Chapter 290 Regret (Page 1/2)
Ling Fei couldn't help but think that if Ye Lan really wasn't her biological mother, she would definitely ask her to return the two hundred yuan after she was discharged from the hospital.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something: "Aunt, why did my aunt marry to another province? And she hasn't been back for several years."
Zhao Hongmei's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she replied, "Because the journey is so long, it's very inconvenient to go back and forth. If we take the train back to Beijing with the whole family, it will not only take a long time, but also cost a lot of money."
Ling Fei asked with some confusion: "Aunt, has my aunt already severed ties with her family?"
Zhao Hongmei quickly denied it: "No! How could that be?"
Ling Fei then asked, "Then why did she marry so far away? I remember grandma once said that my aunt was a very obedient child."
Faced with Ling Fei's barrage of questions, Zhao Hongmei was speechless, unsure how to respond. She wasn't sure how to explain her sister-in-law to Ling Fei. Now that Ling Fei was married, there was no need to dwell on the past; doing so would only cause unrest in several families.
So, Zhao Hongmei quickly changed the subject: "Okay, Feifei, stop talking about your aunt. Let's talk about your current situation.
How are you feeling today? Are you feeling better? The bleeding should have subsided, right?
"The bleeding isn't that severe anymore, but I do have a little stomachache now and then. The doctor said I should wait a few more days."
"It's good that nothing's wrong. Just hold on for a few more months, and it will be safe once the baby is born."
"Aunt, I've been lying in bed for a whole day and night. I wanted to get out of bed and walk around, but the doctor wouldn't let me. I feel so uncomfortable and bored all over."
"There's nothing we can do about it. The doctor told you to lie down for a few days and go back if there's no bleeding.
By the way, when you go back, will you live in the new house or move back to live with your mother-in-law?"
Ling Fei grumbled, "My parents-in-law didn't let us move back. Huo Qingyan said we'd already moved out, so it would be awkward to go back. He said it was like playing house."
"In that case, from now on, you should wait for Qingyan to come back before taking a bath, and let him watch you bathe."
"Aunt, next time I take a shower, I'll move a chair in so I can sit on it and not fall. Qingyan said that from now on, I'll wash my hair at noon and he'll help me wash it, and I'll take a shower at night when he's home."
Zhao Hongmei stayed with Ling Fei in the hospital for two hours, and then left when Xiao Ya returned. When she got home, she went to her parents-in-law's room first.
"Mom, this is bad. Ling Fei is starting to doubt her own life experience."
Old Madam Ye looked at Zhao Hongmei in surprise. "What did you say? Feifei is starting to doubt her background? What does Ye Lan do for a living? She did it herself. Why would she tell Feifei about it?"
"Mom, it wasn't Ye Lan who said that. It was Feifei who started to doubt it herself. She even said that my sister-in-law married far away in another province and hasn't come back for several years. Has she cut off contact with us?"
"Yuanyuan has come back before, she just doesn't come back often. Tell me, why did Feifei suddenly doubt her background?"
"I don't know either. She suddenly became suspicious. Feifei even suspected that she was the product of incest between her sister-in-law and Ling Zhigao."
“Nonsense…”
"Mom, should we tell Feifei about her life story? If we don't, she'll keep imagining things."
"It's been so many years since the incident happened. If it were to be brought up again, it would be very difficult for both sisters."
"Mom, your daughter borrowed two hundred yuan from Feifei a while ago, and yesterday at the hospital she asked her in-laws to compensate Feifei for three hundred yuan."
"Is Lanlan crazy? How can she have the nerve to ask her in-laws for compensation? If they do this, won't Feifei be unable to gain a foothold in the Huo family?
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have left Feifei in their care."
Old Mrs. Ye was really regretting now, regretting that she shouldn't have let her little daughter go to the Ling family to help.

If Yuanyuan had not had the accident, she would not have to marry far away, and the two sisters would not have had any contact with each other until they died.
Ling Fei stayed in the hospital for a week, and the doctor, seeing that she was not seriously ill, arranged for her to be discharged. Huo Qingyan even borrowed a car to take her home.
When Ling Fei returned home, she saw a strange woman sitting in the living room as soon as she entered the door. Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought Huo Qingyan was cheating on her.
"Huo Qingyan!" she roared in anger, "Who is this lesbian?"
Huo Qingyan, who was putting away his luggage, heard the voice and hurried out to explain, "Her name is Zhao Xiaoxia. She's the nanny my boss arranged for our family."
Ling Fei frowned and asked, "What nanny? How come I don't know?"
Huo Qingyan sighed and patiently explained, "You fell and were hospitalized earlier. I explained our family situation to my boss, and he was worried that it would affect my work, so he specially helped us find someone to take care of you and the child."
Ling Fei was still a little worried and asked, "Didn't you say before that you would ask Si Jie to help?"
Huo Qingyan shook his head helplessly. "Si Jie is not available right now. She's been busy with performances lately and can't spare the time."
At this time, the woman called Zhao Xiaoxia came over and introduced herself enthusiastically: "Sister Ling, hello, I am your family's nanny.
I can cook, clean, and take care of children. I raised all my brothers and sisters, so I have a lot of experience!"
Ling Fei couldn't help but frown as she looked at the woman in front of her who was a head taller than her.
This woman looks quite old, so why does she call herself "Sister Ling"?
Suddenly, Ling Fei remembered something. When she was in the art troupe, she heard her colleagues talk about how the nanny at her grandfather's house actually climbed into her grandfather's bed and eventually became her step-grandmother.
Thinking of this, Ling Fei felt a sense of foreboding. Could it be that Zhao Xiaoxia was also planning the same thing? Was she harboring ill intentions towards Huo Qingyan?
Ling Fei pulled Huo Qingyan back to the room with an unhappy look on her face, while Zhao Xiaoxia was busy packing her luggage outside.
Ling Fei asked Huo Qingyan, "How old is Zhao Xiaoxia? Is she married? Why doesn't she call me sister-in-law, but Sister Ling? Does she have feelings for you?"
Huo Qingyan glared at Ling Fei unhappily, his tone filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction: "Ling Fei, have you become confused after being in the hospital? You've even forgotten basic common sense!
Zhao Xiaoxia is the nanny specially arranged by the leader to take care of us! She is only seventeen years old this year. Isn't it right to call you "big sister"?
Do you want her to call you aunt? Besides, it's normal for her to call me Brother Huo. "
Ling Fei widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Seventeen years old? You actually said she is only in her teens? Why do I think she looks at least twenty years old!" She frowned tightly, as if she was very puzzled by this statement.
Huo Qingyan sighed softly and explained, "She came from the countryside. She's tall, and her skin is a little rough, which might give her the impression of being a little older. But in reality, she's only seventeen."
He looked at Ling Fei, hoping she would believe him. Ling Fei was still a little skeptical, but she reluctantly accepted the fact.
She curled her lips and muttered, "Well, even if she is really only seventeen, I'm still a little worried. Huo Qingyan, you didn't get together with her during the few days I was away, did you?"
Seeing Ling Fei acting unreasonably, Huo Qingyan was so angry that he really wanted to swear.
"Ling Fei, you are so confused. The leader knew that you were discharged from the hospital today, so he asked her to come over.
She's just here to work as a nanny and make money, not to steal your man. What are you worried about?"
