Seeing that she looked ready to roll up her sleeves and avenge Xiao Muyu, Jiang Xiaoli quickly advised, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely not let this matter end so easily."
Xu Feng said angrily, "Xiao Yu has never been to the hospital except for physical examinations since she was a child. She has rarely had a cold. She was hospitalized and had surgery after only a few days in college!"
Jiang Xiaoli helped her sit down. "Auntie, although Xiaoyu's surgery is minor, she still needs your care. Uncle Xiao hasn't returned from Xijing yet, so can you leave this matter to me?"
Xu Feng took a deep breath and held her hand. "Xiao Li, I only have one request: the perpetrator must be punished as he deserves! Don't give me any apologies or anything like that, I won't accept it!"
She agreed, saying, "Don't worry, I think the same way you do."
She looked at Xiao Muyu and said, "Auntie, Xiaoyu was under general anesthesia just now, and it will probably take two or three hours for her to wake up. I'll stay here and watch over her. Why don't you go home and prepare some things she needs for the hospital?"
Xu Feng rushed to the hospital as soon as she received the call to sign the surgical consent form for her child, without preparing anything.
She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go home to get some things. Little Pear, I'll leave things here in your care. I'll bring you food when I come back."
"Okay, you can go ahead."
Xu Feng hadn't returned yet when Jiang Chengle rushed into the ward, sweating profusely. He looked at the person on the bed with concern, completely ignoring Jiang Xiaoli.
She said, both amused and annoyed, "Xiaoyu hasn't woken up from the anesthesia yet!"
Jiang Chengle then noticed that there was someone sitting by the window. He frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Jiang Xiaoli knew he was genuinely concerned, so she briefly explained the situation.
She added, "I've already had someone prepare the complaint, and I'll call the police as soon as Xiaoyu wakes up."
Jiang Chengle's ever-smiling expression vanished, replaced by a clenched fist that cracked loudly. "The perpetrator is an utterly incomprehensible madman!"
Jiang Xiaoli agreed with him, "Indeed, but Aunt Xu and I have already discussed it. We do not intend to accept any form of mediation. The perpetrator must be punished."
"Absolutely!" Jiang Chengle was about to say something when he noticed Xiao Muyu move slightly.
He immediately went to the bedside and asked with concern, "Xiaoyu, you're awake, aren't you?"
Seeing that Xiao Muyu had opened her eyes, Jiang Xiaoli walked to the other side of the hospital bed and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, I just had my appendix removed."
After a couple of minutes, Xiao Muyu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xiaoli before bursting into tears, "Xiaoli, I have a scar..."
Jiang Xiaoli thought she was in pain because the anesthesia had worn off. Hearing her words, she was about to speak when Jiang Chengle rushed in and said, "It's okay, Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. You've forgotten that our Jiang's Medical Aesthetics Research Center is the best at skin repair. I'll take you back to Wudu for repair surgery later, and I guarantee you'll still be beautiful!"
His words had a very good effect, immediately stopping Xiao Muyu's tears. She said softly, "Thank you, Brother Le."
Jiang Chengle looked at him with concern, as if he himself had suffered an appendectomy, "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Jiang Xiaoli used a cotton swab dipped in water to wipe Xiao Muyu's lips. "You can't drink water for now, just bear with it for a bit."
Xiao Muyu nodded and asked, "Do my parents know?"
“How could they not know you had surgery?” she explained. “Your classmate Tang Yi called me using your phone. I’ve been away from school for a while, so it was your aunt who signed the surgical consent form. She stayed with you until after the surgery and is now at home packing your hospital things. Uncle Xiao bought a ticket for the next flight back to Kyoto and should be back this afternoon.”
Xiao Muyu nodded. "Xiao Li, thank you."
She rolled her eyes. "Thank you to me? Did you get your appendix removed or your brain removed?"
Xiao Muyu wanted to laugh, but the pain from her wound made her pout and said aggrievedly, "I'm a patient, and you're still criticizing me!"
Just as Jiang Xiaoli was about to say how this person could become so dramatic over surgery, Jiang Chengle flicked her forehead, saying, "Xiaoli, Xiaoyu just had surgery, be considerate of her!"
Jiang Xiaoli was speechless. She really wanted to ask, "Who are you, sir?"
The three of them chatted for a short while before Xu Feng returned, pulling a small suitcase in one hand and carrying a lunchbox in the other.
When she saw that her daughter was awake, she went to the bedside and cried, "My daughter has suffered so much!"
Xiao Muyu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Mom, don't cry, if you cry I'll want to cry too."
Xu Feng quickly calmed herself down, "Okay, okay, I won't cry, I'll stay with you!"
She turned around and saw Jiang Chengle, "Ah Le is here too."
Jiang Chengle scratched his head, "Well, I heard Xiaoyu was injured, so I wanted to come and see her..."
Xu Feng patted him on the shoulder, "What a good boy, thank you!"
"No, no need, it's my pleasure..."
Xu Feng opened the lunchbox she brought. "Xiao Li, I just went back and quickly cooked two dishes. Just eat a bite."
Jiang Xiaoli responded and opened her lunchbox to start eating.
Jiang Chengle sat opposite her, staring at the food in her bowl and swallowing his saliva.
She picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and waved it in the air. "Brother Le, are you hungry?"
Xu Feng, a little embarrassed, said, "Ah Le, I didn't know you were coming. I didn't prepare enough food..."
Jiang Chengle quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, Auntie, I'm not hungry."
He stood up to say goodbye, saying, "I'm relieved to see that Xiaoyu is alright. I still have things to do at the company, so I'll head back first and come back when I'm done."
Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu both thanked him.
Watching his departing figure, Xu Feng sighed, "Ah Le is such a good-natured child!"
Xiao Muyu finally sensed something was wrong, but she remained silent.
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and pursed her lips. "Hehe, Brother Le is quite enthusiastic."
After finishing her meal, she said seriously, "Xiaoyu, I'm planning to call the police later and ask a few of your classmates to come over as witnesses, is that okay?"
"Okay, whatever you say." Xiao Muyu pouted and said, "Why am I so unlucky!"
Xu Feng held her daughter's hand tenderly, "Xiaoyu, after we call the police, no matter who comes to plead for you, we can't be soft-hearted, understand? I was terrified when I got Xiaoli's call! You're our only child. What will we do if anything happens to you?"
Jiang Xiaoli also advised, "Yes, Xiaoyu, this is not the time for you to be indecisive. People who make mistakes should be punished accordingly!"
Xiao Muyu looked at her mother and then at Jiang Xiaoli. She smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I'm that easy to talk to? I was in so much pain when I got stabbed at the hospital. I've never been in so much pain before. Don't worry, I'll listen to you."
