Chapter 66 Saving the Exploited Sister in a Modern Drama
Qin Fang and Zhao Lanxin received a call and rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night. They guarded Zuo Zheng, who was unconscious.
After hearing what the doctor said about Zuo Zheng’s injury, Qin Fang’s eyes went dark. He’d broken two ribs and had a comminuted fracture on his left leg.
Zhao Lanxin also burst into tears. How could this have happened?!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stayed up all night, guarding the unconscious Zuo Zheng.
Li Huairou put on beautiful makeup, taking a bouquet of flowers and some breakfast with her. Accompanied by Qin Chuan and Sun Xiaomeng, she went to the hospital.
“Auntie!” Li Huairou exclaimed exaggeratedly as soon as she entered the door. “Auntie, I heard that Zuo Zheng had a car accident, so I came to see him. You haven’t had breakfast, right? I brought you some. I know you’re worried, but your health is important, so you should eat a little bit. Is this the nurse you hired? Auntie, I mean, you have to hire a male nurse—a woman is inconvenient! She has too little strength.”
Qin Fang was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Lanxin’s expression was ugly. A caregiver? Did she look like a caregiver? Then she accidentally saw her reflection through the mirror exposed through the half-open door of the bathroom. Her hair was disheveled, she was wearing baggy pajamas, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
She glanced at Li Huairou, who was young and beautiful with her delicate makeup and decent clothes.
“Huairou, thank you. I know, I’ll hire a male nurse later. But how did you know about Zuo Zheng’s car accident?” Qin Fang was a little skeptical.
“You didn’t know?” Li Huairou took out her cellphone and handed it to Qin Fang. Qin Fang looked, only to see a huge photo on it. “A man was in a car accident while drunk driving in the middle of the night. His Maserati crashed, and the man was rushed to the hospital. Zuo Zheng had used this car to pick me up before, and I knew it was his car at a glance. I asked an acquaintance and found out that he’d been sent to this hospital, so I came to see him. How is he? Is he alright?”
Qin Fang was so embarrassed, and she forced a smile. “It’s nothing major, it’s just a broken bone.”
“Hey, his safety awareness is so bad. If you drive, you can’t drink, and if you drink, you can’t drive. How could he forget this? That’s right, I remember that Zuo Zheng had American citizenship, right? Does he have a Chinese driver’s license? Then does this mean he was driving without a license?” Li Huairou asked innocently, blinking her eyes.
Qin Fang’s eyes turned dark again.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Qin Fang perked up and turned to look—it turned out to be the traffic police.
Seeing this, Li Huairou said, “Auntie, you’re busy, so I’ll go to work first. I’ll contact my parents later and then tell them!”
Before leaving, she glanced at Zhao Lanxin. “Look at you, taking other people’s money. You have to work hard—don’t you see his chapped lips? Even if he can’t drink water, at least moisturize his lips with a cotton swab! I’ve never seen such a stupid nurse.”
Zhao Lanxin was trembling with anger, on the verge of having a seizure. Qin Fang glared at her. Zhao Lanxin had no choice but to go to buy cotton swabs.
But she’d come out in a hurry, so she hadn’t brought her wallet, and her phone was out of power. She had to come back.
Qin Fang had just finished dealing with the traffic police, looking at her son distressingly, and saw that Zhao Lanxin had come back empty-handed. “What happened.”
“I didn’t bring my wallet, and my phone is out of power,” Zhao Lanxin said in a small voice.
Qin Fang took a deep breath. “Forget it, just go find a nurse!” Before the Zhao family had gone down, Zhao Lanxin had also been the eldest lady; her ten fingers didn’t touch spring water.
[A metaphor for a person who has a good family and does not need to do laundry or housework by themselves. Usually, it refers to people who are pampered, and it mostly refers to women from wealthy families]
Although she’d gone down, she’d married into the Zuo family. Soon, Junjun was born. Junjun had grown so big that she hadn’t even changed a diaper.
Zhao Lanxin stood blankly in the corridor of the hospital. How can I find the nurse?
In the end, it was a nurse who helped her, and they hired two nurses.
When things had been taken care of, Qin Fang could finally calm down and think carefully about the cause and effect of this incident. This incident was too coincidental; Zuo Zheng did not have a confused temper, so how could he drink so much alcohol last night and insist on driving after drinking? And then there was a car accident? Then why had Li Huairou come so soon? Although, her explanation was reasonable. But it was all too coincidental.
It was such a coincidence that Qin Fang felt that this was not a coincidence!
Zhao Lanxin bought lunch and came back. “Mom, have you eaten a little?”
“You and Zuo Zheng have done something behind my back, haven’t you?” Qin Fang said “haven’t you”, not “did you”, which showed that she was sure that Zuo Zheng and Zhao Lanxin must have done something stupid without her knowing.
Zhao Lanxin was afraid of Qin Fang, and when Qin Fang asked, she immediately explained the matter, step by step. “I really just said it casually… I thought that, since it was already like this, it was nothing to continue…”
Qin Fang couldn’t bear it any longer. She slapped Zhao Lanxin.
Zhao Lanxin was bewildered. She covered her face and dazedly stared at Qin Fang. “Mom.”
“Don’t call me ‘mom’! I don’t have such a stupid daughter-in-law as you! Where do you think this is? Who do you think you are?” Qin Fang’s chest heaved violently; she was so angry.
Zhao Lanxin also reacted at this time. “Mom, what do you mean that Zuo Zheng’s car accident was planned by someone? How dare they?”
