After arriving at the hospital, Xia Zhe went to park the car while Qiao Mei brought Molly straight to the VIP ward to look for Li Gui. Xia Fang’s hospital was closest to Li Gui’s restaurant, so the emergency medical team was from Xia Fang’s hospital.

When Qiao Mei made a donation to the hospital in the past, she had given them the names and information of everyone in the Xia family, as well as her own relatives. As long as the patient was a person registered in the system, they would be sent to the VIP ward for treatment when admitted to the hospital.

“Wow, look at how grand this ward is! It’s a single room! And it’s so big! It’s obvious that my fourth daughter has a lot of money!” Old Madam Li said enviously.

“That’s right! I’ve never seen a hospital that looks like this in the county city. It’s so luxurious! We must find a way to stay in the capital!” Li Tao said.

Li Juan said hesitantly, “We are the ones who beat up Fourth Sister and caused her to be sent to hospital. Do you think she will still take us in? Even if she’s willing, will Qiao Mei agree?”

“It was Zhang Qian who beat her! It has nothing to do with us! Besides, I’m her mother! How can she say she doesn’t want me! I don’t care! If she wants to chase us back to the county city, I won’t agree to it!” Old Madam Li said shrewishly.

“Mom is right! We’re her biological brothers! She definitely won’t force us to leave the capital. Qiao Mei is just a junior! She can’t interfere in the matters related to the elders!” Li Tao said self-righteously.

Qiao Mei stood at the other end of the corridor and could hear what the Li family members said clearly. Initially, she had thought that the Li family members should have made some progress after so many years. At the very least, they should have grown a conscience and know their limits. It seemed that she had overestimated them.

Qiao Mei took a deep breath and walked straight towards Li Gui’s ward. When the Li family members saw Qiao Mei, they fell silent. Old Madam Li tried to go forward and talk to Qiao Mei, but Qiao Mei entered the ward without even looking at her.

“Hey! Is she blind! Can’t she see that our mother is standing here! We’re still her elders after all. How can a junior treat us like this!” Li Tao pointed at Qiao Mei and complained.

“Well, she’s doing so well now. She’s a rich man’s wife. If she’s in a bad mood, she can even chase us out of the capital! Stop talking,” Li Juan said.

“Hmph, what’s so great about being rich!” Li Tao muttered softly.

“Stop talking, all of you!” Old Madam Li said in annoyance.

Qiao Mei could hear the Li family badmouthing her outside and she noted down everything they said. She would settle the scores with them slowly after confirming that Li Gui was safe and sound. None of them would be able to get away with it.

“Aunt, how’s my mother? Is she seriously injured?” Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

“Your mother seems to have suffered a blow to her head and she has a mild concussion. There are some bruises on her body that will fade after a while. Your mother is not young anymore. Although she has eaten a lot of ginseng to nourish her body during this period of time, she’s still advanced in age and her bones are relatively brittle. Such a thing must not happen again,” Xia Fang reminded her.

“Alright, I’ll take note of that. Is she awake now?” Qiao Mei asked.

“She’s awake, but she can’t talk for too long. The most important thing for her now is to rest well and not get too tired,” Xia Fang whispered.

“Alright, I’ll remember that. Thank you, Aunt.” With that, Qiao Mei entered the ward.

Li Gui sat on the hospital bed and looked at Qiao Mei. She said in a gentle tone, “I’m fine. I’ve made you worry.”

“What exactly is going on? Who’s the one who hit you?” Qiao Mei said with a frown.

“It was Zhang Qian who quarreled with my mother. I saw that he was about to hit her, so I stopped him. I didn’t expect things to end up like this,” Li Gui said helplessly.

Of course, things were not as simple as Li Gui said. Zhang Qian had taken advantage of the fact that Qiao Mei and her bodyguards were not around and rushed to Li Gui’s restaurant, insisting that he wanted to remarry her.

At the same moment, Old Madam Li also arrived at the restaurant and the two sides started arguing. Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong wanted to beat Old Madam Li up, but Old Madam Li’s children all hid far away, afraid that the Zhang family members would hit them as well. Li Gui could not stand seeing that and went forward to stop them.

At the end of the day, Old Madam Li was still her biological mother. Blood ties could not be severed. No matter how many mistakes Old Madam Li had made in the past, she had worked hard to bring up Li Gui.

“Next time, just let them fight. Don’t bother about them. Now, they’re the ones who are fine and you’re the one who’s hospitalized!” Qiao Mei said.
