Chapter 82: Wasting Medical Resources
Aunt Zhang responded and went out.
A short while later, Wen's mother brought Lu Niannian into the house.
As soon as Lu Niannian entered the door, she looked at Xu Qiaofeng with red eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
As soon as she entered the door, Wen's mother had a stern face and spoke with anger:
“Grandma Xu, our two families have some history. To be honest, I was against Wenya marrying Xu Qiaoyan back then.”
Grandma Xu remained calm, a smile still playing on her lips.
But those who know her well know that she is already angry.
Wen's mother acted as if she didn't see through it and continued to fan the flames.
"Qiaoyan is a quiet child and doesn't know how to care for others. Our Wenya has been sensible and considerate since she was little. If the two children are together, the girl will definitely have more to worry about."
“That matter was our family’s fault, so the Wen family agreed to the divorce.”
"But if it weren't for Nian Nian telling me the truth, I wouldn't have known that your Xu family were actually this kind of people behind the scenes!"
The moment she finished speaking, Grandma Xu's smile vanished completely.
"That Wen family man, since you know why you got divorced, you still dare to come to our door?"
“The bride price was not returned, but the dowry was all taken away, and our Xu family did not say a word.”
"Now look what's happened, you bring people to our door and accuse the Xu family of doing dirty tricks behind our backs. Tell me, what exactly have we been doing that's shameful?"
In her younger days, Grandma Xu was a woman who was just as capable as any man.
According to Zhang Sao, her family had been military men for generations, and their bandit-like demeanor was innate.
Especially now that he's deliberately not restraining his aura, Wen's mother is so intimidated by this presence that she doesn't dare to act recklessly.
With a quick glance, she grabbed Lu Niannian, who was still giving Xu Qiaofeng flirtatious looks.
"Ask Niannian!"
"If she hadn't come in and told me that your grandson's old flame had returned, I wouldn't have known about this!"
"Xu Qiaoyan is adamant about getting a divorce, so they must have been having an affair behind the scenes all along."
Lu Niannian was pushed to the center, enduring the murderous glares from the crowd. She almost hated Wen's mother to death.
Especially since her mother kept urging her to speak quickly.
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and say it.
"Grandma Xu, I just returned to China and heard that Brother Qiaofeng got married, so I was curious and wanted to go see his wife."
"I never expected to run into Wang Yingying, the classmate who used to pursue Qiao Yan."
"I originally thought that Brother Qiaoyan disliked her, but I didn't expect that after I told him about it, he would turn around and say that I was meddling in other people's business..."
The implication is...
If Xu Qiaoyan and Wang Yingying are innocent, why would they become angry and embarrassed by her well-intentioned reminder?
As Lu Niannian spoke, she deliberately turned her profile towards Xu Qiaofeng, as this was her most beautiful profile.
Tears slowly streamed down her face, her voice trembling with sobs.
"I'm just afraid that Sister Wenya will overthink things. After all, I'm really worried about Brother Qiaoyan's attitude. I wonder if he and Wang Yingying have rekindled their old relationship."
No sooner had these words been spoken than Wen's mother immediately responded.
Her tone became even more aggressive: "Listen to this, isn't it obvious enough?"
"If you have nothing to hide, why would you be afraid of what others say?"
"Grandma Xu, you must give us an explanation for what happened today, or the Wen family will never let this go."
Grandma Xu sneered and glanced at Lu Niannian.
She used to think this girl was just spoiled, but now she sees that she's bad at heart, how can she be good?
Grandma Xu didn't explain.
I wouldn't bother explaining to someone like that.
Moreover, Qiaoyan was a child she had personally raised, and she trusted him.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
Ning Tang stared at him blankly.
Her first reaction wasn't that Lu Niannian had barged into her home, but that Wang Yingying had actually had a relationship with her second brother before!
Judging from the looks of it, it's probably still that kind of special relationship.
No wonder she said that Wang Yingying always cared about her so much, and she could even see a kind of affection in her eyes.
Xu Qiaofeng, standing nearby, found it all rather baffling.
Lu Nian Nian must be sick.
As soon as she walked in, she started winking at him. If she has an eye problem, she should go to the hospital.
He's not a doctor.
Xu Qiaofeng remembered that Wen Ya had spread rumors that he liked Lu Niannian. Even if he was a straight man, he knew that he had to explain in this situation.
He quickly tugged at Ning Tang's hand, his handsome face full of seriousness.
"Tangtang, you know that you're the only one in my heart, right?"
"Don't listen to Wenya and what others say. Lu Niannian and I are not in that kind of relationship at all. I only like you now, and I will only like you in the future, as well as the baby in your belly. We are the happiest family of three..."
