Chapter 521: Lu Yi Got Slapped As he leaned on the wall behind him, he remembered that Yan Huan should have arrived at her destination by now. He pulled out his phone, seeing that there was indeed a new message that he had not replied to yet. Immediately, he called Yan Huan’s number. Right as the call was picked up, a hand came out of nowhere and snatched the phone from his hand, hurling it onto the floor with a loud smash. As Lu Yi raised his head, he was met with a vicious slap to his face.

As for his phone, it was lying on the ground, cracked and most likely unusable.

He pressed his lips together tightly as his eyes fell on the middle aged couple in front of him. The lady looked very similar to Fang Zhu. They had the same style of dres, their heads had the same shape, and they even had the same hairstyle, combed neatly and not a hair out of place. The sudden commotion had given quite a shock to the doctors and nurses milling around the hospital..

“What are you doing?” A nurse hurried over immediately. “This is a hospital. If you want to fight, please head outside.”

“By the way...” The nurse turned to Lu Yi. “Are the family members of Fang Zhu here yet? They have to sign the permission form for the surgery to continue.”

“I am Fang Zhu’s father,” Mr. Fang said as he went over to the nurse. However, as he did so, he turned to glare viciously at Lu Yi, clearly conveying that they still have a bone to pick, this matter was far from over.

At the same time, Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin had finally arrived. The first thing they saw was Mrs. Fang, who was standing in front of Lu Yi, as well as the flaming red palm print on Lu Yi’s face.

“Lu Yi,” Ye Shuyun called as she ran over to him upon seeing that someone had laid a hand on him.

“What happened? Who hit you?” She turned and shielded her son with her own body. “Was it you who slapped my son?”

Madam Fang sneered, but her body was shivering. It was not because of the cold, but rather due to fear and anger.

“Yes,” she admitted, grinding her teeth, “I slapped your son. Back then, I did not hold it against him for abandoning my daughter. But now, he involved my daughter in a car accident. If anything happens to her, I would never forgive your whole family.”

Ye Shuyun was furious after hearing that. She had seen unreasonable people before, but never had she seen someone so unreasonable. She had also seen shameless people before, but this was the first time she laid eyes on someone that shameless.

She rolled up her sleeves and snapped, “Madam Fang, it’s a shame that you consider yourself an intellectual. Did all of your knowledge and common sense go down the drain? Who abandoned your daughter? Your daughter and my son were only in a relationship, and it was your daughter who initiated the breakup! You know your own daughter, how could someone as bossy as her allow herself to be dumped? As for the accident...” she laughed scornfully, “Madam Fang, can you grow some brains? Has my son ever said that he was the one who hit your daughter? Your daughter was clearly hit by another car, and my son saved her. But now, you’re acting like a mad dog that is refusing to relinquish its teeth on my son. Does this seem logical to you?”

“Let’s ask everyone else,” snarled Ye Shuyun. She was not afraid of exaggerating the situation. “If extending a helping hand would land you in trouble, who else would dare to be a good Samaritan in the future?”

A nurse was rushing over as she had heard that Fang Zhu’s family members were making a scene. She was wondering what was happening, shouldn’t they be grateful towards their daughter’s savior? However, when she arrived, she just managed to catch what Ye Shuyun said. Contempt welled up in her heart.

How is it possible for this kind of person to exist?

“Hello, madam,” she spoke to Mrs. Fang with an unpleasant tone.

“Are you trying to cause trouble? You can’t just tear into anyone who happened to be here for you to sink your claws into. I was one of the nurses on the ambulance, and I can verify that it was this gentleman called the ambulance. Back then, your daughter was hit by someone else’s car, and the perp escaped. Despite that, you don’t need to worry because this accident will be handled by the police, and they will help you arrest the driver who escaped. The medical fees will also be paid by that irresponsible driver. So, please stop accusing innocent people of things that they didn’t do. After all, there are enough bad people around to wreak havoc on our society. You don’t seem like an uncultured person, but why is it that you’re so unreasonable?”

Ye Shuyun snorted. “What is true will remain the truth. If he didn’t do it, then indeed he didn’t do it. The truth is not determined by the nonsense you spew.”

“Now, I’m really relieved that your daughter dumped my son. If he really was to marry your daughter, we from the Lu Family can never tolerate such an unreasonable mother-in-law like you. After all, we did not do anything wrong to be as unreasonable as you are.”

Lu Yi picked up his phone on the ground. Upon inspecting the damage, he decided that he would have to buy a new one tomorrow. After retrieving his sim card, he then threw the cracked phone into the trash can next to him.

“Let’s go, my son.”

Ye Shuyun turned around without visiting Fang Zhu. No wonder that girl has such a personality! A perfectly nice person that was crippled by the upbringing of her own parents. She was really starting to appreciate Yan Huan even more.

See, Yan Huan was so nice and well-behaved, and had the integrity to withstand any hardship. This was a true daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. As for Fang Zhu, forget about it, she would never be accepted as one of them.

As for Lu Yi, he did not insist that Mrs. Fang pay compensation for his phone, as he could afford it himself. Mrs. Fang herself was currently hanging her head in embarrassment, and did not have the pride to argue with anyone anymore.

Lu Yi could forgive Mrs. Fang’s unreasonableness because she was worried about Fang Zhu, but he would not be remaining there anymore.

He walked towards Lu Jin. Although he just got slapped, and his phone was smashed, he was still a gentleman. A real gentleman was not merely determined by his educational background or how literate he was. It was also determined by his maturity while handling different situations, and if he was observant enough to make the best decision. Of course, that included mistakes like this that should not happen.

“Dad, did you bring your phone?” Lu Yi asked Lu Jin.

Lu Jin passed his phone to Lu Yi, and patted his son’s shoulder in pride.

Well done, this was how the Lu Family should behave. Despite circumstances like this, Lu Yi never raised a hand against Mrs. Fang, which was considered very civilised of him. Of course, being angry at certain people was certainly not worth the heartache.

Lu Yi accepted Lu Jin’s phone and dialled a series of numbers.

“Huanhuan, it’s me.”

Yan Huan was currently hugging her blanket. Her voice sounded hoarse, as if she had just cried.

“I’m alright, it’s just my phone that was destroyed.”

Yan Huan sniffled then replied, “Okay then, I’m going to sleep now. You should go to sleep soon too.” She hung up as soon she was done speaking. She definitely would not tell him that she was so worried that something bad had happened to him that she had almost headed back without even packing her luggage.

Lu Yi return Lu Jin his phone. He glanced at the time, it was around ten o’clock.

He was not sure if they were still selling phones outside.

As he exited the hospital, he could feel that his face was still stinging from the slap. He reached up to touch his cheek, thinking that the smack was really uncalled for. However, even if he knew that he would get slapped for doing the same thing, he would still make the same choice.
