Chu Tianche smoked a cigarette outside to suppress the irritability in his heart, then pushed the door open and returned to the ward.
"Xiao Ru,"
He walked to the bedside, his voice a little softer than usual, "I may have to go to the company this afternoon. Can you do it alone?"
Chen Xiaoru was flipping through a magazine boredly. When she heard this, she immediately raised her head, looked at him with clear eyes, and nodded obediently:
"It's okay, I can do it. I'm almost well now."
After lunch, Chu Tianche gave her a few worried instructions and secretly ordered someone to guard outside the ward to ensure her safety before leaving the hospital.
On the other hand, after learning that Chu Tianche had gone to the company in the afternoon, Chu's mother immediately set off for the hospital. She pushed the door open with her usual arrogant expression on her face.
Chen Xiaoru had just woken up from her nap. She was startled to see a graceful and elegant woman standing beside the bed. She blurted out:
"How could you come in without knocking? It's so scary!"
Mother Chu snorted coldly and got straight to the point:
"Tell me! How much money do you want to leave my son?"
Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, then realized this: wasn't this a classic scene from TV dramas? The wealthy woman offered her money to force her to leave the male lead. She laughed inwardly, but kept a straight face.
"How much can you give?"
Chen Xiaoru calmed herself down and asked back.
"Ten million! Take this money and get away from Tian Che immediately!"
Chu's mother took out a check from her bag and slapped it on the bedside table.
"Ten million, less"
Chen Xiaoru glanced at the check and said lightly.
"Chen Xiaoru, don't be too greedy!"
Mother Chu's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of anger, "Ten million, you will never earn that much money in your life! Don't be ungrateful!"
“Why should I be content?”
Chen Xiaoru sneered, "You're wrong. I don't need to earn money all my life. As long as I don't leave your son, I can have as much of his money as I want. Besides, it's not that I can't live without your son, it's that your son can't live without me. Why do you think he's suddenly so nice to me? It's because..."
She paused deliberately, watching Chu's mother's face become increasingly ugly, and then continued, "It's because you are pregnant with his child."
"child?"
Mother Chu seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke. Her sharp laughter echoed in the ward, piercing Chen Xiaoru's eardrums. "How dare you mention a child? Who knows whose bastard you're carrying? Your dishonest behavior has spread all over the company, and you still want to cheat my son!"
These vicious words were like sharp knives, stabbing Chen Xiaoru's heart. She sat up suddenly, her face flushed, her chest heaving violently, and glared at the woman in front of her, her voice trembling slightly with anger:
"I'm not self-disciplined? Did a dog eat your IQ? You believe everything others say. These words were told to you by Su Qing, right? Don't you know that those things were deliberately framed by Su Qing? Why, Su Qing told you to eat shit and you eat it, so obedient?"
As she spoke, she clutched the quilt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes burned with rage, as if she wanted to burn this woman who couldn't tell right from wrong to ashes.
No one had ever dared to speak to her like that. Mother Chu was so angry that she was shaking all over and raised her hand to slap Chen Xiaoru.
Before the crisp sound of "pa" could be heard, Chen Xiaoru was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She grabbed Chu's mother's arm and kicked her in the abdomen.
Mother Chu screamed in pain, stumbling backward a few steps uncontrollably before collapsing on the ground. Even her delicate makeup couldn't mask her current state of disgrace. She clutched her stomach, her face pale, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
Mother Chu's voice became hoarse due to the pain. She struggled to stand up, but found that she was powerless all over.
Chen Xiaoru looked coldly at Chu's mother, who was sitting on the ground in a mess, without a trace of warmth in her eyes:
"So what if I hit you? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are the Queen Mother? Everyone has to pamper you?"
She slowly got off the bed, stepped barefoot on the cold floor, and walked step by step to Chu's mother, looking down at her condescendingly, her eyes as cold as a poisoned blade.
"I have tolerated you for a long time,"
Chen Xiaoru's voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "When you pinched my neck, I didn't resist because I didn't want to lose my job. Now you are not related to me, why should I give in to you? Who do you think you are? Don't put on such a stinking air in front of me!"
She slowly squatted down, pinched Chu's mother's chin with her slender fingers, forced her to look up, stared at Chu's mother with a sharp gaze, and said word by word:
"You look like you're always ready to hit someone. How can you be considered a wealthy lady? You're nothing more than a shrew! Does your son know that you're such a disgrace to yourself out there?"
Chen Xiaoru paused, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and continued:
"Also, I don't understand why you insist on forcing your son to marry Su Qing? What's so good about her that makes you care so much about her? Is a black-hearted lotus worth turning against your son for? Are you getting senile?"
“You bitch, I won’t let you talk about Amelia Su like that!”
Mother Chu was touched in the sore spot and screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her voice was so sharp that it almost pierced the eardrums. "You are an orphan. What qualifications do you have to be with my son? Are you worthy? You are not even worthy of carrying Amelia Su's shoes!"
The words "bitch" and "bitch" pierced Chen Xiaoru's heart like needles. She could no longer bear it and suddenly rode on Chu's mother, slapped her hard, and roared:
"I told you not to talk dirty! I told you not to talk dirty!" Then another slap in the face, "I told you not to scold me! I told you not to scold me!" He slapped her hard on both sides.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!" The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the ward, accompanied by Chu's mother's screams, forming a strange symphony.
While beating him, Chen Xiaoru began her performance. She deliberately burst into tears, her voice shrill and desperate:
"Why are you doing this to me... What did I do wrong... Wuwuwu..."
Mother Chu was beaten so hard that she was dizzy and could only cry out for help weakly: "Help... Help..."
However, the soundproofing in the ward was so good that her cries for help could not be heard at all.
The person who was secretly protecting Chen Xiaoru was so frightened when he saw the situation in the ward that his face turned pale. He quickly took out his cell phone and called Chu Tianche.
"President, the old lady and Miss Chen are fighting." The man said in a trembling voice and an anxious tone.
On the other end of the phone, Chu Tianche was in a meeting. When he heard the news, his face darkened. He stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound, interrupting the meeting.
"Got it. I'll be there right away." Chu Tianche said, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he hung up the phone and strode out of the meeting room, leaving a room full of executives looking at each other in bewilderment.
