Ruan Jianguo looked at her blankly, not answering.
Just now, at the hospital, he was only concerned about Ruan Jiaojiao; he completely forgot about this matter. It was only when Ruan Jiaojiao brought it up that he remembered they hadn’t taken the time to thank anyone after arriving at the hospital.
"Let’s go tomorrow, it’s too late today," Ruan Hao said from the side.
"Yes, it’s too late today, let’s formally thank them tomorrow," Shu Jiao also nodded.
Is that all?
Ruan Jiaojiao scratched her forehead with her small claws, feeling like she had forgotten something major!
Ruan Jiaojiao thought about it all the way home but still couldn’t recall what she had forgotten. Moreover, with the Ruanlin Family and Old Man Shu waiting for them at home, after some emotional moments, she completely forgot about it.
After drinking the heartwarming goat milk fed by someone from the Ruanlin Family, she practically fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Outside, the sky gradually brightened; the night was over.
Ruan Jiaojiao returned safe and sound, and only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They weren’t eager to ask what happened, and seeing her asleep, couldn’t bear to wake her up.
But compared to the tranquility at the Shu Family, things were in an uproar elsewhere.
The eldest brother of the Jiang Family received a call early in the morning from the cook at Jiang Bin’s house, saying that Jiang Bin had been beaten up in the alleyway in front of his home, beaten so badly it was unbearable to look at, and one of his arms was dislocated.
A few years ago, Jiang Bin still lived at the old residence of the Jiang Family. In recent years, as Jiang Xun grew up, he moved out from the old residence to live in the single dormitory arranged by his workplace. Usually, no one was in the dormitory except when the cook came to make meals.
The cook usually didn’t come in the morning because Jiang Bin often had breakfast at the unit’s canteen. However, due to special circumstances yesterday, the eldest brother Jiang Yuanlong had informed the cook to go early and keep an eye on Jiang Bin.
Who knew that when the cook arrived, she hadn’t even reached Jiang Bin’s dormitory when she found him in a garbage pile in front of his house.
Because Jiang Bin was beaten so cruelly, she didn’t recognize him at first. Seeing someone lying there with an unrecognizable face, she thought it was a homicide and was scared out of her wits.
Gathering her courage to check, she then recognized Jiang Bin from his clothes and build.
"Oh my goodness," she said, clutching her chest in fear, immediately checking his breath, and seeing he was still alive, she quickly called for help to carry him to the nearest hospital.
During this entire process, Jiang Bin did not regain consciousness, reeking of alcohol. After the doctor’s examination, aside from multiple injuries on his body, his right hand was also broken.
Jiang Yuanlong rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the call. Seeing Jiang Bin lying on the hospital bed with a face swollen like a pig, he thought he’d walked into the wrong room and stepped back two steps until he bumped into the cook who had just finished paying the fees.
"Madam Xue, this is..."
"Yes, this is Young Master Jiang Bin," Madam Xue said helplessly.
Jiang Yuanlong took a couple of deep breaths, then angrily said, "Who exactly did this, beating him like this? Did you see anyone?"
Madam Xue shook her head: "When I saw Young Master Jiang Bin, he was already lying in that garbage pile."
Jiang Yuanlong furrowed his brows, unable to figure out who could have been so ruthless.
A nurse entered with a form, glancing at the two of them, "Who’s the family member? Please sign here; we’re preparing for surgery."
Jiang Bin’s hand was broken and needed immediate surgery to be reattached.
