Su Tong paid an extra fee for express delivery, and the custom-made crutches were completed three days later.
Chen Yuanyuan tried several times and finally stood up again. Although she couldn't take a step yet, she gained confidence and practiced for a long time every day. After a few days, she was able to move slowly around the house with crutches.
"Su Tong, I need to see my dad." Once Chen Yuanyuan could move a little, she immediately said to Su Tong, "Will you come with me?"
Su Tong nodded: "Okay."
Chen Yuanyuan was conflicted. She was afraid that her father would find out what had happened and feel unbearably guilty, but she was also afraid that if she didn't tell him, he would still consider Gao San's family good people, and something even worse would happen.
The two went there and waited for more than an hour before they finally met Chen Weixing.
At first, Su Tong did not recognize the gaunt old man in front of him.
In his memory, Chen Weixing was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, dressed smartly and full of vigor.
The person in front of him was an old man with messy white hair and a hunched back.
Upon seeing Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Weixing's eyes lit up instantly: "Yuanyuan, how's the thing Dad asked you to do going?"
Chen Yuanyuan sat there, with Su Tong standing behind her, supporting her body.
Chen Weixing did not notice anything unusual about her.
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Dad, that family has probably turned against us. I have something to tell you, but please don't get agitated!"
Chen Weixing was stunned: "They turned against me? That's impossible! That was Dad's best friend of over twenty years!"
Chen Yuanyuan slowly began to recount: "I went to Sujiazhuang and found the Gao family. But Gao Sange wasn't home; I was received by Gao Sange's second brother..."
“Brother Gao!” Chen Weixing interjected disdainfully, “That guy was nothing but a lapdog! He used to kneel on the ground and wipe my shoes with his sleeve! And then what?”
"No wonder," Su Tong sighed from the side.
Such a person is more like a venomous snake—if someone he once fawned over falls on hard times, he will pounce on them and tear them apart.
That's why Chen Yuanyuan suffered such a fate.
Chen Weixing then noticed Su Tong: "Yuanyuan, what does this kid do?!"
Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Su Tong: "Dad, this is my boyfriend."
"What?!" Chen Weixing exclaimed in surprise, "He's your boyfriend? What about Xiaohan?"
"I dumped Zuo Han," Chen Yuanyuan said irritably. "Dad! Don't mention Zuo Han anymore! He made me put up a big-character poster about you, and he's already written it!"
"This..." Chen Weixing glanced at Su Tong, then whispered to Chen Yuanyuan, "Zuo Han's actions are reasonable. However, Dad believes that with Gao San's help, Dad still has a chance to get back to his original position! By the way, could you let this kid go out first? Dad wants to say a few words to you?"
"Dad, he can't go out. Because I'm paralyzed, he has to support me from behind so I can sit here!" Chen Yuanyuan could only tell the truth.
"What did you say?! What did this kid do to you?!" The veins on Chen Weixing's neck bulged. If he weren't handcuffed to the chair, he would have rushed up and torn Su Tong apart alive!
"Dad, please don't get agitated," Chen Yuanyuan quickly said. "My paralysis was caused by Gao Erge, it has nothing to do with Su Tong! On the contrary, Su Tong saved me, otherwise, you probably would never have seen me again!"
"What?!" Chen Weixing was completely stunned. "Second Brother Gao? What...what did he do to you?"
Chen Yuanyuan then told Chen Weixing the whole story of how she went to Sujiazhuang to find Gao Sange.
After hearing this, Chen Weixing froze for a full three minutes.
Then, he looked at Su Tong and said, "Young man, you are a benefactor to my Chen family. I, Chen Weixing, thank you!"
After saying that, he banged his forehead on the table repeatedly, saying, "I'm in handcuffs and can't kowtow to you right now, but I'll definitely kowtow to you to thank you when I get out!"
Su Tong avoided the question, saying, "Uncle Chen... please don't do this."
When Chen Weixing raised his head again, his forehead was already broken, and red liquid was flowing out.
His face was covered in snot and tears.
He cried out in grief and indignation, "Yuanyuan, it's all my fault! I entrusted the wrong person to you!"
Chen Yuanyuan comforted him, saying:
“Dad, I’ve recovered a lot, and Su Tong has taken good care of me.”
When I came to visit you this time, Su Tong even asked their factory for a car, and the factory sent two young workers to help carry me down from upstairs!
You don't need to blame yourself too much.
But how should we handle Gao Erge's matter?
I didn't dare call the police because I wasn't sure whether my second brother did it himself or if my third brother told him to!
Chen Weixing fell silent. He frowned and thought hard for a while before speaking:
"Don't go to Sujiazhuang anymore, and don't call the police yet."
If Gao San still cherishes our brotherhood, then when he returns from his funeral and learns of this, he will come to you himself!
Su Tong interjected:
"Maybe the second-year high school student will never tell the third-year high school student about Yuanyuan's visit and how he beat her to a pulp!"
After all, his daughter took 1,000 yuan from Yuanyuan!
I don't know about other places, but Sujiazhuang is my grandfather's home. It's a poor and remote place where bad people come from!
A thousand yuan is enough for the young men of Sujiazhuang to lose their heads over!
"Su Tong, what you said... also makes a lot of sense!"
Chen Weixing raised his head.
"Yuanyuan, this is all Daddy's fault!"
It was your father's oversight; he shouldn't have let you go to such a dangerous place alone.
However, what happened to you was an accident!
Now, only Gao Sange can save Dad!
If even this little bit of hope is gone, Dad…
"Dad, I understand what you mean."
Chen Yuanyuan's eyes dimmed. "I will try to contact Gao San-ge himself. I will come to see you again after I know his thoughts!"
"Yuanyuan!" Chen Weixing's lips trembled. "Yuanyuan, you hate your father, don't you! Your father is bad!"
"No, I hate fate. The one who should hate you is my mother."
Chen Yuanyuan suppressed the sadness in her expression. "Dad, you have really done a lot of wrong things. Perhaps, reforming yourself is what you should be doing now."
After saying that, she stood up with difficulty. Su Tong brought over the crutches leaning against the wall, and Chen Yuanyuan skillfully put them on: "Dad, I'll come to see you again when I have definite news."
Chen Weixing looked at his daughter, who was slowly moving with crutches, and walked away step by step, exiting the door of the reception room.
He closed his eyes in anguish.
...
At this point, Su Tong asked Su Ruyi somewhat embarrassedly, "Without your permission, I promised Yuanyuan that you could cure her back injury... Ruyi, you won't blame your fourth brother, will you?"
Su Ruyi wiped away her tears and smiled, "Fourth Brother, I might really be able to heal Yuanyuan's injury!"
