Chapter 971: Nipping The Problem In The Bud (1)

The car soon reached the hospital. Mo Beihan had already gotten someone to inform the hospital, and a message had been sent out via a pager. The hospital was on standby.

Gu Qingyao carried Zhong Bingyuan. “I’ll perform her operation myself. With this injury, it might be dangerous if someone else performs it.”

Mo Beihan nodded. “Don’t worry. Everything has been arranged.”

She got out of the car and ran towards the operating theater.

Everything was already arranged, and Gu Qingyao naturally entered the operating theater without any problem. The hospital was probably worried, so it arranged for other doctors to be there too.

Gu Qingyao entered the operating theater while Mo Beihan and Chen Qingqing remained outside. Chen Qingqing was still in a panic!

Mo Beihan glanced at her and said soothingly, “Don’t worry. Your Older Sister Gu said she would be fine. There shouldn’t be a problem. Just wait!”

Chen Qingqing glanced at Mo Beihan. She and her older brother had suffered terribly in their oldest uncle’s house. It was Gu Qingyao who had found a way for them to leave the Chen family. Later on, she had given them a lot of food so that they could survive. Mo Beihan had also helped them a lot. She somehow felt less worried when she saw Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao.

The two of them waited together outside the operating theater. Mo Beihan saw that Chen Qingqing was still in shock. He and Gu Qingyao were just talking about returning to the Qing River Brigade for a visit when they were driving just now. They had not expected to meet Chen Qingqing.

“When did you arrive in the capital? Where’s your older brother?”

Chen Qingqing said, “We… left long ago, but we only arrived in the capital two months ago.”

“Left long ago?” Mo Beihan frowned.

Chen Qingqing nodded. “Uhm! Almost two years ago! On the way here, we were delayed for a long time. We only reached the capital recently.”

“You were doing fine at the Qing River Brigade. Why did you come here? Where’s your older brother now?”

Chen Qingqing lowered her eyes and said, “We couldn’t go on living there, so my older brother fled with us.

“My older brother and I are grown up now and can support ourselves. As I grew older, my oldest uncle kept trying to marry me off in exchange for some wedding gifts. He found many matches for me. He was trying to sell me. If my older brother had not found out, he would have sold me already.

“Although we have separated from their household, he is still our oldest uncle. My older brother and I were helpless. They were always stealing our food. My older brother went everywhere, looking for work. That left Yuan Yuan and me by ourselves at home, and we are both girls. My older brother could not think of a solution, so he brought us and fled.”

Chen Qingqing was 15 years old and had very delicate features. In a place like the village, she was definitely considered to be a pretty young girl. Many men were willing to marry a girl like that, with just a grown-up brother and no old folks to support.

Chen Dagui was very greedy, and he was their oldest uncle. Mo Beihan was not at all surprised that he was interfering with her marriage.

“Who is Yuan Yuan? Why is she with you?”

Chen Qingqing replied, “Yuan Yuan is a child that my older brother picked up four years ago. She is 13 years old now. She was kidnapped by someone who intended to sell her. She escaped and ran into us. She begged us to help her. Then she fell and hurt her head, so she only has a vague memory of her past.

“When I first saw Yuan Yuan, she was wearing very nice clothes. She’s probably from a rich family. But she doesn’t remember anything, so my older brother and I had no choice but to take her in.”
