Chapter 607 Taking the shit back
Chu Xin watched the Gao family's futile attempts to cover up their misunderstanding, her smile widening as she glanced at them and asked in a puzzled tone:
"Hey, why are you all in such a hurry? I haven't even gotten to the point yet. Let me finish explaining everything, and then we can compare everything and see where the discrepancies are. That way, it won't be too late for you to get angry, right?"
The Gao family members didn't say a word, and even the onlookers couldn't help but focus their attention on them, clearly showing that they were very unhappy.
What does it mean to be unwilling?
Of course they're guilty and don't want people to talk about it!
The secrets are something that officials like them would be curious about. They would be willing to skip breakfast and gather here to watch the excitement, even if it meant skipping an IV drip.
Someone couldn't help but chime in: "Ladies, don't listen to what they're saying!"
Chu Xin clapped her hands and spread them out as if she had no choice. "If I keep talking, this person will be so angry that they'll die. Then I'll be in the wrong, won't I? No, no, I should be the one in the wrong now."
The old lady Gao, who had been pointed at by her, was quite angry. She poked Chu Xin and kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time without saying anything more.
The second and third sons of the Gao family, each supporting one side, seemed to want to back down, but for the sake of saving face, they still used the tone of "I am a gentleman and will not stoop to the level of you petty people" to directly attack Zhou Yichen, "Very well, very well. My Gao family is currently facing a great change. My eldest brother has passed away and my father is bedridden. It is a time of great turmoil and it is inevitable that we will be bullied and schemed against by some people with ulterior motives. However, some people should not be too smug. We will see who laughs last when the tide turns!"
Before Zhou Yichen could reply, Chu Xin retorted, "No way, you'd be at a disadvantage. Why don't you stay and let's talk things out before you leave? I know your family's affairs very well, so why don't I tell you all about them too?"
The second and third sons of the Gao family: ...
Who is she anyway? Why is she involved in everything?
Old Mrs. Gao gripped her two sons' arms tightly, her nails digging into their flesh. After a long while, she explained to them in a resentful voice, "She's also from the Central Special Branch. She worked on our family's case with that Zhou guy!"
The second and third brothers suddenly realized, no wonder they all knew each other. How could they possibly get to the bottom of this? They knew all too well that having connections in the court made things easier.
They were just unlucky today; we shouldn't dwell on it anymore.
"Sigh, Mother, we can't fight against the situation. If you ask me, what happened to the eldest son's family is what it is, so don't get upset about it. Right now, nothing is more important than your and Father's health. Let's not stoop to their level."
As the two men helped their mother away, they put on airs and said some things to save face.
No wonder they were in a hurry. Su Zihang was protected and couldn't move, and Gao Ziyou, the most troublesome one, was still in the hospital. They had to take advantage of his unconscious state and get him out of the hospital as soon as possible.
Chu Xin pretended to stop them, and also pulled Zhou Yichen along, "Don't go, how can we let you leave feeling wronged? What if someone says we're abusing our power for personal gain?"
Zhou Yichen also cooperated with a cold face and said, "That's true. Why don't we have the elders of the Gao family stay and discuss this further?"
The Gao family was furious, but they didn't dare to say another tough word. They could deal with Su Zihang because he was just an ordinary person who had been discharged from the army due to injury and had nothing. Even if the Gao family was not as powerful as before, they could still control him.
It's a pity that with Zhou Yichen present, and that reckless woman stirring things up, the Gao family's reputation could be ruined, and they might not be able to stay in the military and political circles anymore.
After the Gao family left, filled with indignation, Yang Zheng finally let go of Su Zihang's hand. He rubbed his wrist and punched Su Zihang in anger, "You bastard, don't you know how precious my hand is? You'll break it if you use any more force!"
Su Zihang didn't dodge; he obediently took the beating. If Yang Zheng hadn't been there today, who knows what he might have done.
Chu Xin wasn't in the mood to see him being sentimental, and asked, "Was Sister Du Zhi disturbed?"
"I didn't let her face these people. When I saw things were going wrong, I had the nurse from yesterday move her to another ward early this morning. The people we left behind were also sent over to keep an eye on her."
Yang Zheng spoke first, "We didn't expect such a coincidence. Before you left, you mentioned that we might run into the Gao family here, so Lao Su and I haven't gone out much. We've had to be brought food and drinks. Who would have thought that Dr. Xu is actually the maternal niece of the old lady from the Gao family? She came to find someone to beat us up, catching us completely off guard."
Xu Liufang is the niece of Old Madam Gao's family.
This back-and-forth actually made things more complicated.
Su Zihang frowned. "The Gao family is too unreasonable. Last night, just because they found out that Dr. Xu saved that old woman Azhi, they actually slapped her. I feel really bad about it."
This was something Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen hadn't expected. However, whether it was gratitude or enmity, it had nothing to do with the Gao family. The old lady Gao's demand that Du Zhi leave the hospital and her insistence on making Su Zihang kneel down and apologize to Gao Ziyou based on their past favors was utter nonsense.
Chu Xin was afraid that Su Zihang would do something foolish to avoid trouble, so she said to him, "Dr. Xu is a good doctor, and you should remember her kindness. As for the Gao family, although you and Gao Ziyou were both discharged from the army at that time, justice will prevail, and you don't need to endure it. As long as no one dies, it's fine. Although Zhou Yichen and I are not high-ranking officials in the central government, we can still help you clean up the mess."
We're not afraid of reasoning with you; bring it on!
Talking about power, haha. The Gao family is already in such a sorry state, yet they still want to ride on the heads of ordinary people. Why can't she and Zhou Yichen follow suit and take back their position?
