Chapter 259: Want to Harm My Daughter? No Way

Mrs. Fu couldn’t help but look at Fu Mingxue.

"Mingxue, what’s going on with her?"

"That’s not her child. The parents aren’t around, so the boy was entrusted to her."

Fu Mingxue thought for a moment. "Mom, I’m going to go find someone. Otherwise, this will get messy."

The child had a high fever, his face flushed beet red from the heat.

’And this Director Wang didn’t take the child to a doctor first. Instead, she actually came running all the way here.’

’Whether something happened to the child or not, some of the mud was bound to be slung her way.’

"Alright, you should hurry!"

Fu Mingxue hurried out the door. Seeing the figure already running far into the distance, she yelled out directly:

"Director Wang, the Hao family’s child has such a high fever! Don’t just run around everywhere. Aren’t you just wasting time?"

"You need to take him to the hospital. How about this: stop running around. I’ll go find a leader to borrow a car from. I’ll be right back."

She went back into the courtyard, pushed her bicycle out,

and rode off toward Director Xie’s office.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu had also come out. Her voice was exceptionally loud as well.

She yelled directly at Sister Wang, who was in the distance:

"Director Wang, my daughter has gone to find a car, so don’t you run off! The child can’t be exposed to the wind. Otherwise, we would have just taken you on our bicycle."

"By the way, how did the child get such a high fever? And you, a high-ranking leader, don’t you have any common sense? A child with a high fever shouldn’t be exposed to the wind! In a base this big, how could there not be a car to take you to the hospital?"

"I know you’re anxious, but you can’t just lose your head! It’s not like you’ve never raised a child before—oh, never mind. I understand you’re worried, but you must keep your wits about you. Come over here first. My daughter will definitely find a car and be back soon."

Everyone in the family compound had known something was up ever since Sister Wang carried Hao Rong’s son to Fu Mingxue’s house.

Now, hearing what Fu Mingxue’s mother had to say, they thought it made a lot of sense.

"Director Wang, it’s true that the child shouldn’t be exposed to the wind."

"Exactly! Director Wang, even if you’re in a hurry, you can’t just be scurrying around everywhere with the child! If he’s exposed to the wind, won’t the fever just get worse?"

At this time of day, many people from the family compound were around, and they all began to chime in.

Sister Wang: ...?

Her expression stiffened. "—I was just too anxious. I was only thinking about how fast Fu Mingxue’s bicycle is, hoping to get there even faster—I didn’t expect her to refuse. I also know that—"

Mrs. Fu sneered inwardly. ’What does this have to do with her daughter?’

’Trying to sling mud, are we?’

’She’d have to get through me first.’

Her voice became even louder than before:

"Director Wang, that’s where you’re wrong. Of course she couldn’t agree! Let’s not even mention that our bicycle isn’t supposed to carry passengers on the back. Even if it could, that child has a high fever! Riding a bike that fast, the wind would be howling around him. Are you trying to kill him, or what?"

"You’re a leader, for crying out loud! How could you not even know a piece of common sense that even us country bumpkins know? Aren’t all you leaders supposed to be educated?"

"Someone who knows the situation might think you’ve been a leader for so long you forgot such basic things in your panic. But someone who doesn’t know might think you deliberately came to my house just to frame my daughter. After all, you bolted before we could even finish talking."

"What, so that everyone would think my daughter wouldn’t even help with something like this? To make them think she’s cold and heartless?"

Sister Wang’s face went red and pale by turns.

"—Aunt Fu, don’t talk nonsense! How could I possibly have such an idea? I was just anxious..."
