact except for her messy hair style, without any scars, which showed that Tang Cheng had left her some room for maneuver.
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Mei argued, "When did I scold her? I was just telling the truth, and you were the first to hit me. Didn't you just want to vent your anger on Xu Qingsui? You guys are bullying me alone!"
Tang Cheng also gained some experience. It was the first time he met such a person who confuses right and wrong, and he was his colleague!
"The truth of the matter is not up to me or you. Right and wrong are hard to tell now. But luckily, there are surveillance cameras, so let's check it out."
As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Zhang Mei, who had been so confident, suddenly changed her expression: "What are you checking? Do you think this is a place where you can check the surveillance cameras at will?"
The leftists are trying to hide their true intentions here, making it instantly clear to anyone with a discerning eye who is lying.
Xu Wanshan said to Zhang Mei, "You don't want to make a big deal out of this, do you? If your father knew about this, you would definitely be punished."
Zhang Mei burst into tears immediately because of grievance: "Xu Wanshan, my father gave me to you to take care of me, not to let you bully me!"
"I'm really sorry. I can't take care of you. I'll call your father right away. From now on, you can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
As soon as Xu Wanshan said this, Zhang Mei panicked instantly. She pulled his arm and said, "You can't do this to me. I...just think that I was wrong about this matter. Don't say you don't care about me!"
"Then you apologize to Xu Qingsui and Tang Cheng." Xu Wanshan said.
Zhang Mei's eyes widened with anger, and she asked in disbelief, "You want me to apologize to them? Are you kidding me? They deserve it, right? Shouldn't they be the ones to apologize to me?"
Xu Wanshan shook his head in disappointment: "In the past, I thought you were spoiled and a little willful, but your character was still good. But today, I have a different opinion of you."
"It seems that I am not suitable to work in this museum. I will terminate the contract with your father immediately. You can do whatever you want in the future."
Xu Wanshan's attitude of giving up the job instantly scared Zhang Mei.
She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said stiffly to Xu Qingsui and Tang Cheng: "I'm sorry."
Even her apology was so condescending, even if it was not willing, there was no one in this world who could make her apologize with a single hand.
"I've already apologized, and let's just forget about this matter." Zhang Mei glared at Xu Qingsui, and without waiting for Xu Wanshan to speak, she slammed the door and left the office.
"I see that both of you are seriously injured. Go to the hospital first and we will deal with this matter tomorrow." After Xu Wanshan finished speaking, he picked up the car keys and walked out of the office. His back looked a little lonely.
This was somewhat different from the Xu Wanshan that Xu Qingsui knew. In her memory, although he was a very gentle and polite person, he had a set of principles in dealing with people.
It was obvious that what happened today had gone beyond his principles, but he chose to keep silent.
As if seeing her confusion, Tang Cheng said: "Senior sister, don't blame me for not punishing Zhang Mei. It's not because he is afraid of the director's power, but because Zhang Mei's father was very kind to him, so..."
Although Tang Cheng didn't finish his words, Xu Qingsui already understood the meaning behind them.
It turned out to be to repay a favor.
She nodded: "I'm fine, it was just an accidental injury. You're the one who's injured more seriously, especially your face. You need to take good care of it, otherwise you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future if you get scars."
Tang Cheng was instantly amused: "Senior Sister, you don't need to worry about me. I already have a girlfriend. If nothing goes wrong, the process will be arranged by the end of this year."
"Really?" Xu Qingsui said happily: "Congratulations, I don't know which daughter is so lucky to find such a handsome boyfriend like you."
Tang Cheng scratched his hair shyly: "I am more blessed."
It seems that he really likes his girlfriend.
The two went to the hospital and the doctor checked Xu Qingsui's injuries. The doctor said that Xu Qingsui's injuries were not serious and that the bruises on the corners of his eyes would be fine after a week of applying hot water every day.
Tang Cheng's injuries were all superficial, except for the nail marks on his face which were a bit troublesome, so he had to be careful not to leave scars.
After coming out of the hospital, Xu Wanshan gave the two of them a day off: "You two go back first and don't go to work today. I'll go back and deal with the office atmosphere and have a meeting tomorrow morning."
In order not to waste Xu Wanshan's time, Xu Qingsui refused his offer to see him off and took a taxi back home.
At this time, Aunt Wang was cleaning the house.
"Madam, you're back?" When Aunt Wang opened the door, she noticed the wound on her face and was immediately frightened. She asked quickly, "Madam, what happened to you?"
Xu Qingsui shook his head: "It's okay, I just bumped into it accidentally."
Aunt Wang had plenty of life experience, and she knew at first glance that the injury was caused by someone being beaten.
It was just that she didn't want to ask about the master's family's affairs: "I'll get you an egg for a hot compress, wait a moment." After saying that, Aunt Wang went to the kitchen.
Xu Qingsui came to the bathroom and looked at his face in the mirror. The bruises seemed to be spreading wider and wider. He wondered what would happen if Huo Xilin saw it in the afternoon.
