After the maid brought lunch up at noon, Liu Lingyi ate with her in the room, and they discussed the hospital in the west of the city together.
“The Pei family has a stake in Chunlin Hospital in the west of the city. We can call Asui or Ayu and ask them to arrange a ward for you and have one of their top experts examine you…”
She spoke of everything so matter-of-factly, but Gu Ci felt a little impatient.
She could see that the Pei family was now cold towards the Gu family, and the person who hit her was Pei Sui's girlfriend. Now she was calling them for help, which was no different from humiliating herself.
When will her mother finally see reality and stop being so naive?
"Mom, this isn't urgent. I don't want outsiders to see me like this; wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"
She lowered her eyelids to hide the impatience in her eyes, and tried to speak gently. She raised her hand to cover her cheek, "I'm fine now, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Don't we have a family doctor at home?"
Liu Lingyi's eyes were filled with heartache as she reached out and touched her head. "It's all that damned Meng Sheng's fault! Look what he did to your face! It won't heal for at least half a month, and look at your hand..."
Gu Ci gently shook her head, "Mom, don't worry, let's call my sister first. My phone is dead, and I'm worried about her not coming back yet."
"Your sister?" Liu Lingyi was taken aback. "Your sister picked you up today? She didn't even tell me."
She frowned and said worriedly, "I felt so bad last night. My hands hurt, my face hurt, my chest felt tight, and I couldn't breathe. So I called my sister. She came over around 8 p.m. last night. She was very angry when she found out that Meng Sheng had hit her. She said last night that she was going to confront Meng Sheng, but I stopped her."
However, this morning after completing the discharge procedures, when I was about to leave, she said she forgot something and told me to go ahead. I didn't think much of it at the time, but she hasn't come back yet. I suspect she probably went to see Meng Sheng. Meng Sheng is a very cunning person. My sister is too naive. I'm afraid she might not have calculated things properly and end up being used by Meng Sheng, or suffering a loss. Mom, please call my sister quickly and ask her where she is now.
Liu Lingyi frowned as well, "Your sister is too impulsive. Can she be a match for that slippery Meng Sheng? But she's just worried about you and wants to avenge you. I'll call her now, don't rush."
The first time I called, the phone rang for over thirty seconds without anyone answering.
Liu Lingyi patiently played it a second time.
The same thing happened the second time; no one answered.
She didn't think much of it and put her phone down. "They're probably busy or eating. They'll call back when they see my call. Let's eat first. If they don't call back, I'll call them back."
Gu Ci nodded.
At this moment, she never expected things to escalate so much, and that Gu Qinglian would actually be detained.
After dinner, the servants cleared the table, and Gu Ci applied an ice pack to her face. Liu Lingyi finally got through to Gu Qinglian on the phone.
"Hey, Qinglian, where are you? Why aren't you back yet? Aci is really worried about you."
The last syllable was barely a whisper when a strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you Gu Qinglian's mother?"
Liu Lingyi was taken aback, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Gu Ci. Liu Lingyi's voice immediately became tense, "Who are you? Why do you have my daughter's phone? Where is my daughter? What have you done to her?"
"Mrs. Gu, please don't worry. This is the Chengnan Police Station of Beijing. I am a police officer, and my badge number is... Gu Qinglian has been detained for 15 days and fined 20,000 yuan for disorderly conduct, refusing to cooperate with the police investigation, verbally abusing the police, and assaulting the police. Please be aware of this."
The reason why these three days suddenly turned into 15 days of luxurious prison life was purely due to Gu Qinglian's own ignorance and arrogance.
After Meng Sheng and Pei Sui left, Gu Qinglian realized that she would be detained for three days. During those three days, she would not be able to eat what she wanted, and brushing her teeth, washing her face, and taking a shower would all be problems. She also couldn't use her phone. Just thinking about it made her feel like she was going crazy, so she immediately pointed at the policeman's nose and started cursing.
She's never been very polite to begin with, and when she gets angry, she says the most offensive things.
After verbally abusing the police officer until he was red in the face and shouting, and being warned twice to shut up, Gu Qinglian actually slapped the officer across the face. She was then charged with assaulting a police officer and was pinned to the ground by two officers, her face practically scraped off.
The police didn't mince words with her; they'd been putting up with her for a long time anyway.
After that, Gu Qinglian became obedient, like a quail, only able to mutter curses under her breath, not daring to curse loudly anymore, afraid that her detention would be extended from fifteen days to a month, and she would really go crazy.
At noon, she was still demanding that a lawyer come to bail her out, but the police refused bail on the grounds of assaulting an officer. They were originally planning to notify her family in the afternoon.
Liu Lingyi's call came at just the right time.
Liu Lingyi and Gu Ci were stunned by what the police said, their faces blank and their eyes filled with disbelief.
How could she have assaulted a police officer in just a few hours?
Didn't she go and cause trouble for Meng Sheng?
"Isn't there some misunderstanding? My daughter usually has a very good personality and speaks softly. How could she assault a police officer or cause trouble?"
Upon hearing this, the policeman on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes and couldn't help but sneer, "She has a very good personality?"
Others are blinded by greed, but this Mrs. Gu is even more so, she's practically blinded by greed.
If her daughter has a good personality and speaks softly, then there is no one in the world with a good personality.
It's absolutely outrageous that they opened the door for their outrageous mother; it's utterly outrageous.
"If she had a good personality, her detention wouldn't have gone from three days to 15 days." The police officer didn't bother to say anything more. Gu Qinglian's personality was actually a good contrast to the Gu family's excellent family traditions.
If a daughter is so unreasonable, how can you expect to reason with the parents who gave birth to her, raised her, and taught her?
Can that be explained logically?
I'm afraid they won't understand a few words.
After saying that, the policeman hung up the phone.