The man beside me kept chattering like a fly.
Ning Tang was busy thinking about the relationship between Xu Qiaoyan and Wang Yingying when she slapped him on the abs.
"I know, I know, I wasn't thinking anything."
She had wild thoughts back then because she wasn't familiar with him yet, but now that she is, she is absolutely certain that Xu Qiaofeng is not that kind of man.
Xu Qiaofeng felt wronged by his wife's perfunctory attitude.
With her thin lips pursed, she looked like a big dog being petted and then neglected.
"Are you really not just imagining things?"
"You weren't listening to me at all, you were just spacing out, you little liar."
Ning Tang was amused by his appearance.
I poked my abs in an annoyed tone, found they felt nice, and poked them again.
She quickly tried to appease Xu Qiaofeng: "I was spacing out because I was thinking about my second brother. Right now, the most urgent thing is to get rid of these two big shots."
Xu Qiaofeng felt a tightness in his waist and abdomen from the poke, and instinctively grabbed Ning Tang's hand tightly.
"Then you have to promise me first that you won't have any wild thoughts. Besides, your second brother isn't your man, so you can't pay attention to him, you can only pay attention to me."
"Okay, I promise I'll give you priority attention from now on, alright?"
The two of them had just reached an agreement.
Xu Qiaolan and Su Ying over there also ended their secret conversation.
Xu Qiaoyan was feeling unwell and simply couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to his former mother-in-law.
He even found a spot on the sofa and lay down comfortably.
These two people don't respect anyone, and Wen's mother's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
She couldn't help but raise her voice: "Xu Qiaoyan, do you think I'm invisible? I won't leave until we've discussed this!"
Xu Qiaoyan opened his eyes, his gaze was cold, and his voice was devoid of any emotion.
"You want an explanation? Fine."
He slowly got up.
"First, I divorced Wenya because she poisoned someone. I have evidence. If you don't believe me, you can go to the police station."
"Secondly, Wang Yingying and I were classmates and we did date, but we broke up for some reason. We never crossed any lines, so there is no question of me having an extramarital affair and wronging Wenya."
"Third, the bride price wasn't returned, and you took all the dowry. The Xu family didn't ask you for it back, which is already giving them a lot of face. Now you're coming to our door to spread rumors and cause trouble. Do you think we're easy to bully?"
Xu Qiaoyan seemed to have thought of something, looking at the pale-faced Wen's mother in front of him.
“You said that Lu Niannian told you all this.”
"Do you know why she suddenly had a change of heart and went to find you?"
Wen's mother was speechless, her face turning pale and then red.
Upon hearing the last sentence, a hint of smugness flashed across his previously unpleasant face.
“Niannian is Wenya’s cousin. She kindly told me the truth. What other purpose could she have?”
"As for you, thinking you can sow discord between us with a few words? Don't even think about it!"
Lu Niannian, who had been staring at Xu Qiaofeng and Ning Tang intimately with eyes red with anger, turned pale with fright upon hearing her own name.
"What do you mean by that, Brother Qiaoyan?"
"Of course I feel sorry for my cousin."
Xu Qiaoyan nodded, and said meaningfully, "You went to the hospital to see Ning Tang as soon as you returned to the country. You're quite well-informed."
"What are you doing at the hospital looking for her? I don't think the Xu family is related to you, right?"
Lu Niannian was furious.
Of course, she wanted to see which vixen had stolen the man she had her eye on since childhood.
I went to the hospital to give Ning Tang a hard time, but she didn't expect her to ignore me.
In the end, she herself was severely humiliated.
Lu Niannian would certainly not say these things in front of everyone, as that would greatly damage her image.
Lu Niannian tried her best to keep her expression normal, forcing a stiff smile.
"After all, we grew up together, and I'm very curious about what Brother Qiaofeng's wife looks like."
"If Sister Ning Tang doesn't like me, then I won't go anymore."
Xu Qiaofeng subconsciously said, "My wife is a few years younger than you, why call her 'sister'?"
"Why are you so curious about other people's wives? Are you sick in the head?"
Lu Niannian had returned from abroad, and he remembered that it was normal for two people of the same sex to be together overseas.
So much concern for Tangtang, could it be...?
Thinking of this, Xu Qiaofeng's face immediately darkened.
The way he looked at Lu Niannian was like he was looking at a thief who had stolen his treasure.
He even stepped forward and shielded Ning Tang behind him.
With eyes full of wariness and hostility, Xu Qiaofeng said coldly, "I'm warning you, stay away from my wife. If you go to see her again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"No wonder I felt like someone was looking this way from the very beginning."
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Ning Tang first suppressed a laugh, then quickly tugged at Xu Qiaofeng's arm.
