The security officer was about to nod when he immediately shook his head and said, "No! Chief Xia instructed me not to let you leave her office. Letting you come out to use the toilet is already pushing it to the limit. I can't make any other exception for you!"
Qiao Mei blinked and suddenly held onto her stomach, pretending to be in pain as she said, "Ow~ Ow~ My stomach~"
"What's wrong with you! I'll go get the doctor! Wait for me! I'll be back soon! Hang in there!" The security officer was so frightened that he could not remember which way to go and stumbled as he set off to look for a doctor.
Qiao Mei hurriedly stopped the security officer and said, "No need… Can you go and get the wheelchair? I just want to go and see my mother. Please…"
The security officer followed Qiao Mei's instructions and hurriedly returned to Xia Fang's office to push out the wheelchair. At this moment, he could not care less about "Chief Xia's instructions". The most important thing was to protect Qiao Mei!
After Qiao Mei sat on the wheelchair, she immediately looked relaxed. She pointed ahead and said, "I want to go to the orthopedic department. Do you know where it is?"
The security officer did not listen to Qiao Mei. He turned around and pushed Qiao Mei towards Xia Fang's office. Qiao Mei immediately started groaning again and held her stomach as she moaned in pain. It seemed so real and it did not look like she was pretending.
"Ah! My stomach! My stomach hurts! I want to see my mother! I want to look for my elder sister!" Qiao Mei yelled out as she stole looks at the security officer's expression.
The security officer really could not tell if Qiao Mei was pretending to be unwell or not, so he could only agree to send her to the orthopedic department. He decided to explain everything clearly to Xia Fang when she returned.
Xu Lan brought Xia He to the ward where Bian Ding had directed her. It was rare that the Bian family was willing to spend money to let Yang Xin stay in a single ward!
"Wait for me outside the door. Come in only when I call for you. Do you understand?" Xu Lan said to Xia He.
Xia He shook her head and quickly held Xu Lan back. "No, Mother. I'll go with you. I can't let you deal with Yang Xin's family alone!"
Yang Xin was a promiscuous woman, but Bian Zhuo did not care at all. In any case, he had many women outside as well. As long as the two of them remained on good terms and there was no news of any illegitimate children, everything looked good on the outside.
Bian Ding was not a good person either. No one knew how he got his position as the art troupe leader!
The entire family found themselves powerful protectors and then bullied others based on that. The Bian family had previously worked for the He family and even swore to He Ning that they would always be loyal to the He family. In the end, the moment He Ning got into trouble, they immediately distanced themselves from the He family.
The He family had so many supporters who pledged loyalty to them that He Ning could not remember all of them and it seemed that he might have forgotten about this ungrateful family. However, if someone reminded him of them… perhaps He Ning would finally be able to remember? It was hard to say.
"Don't go in and add fuel to the fire. Listen to me and wait for me here," Xu Lan said.
She was not afraid that Xia He would be at a disadvantage after going in, but she was more afraid that Xia He would beat Yang Xin further and cripple her in a fit of anger. She knew her daughter better than anyone else. This was a girl who could not swallow any grievances. If anyone bullied Xia He or a member of the Xia family, Xia He would send that person directly to the ICU! That person could very well be paralyzed in bed for good.
Xia He could not dissuade Xu Lan, so she could only sit gloomily on the hard bench in the long corridor and watched Xu Lan enter Yang Xin's ward.
"Oh my! Who is this! What a rare guest! I never expect you to really come here," Bian Ding said mockingly.
"Since you asked me to come, then I have to come and take a look no matter what. After all, she's also from our art troupe. How can I not come to pay a visit?" Xu Lan sized up Yang Xin. Her complexion was rosy and she certainly did not look like she had a fracture. It looked more like she was here for a holiday stay in the hospital.
Bian Zhuo looked at Xu Lan's empty hands and asked unhappily, "You come to visit a patient without bringing anything? Do you even look like you're here to visit a patient?"
"You don't even bother to greet an elder. Is this part of your Bian family's upbringing?" Xu Lan gave Bian Zhuo a side eye look.
Bian Zhuo stood up indignantly and wanted to say something more, but Bian Ding stopped him and pushed him to the side. The main issue at hand was more important.
