When they arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology ward floor, Zhang Meng was still standing in the corridor as usual.
"Brother Meng, I'll bring the food in, and we can eat together in the cafeteria." Since Uncle Wang is here, the food Li Chu brought certainly won't be enough for several people.
"No rush, let them eat first." Zhang Meng nodded with a smile.
Li Chu entered the ward, where Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were both present, and Ding Qiunan had already brought the child over.
The two little ones were lying by the bed, watching the sleeping baby, and occasionally whispering to each other.
When they saw their father come in, they didn't even bother to acknowledge him, just gave a perfunctory greeting and continued whispering.
Li Chu placed the prepared food on the table and invited the group to eat.
"Xiao Chu, call Zhang Meng in so we can eat together," Uncle Wang said.
"Uncle, you guys eat first. I'll go to the cafeteria with Meng Ge later."
Li Qiaoyun's complexion suggests that she has almost fully recovered; at least she was able to get out of bed and go to the bathroom by herself today.
"Brother Chu, I think it's about time. Can I be discharged tomorrow? It's so inconvenient staying in the hospital." Li Qiaoyun felt really bad seeing how busy several families were taking care of her after she gave birth.
Li Chu waved his hand: "These are not issues you should be concerned about. Just focus on taking good care of yourself."
“That’s right, this child won’t listen to anything I say. He told me this as soon as I arrived this morning, and now he’s telling you again.”
Aunt Wang chimed in from the side, "Let me tell you, Qiaoyun, it won't work if you talk to Xiao Chu. Try asking him to let you leave the hospital without my permission."
Sitting on the hospital bed, Li Qiaoyun looked at her mother-in-law with a wry smile: "Mom, I'm really fine now. Isn't it more convenient for us to stay at home? It saves us from running around like this, not eating or resting properly. Look how tired my sister-in-law Qiu Nan has been these past two days. She has to take care of me and the baby at night, and she still has to go to work during the day."
Ding Qiunan had just put a bite of food in her mouth when she couldn't speak. She could only wave her hand to indicate that she was alright.
Aunt Wang looked at Ding Qiunan after hearing her daughter-in-law's words. She hadn't paid attention before, but now she realized there was a problem.
"Qiu Nan, what's wrong? Were you crying just now?"
Ding Qiunan was trying to swallow the food in her mouth when she heard this and stopped swallowing.
Now both Uncle Wang and Li Qiaoyun looked at Ding Qiunan.
Although she had just washed her face, her eyes were still a little swollen from a good cry, which was noticeable upon closer inspection.
All three of them turned their gaze to Li Chu, waiting for him to give an explanation. Aunt Wang slammed her chopsticks onto the table.
The somber atmosphere in the room made the two little ones, who were drinking porridge, stop and timidly look at the adults inside.
“Uh…” Li Chu didn’t know how to explain.
Ding Qiunan quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and said, "Aunt, Uncle, it has nothing to do with Li Chu, it was me...it was me..."
Suddenly, she didn't know what to say.
It would have been better if she hadn't explained, because she hadn't explained clearly and was stammering. Aunt Wang's temper flared up immediately. She stood up, walked over to Li Chu, and slapped him twice on the back of the head.
"You've really gotten yourself into trouble now, even bullying your own wife."
"Auntie, I didn't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Wang slapped him on the back again.
"You dare talk back to me!"
Alright, whatever makes you happy, I won't say anything more.
"Xiao Chu, what exactly happened? Explain yourself." Uncle Wang couldn't stand it anymore and asked.
Even Li Qiaoyun's gaze towards Li Chu was strange.
"Wow!" Both children started crying at the same time, which made things lively. The baby who was sleeping soundly in bed was also woken up and started crying.
Aunt Wang didn't bother to deal with Li Chu anymore. She went over and hugged Xiao Wenhui to comfort her and stop her crying.
"Grandma, please don't hit Daddy." Little Wenhui cried, but still knew to protect her father.
The three women in the room were all frantically trying to soothe the child.
Uncle Wang noticed something was wrong from Li Chu's expression. He stood up, walked over to Li Chu, and said, "Come out and tell me what happened."
Aunt Wang probably realized something at this moment, and turned to look at Ding Qiunan.
Ding Qiunan held Xiao Wenxuan on her lap, patting him as she said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt, something happened. Let Li Chu tell you later, I can't explain it clearly myself."
fantuan.
Li Chu followed Uncle Wang to the corridor outside the ward. Seeing their solemn expressions, Zhang Meng also came over.
"Xiao Chu, tell me, what happened?"
Li Chu turned his head and looked to both sides: "Uncle, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to my consultation room to talk."
After saying that, Li Chu went into the ward and spoke to the people inside. Then he led Uncle Wang and Zhang Meng to his clinic in the front yard.
In the consultation room, Li Chu recounted what had happened without hesitation. Before he could even begin, Uncle Wang exploded.
"What? You were followed last night?"
"Slap!" Uncle Wang slammed his hand on the desk and stood up.
"Xiao Meng, go back and bring all the guards over here, and make sure they have all their equipment."
"Uncle, uncle, please don't! We've already sent people to investigate. We'll talk about it after we find out the truth."
Li Chu hurriedly stopped Uncle Wang and then turned to Zhang Meng, who was about to leave, and shouted, "Brother Meng, don't go yet, wait until I finish speaking."
After finally managing to calm down Uncle Wang, who was in a rage, Li Chu felt both touched and amused.
The funny thing is, Uncle Wang is almost sixty years old, but he still has such a fiery temper.
I was moved because Uncle Wang abandoned all principles for his own sake.
After Uncle Wang and Zhang Meng sat down, Li Chu quickly finished explaining the rest.
"Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng?" Uncle Wang muttered the name after hearing it, his left hand on the desk, his index finger tapping the surface incessantly.
"Is this the boy from the Jiang family that your aunt told me about a while ago?"
"That's him, he just arrived in Beijing before the new year."
"I remember you guys had a good relationship when you were kids?" Uncle Wang found this a bit strange.
Li Chu smiled wryly and said, "We were good friends when we were kids, along with Xiao Jun and Xiao Bing. I don't know what happened now. Maybe it was just a coincidence that happened at the entrance of our alley this afternoon."
"Impossible. Where would so many coincidences come from? You were followed into the alley last night, and he showed up there today. That's too much of a coincidence," Zhang Meng retorted after listening for a while.
Uncle Wang nodded: "It is indeed a bit too coincidental."
How skilled is Wu Xiaoliu, the guy you mentioned who investigated him? Is he Ziwen's cousin? Hopefully, he won't be exposed.
