Chapter 157 "It's good that we didn't lose"
Tu Yao jogged up to a group of middle-aged men and blocked their way.
She raised her chin, still with the same arrogant demeanor as before.
"Are you going to see the Grand Madam? She said she won't see you!"
Jiang Peng grabbed her wrist and gestured to the others.
Jiang San and his group immediately prepared to go upstairs.
This art center has a strong artistic atmosphere, but the corridors are not very wide, allowing only three people to pass at a time.
Jiang Peng and Tu Yao blocked the way upstairs, one on each side.
So they decided to go downstairs first and then go up the other side of the stairs.
Jiang Peng looked at Tu Yao meaningfully, "Young lady, tell me the truth, is the old lady really dying?"
Tu Yao stared at him warily, trying to break free, but she couldn't.
Seeing that a group of people had already descended most of the stairs, Tu Yao calculated the height.
...Even if it falls now, it is unlikely to cause serious injury.
But enough to cause chaos.
She caught a sharp glimpse of the Buddhist prayer beads on the man's wrist out of the corner of her eye!
The image of Jiang Peng kneeling devoutly before a group of statues flashed through my mind.
The next second, she decisively ripped the Buddhist prayer beads off the man's wrist!
In an instant, all the prayer beads fell and scattered in all directions!
Tu Yao stared at Jiang Peng's face, and as she expected, almost simultaneously, the kind-faced man's eyes suddenly widened in fury!
"……you!"
"What have you done!"
Tu Yao, panting, clenched her aching palms and shouted, "You're finished! Your prayer beads are broken! You're going to get your comeuppance!"
Jiang Peng's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he immediately released Tu Yao from her restraints!
Tu Yao quickly took the opportunity to run up a few steps!
Watching Jiang Peng pick up the scattered Buddhist beads without even turning his head!
Each sandalwood prayer bead is polished to an incredibly smooth finish, providing almost no friction on the smooth marble steps.
Some were thrown onto the steps by the force of the impact, while others rolled down several steps!
Jiang Peng hurriedly chased after the beads to pick them up, his eyes bloodshot and unable to see anything but the prayer beads!
All he knew was that he had to go and pick up those Buddhist prayer beads!
Ahead, the Jiang family was still three or five steps away when, unexpectedly, they felt a strong push from behind!
"Ah! Who pushed me!"
"Who stepped on me!"
The narrow stairwell was in complete chaos, with shouts rising and falling in all directions.
The waiters across the street, who witnessed everything, were terrified.
"Quickly! Call an ambulance!"
"What are you waiting for! Call a car!"
Tu Yao looked down at the scene before her.
Even knowing the extent of Jiang Peng's religious piety bordering on fear, Tu Yao was still stunned at this moment.
But the next second, she immediately came to her senses, turned around and ran!
He returned to Madam Jiang's side.
Madam Jiang was almost completely drenched in cold sweat, her face deathly pale, and she exhaled a breathy sound, "...You're back."
Tu Yao nodded emphatically.
"We're back! We're going to the hospital now!"
As she helped the elderly woman up, she apologized softly, "I'm sorry, I ruined your charity auction."
Madam Jiang was exhausted from the torment of illness, but she was fully aware of what had just happened.
She lovingly stroked the girl's hand and gently shook her head.
This was beyond her expectations.
...
The guests in the reception hall came out at the sound and were startled by what they saw!
He grabbed a waiter beside him, demanding, "What's going on?"
"I...I didn't see clearly either. It seems that Mr. Jiang accidentally pushed the person while trying to pick up the Buddhist beads."
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They knew Jiang Peng was superstitious; after all, he was burning incense and praying to Buddha before the auction.
But... this is just too insane!
This whole mess over retrieving Buddhist prayer beads?!
Someone immediately scanned the area and asked, "Where's the old lady?"
The waiter replied tremblingly, "They just left."
She added, "He doesn't look too good."
The guests clicked their tongues in agreement. Indeed, on the anniversary of their daughter's death, with these people causing such a scene, how could they possibly look happy?
...
As soon as she got into the car, Madam Jiang relaxed completely and could no longer hold on, collapsing onto Tu Yao's shoulder.
