After a momentary outburst, Hou Ting immediately calmed down. She stared at Qiao Nuan, then lowered her voice as she said coldly, "Qiao Nuan, it seems like you care about that child very much. It's a pity that you love him that bad..."
As she spoke, Hou Ting's face actually showed a hint of the pleasure of taking revenge.
Her expression made Qiao Nuan feel conflicted, and subconsciously, she was very concerned.
Qiao Nuan frowned and looked at Hou Ting. "What do you mean by a pity?"
Hou Ting looked as if victory was in her grasp. She actually smiled at Qiao Nuan and did not answer her question. Instead, she strolled to Qiao Lin's side.
"Hubby, since the Gu family is so rude, let's not waste any more time here. Let's rush Qiao Yu to another hospital for treatment."
Qiao Lin brushed off Hou Ting's hand in annoyance. "What do you know? Now that Qiao Yu is injured and hospitalized in the Gu family's private hospital, we can still find an opportunity to meet Mr. Gu and think of a way to mend our relationship with the Gu family..."
So that was what Qiao Lin was thinking. His daughter had fainted on the ground, with blood all over her face. However, as a father, Qiao Lin was actually not in a rush to treat his daughter, but was instead attempting to use this opportunity to seek benefits!
Even though she was already familiar with her husband's nature, Hou Ting could not help but tremble.
Qiao Nuan, on the other hand, could hear far better than an ordinary person, and she could hear Qiao Lin's words clearly. She thought to herself, what kind of scum was this? Fortunately, she had long lost all expectations for his role as a father.
Hou Ting was stunned for a moment. Then, she ignored her husband, negotiated with the hospital staff, and walked straight to the hospital's emergency center.
After a while, a few doctors followed behind Hou Ting, carrying a stretcher over.
The doctors carried Qiao Yu onto the stretcher with Qiao Lin watching from the side. Thinking that they would bring Qiao Yu to the hospital for treatment, Hou Ting went up to them with a joyous face.
"Thank you, doctors. Did Mr. Gu order for my daughter to be treated? I have to go and apologize to him. I also have to thank him for not digging up the past and for forgiving my daughter's offense..."
The doctor looked at Qiao Lin with a half-smile, as if he was looking at a clown. "Mr. Qiao, you're overthinking. We only lent you an ambulance to help you move the patient."
Qiao Lin's surprised expression froze on his face. For a moment, he looked embarrassed and angry.
He seemed to have understood something. He looked at Hou Ting, who was beside the stretcher, angrily. "You went to pick up the ambulance just now? Who told you to act on your own?!"
Facing the angry Qiao Lin, Hou Ting was subconsciously nervous, but she did not back down. "Hubby, the wound on Xiao Yu's head was caused by friction. Qiao Nuan hit her so hard because she wanted Xiao Yu to die. We can't drag this on any longer. We have to get Xiao Yu treated as soon as possible..."
"This is the hospital. Of course, Xiao Yu will receive timely treatment!" Qiao Lin averted his wife's gaze awkwardly. "The Gu family will not let anything happen to Xiao Yu. They will not allow her to be left alone."
"Are you trying to use Xiao Yu's life to bargain with the Gu family?" Hou Ting smiled miserably. "Hubby, Xiao Yu is your biological daughter."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Yu is my biological daughter. Didn't I do this for her sake?"
Qiao Lin, whose thoughts had been exposed, was a little angry. "Moreover, this is all the trouble that Qiao Yu has caused. You raised her so arrogantly, and she actually dared to attack Mr. Gu's only son? I haven't blamed her for implicating the Qiao family!"
Looking at the flustered Qiao Lin, Hou Ting shook her head in disappointment. "Hubby, you have your own ideas and schemes, but I won't bet my daughter's life on the Gu's forgiveness!"
With that, Hou Ting waved her hand at the doctor who was carrying the girl. "I'll have to trouble the doctor to send my daughter to the ambulance. Then, I'll ask a nurse to follow the ambulance and help escort her safely to the public hospital in the city center."
The doctor did not want anyone to die in the hospital either. Hou Ting's arrangement was exactly what the hospital wished for, so he nodded and agreed.
Qiao Lin grabbed Hou Ting's arm and said, "Stop fooling around. If we send Xiao Yu away now, we might never be forgiven by the Gu family."
"The Gu family? My daughter is about to die. Why do you still care about the Gu family?!"
Hou Ting shook off Qiao Lin's arm and looked coldly at her husband, with who she'd shared a bed for decades.
"Qiao Lin, I've just seen your true colors today. For the sake of profit, are you willing to give up anything?"
Qiao Lin took a deep breath and tried hard to maintain the calm on his face. "What nonsense is this?!"
"Nonsense? Haha, for the sake of profit, you let your first wife's mental illness get worse and worse. For the sake of profit, you schemed against your own biological child... These are all facts that I've seen with my own eyes!"
Qiao Nuan watched the drama of a husband and wife turning against each other in the waiting area and felt how truly remarkable it was.
Then, she saw Hou Ting suddenly point at her seat.
"For the sake of benefits, you even killed Qiao Nuan's child, your biological grandson... do you even have the slightest sliver of conscience?!"
