Chapter 208: Grandma

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou had iron-clad alibis. There were surveillance cameras elsewhere that showed they went home, and there were also the helpers at home.

The police quickly cleared the duo of any suspicions.

As for the surveillance cameras near the bar where Lin Yin was beaten up, coincidentally or not, they were not working.

The police spoke to the bartender, but the bartender said that he did not have an impression of Lin Yin. After all, there were so many customers every day; it would be impossible for him to remember everyone’s faces.

In the end, the police could not find the culprit, and it became an unsolved case.

At this time, Xu Youyou also received a call from Cheng Ying. Cheng Ying was worried that she and Mo Shenbai were involved in the beating.

Cheng Ying said that Lin Yin was beaten up very badly this time. He had two broken ribs, and his face was injured as well. The injuries on his face would likely leave a scar in the future.

Xu Youyou reassured Cheng Ying so Cheng Ying would feel at ease. She told Cheng Ying that she and Mo Shenbai had nothing to do with the matter. As for how Lin Yin looked in the future, it had nothing to do with her as well.

Cheng Ying sighed. “People really shouldn’t commit evil deeds. Retribution is real.” After a beat, she continued to say, “Previously, Wang Xiaohui was so arrogant. She said her son was very outstanding and that our family was climbing up the ladder through the marriage agreement. When he abandoned you during the wedding, I was angry, and I blamed him for it. However, now, I’m only glad he left that day. Otherwise, you’d definitely suffer if you had married him. How could you have such a good marriage now?”

Cheng Ying had suffered at Wang Xiaohui’s hands multiple times. Hence, she could not help but add salt to injury at this time.

Perhaps, it was because Xu Youyou had been on the brink of death once or because she was living a happy life now, she was more broad-minded than her mother. She lived every day very happily and did not want to waste her time and emotions on unimportant people at all.

“Mom, that’s all in the past. Don’t keep thinking about it,” Xu Youyou said to comfort her mother, “The two families are no longer in contact so this matter has nothing to do with us as well. You should just treat them as passersby from now on.”

“You’re right. I’ll listen to you,” Cheng Ying said with a smile before changing the topic. “If Mo Shenbai is free, bring him over to the house for dinner more often.”

“Okay,” Xu Youyou readily agreed.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Ying received another call so she ended the call with Xu Youyou.

At this time, Mo Shenbai had gone to the office. Since it was still summer vacation, Xu Youyou had nothing to do. She had been taking commissions for her paintings online, doing her work illustrations, painting, and sketching manga characters to post on Weibo. As such, her fans had also increased.

After lunch, Xu Youyou returned to the bedroom to catch up on her sleep. Last night, Mo Shenbai was very persistent so she did not sleep well.

Not long after Xu Youyou fell asleep, she began to dream.

The long corridor of the hospital was filled with people. Everyone’s eyes shone with curiosity and seemed to be gossiping.

When the door to the ward opened, a woman’s shrill voice rang from inside. The woman’s words were vicious and filthy.

“Xu Youyou, that little wh*re, cheated on my son with another man! After that, she even turned around and slandered my son! Now, she actually hired someone to beat my son up! She’s really vicious!”

Old Madam Xu was so angry that her face turned red. She said through gritted teeth, “Watch your mouth! What does your son getting beaten up have to do with my granddaughter?!”

Wang Xiaohui spat and cursed, “Watch my mouth? That little b*tch wasn’t a good person since she was young! After growing up, not only is she still a b*tch, but she’s also turned into a sl*t! Back then, she insisted on clinging to my son! Who didn’t know what she was thinking? Wasn’t she just thinking about our family’s wealth?!”

“Shut up!” Old Madam said furiously as she smacked the bedside table. Her entire body was trembling.

At this time, the hospital staff rushed in, trying to escort Wang Xiaohui out.

However, Wang Xiaohui did not allow anyone to touch her. She would lash out at those who tried to approach her. Her nails were long and sharp, scratching the hands of a few nurses.

