When Dong Jiaxue and Mrs. Dong hurried back to the ward, the doctor was examining Dong Siqing who had just woken up.
"Mom." Seeing the dusty Mrs. Dong through the crowd, Dong Siqing felt a surge of grievances in her heart, her voice was slightly hoarse and had a hint of crying.
Finally hearing the familiar voice, Mrs. Dong's eyes blurred uncontrollably. She staggered to Dong Siqing's bed and tried to hug her in her arms with trembling hands; but her movements were obviously cautious.
"Mrs. Dong, the eldest lady is recovering well, but you still need to pay attention to the wound and make sure it doesn't get infected. It's best not to get out of bed and move around, and don't let your emotions fluctuate too much."
When the woman heard the voice, she looked and saw that it was the doctor who had reminded her that she was being cautious. She quickly calmed down and stood up to thank the doctor. The joy on her face was obvious to the naked eye. Even though she was talking to the doctor about the girl's physical condition, she never let go of Dong Siqing's hand.
Behind the crowd, Dong Jiaxue watched the scene in front of her coldly. Her hand holding the bag strap clenched uncontrollably until her nails dug into her palm and she felt pain. Only then did she slowly calm down and loosen her fingers.
The crowd dispersed, and Dong Siqing finally saw Chen Xu lying on the bed with his eyes still closed. She choked up and asked, looking towards Mrs. Dong: "Mom, how is Brother Xu?"
When Chen Xu was mentioned, Mrs. Dong's mood darkened again. She smoothed the girl's hair that fell between her eyebrows and said softly, "Good girl, your brother Xu is fine. He just has a serious leg injury. Don't worry! He will definitely wake up soon. He cares about you so much, how could he bear to leave you alone here bored?"
The mother and daughter were chatting so intimately that they seemed to have forgotten the presence of someone at the door. Dong Jiaxue just stood there silently, watching the loving mother and filial son. After a long time, she slowly walked to the sofa and sat down silently, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Dong Siqing had an inexplicable cruelty.
As Dong Jiaxue moved, Dong Siqing finally became aware of her presence, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she grabbed Madam Dong's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I've been lying down for so long, I'm so thirsty!"
Hearing her daughter acting so coquettishly, the loving mother couldn't bear it anymore. She turned around and was about to pour water for the girl, but when her eyes met the scarred hands holding her tightly, she felt a pang of heartache again. She turned her face away and suppressed the pain in her heart. Before she could fully digest her emotions, she caught a glimpse of Dong Jiaxue sitting comfortably on the sofa. Thinking of what Helian Rui had said to her before, her face suddenly turned bad, and she shouted coldly at the innocent girl, "Dong Jiaxue, didn't you hear Siqing talking? You're sitting there like a log! You don't even bother to pour water for your sister?"
The two contrasting attitudes really made Dong Jiaxue feel a pang of pain in her heart. Looking at the person lying on the bed, staring at her with a mocking look, she felt that she had nowhere to escape. This kind of look had never appeared on Dong Siqing before. Even Jiang Luoning and Axing in the monitoring room were frightened.
Seeing Dong Jiaxue still pretending to be calm and serving the girl on the bed who kept giving orders as obediently as usual, Mrs. Dong finally managed to smile. She then called Aunt Mei and asked her to prepare the girl's favorite food.
Mrs. Dong, who was accompanying Dong Siqing, was always paying attention to the girl's emotions. During the conversation, she would occasionally mention that the reporters and media outside had been making up some unrealistic news recently. Dong Siqing did not think anything was unusual when she heard it, nor did she ask curiously. Instead, she put on a righteous look and comforted her mother.
"Mom, don't you know about those media reporters? Give him one person, and he can make up a story about his three lives and three rebirths without repeating himself. Don't care what they say. As long as you, me, and Brother Xu are well and together as a family, that's all that matters! Why bother with those Linyan Feiyu? Even if what they say is true, what does it matter to them? How we live is none of their business!"
After hearing Dong Siqing's words, Mrs. Dong was obviously relieved. Seeing that the girl's emotions were not affected at all, she hugged the girl tightly in her arms again.
"My dear, I'm afraid you'll be sad after reading the news!"
Noticing that the woman's voice was trembling slightly, Dong Siqing knew that her plan had worked, so she raised her hand and patted Mrs. Dong's back, still speaking softly, but her words did give enough comfort to the person she was speaking to. While speaking, she also deliberately looked at Dong Jiaxue who was tidying up debris beside the trash can with her back to her.
"I won't, mom. No matter what they say or write, as long as I know that mom and brother love me the most, that's all I care about! Identity, status, or relationships, I don't care!"
"Okay, okay, okay! My dear daughter, mommy knew you were the most obedient!" Maybe she was really comforted by Dong Siqing's words. She said "okay" three times in a row, and the joy on her face could no longer be suppressed.
Ever since she received the call from Dong Siqing, Mrs. Dong's mood has been very complicated. She was happy that the girl finally woke up and was fine; but she was even more worried. She was afraid that the girl would see the overwhelming discussion about her identity on the Internet. She was even more afraid that the arrogant and willful Dong Siqing would be angry with her and ignore her, or even want her. But until what the girl said just now, she finally felt relieved of her anxiety.
The scene seen in the surveillance video gave people a weird feeling. On one side, there was a loving mother and a filial son, which was extremely warm; on the other side, Dong Jiaxue was standing alone with the trash can, which seemed particularly ironic.
Ah Xing was also really confused by Dong Siqing's sudden confession. It was as if this girl had been possessed by someone else, a stranger that he had never met before. Glancing at Jiang Luoning, who was smiling beside him, he was even more surprised. He could only look at Fu Linxiao for help, only to see that his brows were furrowed in thought. However, the young man still gently bumped the man's shoulder and asked softly, "Brother-in-law, do you feel that Dong Siqing is like a different person?"
Fu Linxiao did not show any special emotion, but just looked at Jiang Luoning with burning eyes, and then patiently explained to the young man.
"Knowing that someone is trying to snatch her identity as the eldest daughter of the Dong family, do you think she will just sit there and wait for death? After all, she grew up in an aristocratic family, so she must understand some things!"
"Ah? You mean Dong Siqing knew about it? That's not right! But, but she just woke up! I made sure she couldn't hear the sounds around her when she was unconscious!" Ah Xing was still a little bit unbelievable. After all, after feeding the girl the pill, she had never left their sight. He really couldn't figure out when Dong Siqing found out about this.
"I guess there will be something interesting to watch next!"
Before Fu Linxiao could answer the boy's words, he was interrupted by Jiang Luoning. Fu Linxiao understood that the little girl was deliberately trying to keep Ah Xing from knowing that she was teasing her, so he didn't respond and just nodded in agreement.
Ah Xing looked around helplessly, but no one responded to his gaze, so he could only review everything that had just happened in his mind.