At the hospital, the housekeeper had already received the news, and as soon as the car arrived, he arranged for a passage to take Madam Jiang inside.
Tu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and turned to comfort her, "Don't worry, this is an old problem of hers. It flares up every now and then. Today was just a coincidence."
"Were you hurt anywhere just now? I'll arrange a full-body checkup for you."
"No need, no need, I've taken good care of myself."
Tu Yao said seriously, "I can't get hurt right now."
The housekeeper smiled and looked at her, "Because there are many people who care about you."
Unlike Jiang Peng's feigned kindness, the middle-aged man in front of him naturally exuded the care of an elder.
Tu Yao smiled too.
right!
The butler pointed to her palm and reminded her, "But there are still some scratches, they need to be treated."
Tu Yao raised her hand, revealing a small scratch on her palm, probably from when she was pulling on the prayer beads. It wasn't very noticeable and didn't hurt much.
The housekeeper still called a nurse for Tu Yao before going to handle the rest.
He sighed with relief; the situation was much better than he had anticipated.
The old lady's condition was just a sudden recurrence of an old ailment, which was concealed by Tu Yao.
Those members of the Jiang family were indeed hospitalized, and they also faced the additional charge of disrupting the auction.
This child… The housekeeper turned to look at Tu Yao again, shook his head with a smile, and said that she was indeed somewhat unexpected.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Tu Yao let out a long sigh of relief and reached out to let the nurse treat her wound.
She needs time to process what has just happened.
I closed my eyes, cleared my mind, and looked around.
The hospital was bustling with people, just like the previous times she had visited.
As she looked her over, she suddenly paused, startled.
He belatedly exclaimed, "...Wait, is this a hospital?"
The nurse asked in confusion, "Where is this if not a hospital?"
Tu Yao scratched her head... Yes, it's the hospital.
So her older brother should be at the hospital with her younger brother right now...
...
Over here, Tu Chaoxi and Nan Ke had just finished talking with the doctor about Lin Yue's recovery.
Walking into the corridor, Tu Chaoxi took out her phone and glanced at the calendar.
He immediately snorted, "I told you so, didn't I? That brat Tu Xiaomao! It really wasn't just two days ago!"
It's been four days already, and they still haven't said they're coming back!
Nan Ke sighed helplessly, "She's playful, and that old lady likes her, so it's alright if she stays a few more days."
Tu Chaoxi knew perfectly well that he was just worried.
The next second, he decisively and skillfully turned on the location service.
He felt that the best thing he ever did was to install a GPS tracker on Tu Yao's phone when they were in Crane Village.
That brat keeps running around outside, and he doesn't like to tell me anything that happens.
Fortunately, the location has been in the suburbs these past few days, so I guess they're staying at the Jiang family's house every day.
But when she opened it this time, Tu Chaoxi frowned instantly.
"What's going on?!"
...On the screen, the location that was originally in the suburbs suddenly changed to another place!
The distance indicator showed that he was only... ten meters away!
Ten meters?!
Tu Chaoxi: ? ? ? ?
Nan Ke was also stunned.
The two of them looked up almost simultaneously, and Tu Yao also turned her head at the same time.
Three pairs of similar eyes met perfectly, one in front of the other.
Tu Yao: ...
During the three seconds of eye contact, Tu Chaoxi's face gradually darkened.
"...Tu Xiaomao!"
"Didn't you go to be with Madam Jiang? Why are you in the hospital?!"
Tu Yao stood up silently.
I don't know why, but every time, what I fear most comes true.
Every time she does something big, she has the "buff" of being immediately caught by her older brother.
The first scolding should definitely be reserved for her brother.
Tu Chaoxi rushed over immediately and spotted the iodine in her palm. "You got into another fight?!"
Tu Yao felt a little guilty: "I don't think so..."
Regardless of whether it counted or not, Tu Chaoxi instantly raised her voice: "Who hit you?!"
Where is he?
Tu Yao glanced around and, just then, the ambulance that was going to pick up Jiang Peng and his group arrived at the hospital entrance.
She quickly pointed to the opposite side.
"It's over there!"
Tu Chaoxi rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush over when she saw a row of stretchers pulling in a group of grimacing middle-aged men.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi managed to calm herself down, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "You... alright, it's good that you didn't lose."
