Chapter 209: Yuanyuan Gets Injured

~7 min read 1,357 words

Qin Ping'an looked at Cheng Wan and cried even harder.

"I didn't mean to."

When he was in the hallway, Yuanyuan wanted him to carry him, so he did.

When they reached the stairs, he put Yuanyuan down, preparing to hold Yuanyuan's hand to go downstairs.

But for some reason, his foot slipped, he fell, and Yuanyuan tumbled down the stairs.

The little child, encountering such a thing for the first time, was terrified.

"It's okay."

Cheng Wan hugged him, "Mom believes you."

Qin Ping'an threw himself into her arms, crying with restraint.

The hospital room door was yanked open violently; Qin Yun Shu's eyes were red and swollen, her gaze wishing she could skin Qin Ping'an alive.

"Crying, crying, crying, what face do you have to cry? You harmed my Yuanyuan to this state, why don't you just go die."

"Qin Yun Shu, I apologize on Ping'an's behalf for this matter." Cheng Wan shielded Qin Ping'an behind her, "I will also take full responsibility for the aftermath."

Regardless of how this matter actually happened, since it involved Qin Ping'an, Cheng Wan would not ignore it.

"My Yuanyuan is injured to that extent, how are you going to take responsibility?" Qin Yun Shu was covered in tears, crying so hard she could barely speak, "My poor child, how could he encounter someone with such a vicious heart like you."

Qin Ping'an's face turned pale; the four words "vicious heart" were truly too severe for him.

"Auntie Qin, I really didn't mean to, my foot slipped, and I fell."

He liked Yuanyuan very much, but Yuanyuan was injured because of him.

He fell and was covered in blood.

He was terrified, his body unable to stop trembling.

"Shut up." Qin Yun Shu clenched her fingers; if not for so many people being here, she absolutely would not have been polite to Qin Ping'an.

"Qin Ping'an, if anything happens to my son, I will absolutely not let you off."

"Let's call the police, Mom." Qin Ping'an suddenly tugged at Cheng Wan's hand, his small voice full of determination, "I did something wrong, so I should take responsibility."

In his understanding, if you do something wrong, you have to be taken away by the police officers.

He would take responsibility for what he had done.

"Ping'an, do you know what you are saying?" Cheng Wan squatted down, looked Qin Ping'an in the eye, and asked him very seriously.

Qin Ping'an was a little scared, but he still nodded bravely.

"I know."

Cheng Wan respected the child's decision, and besides, she also believed that Qin Ping'an did not do it on purpose.

"We will call the police."

"Wanwan, you can't call the police, you will ruin the child's life." The Third Madam was the first to object.

She cherished Qin Ping'an like the apple of her eye; with this kind of thing happening, in her mind, one should offer compensation, but one must never call the police.

"I'm not afraid," Qin Ping'an said loudly.

"No, Cheng Wan," the Third Madam said anxiously, "The child doesn't know any better, you can't be ignorant too. Do you know how much of an impact this will have on Ping'an if people find out?"

"That's right, Cheng Wan, the child is still young, you can't call the police." Cheng Huayu also advised.

Cheng Han asked Qin Ping'an, "Ping'an, you are already six years old and can make your own decisions. If you are taken away by the police officers and can't see your mom anymore, are you willing?"

Qin Ping'an's tears flowed freely, "I am willing."

He wanted to take responsibility for what he had done.

It was just that simple of a principle.

Cheng Han nodded, "Alright, then let's call the police."

"Cheng Han."

"Cheng Han, you're crazy."

Cheng Wan held Qin Ping'an's hand and stroked his hair, "Ping'an, Mom will always be by your side."

Qin Yun Shu stood by the door, sneering, "Stop with the hypocrisy."

That was Qin Xingwan's child, the person Cheng Wan valued most; how could she let him face police accountability at such a young age?

It was nothing more than acting in front of her.

"Qin Yun Shu, whether it's fake or not, you will know very soon." Cheng Wan took out her phone, preparing to call the police.

Qin Yun Shu's expression changed slightly, her fingers gripping the doorknob tightly.

"Fine, aren't you just forcing me to forgive him?" Qin Yun Shu said, feeling aggrieved and resentful, "Considering that Yuanyuan isn't injured too severely this time, I'll forgive him. Get out, right now."

She slammed the door and went inside.

Cheng Huayu and his wife let out a sigh of relief, "That's great, Yun Shu isn't holding it against him anymore. Ping'an, you're fine now."

Qin Ping'an looked at Cheng Wan.

He listened to his mom.

Cheng Wan didn't say anything and took him away.

Once in the car, Cheng Wan finally said, "Ping'an, when you were at the top of the stairs, did your shoe slip?"

Qin Ping'an thought about it very seriously, "Yes."

He was young, but his memory was very good.

"I put Yuanyuan down at the time, preparing to hold his hand to go down, but then my foot slipped."

He knew he didn't have much strength, and carrying Yuanyuan down the stairs was too dangerous.

So he put Yuanyuan down.

"Foot slipped." A coldness appeared in Cheng Wan's eyes.

She never believed Qin Yun Shu's words.

In other words, with Qin Yun Shu around, many things would not be coincidental.

"Ping'an, Mom still wants to take you to the Police Station," Cheng Wan explained softly, "It's not to punish you, but because Mom believes you didn't bully Yuanyuan on purpose. Let's let the police officer help us, okay?"

Qin Ping'an nodded, "Okay."

Cheng Wan explained the whole story at the Police Station.

She also stated her purpose for coming, which was to seek the truth for Qin Ping'an.

Otherwise, given Qin Ping'an's personality, he would remember this incident for his entire life and feel guilty forever.

The police began their investigation.

Cheng Wan took Qin Ping'an to the Old Residence.

Qin Ping'an kept holding An'an's hand the whole time; no matter how one looked at it, it was clear he was constantly watching over An'an and protecting An'an.

How could a child like this accidentally cause Yuanyuan to get hurt?

After entering the house, Cheng Wan asked the housekeeper, "Who was responsible for cleaning today?"

The housekeeper called over a servant.

Cheng Wan asked a few questions before saying, "Since the cleaning was done at five in the morning, why wasn't the area at the top of the stairs cleaned properly?"

The servant was very panicked, "I really did clean it thoroughly."

Cheng Wan went to the location of the stairs, and Qin Ping'an walked a few steps there; it was obvious that it was no longer slippery.

"How strange," Qin Ping'an didn't understand.

Cheng Wan asked Ping'an to change his shoes; she took Ping'an's shoes in her hands, went to the bathroom, and got some water on the soles, which immediately became somewhat slippery.

After the incident, Qin Ping'an hadn't changed his shoes, but the places he walked were dry, and there was dust on the floor, so the shoes weren't slippery.

But once they touched water, they were still somewhat slippery.

Anger surged in Cheng Wan's heart.

It was very obvious that this was a man-made accident.

Was it Qin Yun Shu?

But Yuanyuan was her child.

Cheng Wan didn't want to think about it anymore; she told the police what she had discovered, and as for the results of the police investigation, she didn't want to care anymore.

She took Qin Ping'an and Cheng An'an back.

A few hours later, Cheng Han called.

"I'm sorry," his voice was full of exhaustion.

Cheng Wan guessed it, "Qin Yun Shu... that is her son."

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs, yet Qin Yun Shu had harmed Yuanyuan.

"I have already sent people to handle it."

Cheng Han finally had the reason and determination to get a divorce.
