Chapter 6
Zhao Qian's parents didn't know how serious it was to beat Chunxi, but the head of the Zhao family knew it, and the Guan family behind Zhao Qian's mother knew it.
"Oh, didn't she just fight with a classmate and hurt him? It's not a big deal. It's normal for children to get hurt while playing." Zhao Qian's mother Guan Yun admired her manicure done in the afternoon while sitting on the sofa with disdain for the nagging and doomsday-like reaction of Guan's parents.
"What's the big deal? Do you know whose child your daughter beat up?" Guan Yun's father asked.
"Isn't he just that wild child from the Fu family? What's the big deal?" Guan Yun still had a look of disdain on his face. As for Fu Chanwei from the Fu family, she was of the same generation as her, but all the parents were talking about how outstanding and capable Fu Chanwei was. So what no matter how capable she was? Didn't she do something shameless and gave birth to a wild child?
Guan's father felt like he was going to die of anger. He pointed at Guan Yun with a trembling finger and looked at his wife: "Look, Yunyun was taught by you to be so ignorant. Don't say that Fu Chunxi is not a wild child. Even if she is, the Fu family is not something we can afford to provoke. They are all outstanding and hold important positions and power. Besides, Fu Chunxi's biological father is here now. That is the DuPont family, a well-established American economy. He also signed a big project with the upper management through the Fu family. He also wants to marry Fu Chanwei and the two families will be married. Now the most popular family in front of the upper management is the Fu family. Why do you want to provoke the Fu family when you can't provoke anyone else? Huh?!"
Guan Yun sat up straight: "The father of that wild child came to our house? He is an American upper class? And he wants Fu Chanwei? How lucky is Fu Chanwei? How come she always encounters good things?"
"Don't think about this for now. Instead, you should worry about what we should do now that such a big thing has happened!" Guan's father said with a disappointed look on his face.
"What are you worried about? Zhao Qian's last name is Zhao, and she is the Zhao family's child. If there is any worry, it should be the Zhao family. Why should we worry?" Guan Yun didn't care about the life or death of his daughter Zhao Qian at all. He only cared about the child he had with his true love outside: "Dad, what do you think about what I told you last time?"
Guan's father asked unhappily, "What are you thinking about?"
Guan Yun sat up straight. "It's about bringing Chengcheng and Tongtong back home to raise. Yang Hua's parents are too uncultured. I'm afraid that I'll raise my Chengcheng and Tongtong to be rustic country folks like them. It's better to bring them back home and let Chengcheng and Tongtong take my last name. This way, our family will have descendants, okay?"
It was indeed a problem that Guan's father had no son, but he could let his two children take his daughter's surname, especially since Chengcheng was a boy, which was exactly what Guan's father wanted.
Let’s put aside the Guan family’s affairs for now. The Zhao family was much more knowledgeable than the Guan family. The head of the Zhao family immediately took gifts and the child who had just been released on bail to the hospital to apologize to Chunxi, but Chunxi’s condition was not good at that time.
Zhao Qian's blow was too heavy, not only leaving a long gash on the back of Chunxi's head that required more than a dozen stitches, but also causing Chunxi to suffer a mild concussion. Doctors said that children with mild concussions will experience sequelae such as persistent headaches, vomiting, dizziness, mental tension, retrograde amnesia, etc. after waking up, and will cause irreversible changes and damage to certain organs of the brain.
The extent of the injury and the recovery are still unknown. Further examination and diagnosis can only be carried out after the child wakes up.
Knowing that Chunxi was injured, Fu Zhengkun, Chunxi's uncle Fu Yingrun, second uncle Fu Yingzhen, eldest cousin Fu Zihuai, and third cousin Fu Ziye who were in Beijing all came, and the female members of these families also came. Chunxi is still in the ICU and needs to be observed overnight before she can be transferred to the general ward. No one has any good feelings towards Zhao Qian, this cruel and ruthless child, and the Zhao family. So even though the Zhao family came to apologize, everyone gave the Zhao family a good look.
The Fu family had deep and extensive connections, and among its female relatives there were both members of aristocratic families and outstanding commoners. For example, Fu Yingmao's wife Xu Lan was a university professor, and Xu Lan's parents were also university professors. But my great uncle Fu Yingrun’s wife is from a noble family, the daughter of the Liang family.
Most of the Liang family’s power is in the Public Security Bureau.
In fact, Chunxi was injured so badly. If the person who hurt her was not a five-year-old kid like Zhao Qian, she would have to pay a price if she was a little older. But Zhao Qian was only a five-year-old child, and the Fu family didn't want to be mean to a child who didn't understand much.
The father has to pay for the son’s debt. If Zhao Qian can’t bear it, then let the Zhao family take over.
