Just then, Zhao Yuncheng brought Jiang Xiaomian in, followed by several men and women dressed in very unique styles.

Jiang Xiaomian had just finished rehearsing and was still wearing her exaggerated stage costume. When she saw Qiao Xia's condition, tears welled up in her eyes. "Sister Qiao, thank you so much. I only just realized that my mother's illness was a result of medication. The reason is that she had signed a consent form to voluntarily donate her body before her death."

"They did all this for her organs." Jiang Xiaomian felt both relieved and terrified. The only relief was that he owed Qiao Xia more and more, and he might have to spend his whole life repaying her.

"The injured person we encountered during the rescue of Mr. Qiao is fine now because of timely treatment, so you don't need to worry about him."

Qiao Xia hadn't really taken Jiang Tianci seriously, but Zhao Yuncheng's words undoubtedly corroborated the truth of Qiao Zhaoxing's statement.

And the words spoken by those men and women dressed flamboyantly and boldly directly slapped Wang Youyi in the face.

Someone whistled, "Qiao Xia, we all saw you put your hand on the bomb on the deck last night to save your cousin. No matter what your family says, we're making you our friend."

Without waiting for Qiao Xia's response, he put the flowers he had bought on the ground and ran away in a flash.

Although they were not as valued as their older brothers and sisters, they were still extremely pampered because of their young age.

Upon learning of the bomb on board, a rescue boat that had been following behind came immediately, but at that age, they were also at an age where they loved seeking thrills.

They were determined to see what a ship explosion would look like, and even the police couldn't stop them.

Many people on the ship witnessed how Qiao Xia jumped ship at the last minute to survive.

I have to say, that scene was absolutely awesome!

Especially after witnessing Qiao Xia and Mu Xiaogui's earth-shattering gamble, in the hearts of these spoiled rich kids, Qiao Xia instantly became a role model just like Mu San.

The difference is that when faced with someone like Mu San, whom everyone admires, they just want to stay far away, but when faced with Qiao Xia, they want to follow her around.

Although Qiao Xia told her elders about her experience last night, they all agreed that the chips she used for gambling were officially supplied to set a trap for the Mu family, and advised them to stay away.

But so what? If someone were truly obedient, they wouldn't be a spoiled brat.

So after learning that Qiao Xia was staying in the same hospital as them, a few acquaintances discussed it and came early with flowers to show their faces.

Coincidentally, because there were too many people standing on Qiao Xia's side, they had to put the flowers around Tang Ling's bed. It's unclear who started it, but all the flowers they brought were white lilies, and the arrangement made it look like a funeral procession.

Tang Ling's face turned pale and then red; she couldn't believe that Qiao Xia would be willing to risk her life to save her.

In fact, Qiao Xia blushed slightly when Qiao Zhaoxing said those words.

The reason she went to stand in for Tang Ling was because she was protected by the system's halo; it was her own misjudgment that led to such a dangerous situation.

Without the system's halo effect, she really wouldn't be willing to trade one for one.

Wang Youyi had even more to think about. She still had doubts about Qiao Xia saving her daughter, but she also knew that it was absolutely inappropriate to say such things in front of the old man at this moment.

Moreover, the current situation of the Qiao family is clearly different from what she thought, and Qiao Xia has reconnected with her old circle.

In that case, Tang Ling's marriage doesn't necessarily have to be tied to Shen Shuoyan. However, those are secondary matters. The most urgent task is to get through this current hurdle first.

Wang Youyi immediately changed her strategy. She took out a small handkerchief from her bag and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's all my fault. I thought this child had never been close to me since he was little, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, I would have to rely on my own family."

"Who's family to you?" There were some things that Qiao Zhaoxing, as her son-in-law, couldn't say, but Tang Xining didn't intend to indulge her.

Tang Xining had always known that Wang Youyi was no pushover, but in the past, whether she was fighting outside or fighting for her own little family, it was all for her own little family.

Tang Xining didn't lack those things, so she turned a blind eye to her behavior. What really disgusted her was that she used that energy on the child.

Wang Youyi was flexible and assertive. In front of everyone, she slapped herself hard across the face without holding back. "It's my fault for misunderstanding Xiaxia before. But we're still family. Aning, at least give me a chance to make amends."

Tang Xining frowned and looked away in disgust. "If you really want to be good to her, take your daughter out now."

"This..." Wang Youyi looked to Old Master Tang for help. She was ruthless to herself, but she couldn't bear to let Lingling suffer with her.

And that slap clearly had an effect.

Grandpa Tang slammed his cane on the ground. "Alright, we're all family. This behavior will only make us a laughingstock. Lingling just woke up, so let her rest here."

Grandpa Tang glanced at Wang Youyi and said, "Since you don't like her, let her go back first. We can talk about other things later."

Wang Youyi immediately stood up and smiled gratefully at him.

"No way." Tang Xining refused without leaving any room for negotiation.

Old Master Tang almost thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"

"I said no." Tang Xining added, "Xiaxia needs to rest well. Not only her, you have to go too."

Wang Youyi wanted to say something more, but Tang Ling shook her clothes and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I'm fine, let's go."

She was very confused and just wanted to find a quiet place to think things through. She didn't want to get caught up in their argument any longer.

Wang Youyi wanted to argue further, but seeing the determination in her daughter's eyes, she had no choice but to give up.

Most of the people in the ward had left. Zhao Yuncheng had stayed by Qiao Xia's side the whole time, so he only went through the motions of asking about the details before leaving.

Jiang Xiaomian was also urged by Qiao Xia to go back to practice dancing.

Only the family of three remained in the ward. Qiao Zhaoxing picked up the pale-colored black chicken soup again. "Here, Xia Bao, the chicken soup is almost cold. It contains ingredients that I air-freighted from all over the world."

Qiao Xia's face scrunched up, her eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hands.

Qiao Zhaoxing persisted in urging, "The doctor said you need to replenish your energy. Drink the soup properly to make sure you get all your strength back."

Tang Xi looked at the father and son quietly, pushed up her glasses, and said, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Qiao Xia quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip. "Dad, I think this soup is really good."

Qiao Zhaoxing chimed in, "Really? I think so too..."

"Hmm?" Tang Xining's eyes sharpened.

The two looked at each other and lowered their heads simultaneously. "We're sorry, we were wrong."
