Chapter 469: 436 Admitting and correcting mistakes is the most virtuous act (2nd update)

"Honey, let’s just apologize," the plump boy’s mother panicked. She didn’t know the exact situation inside, but she also didn’t want to blow things out of proportion.

Looking at those people around, they were randomly filming with their phones, and God knows what they would write once they upload it to the internet.

If today’s incident accidentally ends up trending, and it affects her husband’s rating which he’s been waiting for all these years, and if he missed out on it because of this accident, wouldn’t that be so unfair?

It’s just not worth it.

"Apologize for what now?" The woman’s father-in-law was absolutely livid. He couldn’t believe that those three would pull such a stunt. He’d seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as them.

The child with them was paler than other children to begin with, who knows, maybe he wasn’t in good health. Yet, they used this opportunity to extort his family.

If that was the case, he would certainly write a scathing article to criticize such vile social conduct.

The plump boy’s grandmother and great-grandmother exchanged glances and felt some regret. On reflection, it was a minor issue that could have been resolved with mutual apologies and taking the child away, and the whole commotion would have been over.

But now, being detained by the police like this, when would this be resolved?

Twenty minutes later, Bai Dingxian took the lead and came over with an ambulance from the Central Hospital.

On the phone, Tang Su told Bai Dingxian that Lu Han had already identified himself as a doctor from Huanan Hospital; at this point, it might be inappropriate for Huanan Hospital’s ambulance to come.

Tang Su, being extra cautious, reminded Bai Dingxian, who then naturally called the Central Hospital, which was also closer to the amusement park.

Bai Dingxian himself took a taxi to the amusement park. At the entrance, he met with the Central Hospital’s ambulance and joined them in their vehicle to enter.

When everyone saw the ambulance arrive and take the unconscious Tongtong away, the plump boy’s family finally panicked. If someone died, their family couldn’t bear such a consequence.

The plump boy was also distressed and grabbed his mother’s hand, "Mom, let me go and apologize to the uncle and auntie. I wanted to catch their little cat, and the auntie stopped me, but I didn’t like that, so I cried."

When the plump boy explained what had happened, his mother was so angry she didn’t know what to say.

This child really spoiled their whole family.

It was only after his father was restrained that he thought of revealing the truth of the matter.

But even so, going to apologize now, would they even accept it?

If only they hadn’t left in a huff earlier and had sincerely apologized, perhaps the matter would have been over.

Alas, it’s too late for regrets now.

"Here’s what we’ll do, daughter-in-law, you take the baby home first. I’ll go with your dad to the police station to cooperate, and both of you drive to the hospital. Buy something to visit with, and first apologize on behalf of our family. We will make a formal apology later."

The plump boy’s grandfather said.

"Mm." The whole family agreed to this arrangement.

**

Because of the timely ’rescue,’ Tongtong woke up successfully and was then taken to the ward for several hours of observation.

Bai Dingxian bought them rice to eat; after such a tumultuous incident, all three were starving. To make their act convincing, Tang Su and Lu Han hadn’t eaten during the time Tongtong was in the emergency room.

The police continued to record everything on the scene.

They also asked the treating doctor some questions about the child’s previous heart surgery. Such a child obviously couldn’t handle being shocked.

Facing the threat of the stranger wanting to slap his sister, how could a little child endure such fright? It was clear that the threat played a role.

With the doctor’s conclusion, now Tang Su and Lu Han held the initiative in this matter.

The two had never intended to confront that family of strangers they had never met. In fact, at the beginning, if those parents had just listened to them carefully, apologized, and then taken their child home for some proper teaching, that would have been enough.

The matter wouldn’t have blown up like this.

Now, five adults had come over with the chubby boy to apologize to them by bowing and also brought a lot of nutritional supplements for Tongtong.

The chubby boy’s mother even took out twenty thousand Yuan as compensation for them.

This apology showed their family’s sincere intentions.

Tang Su and Lu Han accepted their sincerity and also accepted the charity on behalf of Tongtong; Tongtong’s family was in need of money, and it wasn’t that they wanted to extort them.

After all, the chubby boy’s mother made it clear that the money was for little Tongtong, so it was natural for Tang Su and Lu Han not to refuse it on Tongtong’s behalf.

Considering that Tongtong was largely unharmed, Lu Han and Tang Su naturally let the matter go, and when the chubby boy’s father learned what had happened, he came over himself to apologize and promised that, once home, he would teach his child properly.

Thus, the conflict between the two families was resolved.

After that family left, Huanan Hospital naturally didn’t arrange for Tongtong to be admitted since he wasn’t seriously injured to begin with.

Once the outsiders had left, Lu Han looked at Tongtong seriously, "Tongtong, Doctor Lu has something to say to you."

Tongtong also knew he had been impulsive today; he shouldn’t have faked being sick.

"Okay, Doctor Lu, go ahead."

"Don’t scare Tongtong," Tang Su said with concern in her voice as she noticed Tongtong’s eyes were red, urging him not to be too harsh.

Standing aside, Bai Dingxian remained silent, thinking to himself that it was fortunate for the boy to be taught a lesson by Lu Han.

Otherwise, Lu Han surely wouldn’t have bothered talking so much.

"Don’t worry, I won’t," Lu Han said gently to reassure Tang Su before explaining to Tongtong the many downsides of faking illness, like how they could have easily been exposed if he and Tang Su hadn’t coordinated well, especially with so many onlookers present.

Being exposed would mean that even if they were initially in the right, they would end up looking wrong.

Secondly, his actions had wasted public resources, which was also wrong.

Thirdly, his sudden fainting and pale face really frightened the people who cared about him.

Tongtong nodded, "I’m sorry, Doctor Lu. I won’t dare to do it again."

"Good, Tongtong."

To err is human, to forgive divine, and since Tongtong understood his mistake and was willing to correct it, Lu Han naturally wouldn’t hold a grudge.

"This kid, with such good acting skills, might consider learning acting when he grows up. Who knows, he might even become incredibly famous," said Bai with a hint of humor, lightening the serious atmosphere considerably.

Finally, Tang Su suggested, "Doctor Bai, why don’t you invite Sun Qing, and let’s go have dinner at the little pub tonight?"

"Who’s paying?" Bai Dingxian asked, protectively clutching his moneybag.

"We can’t let you pay, of course. Lu Han and I will take care of it."

"Well, that’s great then. I’ll go get ready. Since Sun Qing is your best friend, Mrs. Lu, may I trouble you to call her and invite her along?"

Tang Su: "..."
