His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

She put her daughter down, turned on her phone, and saw a WeChat message from Ruan Wei.

[Mianmian, don't worry, the children are with me.]

Qiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know why Ruan Wei had come to the mall, she was relieved as long as Mu Cheng and Mu Ye were with her.

It seems that Ruan Wei made that emergency call.

"Daddy, hug me..."

At this moment, Huo Sinian, who was in Song Man's arms, cried and wanted a hug.

Huo Yanbei withdrew his gaze, took his daughter from Song Man's arms, and left the mall.

Qiao Mian watched the family of three walk away together, then looked down at her daughter with her swollen, red face, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and calmly said, "Officer, I am now formally filing a police report. My daughter was assaulted. In addition to the surveillance video as evidence, many parents present also witnessed the incident, and some people took photos and recorded videos. You can start investigating and collecting evidence now."

"Madam, don't worry, we will investigate and find out the truth."

After the police finished speaking, they took a brief statement from Qiao Mian, had her fill out a form, and then went to check the surveillance footage.

Qiao Mian took Qiao Muxin out of the mall and hailed a taxi to the hospital.

After getting in the car, Qiao Muxin nestled in her mother's arms, tears welling in her eyes, and sobbed, "Mommy, I don't like that handsome uncle anymore... He pushed you, he's a bad uncle..."

"Okay, we don't like him..."

With mixed feelings, Qiao Mian hugged her daughter tightly, reached out, and gently rubbed her little face. "Does it still hurt?"

Qiao Muxin pouted, and tears streamed down her face. "It hurts..."

Qiao Mian's heart clenched painfully. She carefully wiped away the tears on her face. "Be a good girl, Xin Xin. Let's go to the hospital and have the doctor put some ointment on it so it won't hurt anymore, okay?"

"good……"

Qiao Muxin gently wiped away a tear from the corner of her mother's eye with her soft little hand. "Mommy, don't worry, Xinxin is only in a little pain..."

My daughter is so sensible, it breaks my heart.

Qiao Mian gently coaxed, "Xin Xin, tell Mommy, did you bump into that child?"

Qiao Muxin pouted, "I bumped into it, but I didn't mean to..."

After saying that, she asked with a worried look, "Mom, will the police arrest me?"

"No, no."

Qiao Mian hugged her daughter tightly and gently kissed her forehead: "From now on, Xin Xin, don't think about this anymore. Leave everything to Mommy, okay?"

"Yes, Xin Xin will listen to her mother."

"My sweet baby..."

After coaxing her for a while, her frightened emotions finally calmed down a bit.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Qiao Mian asked the doctor to order a whole bunch of tests.

I've been busy for half a day, but there are still a few tests I haven't done.

Qiao Muxin said she was a little hungry.

She bought milk and bread for the child to have something to eat first.

She didn't eat a single bite, nor could she eat any more.

After my daughter finished eating, I took her for other checkups.

The last examination was a CT scan.

The queuing machine showed that there were two people ahead of me in line.

At this moment, the rest area outside the CT scan room was full of people.

As Qiao Mian led her daughter to the side corridor to find a place to sit down, she unexpectedly ran into Huo Yanbei in the corridor.

He was carrying a bag containing CT scan images; he must have come to pick up his daughter's test results.

When he saw Qiao Mian, his face was expressionless, and he calmly glanced at Qiao Muxin, who was being led by the hand.

Seeing that the little girl's face was still red and swollen, just as he was about to say something, Qiao Muxin was so frightened that she hid behind Qiao Mian.

A fluffy little head peeked out, and after giving the bad uncle a timid glance, it tugged at Qiao Mian's hand. "Mommy, is the bad uncle here to arrest me?"

Huo Yanbei's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing the words "bad uncle".

Qiao Mian gently patted her daughter's head and whispered, "Mommy's here, don't be afraid."

Children's world is very simple.

She bumped into a child and was slapped by the child's parent.

Now that she's run into that child's father, she naturally assumes he's there to settle scores with her.

"Here for a checkup?"

Huo Yanbei glanced at the form in her hand and asked.

Qiao Mian's eyes were cold, and she ignored him.

He grabbed his daughter and turned to leave.

As soon as I reached the door of the CT scan room, I heard the doctor call Qiao Muxin's name.

She handed the form to the doctor.

After the doctor finished examining her, he gave her some instructions and told her to take her child inside.

Following the doctor's instructions, I placed Qiao Muxin on the machine bed and calmed my daughter down before coming out again.

Looking up, I saw Huo Yanbei again.

Qiao Mian ignored him and stood to the side, her gaze fixed intently on the closed examination room door.

Seeing her icy attitude, Huo Yanbei walked over and stood beside her. "About today..."

"It's already been handed over to the police."

Qiao Mian turned her head and looked at him coldly, "Mr. Huo, it's not too late for us to communicate after the police have investigated the matter."

"Qiao Mian".

Huo Yanbei called to her in a deep voice, "Are you angry with me?"

Qiao Mian's brows furrowed sharply. "Mr. Huo, if your precious daughter were slapped, what would you do?"

She really wanted to say: Huo Yanbei, your daughter Qiao Muxin has been slapped!

She really wanted to see what his expression would be after hearing those words.

But there are no "what ifs".

If there were any "what ifs," she would rather die than see him again!

Huo Yanbei frowned slightly after being rebuffed, "I'll pay for your daughter's medical expenses."

Qiao Mian wanted to laugh, but a lump in her throat brought tears to her eyes: "Is President Huo trying to settle things with money again?"

The man's breath hitched slightly: "Qiao Mian, the matter of the child will be clarified in time. I meant well."

"A kind offer? I have to accept it?"

She said coldly, and then retorted.

Huo Yanbei frowned even more, and just as he was about to speak again, the examination room door slowly opened.

The doctor called out, "Are Qiao Muxin's family members here?"

"I am here."

Qiao Mian raised her hand in response.

"The checkup is finished. Come in and take your child out."

"good……"

As soon as Qiao Mian took a step, everything went black.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of dizziness washed over me.

As she swayed and instinctively tried to grab something to lean on, a large hand gripped her waist tightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Huo Yanbei supported her lower back with his palm, making her stand up straight.

Seeing that her face was pale and her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, the doctor immediately said, "Your wife probably has low blood sugar. Quickly help her sit down and rest."

When Qiao Mian was mistaken for "wife" again, she tried to break free from the man's hand in disgust. Huo Yanbei simply picked her up and carried her to the rest area, placing her in an empty seat.

"Please sit for a while, I'll take the child out for you."

After saying that, he put the bag hanging on his wrist into Qiao Mian's arms.

Before she could refuse, he turned around and was led into the examination room by the doctor.
