Chapter 347: By Her Account
Chapter 347
Huo Mei Shu accompanied Lu Zheng to the hospital for an examination, and saw the purple and blue bruises all over Lu Zheng's body.
Moreover, Lu Zheng was a little absent-minded. Huo Mei Shu couldn't help but go out to the hallway to muffle her sobs.
Lying on the hospital bed receiving the examination, Lu Zheng was like a puppet without a soul. Thinking back on the scenes from last night, as well as the torment and encounters today, all of this felt to her like she had just walked through hell and back.
Rong Dai was alone at the hospital, unable to sleep from worry, so she called Huo Mei Shu.
Huo Mei Shu quickly wiped away her tears, her voice hoarse: "Hello, sister-in-law..."
Hearing the hoarse voice of her young aunt-in-law, Rong Dai felt her heart drop. She knew things must be extremely terrible.
"How is mother?"
She cautiously inquired.
Huo Mei Shu sniffled, originally wanting to steady her emotions, but unable to hold back from crying out.
Listening to her young aunt-in-law's broken sobs, Rong Dai also felt her heart sink.
In fact, when her young aunt-in-law told her about this matter earlier, she had already expected as much.
A lone man and woman, drinking alcohol together.
With them sharing a room, how could something not happen?
If it was consensual for mother-in-law, that would be fine.
But things actually took such a turn!
A habitual fraudster, using memories from their youth to sway mother-in-law.
Someone like mother-in-law is easily deceived.
For mother-in-law, this is simply a blow!
If mother-in-law can't move past this herself, then the second half of her life will be ruined!
Rong Dai was also anxious. She thought that her own health had recovered quite a bit, although she still needed recuperation.
But her young aunt-in-law was alone accompanying mother-in-law at the hospital, so she really couldn't help but worry.
"Sister-in-law, you focus on resting, I can handle things alone here..." Upon hearing Rong Dai's inquiry, Huo Mei Shu shook her head while wiping away tears.
"Mother cares a lot about face. With something like this happening, if too many people come, I'm afraid she'll be even more averse to the examination."
Huo Mei Shu explained in one sentence.
Hearing her young aunt explain in this way, Rong Dai also had no argument, only instructing her to pay attention to mother-in-law's emotions before hanging up.
That entire night, Rong Dai was unable to fall asleep at all, until Huo Shao Ting finally returned at 3 AM.
"Shao Ting."
Seeing him return, she immediately got out of bed to pour him a cup of warm water.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Rong Dai pursed her lips without asking much.
"Someone instructed Yin Zhongjun to get close to her. All of the perpetrator's information is overseas, completely outside the country."
"The news of your hospitalization was tricked out of mother. I've already sent people to investigate, we should have news soon."
She didn't ask, but Huo Shao Ting took the initiative to explain.
Rong Dai felt a chill in her heart.
The other party had set up such an elaborate trap solely to target her, and implicated mother-in-law because of her.
"Shao Ting, I didn't know this would bring such great harm to mother. I..."
Although she hadn't gone to see mother-in-law, based on her young aunt-in-law's tone, things were clearly not simple.
She felt extremely guilty inside.
She also truly could not understand, just who exactly this was.
Who hated her so much, to such an extent?
To expend such effort designing against her, just to ruin her?
"This isn't your fault, don't blame yourself."
Huo Shao Ting held her hand, looking at her with an exceptionally serious gaze.
If it weren't for those people harboring evil intentions, wanting to harm others, how could they have used such vicious and despicable means?
"How is mother now?"
Rong Dai lowered her head, very uneasy inside.
"Recuperating in the hospital. Once she's recovered a bit, I'll send her overseas."
Huo Shao Ting said while pulling her into his embrace.
