Xiao Wu paused for a moment while carrying the water, then shook her head, her voice a little hoarse: "No."
Grandma Zhan hummed in agreement, looking quite pleased with her, and said, "Sigh, I have a grandson who's handsome and has a good job, but even at his age, he's still so clueless. I think you're a good girl; I'll arrange for you two to meet later..."
Xiao Wu seemed to have snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Comrade Zhan is such an outstanding person, how could I possibly be worthy of him..."
If Grandma Zhan hadn't been listening so attentively, she probably would have missed the sarcasm hidden in that gentle tone. But she pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "You're so beautiful, you have a good job, and you know how to take care of people. You'll marry Yuan An in the future, and you can just stay home and serve him well..."
Xiao Wu seemed to be losing control of his emotions, and could only grit his teeth and say, "Grandma Zhan has finished her medicine. I have other patients to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After she left, Grandma Zhan sneered. They're all old foxes, trying to play tricks on me. No matter what this little Wu is up to, she'll expose him. For elders, their youngest son and eldest grandson are their lifeblood.
Zhan Yuan'an was the one Grandma Zhan valued the most.
Now they've actually drugged her grandson; this is intolerable!
Xiao Wu initially thought that Grandma Zhan's idea was just a sudden whim, but what Grandma Zhan did next was really outrageous. Everyone in the hospital knew that Grandma Zhan had taken a liking to Xiao Wu as her granddaughter-in-law. Grandma Zhan was a good person, and everyone praised Xiao Wu for finding a good husband.
But what does it mean to be gentle yet barbed? Grandma Zhan would smile and say things that were simply unbearable. The implication was that it was your good fortune that the Zhan family thought highly of you and that you were lucky to be served by us.
She is a prime example of a wicked mother-in-law.
Grandma Zhan was having a blast at the hospital, outsmarting everyone. Fan Xiaofan learned about Grandma Zhan's hospitalization from Zhan Yuan'an, and out of gratitude for the care she received from her childhood, Fan Xiaofan decided to go and visit her.
Hospital.
Nurses' office.
If at first everyone thought Xiao Wu was lucky to have turned her life around, now there's a hint of envy. Grandma Zhan has been so good to Xiao Wu, yet Xiao Wu hasn't given a straight answer, clearly just waiting to see what happens.
This was unbearable for everyone. With such good conditions, you're still being picky? You must be looking at the sky with your eyes...
They wish they could be chosen by such a good family.
But they had no idea that Xiao Wu had absolutely no intention of marrying Zhan Yuan'an. In fact, she only had one thought: to kill him so that she could quell the hatred in her heart.
While Xiao Wu was preparing the medicine, he overheard a nurse returning from her rounds deliberately saying, "Oh dear, it's Xiao Wu's fault for being so ungrateful. He's been unwilling to give Grandma Zhan a straight answer. I just came from the ward, and I don't know which woman went to see Grandma Zhan, but she was so happy. She was laughing non-stop and seemed to be enjoying herself immensely. You know, some people just end up hanging on and hanging on until they're completely empty."
Xiao Wu silently accepted the medication and turned to leave from the nurses' station.
The nurse behind her curled her lip: "What's so smug about her? She still rushes over as soon as she hears the news. But, do you know how she got into our nursing department?"
The others looked at her in confusion upon hearing this.
