Renhe Hospital
Lu Ruoyu lazily reclined on the chair in front of Old Madam Qin's bed, peeling an apple, ignoring Old Madam Qin's mood, and kept asking:
"Grandma, do you have an ideal granddaughter-in-law in mind? Look at me, I think there is no girl in the world more suitable for Third Brother than me."
"Ruoyu, whether it's suitable or not isn't something you can decide on your own. You can't force matters of the heart; you have to be able to let go as well as take it. Beibei already has someone else in her heart, so why make yourself suffer?"
Old Madam Qin had long since decided that Ling Mo was her granddaughter-in-law, but now, after being pestered by Lu Ruoyu for so long, she was so annoyed that she was about to curse.
Lu Ruoyu was completely unaware of what Old Madam Qin was thinking. At this moment, she was still immersed in the beautiful dream she had woven over many years, and was full of anticipation for her grand wedding with Qin Beiming.
Upon hearing Old Madam Qin state bluntly that Qin Beiming already had someone else in his heart, she frowned, leaned forward abruptly, and asked anxiously:
"Grandma, is what you're saying true? I did hear people say that Third Brother seemed to have been bewitched by a vixen. I thought he was just playing around, but I didn't expect that you would find out about it too."
"Silly child, why would I lie to you? Besides, the girl Beibei has in her heart is not some vixen. She is kind and sensible, and quite lovable."
Madam Qin was fiercely protective of her own. If anyone said anything bad about Ling Mo, she would react as if her life was in danger and would always want to fight them.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Ruoyu completely misunderstood the meaning behind Old Madam Qin's words, and even completely misinterpreted them, happily saying:
"Grandma is so funny, she's praising me in a roundabout way! I never imagined that the girl my third brother has in his heart is me. But that's normal, my third brother is a very steady person, he won't easily say it even if he likes someone. In that case, I'll take care of the confession, the love proposal, and even the marriage proposal."
"???"
Madam Qin's lips twitched violently; she never expected Lu Ruoyu to be so narcissistic.
The kind, sensible, and lovable girl she was referring to wasn't Lu Ruoyu. I really don't know why Lu Ruoyu is so happy about it.
Could it be that Lu Ruoyu has some kind of cognitive impairment regarding her own personality?
"Grandma, actually, before I came to see you, I secretly did something. Would you like to hear me tell you about it?"
Lu Ruoyu, thinking herself very clever and charming, didn't wait for Old Madam Qin to reply before taking out her phone and speaking to herself:
"Before I came here, I unexpectedly discovered that the high-class green tea who once seduced my third brother was trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. So I spent 100,000 yuan to hire professional online trolls to fabricate a lot of dirt on her. This time, no matter how cunning she is, she probably can't clear her name. Grandma, didn't I do a good job? This way, you won't have to worry about my third brother being seduced by this low-class green tea and needlessly damaging the harmony between you and your grandson."
Old Madam Qin narrowed her eyes, quickly glancing at the overwhelming negative comments about Ling Mo on her phone screen, and was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
In that instant, she no longer cared about appearances, abruptly sitting up in bed, shoving Lu Ruoyu, who was leaning close to her, aside, and coldly saying:
"You stupid and wicked thing, who gave you permission to bully my granddaughter-in-law like this?"
"Grandma, you..."
Lu Ruoyu hadn't expected Old Madam Qin to have such a strong grip. With that push, she lost her balance and fell to the ground in a disheveled state, staring blankly at Old Madam Qin, whose face was now contorted with anger.
It took her a while to realize that the kind, sensible, and lovable girl that Old Madam Qin had mentioned was not her, but the "skilled" Ling Mo.
"Miss Lu, the old lady needs to rest. Please leave."
Hearing the commotion inside, Uncle Liu, who was guarding the door, went straight into the ward and bluntly told Lu Ruoyu to leave.
"I..."
Lu Ruoyu bit her lower lip indignantly, still thinking of saying something, but she saw that Old Madam Qin seemed to completely ignore her existence, only focusing on holding her phone and "arguing" with professional trolls online, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
She originally thought that with the friendship between the Qin and Lu families, the position of the Qin family matriarch would surely be hers.
Now that she realized that Old Madam Qin had already regarded Ling Mo as her future granddaughter-in-law, Lu Ruoyu instantly became alert.
Under these circumstances, she estimated that the only way to successfully marry into the Qin family was to either get ahead of Ling Mo and force the issue as soon as possible, or to get pregnant with Qin Beiming's child as soon as possible.
But how do you cook raw rice into cooked rice?
Lu Ruoyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she silently left the ward, already pondering how to win over Qin Beiming.
If ordinary methods don't work, she doesn't mind using some auxiliary drugs or props to make him willingly take the bait...
Qin Beiming spotted Lu Ruoyu standing dumbfounded in front of the ward from afar, but he didn't react at all, pretending not to see her. After entering the ward, he casually locked the door to prevent the clueless Lu Ruoyu from following him in.
Hearing the noise, Madam Qin, who was busy responding to netizens, only glanced up before quickly lowering her head again, focusing intently on her work.
Seeing this, Qin Beiming stepped forward and waved the still-warm fried chicken family bucket in front of Old Madam Qin, saying calmly:
"Feeling down? You're not even eating fried chicken?"
"Mo Bao'er is trending on social media for being criticized, how can I possibly eat?" Old Madam Qin pouted, getting angrier as she spoke. "I really don't know what's wrong with these keyboard warriors on the internet! They have nothing better to do than spread rumors and hurl insults everywhere."
