Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: Extra Story of the Eel 76
Su Man’s mood felt as though she had fallen into the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon.
She thought she was just too unlucky!
Too! Unlucky! Really!
She stepped in to help when she saw injustice, not expecting a banner of appreciation but instead facing interrogation and punishnt! She had clearly held back her strength!
She hadn’t even hit him! She hadn’t! She hadn’t!!!—And yet, he just collapsed on his own!
Now her only hope was that the security caras had caught it all.
But… there were a few trees nearby. If those trees happened to block the view, then she… then she’d really be out of luck.
Su Man’s frustration and regret doubled when Su Mom and Li Li along with his family arrived!
As soon as Su Mom saw her, she rushed over, simultaneously angry and distressed, scolding, “How many tis have I told you, don’t act on impulse, don’t act on impulse! You were getting into fights even back in school, and now you’re doing it again after graduation? If I had known you’d turn out like this, no matter what, I wouldn’t have let you learn that martial arts nonsense! What’s the use for a girl to learn that stuff? What’s the use?! Just to make so mad? Your dad arranged for you to work as a traffic cop, handing out tickets every day—wouldn’t that have been fine? But no, you had to stir up trouble! If sothing serious happens to the other party, what are you going to do?! Just tell , what are you going to do?!…”
Su Man kept her head down and stayed silent.
Her heart ached deeply.
This matter could be either trivial or serious. If soone deliberately made a big deal of it, it could turn into a case of a spoiled second-generation official violently attacking people on the street. Not only could she face disciplinary action, but even her father might get questioned.
In ancient tis, it would have been akin to disgracing the family na.
Li Li’s mother pulled Su Mom aside to comfort her, “Let’s talk calmly, calmly, don’t get too worked up…”
Su Mom said bitterly, “How can I not get worked up? She’s all grown up now, and she still acts so recklessly!”
Li Li’s dad stepped forward and asked Su Man, “What’s the situation now? What did the doctor say?”
Su Man answered quietly, “The doctor said they’re not sure why he’s unconscious for now. He needs further tests. They’re calling in a neurology specialist now.”
Li Li’s dad glanced at a young woman not far away who was crying softly and then said to Su Man, “Don’t worry for now. Let’s wait for the test results and then figure out what to do. For now, let’s not tell your dad about this. He’s still in the hospital. Let’s not make him worry.”
“Mm, thank you, Uncle.” Su Man nodded slightly, looking utterly dejected.
The injuries were uncertain, and so were the consequences. The Li Family couple didn’t want to add more pressure on Su Man, so they stayed near Su Mom, continuing to offer comfort and support.
Only Li Li ca up to Su Man, his tone slightly mocking, as he said in a low voice, “Caught off guard this ti, huh? I told you before you were reckless, but you didn’t believe . Did you even think about the consequences before you acted?”
Su Man still kept her head down, saying nothing.
This was unusual—Su Man had a fiery temper. If it were before, she would have imdiately talked back and argued. Now that she was silent, it seed like she was truly upset.
Seeing her like this, Li Li’s attitude softened a bit, and his words were less biting than usual.
“Alright, don’t be like a quail. Relax, no matter what happens, your parents will take care of it for you.” Li Li said in a breezy tone, “Besides, my parents are here too. They’ve watched you grow up and won’t just stand by doing nothing.”
Finally, Su Man showed a hint of a reaction.
Her lips pressed together ever so slightly, the furrow in her brow monts ago loosening a bit, only to tighten again.
Li Li asked her, “Seriously? Such a small thing scared you that much?”
Su Man really didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Her mood was already bad enough as it was.
“Manman!…”
From the far end of the hallway, a man ca running over, wearing a professional shirt and tailored pants, looking hurried—it was Lu Yuwen.
As soon as Su Man saw him, her eyes reddened.
