1551 Reveal the Truth
“She’s not my mother, she’s my friend’s mother. If you’ve been Doctor Qian’s patient for so many years, shouldn’t you know his wife’s name?” Qiao Mei said sarcastically.

Qian Wang said stiffly, “Leave her to me. I’ll treat her.”

“Don’t touch her! I don’t believe that you can make her well again! How do all these injuries come about? Don’t say that it’s the result of an accident or that she had been in a fight. Any doctor can tell that these are wounds that can only be caused by getting hit with a stick or a whip,” Qiao Mei pointed at Zhao Ni’s back and questioned him angrily.

She grabbed a random nurse and asked, “Take a look and tell me what kind of wound you think this is.”

“It’s unlikely to be caused by a rod or stick. It’s probably something long and thin, more likely a whip or bamboo cane,” the nurse said as she analyzed the situation objectively.

Qiao Mei pointed at Qian Wang and said, “This woman is the wife of this ‘good doctor’ you’re all talking about! She has been married to him for almost 30 years!”

The other doctors and nurses in the ward looked at Qian Wang with complicated expressions. Everyone saw Qian Wang as a gentleman who was very responsible and had the mildest temper in their department. Many young ladies even said that they wanted to marry a man like Qian Wang.

One could never judge a book by its cover. No one would have thought that Qian Wang was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He was a completely different person from the person they knew!

“Don’t kick up a fuss here. If you want her to get treatment, then talk about other issues later.” Qian Wang still wanted to take Zhao Ni with him.

Qiao Mei immediately said, “Your mother came to cause trouble at my factory this morning. In fact, there have been rumors spreading in the factory recently. I’m guessing that all these have something to do with you. You should take leave and go home to the police station to fetch your mother. Then come back to the hospital with money to pay for the medical treatment for your daughter and wife. After all, both of them were injured by your mother.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Qian Wang shouted agitatedly.

After Qian Wang’s department chief heard what Qiao Mei said, he said, “Qian Wang, you’d better go home. I’ll let you take a break during this period of time. You should stay at home and take good care of your aged mother.”

Since Qian Wang was involved in the criminal act of hurting a woman, Qiao Mei decided to go the extra mile and nail him down. She made a call to the director of women’s affairs for the neighborhood and told her everything. The community group quickly set about to do their own investigation on the matter.

Zhao Ni had offended many neighbors all this while, but she mainly quarreled with her neighbors and had never done anything nasty to them. These neighbors were also always bad-mouthing Zhao Ni and Qian’e behind the two women’s backs. Since the neighbors were also in the wrong, they naturally would not criticize Zhao Ni too much.

However, it was a different situation for Old Madam Qian. She had already chased away all her neighbors in the vicinity and was also very unfriendly to the other residents in the neighborhood. Every time she walked around, she would scold everyone she saw and acted authoritatively just because she was an elder.

“Director Qiao, don’t worry. We will definitely take good care of this lady. I’ll take care of her treatment myself,” the department chief said.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you. Just go ahead and use the best medicine. We can afford it,” Qiao Mei said.

The department chief followed Qiao Mei’s instructions closely. Currently, all the talk in the ward was about Qian Wang’s family and how disgusting a person he was. Qiao Mei was overjoyed and wished she could bring Qian’e outside to set off a couple of firecrackers to celebrate.

Qiao Mei went to the office block to look for Liu Yang. It had been a long time since she last saw him.

“Uncle Liu, it’s me!” Qiao Mei said as she walked into the office with a smile.

“Oh my! Mei Mei! Why didn’t you call to tell me that you’re coming!” After a moment of excitement, Liu Yang immediately turned serious and said, “Are you feeling unwell? Is there something wrong with the baby? I’ll call Xia Fang now and ask her to arrange for a checkup immediately. Don’t be scared!”

Qiao Mei quickly stopped him and said, “Uncle Liu, I’m fine! I’m just here to have a chat with you. Why are you so agitated?”

“How can I not be agitated? Don’t you know what this place is!” Liu Yang said disdainfully.

Why would anyone come to the hospital for no reason?

“Do you need something from me?” Liu Yang asked.
