Song Fengwan ran the fastest. Fu Chen was bidding farewell to Old Madam Yan when he heard the cry. He gripped his prayer bead bracelet tightly and followed Song Fengwan to the back.

Old Madam Yan’s legs weren’t nimble, so she ran very slowly. Yan Wangchuan was also shocked when he heard the commotion and ran to the lounge with the Qiao family.

Song Fengwan arrived the fastest. From afar, she saw Zhang Suqiu pulling her mother. Yan Zhihuan was on the floor and holding her stomach while crying out loud.

“My stomach, my child…”

Zhang Suqiu grabbed Qiao Aiyun’s clothes tightly and refused to let her leave. “… You hit someone and still want to run? Stop right there.”

“Let go. I didn’t hit her.” Qiao Aiyun frowned. She took into account the child in her stomach and didn’t dare to pull and push her recklessly.

“If you didn’t push her, could she have fallen on her own? She has a child in her stomach. If something happens to the child, I won’t let you off.”

Zhang Suqiu was already difficult to deal with. At this moment, she opened her mouth wide at her, looking as if she wanted to eat her.

Qiao Aiyun tried to break free, but Zhang Suqiu was grabbing her clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

“What are you doing?!” Song Fengwan ran over.

“Wanwan.” Qiao Aiyun had never seen such a shameless person. She was anxious and angry, and this woman was pinching her arm until it hurt.

She took a deep breath and instinctively pushed her away.

Zhang Suqiu wasn’t pushed away. When she saw that Song Fengwan had arrived and that there was a group of people following behind her, she thought that her daughter couldn’t be pushed in vain. She steeled her heart, grabbed Qiao Aiyun’s shoulder, and suddenly exerted force.

“Mom!” Song Fengwan watched as Qiao Aiyun’s back hit the corridor wall, and her face turned green in fright.

Bang! She fell to the floor.

Fu Chen’s eyes narrowed. He was one step faster than Song Fengwan and supported Qiao Aiyun. “Aunt Yun?”

Qiao Aiyun’s back hurt from the collision, and the pearl hairpin on her head fell off. It was so painful that she broke out in cold sweat. After all, she was already middle-aged, so how could she withstand such a collision? She felt as if her bones almost fell apart.

“Mom, are you alright?” Song Fengwan’s eyes instantly reddened as she fell to her knees.

Qiao Aiyun’s spine was aching, and her scalp went numb from the pain. She couldn’t speak for a moment.

“Shi Fang, go get the car!” Fu Chen reached out to carry her.

“Okay.” Shi Fang hurriedly ran out and bumped into Yan Wangchuan. When he saw his dark expression, his heart trembled in fear.

Yan Wangchuan took Qiao Aiyun from Fu Chen’s arms and looked deeply at the mother and daughter not far away.

His gaze was cold and sharp like a freezing blade, piercing to the bone.

Zhang Suqiu was so frightened that her heart trembled. Even Yan Zhihuan didn’t dare to cry out for a moment.

He was already cold and scary to begin with. Now that he was glaring at them, his sharp gaze was terrifying.

But Yan Wangchuan only had thoughts for Qiao Aiyun at this moment, so he naturally had no time to care about them. He held her in his arms and ran out.

He had drunk a lot of alcohol today, so his footsteps were a little unsteady. Thankfully, Yan Shaochen helped support him. Otherwise, the two of them would have rolled down the stairs when they left the hotel.

Old Madam Yan and the Qiao family had just arrived. When they saw this situation, their hearts pounded as they ran out.

…

“Mom—” Yan Zhihuan was still lying on the floor and wailing. “My stomach hurts. Ouch! Is my child going to die?”

Song Fengwan was about to chase after them when she heard Zhang Suqiu suddenly say:

“It’s just a fall. Why are you so delicate? Huanhuan, don’t be afraid. I’ve already called an ambulance.”

Song Fengwan stopped in her tracks and turned around to walk back.

Zhang Suqiu was half-squatting on the ground when she saw a black shadow looming over her. She looked up and saw Song Fengwan. Song Fengwan’s eyes were red as she stared at her fiercely.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhang Suqiu stood up. “Your mother pushed her first. My daughter is pregnant with the Xiao family’s child. If anything happens, I won’t let her off.”

“Boohoo—” Yan Zhihuan was still wailing on the floor. Her voice was ear-piercing. “Mom, my stomach hurts.”

“I’ve really never seen anyone with such a vicious heart. She won’t even let a child off…” Zhang Suqiu saw Fu Chen standing at the side from the corner of her eye.

