My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 528 - 178 Campus Culture and Arts Festival_3

If the matter had ended like this, it wouldn’t have affected Shan Zhi much. However, that child was young and saw that the grandparents’ home was filled with photos of Shan Zhi. Everywhere in their conversation was praise and affection for Shan Zhi. In anger, the child cried and demanded Shan Zhi leave, refusing to let Shan Zhi return to the grandparents’ house.

"If she’s here, I’m not; if I’m here, she’s not!" Those were the child’s exact words.

Shan Zhi’s mother’s family naturally got very angry. Shan Zhi was a child they had watched grow up, obedient and sensible with outstanding grades. Decades of affection naturally surpassed a capricious child.

Shan Zhi’s grandparents called overnight, asking Shan Zhi’s mother to take that child away. Either let Shan Zhi’s mother’s second husband’s family take care of it or let her take the child herself; anyway, they were unwilling to do it anymore.

Shan Zhi’s mother had just regained her freedom without her son holding her back, and was out fishing for handsome guys. Hearing this, she naturally disagreed. But her second husband’s family had many descendants, and the son she bore wasn’t significant. She had already received child support, so how could she give the child back?

With no choice, Shan Zhi’s mother had to take the child with her, planning that once her family’s anger subsided, she would find a way to send the child back.

At this point, the ridiculous situation emerged.

It turned out Shan Zhi’s father’s new wife was the sister of the handsome guy Shan Zhi’s mom was interested in. After learning about this, she ridiculed Shan Zhi’s mother, pointing at the child and calling him a "child nobody wanted."

Mother and child flared up in the street, the child clinging to the new wife’s leg, while the mother pulled the new wife’s hair, pinning her to the ground and punching her repeatedly, knocking out two teeth.

Shan Zhi’s father decided to step in at this point. He was also a muddled person, thinking it was Shan Zhi’s grandparents causing trouble. If not for them "kicking out" the child, none of this would have happened. So he went over to curse Shan Zhi’s grandparents, driving them angry enough to end up in the hospital.

Shan Zhi was the emergency contact for the grandparents. When they were in trouble and hospitalized, Shan Zhi was the first one the hospital contacted. Shan Zhi cherished the four elders who had raised her. Knowing her grandparents were ill, it was her parents’ fault, so she hurriedly took leave to visit the hospital.

But upon arriving at the hospital and settling the series of hospitalization fees, she had to face her father and mother, her mother’s new son, her father’s new wife, and new daughter.

She was yet to come of age. Even though during her school days, classmates pointed fingers due to family changes, the campus environment was relatively simple. Facing aggressive adults, she could only clench her fists, lowering her head, not daring to speak.

Shan Zhi’s mother scolded Shan Zhi, Shan Zhi’s father scolded Shan Zhi, the son disliked Shan Zhi, the new wife disliked Shan Zhi, Shan Zhi’s father’s new daughter wasn’t present, but three adults and one child surrounding Shan Zhi was more than enough to make her uncomfortable.

In the hospital, Shan Zhi was surrounded by them. While a moment ago, they were physically fighting fiercely, when it came to scolding Shan Zhi, they were extremely "in sync." Taking turns verbally, they directly berated Shan Zhi as a worthless "waste."

Standing in the hospital, Shan Zhi’s mind went blank, tears fell drop by drop, but there was no one to step forward to help her. Several nurses and doctors tried to step in and rescue her but were harshly scolded by those three adults. After this, no one dared to speak up for her.

Du Xixi, hearing about this, felt that the hospital’s security seemed to be taking money for nothing. People causing a commotion on their turf should be stopped regardless of the fact’s truth; otherwise, it disturbs other patients’ rest and consultations. Doing nothing and allowing them to quarrel would have significant consequences.

At this point, the mechanical soldiers hadn’t shown up yet because Shan Zhi hadn’t been physically harmed. The soldiers determined she was "safe" and quietly observed from afar.

But fate wanted Shan Zhi to receive help from Du Xixi. That son despised Shan Zhi so much that amid Shan Zhi’s tears and nobody blocking him, he grabbed the scissors from the nurse’s station and attempted to stab Shan Zhi.

The danger struck, giving the mechanical soldiers purpose. They swiftly shielded Shan Zhi and kicked the son away, knocking him to the ground, crying nonstop.

With the mechanical soldiers appearing, Shan Zhi didn’t need anyone’s concern. The soldiers conveyed Du Xixi’s instructions to Shan Zhi, telling her she could seek help from Blue Star University, mentioning those three stunned adults and the sobbing child, directly tossing them outside the hospital.

At this moment, the security was quite conscientious, not letting those four people have their way, regardless of their tearful pleas to get back in.

With the mechanical soldiers protecting her, Shan Zhi finally regained some clarity, wiped her tears, and used the Light Computer to apply for aid from Blue Star University. Within about half an hour, Blue Star University sent specialized personnel, including professors from the Law Academy and cadets from the Military Department, to assist Shan Zhi.

The mechanical soldiers waited until the situation ended, Shan Zhi’s grandparents regained consciousness, then returned to Du Xixi’s side.
