"Madam, Madam is still in the emergency room! Someone needs to look after her here. Please look after the child. I'll rush back as soon as Madam is out of here."
The nanny sent Xu Xiuzhen a voice message.
However, instead of understanding, she was met with insults.
[Get this straight, it's not that bitch paying your salary, it's my son! You're getting back here in half an hour to take care of the kid, or you're not coming back at all! And don't expect your salary!]
Upon reading the text message, the nanny felt a wave of dizziness.
Just then, she heard someone calling for Su Mu's family. Thinking that Su Mu had come out, she quickly went upstairs.
To her surprise, the doctor handed her a bunch of consent forms and asked her to sign them.
The nanny was terrified: "I... I'm just her nanny, I can't sign anything."
The doctor was also terrified. In all his years of medical practice, this was the first time he had ever seen a critically ill patient brought in, and the person waiting at the door was the caregiver.
"Then you should call her family right away!"
"If I could shout, would I still be here?" the nanny said, feeling wronged.
The doctor said anxiously, "If you can't get her family to come, I'll call the police."
"Report it, report it now. If you don't report it, I'll report it myself."
Then Uncle Hat arrived, and the doctor proceeded with the emergency treatment as usual.
I asked the nanny about the situation and took her statement. I also took her back to Yunxijian.
As soon as the nanny entered the room, Xu Xiuzhen rushed down from the second floor and threw the child in her arms to the nanny.
Just as he was about to take out paper and pen to scold her, he noticed the man in the hat following behind the nanny.
She raised her hand and slapped the nanny across the face.
"Ah! Ahhhhh!" Xu Xiuzhen pointed at Uncle Hat and raised her hand again to slap the nanny's face.
The nanny had a child in her arms and couldn't use her hands to block the view, so she could only turn her face to the side and try to avoid it.
Fortunately, Uncle Hat was quick and grabbed Xu Xiuzhen's hand.
"Ugh! Ah!" Xu Xiuzhen struggled to pull her hand back.
"I know you can't speak, but that's not an excuse for you to hit people at will! If you dare to lay a hand on someone again, we'll take official action!"
Xu Xiuzhen nodded, and Uncle Hat finally let go of her hand.
Then, as is customary, I presented my identification and began taking a statement.
The questions asked were similar to those asked of the nanny, all concerning the incident in which Su Mu was beaten.
Xu Xiuzhen angrily wrote on the paper: How can this be considered personal injury? She is my daughter-in-law, and she started it! She hit my son first, scratching his face and neck raw.
They even pulled out a huge clump of my hair! Look at the top of my head, a piece of skin has peeled off!
Xu Xiuzhen parted her hair, revealing the scabs on her head.
Then he showed everyone the bloodstains on his face, neck, hands, and shoulders.
Uncle Hat seemed used to this kind of scene, and he made notes without any expression.
While Xu Xiuzhen was gesticulating wildly as she complained, Liao Nanxing was also "invited" down.
The two were then taken to a police car.
Xu Xiuzhen naively thought that once they gave their statements, they could go home.
When she heard that someone was needed to sign a guarantee, she realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
Liao Nanxing is also struggling to find a guarantor.
In the past, if he made a simple phone call, many people would stand up for him.
But now, he has no resources left to exchange with others, so who would bother with the trouble of caring about a useless person?
After much deliberation, Liao Nanxing borrowed Uncle Hat's phone and dialed the number he had memorized for over twenty years.
After a long wait, a long-lost, languid voice came from the other end.
Perhaps it's because we've been living in chaos for too long, but hearing Zhou Chunhua's voice now feels incredibly comforting.
It felt like they had gone back to the past.
"Chunhua, it's me." Liao Nanxing scratched his messy hair.
"Liao Nanxing!" Zhou Chunhua exclaimed in surprise, "Are you getting Alzheimer's? Just a heads up, your wife is Su Mu. Please call her if you need anything, don't keep calling me!"
"Chunhua, I really need your help with something, could you please..."
"No! She's busy!"
Upon hearing the sudden sound, Liao Nanxing even stopped breathing.
Gu Yao?! How could Gu Yao be with Zhou Chunhua? After checking the time and confirming it was 5:43, Liao Nanxing felt as if her heart had plummeted into an abyss.
So Zhou Chunhua really is living with Gu Yao?
Are they really together?
Lost in thought, I heard Gu Yao say, "I'm hanging up. Don't bother her again, or you'll regret it..."
"Wait! Gu Yao! What's your relationship with her? What exactly is going on between you two...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Zhou Chunhua's voice coming from the other end at the same time.
"Gu Yao, stop fooling around."
"No fuss, it's the same if I talk to him."
What did you say to him?
“Of course I have something to say. I am your lawyer, and I have the right to warn him to stop harassing my client.”
To Liao Nanxing, the sound of Gu Yao and Zhou Chunhua arguing was just lovers playfully bickering and showing affection.
Liao Nanxing stared with bloodshot eyes, feeling as if all the energy had been drained from her body.
He didn't even know when the call was disconnected.
Uncle Hat wanted to take his phone back and nudged him a few times before he snapped out of his daze.
After returning the phone, Liao Nanxing's mouth was full of bitterness, and he even rubbed his face in pain.
"Stop spacing out and get someone to sign. Your mother's throwing a tantrum over there, making it impossible for us to work properly. Let me tell you, if she keeps this up, we're going to handcuff her. If it weren't for her age, I would have handcuffed her to a chair already."
Professor, my foot! Don't you know that domestic violence is illegal? I really don't know what you learned! You're supposed to be a highly educated person, and your wife risked her life to give birth to your child, how could you do that to her?!
"Someone like you is a professor? Humph! To put it bluntly, you're worse than an animal."
Uncle in the hat left the interrogation room cursing.
Liao Nanxing was in a daze when she took out her phone and called Lin Zhehan.
Lin Zhehan, being sentimental, quickly arrived.
Looking at Liao Nanxing, who was disheveled and covered in blood, Lin Zhehan almost didn't recognize him.
"Old Liao, what happened to you that you got into this state?"
Feeling deeply ashamed, Liao Nanxing lowered his head in remorse.
"Oh, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
As Lin Zhehan signed the papers, he said, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you go to find Teacher Shao?"
“I did find someone. And as the teacher said, I took all the blame myself and saved the school's reputation. But I don't know why, the teacher called me just a few minutes ago and said that the matter was over.”
But... I don't understand why the teacher lied to me? She clearly promised to protect me, but in the end, I was still expelled.
At this point, Liao Nanxing clenched his fist in resentment.
"It must be because of Gu Yao again!" He would never forget that day when Gu Yao said on the phone that he would do anything to kill him.
