"Doctor, how is my third brother?" Jiang Pengyue grabbed the surgeon's arm and asked anxiously.
Swish, swish, swish.
The Jiang family all looked at the doctor.
After the surgery, Jiang Jiuhe was moved to a ward under supervision. The police are in constant contact with him, and his family is not allowed to visit him until the case becomes clear.
The doctor sighed.
"Comrade Jiang was seriously injured. His hands and feet were comminuted fractures. The doctors performed surgery to put his bones back in place, but his kneecaps were shattered and his nerves were necrotic. Even if he survives, he will be disabled for life... We did our best."
*Smack*
A bolt of lightning struck down every member of the Jiang family!
"No, no, doctor, my son was just pushed and shoved by a few people, how could he be crippled? He's the most promising child in the Jiang family, he can't be crippled, he can't—"
Jiang Mingda stepped forward, grabbed the doctor by the collar, and roared wildly.
Gu Meiyun covered her face and wept.
Jiang Hejun and Jiang She both looked sad.
Jiang Pengyue nearly fainted.
She could hardly believe her ears and rushed over, shouting, "My third brother is exceptionally healthy! He once fell from the third floor and miraculously survived. Everyone says he's a lucky man. How could this happen? You're lying, you're lying—"
Jiang Jiuhe is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
He fell from the third floor when he was young, but after half a month of recuperation, he was back to his energetic self.
Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future.
As expected, Jiang Jiuhe lived up to expectations and was valued by the organization all the way. At a young age, he rose to the level of a full-fledged department head. With just a little push, his future was limitless.
In the eyes of the Jiang family, Jiang Jiuhe is destined to rise to the pinnacle of power.
He is a rising star in Haicheng!
Such extraordinary talent must be a favorite of heaven.
How could he be crippled?
How could this be??
God.
That's too cruel.
The doctor, under pressure, explained: "A stampede is an extremely serious incident. If the terrain is unusual, surviving is incredibly lucky..."
The Jiang family refused to accept it.
No matter how the doctors present the facts and reason with them, in their hearts: doctors are incompetent!
Xu Manzhi clicked her tongue repeatedly.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this group of people seemed to have forgotten something important.
Jiang Jiuhe survived.
He will also face an unavoidable lawsuit.
My future is ruined.
She still remembers Jiang Jiuhe saying that unless Xu Manzhi dies, he should not be bothered by anything else.
Good.
You don't need to contact him anymore.
"What's with that expression? He's your third brother, your own flesh and blood. Are you laughing? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Gu Meiyun inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Manzhi's slightly upturned lips.
He had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it.
Xu Manzhi became a sitting duck.
"I won't let you get away with this, or I'll disown you!"
As Gu Meiyun spoke, she lunged at Xu Manzhi, but before she could grab her, a figure blocked her way and tightly hugged her waist.
“Mom, you’re mistaken. Manzhi has smiling eyes. Even if she’s not smiling, she looks like she’s smiling,” Jiang Pengyue argued.
"No, no, she was clearly smiling."
"She's a complete ingrate. She was in my belly for ten months, a debt of gratitude as great as the heavens. We even brought her back to Haicheng. Is this how she repays the Jiang family?"
"I will not allow it until I tear her face to shreds today!"
Gu Meiyun wouldn't listen.
She just wanted to vent, she just wanted to strangle the bastard to death so that she could alleviate the pain caused by her youngest son.
After saying that, Gu Meiyun suddenly pulled away from Jiang Pengyue's arm and pounced on Xu Manzhi like a ferocious tiger—
Xu Manzhi neither dodged nor avoided.
A hint of provocation flashed in her eyes, and a smile of mockery and pleasure played on her lips.
Come on, come on.
Let the damage come even more fiercely.
That's how she managed to take advantage of the chaos... to cause trouble.
This is her favorite way of fighting when she's bored while wandering through the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
To quell chaos with chaos.
Snap—
Suddenly, a loud slap rang out.
Everyone was stunned.
Because... it wasn't Xu Manzhi who was beaten.
It was Gu Meiyun.
Gu Meiyun covered her cheek, looking at her daughter Jiang Pengyue with disappointment, trembling as she said, "Yueyue, you, you actually hit me? Are you crazy?"
Thump.
Jiang Pengyue knelt down once again.
Tears streaming down her face as she kowtowed, she explained tearfully, "Mom, I just wanted you to calm down. Third Brother's accident has affected everyone, and I know you're heartbroken. But the Jiang family still has me. My eldest and second brothers are your successors; with their accumulated experience and potential, and with me marrying into the Zhou family, they too can rise to great heights..."
"I'm sorry, I had no choice. I was afraid you'd hurt yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame me. You can hit me or yell at me, I won't blame you, sob sob sob—"
After saying that, she rushed over and hugged Gu Meiyun's legs, pleading and crying.
That's really touching.
Xu Manzhi almost cried.
She was planning to take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble in the Jiang family, drag everyone down with her, and then crush Gu Meiyun's bones so that she would also have to lie in bed.
Jiang Pengyue's slap disrupted her plans.
“I don’t blame you. Let’s go home first. I won’t give up. Even if I have to send Jiuhe to Beijing for treatment, I will make sure his legs are healed.” Gu Meiyun pulled her daughter up.
But the tenderness in her eyes had faded.
Jiang Mingda stepped forward and hugged his wife, saying with heartache, "Let's go home first. As long as you're alive, there's always a way to solve the problem."
Jiang Hejun and Jiang She stepped forward, pulled their kneeling sister up, and walked away with her on either side.
In the empty corridor, only Xu Manzhi remained, ignored by everyone.
She's quite numb.
The Jiang family were the original owner's relatives. Being disliked, ignored, used, and abused by relatives should make the original owner sad and upset, not Xu Manzhi who came from the apocalypse.
