The old woman did not want to admit such a result easily. She relied on her old age and shouted loudly in the room, but nothing could be changed.
When the police warned her on suspicion of obstructing official duties, she immediately shut her mouth and ran out of the ward in despair.
The police also announced that Zhao Shiyan, Li Mengyao and Shen Shurong acted bravely in the name of justice. Li Mengyao and Shen Shurong smiled at each other, and they were glad that their efforts had not been misunderstood.
As for the reason for being brave, it is all clouds. The important thing is that the physical conditions of Xiaoshuai and Shi Yan are gradually improving. This is better than anything else.
Soon, this matter was reported by a news media called "Bincheng Evening News", and other media also rushed to reprint it. For a while, Zhao Shiyan and Li Mengyao became the big celebrities during the Chinese New Year.
Some media also had a keen sense of smell. After asking about the hospital where Zhao Shiyan and the others were staying, they rushed here eagerly to learn more details about the rescue operation at that time.
However, the ward where Zhao Shiyan and the others were staying was already empty. The reporters who had rushed to the ward could only surround Qi Yun's mother, trying to get more information from her.
The old woman did not miss this opportunity. She used the reporters' microphones to cry out about Qi Yun's grievances, hoping to use the power of public opinion to turn things around and seek "justice" for her son!
But she was destined to be disappointed.
Today's era is no longer the self-media era of the past, and people's past habit of listening to the wind is long gone.
Along with this, the quality of reporters has also improved. Many reporters did not report what the old woman said after returning. After all, what she said was contrary to the officially announced facts.
However, there are still a few unknown media or people related to public accounts who reported what the old woman said in order to gain traffic, and it became so-called gossip.
Although these gossips have not appeared in mainstream media reports, there are still people commenting on this matter in the comment areas under the news panels of major media.
"That man has his old mother, and he is bedridden now. How pitiful he is!"
"I think she was too cruel. The man pulled her a few times, and she stabbed him with a knife. Such a vicious woman will definitely not be able to marry in the future!"
"Damn, the most indispensable thing is a virgin bitch like you! Why can't you get married? I just like girls like her. If you don't marry me, I will!"
"..."
Not all such arguments reached the ears of the parties concerned. That afternoon, Zhao Shiyan and the others had returned home. At this moment, Li Mengyao was standing by Zhao Shiyan's bed, gently blowing the decoction in her hand.
"Shi Yan, it's time to get up and drink medicine!"
Zhao Shiyan said "Yeah" in a daze, but turned his back to Li Mengyao, leaving the back of his head to her.
Li Mengyao chuckled, put down the bowl in her hand, and stretched out her devilish little hand.
"Ah! Mengyao! Stop, stop, stop! Who did you learn this from? You have never tickled me before!"
Zhao Shiyan sat up and complained to Li Mengyao.
Li Mengyao smiled without saying a word and brought the bowl to Zhao Shiyan's mouth. The meaning was already obvious, even if you complained, it would be useless.
"This medicine is so bitter! I usually have a fever and it will pass after I take it. Mengyao, can I not drink it?"
"No, this time is different from the past. Be obedient."
Zhao Shiyan didn't want to be obedient, but Li Mengyao's smile had a magical power, as if she couldn't allow herself to refuse, so she had no choice but to be obedient.
After Zhao Shiyan drank the decoction with a painful look on his face, Li Mengyao touched her head with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"So good!"
Zhao Shiyan couldn't help but regret a little.
Retribution! This must be God’s retribution for himself!
Normally Ling Zhi would be obedient in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would suffer the same fate in front of Mengyao. Sigh, if I had known, I would have been nicer to Ling Zhi.
Zhao Shiyan's inner drama was not conveyed to Li Mengyao. Li Mengyao was about to take the bowl to the kitchen to brush it off, when Zhao Shiyan's cell phone rang.
Seeing that Shi Yan had no intention of answering the phone, Li Mengyao looked at her phone and found that it was a voice call from Ling Zhi.
"Shi Yan, Ling Zhi called you."
Li Mengyao reminded her.
"Oh, I didn't reply to his message yesterday, please pick it up for me."
Zhao Shiyan buried his head in the quilt and continued to sleep.
Li Mengyao smiled, put down the bowl, picked up Zhao Shiyan's cell phone, and connected the call with Ling Zhi.
"Hey, Shi Yan, are you okay? I asked you why you didn't reply to my message last night. Now it's all spread on the news. You guys acted bravely yesterday, right? How is your health now? Are you feeling better?"
"Um, um, Ling Zhi, it's me. Shi Yan was a little sleepy and fell asleep after taking the medicine. I answered the call for her."
Ling Zhi was not too surprised when he heard that Li Mengyao answered the phone.
After seeing the news, he was hesitating whether to contact Shi Yan or Mengyao. However, on the first day of the new year, he had already promised his mother to keep a distance from Li Mengyao.
So after thinking about it, he decided to call Shi Yan first.
"That's it, it's okay. I've learned about the main situation on the news. I just wanted to ask Shi Yan how he feels now."
"Right now, she still has a slight fever and has been feeling sleepy, but her complexion is much better than yesterday. She will probably be fine in two days."
