Xu Wanwan stayed in the hospital for three days. During these three days, she seemed to have an anxiety attack from the previous incident.
She had to be extremely careful even when turning over, fearing that any sudden movement might endanger the child.
Qin He felt heartbroken watching her. Qin Yun stayed by Xu Wanwan's side every day now.
Finally, after three days, she was discharged.
Qin Family Residence.
On the sofa in the living room sat Ming Yuzhu, Qin Yun, and Qin He.
On the other side sat Grandpa Xu and Xu Wanwan's parents.
On yet another side sat Gu Qichen and Yan Chen.
Standing in the center now was Zhu Xiaochuan.
Zhu Xiaochuan trembled, her gaze towards Yan Chen filled with resentment.
After the incident that day, although she didn't dare to tell Yan Chen, she immediately went to his side.
She thought that if anything happened, Yan Chen could protect her.
But she never expected that with one phone call from Gu Qichen, Yan Chen would immediately confront her and declare their breakup!
Grandpa Xu's expression was stern: "My intention is to prosecute for intentional injury. Although we are a prominent family in Qingcheng, we must still abide by the law."
Xu Mama glared at Zhu Xiaochuan, her eyes turning red with hatred: "We only have this one precious daughter in the Xu family! It's good that Wanwan is alright; if anything had happened, I would kill you even if I had to go to prison!"
Xu Baba coldly glared at Zhu Xiaochuan, then comfortingly placed a hand on Xu Mama's shoulder.
Zhu Xiaochuan, forcibly brought by Yan Chen, now stood in the center, her heart filled with hatred.
"It wasn't intentional! What intentional injury? If she hadn't stopped me, would I have pushed her?! This is self-defense!"
"Self-defense?" Qin He sneered. "Zhu Xiaochuan, she was only stopping you to clarify things, she wasn't planning to fight. You directly pushed a pregnant woman. Are you even human?"
Qin He's chest heaved with anger.
"Then why didn't she let me leave? I have the right to personal freedom. You, all of you, are breaking the law!"
Zhu Xiaochuan now harbored intense hatred for Qin He, blaming her for causing Yan Chen to break up with her!
But she knew she couldn't be prosecuted. If the Qin and Xu families sued her, how could she ever recover?
The Xu family could make her spend her entire life in prison with just a slight effort!
Qin He looked at Zhu Xiaochuan coldly: "I have the surveillance footage from that day. Do you want to replay what you said?"
Qin He directly took out her phone and threw it onto the table.
Zhu Xiaochuan's voice emanated from it.
"Your store really accepts any kind of customer. That Qin He is a discarded wife, clingingly attached to Gu Qichen. After her divorce, she had a child. Who knows whose bastard it is."
"I heard she even got close to Lu Mingxi. This child is probably Lu Mingxi's, and then she latched onto Gu Qichen. A woman like that is a slut."
"And that Xu Wanwan, that Miss Xu is also throwing herself at Qin Yun. Qin Yun doesn't pay attention to her, so she goes after my boyfriend. Fortunately, my boyfriend didn't want her. Look at her, with how close these sisters-in-law are, maybe her baby is also a bastard."
"Didn't Qin Yun have fertility problems? They say Qin He cured him, but I don't believe it. I bet she found someone to borrow a seed from."
Qin He looked at Zhu Xiaochuan coldly.
As the audio played, everyone in the room's expressions changed drastically!
"Zhu Xiaochuan, are you sick?" Yan Chen roared, standing up and pointing at Zhu Xiaochuan as he cursed.
Others might slander with rumors, but Zhu Xiaochuan was actively spewing filth.
Seeing Yan Chen, Zhu Xiaochuan lost her composure.
Her heart was entirely set on Yan Chen; she desperately wanted to become Madam Yan.
"Yan Chen! Did I say something wrong?" Zhu Xiaochuan, tears streaming down her face, glared at Yan Chen. "Qin He is shameless. You are clearly Gu Qichen's brother, yet she still seduces you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Chen was stunned!
"Am I talking nonsense? If she hadn't seduced you, why would you always praise her, saying she's the most insightful person you've ever met! Dare you say you don't have any impure thoughts yourself!"
The moment these words were spoken, both Gu Qichen's and Yan Chen's faces darkened!
Qin He felt an agonizing pain in her teeth. "In your eyes, any slight admiration between a man and a woman must be illicit? And if it's illicit, it must be the woman seducing the man?"
Zhu Xiaochuan's eyes were bloodshot. "There's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. Yan Chen, you are coveting your brother's woman!
And Xu Wanwan, you were almost engaged, and you can still be friends?
Who knows what their intentions are? Perhaps even with a husband, they want to seduce someone else's boyfriend. Perhaps they enjoy that feeling!"
Yan Chen could no longer tolerate it and stepped forward, slapping her.
He rarely hit women, but this time he truly couldn't hold back.
"I thought you were gentle and sensible before. It seems you've been putting on a very good act," Yan Chen said, his face ashen with anger.
Zhu Xiaochuan, covering her face, looked at the grim faces of the Qin and Xu families, and then at Yan Chen's fury.
"You're just relying on your power and influence, thinking that no one sees through the things you do! It's fine if you don't admit it, but I know, I know it's like this!"
Qin He pursed her lips tightly.
Zhu Xiaochuan clearly believed her own words.
She genuinely thought that Yan Chen, Qin He, and Xu Wanwan were all entangled.
But the elders of the Xu and Yan families had been friends for many years, and Yan Chen and Xu Wanwan were now ordinary friends.
Yet, all these normal interactions were filled with ambiguity in Zhu Xiaochuan's eyes.
"Indeed, those with dirty minds see everything as dirty," Qin He remarked with a sigh.
Zhu Xiaochuan stared at Qin He with hatred. "Do you think you are so pure? Do you believe you haven't interfered between me and Yan Chen? But you have always been between us!"
Qin He sneered. "No, it's only in your depraved mind that this is the case."
Gu Qichen reached out and put his arm around Qin He's shoulder. "Calm down."
"My eyes have been opened today!" Qin He glared at Zhu Xiaochuan. "Because of your narrow-minded and filthy thoughts, you have harmed my family. Zhu Xiaochuan, you must pay the price for this!"
"We will sue you for intentional injury for the harm you caused Wanwan. I will also hand over the recordings of you gossiping with the store employees to the judge, and sue you for defamation and insult. Reflect well in prison!"
Zhu Xiaochuan's eyes widened. She knew she couldn't contend with the Qin and Xu families.
She had thought Yan Chen would help her, but Yan Chen himself had brought her here.
At this moment, Zhu Xiaochuan turned to look at Yan Chen.
"Yan Chen! Are you really going to watch her treat me like this?"
Yan Chen wished he could block his ears. He never expected that the seemingly understanding Zhu Xiaochuan had always thought of him this way!
He felt utterly insulted.
"Zhu Xiaochuan, from now on, I don't want to hear a single word from you. Get as far away from me as possible!"
Zhu Xiaochuan's eyes were filled with hatred as she was forcefully dragged out.
A few seconds of silence fell upon the living room. Qin He stood up and walked towards the Xu family.
She bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Xu, Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu. It was because I took Wanwan out, and Wanwan didn't let her leave because she overheard her badmouthing me. If it weren't for me, Wanwan wouldn't be lying upstairs unable to get out of bed right now."
Qin He's heart was filled with guilt, and her nose tingled.
She deeply regretted not being wary of Zhu Xiaochuan.
