“Sigh  Does anyone else know about this? Don’t let Li Wei and the other three children know,” Li Gui said nervously.

“Right now, only Xia Zhe, my mother-in-law and I know about this,” Qiao Mei said.

“Oh, your mother-in-law knows too! Give her a call now! Tell her not to worry. I’m fine!” Li Gui said agitatedly.

“Xia Zhe has already told her. Don’t worry,” Qiao Mei comforted her.

When Li Gui became agitated, her head would hurt. Qiao Mei quickly helped her to lie down. The most important thing for Li Gui now was to recuperate and rest well. Qiao Mei would handle the rest.

Qiao Mei went to the living room of the ward. She made a call to Da Zhuang and asked him to bring a team to the hospital immediately. She wanted them to surround the ward and prevent any unrelated parties from trying to enter.

Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong finally arrived after a long time. Qiao Mei walked out of the ward and looked at the people in front of her quietly. Molly stood behind Qiao Mei and whispered, “This is the man who beat up Boss Li and caused her to be sent to the hospital.”

“Is Li Gui alright? The medical staff doesn’t let us ride in the ambulance. We searched for a long time before we found this place. Is she alright? What did the doctor say?” Zhang Qian asked.

“It’s not good. Her head is injured. She might be unconscious for a long time,” Qiao Mei said sadly as she looked at Zhang Qian.

The Li and Zhang family members did not dare to make any sound. Zhang Qian looked towards the ward suspiciously. He remembered he did not hit her too hard, so how could she be unconscious?

“My mother needs to be hospitalized for quite a while. On my way here, I had already called the police. The police will be here soon. You’d better come clean and tell me who’s the one who hurt my mother. Then I know who I should get the medical fees from,” Qiao Mei said.

For a moment, Zhang Qian felt a little afraid. Zhang Cong moved towards the exit quietly. They could not afford to pay the medical fees. During the fight, there were many people around and all the staff in the restaurant were witnesses.

“This matter has nothing to do with us! We didn’t do it!” Li Tao said.

“It’s him! They injured Fourth Sister! I saw it with my own eyes!” Li Juan said as she pointed at Zhang Qian.

“You have to compensate us! My fourth daughter can’t be beaten up for nothing! The medical fees for her stay here! The nutrition fees! You have to pay for them! Now that my fourth daughter is injured, the restaurant can’t continue operating, so you have to compensate us for the losses as well!” Old Madam Li pointed at Zhang Qian and roared at him.

“You can’t pin this on me! You were the one who scolded me first!” Zhang Qian said quickly.

The Li and Zhang family members started arguing. Qiao Mei leaned against the door and watched quietly. The VIP ward had very good soundproofing. No matter how noisy it was in the corridor, it could not be heard inside the room.

Every VIP ward had dedicated nursing service for 24 hours a day. The patient was monitored at all times and there was always a nurse around if the patient needed anything.

After the two sides argued for a long time, there was still no conclusion. Qiao Mei clapped her hands and said loudly, “How about this! You’ll each bear half of the medical fees! The hospitalization fee is 1,200 dollars a day. The doctor says that my mother will have to stay here for at least 10 days, so each family can just pay us 6,000 dollars.”

“6,000 dollars! Why don’t you just go and rob a bank! How can this lousy place be so expensive!” Li Juan said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.

Zhang Qian could not bear to leave the capital, nor could he bear to leave Li Gui. Now that Li Gui was so beautiful and rich, he did not want to go back to be with that nasty woman! All he wanted to do now was to remarry Li Gui.

“This fee is really too high. Can we move her to a normal ward? We can take care of her! We will definitely take good care of her!” Zhang Qian promised.

Qiao Mei smiled mockingly and said, “Ever since my mother came to the capital, she has never stayed in an ordinary ward. My mother is a VIP here. If she comes to this hospital, she will be directly admitted into the VIP ward. Why should our standard of living be lowered because of you? You can either fork out the money or go to the police station. Choose one option.”

Li Tao still wanted to argue with Qiao Mei, but Old Madam Li gripped his hand and looked at Qiao Mei, saying, “We’ll give you the money! But we don’t have so much money with us right now. We have to go back and pool together the money and we’ll send it to you tonight.”

Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction. She looked at Zhang Qian and he said with a troubled expression, “I need to go back to pool together the money too.”