"That's good, oh, by the way, what about you? I heard that you put on Shi Yan's cotton-padded jacket on the ice. Are you not freezing?"
"No, no, I'm fine. Don't worry, Lingzhi!"
In fact, Li Mengyao still has a low fever, but she feels that there is no need to talk about such a trivial matter to make Ling Zhi worry, so she concealed it.
"Well, um, Mengyao, thank you. You should have been taking care of Shi Yan, right? You should also pay more attention to rest."
"I know, I will take care of myself."
After a few seconds of silence, Ling Zhi's voice came over again:
"By the way, I want to ask you something. Have you seen some comments on the Internet? It is related to what Qi Yun's mother said during the reporter's interview."
"Ah? Has that old lady been interviewed? I don't know. I haven't looked at my phone for almost the whole day."
"Oh, you haven't seen it, right? It's great that you haven't seen it. Don't read it. It's just what a bunch of mad dogs said. It will stain your eyes."
"Haha, since you said so Lingzhi, then I won't watch it."
Li Mengyao is very smart. Even if she doesn't read it, she can guess what everyone on the Internet is saying. Since Lingzhi said he won't read it, then he shouldn't read it.
"Well, Mengyao, no matter what, I want you to know one thing. No matter what happens, Shi Yan and I are on your side. This is the only thing that will never change."
"I've known about this kind of thing for a long time, Lingzhi, don't worry."
If it were before, Li Mengyao would still be flattered by Ling Zhi's concern.
Of course, she is not completely used to it yet, but at least the moment she took out the knife yesterday, she already knew that she would not be alone.
"Well, actually I know you two quite well. You two always force yourself. I think, if possible, I would like to go to Qi City to see you in person."
"No, no, no, no, Lexus, you don't have to come over! You don't have many days during your vacation, so you can't waste any more time on the road!"
"Really no need?"
"No need really!"
"Okay, I understand, then I won't disturb you any more. You should pay more attention to rest. Shi Yan... I'll leave it to you."
Ling Zhi was certainly not a fool. In such a cold weather, if he took off his cotton-padded jacket and exposed himself to the cold wind for several minutes, it was impossible for Li Mengyao's delicate body to be fine.
But there was nothing Ling Zhi could do. The girl also had her own stubbornness. Besides, Aunt Wei Hong was here, and she should take good care of the girls. Ling Zhi could rest assured about this.
He originally wanted to talk to Li Mengyao about the knife she carried with her, but he felt like he couldn't explain it clearly on the phone, so he might as well ask Shi Yan to tell Mengyao in person.
On the other side, after Li Mengyao put down the phone, Wei Hong walked into the room.
Wei Hong sat beside the bed, gently touched Zhao Shiyan's forehead and found that it was no longer so hot. Then she stood up and motioned for Li Mengyao to follow her out of the room.
"Mengyao, I have been busy these past two days. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet."
Wei Hong pulled Li Mengyao to sit on the sofa and said solemnly.
Li Mengyao waved her hands quickly:
"No, Auntie, Shi Yan is my good friend. It's my duty to help her and take care of her."
Wei Hong smiled and shook her head. She did not respond to Li Mengyao's words. Instead, she looked like she was recalling:
"Xiaoyan, this kid, has always caused me trouble since he was a child. He makes the family go crazy every time, and it almost makes me mad to death!"
"Later, she went to college and was admitted to graduate school, and the times she came home became less and less. Don't tell me, without her making trouble at home, my heart felt empty."
"I knew that this child was bullied when she was in college, and her father and I couldn't help her here. But in the past six months, she called me more and more times, and I knew that this child had changed.
Already."
"I think it must be because she met Ling Zhi and met you."
Speaking of this, Wei Hong's voice was already choked with sobs.
"But yesterday, Xiaoyan encountered something like that. I'm really glad that you were by her side at that time."
"It took a lot of effort for this child to return to her former lively and cheerful self. She still has a long way to go in the future. I really don't dare to think about what would have happened to her if you weren't with her at that time? Really! I really
Don’t dare to think about it!”
Speaking of this, Wei Hong burst into tears.
Li Mengyao handed Wei Hong a tissue, and at the same time, she was shocked beyond measure.
She didn't expect that Wei Hong, who was usually very harsh on Zhao Shiyan, would care so much about Zhao Shiyan, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt it was natural.
Who's mother doesn't care about her children? Of course, except her own.
Li Mengyao's mood was a little complicated. She held Wei Hong's hands tightly, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
Wei Hong seemed to feel Li Mengyao's mood. She wiped her tears and said softly:
"Mengyao, you are the great benefactor of our family. I have already discussed it with the child's father. If you don't mind it, you can come to our house with Xiaoyan to celebrate the New Year every year from now on."
"From now on, you and Xiaoyan are indistinguishable from each other. They are both my dearest and dearest daughters."
Wei Hong's emotional words lingered in the room. No one witnessed all this, but it seemed that there was no need for outsiders to witness it.
At this time, Li Mengyao was already crying. She lay in Wei Hong's arms and was speechless for a long time.
