Murong Xiao was silent for a moment: "Perhaps he's thinking about work."
Jiang Anqing nodded.
Jiang Anqing was unaware of Xiang Jin's resignation. Fearing that it would worry her and affect her health, they simply told her that she had only taken leave.
As Xiang Jin left the hospital, Jiang Anqing held Xiang Jin's hand, hesitant to speak, her eyes revealing a clear mother's concern for her daughter. She said, "Ah Jin, even when you're busy with work, you must take care of your health, you know? Nothing is more important than your health. Mom doesn't hope you achieve great things; Mom only hopes you're healthy and safe."
Xiang Jin lowered her head, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes, gently patted her hand, and then let go: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Take care of yourself. We'll come see you again tomorrow."
Then he left the hospital with Murong Xiao.
Jiang Anqing sighed as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
"What's wrong with Madam?" the caregiver asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel a bit resentful that fate has played a cruel trick on me."
"Don't overthink it. Who in this whole hospital is luckier than you? Not only are your daughter and son-in-law rich, but they're also so filial. You have no idea how envious everyone in the hospital is of you!" the caregiver said with a smile.
Jiang Anqing was somewhat depressed, an indescribable sense of guilt swirling in her heart, like a nightmare that had haunted her for years: "They are indeed very good, but... I shouldn't have this fate. I've done many wrong things."
Even if you do something wrong, they will forgive you.
"Really?" A glimmer of starlight appeared in Jiang Anqing's eyes, like a faint hope amidst despair.
“Really, you are mother and daughter after all. There’s no such thing as a mother and daughter holding a grudge overnight. Daughters are always their mothers’ little cotton-padded jackets, and they are the most considerate of their mothers’ hearts.” As she spoke, the caregiver began to talk about her little daughter, saying how cute and sensible she was. Jiang Anqing’s eyes gradually dimmed.
If only time could turn back...
She will never do such a thing again, and she will never let herself fall into hatred from which she cannot extricate herself.
But fate had other plans, and she no longer had the chance to start over. All she could do was try her best to make amends to Xiang Jin, hoping that she could spend the rest of her life in peace and never know the truth.
"Engineer Liu, let me take a walk on the seventh floor," Jiang Anqing said after a long while.
"Are you going to the seventh floor to find Aqi again? I must say, Aqi looks quite like Madam." Engineer Liu hurriedly went to get the trolley. She was unaware of the intricacies involved, let alone the relationship between Xiangqi and Xiangjin. She simply assumed that they had encountered someone who looked alike at the hospital.
"Yes, I never expected to meet someone who looks like Ah Jin. It's quite a coincidence... But don't tell them about this. I want to give them a surprise later."
"Understood, understood." Engineer Liu pushed Jiang Anqing into room 0712. Someone had angered Xiang Qi, who was now throwing a tantrum at the nurses, smashing everything inside and scattering medicines and tools all over the floor.
Several people tried to pull her away, but she broke free like a shrew, pointing her finger at the nurse and yelling, "Are you a dog? Calling someone a dog is an insult to dogs! Don't you know I use these hands to paint? You've stabbed them like this! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to murder me? Help! Help! Someone is abusing their power here!"
The nurse's face turned red with anxiety. She tearfully complained to the head nurse beside her, "I didn't do anything, I just gave her an IV drip, and she kept moving around, the pillow got crooked, and she even slapped me..."
The head nurse comforted her for a few moments, then went to persuade Xiang Qi. Xiang Qi, acting like a pampered young lady, looked at the head nurse smugly and refused to obediently get the injection.
Jiang Anqing sighed and slowly pushed her wheelchair inside, leaving the caregiver to wait for her outside.
"Aqi, listen to me, and get well soon." Jiang Anqing spoke as gently as ever.
Upon seeing her, Xiang Qi paused for a moment, then sneered, "Don't think you're more important than them. You're that little bitch's mother, so I'm even less likely to listen to you."
"Your aunt wouldn't hurt you, you know that."
Looking at Jiang Anqing's gentle yet firm face, Xiang Qi was stunned for a moment. She scoffed, put down the pillow in her hand, and lay down on the bed. Only then did the nurse go over to give her an injection and IV drip, all in one smooth motion.
"What are you doing here again?" she asked coldly.
This wasn't Jiang Anqing's first time here, but each time she came, she avoided Li Shuhui, keeping her company while peeling fruit and tucking her in. For example, right now, she was peeling fruit for her again, gently comforting her.
"I just came to see you; you've suffered."
"I am who I am today thanks to your daughter. Do you think you still need to act?" Since the drunk driving incident was exposed, she has suffered countless insults and contract breaches. In an instant, she fell from the bright stage to the mud. She hates Xiang Jin, hates Jiang Anqing, and hates everyone who caused all of this.
She believed Xiang Jin felt the same way.
Therefore, she couldn't understand Jiang Anqing's behavior. She and Jiang Anqing's daughter were mortal enemies, so why would Jiang Anqing come here to curry favor with her?
Why would she do something so thankless and exhausting?
“Aqi, don’t get angry over these unrelated things. Ajin… is just feeling resentful and indignant. You two grew up together, you should get along well, don’t act like enemies, okay?”
Xiang Qi sneered: "Jiang Anqing, do you even believe these words yourself?"
Jiang Anqing fell silent.
She picked up an orange from the table, peeled it segment by segment, carefully removing the white pith from the peel, and then placed it on a plate and handed it to Xiang Qi: "As long as you can let go of anything, there will be a day when the clouds part and the moon shines through. I believe that's true for you too."
Xiang Qi was stunned. Even Li Shuhui didn't know that Bai Jingluo didn't like eating oranges. How did she know?
She quickly came to her senses and, remembering Jiang Anqing's words, burst into wild laughter: "Jiang Anqing, open your dog eyes and see who those two people standing outside are! Once I'm cured, I'll be immediately sent to prison, and my life will be ruined. All thanks to your own daughter. Do you think I'll ever see the light at the end of the tunnel?"
“Ah Jin has also suffered a lot because of you.”
"That's her own fault, that's her lowly nature!" Xiang Qi said viciously. "I am the daughter of the Xiang family, and she is a dog of the Xiang family. What right does she have to compete with me? She was born to suffer for me, born to live in the gutter, and born to be inferior to me!"
But now she not only lives a better life than me, but she has also married the richest man in China and become Mrs. Murong, whom everyone envies. What makes her so special?
All of this originally belonged to Xiang Qi!
Xiang Jin stole her life, Xiang Jin stole her happiness!
How could she accept this!
“Aqi, Ajin isn’t a dog, you shouldn’t talk to her like that.”
