Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 231: Severely Injured

Shao Dong wanted to ask Shao Qihai why he had saved him. They had not called him ‘Daddy’ during this period of time. They had deliberately done those things to make Shao Qihai hate them and made up their minds to follow their mother if they divorced.

But why would both he and Mommy risk their lives to save them? Clearly, he had abandoned them previously. Even if there had been extenuating circumstances, it didn’t change the fact that he had left them behind. They didn’t intend to forgive him because they felt that he didn’t love them enough and didn’t value them sufficiently.

But now, why did he have to do this?

Shao Dong wanted to say something but didn’t manage to, and tears rolled down his cheeks against his will.

Shao Qihai was initially worried that Shao Dong had been hit by the glass anyway. He hadn’t expected Shao Dong to suddenly cry. This was simply a blow for Shao Qihai.

“Stop crying.” Shao Qihai gritted his teeth and spoke up. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes, but Shao Dong didn’t notice because a drop of hot liquid had dripped on his face.

Shao Dong froze for a moment before touching it. He then saw the blood on his fingertip.

Blood… Shao Qihai’s blood…

“Dad!” Shao Dong blurted out, panic evident in his choked voice.

They had said that they would never acknowledge him again and would never call him ‘Dad’ again, but their previous relationship wasn’t a lie. Shao Qihai was different from Zhao Lan and the rest. In addition, they had also vented quite a bit of their anger previously. At this critical moment, how could they care about those petty thoughts?

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Shao Qihai also saw the drop of blood. He quickly took a step back, his footsteps a tad unstable. However, just as he took a step back, someone held him up.

It was Mu Jingzhe. Her heart was in her throat, as she had just watched the glass wall smash into Shao Qihai’s body. How could flesh and blood resist such sharp glass?

Not counting the wounds on his shoulders and back, which varied in size, Mu Jingzhe saw glass shards piercing deeply his shoulders, which were drenched in blood in an instant.

Mu Jingzhe held Shao Qihai but didn’t know what to do. “Your shoulders…”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a small injury.” Shao Qihai gritted his teeth, but Shao Dong and Shao Nan had already seen it.

Upon seeing that wound, even Shao Nan, let alone Shao Dong, couldn’t help but weep.

Shao Qihai’s entire body trembled. “Little Dong, Little Nan, don’t cry. You’re not allowed to cry. A man sheds blood, not tears!”

It was already difficult for him to control the pain with all his strength. He prayed that they would not add to his troubles.

However, Shao Dong and Shao Nan showed that they couldn’t do it. “Daddy, does it hurt? What should we do…”

“Let’s take him to the hospital to stop the bleeding!” Mu Jingzhe immediately said.

“That’s right!” Because Shao Dong and Shao Nan were crying, Shao Qihai couldn’t help but cry along with them. He echoed their cries in a sorry state, but his injuries were too severe, and he didn’t recover. In combination with the fact that he was still bleeding, he ended up staggering after taking a step.

“Be careful.” Fortunately, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t relaxed. Seeing that Shao Qihai was in this state, she gestured twice, feeling that it wouldn’t be easy to handle or carry him. In the end, she gritted her teeth and lifted Shao Qihai up.

“Little Dong, Little Nan, can you keep up? Hurry up.” Given Shao Qihai’s situation, his bleeding had to be stopped as soon as possible. At the same time, she couldn’t leave Shao Dong and Shao Nan behind. At the thought of the possibility that there was another kidnapper, Mu Jingzhe was very anxious.

“We can. Mommy, let’s go.” Shao Dong and Shao Nan quickly followed her.

Shao Qihai: “…”

Only then did he realize that Mu Jingzhe’s posture seemed very familiar. It was always seen in television dramas and movies, when the male lead or a supporting male character carried the female lead.

This was all very normal and good. However, it wasn’t him carrying Mu Jingzhe now. It was Mu Jingzhe carrying him. Everything was reversed.

Shao Qihai felt extremely awkward and uneasy. He touched Mu Jingzhe’s slender but strong arm. “Jingzhe, why don’t I get down and walk?”

