He was speaking those words while looking at Gu Junzhu.
Ye Xingbei’s guess was not wrong.
The doctor indeed mistook her for a wicked stepmother.
He was thinking, that nowadays these young girls would do anything to marry into a wealthy family.
Just look at this girl, barely eighteen or nineteen and already acting as a stepmother for a seven or eight-year-old child.
It’s one thing to be a stepmother, but to not treat the child properly and get the kid beaten up so badly.
If it weren’t for Gu Junzhu’s imposing aura which was so astonishing that it could be seen as being wealthy, exquisite, lofty, and cold, pushing everyone thousands of miles away from him, not whoever they could afford to offend, he would really want to call the police to arrest her.
Ye Xingbei did not bother to explain. She took note of all the doctor’s advice and then bid him farewell.
Inside the car, she looked through the medical report of Lingyue, her hands trembling with fury.
The doctor was the one who took Lingyue into the examination room, as she waited outside, she had no idea how badly the child was hurt.
It was clearly written in the examination report: the number of bruises and the number of soft tissue contusions on his body.
Ye Xingbei was utterly shocked.
She had always thought that children’s fights were just pulling hair, slapping, and scratching faces.
She never expected that the girl called Yi Xingling could be so brutal, beating the child to such a state.
Considering that all the injuries on this child were sustained while protecting her son, if this child hadn’t taken the blows, her son would have been the one being hit, she felt her heart trembling.
Her son was only five years old, delicate like a tender bud, she usually couldn’t bear to raise her voice at him.
With them hitting so hard, wouldn’t her son’s gentle arms and legs be killed by their actions?
Ye Xingbei was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and her face turned pale.
She discarded the medical report, stripped her son’s clothes, and began to carefully examine him.
“Mommy, don’t undress outside, it’s embarrassing…” the little one said shyly, his cheeks turning red and tightly holding onto his clothes.
“It’s okay, let mommy look, it’s not embarrassing.” Ye Xingbei’s heart hung in the air, feeling very uncomfortable, ignoring her son’s struggle and carefully examining him.
The little one was both shy and ticklish, and tried to hide in Gu Junzhu’s arms: “Daddy, help! Daddy, help!”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and tousled his hair. “Let your mom look. If you don’t let her see properly, even daddy can’t help you.”
Seeing the lovely interaction of the family of three, Lingyue’s eyes filled with envy.
Ye Xingbei thoroughly checked her son and found that he wasn’t injured.
Then she turned her attention to Lingyue.
She wanted to see Lingyue’s injuries, but she felt that Lingyue, who was already eight years old, would probably be more shy than her son, and might feel embarrassed about letting her look.
As expected, Lingyue sensed her intentions, and with a shy expression on his face, he shrank aside and whispered, “Auntie, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Ye Xingbei chuckled and patted him on the head: “Good boy, thank you for protecting Xiao Shu. After Auntie and Uncle get your revenge, you can come to our house and Auntie will make delicious food for you and Xiao Shu!”
“Mm-hmm,” the little one eagerly nodded, his bright eyes sparkling, “Mommy’s soup is the best! I can drink three bowls in one go!”
He held up three tender little fingers in front of Lingyue.
Lingyue smirked, glanced at Ye Xingbei who was awaiting his response, hesitated for a moment, finally made up his mind and nodded: “Thank you, Auntie..”