She had heard someone introduce him at the banquet. He was from the Fu family in Beijing and a distinguished guest of the Yan family. Everyone attached great importance to him, so Song Fengwan probably wouldn’t dare to be rash in front of him.

After all, this person was her elder and a guest. If she dared to be so presumptuous, wouldn’t it be disgraceful?

“If anything happens to my daughter and her child today, I…”

Before Zhang Suqiu could finish speaking, Song Fengwan slapped her.

She was dumbfounded.

When Song Fengwan angrily criticized Yan Zhihuan for slandering her for stealing, Zhang Suqiu wasn’t present and had no idea how powerful she was. She was suddenly slapped, and she forgot to breathe as she looked at her in disbelief.

“You… you hit me?” Zhang Suqiu was already in her forties. At her age, she had never been hit by anyone, let alone a little girl.

“Mom, this damn girl scolded me before.” Yan Zhihuan added fuel to the fire. “You can’t let her off…”

“Shut up!” Song Fengwan shouted at Yan Zhihuan with a cold face.

Yan Zhihuan was so frightened that her face paled, and she didn’t dare to say anything.

“You still dare to reprimand my daughter? This is too much. How dare you hit me? You ill-bred wretched girl, I heard that your biological father is a scumbag. How could the daughter he raised be any better? As expected, you’re not a good thing either.”

Song Fengwan tightened her grip and suddenly loosened it. She raised her hand and slapped her again.

“Say another word?”

“I’m fighting it out with you!” Zhang Suqiu was a shrew to begin with. After being hit twice, she instantly exploded. She reached out to grab her, wishing she could scratch her face.

Song Fengwan wasn’t afraid of her. At this moment, her eyes were red from anxiety, and she wished she could beat her to death.

Just as she raised her arm to hit someone, someone grabbed her shoulder, pulled her back, and blocked in front of her.

Zhang Suqiu was caught off guard and missed. Afraid of falling, she reached out and grabbed Fu Chen’s clothes.

At this moment…

Fu Chen suddenly raised his leg and kicked.

Zhang Suqiu felt a sharp pain in her thigh. Caught off guard, she fell to her knees and screamed.

Fu Chen’s kick was ruthless.

Her thigh was so painful that she was twitching and trembling. Her kneecaps had hit the floor, and she felt as if her bones were about to crack open. She gasped in pain and looked at Fu Chen fiercely.

“You…”

“What?” Fu Chen raised his hand and brushed the corner of his shirt. “You still want to fight me?”

Behind him were Shi Fang and Qian Jiang. Zhang Suqiu naturally didn’t dare to make a sound and could only swallow her anger.

“Mom!” Yan Zhihuan’s pupils constricted slightly.

“I don’t like others touching my clothes. It’s dirty.” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. “I don’t like people looking at me like that either.”

“No one has ever dared to glare at Third Master like that. You’re quite bold,” Shi Fang teased.

Zhang Suqiu lowered her gaze and reached out to rub her thigh. She was sweating from the pain.

At this moment, the ambulance that had been called earlier arrived. The medical staff were running over with a stretcher.

“Let’s go to the hospital.” Fu Chen glanced at Song Fengwan.

***

Nanjiang City Second People’s Hospital…

Qiao Aiyun was sent to the nearest hospital for treatment. Yan Shaochen was driving. After all, he was familiar with the road conditions. As soon as they arrived at the hospital and the medics placed her on a hospital bed, everyone saw the bloodstain on Yan Wangchuan’s chest.

Old Madam Yan’s vision blurred, and she almost fainted.

When the doctor rushed over and saw Yan Wangchuan, his heart skipped a beat. Just now, in the office, they were still discussing his big wedding today. Yan Jewelries was holding a discount sale, but unfortunately, they couldn’t afford it.

“What happened?”

“She was hit.” Qiao Wangbei’s face was cold from beginning to end.

Just as the doctor was about to examine her, Qiao Xiyan added, “She’s pregnant.”

The doctors and nurses nearby were dumbfounded.

They never heard that Mrs. Yan was pregnant.

Qiao Aiyun was unconscious at this moment. After the doctor invited the family members out, he pulled the curtain closed and checked her lower body. Because she was wearing a red wedding dress, the amount of blood flowing out was not very clear. When he took off her clothes, the smell of blood hit his face.

“Contact Dr. Zhao immediately.”

…

On the other side, Yan Zhihuan was also sent to a hospital. It had been a few hours since the Xiao family received the news.

No one from the Xiao family came to Yan Wangchuan’s wedding. They only sent someone to give him their gift. Many people knew that Xiao Jingan had gotten Yan Zhihuan pregnant before getting married. The Xiao family was also afraid that people would criticize them behind their backs, so they didn’t come at all.

