Chapter 575: Indifferent Treatment (Page 1/2)
Two days later, after Tang Lihong received a call from her daughter, she took the initiative to go to Qiao's house to find Wen Wan. When Wen Wan saw Tang Lihong coming to the house, she thought Lin Man had agreed to return to Qiao's house.
"Lihong, do you bring good news?" Wen Wan asked nervously.
Tang Lihong sighed and then shook her head. "Don't say anymore. Not only did your daughter scold my daughter for this matter, but she was also scolded by my son-in-law."
Wenwan, who was smiling just a second ago, suddenly lost her smile and said with a gloomy face, "What's going on? Didn't Jingjing tell her that my father-in-law is in a nursing home? Didn't you want to see her?"
"Jingjing told her, but she didn't respond. Jingjing said she probably wouldn't come. Our Jingjing even told her about your Lao Qiao's promotion, but she didn't react at all. I don't know where her arrogance comes from."
Tang Lihong originally had a good impression of Lin Man, but after hearing her daughter complain a few times that the Huo family kept comparing her with her daughter, she began to dislike her.
This time, because of Wen Wan's matter, her daughter went to the house to lobby in person. As a result, her daughter was scolded by that woman again, and naturally had a bad impression of her.
No matter how bad her daughter is, she is still her treasure. As parents, they have never said harsh words to her daughter. How could she be mean to her daughter?
Wen Wan sighed, "I'm sorry, Lihong, I've put you in a difficult position. The child has not been with us since she was young. I don't know how her adoptive parents raised her. They taught her to be so detached from her relatives.
Maybe she is married well now and gave birth to three sons for the man of Huo family, so her position in Huo family is stable, so she becomes arrogant.
Your daughter has two sons, right? I think Jingjing is no worse than her. At least your Jingjing has a stable job."
Hearing Wen Wan praising her daughter, Tang Lihong also smiled, "My daughter Jingjing is pregnant again. My daughter suspects that she is pregnant with another son. It is possible that there will be more than one, or it is possible that there will be only one."
"Oh, is that so? Is your Jingjing pregnant with twin boys?"
Tang Lihong wanted to say that her daughter was pregnant with three boys, but the results were not out yet, so she didn't say much.
She smiled awkwardly, "I'm not sure about that for now. I'll know when Jingjing goes to the hospital for a checkup on Sunday."
Wen Wan thought, it’s better not to say anything about something you’re not sure about, just be careful not to make any mistakes.
"What should I do now? The old man suddenly wants to see my daughter again and wants her to recognize her ancestors. He also said that he is good to my Siyuan and Siyu.
Brother Yan and I also want her to come back. I originally thought that if your daughter went to lobby her, she would come to meet my father-in-law for your daughter's sake.
Who knows if your daughter's words won't work, so why don't you think I should go there myself?
"I think you can give it a try. If it's inconvenient for you to go alone, you can ask your daughter-in-law to accompany you. If you don't want to tell her, ask her to tell you."
"Is this really okay? What if we get kicked out?" Wen Wan said a little nervously.
"I don't know what you should do. I didn't expect that your adopted daughter is gone, and your biological daughter has not yet let go of the past."
"Yeah, I suspect she hates us for losing her, but it's not our fault, nor is it Sitian's.
I'm feeling very nervous right now. I want to go to her house and talk things out, but I'm also worried that I'll be kicked out.
If I were kicked out by my own daughter, I guess everyone in the circle would laugh at me, especially my two sisters-in-law.
Lihong, you told me last time that they have moved to the military hospital's family compound. Which building are they in?"
Tang Lihong didn't expect that Wen Wan really listened to her and prepared to go to Lin Man's house.
She smiled and replied, "I don't know exactly which building she lives in. You can go over and ask her. Your son-in-law is now the deputy director and very famous."
"Oh, really? Your son-in-law is a pilot officer and has been abroad. He's even more capable than his brother. Your daughter is so lucky."
The two women flattered each other and chatted for an hour. Tang Lihong stood up to say goodbye and waited for her to leave.
The gentle daughter-in-law said, "Mom, didn't you say before that the Song family is very protective of her daughter because her sister-in-law has some conflicts with her daughter, so she has some opinions about our family?"
"Silly girl, if you choose Si Tian, the contradiction will naturally disappear. Besides, your father-in-law's current position is higher than her man, so she is naturally embarrassed to be arrogant in front of me.
By the way, come with me to the military hospital this Sunday and I’ll take you to meet my daughter.”
"Okay, I'll go with you."
On Sunday morning, after a fierce ideological struggle, Wen Wan finally mustered up the courage and decided to take her daughter-in-law to the military compound to look for Lin Man.
Along the way, Wen Wan was both nervous and expectant. She didn't know what the outcome of this meeting would be.
However, when they arrived at Lin Man's house, they found that the door was locked. She was not at home and did not lock the door at all.
