179: Chapter 179: Su He’s Style 179: Chapter 179: Su He’s Style Mrs.
Ji was very surprised by Su He’s straightforward and frank words.
Beside her, Yang Li and Director Li were even more so.
Who could have imagined that Su He’s actions were so decisive.
In fact, their understanding of Su He was not extensive; they had only met her once before Su Yimo started school and had a chat.
Afterward, they had more contact with Su Yimo’s father.
Director Li was aware of Jiang Yan’s identity.
Although she was not very clear about why Su Yimo bore the surname Su instead of Jiang, no one in the entire Yue City dared to provoke the Jiang Family.
Moreover, today, Mrs.
Ji had slapped someone else’s child.
All she hoped now was that her kindergarten wouldn’t be involved in the troubles, so she chose to turn a blind eye to Su He’s actions.
Having said her piece, Su He glanced indifferently at Mrs.
Ji, who was protected behind by Ji Yu.
“Mrs.
Ji, your grandson is precious, and must not be bullied; I understand that.
On the contrary, my son is my treasure too, and naturally, I cannot bear to see a grain of sand that hurts him in my eyes.
Putting aside who’s right or wrong for the moment, as an elder, you should not have laid a hand on a child!
This matter could have been a minor issue, something that the two children could work out by talking.
However, since you, Mrs.
Ji, raised your hand first, this has become a different matter!
Moreover, it was your family’s child who made the first move.
There is no need for me to spell out who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong.
Prepare to discuss this case with a lawyer; I have nothing more to explain.”
Each of Su He’s words was filled with an oppressive force.
Mrs.
Ji and Ji Yu were stunned, particularly when they heard her mention “lawyer,” a flash of panic crossed their eyes.
But Su He did not give them the chance to speak.
She turned to Director Li and Teacher Yang, saying, “Director, Teacher Yang, I will take Su Yimo home now.
Thank you for your help today.”
Director Li was relieved to hear how politely Su He spoke, sensing that Su He did not blame the kindergarten.
She immediately smiled apologetically, “Yimo’s mother, there’s no need for such courtesy.
This is our responsibility.
We apologize for Yimo getting hurt at our kindergarten.
If there is anything you need us to help with, please just let us know.”
They truly had not anticipated Mrs.
Ji’s aggressive behavior, directly resorting to violence on a child, and indeed, they had overlooked it.
Yang Li then said, “Yimo’s mother, I will go pack up Yimo’s things, and you can take them with you.”
Su He nodded, “Okay, thank you.”
Regarding what the Director had just said, Mrs.
Ji and Ji Yu were not fools; it was clear that the Director was on Su He’s side, and seemed quite respectful towards Su He.
So, what was Su He’s identity?
This left the mother and daughter quite puzzled.
Outside, the little guy was neatly standing by himself, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, a tall dark shadow loomed over him, and he looked up dazedly to see Jiang Yan standing before him.
“Daddy~”
The little guy’s eyes brightened, and he called out sweetly.
When his teacher had called, he had been in a meeting and his phone was charging in the office, so he did not receive the call.
As soon as he finished the meeting, he saw the message from the teacher and hurried over.
Jiang Yan naturally noticed the palm print on the little guy’s face at first glance.
The man’s abyss-like, dark eyes immediately plummeted to their depths.
If not for the presence of the little guy, his expression would have been even more grim and intimidating.
With a long reach of his arm, he easily lifted the little guy up.
He then asked the same question as Su He did, “Does it hurt?”
The little guy blinked, his voice milky and soft, “It doesn’t hurt if you don’t touch it.”
The unspoken message was: it still hurts.
After all, he was delicate and tender-skinned; being slapped would naturally hurt.
A deep sorrow filled the man’s eyes.
Before he could say anything, Su Baobao hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, “Mommy is still inside, and I heard her hit someone just now.”
Jiang Yan was briefly startled, but not overly surprised.
He patted the little guy’s head, “Hmm, it’s fine.
Mommy is getting justice for you.”