But the most urgent task now is how to make Chunxi better and not leave any irreversible sequelae. When the Fu family is free, it will be the Zhao family's turn for the worse.
No one paid any attention to them. The Zhao family was just asking for trouble here, so they stayed for a while and said a few polite words before going back. After such a big incident, it is conceivable that Zhao Qian's future life will not be easy. It just depends on how sad Zhao Qian can be.
Chunxi's condition was unclear, and it was not a good idea for a group of people to wait together. David and Fu Chanwei, who had already sorted themselves out, asked the elders and brothers to go home and they just stayed here to guard.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and David and Fu Chanwei sat on the lounge chairs in the corridor outside the ICU, leaning against each other, holding each other's hands tightly, feeling anxious. They checked out Chunxi's condition, and it was really bad. The MRI showed that there was a blood clot in Chunxi's brain. It wasn't compressing any nerves now, but once she wakes up and moves around, the blood clot will also move, and it's hard to say where it will compress. Compression of the optic nerve may cause blindness, compression of the language nerve may cause aphasia, and compression of the Wernicke's area may cause sensory aphasia. These possibilities are too many and too scary, so it is best to perform a craniotomy as soon as possible after waking up to solve the problem of free blood stasis.
It was very frustrating and heartbreaking for Chunxi to have to undergo such a major surgery when she was only five years old.
Moreover, China does not have a complete grasp of craniotomy, a major surgery that requires extreme precision. Chunxi is too small, and if the precision is not as high as possible, it is easy to damage other organs and cause other problems.
David has already contacted a doctor, trying to resolve this fatal hidden danger for Chunxi as soon as possible.
As the sky was getting light, Fu Chanwei fell asleep leaning on David, but David had not slept all night and was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat, as if I had some mysterious feeling. David opened his eyes and carefully let Fu Chanwei lean on the back of the chair to continue sleeping. He stood up and looked into the ICU. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Chunxi's eyes twitching slightly and her hands moving slightly. David quickly called a doctor to conduct further examination on Xiao Chunxi.
Sure enough, soon after Chunxi woke up, she developed sequelae of a mild concussion. She began to vomit and had a persistent headache. Little Chunxi was not a crying child. Usually, when she cried, it meant that she was really in pain. But now little Chunxi kept sobbing and saying with tears in her eyes, "Mom and Dad, I feel so bad." Fu Chanwei's heart was broken. When Chunxi cried, Fu Chanwei cried too.
David, a grown man, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes as he held Chunxi, who was crying non-stop. While holding Chunxi and kissing her forehead to comfort her, he silently remembered the Zhao family, the culprit, in his heart. Chunxi's eldest cousin Fu Zihuai, who had just arrived, couldn't help but get angry when he saw this scene. Little Chunxi was so young and so well-behaved, but she was hit on the head by that dead kid from the Zhao family for no reason, and now she is suffering so much. He must avenge Xiao Chunxi!
Chunxi's condition has improved with the help of the doctor. At least she no longer feels nauseous and vomits all the time, but she still feels a dull headache from time to time.
Chunxi was very well-behaved and endured it silently, not making her parents worry anymore. But Chunxi's rank is what, and David's rank is what, they can tell at a glance that their daughter is still very uncomfortable but just doesn't say it, which makes David feel even more distressed for his little angel-like daughter.
After another examination, the doctor told David that he had to prepare for surgery immediately because the blood clot had begun to move slowly and was approaching the optic nerve. If left unchecked, Chunxi would completely lose her eyesight in half a month.
After hearing what the doctor said, David's face turned pale and he walked out of the doctor's office silently, turned into the fire escape, and made a phone call to the other side of the ocean.
"Teresa..." After the call was connected, David was silent for a long time and finally spoke before the other party thought it was a prank and was about to hang up the phone.
"David? Why are you calling me? Oh my God, are you doing well?" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed very surprised after hearing David's voice, and asked many questions in a hurry.
"That's enough. It was you who abandoned me in the first place. Now stop pretending to care about me, okay?" David seemed to be recalling the past, and his voice sounded a little cruel.
"I'm sorry, David... I'm sorry, I didn't know it would hurt you so much. You have to understand that I love you very much." The woman on the other end of the phone cried and seemed to be overwhelmed with grief.
"Okay, I have something serious to talk to you about this time." David ended this unpleasant topic and got to the point.
"What's up?"
"I want you to have an operation."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before he continued, "You know I haven't touched a scalpel for a long time."
"This time is different. This is someone very important to me, very important." David said helplessly, "Can't you make an exception for me?"
"I won't make an exception for anyone. I made my decision the moment I gave up the scalpel." A sigh came from the other end of the phone, and David's request was still rejected.
"What if this person is your granddaughter?" David's words were like a bomb that exploded in Theresa's heart...
