Chapter 1114: Chapter 1083: Such Torture!

Xu Jian, standing by the bed, held his mother’s hand and whispered, "Mom, please wake up, someone has come to save us, no one dares to hurt us anymore."

As Xu Jian spoke, he wept, but his mother did not wake up, and he worried she might never wake up again.

After dinner, Song Chunli saw the child silently weeping by his mother and said, "Xiao Jian, don’t cry, from now on, grandma will protect you and your mom."

By ten o’clock, Director Wang had personally arrived.

He Tiantian didn’t move but whispered, "Director Wang, I want to ask what kind of grievances my sister has suffered."

Director Wang inwardly cursed the Xu Family as being inhuman; even to an ordinary person, they shouldn’t inflict such torment.

Moreover, considering she is a young lady from a high official’s family, they really had dug their own grave.

Though he was also curious how a young lady from a high official’s family ended up here, it was Huo Family’s private matter, and he did not feel it was his place to pry.

"Originally, Yu Weiwei was a worker in a textile factory, fell in love with Xu Kaifa, and married him. A year after their marriage, they had Xu Jian, and their life was bumpy but somewhat peaceful until half a year ago when Yu Weiwei had a car accident. The car owner paid thirty thousand in compensation, but Xu Kaifa’s mother, without waiting for Weiwei’s injuries to heal, took her back home and did not care for her properly. Since then, Weiwei’s leg has developed chronic issues, and Xu Kaifa started disliking Weiwei, getting close to a widow instead. Weiwei proposed that if they let her have Xu Jian, she would agree to the divorce, but the Xu Family refused. Afterwards, Old Lady Xu didn’t want to divide the money with Weiwei, so she thought of..." Director Wang dared not hide anything, as these matters could be found out with just a little investigation.

Upon hearing this, Song Chunli trembled with anger, her face turning a mix of green and red.

This family is simply inhumane!

Huo Yingjie hurriedly stepped forward, took his great aunt’s hand, and helped stabilize Song Chunli’s emotions by saying, "Great Aunt, stay calm, stay calm, take deep breaths, take deep breaths."

After taking a few deep breaths, Song Chunli clenched her teeth and said, "They want to grind my daughter to death, burn her to ashes, and then they won’t have to divide anything. The Xu Family really has a cruel heart!"

At her age, Song Chunli had seen and known a lot, but she had never encountered a family so ruthless.

Truly heartless and unfeeling!

Utterly disgraceful!

After a while, Song Chunli said again, "Director Wang, we are reporting this now, let’s have my daughter and grandson checked for injuries, I want the Xu Family utterly ruined and jailed."

Director Wang nodded continuously, "I’ll get someone on it right away."

Song Chunli knew that, although her family held positions of power and could crush the Xu Family, she couldn’t do that, as it would burden the Huo Family with potential repercussions.

Thus, it was best to pursue legal actions, and as for what happens to the Xu Family after the dust settles, what does it have to do with the Huo Family?

With Song Chunli calling the shots, things were much easier for Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian.

"Yingjie, go call Grandpa, Grandma, and Great Uncle to reassure them," He Tiantian suggested, guessing that the elders at home must have had a sleepless night.

"Right, Yingjie, you should quickly call your Grandpa, Grandma, and Great Uncle," Song Chunli urgently said, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Originally, Yingqi was the youngest child in the family and a girl at that, Grandpa, Grandma, and I all doted on her. I never expected her to be so spoiled that she couldn’t tell right from wrong, to be used by others, and to bring harm to the Huo Family. But seeing her like this breaks my heart."

Before having children, He Tiantian might not have fully understood Song Chunli’s feelings.

But now, she is a mother of three.

Huo Ruimin is her only daughter, and even if the whole world wouldn’t forgive her, she, as a mother, would still do everything in her power to protect her.

This is a mother’s instinct.

"Great Aunt, I understand you," He Tiantian said, "Life is the best teacher, having gone through so much, I believe Yingqi will have learned a lot."

"I hope so," Song Chunli said, "As the old saying goes, ’A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit,’ she has suffered so much loss, she will surely have grown wiser."

"Yes," He Tiantian comforted, "unless someone is a fool, but anyone with a normal brain would learn their lesson."

After a while, He Tiantian said, "Yingjie, you take your aunt to the hotel to rest. I’ve already booked a room for her."

"I don’t want to go back," Song Chunli shook her head. "I can’t rest easy until my daughter wakes up."

Huo Yingjie comforted her, "Aunt, go back and rest first. Once Yingqi wakes up, Tiantian will call us."

"Yes, Aunt, you should take care of your health," He Tiantian said, trying to persuade her aunt to leave.

Song Chunli thought it over, realizing this wasn’t a matter that could be resolved quickly, then nodded and said, "Alright, to put your minds at ease, I’ll go back and rest. Call me right away when Yingqi wakes up."

"Yes, I will, Aunt," He Tiantian said. "Yingjie, take your aunt there."

"Okay, I’ll go take a shower and relax," Huo Yingjie said, taking the room card from He Tiantian.

After Huo Yingjie and Song Chunli had left, He Tiantian and Xu Jian stayed with Huo Yingqi.

The lunch, too, was bought from outside by Wei Yuanyuan.

By three in the afternoon, Xu Jian had fallen asleep next to his mom.

He Tiantian also dozed off on the sofa for a while when she suddenly heard Xu Jian’s cry.

"Mom, Mom, are you awake?" Xu Jian said excitedly, tightly grasping his mom’s hand.

The woman’s sunken eyes moved, looking at Xu Jian and struggling to muster a smile: "Xiao Jian... "

Her voice was hoarse, due to not having had water to drink for several days.

He Tiantian had been giving her some water every hour, so now she was still able to speak.

He Tiantian quickly pressed the bedside button to notify the doctor and nurse that the patient was awake.

It was then that Huo Yingqi saw He Tiantian, her eyes widened as she said, "You... you... "

"Mom, this is Auntie," Xu Jian said. "I went to find Auntie to save us. Grandma and Dad dare not hit us anymore. Mom, are you hungry? There’s porridge in the thermos, Xiao Jian will feed you."

At this point, Huo Yingqi couldn’t say anything, only tears kept flowing down.

These were tears of shame.

These were tears of apology.

These were tears of survival after a calamity.

"I’m... I’m sorry." Huo Yingqi said. Ever since the Huo family had fallen into trouble, she had realized her grave errors, and that’s why she had never thought of reaching out to her parents here, no matter how tough it got.

Because she felt too ashamed to see her parents, her relatives.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "It’s all in the past, don’t think too much."

The doctors and nurses came in and after examining Huo Yingqi, one of them said, "Hmm, the recovery looks good, you can have some porridge now."

The nurse helped raise the bed, allowing Huo Yingqi to sit up, and pulled over a small table from the side of the bed.

After thanking the doctor, He Tiantian poured some porridge, wanting to feed Huo Yingqi.
