Chapter 380 is about to come out
The old lady frowned. "Affect Zhixun? How could it possibly affect him! Su Xiao is his daughter, I think he will be very happy! If you are worried that Su Xiao is your second child and violates the family planning policy, then there is no need to worry.
At the time, your brother was unable to have children due to health problems, so the responsibility of continuing your family line naturally shifted to you. You can have a second child. This was reported and approved by the higher-ups. Who dares to say anything? So I don't think it will affect Zhixun in any way."
"It's not this question, but..." Lan Qiuling paused and continued, "That's right, Mom. I really can't let go of what happened back then. That incident may become a thorn in my heart forever. I can't deny that I haven't felt much grief over Su Xiao's loss over the years. What I'm thinking about is...
Once Su Xiao returns home, those who have ulterior motives will inevitably dig up what happened back then. With Zhixun in this position, so many people are watching and jealous. You should know that these people will definitely seize this opportunity to attack Zhixun. Even if Zhixun can finally resolve these crises, the situation will definitely not be as peaceful as it is now! "
"Are we leaving our Zhao family's flesh and blood out in the world just because of these concerns? I could understand if we didn't know before, but now that we know the child is right here with us and has suffered so much, why don't we take her back? How can we be fair to her?"
"As the daughter of the Zhao family, she should shoulder her due responsibilities. Perhaps this is her fate. Of course, we can choose not to recognize her, but we can help her secretly. It's enough to know in our hearts that she is our family."
"Haha, really? Do you really think so?" The old lady smiled coldly and shook her head. "Qiu Ling, I no longer believe you. Although everything you said seems to make sense, I don't agree. I can't accept it. I still want to claim Su Xiao back. I want Su Xiao to enjoy the love and warmth she deserves!"
"Mom..." Lan Qiuling couldn't help but feel angry.
"That's it. Since you said this matter will affect Zhixun, let Zhixun decide. He understands the situation better than any of us. But Qiu Ling, I'm telling you, you'd better not try to trip me up in secret, or I won't forgive you!"
Although the old lady no longer speaks with full energy, every word she says is sharp and decisive, and her aura is intimidating.
Lan Qiuling was extremely angry, but she couldn't confront the old lady head-on. She just wanted to run to Su Xiao immediately and vent her anger.
Later, Lan Qiuling left. The old lady was in a bad mood all the time, and even shed tears silently occasionally. Xiao Cui couldn't calm her down no matter how she coaxed or comforted her.
As a last resort, Xiao Cui made a decision and called Su Xiao.
"Xiao Cui, what's wrong?" Su Xiao was a little surprised when she received the call.
"Su...Sister, are you free now? Can you come to the hospital to see the old lady?" Xiao Cui said.
Su Xiao was even more surprised. After learning that the old lady was from the Zhao family, she didn't plan to contact the old lady again, so she rejected Xiao Cui.
But Xiao Cui kept begging, "The old lady is in a bad mood and has been crying all day. I know she misses you. Sister Su, if you don't have anything else urgent, please come and see her. Consider it a good deed. The old lady is really pitiful."
Uh - the old lady is in a bad mood. There is a doctor, and there are so many family members around. It is impossible for her, an unrelated person, to be the one to take care of her.
It is undeniable that the old lady likes her, but she can never compare to her own family. Su Xiao may not trust other people, but she can trust Zhao Yixuan.
However, no matter how determined Su Xiao was, she could not resist Xiao Cui's pleading. Thinking of the old lady's immediate affection and kindness towards her, the kind-hearted Su Xiao finally agreed.
The old lady was surprised and delighted to see Su Xiao appear. When she learned that it was Xiao Cui who arranged this without her permission, she could not help but scold her, "When did you learn to act on your own, you little girl? Are you getting cocky now?"
The clever Xiao Cui could see that Su Xiao's arrival really made the old lady happy. She knew that her arrangement was right, so she was not afraid. She said to the old lady with a smile, "It seems I was wrong. Then I will ask Sister Su to leave?"
"How dare you! You little girl, you are so lawless!" the old lady scolded.
"I'm just joking. I know you're thinking about Sister Su, so how could you let her go? Just chat with Sister Su. I'll go downstairs to see if the aunt selling strawberries is here yet. Sister Su, those are milk strawberries grown by the aunt herself. They're delicious. I just got my salary yesterday, so I'll treat you!" Xiao Cui said, winked at Su Xiao, and slipped out.
Su Xiao also smiled, "Xiao Cui is really nice."
"Yes, much closer than those who are related to me by blood," said the old lady.
Su Xiao was stunned, but she didn't think much about it. She continued to ask the old lady gently, "How is your health? Did the doctor say when you can be discharged from the hospital?"
"Any time is fine, but I'm the one who won't leave."
Refusing to leave?
Although this is a high-end ward with thoughtful arrangements in every aspect, it is still a hospital and cannot compare to the comfort of home.
If you are cured, there is no reason to stay here any longer.
Su Xiao stared at the old lady thoughtfully. The old lady also looked at her without blinking. Suddenly, tears fell from her eyes. "Girl..."
Su Xiao quickly recovered and said, "Grandma, please don't cry. Is there anything you can tell me?"
Yes, she had something to say to her little girl. She wanted to tell her that she was her biological grandmother and her granddaughter who had been lost for many years.
However, the old lady opened and closed her mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
Even though she declared to Lan Qiuling that she would definitely recognize Su Xiao, she still had concerns and hesitations in her heart.
She has seen a lot of things in the officialdom over the past few decades and is well aware of the various dangers and interests.
After much thought, she decided to wait for her son's wishes.
She was afraid that her son would not agree, and then she would not be able to recognize Su Xiao. When she thought that her own granddaughter would continue to wander outside and unable to return to the Zhao family, she felt so sad that her heart was broken and she almost suffocated.
"Grandma Zhao, please don't cry. I feel sad too when you are like this." Su Xiao couldn't help but comfort her when she saw that the old lady was crying harder and harder.
"My dear girl, grandma is sorry for you, grandma is sorry for you!" The old lady completely broke down and hugged Su Xiao directly in her arms.
Su Xiao froze, thinking that the old lady might have remembered her granddaughter?
Suddenly feeling very pitiful, she quietly let the old lady hold her, thinking that if this could comfort the old lady, then she would pretend to be the old lady's granddaughter. It would not hurt her anyway.
