Chapter 808: Chapter 796:
After guarding until the early morning, Susu’s surgery was finally over.
Lu Jinxuan received the news and rushed over from Guan Chao overnight.
At the entrance of the operating room, Gong Xueyan had become much more haggard overnight.
Lu Jinxuan approached with a sigh, "Xueyan."
"..." Gong Xueyan looked up at him, the man before her was as handsome and distinguished as before.
She always seemed to have a chance to be near him, yet truly? It was a vast distance between them, never once had she possessed him.
Ou Guanshen came over, "Mr. President, Miss Susu has been transferred to a ward... the doctor said she’s not out of danger yet and needs observation, the follow-up is not yet determined one way or another."
"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, addressing Gong Xueyan, "You’ve stayed up all night. Go rest in the ward a bit! Don’t worry about Susu, she will be well taken care of."
Gong Xueyan nodded and stood up.
Licking her lips, "Mr. President, can I ask... Qin Mengshu, what do you plan to do with her?"
Lu Jinxuan frowned, "Don’t worry about this, there is surveillance in Guan Chao, everything she did yesterday is clearly recorded in the footage! Even if she is the daughter of the Qin Family and my fiancée Helian Si’s betrothed, she must still face legal consequences!"
"..." Gong Xueyan was stunned, not expecting he would do this. "Really?"
"Yes." Lu Jinxuan assured her, "Rest assured, Susu is innocent, there’s absolutely no reason for her to endure harm!"
"Mm!" Gong Xueyan covered her mouth, tears welling up.
With a thud, she knelt again in front of Lu Jinxuan, bowing repeatedly.
"Xueyan!" Lu Jinxuan hurriedly helped her up, "What are you doing? Get up!"
"Please let me bow!" Gong Xueyan felt extremely guilty, if it hadn’t been for her ignoring Susu yesterday, Susu wouldn’t have been pushed down the stairs by Qin Mengshu!
Originally, she thought that with the Qin Family’s status, Lu Jinxuan wouldn’t do anything to Qin Mengshu! But he said he would let the law decide impartially, how could she not be moved?
"Mr. President, for Susu... I’m bowing to you!"
With this bow, Gong Xueyan was already very clear in her heart that Susu wasn’t his child! Lu Jinxuan’s reaction lacked even the smallest semblance of a father’s heartbreak for a child... Even someone as deeply reserved as Lu Jinxuan couldn’t fake that.
But even if she wasn’t his daughter, he was still willing to seek justice! Gong Xueyan was truly grateful.
...
In the morning, Yu Sangwan came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Just three months along, her belly didn’t show yet.
Afterwards, she ran into Gong Xueyan under the surgical building.
She was completely disheveled, holding breakfast that someone had knocked over, scalding her hand without her noticing.
"Hey, what’s going on? Watch where you’re going!" The person who bumped into her started complaining first.
Yu Sangwan frowned and stepped forward, "Madam, clearly you bumped into her first! Aren’t you going to apologize?"
"Tch!" That person sneered, "What’s it to you? Meddling without a cause!"
"You..."
Yu Sangwan, not wanting to argue, went to check on Gong Xueyan... she was indeed a mess.
She took out a tissue to wipe Gong Xueyan’s hand, "Gong Xueyan, doesn’t it hurt?"
"Huh?" Gong Xueyan seemed to just regain her senses, staring in surprise at Yu Sangwan, "You?"
"Hey." Yu Sangwan sighed, shaking her head, "Your clothes are all dirty. Go up and change?"
Gong Xueyan stood still, staring intently at Yu Sangwan. Suddenly, her eyes reddened...
"Gong Xueyan?" Yu Sangwan was puzzled, "Are you burned? Want me to accompany you..."
"Why?" Gong Xueyan interrupted her, "Why do you care about me? To you, aren’t I the most detestable person? Don’t you hate me?"
Yu Sangwan was taken aback, shaking her head, "If I said I don’t hate you, would you believe me?"
Gong Xueyan bit her lip, silent... Who would believe that?
"I did." Yu Sangwan nodded, "I’m not a saint, I used to deeply hate you. At that time, we were both too young and fell for the same person... it’s inevitable things got intense. Now, we’re both mothers, are we still going to be like before?"
Mother... Gong Xueyan’s eyes reddened, choking up, "I’m not fit to be a mother!"
"Don’t say that."
Yu Sangwan threw the soiled tissue into the trash, "Being able to say that means you already want to be a good mother."
Gong Xueyan paused, suddenly laughed, "Yu Sangwan, you really... can lecture! What, are you trying to show off in front of me?"
"Not at all."
Yu Sangwan shook her head, "Because I have an unreliable mother... she abandoned me, harmed me repeatedly, yet I know she still loves and cares for me. To me, she is a good mother. It’s nothing more than that, no condescension intended."
This mother was once also Gong Xueyan’s mother!
Though she was a stepmother, the matter of Qin Mengshu pushing Susu down the stairs, due to the need for legal proceedings, caused a huge uproar in Holy City and even nationwide!
The Qin Family was utterly thrown into chaos!
Originally, the Qin and Helian Family’s marriage was a joyous affair, but unexpectedly, the daughter became involved in a criminal case! She might very well be sentenced!
At Guan Chao, in the administration building.
The flower hall.
"Mr. President, is visiting her also not allowed?" Qin Shaoju sat upright, which was rare.
Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, without a trace of a smile, "This matter is not up to me. Qin Mengshu has already been handed over to the Ministry of Justice. From what I know, under Qin Mengshu’s circumstances, visitation isn’t allowed right now. After the first trial concludes, you can request it again."
"So!"
Qin Shaoju stood up abruptly, "You are determined to have Meng Shu face trial!"
Lu Jinxuan frowned, "It’s not me... Your sister is an adult, she must take responsibility for her actions!"
"Fine! Very well! Mr. President, you understand the principle of overriding personal feelings for justice... just as I, Qin Shaoju, understand it!"
Qin Shaoju gritted his teeth, nodding reluctantly.
Lu Jinxuan looked at him, in a particularly good mood.
On the surface, Qin Mengshu was in trouble... his stance had already been made clear, but at times like these, the Qin Family’s stance was equally important!
Why had the Qin Family been covertly and overtly at odds with the Helian Family? It was all about contesting for the supreme power of Guan Chao.
To possess the right to govern Guan Chao, nationwide reverence is essential...
The situation with Qin Mengshu is clearly something that would anger the public... a noble woman harming a child.
If the Qin Family steps out to protect Qin Mengshu now, then... whatever Qin Shaoju wants to achieve next will be indeed difficult.
Lu Jinxuan stretched his arms, leisurely leaning on the sofa back. His narrow eyes squinting... he must remain vigilant, the Qin Family will surely take action, and nothing is conclusive yet.
Returning from Guan Chao in a state of defeat, Qin Shaoju was far from as nonchalant as he had claimed earlier!
In reality, for him, sacrificing a sister wasn’t much of a deal.
However, the fact he doesn’t care doesn’t mean the family doesn’t!
As soon as he got back, his family confronted him.
"Shaoju, you must save Meng Shu, she’s your only sister!"
"By any means, prevent Meng Shu from serving a sentence!"
Confronted with these words, Qin Shaoju was extremely irritated, "I know! It’s annoying!"
He was truly bothered, originally wanting his sister to go to Guan Chao to assist him! Who knew she would be of no help and instead caused such a huge problem!
