Chapter 118 The Future Mother-in-Law Slaps the Former Mother-in-Law's Mouth Off
Xiang Jingheng wanted to find Gan Xiaoxing and ask her what exactly happened tonight!
But when they arrived at the orthopedic hospital, Xiang Jingheng sat in the car and didn't want to get in.
It's pointless to ask, even if you know the answer.
Gan Xiaoxing will not admit it. Not only will she not admit it, but she is also very likely to turn the tables and make black out of white.
She's always been a woman of empty words; she'll tell any lie or fabrication to achieve her goals.
Xiang Jingheng grew up with Gan Xiaoxing, so how could he not know what kind of person she is?
They used to be in the same boat, and Gan Xiaoxing always sided with him and protected him. With her charging ahead, it really saved him a lot of trouble.
When she stabbed someone in the back, because it didn't affect his interests, he turned a blind eye and let it all go.
But now, Gan Xiaoxing's knife is being used to stab him and Xiang Chu, and Xiang Jingheng is finally feeling the pain.
Sure enough, only the one who gets stabbed by the knife knows the pain.
Then why doesn't he feel pain for Yu Yan?
Is his love for Yu Yan really just a self-indulgent sentimentality based on weighing the pros and cons?
Or... he simply doesn't have a heart and can't love.
Xiang Jingheng lit a cigarette and smoked it for a long time under the cover of night, as the sky gradually turned a pale white.
This dark night is finally over.
Daylight broke.
As soon as Yu Yan opened her eyes, she was met with a smiling, kind face. "Xiao Yan, you're awake."
"Qiu, Aunt Qiu?"
Yu Yan did indeed wake up.
What's Aunt Qiu doing here?
Madam Shao's original surname was Wen, and her given name was Wen Shiyan. Qiuqiu was her nickname. In the past, when they lived in the same courtyard, everyone called her "Xiao Qiu". People who didn't know her would think that her original surname was Qiu.
The names of the three Shao brothers were chosen by Chairman Shao based on his wife's name.
Shao Muwen, Shao Mushi, Shao Muyan.
Most people try for a third child in hopes of having a son. Mrs. Shao was disappointed with her first two pregnancies, which resulted in sons. She desperately wanted a daughter, so she gritted her teeth and got pregnant again. But when the baby was born, it turned out to be a boy.
When Shao Muyan was born, Madam Shao cried in the delivery room and asked the doctor if she could put the baby back in so she could give birth again.
Why is it that other women can have daughters, while she has three sons in a row?
Miss Wen was very dissatisfied!
In the end, it was only because the third son was as handsome as a girl that she reluctantly accepted him, and from then on, she stopped having children.
The obstetrician who delivered her baby was Yu Yan's aunt. She would laugh whenever she talked about it. Yu Yan had heard these stories since she was a child and knew them like the back of her hand.
"I asked Lao Lin to make you some bone broth. The oil has been skimmed off several times. You need to eat something light when you're sick, but you still need to nourish yourself. Your body is too weak."
From the moment Yu Yan woke up, Mrs. Shao kept talking. Not only did she bring so many tonics that filled the ward, but she also went to the Lin family's courtyard to ask Chef Lin and his wife to prepare some refreshing side dishes for Yu Yan.
This sentiment alone deeply moved Yu Yan.
Yu Yan thanked them repeatedly and obediently drank the soup. Madam Shao sat by the bedside and ate her hospital meal with her. The two chatted as they ate, and Yu Yan didn't feel awkward at all.
Mrs. Shao's personality is very similar to Shao Min's; both are straightforward and cheerful, making it easy for people to relax.
“When I called the third brother, he was about to take off his clothes to take a shower.”
Madam Shao held a piece of brown sugar steamed cake in her hand and chuckled, "Although his face is already haggard, he's still handsome. Those pectoral muscles, abs, wow, they're comparable to his father's when he was young."
The ribs that Yu Yan was holding with her chopsticks fell into the bowl with a "plop".
She was feeling apologetic, after all, any mother would feel heartbroken to see her son in such a state, but before she could apologize, Madam Shao's next words abruptly changed the tone of the conversation.
Yu Yan blushed.
Madam Shao saw through her and called her out, "Why are you blushing? It's not like we can't talk about this. Haven't you seen the third son's body before?"
Yu Yan almost choked and quickly waved her hands: "No, of course not..."
"You two live under the same roof, and you don't have any problems? Ah Yan is hiding his true colors too well. It's his problem."
