Chapter 1977: The Appearance of Tian Dong
After sharing some points to take note of, the doctor left and continued his work.
Once Jiajia was pushed out, Zhai Hua rushed forward. “Jiajia, don’t be afraid. Mom’s here. Mom’s here with you.”
Jiajia had already gained a little consciousness, but the anesthetic had not worn off completely yet. She only knew that her mom was by her side. As such, she shouted ‘mom’ a few times vaguely and didn’t say anything else.
Seeing that her originally lively and healthy daughter was lying in bed sickly and had some serious bruises and swellings on her body, Zhai Hua felt extreme heartache. “I’m going to kill Wei De, that beast.” On account of Jiajia, she didn’t settle scores with Wei De and only let him lead a life that he wished he was better off dead. That was her biggest mistake.
If not for her being too softhearted, how would Wei De have the chance to harm her Jiajia again?
Zhai Sheng grabbed Zhai Hua. “You’re already a mother. How are you still so impulsive? How can you not think before speaking? Let’s not talk about you killing Wei De. Even if you just cripple him, you might arrogantly think that you have helped Jiajia avenge her. The next second, Jiajia would immediately lose a father and have a mother who’s in jail. Did Jiajia owe you in her previous life? Must you, her mother, torture her like that as well?”
“Then, what should I do? Should I just let this go and benefit that beast?” She was unwilling to take this lying down!
…
Zhai Sheng was silent for a while. In the past, the Zhai family was really polite to Wei De for Jiajia’s sake. They only made Wei De lose everything that he had gained from relying on Zhai Hua and didn’t drive him to a corner. It wasn’t that they didn’t have ways to deal with Wei De or teach him a lesson.
After Wei De caused Jiajia to be in a car accident and hospitalized, even if it was for Jiajia, this matter could no longer be left alone. It was just that they were in the hospital now and not their own home. Some things could be done, but some words couldn’t be said outside. “Don’t worry. I’m Jiajia’s uncle. Of course I will care about Jiajia’s matters and give the both of you an explanation.”
Zhai Sheng was not surprised not to see Wei De in the hospital. Wei De was an irresponsible man to begin with. Jiajia wasn’t Wei De’s only child and wasn’t a boy. Wei De’s feelings for Jiajia were just like that. If Wei De dared to stay in the hospital at this time, he would definitely be beaten up severely by the Zhai family.
Anyone with a brain could imagine these situations.
In reality, Wei De wasn’t afraid of being beaten up. He was still worried that he wouldn’t have a chance to be beaten up and use the tactic of self-torture to gain pity. If the Zhai family beat him up but was still unwilling to forgive him and give him another chance, then he would really be disadvantaged.
Wei De was in a terrible situation now. He had no money, no power, and no one. It was very difficult for him to continue living in Ping Cheng. If he got beaten up for nothing and the Zhai family wasn’t appeased, he might end up being unable to work anymore and having to spend a lot of money in the hospital. Wei De knew that even if he was hospitalized for the first day, he would have to be discharged the next day. Who asked him to have no money?
His health and the money in his pockets determined how long he could continue living in Ping Cheng and how much time he had for Zhai Hua and Jiajia to change their minds and accept him again. Wei De didn’t dare to risk making losses. As such, it wasn’t that he was reluctant. He just felt that he stood little chance of winning and might lose badly instead. That would not be worthwhile.
Wei De became smart. However, the Zhai family became more silent now.
Seeing that even Zhai Sheng wasn’t talking now, Zhai Hua was nearly angered to tears. The sins she had created were nothing. No matter how much she fell, she would always tell herself that she deserved it! Who asked her to be blind that year? Everyone told her that Wei De wasn’t good and was unreliable. She would rather believe an outsider than her family. Not only was she blind but also deaf. If she wasn’t unlucky, who else would be? Wei De was too much of a sc.u.mbag that she had to wonder who else was as stupid as her to be scammed by him.
As such, no matter how painful her heart was, Zhai Hua had nothing else to say. However, she couldn’t tolerate the fact that her willfulness in her youth had caused so much pain to her only daughter. The child was innocent. Didn’t Wei De have even the most basic instinct as a father to protect his child?
Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs. Wei De wasn’t even comparable to a beast!
The previously silent Qiao Nan asked, “After all, this involves a car accident. The police would have filed a record, right?”
“Yes,” Zhai Yaohui replied.
“It’s more troublesome to hold someone accountable for this matter. However, it doesn’t mean that we can’t ask for a statement. Wei De’s inappropriateness caused Jiajia to be in a car accident. Moreover, he hasn’t appeared to see Jiajia until now. This is the truth. Although the court decided to give Jiajia to us back then, it didn’t deprive Wei De of the right to see Jiajia. However, based on the incident today, I feel that in this regard, there is room for further negotiation.”
As long as Wei De was deprived of the right to see Jiajia, the chances of Wei De coming into contact with Jiajia would be greatly reduced. At least in school, even if they heard that Wei De is Jiajia’s father, they could reject Wei De’s request to see Jiajia. No matter how one looked at it, since it was based on the court’s ruling, at least public opinion wouldn’t cause too much harm to Jiajia.
Zhai Hua’s eyes shone. “Can that be done?” It wasn’t too bad if Wei De couldn’t see Jiajia again in the future.
“I’ll handle this.” Zhai Sheng expressed that it was certainly possible. Even if it wasn’t, it had to be. Jiajia was already hospitalized after being in a car accident. Wei De, as a father, didn’t do anything. He still wanted to see Jiajia in the future? In his dreams!
“Is the child alright?” At this moment, a male voice suddenly interjected. Qiao Nan looked back and was so shocked that she couldn’t recover herself.
“No worries. Thank you.” Zhai Yaohui’s tone was not bad when he saw the man, even though he was the car owner who knocked down Jiajia. However, if not for Wei De’s hara.s.sment, which forced Jiajia to avoid him in a panic, the car owner wouldn’t have encountered such a bad thing.
Not to mention that after Jiajia was knocked down, the car owner had immediately sent her to the hospital. The sooner the car owner sent Jiajia to the hospital, the more helpful it was for Jiajia to receive better treatment. As luck would have it, the car owner was an ‘acquaintance’ of the Zhai family.
Tian Dong shook his head. “After all, I was the one who knocked her down. All is good as long as the child’s fine.” Upon thinking of how Jiajia’s body was covered with blood, Tian Dong felt heartache for her.