Mu Jingzhe looked at the tears on Shao Qihai’s face. “You’re already in too much pain. Why are you still being stubborn? It’s not like I’ll lose a piece of flesh just by carrying you. Our priority right now is going to the hospital!”

Shao Qihai’s blood kept flowing. It was unknown if it was because the blood vessels had been injured, but it was difficult to stop the bleeding wound on his shoulder. Mu Jingzhe glanced at him and sped up.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan followed her. When they saw Shao Qihai’s blood dripping down, the fear in their hearts intensified. As they followed them, tears fell down their cheeks again. “Daddy, don’t die.”

Because they had previously despised Shao Qihai, Shao Nan had even said that they would just treat him as a dead man. Previously, when Shao Qihai had been reported dead, they had deliberately not corrected the media. However, they really didn’t want him to die again.

Seeing Shao Qihai in this state made Shao Dong and Shao Nan feel afraid. They were afraid that all this had happened because of their malicious thoughts.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan anxiously followed their mother. They were crying so hard that Shao Qihai couldn’t not notice even if he wished he could. Hence, the tears that he had finally stopped flowed uncontrollably again.

At that moment, Shao Qihai really wanted to die.

He hadn’t expected the flaw that he had tried his utmost to hide to be exposed so suddenly.

“I really won’t die. Don’t worry. Stop crying. It doesn’t hurt either.”

But Shao Dong, Shao Nan, and Mu Jingzhe did not believe it. Seeing that Shao Qihai’s face was covered in tears from the pain, Mu Jingzhe cautiously looked outside the house. “It hurts a lot, doesn’t it? Bear with it for a while. I’ll definitely take you there.”

Shao Qihai knew that Mu Jingzhe had misunderstood. He was in a lot of pain, but he wasn’t crying because of the pain. He was only crying because Shao Dong was crying, but there was no way to explain it.

Mu Jingzhe was anxious, but she had to prevent the kidnapper who had run away. She was afraid that he would run back. With Shao Qihai in this state, she couldn’t guard herself against the kidnapper alone.

As Mu Jingzhe was feeling troubled, someone suddenly shouted for her to stop moving. Then, a familiar-looking police officer rushed over.

“Are you okay?”

“We caught the kidnapper.”

It turned out that they had been worried after seeing Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai go off. Thus, they had quickly chased after them. Unfortunately, Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe had run too fast, which was why they’d arrived only now.

Although it was a tad late, they weren’t too late. They had bumped into the kidnapper who had been trying to escape and caught him.

When they saw Shao Dong and Shao Nan, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Mu Jingzhe also heaved a sigh of relief.

“Let us carry him!” When they saw Mu Jingzhe carry Shao Qihai, they were all shocked. Two police officers stepped forward to carry Shao Qihai.

Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment and shook her head. “No need. I’ll run faster.” She was stronger, and Shao Qihai’s situation was so severe that they couldn’t delay.

“Help me carry the children and chase after me.” She had to see Shao Dong and Shao Nan in front of her to feel at ease.

After saying that, Mu Jingzhe carried Shao Qihai away and charged down. The two police officers paused for a moment, but in the end, they gritted their teeth and picked up Shao Dong and Shao Nan before rushing down.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they got in the car and took him to the hospital. Shao Qihai had been holding on and hadn’t fainted, but when they took him to the hospital, he fainted because he had lost too much blood.

The doctor started emergency treatment, and a problem soon surfaced. Shao Qihai had lost too much blood, but the blood bank in the hospital was limited.

“I can donate blood. Draw my blood. I have O-type blood,” Mu Jingzhe said quickly.

“Me too!” Shao Dong and Shao Nan spoke at the same time. Mu Jingzhe had taken them for a physical examination before, so they knew their blood type.

Without waiting for the doctor to speak, Mu Jingzhe pinned Shao Dong and Shao Nan back down. “You can’t give blood.”

“Why not? I’ve seen it done on TV.”

“That’s wrong. It can’t work because you’re father and sons. Besides, you’re too young.” Mu Jingzhe asked Shao Dong and Shao Nan to wait obediently while she went to have her blood drawn.