Mrs. Shao immediately shifted the blame to her son, saying with a look of disdain, "All the men in the Shao family are like this, the repressed type. The second son is a bit better; he's quite open-minded around his wife. The third son has been conservative since he was little; he always dresses very formally, buttoning up the top button of his shirt and not letting anyone see his collarbone. He's so stingy. You tell me, I raised them to be so beautiful precisely so that people could see them?"
Yu Yan couldn't help but laugh; Aunt Qiu's words were too funny.
A repressed passion...
I wonder what Uncle Yan's expression would be if he heard his mother use that word to describe him.
But as I laughed, a feeling of heaviness crept into my heart again.
The Shao family is a very upright family, and they are very united and loving. Everyone in the family has a very good personality. Uncle Yan is a very good person, and Aunt Qiu is also a very good person.
In the future, Uncle Yan will find a wonderful girl, and they will start their own family. She will also be able to integrate into the Shao family. With a kind mother-in-law like Aunt Qiu, that girl will definitely be very happy.
All she could do was offer her heartfelt blessings from afar.
Just after they finished eating, Shao Muyan called to ask if they had ordered food, saying he would send some over.
"No need, we've already finished eating."
Mrs. Shao said, "You go about your business. I don't have anything to do these days, so I'll take care of Xiaoyan."
Yu Yan's eyes widened upon hearing this. "I don't need Aunt Qiu. A caregiver will take care of me. I'm fine and will be discharged in a couple of days."
"It's okay, you don't need to feel burdened."
Mrs. Shao left her son aside and said to Yu Yan, "I'm helping Xiaomin take care of the child, and I'm also craving Chef Lin's cooking. As soon as he heard you were hospitalized, he immediately made a medicinal diet recipe for you. The medicinal diet made by Mr. and Mrs. Lin is absolutely amazing. They never make it normally. Yunyun and I have to come and freeload. Please don't mind us."
"..."
After she said that, what else could Yu Yan say? In terms of emotional intelligence, even if Yu Yan used all her wits, she was no match for Madam Shao, so she could only politely decline.
Shao Muyan went to the lab to arrange some things this morning and didn't come to the hospital.
After the hospital rounds, Mrs. Shao asked the attending physician about some specific matters. Mrs. Shao said that when it came to serious matters, he was completely different from when he was joking around.
She asked very detailed questions, and even considered taking her to the capital for recuperation in case of any aftereffects. Only after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong did she temporarily give up the idea.
As Yu Yan listened in the hospital room, she felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
I thought of my mother.
Afraid that Madam Shao would notice something, she quickly wiped the corner of her eye.
The lab assistants and students all came to see Yu Yan. Mrs. Shao warmly invited them to sit down, just like Yu Yan's mother, making everyone feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Yu Yan, with an IV drip in her arm, meticulously arranged her work.
Madam Shao stood aside watching this scene, her eyes full of admiration, even a little proud. As expected of the child she had watched grow up, he was truly wonderful!
A commotion suddenly broke out at the ward entrance, with people shouting and trying to force their way in.
Everyone looked over, and Yu Yan frowned.
Madam Shao walked towards the door and saw a group of people standing in the corridor. She knew that the visitors were up to no good.
Her gaze fell on Mrs. Xiang. "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I am Xiang Chu's grandmother and Xiang Jingheng's mother! Yu Yan, that shameless woman, pushed my grandson into the water. I came here to ask her if she, as a mother, had any conscience. How could she be so vicious!"
Mrs. Xiang bared her teeth and brandished her claws, while Mrs. Shao narrowed her eyes coldly, "Oh, so you're Xiao Yan's former mother-in-law. You really are an old witch."
"Who are you calling an old witch?"
Mrs. Xiang seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and she immediately exploded, unable to hide her shrewish nature. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward when she was stopped by the Shao family's bodyguards.
Madam Shao pushed the bodyguard aside, "Don't stop her, let her come over."
Mrs. Xiang raised an eyebrow and asked, "And who are you?"
Yu Yan, supporting her weak body, was helped off the bed by her assistant, when she heard Madam Shao say firmly, "I am her mother."
"..." Yu Yan was stunned.
Mrs. Xiang scoffed, "Didn't her mother die a long time ago?"
"Smack!"
Madam Shao slapped Mrs. Xiang's mouth shut with a chop to the bone, "Who did you say died?"
