Chapter 106 The Mother Who Harmed Her Son
Her face turned deathly pale. Looking at Song Xingzhi, she was somewhat flustered: "Office... Office Director?"
"You...you're not just bragging, are you?"
Song Xingzhi glanced at her: "If that's how you want to think, then so be it."
The old woman with the crooked mouth was stunned.
She was about to explain that she hadn't said Song Xingzhi, but Zhang Chunxue, when she realized that she had indeed said that the little mute girl was born from his affair with Zhang Chunxue.
This made the old lady with the crooked mouth even more panicked.
If she had previously hoped that her son would come to her aid, now she wished he wouldn't come at all.
However, the old woman with the crooked mouth still held onto a sliver of hope, wishing that the little girl had only scared her on purpose.
However, just as she was thinking this, the door to the ward opened, and a middle-aged man walked in and started yelling at the old woman with the crooked mouth.
"Mom! Xiaojuan said you just sprained your ankle by accident, why do you have to come to the hospital for treatment?"
"Is this because they think they have too much money to burn?"
These words were like a boomerang, piercing the face of the old woman with the crooked mouth.
The old woman with the crooked mouth looked even uglier.
Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The eyes of everyone else in the ward immediately focused on the crooked-mouthed old woman's son.
His gaze was full of curiosity.
They were all wondering whether the office director actually knew the clerk's son, the woman with the crooked mouth.
Zhang Chunxue, however, seemed quite interested and nudged Song Xingzhi, asking, "Xingzhi, do you know him?"
Song Xingzhi nodded: "I know him. He's an officer in the town's agricultural and forestry office, named Chen Guobin. He's not my direct subordinate."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he realized that everyone in the ward was staring at him.
For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He was completely baffled when he caught sight of Song Xingzhi sitting to one side out of the corner of his eye.
Chen Guobin immediately recognized this man as the new office director of the town government, whose family background was said to be quite extraordinary.
He immediately put on a fawning smile and went over: "Oh my, isn't this Director Song? What brings you to the hospital?"
"Does anyone in your family have health problems?"
He's still brainstorming like crazy!
Previously, I thought his mother was making a mountain out of a molehill by arguing with his wife and then insisting on staying in the hospital after spraining her ankle, and that she was deliberately giving his wife a hard time.
Unexpectedly, his mother ended up in the same ward as Director Song's family, which gave him a perfect opportunity to curry favor with the new director.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that his mother had actually done a pretty good job.
However, what he didn't see was that his mother's face turned deathly pale after hearing what he said.
The old woman with the crooked mouth trembled inwardly, thinking that it was all over, that she had really gotten herself into big trouble for her son.
Song Xingzhi looked at Chen Guobin with a half-smile: "I didn't expect to run into you here... What a coincidence."
He pointed at the old woman with the crooked mouth: "Is that your mother?"
Chen Guobin nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, my mother... she's old and in poor health. She accidentally sprained her ankle, so she came to the hospital."
He felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what he had said when he came in.
"Actually, it's nothing serious, but it's fine for the elderly to stay in the hospital. It's also a good opportunity to give her a check-up."
Song Xingzhi nodded: "You're quite the smooth talker, but how come your mother always throws mud at people? She throws all sorts of dirty and stinking things at you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guobin's mind went blank.
He then realized that his mother was no ordinary person; she was always talking nonsense, and she would nitpick about things that had nothing to do with him.
Judging from Director Song's tone, his mother has probably said something unpleasant.
Chen Guobin panicked and stammered, "Director Song, my... my mom just has a loose tongue, please... please don't take it to heart..."
Song Xingzhi immediately sneered: "Is this something you can't keep your mouth shut about?"
"She insisted that I had an extramarital affair with another woman and that we had an eight-year-old son together."
Song Xingzhi gestured towards Song Yanshen with his lip: "That's really detailed and convincing. If I didn't know I didn't do it, I would really think it was my own son!"
Chen Guobin's head suddenly exploded, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Is his mother crazy? What is she doing?
Zhong Xiaoxiao added, "Comrade Chen, let me remind you, my mother and Teacher Song didn't do anything to your mother. She just suddenly jumped out and said my mother was burning money, that my mother couldn't have a son, and that my mother was having an affair with Teacher Song..."
Chen Guobin's heart was truly ice-cold.
If his mother was forced to retaliate, that would be one thing, but this...
This is really the end!
He couldn't help but look at the other patients in the ward, wanting to confirm whether what the little girl said was true.
Unexpectedly, the other patients nodded in agreement.
Chen Guobin's vision went black.
He wished he had never been here today, wished there was a crack in the ground he could disappear into, and wished he had never had a mother like this...
He turned sharply to look at his mother and saw her flinch, her face full of guilt, not daring to look him in the eye.
Chen Guobin almost ground his teeth to powder.
But what could he do?
He could only force a smile through his long face: "Director Song, and this lady... I'm so sorry, so very sorry, my mother, she... she's just like that..."
"I really can't do anything about her..."
As he spoke, his eyes also became a little hot.
Chen Guobin really wanted to cry.
How much effort did he put in to get to his current position? How many people did he beg from? How many gifts did he give?
But what about his mother? She's being incredibly difficult, insisting on staying in the hospital, which could potentially ruin all his previous efforts.
How can there be such a mother in the world who harms her son like this?
Seeing that he was about to cry, Song Xingzhi simply smiled and said, "Officer Chen, although I also sympathize with you having such a mother..."
"But to be honest, her nonsense today has had an extremely bad impact on both Comrade Zhang Chunxue and me, and has seriously tarnished our reputations!"
"What do you think is the best way to resolve this matter?"
He kicked the ball back directly.
Chen Guobin opened his mouth: "I...I think..."
He didn't know what to say.
"How about I apologize to Director Song and Comrade Zhang Chunxue first?"
Song Xingzhi let out a short laugh: "What? You don't actually think that apologizing on behalf of your mother is the end of it, do you?"
