She Chose to Be Strong After Her Rebirth and Won Everything Back - Chapter 44 :

44 Fever

Qu Zhi looked at her with a smile and asked two relatives to carry her down the stairs.

She wanted to send her back personally!

The relatives who came with Huang Qing naturally didn’t dare to drive her home, so Qu Zhi called a taxi to send her back. The old woman knew that she had suffered a loss and cried her heart out, but Qu Zhi didn’t even look at her or pay the fare.

After Huang Qing left, the atmosphere of the banquet returned to its original state. A few guests were drunk, and Qu Zhi and Liang Wen were busy.

“You’re really something, Boss Qu.” After the banquet ended, Sister Song deliberately nudged her with her arm when they were clearing the table. I heard everything about your slap from upstairs.

!!
Qu Zhi did not say anything. She felt that the child would be the one who would be hurt the most in this farce.

“If I had known earlier, I would have let you do more work. Huang Qing’s skin is so thick, and you don’t have any calluses on your hands. Does your hand hurt?”

This amused Qu Zhi, and her mood lightened.

By the time they were done packing and returned home, it was already late at night. Chuchu was already asleep.

When they got into the car, Song Mei suddenly tugged on Qu Zhi’s sleeve. “Auntie Qu, I’m sorry.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I didn’t protect Little Sister Chuchu well.” Song Mei’s eyes were red as well.

“It’s not your fault.” Qu Zhi gently held Song Mei’s hand. “Can you tell Auntie what happened? I want to know what she did.”

Qu Zhi didn’t look angry at all. On the contrary, the warm yellow light on the road shone on her smooth hair, making her look even more gentle and beautiful.

Song Mei told her everything.

It turned out that after Huang Qing came down, she didn’t leave. Instead, she sat back at her original seat, ate, and drank without a word. Chuchu happened to be at this table at that time, and Song Mei accompanied her to toast like adults.

Chuchu looked cute, and she felt she was the little master today, so she was very proud. Everyone was busy trying to make her happy, but who knew that the ground was a little wet and slippery, so she lost her balance and fell.

At first, she was still laughing while sitting on the ground in a silly manner.

However, Huang Qing suddenly stood up and slapped her with a dark face. She even pulled her ear and asked what was so good about her, acting like she had no manners.

Qu Zhi’s head throbbed, but she pretended to be calm. She stared at the child with her light brown eyes. “And then?”

At that time, there was a red palm mark on Chuchu’s face. She covered her tiny face and did not react to what had happened. Everyone present looked at Huang Qing, who pinched her ear and cursed loudly.

When Liang Wen saw this, he hurriedly snatched the child from her hands. Huang Qing was still a little afraid when she saw him, so she sat on the ground and refused to get up. She said that she was too old and was affected by her childishness, and then the scene that Qu Zhi saw happened.

Qu Zhi rubbed Song Mei’s face. “Thank you, Song Mei. Let’s forget about the unpleasant things.”

Song Mei nodded obediently.

Qu Zhi glanced at Chuchu, who was sleeping soundly beside her, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

She had been like this when she was young.

Huang Qing’s temper had always been like this. She cared about her face the most, and when things didn’t go her way in life, she would take it out on her child.

When she was young, she had eaten countless fists from her for no reason. This caused Qu Zhi to be very neurotic towards Chuchu in her previous life. She felt that mothers were like this and didn’t need any reason to educate their children.

But later on, she realized that Chuchu and her were getting further and further apart, and becoming more like strangers. Only then did she realize she was wrong.

She had tried very hard to prevent her child from experiencing all this pain again, but in the end, she still couldn’t stop Huang Qing.

After returning home, Chuchu was so sleepy that she couldn’t even open her eyes. She obediently took a bath and fell asleep.

“It’s fine. Children are forgetful.” Liang Wen saw Qu Zhi standing at the door of Chuchu’s room for a long time and comforted her.

Qu Zhi glanced at him.

Liang Wen hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and came over to massage Qu Zhi’s shoulders.

“Today’s dinner was really good. You see, Second Uncle is so drunk. Our Qu Zhi really has some skills.”

Qu Zhi ignored him.

Of course, it was good, she had planned for more than half a month! She had already lost a few pounds, so how could it not be satisfactory?

She only realized that something was wrong when she returned to her room.

It was too quiet.

Usually, at this time, Sisi would have already kicked up a fuss and stopped sleeping.

She tentatively touched Sisi’s little face, but Sisi’s face was covered in sweat and her forehead was burning hot.

Sisi is having a fever!
