Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei took the two children to the car.
Gu Junzhu gave the address of the Yi family to Gu Chi, and the car headed towards the Yi family’s villa.
In the car, the little guy sat in Gu Junzhu’s arms, chattering non-stop with excitement. Being around his beloved parents and his favorite playmate, he wasn’t upset at all about his scratched face.
However, Lingyue, sitting next to Ye Xingbei, had a tight face, with signs of pain he couldn’t hide.
Ye Xingbei asked worriedly, “Xiao Yue, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
The little guy immediately shut up, also turning to Lingyue with concern.
Lingyue pressed his lips uncomfortably, “I’m okay, Auntie.”
“It must be because Yi Xingling hit him!” The little guy’s excited face fell, guiltily explaining, “Yi Xingling slapped me a few times before Brother Xiaoyue intervened. Brother Xiaoyue shielded me behind him, and I couldn’t get through. Yi Xingling grabbed Brother Xiaoyue’s hair and had several boys kick him.”
Ye Xingbei, hearing this, was filled with worry. She turned to Gu Junzhu, “Should we go to the hospital for a check-up first?”
If the child is so young and really got hurt, what should they do then?
The Yi family can’t escape. They can settle scores with them anytime.
They can’t delay treating the child’s injuries.
Gu Junzhu nodded, instructing Gu Chi, “Gu Chi, let’s go to the hospital first.”
If the injury is severe, taking an injury report could aid their dispute with the Yi family.
To be generous, Yi Xingling’s actions were just child fights.
In the worst case, it’s school bullying.
Fortunately, their child is outgoing and carefree. Despite being hit, he could still be so happy.
But if Yi Xingling encounters a psychologically fragile child, he might leave lifelong psychological scars, influencing the child’s character development and destiny in their life.
Moreover, children like Yi Xingling, who had already hit their child once, would surely target their child again if they didn’t teach him a lesson and frightened him this time. Perhaps every time he encounters their child, he will beat him.
For something like this, Gu Junzhu’s tolerance was zero. She couldn’t stand it at all!
Upon arrival at the hospital, at the request of Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, Lingyue had a full-body check-up.
After the check-up, the doctor looked at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei weirdly. Being intimidated by Gu Junzhu’s aura, he didn’t say anything directly. But in a strange tone, he said: “This child severely lacks nutrition. An eight-year-old child only has the average height of a six-year-old and suffers from severe anemia. You need to provide him with proper nutrition in the future.”
Ye Xingbei knew from the doctor’s peculiar gaze that he must have worked up a melodramatic family story in his head.
Most likely, because of her youth, he mistook her to be Lingyue’s abusive stepmother.
Since he was a stranger, Ye Xingbei didn’t feel the need to explain anything.
She listened carefully to the doctor’s instructions, deciding to take care of Lingyue’s health after taking him home.
When his stepmother came to take him back, she would let Lingyue return.
Even when he went back, she planned on cooking some nutritious soup for Lingyue and let her own son deliver it to him at school.
“Moreover, this child has severe bruising in many areas,” the doctor continued. “Although he didn’t break any limbs, his injuries are severe still. I have already applied medicine. After he gets home, let the child rest. He should not participate in any strenuous physical activities for a while.”
He paused and coughed, unable to help but add, “It’s normal for a seven or eight-year-old child to be naughty. As parents, you should focus on reasoning and educating, try not to use force if possible. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on the child’s psychological growth..”