Su Baobao wasn’t worried about her mother being at a disadvantage; after all, he understood his mother’s character.
Just as he was about to take the little guy inside, Su He came out.
Seeing Jiang Yan, she wasn’t surprised either.
At this moment, Teacher Yang came over with Su Yimo’s little backpack and water bottle.
“Yimo’s mother, here are Yimo’s backpack and water bottle.”
She handed them to Su He, who took them and said, “Thank you.”
Immediately after, Teacher Yang said, “Yimo’s mother, Yimo’s father, I’m very sorry.
If I had been more vigilant and watched over Yimo, he wouldn’t have been slapped.”
Yang Li was quite fond of Su Yimo; not only was he handsome and cute, but he was also especially obedient, understanding, and quite amusing.
Before Su He and Jiang Yan had a chance to speak, Su Yimo himself spoke up first.
He said to Yang Li with his childish voice, “Teacher Yang, this isn’t your fault.
Baby doesn’t blame you, and neither will my mommy and daddy.
Please don’t feel guilty.”
Hearing his words, Yang Li’s heart grew warmer, and her affection for him increased even more.
Su He then said, “Thank you for today, Teacher Yang.
Also, for this week, I’ve already requested leave for him.
We’ll bring him back next week.”
Su He took the opportunity to request some time off for the little guy.
“Alright, no problem.”
Soon after, the two of them left the kindergarten with the child.
As soon as Jiang Yan came out holding Su Yimo, Fifth Young Master Jiang, who was waiting outside, immediately noticed the slap mark on the little one’s face, and his heart screamed in shock.
Oh my god, who was so blind to dare hit their little young master?
So, after getting into the car, he drove directly to the hospital without asking any questions.
After arriving at the hospital.
Su He still felt uneasy and took Su Yimo to get an X-ray.
Because they had notified in advance, they went straight for the X-ray upon arriving at the hospital.
The slap mark was so clear; obviously Mrs.
Ji had put some force into it.
By chance, Su Tianyi was also at the hospital, having just finished a meeting.
Hearing the news from his assistant, he hurried down.
The pediatric doctors and nurses were stunned when they saw him, after all, the director usually wouldn’t make rounds to various departments unless it was something serious.
The family of three sat in the corridor waiting for results.
“Hey, Young Uncle.”
Su Baobao was the first to spot Su Tianyi and called out crisply.
Su He lifted her head and saw Su Tianyi rushing over, looking dusty and travel-worn.
“What happened?” Su Tianyi hurried over and asked.
Su He was slightly surprised by the appearance of Su Tianyi; she hadn’t informed him.
The assistant following Su Tianyi explained proactively, “Um, Dr.
Su, I was the one who told the director.”
Because before coming to the hospital, Su He had sent a message to him to notify the pediatric department that she would bring the child for a checkup.
So, after Su Tianyi finished his meeting, the assistant mentioned it to him.
Upon hearing this, Su He looked at him and nodded to show her understanding.
Then, she turned to face Su Tianyi, but before she could speak, her young uncle said, “What happened to the child’s face?
Who hit him?”
Su Baobao, seeing his concern, explained himself with his young and innocent voice, “Young Uncle, I’m okay, don’t worry.
Mommy is just being cautious and brought me to get checked out.”
After hearing the little one’s words, Su Tianyi picked him up and examined him closely himself.
In fact, Su Tianyi was quite worried when he heard that Su He brought the child to the hospital.
After all, this child was the Su Family’s precious baby, and even more so, his own grand-nephew.
How could he not worry?
“Are the results out yet?” Su Tianyi asked the couple.
Su He replied, “Not yet, it was just completed a short while ago.”
Just as she finished speaking, the door to the consultation room opened.
The nurse was taken aback when she saw who was outside, called out “Director” to Su Tianyi, then turned to Su He and said, “Dr.
Su, the results are ready, you can come in now.”
The pediatric doctors inside the consultation room were dumbfounded by the scene before them.
Why is the director here too?
But before he had time to wonder about it, Su He asked directly, “Doctor Chen, what are the results?”
