Chapter 97 The Neighbor's Telegram
When Zhao Xiaoya heard that Song Qiao was going to send the child to a juvenile detention center, she became anxious: "Didn't you say that if President Jiang donated blood, you wouldn't send the child to a juvenile detention center? How can you go back on your word?"
Hearing Zhao Xiaoya's flustered expression, Song Qiao looked at her incredulously: "I can send my daughter wherever I want, Zhao Xiaoya! Don't you know your place?"
Song Qiao deliberately said this in front of Zhao Xiaoya to see her reaction.
"Chairman Song...no, I..."
Zhao Xiaoya glanced at the operating room door and said, "A person should keep their word. You just said it, and everyone here heard it. If you've forgotten, you can ask Teacher Zhang or this child's mother."
In a moment of desperation, Zhao Xiaoya went to Teacher Zhang and Tong Yao's mother and asked them to be witnesses.
Teacher Zhang looked at Zhao Xiaoya with a puzzled expression: "Who are you to the child? How other mothers discipline their children is none of your business."
Tong Yao's mother also looked at Zhao Xiaoya and said, "Her mother is right to do this. Disciplining the child is for her own good. If Jiang Xiaoran is not disciplined soon, it will be too late."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya looked at Tong Yao's mother angrily and said, "You stinking garbage collector, your daughter deserves to be taught a lesson. I heard from the child's grandmother that if your daughter hadn't fought back this time, she wouldn't have been beaten. It's all because she fought back that she was beaten."
Upon hearing Zhao Xiaoya's words, Song Qiao stepped forward and slapped her: "What are you saying? Why shouldn't the child fight back when she's being hit?"
Seeing Zhao Xiaoya covering her slapped face, Song Qiao still wouldn't let her off the hook: "I'm just wondering, what's it to you if I discipline my daughter? Could it be...?"
"Chairman Zhao, I just want to remind you that she is your own daughter. You can't side with outsiders. I'm your secretary, and I have to stand on your side."
Hearing Zhao Xiaoya's words, Song Qiao had no reason to lecture her anymore. Looking at her, she said, "Since you don't mean anything by it, what are you still standing here for? Go back to the company!"
She originally wanted to wait until Jiang Ming came out and tell him Song Qiao's decision before leaving, but now that Song Qiao was telling her to leave, she could only look at the operating room door and leave.
As Zhao Xiaoya walked out of the hospital building, she became increasingly worried. Song Qiao sent Jiang Xiaoran to the correctional facility.
I heard that if you don't obey the instructions, the instructors will beat you, make you stand as punishment, and not let you eat. Isn't Jiang Xiaoran just the type to be bullied? That's her daughter, after all.
She decided to take Jiang Xiaoran away.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, Zhao Xiaoya got out of the taxi and entered the building.
Upon arriving at the door, Zhao Xiaoya knocked.
Zhang Dalan, who was at home at the time, was too frightened to open the door when she heard the knocking, fearing that the police would come and arrest her.
"Ranran, open the door!"
When Zhang Dalan heard that it was Zhao Xiaoya, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Xiaoran in the room, "Your mother is here, hurry up and open the door!"
When Jiang Xiaoran heard her grandmother say that her mother had come, she knew that Zhao Xiaoya had come, because when Song Qiao came back, her grandmother would say: "That woman is back."
Jiang Xiaoran ran to the door, opened it, and threw herself into Zhao Xiaoya's arms: "Mom! I'm scared. Grandma said that woman is going to take me to the police station and kill me."
Jiang Xiaoran likes to exaggerate, which is something Zhang Dalan taught her.
In the past, whenever Song Qiao disciplined her, Jiang Ming would come back and say that he had hit her, and she would feel extremely wronged.
Zhao Xiaoya looked down at her daughter and quickly took her hand, leading her into the room: "Hurry up and get ready, come with Mom. If Song Qiao comes back, she'll really send you to the juvenile detention center."
