"What?!" When Wang Yuan sneaked into the hospital with a pot of chicken soup, she was told that her son had already been discharged. She couldn’t believe it.
How could that be?!
Why didn’t she receive any news about her son’s discharge? Moreover, her son’s injuries were so severe that he couldn’t even walk; how could he be discharged?
"Are you kidding ? My son is so seriously injured; how could he possibly be discharged?"
The hospital staff was also quite troubled: "Lady Mu, we tried to stop it, but your daughter was very determined, and we couldn’t do anything, so..."
"What do you an my daughter was very determined? It’s my son who’s injured; shouldn’t we, as parents, be the ones making decisions?" Wang Yuan, already in a foul mood from issues at ho, vented her anger on the hospital staff.
Poor doctor, getting scolded and feeling particularly wronged.
He disliked dealing with people from such wealthy families, who were not only willful but also made things particularly difficult!
With a frown, he endured the scolding. Seeing the situation, other doctors and nurses reported it to their superiors.
Soon, Mu Mingsi received a call from the hospital, saying his wife was causing a scene over their son’s discharge.
"Mr. Mu, how would you like to handle this situation?" The voice on the phone from the director sounded quite troubled.
"Wasn’t there another young elder present when it was decided to discharge my son?" Mu Mingsi guessed. His daughter didn’t have such courage, and for Mu Rong to be discharged despite such severe injuries, it was most likely that "Great-aunt" who made the decision.
"An elder? I’m not sure; let ask..." The director quickly inquired from the people around him.
The people nearby were a bit puzzled: "I’m not sure, but I seem to have heard Mu Miss calling a very young lady ’Great-aunt’..." They were quite surprised at the ti; who was young yet held such a high status?
But thinking about those old large families, indeed they had situations where peers were of higher seniority. However, in this era, blood relations had beco distant, and these things were not as significant.
To be addressed like this and to have the young Miss of the Mu family show such respect clearly demonstrated how "big" the Mu family was!
"A very young ’Great-aunt’."
"Hmm, I understand the situation. I will send soone to pick up my wife later. I apologize for the inconvenience, Director. My wife has been a bit distressed lately over our son, and it’s been troubling you..."
...
Wang Yuan was forcibly brought back by soone sent by Mu Mingsi. As soon as she returned, she caused a big scene with him.
"The child is missing, and you don’t care?! Is he really your son?"
"Mu Mingsi, are you insane? Who is he? He’s just a rookie, and you’re entrusting our son to a stranger? What if sothing happens to your son?"
"Your son is so severely injured; where on earth is he going if not staying in the hospital?"
"I don’t care, I want my son back, I want my son!"
...
Mu Mingsi had a headache.
At this mont, he was very grateful that the old man was out visiting neighbors. Otherwise, seeing her make a scene, the old man wouldn’t have given her any sympathy. The old man didn’t like his wife, thinking she was short-sighted and good for nothing except bearing children.
"Can you stop causing a scene?"
"I can, as long as you bring my son back. If you don’t, then life’s over..." Don’t be fooled by Wang Yuan’s usually gentle deanor and her obedience to Mu Mingsi. When it ca to her children, she was very stubborn.
You could say, in certain aspects, she was quite a good mother.
"I’ve already said, Ah Rong is fine. If you don’t believe , I’ll call Mu Bai..."
"What’s the point of calling Mu Bai? She can’t make the decisions."
"So should I call or not?" Mu Mingsi asked with the phone in hand.
"Call, definitely call. Didn’t you just say it was her and that woman who took my son? I need to know how my son is doing, right?" Wang Yuan believed that her poor son must have suffered after all this hassle.
"Once the call is connected, say less, and don’t upset Great-aunt." Mu Mingsi reminded her, "No matter what, your son is in their hands now. Upsetting her won’t do your son any good..."
"Am I that foolish?"
"You’re not foolish." If she were, she wouldn’t have been smart enough to marry him, which was probably the most correct decision she made in her life, Mu Mingsi thought with so vanity.
Soon, the call was connected. As soon as Mu Bai spoke, Wang Yuan quickly asked, "Mu Bai, is your brother with you? How is he?"
"Mom, he’s not with ."
"How could he not be with you? Didn’t you and that... Great-aunt, yes, Great-aunt take him from the hospital? Really, your brother is so severely injured, and you didn’t even try to stop it. What if sothing happens to him?" Wang Yuan, in her rush, forgot her husband’s instructions and started rambling.
Mu Bai felt a headache coming on: "Mom, wait a minute... let Dad talk to instead." In this world, perhaps the hardest person to deal with was her mom. Besides Great-aunt and Grandpa, her mom was who she feared the most.
"What did I tell you? I’m your mom, why, you’re getting impatient talking to ? I’m telling you..."
Mu Bai felt like kneeling to her mom. She just said one sentence, but her mom had so many responses?
"Alright, alright, what you’re saying is nonsense. Let speak with Mu Bai." Mu Mingsi couldn’t watch any longer and took the phone.
Wang Yuan felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. Ever since she was a child, her daughter had been closer to her husband. Was this what people said about daughters being their father’s lovers from a past life?
"Mu Bai, where’s your brother now?" Mu Mingsi didn’t waste any ti, "He’s alright, isn’t he?"
"Dad, don’t worry, Great-aunt’s dical skills are incredible, far better than those of the hospitals. Ah Rong is in her hands and there’s absolutely no issue. Let tell you, do you know the Zhan Family, the wealthiest family in the nation? Great-aunt cured Zhan Family’s young master Zhan Jingshu’s strange illness..." To boost her parents’ confidence, Mu Bai even ntioned Zhan Jingshu’s case.
Even though the main activities of the Zhan Family were not in the Capital City, they generally didn’t like to visit unless necessary, but the influence of the Zhan Family was undoubtedly strong. Not to ntion the relations with the Yan family, one of the "Four Great Families" of the Capital City, even their own financial power was enough to shake the main institutions of a country with just one stamp of a foot.
Thus, people usually referred to them as the "Capital City Zhan Family."
Living within this circle, how could Mu Mingsi possibly not know about the Zhan Family? He was a bit surprised, "You an that Zhan Family?"
