Chapter 666 Burns
"Mumu, hold on tight."
"Mumu, even if I die today, I will be satisfied."
"Mumu, move."
······
The low moaning sound Leng Jun had made in her ear last night suddenly rang in her ears, making Xiang Zhimu feel hot all over. In resistance, she kicked Li Jing in the lower abdomen, keeping a distance from him and not touching him.
"Li Jing, this is what a doctor should do. If you have any questions, we can talk to the doctor later."
She sat on the bed and moved back a little to keep a distance from him, her whole body in a state of alert.
"It's getting late, pack up and go next door."
It means unwilling.
She didn't want any physical contact with him.
Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Zhi Mu, if my illness is cured and my mother's problem is solved, will you and I be a real couple?"
Xiang Zhimu still didn't give a direct answer: "You should solve these things first."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to give Li Jing any chance, but Li Jing has disappointed her so much in the past few days that she doesn’t think he can solve her mother’s problem.
Sure enough, Zhang Fanghua did not make a big fuss and left in anger that day, but the next day she swaggered into the house under the pretext of cooking for her son. She did not even turn on the range hood and cooked directly in the semi-open kitchen, which was filled with smoke.
Xiang Zhimu, who was drawing a design in the room with the door closed, was choked by the chili pepper and came out. The smoke alarm outside was blaring. When she came out and saw the thick smoke in the living room, she almost thought the house was on fire. It turned out that Zhang Fanghua was cooking Sichuan cuisine in the kitchen.
"Auntie, is the range hood broken? Why don't you turn it on?"
She asked, suppressing her anger.
Zhang Fanghua seemed not to hear it.
She had no choice but to cover her mouth and nose and go into the kitchen to turn on the range hood herself.
"what you do?!"
Zhang Fanghua immediately became angry and pushed her away, and ended up pushing her towards the gas stove with a low flame. Xiang Zhimu's forearm was burned, and she couldn't help but let out a scream of pain.
Zhang Fanghua panicked, but still said in a bad tone, "Don't blame me for this. You're the one meddling in other people's business. I came here to cook for you out of kindness, don't be ungrateful."
Xiang Zhimu staggered and pressed his arm to the faucet to rinse with cold water to cool down. His brows were furrowed and he gritted his teeth in pain.
Zhang Fanghua continued to sneer, "It's just a burn, why are you being so pretentious? Do you really need to go to the hospital?"
She really has to go to the hospital.
Besides, what did she mean by "only burned"? She had just been exposed to open flames and boiling water, and the wound was already bloody and mangled.
Xiang Zhimu endured the pain, ignored Zhang Fanghua's noisy voice, picked up his bag and walked towards the door, intending to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
But Zhang Fanghua pulled her hard, and she pulled the part where she was burned.
Her sudden scream startled Zhang Fanghua again, and she immediately let go of her hand and pulled her other arm: "You really need to go to the hospital."
Xiang Zhimu looked at the evil mother-in-law with cold eyes: "Don't worry, I have my own money for medical treatment and I won't use a single cent of your son's money."
After saying that, she waved her hand and left.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Fanghua was knocked to the ground by her.
Then Zhang Fanghua's painful howls erupted from the living room: "Ouch, it hurts so much! My waist hurts so much! Oh my God, you found me such a ruinous daughter-in-law! I came here to cook for her out of kindness, and this is how she treats me! Ouch, my waist—!"
Xiang Zhimu was very sure that she had fallen down because she had taken advantage of her trick. She just wanted to wave her hand away, and that little force would not have caused her to fall like that.
But now that it has come to this, she must call an ambulance first. Regardless of whether Zhang Fanghua did it on purpose or not, she cannot explain herself if something happens to her.
Sure enough, after Li Jing got the news and rushed to the hospital, the first thing he said when he saw Xiang Zhimu was, "What did you do to my mother?"
Xiang Zhimu felt a little disappointed, but she had just run around for Zhang Fanghua, and the injury on her arm had not been treated yet. She was in so much pain that she was not in the mood to explain.
Looking at Li Jing's expression, he wouldn't believe her even if she explained.
"Go and see her."
She said this coldly and went out to find the burn department.
"Sister Mumu."
When she walked to the lobby downstairs, she met Leng Shaoai who was carrying an insulated box. Next to her stood a woman who looked somewhat similar to her. She looked gentle and steady, but her slightly round and charming almond-shaped eyes were cunning like a cat, very smart, and very much like Shen Weiyang she saw yesterday.
Xiang Zhimu stopped awkwardly and greeted them: "Xiao Ai."
Leng Shaoai handed the thermal box to Leng Yiyi, then carefully held her arm and said distressedly: "Sister Mumu, what's wrong with you? Why is your arm so burned?"
Family disgrace should not be made public, especially after she knew that the other party was Leng Jun's sister, she could not open her heart to her and just perfunctorily said that she was scalded while cooking.
Leng Shaoai immediately felt distressed and wanted to take her to see a doctor: "Sister, please send the food to big brother. I will take Sister Mu Mu to find a small table. There are so many people. If she has to wait in line, how long will she be in pain?"
The person sitting at the small table is Zhuo Qiaochu, the son of Zhuo Tingfeng and Wei Lan. He is about the same age as Leng Shaoai, but has inherited his parents' talents. He has now completed his studies and is the youngest doctor of medicine. He has also started to get involved in the Zhuo family's business.
Xiang Zhimu didn't dress up today and was dressed very casually. Leng Yiyi just thought she was Leng Shaoai's friend, so she greeted her coldly and left with the thermal box.
Leng Yiyi's indifference was in stark contrast to Leng Shaoai's enthusiasm, and was also different from Shen Weiyang's attitude yesterday. Xiang Zhimu was a little worried that everyone in the Leng family knew about her and Leng Jun's affair.
She didn't want to be so embarrassed.
So he asked Leng Shaoai: "Xiao Ai, does your sister not like me very much?"
Leng Shaoai took her to Zhuo Qiaochu's office and asked curiously, "Why do you ask that? My sister really likes beautiful women. How could she not like you?"
As she spoke, she thought that Xiang Zhimu might have misunderstood Leng Yiyi's cold attitude just now, so she immediately explained.
"She's just been in a bad mood lately. My eldest brother is always against her. They basically quarrel whenever they meet. Last night, my eldest brother was beaten half to death while kneeling in the ancestral hall. Today, my mother asked her to cook for him. She said she would be better off dead, but my mother scolded her again. That's why she's in a bad mood."
Leng Jun was beaten half to death while kneeling in the ancestral hall?
Is it because of her?
Xiang Zhimu felt a little uncomfortable.
She knew that this was what the bully Leng Jun deserved, and she did feel relieved, but there was also an inexplicable feeling of discomfort lingering in her heart.
