?Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Stand Up   Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Stand Up                                   “She really had surgery?” the olddy asked the doctor.


    The doctor nced at the olddy, his expression full of surprise. Who in the hospital didn’t know about the olddy’s heroic deeds? How had she appeared in the ward again? Could it be that she intended to cause more trouble?


    “Olddy, your granddaughter was admitted to the hospital yesterday with intestinal perforation and peritonitis. The surgery was done less than a day ago. Please, calm down a bit. Have some pity on this child and her mother. Such a young girl undergoing such a surgery can lead tosting health issues if not cared for properly. If you are indeed her grandmother, you should just listen and go home.”


    The doctor really couldn’t stand this olddy.


    The olddy was left speechless, having imagined hundreds of scenarios where Chui Li and Xiaofen had conspired to deceive them and get her own son into trouble.


    She had never expected that her granddaughter was genuinely suffering. Although she appeared to be a shrew and was not kind-hearted, she did have some affection for Xiaofen, whom she had watched grow up. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have prevented Xiaofen from following Chui Li all these years.


    However, seeing the child just lying there after having been cut open was beyond what the olddy had anticipated.


    “Xiaofen…” The words stuck in the olddy’s throat. What could she say?


    Xiaofen, ignoring the olddy, clutched Chui Li’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid Chui Li would run away.


    Any pity the olddy might have felt disappeared at that sight. She couldn’t bear that her granddaughter, whom she had raised for so many years, was so close to her own mother. Hadn’t they raised her all these years in vain? That couldn’t be right; Xiaofen bore the surname Fan and was a member of their family, the biological daughter of their eldest son.


    Thinking of Fan Jiancheng reminded the olddy of her eldest son, whom she had pushed to the back of her mind, who was still confined in the police station.


    “Chui Li, hurry up and exin the situation to the police station and get my eldest son released. All he did was discipline the child a bit. Which parent hasn’t hit or scolded their child a few times? By your logic, every parent on the street should be locked up in the station,” the olddy’s goal, obviously, was to get her eldest son released.


    Xiaofen felt disheartened. She knew her grandmother had note to see her. The ferocious look on her face clearly showed she was there to trouble her mother. All these years, whenever her grandmother took her to find her mother, it always began with her grandmother exining that they were going to see her mother for money, or to cry, or to create a scene.


    How could this time be any different?


    From her grandmother’s words, it seemed her father had indeed gone to the police station.


    Looking up at her mother beside her, her warm hands firmly holding hers.


    “Olddy, you might as well go home. Even if youe to the station a few more times, I will say the same thing. This child has suffered so much; a simple excuse of mere discipline cannot exin it away. You probably don’t know how severe the situation was yesterday. If she hadn’t been brought to the hospital just in time, it was already dark, and if she had copsed in some corner, unnoticed, she could have died several times over in one night.


    I will go to court to gain custody of my child. You can save your exnations for the judge in the future, talking to me now is pointless,” Chui Li’s tone had hardened. Since her daughter’s incident, she had trulye to a realization.


    This wasn’t anyone else’s fault. Even if Bai Xiao hadn’t exposed this ordeal today, it was bound to be revealed someday. If one day she failed to satisfy Fan Jiancheng’s greedy desires, Xiaofen’s fate would have been the same.


    In fact, she felt somewhat grateful to Bai Xiao for uncovering these matters sooner, allowing the child to learn the truth earlier.


    Otherwise, the barrier between mother and daughter would never untangle, and as the child grew older, some things would probably be even harder to exin. Letting the child see the truth for herself might be more effective than a thousand, even ten thousand exnations from her.


    “What? You actually want to sue us in court? How can you be so heartless? We’ve raised this child since you divorced when she was eight. What right do you have to take her away? This child belongs to the Fan Family, and what right do you have to take her away? Let me tell you, if you think you can take her away, no way.” The olddy suddenly lunged forward, waving her hand to pull Xiaofen up from the bed.


    “Xiaofen,e home with grandma quickly. Don’t worry, once you’re home, your grandma will never hit you again. Your mom is not a good person; if you follow her, you will sufferter. Don’t be fooled by her.” Shepletely disregarded the fact that Xiaofen was not supposed to move after just having surgery.


    Chui Li panicked, and this time she rushed forward to block the olddy, who swung her hand trying to scratch her face. Chui Li forcefully pushed the olddy away. She could never engage in the drama of rolling on the ground, scratching faces, or wing at cors. Pushing the olddy away using her physical advantage was the most she could do.


    The olddy was clearly taken aback.


    She was not unaware of how timid her former daughter-inw was.


    Of course, calling it timidity might not be right. It wasn’t timidity; the former daughter-inw cared too much about face and liked to reason with people. She would certainly never resort to physical altercation.


    But today, she did strike first.


    “Oh, my Lord, this is driving someone to their death. Not only did she take my granddaughter, but she also wants to send my son to jail. This woman wants to destroy our whole family. Who will bring justice?” The olddy eximed while pping her thigh.


    Chui Li said coldly, “Olddy, if you want to cry, then keep crying. I will immediately call security. This is a hospital, not your family’s courtyard. Furthermore, your son is living in my house and has now sent my daughter to the hospital for surgery. I am telling you, I do want to see him in jail. You probably don’t know, but I am a military officer, and my daughter is a military family member. Since he dared to abuse a military family member, I will make sure he is severely punished.


    And let me tell you bluntly. I have already hired awyer today. I am going to sue, take back the house, and take back my child. I will raise my own daughter, and nobody else willy a finger on her. If you can, keep crying, keep shouting. Let’s see if your son cane out now.”


    Turning to Bai Xiao, she said, “Doctor Bai, could you please call security for me?”


    Bai Xiao nodded, realizing she was just a supporting actor in this scene.


    “Sure, I’ll call security right now for you.”


    But Dr. Chui being able to stand up for herself and her daughter was already enough.


    Soon, the security arrived, and the olddy dared not cry or make a scene anymore. She was straightforwardly escorted out of the hospital.


    It was made very clear to her that if she caused a disturbance at the hospital entrance, they would immediately call the police and have the station take her in for disrupting the hospital’s peace.


    The olddy dared not cause further trouble.


    She could only return home dejectedly.
