Chapter 163 An old person should act like an old person.
Outside the hospital.
Gao Hui pointed at Xu Hemei, baring her teeth like a rampaging Chihuahua, "You little ingrate! You dare say I have dementia? I'll kill you!"
Xu Hemei gripped her cane, the pain in both arms growing more intense. Facing Gao Hui's accusations, she remained indifferent, saying, "Grandma, I know you came for Dad, for the money."
Even when he needed her help, Gao Hui still acted superior and berated him, saying, "What do you need so much money for, you woman! I'm telling you, hurry up and hand over the money!"
Xu Hemei was so angry that she retorted, "What if I don't give it to you?"
Gao Huiwei narrowed her eyes, her expression revealing a fierce determination. "If you don't give it to me, I'll beat you to death."
Xu Hemei chuckled lightly, her eyes as cold as ice, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "Grandma, an old person should act like an old person. I can let it go if you hit me in public and embarrass me today, but if you come to the hospital to cause trouble again and make things difficult for me, don't blame me for writing you a prescription for mental illness and sending you to a mental hospital to be locked up."
As she spoke, she stared coldly at Gao Hui, who trembled in fear but remained defiant. "You dare? I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
Xu Hemei crossed her arms and said with a smile, "What do I have to be afraid of? If you want to call the police, then call the police. Do you think the police trust me, a medical master's degree holder, or you, an old lady who hits people at the drop of a hat?"
Her smile frightened Gao Hui, who staggered back two steps, almost falling. Xu Hemei instinctively reached out to support her.
This action triggered a reaction in her, and she screamed, "Let me go! Let me go!"
Xu Hemei released her, and seeing that her momentum had weakened and she dared not throw a tantrum anymore, she handed over the cane in her hand, saying, "Here you go."
Gao Hui glanced at her, quickly took the cane, and didn't dare to utter a word.
Xu Hemei smiled contentedly and said in a gentle tone, "Grandma, go back the way you came, and be careful when crossing the road."
After saying that, she clapped her hands, turned around and walked into the hospital lobby with a flourish, and instantly, the smile on her face disappeared.
She felt terrible. She no longer expected her grandmother to treat her like other grandmothers, but she never thought her grandmother could be so wicked as to embarrass her in public.
Luckily, I was quick-witted just now; otherwise, if I had gotten angry and lost my temper with the old lady, I would probably be writing a report right now.
On her way back to the office, she sent Xu Hui a text message: [Grandma came to the hospital to see me just now, and even hit me twice in public with a stick. Did you send her?]
Xu Hui: [I don't know.]
Xu Hemei: [Dad, I'll say it again: unless you stop and sell the factory, I won't give you money for nothing. Calling anyone won't help.]
Without waiting for Xu Hui's reply, she put away her phone and went into her office.
Hearing the sound, her colleagues all turned to look at her.
A colleague I get along with well came over and asked, "Hey, Xu, did your grandma hit you just now?"
Xu Hemei forced a not-so-good smile and said politely, "Oh, right, the old man had a relapse of Alzheimer's and came to the hospital to find me. I coaxed him back home."
My colleague clicked his tongue twice. "Does it hurt? Where's your nanny? It's really unsafe for your grandma to be running around like this when she's sick."
Xu Hemei's lips twitched. "My family doesn't have a nanny."
My colleague seemed a little surprised. "Oh? What will you do without a nanny?"
Xu Hemei smiled and said, "What can we do? If we can live, we can live; if we can't, then so be it. Life and death are in the hands of fate." As she spoke, she picked up her water glass and stood up. "I'm thirsty. I'm going to get some water."
A colleague silently stepped aside, "Oh..."
Immediately, the office colleagues looked at each other in bewilderment, then dispersed and went about their own business.
Xu Hemei left the office, placed her water cup on top of the hot water dispenser, turned around and went to the restroom. After closing the door and taking off her clothes, she could clearly see the blue and purple marks from sticks on both arms.
This is like taking all your resentment out on yourself.
I felt inexplicably wronged. Why are other people's grandmothers so kind, but mine? I've disliked her since I was a child.
She sniffed, held back her tears of grievance, sighed deeply, put on her clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Gao Hui, having failed to get an explanation from Xu Hemei and even being threatened, was so angry that her hair was practically standing on end. She immediately went to He Qiaoyun's supermarket to complain.
Just then, He Qiaoyun finished transferring money at the bank today. Seeing that the students were about to get out of school at noon, she thought of going to the supermarket to help out. Unexpectedly, she ran into Gao Hui, who was baring her teeth and about to bite.
Gao Hui was furious. Leaning on her cane, she pounded on the glass door and yelled, "He Qiaoyun, this is the ungrateful wretch you raised! What a disgrace to the family! You should have killed her back then!"
He Qiaoyun was baffled by the scolding. "Gao Hui, are you senile? What nonsense are you talking about! Also, don't knock on my glass door, you'll have to pay for it if you break it."
Gao Hui persisted in banging on the door, accusing her as she did so: "Your precious daughter, oh my, she's so arrogant, so vicious, saying she'd write a diagnosis and send me to a mental hospital! Such a little bitch, such an ingrate, and you still love her..."
He Qiaoyun couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Gao Hui, shut up."
This made Gao Hui even angrier, and she sowed discord by saying, "Why can't I say it? Is she even human? I'm her own grandmother! If she can treat me like this, who knows how she'll treat you in the future!"
He Qiaoyun wouldn't listen to anything else, only picking up on one piece of information, and coldly questioned, "You went to the hospital to see her? What are you so bored about?"
Gao Hui was being unreasonable. "What's wrong with me going to see her?"
While taking out her phone to make a call, He Qiaoyun glared at Gao Hui and said, "Let me tell you, if you cause her to lose her job, she won't even need to send you to a mental hospital; I'll be the first to send you there."
Gao Hui felt a chill run down her spine at the mention of a mental hospital. "You dare!"
"You try it and see if I dare."
No one answered the phone, so He Qiaoyun sent a text message: [Did Grandma go to the hospital to look for you just now?]
Gao Hui got a little anxious and tried to grab her phone, "What are you sending!"
He Qiaoyun dodged away, put away her phone, and questioned, "Gao Hui, what are you doing at the hospital looking for my daughter?"
Gao Hui's eyes darted away. "What are you doing? Who went looking for her? I'm going to buy medicine!"
He Qiaoyun snorted coldly, "You better be. If I find out you've gone to cause trouble for her, you'll just have to wait."
Gao Hui was frightened twice in one day. She originally came to sow discord, but she didn't expect He Qiaoyun to stand firmly on the side of the ungrateful wretch. She was furious!
As the two were locked in a stalemate, the school bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
He Qiaoyun looked up at her indifferently, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave, don't disturb my business."
Gao Hui's attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly. She tapped her cane twice, looked up to the sky, and cried out, "What a misfortune for my family! What a misfortune for my family..."
He Qiaoyun interrupted, "Shut up, are you wailing? That's really bad luck."
Gao Hui turned around and glared at her before walking away unsteadily.
