Chapter 60
Either Pay Up Or Get Locked Up
Simultaneously, in the hospital where Qin Fang was undergoing her postpartum confinement.
Madam Qin held tightly onto her son, Qin Gang, with no plans to loosen her grip. “Qin Gang, you mustn’t let the police take me away! I have a hole on my head. This incident has nothing to do with me. It’s all her fault; that uneducated, motherless jinx of a witch, Ruan Mengmeng, tried to hurt me…”
After receiving a call from his wife, Qin Gang was the first to rush over to visit his mother. Holding his mother in his embrace, his eyebrows were closely knitted in a frown.
“Mom, don’t worry… Zhang Ping went upstairs to see Qin Fang. Lil Sis has her ways. I’m sure she’ll come up with something.”
“Oh lord, what can she come up with… We’re talking about two million here… Oh lord…” Madam Qin’s tears welled as she spoke.
She had never seen two million in her entire life. Yet, the police warned her that if she could not pay the compensation worth two million, she would be captured and thrown into prison.
At her age, how could she ever afford to be sentenced, or to offend that particular person?!
“Mom, lower your volume! I told the policemen outside that you’re still unconscious. Don’t let them hear you.”
Her son’s words made Madam Qin swallow her sobs.
Suddenly, once her sobs dissipated, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
“Zhao- Zhaotian? Why are you here?” Madam Qin looked at Ruan Zhaotian with a confused look as he appeared.
Yuan Yaotian had always thought of Chen Qingzhi’s mother as his only mother-in-law, and had completely ignored Madam Qin’s existence as his mother-in-law too.
It was only after Qin Fang was pregnant with his son, that he started to act more amiably to Madam Qin.
Madam Qin was not even sure if he would agree to help her since he came alone this time.
“Why am I here? I was just about to ask you how in the world did you end up here!” With his gaze on Madam Qin’s tightly bandaged head, Ruan Zhaotian did not spare her an ounce of concern and told her off instead.
“The policemen outside told me that you caused quite a ruckus at Royal Birch-leaf Pear, smashing their vase that’s worth more than two million bucks into pieces! Tell me, what business does an old lady like you have at Royal Birch-leaf Pear? Even so, what tantrum were you playing at, smashing a vase on your own head?!”
“I… I didn’t…” Madam Qin started to panic. In her frenzy, her tongue loosened to reveal the truth. “It’s all that wench, Ruan Mengmeng’s fault! She insulted me. So, I wanted to throw the vase at her head. Who knew…”
“What?!” Ruan Zhaotian’s eyes almost fell out of its socket. “How dare you throw a vase at Ruan Mengmeng’s head?!”
That was her dearest daughter whom he could not even bear to harm a single hair of. Yet, this difficult old woman wanted to smash in Ruan Mengmeng’s head with a vase?!
Although Ruan Zhaotian listened to Qin Fang’s wishes for the past few days, he wanted to use Ruan Mengmeng to teach Madam Qin a lesson, to put a stop to her demanding ruthlessness.
Yet, he loved his daughter from the bottom of his heart.
“Zhaotian, all I wanted by telling the kid off was to help you and Qin Fang. Little did you know what Ruan Mengmeng speaks of you two.”
“I don’t want to hear any of it!” Ruan Zhaotian would never believe Madam Qin’s bullshit.
“I’m going to the police now. We, the Ruan family, would never pay that two million. I’ll tell them to end the case quickly. Whoever needs to be jailed, should be jailed!”
Both Madam Qin’s and Qin Gang’s faces turned white with shock. As Madam Qin was about to beg for Ruan Zhaotian’s forgiveness, a voice that sounded like it endured the grace of age sounded from the ward’s entrance.
“Zhaotian, is that the way to speak to your mother-in-law? Your mother-in-law merely wished to teach that brat a lesson for Lil Yu’s sake!”
