Outside the operating theatre at the City Central Hospital.

“Smack—”

Ruan Mengmeng was slapped right across the face, no holds barred.

“You useless brat, you’re nothing but trouble for our Ruan Family! What did my son do to deserve giving life to a curse like you?! I’ll kill you, I swear it, I’ll kill you!”

Countless punches and slaps crashed onto Ruan Mengmeng’s face, accompanied by Old Madam Ruan’s screams and wails.

Ruan Mengmeng’s head was still covered in bandages, and the freshly-dressed wound on the corner of her forehead split again as a result of Old Madam Ruan’s violence.

Her bright red blood seeped out from the clean white bandages.

Qin Fang had been sent to the hospital, where Old Madam Ruan and her youngest daughter Ruan Xueqin just happened to be caring for Old Master Ruan. That was why they arrived on the scene so quickly.

Ruan Xueqin and Ruan Jiaojiao stood to one side, watching as Old Madam Ruan scolded and hit Ruan Mengmeng. However, none of them tried to stop the old lady.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered around them, and some of them could not bear to watch. They wanted to help stop the fight.

At the end of the day, though, this was a grandmother lecturing her own granddaughter, so although they pitied the girl, there was not much they could say.

“Tell me, why aren’t you the one in the operating theater now? Why? You’ve always had thick skin, and you never get hurt by anything! Why aren’t you lying on the table in there? Why don’t you switch places with your aunt and my precious grandson?!”

The old lady was obsessed with getting a grandson, so she even stretched out a finger and harshly stabbed Ruan Mengmeng’s forehead wound with it.

Her finger jabbed the bandages, and the bright red stain expanded even further.

“Hss—” Ruan Mengmeng hissed in pain and took a step back.

Her pain receptors were a little duller than normal, but that did not mean she did not feel pain at all.

“You dodged?! Why did you dodge?! You hurt your aunt, so what right do you have to dodge? Your aunt is pregnant with our Ruan family’s precious grandson, so I’m warning you, if anything happens to my beloved grandson…”

Old Madam Ruan narrowed her eyes and glared at her fiercely. “I swear, I’ll never let you off easy, you useless girl!”

“Mom, here you are…” Just then, a middle-aged man’s mature voice penetrated the crowd.

Immediately after, the onlookers saw a well-dressed middle-aged man squeezing through the crowd and into the clearing.

A few others followed behind him.
