CHAPTER 782: CHAPTER 782: WHAT’S THERE TO NOT UNDERSTAND?

But when Little Yi was running towards the door... that woman pushed Little Yi on the back, and then... and then Little Yi hit the door frame, and her forehead wouldn’t stop bleeding..."

Wen Yue choked with sobs, her words coming out in fits and starts, as she cried incessantly while buried in Kang Li’s embrace.

Wen Siyuan, "Why did you smash the jade pendant?"

"That was what mom left for Little Fish. Neither my second sister nor Little Fish have grown up yet. We... we couldn’t keep the jade pendant safe, so we agreed to smash it, so that woman..."

Before Wen Yue could continue crying and explaining, Xu Mei, with a rather unpleasant expression, looked straight at Wen Siyuan and interrupted, "Wen Yue smashed it, and that’s that. It was Song Ning’s jade pendant left for Wen Yu; if we don’t smash it, do you want it to end up in your Xiao Su’s hands again?"

"Sister-in-law, I... I didn’t mean that; I just wondered why Yueyue and the others would think about smashing the jade pendant," Wen Siyuan explained.

Xu Mei rolled her eyes, "What’s there to wonder about? Besides, didn’t Yueyue make it very clear? She, along with Wen Yi and Wen Yue, are still young and were afraid that they couldn’t keep their mother’s jade pendant safe. So, they shattered it to prevent your Xiao Su from stealing it again.

You didn’t see the expression on your Xiao Su’s face after she threw the jade pendant on the ground. If I were Yueyue, I would also prefer to smash the already broken pendant into pieces rather than let it fall into someone else’s hands."

Pausing briefly, Xu Mei continued, "By the way, your Xiao Su has been quite extravagant in the past month, dressing in new clothes every two or three days, and almost every day she goes out, she always comes back carrying a lot of stuff. That’s not all either,

your Xiao Su even hired a nanny to help her take care of your precious son at home. I heard she’s paying the nanny 25 yuan a month; that’s no small salary. Seems to me,

either your Xiao Su has found some lucrative business outside, or she’s spending your family’s savings. In any case, her behavior in our compound has been very ostentatious for the past month or so!"

Wen Siyuan heard all that Xu Mei had to say but didn’t respond for a long while.

It was nearly nine o’clock at this point, and glancing at the pitch-black night outside the window, Xu Mei showed a flicker of hesitation before she finally said,

"Xiao Wen, it’s getting late, do you think you should call your parents and see if they can come to the hospital to look after Wen Yi and Wen Yu? It’s fine for my family but the Kang Family still has three children. The kids need to go to school in the morning, and you can’t expect Kang Li to stay in the hospital all night, right?"

"I can wait until your family arrives before I go back."

Just then, Kang Li spoke up, shifting her gaze towards Xu Mei, "Sister-in-law Xu, if you have something urgent at home, you can go first. I can stay a little longer."

"Humph! Haven’t I already said that my family will be fine without me for a little while? But your household has three children..." Before Xu Mei could finish speaking, Wen Siyuan interrupted, "I’ll call my parents right now."

He turned and left the ward. With a deep frown, he headed to the duty room, where he contacted his parents using the landline. Then, instinctively, he dialed his home phone number, but as he was about to press the last digit, he suddenly put the receiver back on the phone cradle.

He didn’t know what to say to his wife, Su Man, once the call went through.

Running his hands through his hair, Wen Siyuan was extremely restless. He bypassed the doctor on duty and returned to the ward the way he had come.

"Yueyue, do you want to go back to the compound with Aunt Kang and Aunt Xu?"

"I want to stay and accompany Little Yi and Little Fish."

"The doctor said Wen Yi’s condition isn’t severe; you don’t need to worry too much."

"What about Little Fish? She was terrified!"
