Su Xingran returned to the Huang family home, and Huang Zhenhua, who opened the door for her, was somewhat surprised. "Xingran, why are you back? Didn't you say you had an exam tomorrow? Mo Li came to find Xiaoxue earlier and said she hadn't gone home yet. Did she come back with you?"
As Su Xingran walked in, she said to Huang Zhenhua, "Master, I have an exam tomorrow and won't be going home tonight. I felt uneasy thinking about what happened at the department store last week. I followed Sister-in-law Xiaoxue out of the school and found out she had an accident on the way."
"I checked her over and found some injuries on her back, and her knees were bruised. I'm coming back now to get some medicinal wine to apply to her. Master, I'll talk to you about it when I have time. I'm going to get the medicinal wine. Don't leave the door open for me tonight. I see it's early and I'm going back to school. If it gets late, I'll just stay at the Gu family's place for the night."
Huang Zhenhua hadn't expected this to happen, and he didn't necessarily need to know the cause of the incident. "Go get it quickly! If you need to go back to school tonight, have Mo Li take you home. Don't go alone, okay? Also, have you had dinner yet? I'm home alone, and I've already eaten."
"Master, don't worry, I know. It's alright. I'll just eat something at the Gu family's place later. They haven't eaten yet." After saying that, Su Xingran went back to her room to get the medicinal wine.
At the police station, based on Su Xingran's account, Gu Moli told the police it was a robbery. The three men were so badly injured they couldn't even speak. The police couldn't get any information out of them and could only do as Gu Moli instructed.
When Gu Moli returned home, Su Xingran was in the room applying medicated wine to Xiao Xue. The medicated wine stung, and Xiao Xue was in so much pain that she could hardly sit up.
Su Xingran reached out and pressed on Xiao Xue's shoulder, "The back part will be done soon, Sister-in-law Xiao Xue, please bear with it for a little while."
After applying the liniment to her back, Su Xingran then helped wipe her knees. Xiao Xue watched Su Xingran squatting on the ground applying the liniment. She reached out and touched Su Xingran's hair, "Xingran, are you this nice to everyone? I feel like you're always protecting others. Don't you feel tired?"
Su Xingran didn't look up and continued rubbing the medicinal wine. "No, I won't be nice to everyone. I'll only be nice to those who are truly kind to me. I'll protect the people I want to protect to the best of my ability, and I won't feel tired. It's good to have someone to protect you, and it's good to be protected by others."
Xiao Xue remained silent. She could sense the wistful tone in Su Xingran's voice when she spoke. Xiao Xue felt that sincerity begetted sincerity; she didn't have a younger sister, but she liked Su Xingran as her "little sister." From now on, as her older sister and sister-in-law, she would do her utmost to love and care for this younger sister.
Liang Yun had already learned what had happened, and she was trembling with anger. Gu Junru patted her back to help her catch her breath. "That's outrageous! Who's so bold as to stop someone from robbing us? Gu Junru, you have to go to the police station first thing tomorrow morning and make those thugs pay the price. Even if they can't be executed, they should at least spend their lives in jail so they can't come out and harm people again."
Gu Moli sat on the sofa without saying a word. He had also been talking to his family about robbery. Gu Moli sensed that Su Xingran had something to do, and he was happy to cooperate with her.
Su Xingran and Xiao Xue came out of the room, and Liang Yun quickly stepped forward to ask, "Xiao Xue, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Xue shook her head. "Mother, I'm fine. Apart from some pain, I don't feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, Xingran came just in time to save me from this ordeal."
Liang Yun took Su Xingran's hand and said, "Xingran, thank you so much. You saved Xiaoxue, otherwise I don't know what would have happened. You've worked so hard, doing what your brother Mo Ting was supposed to do. If there's anything you need your brother Mo Ting to do in the future, just ask him to do it, don't be shy."
