Mrs. Qiu verbally agreed very graciously, just short of raising her hand to swear an oath.
But when it came down to action, it was another story.
The nurse escorted the two to Sun Ling’s hospital room door, where Sun Ling, thinking her mother had come back, was about to tease her with a smile. But the instant she saw Mr. and Mrs. Qiu, her smile faded, and she turned her face away.
"Miss Sun... these two..."
"I don’t want to see them," Sun Ling said coldly.
The nurse turned around, about to send the two away, but Mr. Qiu promptly dragged her out.
"Hey hey hey... Who do you think you are? The patient said she doesn’t want to see you."
Mrs. Qiu hurriedly closed the door, then approached Sun Ling, observing her complexion as she spoke, "Xiaoling... I’m here today for nothing else but to see you."
"How do you have the shame to come here?" Sun Ling countered, "Why don’t you wait for your son to kill me and then go directly to the memorial hall to offer incense?"
"You’re fine, aren’t you?" Mrs. Qiu said, "Besides, Tianyi said that he only hired someone to beat you up, he never told anyone to kidnap you. The thug who kidnapped you has nothing to do with Tianyi, that’s a different matter, you need to separate the two!"
"How thick-skinned can you Qiu family members be to say such shameless things up to this point?" Sun Ling asked, agitatedly propped up on the bed, "That’s called attempted crime by your son, and he has to face legal responsibility! The world is not at the whim of your Qiu family to do whatever you like."
"I know... I understand, my son got bewitched for a moment. Xiaoling, you haven’t really come to any harm, whatever compensation you want, whatever medical expenses, I’m willing to pay. But could you please be generous and let Tianyi off?"
"I don’t want anything; I just want Qiu Tianyi to go to prison," Sun Ling stated resolutely, "The Qiu family can use whatever tricks they have; I’m not afraid."
"Sun Ling, what good does it do for you if my son goes to prison?"
"No good at all, but at least it would be a relief for my anger!"
"Do you realize how many people in Qiu Corporation are waiting for my son to provide for them?" Mrs. Qiu grew upset as well, counting on her fingers, "If anything happens to him, our Qiu family would be done for!"
"So, just because so many people are waiting on your son, he should be innocent if he commits murder or arson? Is that what can be pardoned?"
"Sun Ling, you’re perfectly fine here..."
Sun Ling didn’t want to hear any more nonsense from Mrs. Qiu and pressed the emergency call button beside her bed.
Soon, the head nurse rushed over. Upon seeing strangers in the room, her brows immediately furrowed: "Who are you? The patient has refused visitors; what are you doing here?"
"Head nurse, your nurse let these people in," Sun Ling pointed at Mrs. Qiu while speaking to the head nurse, "This person has been causing a commotion ever since she entered, not letting me rest at all."
"I’m sorry, Miss Sun, we’ll handle this immediately." After speaking, the rather portly head nurse approached Mrs. Qiu and said coldly, "Please, leave this room now."
"Sun Ling, if you don’t reconcile, I will come back again!"
Mrs. Qiu, still hopeful, was chased out of Sun Ling’s hospital room by the head nurse. At that moment, a big shot was passing by to visit someone and saw the commotion at the door of the room, immediately knowing that trouble had come knocking.
Before Mrs. Qiu could stretch her hand toward the room again, Shi Lan caught her wrist.
However, the young lady was covered up so tightly at the time that Mrs. Qiu couldn’t recognize her, only warning in an unpleasant tone: "Let go!"