Doctor Chen snapped out of his reverie and said, “The child’s brain CT scan results show no issues, so you can rest assured about that.”
While saying this, he moved the computer to her so she could see for herself.
Su He glanced at the CT scan on the computer and indeed, there seemed to be no problem.
Then, Doctor Chen continued, “However, the child has minor damage to his soft tissue and eardrums, but you don’t need to worry too much about this either.
As long as he rests well, avoids further injury, and takes some medicine, he will be fine.
It’s not a big problem.”
She understood all that he said, but it still pained her to hear it.
“In a bit, I’ll prescribe some medicine.
You just need to go and pick it up.
There’s no need for an IV drip, but if the child experiences tinnitus in the next two days, make sure to come back,” Doctor Chen advised.
Aside from some pain in his cheeks, Su Yimo didn’t have any other discomfort, but some issues might arise in the next few days.
However, if there are no problems, that would be for the best.
At this moment, Su Tianyi’s deep voice rang out, “Doctor Chen, are you sure that this child does not need to be hospitalized for observation?”
He had naturally understood what Doctor Chen just said, but he was still not at ease.
For a moment, Doctor Chen was not sure how to respond.
According to normal procedures, the child really didn’t need hospital observation.
Before he could answer, Su Tianyi turned to look at Jiang Yan and Su He beside him and said: “Both of you have to work and it’s not convenient for you to take care of the child.
While there are servants at home, they can’t care for him as thoroughly as family.
In that case, since your Young Aunt is on a holiday at home these days, it would be best if we send Xixi to our house.
Your Young Aunt can take care of Xixi for a few days until he gets better, and then we can send him back to you.
If you want to see him, you can come over anytime.”
The couple were silent: “…”
Su He could sense the hidden meaning in her brother’s words.
It seems he wanted to whisk her son away to his house.
Thinking about it, it made sense, as Su Tianyi had mentioned more than once that he wanted her to take Su Baobao to stay with him for a few days, although it never happened.
Su Baobao was just as stunned, wondering when he had to stay with his Young Uncle.
Doctor Chen and another nurse were shocked on the spot, nearly dropping their jaws.
The two immediately realized some big news.
If Su He calls their director Young Aunt, then the director must be her uncle?
Heavens!
Does that mean the director and Doctor Su are relatives?
This realization flashed through their minds, then settled down as dust.
No wonder they both shared the surname Su; initially, many people did not think along these lines, after all, sharing the same surname isn’t rare.
Because sharing a surname does not mean they are family, but now… one must admit, sometimes there are exceptions.
This news spread quickly through the hospital.
…
In the end, Su Yimo did not manage to go to Su Tianyi’s house; he went back home with Su He instead.
Because Jiang Yan said he would stay at home with the little guy for the next few days.
Su He’s job was rather unique and she couldn’t work from home.
At least Jiang Yan could work from home, so not going to the office for a few days wouldn’t be an issue.
Additionally, she had two surgeries scheduled for the following two days and couldn’t afford to take time off again.
Meanwhile, the Ji Family received a legal notice at around five in the afternoon.
At that time, the atmosphere in the Ji Family was unusually gloomy and tense.
“Mom, have you lost your mind?
Why did you hit a child?”
“The kindergarten Mingxuan was attending wasn’t just any ordinary kindergarten.
All of the children there come from families that are either wealthy or powerful, and moreover, they all have significant backgrounds.
Regardless of which child it is, our Ji Family can’t afford to offend any of them.
Yet you went ahead and slapped someone’s child.
Have you thought about the consequences?”
The one who spoke was Ji Ting, the Ji Family’s second son.
His face ashen, full of rage, he paced back and forth in the middle of the hall, his stream of words not ceasing.
“Don’t you know how much effort and resources my brother had to put into getting Mingxuan into that kindergarten?
How much the Ji Family had to pay?
And now it’s all going to turn to nothing.
It’s one thing to offend someone, but you had to offend a big shot at the top of the food chain!”
