Chapter 234: Xiaojun is in Critical Condition

"Bang!"

The heavy, vermilion-lacquered gate slammed shut behind them.

Xie Fenglan and her daughter Zhou Yue were unceremoniously hauled out of the gate by several bodyguards in black suits, their faces filled with shock and disbelief!

Lin Dazhi—how dared he treat them like this?

How could he dare?

Xie Fenglan turned back, pointing at the gate as she began to curse loudly.

"Lin Dazhi, you thousand-cut dog! You dare treat your mother-in-law and your wife like this? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Zhou Yue was also so angry that her eyes turned red; tears welled up in her eye sockets, nearly falling.

She looked stubbornly at the sky, like a blade of grass standing firm in a gale!

"Lin Dazhi, remember what you did today. Even if you kneel and beg me later, I will never remarry you!" Zhou Yue gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

Not far outside the gate, several villagers saw this scene and began pointing and whispering.

"Who are those two? Why were they tossed out?"

"Isn't that what's-her-name, Zhou Yue? She used to be Dazhi's wife, but then she messed around with others and divorced Dazhi, right?"

"Oh, oh, that woman is her mother, right? What were they saying just now? Wanting to remarry? They must be regretting it now."

"Needless to say? They definitely regret it. The Lin family is so wealthy now; I heard Dazhi made over ten billion!"

"My goodness, how much money is that!"

Listening to the villagers' chatter, those words pierced her heart like knives.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on with you two? What are you doing here?"

Just then, two officers walked over, and the older one asked sternly.

"We aren't doing anything." Looking at these two officers who had appeared out of nowhere, Zhou Yue said hurriedly.

"Who is this to you? Standing at someone else's gate and using insulting language to abuse them is suspected of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, you know? Go, go, go, you two come with us!"

Hearing the officer's words, Xie Fenglan immediately shrank back and didn't dare to curse anymore.

Zhou Yue hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Hello, my mother was just agitated for a moment; she didn't mean it. We know we were wrong. Uh—we'll leave right away, we're leaving right now!"

Hearing Zhou Yue's words, the expression on the officer's face softened slightly, but he still said sternly: "Leave quickly. I'm telling you, it's because they haven't pressed charges; once they do, the lightest punishment you'll get is administrative detention!"

"Why? I didn't do anything. What's wrong with saying a few words to him? That's my son-in-law!" Xie Fenglan, standing to the side, was still unrelenting, but she was quickly pulled away by Zhou Yue.

"Mom, that's enough! Aren't you embarrassed enough? Can't you tell? Those two officers were likely called by the Lin family. If you keep making a scene, something might really happen. Xiaojun is still in the hospital right now; what will he do then?" Zhou Yue whispered.

"I just can't swallow this anger! There's no way he can bully people like this! Is there no place for reason in this world?" Xie Fenglan said indignantly.

"Mom, they are dead set on not remarrying. Why are we still sticking our hot faces to their cold buttocks? It's not worth it! Just watch, whether it's Bai Weiwei, Zhang Xiaoli, or Sun Xiaomei, none of them are good people. With Lin Dazhi together with them, he'll be driven to bankruptcy sooner or later! We'll just watch from the sidelines; there will be a time when Lin Dazhi cries!" Zhou Yue said bitterly.

"Right! Lin Dazhi is so heartless, he definitely won't have a good end! Daughter, you're right. Doesn't he just have some filthy money? We don't care for it. Let's go, let's go home! Even if Lin Dazhi kneels down and begs us, we won't remarry!"

The mother and daughter, sharing the same hatred, walked away angrily.

However, they hadn't gone far when Xie Fenglan received a call from her husband, Zhou Dakui.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Dakui's panicked voice came from the other end.

"What are you two doing? Xiaojun is dying, come back quickly!"

"What? Old man, what did you say? Xiaojun was fine, how is he dying?" Upon receiving her husband's call, Xie Fenglan immediately panicked and shouted loudly.

Zhou Yue was also terrified and hurriedly told her mother to put it on speakerphone.

"I don't know either. The doctor just issued a critical condition notice. You two hurry over! Sigh, what kind of sin have I committed!" On the other end of the phone, Zhou Dakui said in grief and anger.

"Alright, alright, we're on our way back, we'll be there soon!" Xie Fenglan said, then hung up the phone in a panic.

"Xiaoyue, drive faster, drive faster!" Xie Fenglan sat in the car, urging her incessantly.

"Mom, I know, stop urging me!" Zhou Yue gripped the steering wheel, feeling distracted and annoyed by her mother's urging.

"Why are you going slower and slower? Why did you stop? Oh my, what are you doing? Didn't you hear on the phone that Xiaojun is dying?" Seeing Zhou Yue driving slower and slower until the car finally stopped on the side of the road, Xie Fenglan became extremely anxious.

"I... I don't know what's wrong, the car seems broken."

As Zhou Yue spoke, she glanced at the dashboard and realized the car was out of gas.

"Mom, the car is out of gas," Zhou Yue said with some irritation.

"What? Out of gas? At a time like this, you say the car is out of gas? What were you doing earlier? Why didn't you know to fill it up?" Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Xie Fenglan complained angrily.

"How would I know? I forgot to check when I came out this morning," Zhou Yue said.

"Then what do we do? We need to find a way to get back immediately. Hurry and call a taxi, call a taxi!" Xie Fenglan said.

"I know, stop urging me!" Zhou Yue said, taking out her phone and opening a ride-hailing app.

But she forgot that this was the countryside, and the ride-hailing app couldn't find any cars at all!

"What do we do, what do we do!" Xie Fenglan jumped around in a panic!

The next moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly said: "Call Lin Dazhi and have him take you!"

"What? Call him? I won't!" Hearing her mother's words, Zhou Yue stiffened her neck and said with a dark face.

"You stubborn child, what time is it now? Listen to Mom, call him right now. If you don't call, I will!" Xie Fenglan said, glaring.

Seeing that her mother was truly anxious, Zhou Yue had no choice but to take out her phone reluctantly and dial Lin Dazhi's number.

She had assumed that after the scene just now, Lin Dazhi would definitely not answer her call, or might even block her, but to her surprise, the phone connected after only a few rings.

"Hello, what is it?" On the other end of the line, Lin Dazhi's voice was as calm as ever.

"Dazhi, my dad just called and said Xiaojun is in critical condition. My car is out of gas and is stopped at the edge of the village. Can you drive over and take me and my mom to the hospital?" Zhou Yue said urgently.

"Wait there, I'm coming over now." Lin Dazhi said, then hung up the phone.