Zhao Xiaoya also learned that the correctional facility was built on a mountain, several hundred kilometers away from Jiangcheng. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the walls were very high and the gate was locked. The children inside were either addicted to the internet or violent teenagers whose parents couldn't control them.
The government built this place to save troubled children under the age of eighteen, and Jiang Xiaoran was probably the youngest among them.
When Zhang Dalan saw Zhao Xiaoya about to take Jiang Xiaoran away, she was terrified, thinking that Tong Yao was dead.
"Xiaoya, where are you taking Ranran? Take me with you too."
Zhao Xiaoya looked at Zhang Dalan, walked over and said, "Mom! Do you love Ranran very much?"
"Of course I love her, she's my granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya quickly said, "Since you love Ranran, you should take responsibility for your granddaughter's actions this time. If the child's parents come looking for you, just say that you pushed the child down."
After saying this, Zhao Xiaoya immediately added, "The truth is that the child you pushed down had nothing to do with Ranran. I took Ranran away to hide from two people. Just now, Song Qiao got really angry and wanted to send her to the juvenile detention center. Mom! You don't know, the juvenile detention center is not a place for humans. It's even more terrifying than prison!"
When Zhang Dalan heard that Song Qiao was going to take Jiang Xiaoran to the detention center, she was no longer afraid: "That bitch is going to take Ranran to the detention center? If she dares to take Ranran there, I'll beat her to death."
Zhang Dalan was certain in her heart that Song Qiao was still the same person she could manipulate at will.
"Mom! I think we should let Ranran come stay with me for a couple of days, and then we can talk about it after this matter has calmed down."
Now that things had come to this, Zhang Dalan couldn't stop Zhao Xiaoya from taking the child away, but would she be arrested by the police if she stayed? "Xiaoya, take me with you. If I go, I can help you with laundry, cooking, and taking care of Ranran!"
Zhao Xiaoya glanced at Zhang Dalan. She had never treated her as her mother-in-law. The reason she had been nice to her in the past was to make her go against Song Qiao. The Moon Palace was such a nice house; this old woman would only make it dirty.
"Mom! It was Jiang Ming who told me not to take you. Just stay home and wait for your son to come back."
Watching Zhao Xiaoya leave home with Jiang Xiaoran, Zhang Dalan chased after them to the door and called out, "Ranran, listen to your mother, don't cause any more trouble."
Liu Yan, who was on the second floor, returned and heard Zhang Dalan's voice. Thinking it was Song Qiao, she stood at the door waiting. Just as she was about to call out "Xiao Song," she realized that it was Zhao Xiaoya who was leading Jiang Xiaoran downstairs.
"Did Song Qiao and Jiang Ming get divorced, and Zhao Xiaoya moved in with them?"
Liu Yan watched the two go downstairs, blocked the stairs, and asked, "Secretary Zhao, are you a stepmother now?"
Zhao Xiaoya stared blankly at Liu Yan and asked, "What stepmother? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I clearly heard the child's grandmother telling the child to listen to her mother, wasn't she talking about you?"
After cursing Zhang Dalan as a "dead old woman" in her heart, Zhao Xiaoya said, "You misheard me, I said Aunt Zhao, not Mom!"
After saying this, Zhao Xiaoya led Jiang Xiaoran past Liu Yan.
Liu Yan thought about it. The voice was very loud just now, and it was clearly the mother who was being addressed. Besides, where was Zhao Xiaoya taking the child?
After thinking about this, Liu Yan took out her phone and dialed Song Qiao's number.
At this time, Song Qiao was still in the hospital. Teacher Zhang had left because of something at school, so only she and Tong Yao's mother were at the door.
She was just about to ask Tong Yao's mother why the child's blood type was different from theirs when her phone rang. She took it out, saw it was Liu Yan calling, and quickly answered.
"Hey! Sister-in-law."
"Song Qiao, I just encountered something strange."
Song Qiao glanced at Tong Yao's mother, then took her phone and went to the side to answer: "What is it?"
