"Fight, beating someone?" Li Xiaoxia was dizzy from the teacher’s barrage of words, and after seemingly understanding, she asked repeatedly, "Was Baozhen injured?"
"Uh, several children sustained minor injuries, but Student Fan Baozhen’s injury is a bit more serious..." The teacher’s voice sounded somewhat feeble.
If it wasn’t for Fan Baozhen’s injury being the most severe, they wouldn’t be in such a rush to contact the parents!
The most important thing was that Fan Baozhen had previously taken sick leave due to a fever and had only just recovered. Now that she had been brought back to school by Li Xiaoxia, the disturbance and agitation had brought on the condition again, and the internal heat couldn’t dissipate...
"What!" Li Xiaoxia felt completely disoriented and asked loudly in shock.
"Mrs. Fan, it’s not clear over the phone, please come to the school immediately to discuss the situation, is that possible?"
"Okay, I’ll be right there!" As soon as Li Xiaoxia hung up the phone, she immediately called her husband, but after trying twice, she found that his line was still busy, which infuriated her even more.
Finally, when the call connected, she screamed into the phone:
"Fan Fengshou, who is that vixen you’re fooling around with instead of working? Your daughter has been beaten up at school! Get to the school right now!"
After saying this, she hung up the phone with a resounding "click."
Mrs. Li had been listening to her daughter’s phone call this whole time, staying silent as she sensed her urgency. Now, hearing about her granddaughter being beaten at school, she jumped in fright:
"Ay, my dear granddaughter, how badly was she hurt? What did her teacher say? No, I must go with you to the school to see how Baozhen is..."
"Mom, don’t move, I’ll go by myself, it will be quicker. I don’t know what’s happening there. You have difficulty getting around, just stay home and rest. I’ll bring Baozhen straight back here later, don’t worry."
Li Xiaoxia took a deep breath first, then pressed down on her mother, who was attempting to stand up, spoke quickly, grabbed her handbag, and disappeared from the Li Family like a gust of wind.
"Xiaoxia—" Mrs. Li wanted to say she could go too but considering her mobility issues, she could only watch her daughter disappear worriedly, with a tumult of anxious thoughts.
Aware that her daughter had difficulty conceiving, Mrs. Li truly cherished her only granddaughter, treating her as if she were her own, especially since the Li Family only had two grandsons; everyone was very fond of Baozhen.
Hearing that Baozhen was injured at school, Mrs. Li sat at home restlessly, growing increasingly uncomfortable, to the point that she simply picked up the phone and called her son, both to get him involved with his son-in-law and to check on the situation at the school.
Fan Fengshou was not very keen on dealing with his mother’s situation. Although he had verbally agreed to his wife to not discuss adoption, he knew that in nearly ten years, his wife hadn’t conceived a third child, so he had little hope for her to have another.
Rather be realistic and let his older brother match Xiao Xian with a good family for himself. As for divorcing his wife and remarrying someone else, as soon as he thought of his brother-in-law, Fan Fengshou immediately dismissed the idea.
However, what flashed through his mind was the image of Qiu Yan Yan, the young widow, standing in front of the gynecology clinic.
That fleeting image, after he heard clearly what his wife yelled at him, made Fan Fengshou stand up in shock—
At this moment, any warning from Fan Hongshan was forgotten as he grabbed his coat and rushed out of the office.
Baozhen was hit?
The thought of his only daughter being beaten made Fan Fengshou forget everything else. As soon as he left the office, he hailed a tricycle, heading straight to his daughter’s school.
The couple met at the school gate. Li Xiaoxia just snorted when she saw her husband and rushed through the gates.
Fan Fengshou was baffled—what was wrong with his wife this time? Slow to react, he was unaware of the various criticisms and tortures she harbored in her heart against him.
However, his actions were not as swift as his mother’s.
When Li Xiaoxia saw her daughter, she was on the verge of insanity! Her daughter’s teacher had spoken with such normalcy when saying Baozhen’s injury was a bit more serious.
But after all, the teacher is not a mother.
When Li Xiaoxia, the mother, saw her daughter—who had always been as precious as jade—now lying on the hospital bed with her little face swollen and receiving an IV drip, the image nearly broke her!
"Baozhen!" In a few steps, she reached the bedside, only to see that underneath the swelling, her daughter’s face was actually flushed red!
"Mrs. Fan, don’t be anxious. Fan Baozhen only has some cuts on her face. It looks bad, but the injuries are not severe, and the other party was only a little girl, without much strength. Fan Baozhen..."
"Shut your damn mouth; it’s not your daughter, so you can say it so lightly! She’s hurt like this, and you still have the nerve to say it’s nothing serious?! I sent my daughter to school, how do you discipline the children at your school? When the children fight, you don’t intervene? Several against one of my daughter? Your school is still in the right?!"
Li Xiaoxia lashed out at the teacher, while Fan Fengshou stepped past his wife and cautiously placed his hand on his daughter’s head, because he noticed that her complexion was off.
If it was just a cut, she wouldn’t need an IV.
Upon touching her, indeed, his daughter was truly having a fever!
"Xiaoxia, Baozhen has a fever!" Fan Fengshou called out urgently, not even glancing at the teacher whose face was turning the color of a liver.
Seeing this, the kind-hearted nurse and teacher spoke up to advise the parents:
"Both parents, our school has been trying to contact you for half the day; we started the treatment because we couldn’t reach you. Fan Baozhen has just caught a cold, her body temperature has been only 37.8 degrees, not very high.
I examined Fan Baozhen earlier, it seems her body was just recovering from an illness, right? So her body couldn’t take it anymore, and that’s why she’s sleeping now after getting the IV drip—"
