1186 Against the Law
In the end, the doctor told Zheng Su that the other child died because Zheng Peng was constantly absorbing nutrients from him.
Zheng Su broke down after hearing that. He always thought that he had done many good deeds in his life, so why would he have to suffer such a thing?
After Zheng Su and Zhang Dai heard the news, they started to despise Zheng Peng and left him in the care of a nanny since he was young. This was also the reason why although Zheng Yuan was so loved in the family, Zheng Peng was not favored, even if he was the only son.
They felt that Zheng Peng was a demon and the one who murdered their son! However, it never seemed to occur to them that Zheng Peng was also their son!
“You’re a demon! You ate up a person! You killed a person!” He Mei said as she laughed loudly.
Qian’e immediately asked the security officers to bring He Mei away and remove her from the hospital premises. Zheng Peng was still rooted to the spot as He Mei’s words kept replaying in his mind. It was something that no one had said to him for many years.
“Zheng Peng! Zheng Peng, look at me!” Qian’e shouted as she held Zheng Peng’s hands.
“I’m here… I’m fine. Let’s go and visit Qiao Mei first. I think the noise just now must have alarmed them,” Zheng Peng said with a forced smile.
Given the current situation, Qian’e was no longer in the mood to visit Qiao Mei. It would be better if the two of them did not go and cause trouble for Qiao Mei!
“Let’s go home. I’ll call Qiao Mei to tell her about this. Let’s go home and rest,” Qian’e said.
Zheng Peng nodded and followed Qian’e out of the hospital in a daze.
At the same time, something major was also happening at the Xia family residence. After the Tan family could not manage to contact Tan Jing for a long time, Tan Jing’s mother actually came looking for her. She sat on a small stool outside the Xia family residence’s main door and kicked up a fuss about how the Xia family had caused the death of her daughter. It was giving Xu Lan a huge headache.
“How long is she going to yell? Doesn’t she need to drink water?” Xia He leaned against the door and looked out curiously.
“How can you be concerned about whether she needs to drink water at a time like this? You should be worried about whether your mother needs water!” Xu Lan said in exasperation.
Xia He quickly filled a glass with water and handed it to Xu Lan. She said obsequiously, “Mother, don’t be angry. We can’t do anything to her, right? I remember that Qiao Mei dealt with her by wasting her time! In the end, she gave up and left!”
“Qiao Mei is Qiao Mei! Our family is our family! If you have Qiao Mei’s wits, I won’t have to worry so much! Go and ask your eldest brother to come home! If he doesn’t come back soon, this family will be finished! I’m going to die of anger!” Xu Lan said.
Just as Xia He was about to make a call to Xia Wen, she could suddenly hear his voice outside. He coaxed Jiang Yi into entering the house with a few words.
Xu Lan was about to hide in her room when Jiang Yi wailed, “Oh my! In-law! I can finally see you! You’re so ruthless! You let me cry outside the door alone for so long! My poor daughter must have suffered after marrying into your family!”
“It’s our family who suffered…” Xu Lan muttered to herself.
“Son-in-law! You have to treat my daughter better! After my daughter married you, she really doesn’t have a good life!” Jiang Yi cried.
“Pfft! She lives in a house, wears nice clothes and has a good job. She even keeps sending money to the Tan family. If this is considered a tough life, then what’s considered a good life! Your family’s the one who enjoys a great life!” Xia He said unhappily.
“Hey! What are you saying, young lady! How can you interrupt when your elders are talking? You’re a daughter who’s already married, so how can you still strut around at your maternal home and say whatever you want? How lawless! How can a divorced woman be so arrogant,” Jiang Yi said disdainfully.
Xia Wen and Xu Lan immediately looked annoyed. Xia Wen said unhappily, “Then why do you keep coming here to behave atrociously when your daughter is already married?”
“What are you talking about! I haven’t seen my daughter for so long. Is there anything wrong with me coming to see her? You sold the house and don’t allow us to contact Tan Jing. This is against the law, do you know that! You’re breaking the law!” Jiang Yi stomped her feet anxiously.
