Lin Ye took Huo Tong to the hospital, and by the time Huo Yingdong arrived, Huo Tong had developed a fever.
Lu Wanqing and the children were very worried and waited in the corridor outside the ward.
Feng Yu, however, wouldn't let go of Lin Ye.
"Yingdong, he's the one who pushed the child into the water. Otherwise, why would he be so kind as to save someone?"
Fok Ying-tung frowned, disbelieving that Lin Ye would do such a thing, and said coldly to her:
"Didn't several people just testify that he didn't push her? Why are you still so fixated on this? You failed to take good care of your child and are now falsely accusing someone who saved Tongtong. What are you up to?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu felt guilty and stamped her foot.
"What ulterior motives do I have? I'm just seeking justice for Tongtong."
Lu Wanqing, who was sitting on a chair in the corridor, couldn't stand it anymore. After telling the children to sit properly, she got up and went into the ward.
"Feng Yu, I didn't want to argue with you since you're pregnant, but you've gone too far!"
Lin Ye and I went out to play and didn't know Huo Tong was there. We only found out it was him when we were rescuing the child. As for you, you only arrived late after the child was rescued. It's hard to say whether you deliberately let him come to the ice alone. When you saw Lin Ye rescuing the child, you were still there stalling for time.
If you hadn't stopped her, Tongtong might not have gotten a fever.
Since you keep insisting that Lin Ye pushed it, then let's call the police over and see whose fault it really is.
She shoved Feng Yu onto the fire to roast without any mercy.
"you......"
Thinking that by focusing on Lin Ye, she could absolve herself of her dereliction of duty, little did she know that Lu Wanqing would not give an inch.
"Go ahead and call the police! I'm determined to insist that Lin Ye pushed him and make him go to jail!" Feng Yu said angrily.
Huo Yingdong couldn't stand it anymore. He recalled that it was Feng Yu who suggested bringing Huo Tong to the lakeside to play this morning, without even bringing a nanny. He was furious with her.
I've seen examples of stepmothers killing their ex-wives' children because they wanted to have their own. Feng Yu had always been very protective of Huo Tong, and I thought she was a good stepmother, but I never expected her to be such a vicious person.
A loud slap landed on Feng Yu's face.
This was immediately followed by a loud shout from Fok Ying-tung.
"Get lost! You still have the nerve to cause trouble here? If anything happens to Tongtong, I'll make you pay with your life!"
That slap was no light one; Feng Yu's ears were ringing, and she was stunned for a long time before covering her face and running out of the ward.
After glancing at Huo Tong, he turned to Lu Wanqing and said:
"Don't take it to heart, I know you saved Tongtong."
Lu Wanqing gave him a relieved smile and casually asked:
"Minister Huo, is there any progress on my loan application?"
Everything else is minor; this cannot be delayed.
Fok Ying-tung felt very ashamed. He was a high-ranking official, but his connections with banks were limited. He met with several bank presidents and they said they could only lend him 100,000.
For Lu Wanqing, who needed three million yuan, this was just a drop in the ocean.
"Don't worry, I recently made an appointment with the governor of the national bank through a friend, hoping he will agree."
Henry Fok stated that, especially since the other party saved his child, he should do everything in his power to help.
Normally, he is a very proud person and rarely asks others for favors, but this time he went all out.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Lu Wanqing smiled.
Fok Ying-tung was even more anxious about this than she was, and he would definitely do his best. There was no point in her pressuring him.
Anyway, the Qianjin Garment Factory is conducting an investigation and evaluation, which will take some time, so I might as well just relax and enjoy the New Year.
The Han family ate their New Year's Eve dinner at Lin Xiaocui's restaurant.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, fewer people are coming to the restaurant, so she hasn't been open for business these past few days.
Grandma Han felt that her home was too small to fit everyone, so she suggested that they eat at a restaurant.
Besides hot pot, Lin Xiaocui also prepared other dishes, including various kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as fruits and vegetables.
For this meal, Lu Wanqing's whole family pitched in, and each of them cooked their specialty dishes.
When the Han family arrived, the food was already on the table, and they were just waiting to start the meal.
Wei Shufen looked at the table full of dishes, pursed her lips, and called out to Lin Xiaocui, who was still taking off her apron and preparing to sit down:
"Why isn't there anything to drink? Men drink baijiu, but ladies should have some cola or something."
Even the best-laid plans can go wrong; because Lu Wanqing usually doesn't allow the children to drink cola, she didn't think of it.
What restaurant wouldn't have that?
It's not a big deal, but I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable.
She was attending as a relative of Lin Ye, so even if she wanted a Coke, she didn't need to make such a fuss.
They really treated her like a waitress!
Han Lei quickly and skillfully took several bottles of cola from the cabinet and placed them on the table in front of her, grinning as he said:
"Mom, is there anything else you'd like to drink? I'll get it for you."
"Take what? You're not a waiter!" Wei Shufen said irritably.
Han Lei's temper flared up as well.
"Well, Xiao Cui isn't one of them either. She spent half a day preparing this big meal."
After saying that, he led Xiao Cui to the table and sat down next to her.
Wei Shufen was about to say something when Old Mrs. Han glared at her and said coldly:
"Alright, no one can be quiet during the New Year. Everyone's seated, let's start eating!"
"Dinner's ready! Great-Grandma, time to eat!"
"This meatball is so soft, Mom said even Great-Grandma could chew it!"
The three children surrounded Grandma Han, and a few words from them made her smile.
She disliked Wei Shufen, but since Wei Shufen was the eldest son's wife, they had to have a meal together during the New Year.
In the following time, everyone spoke freely and began to share their achievements over the past year.
Everyone talked about what they had done and what they had gained in the past year, but Wei Shufen couldn't say anything.
She wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her two sons about marriage, but she couldn't join in any of their conversations.
"They just opened a shop and made some money, look how smug they are."
"Lin Xiaocui runs a restaurant, how can she compare to Yao Na? Don't be so smug now, she definitely won't let her in." She thought to herself.
When it came to the fact that Lu Wanqing had bought a house in Hong Kong, she interjected with a sarcastic remark:
"How could you even think of buying a house so far away? I hope you don't end up losing everything!"
Lu Wanqing smiled:
"All investments carry risks, but I can afford to lose money."
Han Dongfeng glanced at his wife and awkwardly said:
"I'm sorry, but please don't take it to heart. The port city is developing very well now, and I believe your investment will be a great success."
He usually comes into contact with a lot of economic policies and has some understanding of the development in the port city. Even if he can't make money in the short term, he won't lose money in the future.
Han Tao and Han Lei naturally knew this as well, and took the opportunity to raise their glasses to congratulate her in advance.
Wei Shufen was furious. Why were all the men in the family siding with this woman?
Her status at home is getting lower and lower!
