Chapter 403: Four hundred and three extremely stupid_1

Utter Folly

Upon hearing these words, the woman immediately became frantic, turning around, her face twisted in a shrill scream.

"Pretty boy, what do you mean? Are you suggesting I poisoned my own son? Every meal Xiao Xuan eats is made by my own hands, and we all eat together as a family. He’s a piece of my own flesh; how dare you slander me like this? Explain yourself right now, or we’re not done here!"

After she finished her sentence, she immediately grabbed onto Gu Chen with a burst of anger.

It was as if all the problems were arising from Gu Chen himself, as if he’s the one who’d poisoned the boy.

Gu Chen was truly distressed and baffled. He pulled her hand off him, his tone helpless. "When did I say it was you who poisoned him? What exactly did he have for breakfast? Tell me everything, don’t leave out a single detail."

Gu Chen was feeling overwhelmed. If it hadn’t been for his urgent need to save someone right now, he would have just walked away. People like her were simply not worth his time – it was beneath him.

Meanwhile, the exchange between the two had instantly drawn the attention of everyone in the carriage.

Many around them couldn’t help but start whispering, with remarks about poisoning a son thrown into the mix.

It surely must be due to a cheating husband or some dispute over an inheritance, they suggested.

Hearing this, the woman erupted like a keg of dynamite all at once.

She immediately grabbed Gu Chen’s collar and cursed. "You pretty boy, stop slinging dirt at me. I didn’t poison Xiao Xuan, and my husband certainly has not been unfaithful. You think I don’t know what you are up to? Just trying to get back at me for speaking ill of you behind your back. Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. I’m willing to go down fighting but won’t let you succeed! You won’t get away with framing an innocent person."

After spitting out these words, the woman tugged at Gu Chen’s collar like a rabid spitfire.

The bystanders, witnessing the commotion, were also perplexed and quickly gathered around in an attempt to mediate, hoping the two would cool down and stop the dispute.

"Oh my, with the child like this, Xiaoxuan’s Mom, please stop the fuss!"

"Yes, please focus on saving him first!"

"The child seems to be getting worse."

"Yes, stop, stop!"

However, the more they spoke, the more agitated the middle-aged woman became, desperately trying to prove her innocence. It’s true what they say – you find all sorts in the forest. Gu Chen had never encountered someone like this before.

No wonder they say rich people are freaks – it seems there really are such people dragging the wealthy’s name through the mud.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman’s mind was filled with thoughts of her reputation; her mouth was flowing non-stop with all sorts of unbelievable curse words at Gu Chen. At the same time, she was also wildly hitting him.

"Pretty boy, you worthless thing, you dare accuse me of poisoning my son; I will make you pay today!"

Looking at the scratches on his arm from her nails, as well as the fresh, bleeding wound on his shoulder, Gu Chen finally lost his temper completely.

Then there was a sharp "slap" sound, and the entire carriage fell into sudden silence.

The woman who had just been making a scene, now looked at Gu Chen with an incredulous expression, her eyes reddening instantly, portraying a somewhat frightening look.

She then reached out more crazily, trying to claw at Gu Chen’s face, while her mouth issued a wailing cry like that of a slaughtered pig, "Help, murder! This pretty boy is hitting a woman."

But no sooner had her words fallen than another "slap" resounded crisply.

The woman’s wailing suddenly ceased, and at the same time, the other half of her face quickly swelled up.

"You, you hopeless loser, how dare you..."

However, Gu Chen was also infuriated by the other party, "What ’how dare I’? Wake up, will you? Right now in the car, I’m the only one who understands medicine, if you keep causing a scene, your son’s life will really be gone!!!"

Gu Chen’s two slaps were meant to calm her down. There was no choice, she was too frantic, and you really couldn’t control her without taking extreme measures!

"Right, Xiaoxuan’s Mom, stop making a fuss, the child is what’s important!"

"Quick, save the child first!"

Everyone was criticizing Xiaoxuan’s Mom for her impulsive behavior. Having just been slapped and now facing criticism, Xiaoxuan’s Mom came back to her senses, and she looked steadily at Gu Chen.

"Then, then help me check, see what can be done for my son!"

After all she is his birth mother, and although she was dissatisfied with Gu Chen, her child was still lying there. He needed to be saved.

Gu Chen turned and looked over at Xiao Xuan, who at this moment was weakly leaning against the car seat, even having completely lost consciousness.

Gu Chen was anxious in his heart, "Tell me, what exactly did he eat this morning? Speak up!"

The middle-aged woman swallowed nervously, and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Xiao, Xiao Xuan had a plate of lobsters this morning. He said he liked them very much and asked me when we could buy another one. I said, I said when your father gets his bonus next month, we could buy another, and after hearing that, he even cried and made a fuss for a while..."

She said a lot, none of which was the point, leaving Gu Chen completely helpless.

"I’m asking you what he ate, not what he said! Tell me quickly, or it’ll really be dangerous for him!"

The woman, scolded loudly by Gu Chen, was both aggrieved and anxious, with snot and tears streaming down her face as she continued in a broken, stuttering voice.

"He, he also had some stir-fried cucumber... and before leaving the house, he had some vitamin C, sob sob sob, that’s really all there is, I beg you to let me off, I really didn’t poison Xiaoxuan, I ate the same food myself."

This statement really infuriated Gu Chen.

Unlike before Gu Chen’s rebirth, many seafood products in this era have not been inspected.

Some contain a large amount of arsenic, and eating them with vitamins is no different from directly ingesting arsenic.

More importantly, Gu Chen had clearly found signs of allergies on Xiao Xuan’s body, with obvious erythema on his skin.

This indicated that the child was not only suffering from food poisoning, but most likely had an allergy to seafood as well.

At this moment, Gu Chen’s feelings were indescribable. How could anyone be a mother like that? Not even knowing her child had an allergy to seafood and still letting him eat it!

Gu Chen could hardly help but begin to doubt whether this child was her own.

Could it be that the kid was from the husband’s ex-wife, because how could a biological mother possibly do this?

But right now, the other party was in critical condition, and Gu Chen could no longer worry about that.

He then rushed to the front of the bus and urgently said to the driver.

"Driver, stop the bus quickly, I have a way to treat him!"