This made Wen Wan feel very lost and frustrated, and worse was yet to come - while going down the stairs, Wen accidentally sprained her ankle!
There was only a crisp "click" sound, and suddenly a piercing pain came over her. Wen Wan couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much, daughter-in-law, hurry up, help me up."

"Okay, Mom." After helping Wen Wan up, Qiao Siyu's wife saw that her mother-in-law couldn't walk normally, so she offered her own opinion, "Mom, your ankle is swollen, let's go to the hospital!"
"Okay, help me downstairs first, and then we'll go to the orthopedics department."
Now that's great! Wen Wan, who had come to look for someone with great joy, not only failed to see Lin Man, but was also injured.
In desperation, she had to endure the severe pain and go to the hospital to check her injured foot.
After a careful examination and treatment by the doctor, Wen Wan's foot was bandaged with a thick plaster bandage, and she looked utterly miserable. But even so, her resentment towards Lin Man did not diminish in the slightest, but only intensified.
So, after bandaging the wound, Wen Wan, limping on one leg, with the support of her daughter-in-law, hurried to the cardiovascular department to find her son-in-law.
When the nurse told Huo Qingci that someone was looking for him, he put down his work and walked out of the office.
He saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of him with a haggard face and unhappy expression. Huo Qingci looked her up and down and had already guessed her identity in his heart, but he pretended not to know her. He just nodded slightly and didn't even say the most common greeting.
You know, if he meets other strangers on weekdays, Huo Qingci will at least call them "comrade" out of courtesy.
As for those female elders who he is a little familiar with, he will affectionately call them "Auntie" or something like that.
But today, facing Wen Wan, he acted very indifferent, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.
When Wen Wan saw this, the anger in her heart instantly ignited.
She thought to herself: Lin Man is so unreasonable that she actually found such an arrogant and rude man to be her husband!
Moreover, this man and Lin Man are exactly the same kind of people, both of them are so arrogant and domineering!
Thinking of this, Wen Wan could no longer suppress her inner anger and said directly: "Hello, I am Lin Man's mother!"
Hearing this, Huo Qingci showed a barely perceptible sneer on his face, and then asked in feigned surprise, "Oh? Excuse me, as far as I know, Manman's adoptive mother doesn't look like you, right? May I ask who you are?"
After saying that, he put on a puzzled expression and stared at Wen Wan.
"I am Lin Man's biological mother."
Since she said so, Huo Qingci had to greet her. It was basic etiquette.
He was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "Oh, it's Auntie! What can I do for you?"
Wen Wan frowned upon hearing this, a trace of anger emerging on her face. "I am Lin Man's biological mother. It's only right that you call me 'Mom' instead of 'Auntie'!"
Huo Qingci put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, shook his head slightly, and replied in a calm but firm tone:
"I'm so sorry, Auntie. Although I know that you and my wife are related by blood, my wife's last name is Lin, and she has not returned to the Qiao family yet.
So, in this case, it seems inappropriate for me to call you "Mom" directly. Also, if I may ask, why did you come to see me this time?"
Huo Qingci had a lot of thoughts in his mind at this moment. Just a few days ago, his brother's wife came to see his wife and talked a lot of incomprehensible things.
And now, this nominal mother-in-law actually came to visit in person. Could it be that... Mr. Qiao is about to die?
But even so, there was no need for his wife to go to the funeral and cry! Then what was her purpose in coming here to look for Manman today?
Could it be that Mr. Qiao suddenly felt guilty before his death and left his wife some precious treasure? Thinking of this, Huo Qingci couldn't help but secretly speculate on various possibilities in his heart.
Wen Wan was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she tried hard to suppress the rage that was about to erupt in her heart.
At this moment, Qiao Siyu's wife observed Huo Qingci's expression calmly, then gently tugged at Wen Wan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Mom, let's talk about business first!"
Hearing this, Wen Wan took a deep breath, tried to calm her excitement, and slowly said: "Si Tian has passed away. Since then, Brother Yan and I have been looking forward to Xiao Man coming back to us day and night.
So this time I came here specially to invite Xiaoman to visit her parents' home.
By the way, let her go to the Cadre Hospital to visit her grandfather. The old man is now seriously ill and in very poor health. The old man is thinking about seeing Xiao Man. "
However, after hearing this, Huo Qingci responded expressionlessly: "Sorry, Auntie. I can tell you clearly that Manman will never go to your Qiao family.
As for Mr. Qiao's illness, I can only wish him peace of mind and recovery. But even so, it is impossible for Manman to visit him. Even if everyone in the Qiao family came, the result would be the same.
I'm so sorry! If you two don't have anything else important to say, please stop here. I have a lot of things to deal with, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qingci turned around and left without hesitation, completely ignoring Wen Wan behind him and how ugly her face was at the moment.
