Chapter 75: Isn’t my dad dead?
Isn’t my dad dead?
Hearing that Wen Ruan had just left the airport, Zhong Lan comforted her on the phone.
"Don't worry, your mother isn't seriously injured. She was pushed and hit her head against the wall. We've done all the necessary tests, so it's not a big deal. It's just that this matter is a bit troublesome, so you have to handle it."
Why does she have to deal with it?
Because the person who pushed his mother was Pan Rui's mother.
On the way to the hospital, after Zhong Lan hung up the phone, Wen Ruan received another call from Pan Rui, and she roughly figured out the whole thing.
The old lady fed Guoguo sour oranges yesterday, and Zhang Tongtong got angry. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a quarrel, the old lady kept complaining of heart pain.
Pan Rui thought it was very serious and went straight to find his mother. After examining the old lady, his mother found no problems, but the old lady kept crying out in pain.
No problems were found and the old man insisted on not leaving the hospital, so he had to stay in the hospital for observation.
Zhong Lan said, "We've done all the tests on her, and they all show nothing wrong. Your mother even brought the directors of respiratory medicine and thoracic surgery over today, but they couldn't find anything wrong either."
"Ask her where it hurts specifically. She pointed to a different spot today than yesterday, and she was hesitant when asked. Your mother could tell she was pretending, but because she's your friend's mother-in-law, she couldn't be too blunt. So she found the old lady's son, Pan Rui, and asked him to persuade the old lady to leave."
Pan Rui felt very ashamed.
"It's all my fault. The old lady said she wouldn't leave the hospital unless I agreed to let Dabao go to school in Haicheng. I couldn't persuade her, and I didn't want to cause trouble for her, so I agreed."
"It's too late today. I meant to get discharged tomorrow morning. But when I went home to take a shower that night, my sister called to thank me. Tongtong answered the phone, and she got angry and came straight to the hospital to find my mom."
"By the time I had settled the two children at my friend's house and came back to the hospital, they were already arguing. I had just managed to calm them down when my friend called me, saying that Dabao had snatched his child's toy and the two were fighting. I had to go deal with that again."
"When I came back, Zhang Tongtong and my mom were fighting. My aunt was on duty tonight. When she saw my mom pulling Tongtong's hair, she went to help. My mom was angry and pushed my aunt. She didn't expect to push her down. She said she didn't use much strength."
What is the current situation at the hospital?
Zhong Lan was furious. "Your mother said the old lady was your friend's mother-in-law and she wouldn't hold her responsible. But now the old lady is holding your mother responsible, saying she was in so much pain and they couldn't even find the cause of her illness. She stayed in the hospital for two days and had all kinds of tests. She's saying we're just ripping her off."
Pan Rui felt guilty, "Wen Ruan, I'm so sorry, I will ask my mother to apologize to my aunt."
…
When Wen Ruan rushed to the hospital, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. A nurse on duty took her and He Zheng in.
The nurse was sent by Zhong Lan. She knew her identity and took her arm and told her quietly.
"The old lady got angry and insisted on seeing the dean late at night, disturbing everyone. The position of vice dean has recently become vacant in the hospital, and Director Wen has the highest number of votes. We can't allow a medical dispute to occur at this time."
The old lady lives in a single room.
Everyone is in the ward now.
The old lady was lying on the hospital bed and was temporarily persuaded by Pan Rui. She did not make any noise or trouble, but she glared at Zhang Tongtong who was sitting in front of the window from time to time. Zhang Tongtong glared back at her unwillingly. Pan Rui stood between the two of them with a very unhappy expression.
Wen Huian and Zhong Lan were sitting on the sofa by the wall. When they heard the noise coming from the door, they turned around at the same time.
When Wen Ruan came in, he first glanced at Wen Huian.
Her mother, who had always been strong in front of her, now looked haggard, with a small purple mark on her forehead.
She took one look and then looked away, walked straight towards Pan Rui, grabbed his collar and pulled hard, then pushed him hard against the wall.
Pan Rui had a chaotic night. He didn't eat, had to send his children to school, persuade his wife and mother, and apologize to everyone. He was already exhausted, and he had to stand for almost two hours.
He was almost exhausted, and Wen Ruan suddenly attacked him violently, and he had no time to react.
