Hi, My Sweet Lil Moe Wife!-Chapter 5

Wrongful Accusation (2)

Outside the operating theatre at the City Central Hospital.

“Smack—”

Ruan Mengmeng was slapped right across the face, no holds barred.

“You useless brat, you’re nothing but trouble for our Ruan Family! What did my son do to deserve giving life to a curse like you?! I’ll kill you, I swear it, I’ll kill you!”

Countless punches and slaps crashed onto Ruan Mengmeng’s face, accompanied by Old Madam Ruan’s screams and wails.

Ruan Mengmeng’s head was still covered in bandages, and the freshly-dressed wound on the corner of her forehead split again as a result of Old Madam Ruan’s violence.

Her bright red blood seeped out from the clean white bandages.

Qin Fang had been sent to the hospital, where Old Madam Ruan and her youngest daughter Ruan Xueqin just happened to be caring for Old Master Ruan. That was why they arrived on the scene so quickly.

Ruan Xueqin and Ruan Jiaojiao stood to one side, watching as Old Madam Ruan scolded and hit Ruan Mengmeng. However, none of them tried to stop the old lady.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered around them, and some of them could not bear to watch. They wanted to help stop the fight.

At the end of the day, though, this was a grandmother lecturing her own granddaughter, so although they pitied the girl, there was not much they could say.

“Tell me, why aren’t you the one in the operating theater now? Why? You’ve always had thick skin, and you never get hurt by anything! Why aren’t you lying on the table in there? Why don’t you switch places with your aunt and my precious grandson?!”

The old lady was obsessed with getting a grandson, so she even stretched out a finger and harshly stabbed Ruan Mengmeng’s forehead wound with it.

Her finger jabbed the bandages, and the bright red stain expanded even further.

“Hss—” Ruan Mengmeng hissed in pain and took a step back.

Her pain receptors were a little duller than normal, but that did not mean she did not feel pain at all.

“You dodged?! Why did you dodge?! You hurt your aunt, so what right do you have to dodge? Your aunt is pregnant with our Ruan family’s precious grandson, so I’m warning you, if anything happens to my beloved grandson…”

Old Madam Ruan narrowed her eyes and glared at her fiercely. “I swear, I’ll never let you off easy, you useless girl!”

“Mom, here you are…” Just then, a middle-aged man’s mature voice penetrated the crowd.

Immediately after, the onlookers saw a well-dressed middle-aged man squeezing through the crowd and into the clearing.

A few others followed behind him.

The man was none other than Ruan Zhaotian, Ruan Mengmeng’s father.

He had gone to pick up Qin Fang’s mother earlier that morning, and he received the call when he was almost back in the city. As a result, he brought Qin Fang’s mother, older brother, and sister-in-law over here.

“I’ve been looking everywhere for all of you. Xueqin didn’t make it clear over the phone, so what on earth happened? Why are all of you gathered… Mengmeng, are you hurt?”

Ruan Zhaotian’s expression changed. His heart ached when he saw Ruan Mengmeng’s injury.

“Why are you bleeding so much…? C’mon, I’ll bring you to the doctor!”

Qin Fang’s mother lived in the neighboring city. Since Qin Fang was pregnant with his son, he spoiled her rotten.

That morning, he had personally driven out with Qin Fang’s older brother and sister-in-law to fetch her mother into the city, so his mother-in-law could stay with her daughter.

Earlier, when Old Madam Ruan asked her daughter to inform her son, she was afraid that Ruan Zhaotian would panic on the road if he heard the news. That was why they did not tell him the truth.

“Big Bro, why are you worried about this stupid brat? She was the one who pushed your wife down the stairs! She’s the reason Qin Fang is still in the operating theater now, and we’re not even sure if the baby will make it!”

“Dad, I didn’t…”

Ruan Mengmeng had stayed quiet until now, but she finally spoke when she saw Ruan Zhaotian.

That was because she knew her grandmother and aunt would not believe her, no matter what she said.

In this family, aside from her sister, only her father and grandfather would believe her.

Ruan Mengmeng looked at Ruan Zhaotian, her eyes turning slightly red. “Dad, I didn’t push her. She lost her balance and fell down on her own.”

“Ptooey! Do you take all of us for fools, Ruan Mengmeng? Qin Fang’s so careful around her baby, she won’t even walk without someone holding her hand, and even then she walks slowly. How could someone so cautious fall down on her own? Also, Jiaojiao was there at the time too. Are you saying Jiaojiao lied?!”

Everyone in the Ruan Family thought Jiaojiao was a textbook example of a well-behaved child.

She was not as smart as her oldest sister Ruan Shishi, but she had always been a well-mannered high achiever. The accolades she earned at school practically drowned out an entire wall.

Even the school she had entered, Wisdom Private Academy, was miles better than the City No. 1 High Ruan Mengmeng had bought her way into.

When he heard what his mother had to say, Ruan Zhaotian did not ask Ruan Mengmeng again. Instead, he turned to Ruan Jiaojiao.

“Jiaojiao, you never lie. Tell me, did Mengmeng push her?”

As soon as he said that, half of Ruan Mengmeng’s heart turned cold.