“Why don’t they dare? If you can use such a nasty method, the fact that the other person didn’t take Zuo Zheng’s life is already worthy of you!” Qin Fang felt a severe headache, and her blood pressure rose rapidly. She covered her head and wanted to reach for the medicine.
But in the end, she didn’t get the medicine. Her mind was suddenly stunned, she felt numbness in half of her body, and she couldn’t move.
Then her whole body fell to one side.
Zhao Lanxin was terrified. Zuo Zheng was paralyzed on the bed and her mother-in-law had fainted—what should she do?!
Fortunately, the doctors and nurses rushed over and sent Qin Fang to the emergency room.
Zhao Lanxin followed.
So when Zuo Zheng woke up, there were only unfamiliar nurses by his side, and neither his mother nor his wife could be seen.
“Sir, are you awake? You must not move!” the nurse quickly said when Zuo Zheng awoke.
In fact, Zuo Zheng couldn’t move even if he wanted to. The pain made him unable to speak.
The nurse seemed to understand what he was thinking. “You want to ask about your mother and sister, right? Your mother seems to have fainted and was taken to the emergency room, and your sister went too.”
Fainted? First aid? What happened? Zuo Zheng was anxious.
At this moment, Zhao Lanxin came in, in a state of despair. Seeing that Zuo Zheng was awake, she immediately jumped on him, just barely pressing on Zuo Zheng’s wound. Zuo Zheng’s eyes widened in pain, and he fainted.
The nurse didn’t have time to stop it and watched this tragedy happen. Doctors and nurses rushed in again and pushed Zuo Zheng to the emergency room.
Originally, Zuo Zheng’s rib had been broken and hadn’t hurt his organs. He’d put on a chest strap and rested for a while, but now that Zhao Lanxin had pressed on him, the broken rib was displaced and had pierced into the lungs. They feared that it might cause other complications. He needed to have surgery.
Zhao Lanxin listlessly stood at the door of the emergency room, not knowing what to do now.
At this time, the door of the emergency room opened. “The patient’s family members? Who are Qin Fang’s family members?”
Zhao Lanxin responded, “I am!”
“The patient suffered from cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, and there was a large amount of bleeding. Although the rescue was timely, in this situation, the patient will usually have complications.” The doctor was introducing Qin Fang’s situation.
Zhao Lanxin swallowed nervously and interrupted the doctor’s words. “Doctor, may I ask, what kind of complications?”
The doctor saw Zhao Lanxin’s thoughts at a glance and immediately said, “Hemiplegia, limb incoordination, crooked speech, unclear speech, etc. are all possible. But it’s not absolute. If the post-care is good…”
“Will she need nursing care later on?” Zhao Lanxin asked.
The doctor frowned. “Of course! In fact, patients with cerebral hemorrhage…”
Zhao Lanxin couldn’t listen anymore. She was a little confused.
She turned around and wanted to leave.
“Hey, do you care about the patient?” The doctor hurriedly stopped her.
When Qin Fang had been sent to the ward, Zhao Lanxin’s mind was in a mess. Anyway, she remembered to hire a nurse for Qin Fang, then went out to call her family.
Since that day, Zhao Lanxin had rarely appeared at the hospital.
A month later, it was time to pay the nurses, and the nurses talked about it with Qin Fang in a crooked manner. Qin Fang struggled to pick up the phone and wanted to call Zhao Lanxin, but she found that the call couldn’t get through, and Zhao Lanxin had blocked Qin Fang on WeChat.
Qin Fang’s eyes turned dark. She immediately checked her account and found that all the money in her account had been transferred out. Not to mention Zuo Zheng’s side—it must be the same.
Qin Fang tried her best to control her emotions. After she calmed down, she called her assistant. After asking, she found out that Zhao Lanxin had dismissed all the staff here and returned to the United States with the money in the company’s account.
Qin Fang trembled, picked up her cellphone, and called the people in the United States. She learned that Zhao Lanxin had taken her and Zuo Zheng’s seals and sold their shares in America and several properties. The family didn’t know where she had moved to.
This series of operations could not have been done in just one or two days.
This showed that Zhao Lanxin had already started to act after their accident.
Qin Fang fainted again.
When Mama Li learned what happened to Qin Fang, she sighed. “Do you think the money can be recovered?”
Papa Li shook his head. “I don’t think so. It was said that some of the property was divided from Zuo Zheng’s divorce and transferred to that woman’s custody. It’s her freedom to resell it.” In fact, Papa Li felt that Qin Fang and her son’s situation was completely self-inflicted.
Although their company was in crisis, the property left by the family would have been enough for their family to live and breathe. But a person whose heart was not content—like a snake that tried to swallow an elephant—had dared to think about his daughter! They got what they deserved!
“Do you think we want to?” Mama Li was a soft-hearted person. Seeing what Qin Fang and her son were experiencing now, she wanted to help.
“Mom, have you forgotten what they wanted to do to my sister and me?” Li Huairou said with wide eyes. “You almost wouldn’t have seen me anymore! If they’d really succeeded, I wouldn’t have survived. I definitely would have died.”
What a joke. Pity them? If you’ve got too much money on your hands and nowhere to spend it, just buy me a bag.
Papa Li’s expression suddenly became serious. “Huairou is right! Shulan, you can have sympathy, but you have to distinguish good and bad people! Don’t forget their disgusting tricks!”