When she grabbed his collar and pulled him hard, his legs went weak. He was still dazed when she pushed him again, and his forehead hit the wall hard. He was dizzy and couldn't stand at all. He staggered back two steps and sat down on the ground.
There was no sound in the ward except Pan Rui's cry of pain. Everyone was stunned. No one expected Wen Ruan to suddenly take action.
until--
"Hey! You damned girl, how dare you hit my son!"
When the old lady saw her son being beaten, she reacted and exploded. She lifted the quilt and was about to pounce on Wen Ruan, but she stopped as soon as her feet touched the ground.
The man who had followed Wen Ruan in just now was now standing directly in front of her.
The man was wearing a smoky grey shirt. He was tall and slender, with well-defined brow bones. He looked at her coldly with narrow eyes. His aura of coldness and wildness revealed an untamable nature, which was very oppressive.
But he was still smiling.
"Hit your son? So what? You hit someone else's mother, and they hit your son. Isn't that fair?"
The old lady glared, "I didn't hit him, I didn't mean to. Anyway, she can't hit my son for no reason! I'm going to sue her!"
He Zheng rolled up his sleeves slowly.
"I can't hit your son, so I'll hit you. Wen Ruan respects the elders, so I didn't hit you directly. I don't have the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young."
The old lady was frightened by him and didn't dare to move. She turned around and yelled at Zhang Tongtong, "Why are you still standing there? Are you just watching your husband get beaten?"
Although Zhang Tongtong felt sorry for Pan Rui, she stood there without moving because it was Wen Ruan who beat him.
When the old lady was so angry that she was about to curse, Wen Ruan pushed He Zheng away and faced her.
"Auntie, I believe you didn't push my mom on purpose, but you want to hold her accountable on purpose. You want to use my mom to make things worse and make Pan Rui and Zhang Tongtong agree to your unreasonable demands, right?"
The old lady opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that her thoughts were seen through.
She certainly didn't push Director Wen on purpose, but she did use Director Wen to cause trouble.
She stayed there for two days and heard some young nurses chatting, saying that Director Wen was about to be promoted to vice president. At this critical moment, people should be most afraid of something happening.
Director Wen is Wen Ruan's mother. Wen Ruan and Zhang Tongtong are best friends. If she makes a big fuss, everyone will have to come to her for help.
She can control Zhang Tongtong.
The most ignorant one is her daughter-in-law. After all, Dabao is the child of their Pan family. Pan Rui earns a lot of money now and can support him. What's wrong with letting him go to school here!
Wen Ruan looked at the old lady's changing expression and said coldly:
"Auntie, I won't interfere with your family affairs no matter how you mess with them, but if you mess with my mom, the matter will never end."
"You said you have chest pains, and my mom can't find the cause, right? Okay, starting tomorrow, I'll take you to other hospitals. We'll check out every hospital in Haicheng."
"You can also choose a hospital yourself, go to North City, or go abroad. I'll pay for all the travel expenses and medical expenses. I'll accompany you personally. As long as there is a hospital that can find the cause of the disease, you can apologize to my mother in any way you want."
"But if no one can find the cause, Auntie, I'll help you find a reporter and ask you to apologize to my mother in public."
On the sofa, Zhong Lan touched Wen Hui'an's arm and said in a low voice, "Look, Ruan Ruan is protecting you so much."
Wen Hui'an pursed her lips and snorted, "She was the one who caused the trouble in the first place."
Although he said this, his eyes were always on Wen Ruan, and his expression was much more relaxed.
The old lady was shocked by Wen Ruan and didn't say anything for a long time. Pan Rui had already stood up from the ground and walked over with his hand on his forehead.
"Mom, please stop making trouble. Just apologize to Director Wen. I beg you! Please save some face for your son!"
The old lady was in a dilemma and her face turned pale and blue.
After holding it in for a long time, he said to Wen Hui'an, "Director Wen, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Wen Hui'an knew in her heart that Wen Ruan still had to take care of Zhang Tongtong. No matter how bad this old lady was, she was still Zhang Tongtong's mother-in-law, and they still had to live their lives.
So, she accepted the apology.
It was too late, and it was time to leave after everything was said. Before leaving, Wen Ruan said to the old lady:
"I remember that Auntie was seriously ill last year, and it was my mother who saved you. At that time, Pan Rui said that Auntie should come to my house to express her gratitude. But there's no need for that. How about this: when Auntie is discharged from the hospital tomorrow, please write a thank-you letter to my mother and give her a banner."
