As they came out of the room, Xiang Jin grabbed Zhou Zhou's arm: "Was the medical visit arranged by the young master?"
"Of course, who else could it be but the young master? Butler Feng said that the young master has been waiting for Dr. Wu to return. He only arrived in China last night, and the young master brought him to Huadu. It's all for your sake, Madam!"
“Madam, the young master is truly good to you,” Zhou Zhou said.
Xiang Jin remained silent.
He made her resign last night, was it for her voice?
Is he... concerned about her?
No, that's impossible.
He likes Xiang Qi and treats her throat, perhaps because he thinks she's a decent substitute and plans to use her long-term?
Xiang Jin found it somewhat ironic.
She's never been able to see through him, and now she sees him even less.
Zhou Zhou went to the restroom and asked Xiang Jin to wait for her.
Xiang Jin found a bench and sat down, gazing absently at the sky outside the hospital.
"Oh, isn't this Xiang Jin? You didn't know I was coming to the hospital, so you waited for me here, did you?" Lu Yixuan walked towards her, with a refined and elegant lady standing beside her. She was very beautiful, but not Mrs. Lu.
"Yixuan, is this your friend?" The noblewoman glanced at Xiang Jin with haughty eyes.
"No, Aunt Rong, she is Brother Xiao's wife, Xiang Jin, and your daughter-in-law!" Lu Yixuan smiled faintly, but a shadow flashed in her eyes.
Aunt Rong?
She is Lin Anrong, Murong Xiao's mother?
Xiang Jin quickly stood up and bowed to her.
Lin Anrong's expression was somewhat cold. She looked Xiang Jin up and down, and seeing that she was well-behaved and had a graceful appearance, she didn't say anything.
"What are you doing at the hospital? Are you sick? Why isn't my son with you?"
Xiang Jin shook her head and pointed to her throat, indicating that she was fine and just came to have her throat checked.
Lin Anrong was puzzled.
"Aunt Rong, she's mute, she can't speak," Lu Yixuan whispered.
Lin Anrong's expression changed instantly.
She's mute? She's actually mute?
What's wrong with her son? Not only did he secretly get married behind the family's back, but he also married a woman like this. Isn't he deliberately disgracing the Murong family?
Lin Anrong was furious.
"Madam, I brought you here today to see a doctor about your voice. Dr. Wu said your voice can recover. Please don't dislike or begrudge your wife because of this." At this moment, Zhou Zhou returned and quickly explained on Xiang Jin's behalf.
"Dr. Wu said that?"
"Yes."
Dr. Wu's medical skills are indeed superb. Since he says so, there is still hope.
Lin Anrong's expression softened somewhat.
"Aunt Rong, you don't know, do you? She's been to jail. Uncle said it's a mess in jail. Many women get pregnant out of nowhere, and they don't even know who the father is..." Lu Yixuan continued to add fuel to the fire.
"What, you've been to jail?"
Lu Yixuan nodded, on the verge of tears, "I don't know what kind of spell she cast on Brother Xiao. She's the murderer who killed my sister!"
Lin Anrong's expression was beyond ugly.
Lu Yifan was someone she had watched grow up, and she had always had a deep relationship with the Murong family. She never expected that her son would marry an enemy!
She could tolerate anything, but this was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
"Xiang Jin, is it? I'll make this clear today. Don't think that just because you married A Xiao, you've climbed the social ladder to the Murong family's wealth. Let me tell you, I haven't acknowledged you as my daughter-in-law yet."
"As long as I am alive, you will never set foot in the Murong family!"
"Oh? Murong family's daughter-in-law, since when did it become your place to make decisions?"
A familiar, muffled sound rang out, and Murong Xiao walked over slowly, blocking Xiang Jin's way: "Madam Murong, what right do you have to point fingers at my wife?"
Lin Anrong's face stiffened, and her expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.
Because of her adoptive parents' situation, they had fallen out with this son for many years, and she had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Murong family. However, it was still a bit of a slap in the face for him to say such things in front of so many people.
"Ah Xiao is here." Lin Anrong gave a dry laugh, her imposing manner immediately diminishing.
“I’m not trying to be bossy, it’s just that your wife is really not presentable. I’m only doing this for the sake of the Murong family…”
"The woman I, Murong Xiao, like, who dares to say she's not presentable?" He said each word with conviction.
Lin Anrong coughed twice, her expression somewhat unnatural: "Ah Xiao, she's been to prison and even killed Yi Fan. Even your grandfather wouldn't agree to you two being together."
"That's my business, Madam Murong. Don't you think you're meddling too much?"
Lin Anrong looked a little embarrassed: "Ah Xiao, do we really have to do this?"
"You should have expected this kind of consequence when you killed my adoptive parents."
"If I had known you were this kind of person, I shouldn't have brought you back to the Murong family in the first place! You ungrateful wretch!" Lin Anrong couldn't control her temper and started to turn hostile.
"You think I wanted to come back? If it weren't for the Murong family's wealth, would you have gone to such lengths to bring me back? And now it's my fault?"
"Smack—"
Lin Anren could no longer tolerate it and slapped Murong Xiao across the face.
"You unfilial son! How could I have given birth to such a beast as you, daring to talk back to your own mother!"
Murong Xiao sneered: "What kind of beautiful dream is Madam having? In my heart, you don't even deserve the word 'mother'."
"You, you, you unfilial son—"
Murong Xiao ignored her and took Xiang Jin's hand as they left the hospital.
Watching the two figures leave, Lin Anrong's headache flared up again, and she almost fainted to the ground.
Lu Yixuan quickly helped her sit down.
“Aunt Rong, don’t be angry. Brother Xiao didn’t mean to talk back to you. He’s had his moments of emotion before, but he’s never been like this before. I don’t know who instigated him.” Lu Yixuan said meaningfully.
"Who else could it be? It must be that bitch!" Lin Anrong became angrier the more she thought about it.
"Aunt Rong, don't be angry. Brother Xiao is just infatuated for a while. He'll get tired of it after a while. Then you can choose a daughter-in-law you like and bring her into the family. Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?"
"Please don't get angry, it's not worth ruining your health."
Lin Anrong nodded.
Yes, all we need to do is find a satisfactory daughter-in-law. Then she'll have to do whatever she says.
Perhaps it can even ease the relationship between mother and son, and I won't be so powerless in the Murong family anymore.
But where do you go to choose the right one?
Lin Anrong's gaze shifted and settled on Lu Yixuan.
She stroked Lu Yixuan's head, her eyes sparkling: "Yixuan, I would be so happy if A-Xiao married you."
Lu Yixuan was stunned, her face instantly turning bright red: "Aunt Rong, don't talk nonsense, Brother Xiao and I... we don't have that kind of meaning."
Do you like him?
Lu Yixuan lowered her head and nodded solemnly.
"That's good. Aunt Rong will definitely do her best to help you become a daughter-in-law of the Murong family as soon as possible." Lin Anrong's gaze became even more determined.