So when the Xiao family heard that something had happened to her at the wedding, they were very surprised.

The moment Xiao Jingan entered the ward, he saw Yan Zhihuan’s ashen face. She was wearing a hospital gown, and her lips were dry and pale. She was crying very miserably.

“Jingan, our child is gone.”

Sitting at the side, Zhang Suqiu was wiping her tears.

Mrs. Xiao had been busy preparing the wedding recently. When she heard that something had happened to Yan Zhihuan, she was thunderstruck. They were only getting married on account of the child. Now that the invitation had been sent out, if something really happened to the child, wouldn’t it be…

At this moment, a female doctor was standing beside her and nodded. “We tried our best.”

Mrs. Xiao almost collapsed to the floor.

“Jingan, I didn’t take good care of Huanhuan.” Zhang Suqiu was also crying. “In-laws, it’s all my fault.”

“What exactly happened?” Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath and asked.

“It’s all because of Qiao Aiyun. She’s also a mother. She’s simply crazy. She clearly knows that Huanhuan is pregnant, yet she still pushed her.”

Zhang Suqiu pointed at her own face.

“Look at it yourselves. My face was slapped by her daughter.

“This mother and daughter are too virulent.”

…

On the other side…

After Qiao Aiyun was sent to the emergency room, Yan Wangchuan exploded. “Where are they?”

After asking around, they found out that Yan Zhihuan had been sent to Bo’ai Hospital.

“Bo’ai Hospital?” Old Madam Yan was in disbelief.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Wangbei also planned to settle scores with them.

“Bo’ai Hospital is in the suburbs, and it takes more than half an hour to drive there from the hotel. Didn’t they call an ambulance? Why did they drag her there?”

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to check on Nanjiang’s Bo’ai Hospital. It would take more than half an hour to drive from the hotel where the accident happened. Although he wasn’t familiar with Nanjiang, he knew very well that ambulances would go to the nearest hospital in principle, and patients could also request to be sent to certain hospitals.

Nanjiang City Second People’s Hospital was less than ten minutes away from the scene of the accident.

Isn’t she pregnant and suffering from abdominal pain?

How could she bear to take half an hour to go to a hospital so far away?

Moreover, it’s a private hospital and has a lot of inflated expenses.

The family conditions of the person that Yan Zhihuan was about to marry weren’t bad either. Even if it was a normal pregnancy check-up, it was impossible to find such a hospital. It was not a specialized hospital for women and children. Moreover, it was only a primary hospital1with very poor facilities.

Her daughter had been knocked down while pregnant, so it was already abnormal for her to keep arguing with Qiao Aiyun instead of calling for help and sending her to the hospital. Now that he thought about it, the two of them had probably planned to perform this show long ago.

It had been too chaotic at the time, so Fu Chen hadn’t thought much about it. But now that he looked at the whole thing, there were too many suspicious points.

Since Fu Chen could think of this, Old Madam Yan naturally also could. Although she was getting old, she had supported the Yan family by herself and had seen many things, so she immediately understood the crux of the matter.

“Beasts! They’re worse than beasts! I thought they were pitiful and had been taking care of them. I didn’t expect to raise two ingrates!

“They’re worse than beasts. They’re scum!

“I was really muddled.”

Old Madam Yan beat her chest and stomped her feet, feeling anxious and guilty. Actually, if Yan Wangchuan hadn’t suddenly gotten married, this mother and daughter wouldn’t have exposed their true nature and felt that their interests were damaged and that they wouldn’t be able to gain anything from the Yan family.

If not for Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan, they could have performed this show for the rest of their lives.

Hearing Old Madam Yan’s words, everyone seemed to understand some things. Yan Wangchuan’s and Qiao Wangbei’s faces were even uglier.

Song Fengwan had been staring at the door of the emergency room and had no time to care about this at all.

Fu Chen licked the inside of his cheek with the tip of his tongue.

That mother and daughter just wanted to find someone to take the blame and slander Aunt Yun. They thought that pushing Aunt Yun wouldn’t be a big deal. But in the end, their fake pregnancy encountered a real pregnancy?

They will likely die ugly deaths.

Bang! Yan Wangchuan suddenly raised his hand and punched the wall hard. His knuckles turned purple from the impact. He had drunk a lot of alcohol earlier, and his eyes were bloodshot. If he rushed over now, he would really be able to tear the mother and daughter apart.

Bo’ai Hospital was too far away. Even though he wanted to skin those two alive, he could only endure this anger and wait for Qiao Aiyun to come out.

Fu Chen glanced at the emergency room. Even if Aunt Yun is fine, looking at Yan Wangchuan’s state, he has to kill those two. If anything happens…