That person is from the esteemed Jiang Family, the apex of high society, the feared Fifth Young Master Jiang.
Who dares to ask for his forgiveness?
And it was a legal notice from the top lawyer Wan Muqi’s team; doesn’t that equate to having lost the lawsuit before even fighting?
Ji Ting was livid about the situation.
The Ji Family was already in deep waters, and now they had provoked the Jiang Family, this top-level magnate.
It was truly adding insult to injury.
Mrs.
Ji sat on the sofa, looking utterly disheartened.
She never expected things to get so serious.
She admitted she got a bit carried away and lost control of her temper.
Ji Ting spoke to her furiously, “I think you’re aiming to be the third person from our Ji Family to end up in jail!”
Starting from his older brother Ji Lei, to his sister-in-law Luo Yi just a few days ago, both members of the couple had been incarcerated.
The luck of the family seemed utterly cursed!
He was starting to worry about who would be next.
After hearing his words, Mrs.
Ji’s face turned even paler, marked with panic and fear.
“What…
what do we do?
Son, I’m old, I can’t withstand this kind of ordeal.”
Ji Ting couldn’t be bothered with his mother anymore.
Anyway, he couldn’t save her.
Of all people to hit, she had to strike a child from the Jiang Family.
The original purpose of sending Ji Mingxuan to that kindergarten was to tap into the resources of the other children’s parents, all because of the saying “proximity to the ruler provides an advantage.”
It was necessary to lay a solid foundation for the Ji Family’s development, step by step, but now it seemed that all the preliminary efforts had come to an end, and the money spent previously had gone to waste.
…
The next morning.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Su He discovered that everyone was looking at her strangely.
She turned to Lan Yan, Lu Zhenyu, and the others, and asked, “What happened during the half-day I was absent that I don’t know about?”
Lan Yan, hearing her question, realized that she hadn’t checked WeChat since last night, and it was even possible that she hadn’t looked at her phone at all; otherwise, she wouldn’t be unaware of the reason.
Because last night, Lan Yan had already informed her about the matter on WeChat.
She was just about to explain when Lu Zhenyu beat her to it, “Director Su, everyone knows about your relationship with the dean now.
You’re really the dean’s niece?”
Actually, when he saw the news in the group yesterday, he wasn’t even surprised.
After all, Su He’s identity as the Young Madam of the Jiang Family was already shocking enough; the fact that she was related to the dean wasn’t strange at all.
Su He’s hand holding the cup paused for a moment, “Who spread it?”
Lu Zhenyu replied, “The message originated from pediatrics, I don’t know who exactly, there are quite a lot of people there after all.”
Su He: “…”
Meanwhile, An Xueyin sat in her office, her face frighteningly grim.
Last night, from the mouth of a former colleague at the hospital, she heard that Su He was actually the dean’s niece of City First Hospital.
She hadn’t fully digested this news since last night.
But she remembered that after Su He was kicked out of the An Family, she was left in the care of her grandparents in the countryside.
How could she possibly have an uncle who was a dean?
If Su He really was the dean’s niece, then her previous dismissal made sense.
Thinking back on it, the way Su He had spoken to her was always so confident; it was all because she had a dean as an uncle.
As she dwelt on these thoughts, it seemed like something else suddenly occurred to her.
She squinted slightly, a dark shade lurking in her eyes.
But who knows whether this uncle was a real uncle or a fake one.
One can’t be considered part of a family simply because they share the same last name.
Anyway, she wouldn’t believe it until it was officially confirmed.
For now, it was just a rumor with no official announcement acknowledging the truth.
Because Su He’s threat from last time was still vivid in her mind, that damned woman still had those videos and photos of her.
Every time she thought about it, she wanted to skin Su He alive!
Moreover, she had thought that once Su He knew the true cause of her mother’s death, she would take revenge on the An Family.
But she had waited so long and hadn’t seen her do anything to the An Family.
That wasn’t Su He’s style.
Immediately, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
After a few seconds, the call was answered.
“Hello, Ms.
Sirou, are you free?
I’d like to treat you to a meal.”
