Chapter 245 My brain is almost fried.
Chu Ci sped along, overtaking other cars, reaching the police station at a speed of 80 km/h.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Huang Xiu'e."
Police officer: "Who are you to her?"
"My daughter, my own flesh and blood." Even though she was impatient, Chu Ci still maintained an elegant and proper smile.
The police officer looked at the information his colleague had compiled and told Chu Ci,
"Ms. Huang Xiu'e is suspected of abusing the elderly, which has violated the law. Depending on the severity of the circumstances, she could face detention or imprisonment for up to two years. If the abuse results in death, she could be sentenced to imprisonment for two to seven years. You should try to persuade your mother to change her mind."
Chu Ci stood there, stunned.
Isn't Grandma the only elderly person in the family?
Grandma is sick, and Mom spoke a little loudly. How did that become abuse?
"Officer, is there some misunderstanding? My mother takes good care of my grandmother. Sometimes my grandmother talks nonsense, but my mother would never mistreat her."
Regardless of whether abuse occurred, Chu Ci tried her best to explain for her mother.
If the charge of abuse is proven, will Kinta Medical Devices lose its good reputation?
"It was your father who called the police."
The policeman's casual remark struck me like a thunderbolt.
Chu Ci's eyes widened, her incredulous gaze piercing through the glass wall and landing on Huang Xiu'e.
The father called the police, saying that the mother was abusing the grandmother. Why?
The police are still in the process of gathering information and have not yet taken Huang Xiu'e to the interrogation room.
Huang Xiue had already admitted that she had pinched Madam Chu's thigh.
The reason is that the place is secluded and not easily discovered by Chu Jinhuai.
The police took a statement and handed it to Huang Xiu'e, asking her to confirm it and sign it.
Huang Xiunü...
Before she could finish signing, Huang Xiu'e saw Chu Ci and put down her pen.
Huang Xiue curled her lips smugly; her powerful backer had arrived.
Great, she's saved.
My daughter is so smart, she'll definitely find a way to keep her from going to jail.
Huang Xiu'e immediately put on a face as if she had suffered a great injustice, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She cried out, "Xiao Ci, you've finally come! Please save Mommy! These two police officers are so scary! They're forcing me to admit that I bullied your grandma, but Mommy didn't!"
Her words angered the policeman so much that he slammed his pen on the table.
They denied it on the spot and even slandered the police. It's infuriating!
After all, Chu Ci had been working in the workplace for many years and had seen many big scenes.
The police's commotion could frighten Huang Xiu'e, but it couldn't scare Chu Ci.
With an arrogant look on her face, she said condescendingly, "Of course I won't admit to something my mother didn't do. Can I take my mother away now?"
Huang Xiu'e changed her statement at the last minute, and the police had no more evidence, so they had to release her first.
After Chu Ci signed the document, the police instructed her, "We may summon Huang Xiu'e at any time in the near future, and she is not allowed to leave Beijing."
Chu Ci gave a forced smile. "Of course, we will never admit to something we didn't do. We hope the police will investigate quickly and clear my mother's name."
With such a dignified and respectable facade, how could the police not know her ulterior motives?
The police officer remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was already cursing.
Your father called the police, and we have the evidence, but we're missing a witness. Do you think you can get away with this?
"Bring their servants over for questioning as soon as possible, and get the catalytic test results out quickly."
"Yes, Captain."
Chu Ci and Huang Xiu'e remained silent the entire way until they got into the car, at which point they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the car door closed, Chu Ci frowned and asked angrily, "What exactly happened? Why was it Dad who called the police? Did you two have a fight?"
A barrage of questions came crashing down on her, leaving Huang Xiu'e no chance to catch her breath.
Even her daughter didn't believe her, and Huang Xiu'e felt a chill run through her heart. "You've grown up, and you don't stand by your mother anymore?"
"How can I help you solve your problem if you don't tell the truth!"