Wang Xiaohui sat on the floor crying as she screeched, “Everyone, please help me seek justice! This family is bullying honest people! It’s one thing for that little b*tch Xu Youyou to hook up with an unknown man, but she even hired someone to beat my son up until he couldn’t get out of bed! Her family even bribed the police so we have no one to turn to for help! Why?! Why is A Yin’s life so miserable?!”

Wang Xiaohui cried and beat her chest dramatically.

There were many patients and visiting families and friends gathered outside the room. They were all watching the show and discussing animatedly among themselves. Most of them seemed to believe Wang Xiaohui and were pointing their fingers at Old Madam Xu.

Old Madam Xu had always been an upright person in her life. She had never done anything that betrayed her conscience. She only cared about her granddaughter the most. Her granddaughter was slandered and humiliated, but there was no way for her to explain clearly.

People would always sympathize with the weak so it was unsurprising that the crowd sided with Wang Xiaohui at this moment.

Old Madam Xu blamed herself for insisting on fulfilling the marriage agreement with the Lin family. Otherwise, the incident today definitely would not happen. Her granddaughter would not be abandoned during the wedding, and she would also not be wronged.

People might not say anything openly, but in private, they would definitely gossip.

Perhaps, there was a reason why people said that one would get more muddle-headed as one grew older. Old Madam Xu certainly felt so. It was due to her being muddle-headed that led to such a situation.

Grief and anger welled in Old Madam Xu’s heart. Agitated by her emotions, she suddenly frowned in pain and instinctively raised her hand to press it against her chest.

Upon seeing this, the nurses rushed over and called for the doctor.

The crowd was gathered at the entrance so it took some effort for the doctor to come into the room.

Old Madam Xu’s eyes rolled up as she fell unconscious. Her face was extremely pale at this moment.

The doctor shouted, “Quickly prep the operating theatre! Inform her family members as well!”

“Make way! Make way!” one of the nurses shouted, helping the doctor to move the patient to the operating theatre.

Wang Xiaohui was still sitting on the floor and kicking her legs. She thought that Old Madam was just feigning her illness. She hugged the leg of the gurney and cried out, “Don’t think you can escape if you pretend to be dead! If you treat A Yin like this, you’ll die a horrible death!”

“The patient’s condition is very critical. If you obstruct us, it’ll affect our ability to save the patient. The consequences will be dire,” the doctor said angrily.

Wang Xiaohui was not convinced. “Don’t try to fool me! You’re in cahoots with her! I won’t let her go until she gives me an explanation today!”

The doctor looked up and shouted, “Where’s the security?! Why aren’t they here yet? Hurry up and drag her away!”

Chaos descended on the scene immediately.

…

“Grandma!”

Xu Youyou jolted and sat up on the bed. She was in a daze for a moment. When she returned to her senses, she hurried out of bed. She did not change her clothes as she ran downstairs.

The butler was changing the water in the vase at this moment. When he saw Xu Youyou running down in a panic, he hurriedly asked, “Madam, what’s wrong?”

Xu Youyou did not answer. Instead, she ran outside and shouted, “Cang Ming, Cang Ming!”

Since Mo Shenbai assigned Cang Ming to Xu Youyou, Cang Ming usually followed Xu Youyou wherever she went. If she was at home, he was at home as well. Hence, when he heard her calling for him, he appeared immediately. “Madam?”

“Hospital! Quickly send me to the hospital!” Xu Youyou said as she looked at Cang Ming pleadingly and tugged the hem of his shirt.

Seeing the state Xu Youyou was in, Cang Ming did not ask any other questions. He nodded immediately. “Okay.”

The butler saw Xu Youyou running out of the house with bare feet, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He did not hesitate at all as he called Mo Shenbai to inform him of the matter.

…

When Xu Youyou arrived at the hospital, she did not go to the ward at all. Instead, she went to the floor where the operating theaters were located.
