Chapter 348 Discharge from Hospital
After resolving the Zeng family’s affairs, Zhong Nian Yao and Zhao Xuanlang left.
As for Liu Zihan, he went straight home. He still had to report this matter to his mother!
On the way, Zhao Xuanlang kept questioning Zhong Nianyao, but Zhong Nianyao just told him to ask Liu Zihang and left.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's attitude, Zhao Xuanlang didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After leaving Zeng's house, Zhong Nian Yao did not go back to Tongtian Bridge to continue setting up her stall, but went straight home.
As soon as she entered the house, she found that the Zhong family seemed particularly lively today. Even Zhong Mengxuan, who had not been seen in the past few days, came back.
It turned out that Li Yiqiu was discharged from the hospital today. However, because the child was born prematurely, many of his organs were not fully developed, so he had to remain in the incubator for observation.
Ever since Mr. Zhong announced that he would no longer care about Zhong Mengxuan's affairs, Zhong Mengxuan has rarely returned home. She spends most of her time living in the villa purchased for her by Lu Chenran.
Even though Zhong Mengxuan had returned today, everyone's attitude towards her was noticeably cold. Even her biological father, Zhong Mingyu, was cold. Only her mother, Li Yiqiu, would still ask about her well-being, but it was clear that she lacked the warmth she once had.
Looking at Li Yiqiu sitting in the middle of the living room surrounded by people, Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and just found it interesting.
After Li Yiqiu returned home, he did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he chatted with everyone in the living room, maintaining that hypocritical family affection. What is he trying to achieve?
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were also sitting in the living room. They didn't have too many thoughts. They were really happy to see Li Yiqiu discharged from the hospital today, and they had warm smiles on their faces.
"Nian Yao is back!" Sharp-eyed Zheng Siling spoke up immediately after seeing Zhong Nian Yao, "She's back from her date with Mr. Lu San! Why are you out so early today? Why don't you play for a while?"
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on Zhong Nian Yao.
Facing the thoughtful looks from everyone, Zhong Nianyao curled her lips into a faint smile. She slowly walked into the living room, found a seat and sat down before speaking, "So Second Auntie was discharged from the hospital today! I hadn't heard about it before!"
"Yes! Sister-in-law is too anxious." Zheng Siling glanced at Zhong Mengxuan before speaking, "Sister-in-law gave birth prematurely this time. Her body is severely deficient in Qi and blood. She really should stay in the hospital for a good observation."
When Zheng Siling mentioned the premature birth, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong's expressions suddenly changed. However, remembering that today was a good day, they couldn't get angry, so they finally held back. However, they didn't even glance at Zhong Mengxuan, completely ignoring their granddaughter.
"This was a sudden decision." Li Yiqiu's expression remained unchanged, but her hands, resting on her knees, had already clenched into fists imperceptibly. "The doctor examined me today and said I've almost recovered. I don't want to stay in the hospital any longer, so after consulting the doctor, I decided to go home."
"Besides, I still feel it's more convenient at home. So, I decided to come back and recuperate."
She naturally knew that Zheng Siling's words were meant to sow discord. However, with both elders present, she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.
And, to be honest, she still felt very heartbroken about what Zhong Mengxuan did this time.
She had always cherished her daughter since she was little. However, when her health was so poor and her pregnancy was unstable, her daughter actually wanted to compete with her unborn brother and forced them to give her shares.
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's haggard appearance today, she did feel a little distressed. But when she thought of her daughter's aggressive appearance that day, she felt it was hard to forgive her.
"Then my sister-in-law really needs to rest well." Zheng Siling covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, then continued, "Because of this incident, your body has suffered quite a bit of damage! But, speaking of it, the one who is most pitiful is the child. He is so young, and yet he has to endure so much hardship."
"It would be great if he could live to full term! He would definitely be a healthy baby then."
Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu's expressions suddenly changed, and they almost couldn't maintain the smiles on their faces.
You know, now this child is the pain in the hearts of this couple.
Zhong Mingyu, in particular, had always hoped to have a son to inherit the family business. However, even though he now had a son, he was born prematurely, and the doctor said that even in the future, his health would be much worse than that of an average person. Moreover, no matter how carefully he was cared for, he would definitely have underlying health problems.
When he thought of this, his face turned pale when he looked at Zhong Mengxuan.
However, he also knew that he absolutely could not get angry with Zhong Mengxuan at this time. Otherwise, it would not only be Zhong Mengxuan who would be laughed at, but their entire Second House would become the laughing stock of the First House.
"The eldest son's wife." Old Master Zhong looked at Zheng Siling, his tone was calm but full of authority, "Watch what you say. Don't be so careless and say anything out loud."
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were already so old, they had definitely experienced many ups and downs. So how could they not know about Zheng Siling's little tricks!
They really didn't care about some minor fights, but if they really wanted to stir up trouble, they would definitely not sit idly by.
Perhaps because she had been warned, Zheng Siling looked a little sullen and didn't say anything else.
"Okay, second son's wife, you must be tired after being back for so long." Old Master Zhong said directly, "Hurry up and go upstairs to rest!"
"Yes!" Old Madam Zhong also spoke up, "You are still in confinement after childbirth. Go back to your room quickly! Don't be exposed to the wind outside. It will affect your whole life."
Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Li Yiqiu quickly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, I actually have something else I'd like to ask Nian Yao for help with today. Since you're here too, why don't you help persuade her together?"
Zhong Nianyao, who had nothing to do with the matter, was stunned after hearing what Li Yiqiu said.