Huang Xiue knew she was in the wrong and didn't want to go to jail.
Her daughter was telling the truth; only her daughter can help her now.
Huang Xiu'e had no choice but to tell the truth.
“I didn’t hit her too hard. It’s because she’s not in good health. If she had told me the safe’s combination earlier and given me some money to win back my losses, I could have beaten her! She brought this on herself.”
Chu Ci looked disapproving; her mother's actions were simply too much.
Although my grandmother never liked my mother, she treated her fairly well when she was little.
Hearing these words now, she didn't feel sorry for her grandmother.
After all, her grandmother didn't give her much money, and her grandmother's love was only expressed verbally.
Her only headache now is that she has another troublesome matter to deal with.
"Let's go home and see Grandma first, and ask Dad for forgiveness."
"The police said your grandmother is in the hospital."
"What? Isn't she someone who never goes out?" Chu Ci felt a wave of dizziness and a tightness in her chest.
“I heard it from the police. She collapsed on the road, and passersby called for an ambulance. The ambulance took her to the First People’s Hospital of Beijing. The old lady is now in the intensive care unit, unconscious. Your father is already at the hospital with her.”
A thunderbolt struck, and Chu Ci felt a loud bang, his mind going blank.
Completely finished.
No, Chu Ci denied.
My father always said that there's always a chance until the outcome is revealed.
The most urgent thing is to go to the hospital as soon as possible and see how Grandma is doing.
Dad isn't a heartless person. As long as Grandma is alright and Mom sincerely apologizes, Dad will definitely forgive her.
We need to minimize our losses, because it would be a huge loss if our mother's foolish actions affected her inheritance of Kinder.
The car moved slowly along the road, following the flow of traffic.
Chu Ci remained silent, pondering various possibilities in his mind.
Seeing her daughter staring straight ahead and gripping the steering wheel tightly, Huang Xiu'e knew that her daughter was planning something.
She reminded her, "The maid in the house is the one who usually bathes your grandmother."
The car in front stopped, and Chu Ci immediately stepped on the brakes. Luckily, she was driving slowly, otherwise she would have crashed into it.
The sudden braking startled the mother and daughter so much that they were terrified.
"Mom, how exactly are you taking care of Grandma?!"
"I..." Huang Xiu'e was still shaken and flustered.
But her greatest talent was crying. Chu Jinhuai married her because she cried beautifully and her tears softened people's hearts.
Crying is her ultimate weapon.
Hearing the reproach in her daughter's tone, she felt even more wronged and burst into tears.
"Are you going to blame me too? I've been home alone every day, taking care of her for five or six years. I'm so bored, I go out to play mahjong. How come I haven't taken good care of her?"
Crying, crying, crying again.
Feeling annoyed, Chu Ci rolled down the car window to let the wind in and get some fresh air.
All she does when she encounters problems is cry; she never thinks of a solution. How did she end up with such a mother!
"Grandma is in the hospital, how do you explain that?"
Chu Ci's mind was practically fried from thinking about the timid, stubborn servant.
Huang Xiu'e pouted, looking utterly pitiful. "I've already used up all my brain cells to give birth to you in the Chu family. How could my brain possibly know what to do?"
Chu Ci bit her lip. She was really stupid. How could she forget her mother's character?
She had no other choice but to call her husband.
"Honey, I want to eat the dishes cooked by our housekeeper. Could you go to the Chu family's house and bring her over to cook dinner?"
"Got it." The man's excited voice, audible through the surround sound system, filled the car. "Let's start the raid, charge! Charge! Charge!"
Afraid he might forget, Chu Ci called out softly, "Husband, you..."
"I remember, I was supposed to pick up the Chu family's servants to cook, and then I would set off after destroying the enemy's crystal."
Knowing her husband's temper, Chu Ci knew when to stop and didn't dare to urge him any further, so she hung up the phone directly.
This husband isn't completely useless, at least!