She raised her finger and pointed at Pan Rui, smiling faintly.
"Auntie is old, and she has to take care of her grandson, find fault with her daughter-in-law, and pretend to be sick. She may not have time to make a banner. You can do it. Just write 'Excellent medical skills, noble medical ethics'. The banner should be as large as possible."
Pan Rui knew in his heart that it was indeed his mother's fault tonight, and considering Wen Ruan's temper, she couldn't just let it go.
She handled it so simply because she was taking care of Tongtong. As long as she was willing to reconcile, that would be fine. Pan Rui felt guilty, so he agreed to Wen Ruan's request without hesitation.
The old lady covered her heart with her hands, this time it really hurt.
…
A doctor who lived nearby came to help Wen Huian on duty.
While she was taking over, Wen Ruan took her suitcase from the car and asked He Zheng to go back to Qingyue Mansion by himself.
"I'm going home for the next two days. I've almost finished the investment plan for Aiyue, but there are still some things that need to be revised. I'll work through the night and try to get it signed tomorrow afternoon."
Ai Yue was chosen by He Zheng. According to Minghe’s rules, projects that the boss likes do not need to go through the investment decision-making meeting, which can save a lot of processes.
He Zheng guessed that she would go home, so he didn't stop her. He leaned over with his tall figure and hugged her.
"Send me the plan and I'll revise it. You go back and have a good rest."
Wen Ruan heard the heartache in his words and was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and hugged him back, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. He."
Just after seeing He Zheng off, Wen Ruan turned around and saw Zhang Tongtong standing there with his shoulders hunched, his hands clasped in front of him, looking a little uneasy.
Wen Ruan sighed softly, walked over and hugged her.
"I know you're here to apologize. This isn't your fault. It's the old lady's fault. You don't have to apologize to me. I should apologize to you. I hit Pan Rui. You're not angry, are you?"
Zhang Tongtong burst into tears in her arms.
"No, I was just mad at myself. I should have been more patient. If I hadn't come to the hospital and made a scene, Auntie wouldn't have been hurt. Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry."
Wen Ruan waited until she had almost finished crying, then patted her shoulder.
"The old lady should be quiet recently. You should take this opportunity to have a good chat with Pan Rui. If he stands on your side regarding the child's schooling, then you can still live together. If he sides with his mother, then you should consider divorce."
Guoguo was still at Pan Rui's friend's house, and Zhang Tongtong couldn't stay any longer. Wen Ruan called a car for her and touched her face before leaving.
"I'll sign the Aiyue contract right away. Once it's signed, He Zheng's house will be sold to me. If you find it hard to stay at home, you can bring Guoguo and move in with me. I can support you both."
Zhang Tongtong burst into tears and said, "Okay."
…
It was almost three in the morning when I got home.
Although Wen Hui'an's injury was not serious, he was exhausted after struggling for a long time.
Zhong Lan followed her and told her to go back to her room and sleep first, and they would talk about it tomorrow.
After she closed the door, Zhong Lan's spirit collapsed. She turned around and held Wen Ruan's hand, her tone full of guilt.
"It's my fault too. I had an argument with her this morning and she got mad. She didn't eat lunch and then had surgery all afternoon, so she didn't eat dinner either. That's why she lost her balance when the old lady pushed her."
Wen Ruan took her to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of water.
"You quarreled with my mother? What was it about?"
In Wen Ruan's memory, Zhong Lan had a very good temper and was like an angel. She was her mother's best friend and always indulged her mother's bad temper and gave in to her in everything.
Fight in the morning?
She seemed to have made her mother angry in the morning, and her mother must have taken out her anger on Aunt Lan.
Wen Ruan was about to speak when she heard Zhong Lan say, "She heard you were on a business trip with He Zheng and snatched my phone away. I snatched it back and hung up, and she was about to call you."
"I tried to persuade her a few times, but she wouldn't listen at all. I got anxious and said I was going to take you to North City and find your father..."
Zhong Lan suddenly stopped talking.
She turned to look at Wen Ruan, and saw that Wen Ruan was looking at her with a gloomy gaze.
"My dad? Aunt Lan, isn't my dad dead?"