He explained in a low voice, "What are you thinking now? She was staring at you, not me!"
Xu Qiaofeng, however, refused to believe it.
His daughter Tangtang is beautiful and gentle; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a fairy from heaven.
Humans are creatures that love beauty.
What if Yi Lu Nian Nian really has ill intentions?
If Lu Niannian knew that Xu Qiaofeng considered her a rival in love, she would definitely be so angry that she would roll on the ground in frustration.
This is absolutely insulting.
Hearing the threat, and seeing Xu Qiaofeng constantly protecting Ning Tang, Lu Niannian was both angry and anxious.
Tears streamed down her face without warning; she was extremely aggrieved: "Brother Qiaofeng, how could you think of me like that?"
"Besides, Ning Tang looks very mature, so I naturally assumed she was older than me."
That's what I meant.
To put it nicely, it's mature; to put it bluntly, it's old-looking.
Moreover, everyone knows that Ning Tang is currently pregnant, and she has been suffering from morning sickness and heartburn these past few days, looking rather tired.
Being targeted repeatedly made even someone as easygoing as Ning Tang a little angry.
"Miss Lu, I don't think we're very familiar with each other."
“You said you were curious about me, but I remember yesterday when you saw me, you kept bragging about the stories you and Xu Qiaofeng told when you were kids.”
Are you curious about me, or about my man?
Ning Tang is not someone who will swallow her anger.
She simply took advantage of everyone's presence and repeated everything Lu Niannian had said at the hospital yesterday.
They didn't even spare her the part where Wang Yingying made fun of her.
We're all adults here, and we're all well aware of these tactics.
I never expected that Lu Niannian, who looks like a very innocent girl, would be so scheming behind the scenes.
"Niannian, is what Ning Tang said true?" Wen's mother realized what was happening, and her gaze towards Lu Niannian became unfamiliar.
If what Ning Tang said is true, Lu Niannian came to find her not out of kindness, but because she was wronged and wanted to use her to tear Ning Tang apart!
What a deep scheme!
Lu Niannian stiffened when questioned, her eyes darting away, unable to look at Wen's mother.
No.
"Auntie, don't believe what she says. They just want to see us fight amongst ourselves. If you fall into their trap, you'll be just what they want."
But with all the evidence laid out before them, no matter how Lu Niannian tried to explain, Wen's mother remained skeptical.
Even their actions lacked the previous protectiveness and intimacy.
Suddenly, something seemed to change between the two of them.
Ning Tang was in a hurry to get to work at the hospital, so she told Xu Qiaofeng and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, a muffled sound came from behind.
Looking back, Lu Niannian had actually fainted.
She was already frail and sickly from birth, so if something happened to her in the Xu family, it would have a bad impact.
Under Grandma Xu's panicked gaze, Ning Tang quickly walked over.
I crouched down to check Lu Niannian's breathing.
The moment my fingers touched her wrist, I could feel the deliberate tension she was exerting.
How could someone who has actually fainted still unconsciously tighten their fingers?
Ning Tang understood in her heart, but remained expressionless on her face.
He deliberately raised his voice at Xu Qiaofeng: "Qiaofeng, quickly go and call the guards outside. Miss Lu has fainted. Take her to the hospital immediately."
Just as Xu Qiaofeng was about to go out, he saw Lu Niannian's eyelashes tremble rapidly.
He instantly understood Ning Tang's meaning and said with a cold smile, "I'll be back right away."
At this moment, Lu Niannian, who was lying on the ground, almost hated Ning Tang for being so nosy.
What if so many people come and find out she's faking it?
Just as Lu Niannian was trying to find a way to slip away, Xu Qiaofeng rushed in with his men.
As luck would have it, there happened to be a military doctor outside who had just returned from his night shift.
As soon as the military doctor came in, he professionally held Lu Niannian's wrist.
As soon as he felt the pulse, his brows furrowed immediately.
Although the pulse was slower than that of an average person, it didn't seem like someone who had fainted at all.
The military doctor then discreetly reached out to check her breathing.
As soon as his finger approached, he felt Lu Niannian unconsciously take a breath, her breathing quickening considerably.
The military doctor felt he had been tricked and was about to get angry and scold Xu Qiaofeng for making such a joke when he realized that the tension on their faces didn't seem fake.
So he swallowed the harsh words and got up to leave.
Grandma Xu tried to stop her, but what she said next left her stunned.
The military doctor said, "My time is precious. There's no need to waste medical resources on someone who's faking fainting."
"If you're really bored and have nothing better to do, go and shovel the dog poop in front of the door."
After saying that, the military doctor left, muttering that the world was going to the dogs.
Lu Niannian lay on the ground, feeling the gaze on her face, so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
