Inside the hospital room were not only Zhang Wenchang's family, but also Xiahou Xiaoxu, his parents, and his Older Sister.
While Zhang Wenchang's mother and wife rolled around and made a scene, the Xiahou family said nothing, merely watching quietly from the side.
So when Xiahou Xiaoxu suddenly spoke up, the atmosphere in the ward immediately took a drastic turn.
Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang turned around, both somewhat relieved.
All those years of ideological education at the First Branch Factory had not been in vain after all.
But before Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang could speak, Zhang Wenchang's mother and wife suddenly rushed to the forefront.
"What did you say? What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm telling you, Xiahou, our family's affairs are none of your business."
"Which eye of yours saw that our Xiaochang was stabbed? Your left eye or your right?"
"..."
Seeing Zhang's mother and Ruan Mingli practically ready to swallow Xiahou Xiaoxu whole, Li Ye could not help wanting to grab both women by the hair.
His explosive temper was truly about to break loose.
But before Li Ye could make a move, someone else did it for him.
Xiahou Xiaoxu's Older Sister and mother rose directly to their feet, each shoving one of the Zhang family's mother-and-daughter-in-law pair away.
Xiahou Xiaoxu's mother said coldly, "Stay away from our Xiaoxu! Don't blame me for not warning you—what people do, heaven sees. When people lose their conscience, they'd better watch out for retribution."
Xiahou Xiaoxu's Older Sister was even more sarcastic. "After what your family did, you still have the nerve to come after my brother? Don't mistake a little courtesy for an invitation to push your luck. If you dare poke my Xiaoxu with even one finger, I'll snap your claws right off!"
