"Bai Lian is suing her? Is a lawsuit really necessary for a car accident?" Dong Lao Ye, the old patriarch, also found it strange. He put down his teacup, shocked, "Is the Mu Family fighting internally now? Don’t leave just yet, ask your uncle first."
He was referring to Dong Xiaobai.
With Ren Wanxuan now showing her sharp edges, the Mu Family would surely need to protect her. Why would Bai Lian sue her?
Dong Xiaobai was also aware of this matter and recounted it from start to finish, "It’s a criminal case. Right now, we’re waiting for the trial to start. Mu Zhendong is finding her a defense lawyer, while Yining stands by Alian’s side. You all decide how to handle it."
The implication was that it was time to choose sides.
After thinking for a while, Dong Lao Ye said, "Xiao Chuan, I remember, have your mother find a lawyer."
Dong Chuan’s mother was an external member of the Jiang Family, and it was well known that the Jiang Family had a legal dream team.
This meant he had definitely decided on which side to align with.
Indeed, considering the leverage that Ren Wanxuan was showing now, anyone’s support would be valuable for the Dong Family to consider.

Hospital.
Ren Jiawei stood under the hospital building with an address she had gotten from Ren Qian.
She tilted her head slightly, looking up at the towering inpatient department.
After a long while, she gathered her shawl around her and went in, joining a crowd waiting for the elevator.
She didn’t go to find Xiaoqi first but instead sought out a doctor to inquire about his condition.
"Not good," the attending physician, upon hearing that she was Bai Lian’s aunt by marriage, told her the blunt truth, "He barely survived. If it hadn’t been for Director Gu’s help, he wouldn’t have made it through the resuscitation, and his leg will likely have serious..."
After the inquiry, she finally went to the ward.
Xiaoqi was in a private room.
Xiaowu had gone to take care of some troublemakers from the Luo Family, and now in Xiaoqi’s ward was Mao Kun, leisurely peeling an apple with a knife.
Upon seeing that the person knocking on the door was Ren Jiawei, he leaned against the door frame and turned his phone in his hand.
He naturally recognized her as a member of the Ren Family.
He didn’t let her in.
"I’m just here to see him," Ren Jiawei said, visibly tired. Her eyes fell behind Mao Kun, unable to clearly see who was lying on the hospital bed, "Don’t worry, I won’t say anything else."
After all, she was Bai Lian’s aunt by marriage. Mao Kun scrutinized Ren Jiawei thoroughly for a long while before stepping back to let her in.
Xiaoqi was lying in bed.
Xiaowu had set up a tablet above his head with an adjustable stand.
At the moment, the tablet was playing a documentary about the animal kingdom.
