“No need to pretend. Let me tell you, that’s impossible!”
Su Yingxue took two steps back and waved her hand, signaling to Manager Qi, “Manager Qi, please ask Madam Wu to leave!”
Manager Qi complied and approached, but Madam Wu retorted, “Miss Su, are you trying to chase people away just because you don’t agree? Does this clinic usually exhibit such domineering and bullying behavior, mistreating the weak?”
Su Yingxue let out a cold laugh, “Madam Wu, I won’t hand over Sister Jinyan to you. If you enjoy the scent of herbs in my clinic, be my guest.”
Madam Wu was left downstairs by Su Yingxue. She neither left nor became angry, and she sat in the clinic’s lobby with Wu Ruofei.
People came and went, and they couldn’t help but cast a few glances at them. These glances quickly turned into discussions.
As the discussions continued, the news of this incident began to spread.
Some bored individuals, after finishing their treatment, lingered around, waiting to witness the outcome of this spectacle.
Wu Ruofei had never been subjected to such scrutiny by so many people before. She was both annoyed and flustered throughout the afternoon, her small face turning red. She tugged at her mother’s hand, acting spoiled, “Mother, let’s go home! This clinic smells awful! The people here are so dirty. I don’t want to stay here!”
“Endure a little longer!” Madam Wu maintained her composure. She embraced Wu Ruofei and lowered her voice, “Su Yingxue isn’t someone easy to deal with. She even caused your father to be imprisoned in the Capital Prefecture. If we can’t bring Sister Jinyan back and use it as leverage against her, we’ll be at her mercy.”
“But this place is dirty and smelly. It hurts… Mother!” Wu Ruofei persisted, displaying the temperament of a child denied a candy.
She couldn’t care less about what her mother said about the consequences. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible!
“If you still want to torment Wu Jinyan, listen to your mother!” Madam Wu seized Wu Ruofei’s painful spot.
It was Wu Jinyan who caused her to have her limbs broken by Su Yingxue. She couldn’t harm Su Yingxue, but she longed to break every bone in Wu Jinyan’s body!
To retrieve Wu Jinyan, she clenched her teeth and endured for a long time.
The mother and daughter sat in the clinic’s lobby until dusk.
In Su Yingxue’s consultation room, Manager Qi approached to report, “Madam Wu has no intention of leaving yet, Miss. Although we didn’t have many patients today, there are quite a few spectators. This may have an impact on the clinic’s reputation.”
Su Yingxue finished writing the last prescription and furrowed her brow.
Madam Wu was proving difficult to deal with.
She couldn’t allow Wu Jinyan to intervene, as it would make her seem weak in terms of reason.
She said, “Let them wait. When the clinic closes, ask them to leave. If they refuse, have someone stay behind to keep watch and ensure nothing untoward happens.”
Madam Wu waited the entire day, but Su Yingxue remained unyielding. In the evening, Wu Ruofei had to return home to change her bandages and take her medicine before they left together.
After Wu Ruofei finished drinking her medicine, she lay on the bed, wiping away her tears in frustration. “Mother, didn’t you promise that we would bring Wu Jinyan back and make Su Yingxue anxious?”
Now, Su Yingxue showed no signs of urgency, and Wu Jinyan had not been retrieved. Wu Ruofei was both angry and in pain, unable to sleep soundly at night.
Madam Wu patted her shoulder, trying to console her. “Don’t worry. Su Yingxue is just a woman. Even if she can harm your father, she has no reason to harm us now. She’s protecting Wu Jinyan because she has her concerns. She’s also handling a tricky question!”
A hint of maliciousness flashed in Madam Wu’s eyes.. She had ways to make Su Yingxue anxious!
