It's true that she shouldn't have had any illusions. At least until today, Molly still believed that Qin Meng was just a little distant from them, but that she wasn't a bad person and would never harm anyone. But as it turns out, she was wrong!
Molly pulled her hand out of Qin Meng's palm and gave a forced smile.
"You go back first, I need to rest, I'll definitely contact you later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Qin Meng stood up, her face beaming with joy, and walked out. "You should rest well and make sure you get better. I'm waiting to fight alongside you."
Molly looked at her silently, her eyes revealing an undisguised coldness as she watched her leave.
As soon as she left, Hung Hing came in, closed the door, frowned, walked to the bedside, and poured Molly a glass of water.
"Don't blame me for being nosy, but I think Qin Meng is acting more and more strangely lately. She even lied just now. I have a feeling she has ulterior motives."
"I know."
“You know that, so why did you…” Hung Hing sighed, “You wouldn’t still be treating her out of friendship, would you?”
"I only realized it today. When she contacted me yesterday, I actually believed her lies!"
"She contacted you yesterday?!"
Both of them sounded angry, but Molly, concerned for her health, didn't dare to get too worked up and simply nodded.
"Yes, she told me that Duan Xiaowan wanted to replace me, and that Wanqing's departure from the Beijing area to inspect the branch factory was to expand Duan Xiaowan's authority. She said that if I didn't go back, I would lose my position, and that her factory needed me..."
As she spoke, Molly's hand began to tremble, and Hung Hing quickly grasped it.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. At least we've seen through her true colors now. Be more careful in the future."
"Yes, I will."
About an hour later, Molly's parents brought some nourishing soup to the hospital and a meal for Hung Hing. The two elders were very worried when they saw that their daughter's face was pale.
While opening the lunchbox, Mo's mother kept rambling on and on.
"You silly child! Hung Hing wanted you to stay home and enjoy your life, not go to the factory, but you insisted on going. Luckily, nothing serious happened this time, otherwise your father and I really wouldn't know what to do!"
"I'm sorry, Mom. It's my fault for not listening to you." Molly quickly admitted her mistake. She opened her mouth to take the soup her mother fed her, and then added, "By the way, Mom, if Qin Meng comes to the house to see me again, just help me refuse her. I don't want to see her."
"Oh? What's wrong? Qin Meng is a good girl, isn't she? You two are still friends." Mo's mother glanced at the gifts on the table. "Who sent these?"
"Qin Meng".
"See, I told you this child has a kind heart; he came to see you so quickly..."
"Mom, she's up to no good!" Molly raised her voice. "Do you know that she's half responsible for what happened to me today?!"
Molly's parents were suddenly stunned. They looked at each other, wondering how an unexpected incident had gotten involved with Qin Meng, who wasn't even there.
“Hongxing, tell us what exactly happened?” Mo’s father looked at his son-in-law. “This concerns your wife and children, and the safety of our daughter. This matter cannot be taken lightly.”
“Dad, to tell you the truth, Qin Meng went to see Molly yesterday and said some things to her, which made her rush back to the factory. If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened.”
He didn't explain it in detail; the factory was a complex situation that the two elderly people couldn't understand in a short time, so he only gave them a general overview.
Hearing him say that, Mr. Mo glanced at his daughter, and Molly nodded to him.
"Just as he said, Qin Meng instigated my relationship with Wanqing, and I actually... almost believed it..."
"My God! How could someone be so vicious? I thought she was a good person! How despicable! Who does she think she is, daring to sow discord between you and Wanqing!"
Originally, Mo's mother thought Qin Mengren was a good person, but when it came to her daughter and Jiang Wanqing, she immediately changed her mind.
"I'm done eating, Mom and Dad. I want to rest. You can go back now."
“Your father and I will stay here to take care of you. Let Hung Hing go back and rest. He’s been watching over you all day and has to go to work tomorrow. He can’t afford to collapse from exhaustion.”
"Mom, I'm fine. I don't need to go to the factory so early. There are people in charge. I can just stay with Molly. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at home."
Hong Xing refused to leave no matter what, insisting on staying to watch over Molly. Molly's parents were increasingly satisfied with this son-in-law, and unable to dissuade him, they could only let him go.
"Alright then, we'll come earlier tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work today."
"This is what I should do. You can go back now."
It was late at night. After saying goodbye, Hung Hing closed the door to the ward and stayed by the bedside. He closed his eyes and dozed off for a while after Molly fell asleep.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door. Hung Hing opened his sleepy eyes and went to open the door.
"Mom and Dad, you're back too early..." He didn't finish his sentence, but upon seeing the person in front of him, he instantly sobered up. "Sister-in-law?! You... why are you back? Weren't you at the branch factory..."
It seemed he hadn't made the call. Jiang Wanqing pushed him away and snorted.
"Such a big thing happened and you didn't even tell me! Luckily, the branch factory I went to wasn't far from Beijing, and I was only a one-night drive back. Otherwise, were you planning to wait until I finished my trip and came back before telling me anything?"
"this……"
Hong Xing scratched his head, speechless. He really didn't want Jiang Wanqing to worry, so he didn't plan to tell her. He thought that by the time she came back, everything would be over. But he didn't expect her to actually come back.
She wanted to get angry, but seeing Molly sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, she restrained herself and pulled Hung Hing away.
"Go outside and tell me what really happened!"
She was very worried and anxious. It had only been two or three days since she left, and this had happened. It was really worrying!
There weren't many people in the corridor yet. Jiang Wanqing stared at Hong Xing, who gave up and could only explain the situation to her in detail.
Upon hearing that the matter was related to Qin Meng, Jiang Wanqing's expression changed drastically, and she was enveloped in a low-pressure atmosphere. Her imposing presence was no less than that of Cheng Ran.
"I never imagined she could stoop to such a despicable level!"
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Molly now knows who is truly good to her and won't be fooled again."
"You won't fall for it again, but does that mean Qin Meng won't cause trouble again?"
"this……"
Hung Hing fell silent. This time, it was really hard to say. He took a breath.
"Sister-in-law, what do you suggest we do?"
Jiang Wanqing waved her hand: "I know what I'm doing. Take good care of Molly first. I'm going back to the factory. You stay here and don't go anywhere. Make sure no one takes advantage of the situation, understand?"
"I understand, sister-in-law."
He had originally been worried about the lack of talent at the factory and was thinking of going back. Now that Jiang Wanqing, who was in charge of the overall situation, had returned, he had nothing to worry about and could just focus on taking care of Molly.
