Chapter 746 Tian Hongxiu is terminally ill

Jiang Sui returned to the ward while eating popcorn, and saw Mingzhu sitting on a stool beside the bed, staring at a radiograph.

She said happily, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Mingzhu put away the film and looked at her, "I came to see you. People who are recovering should stay in the hospital. What have you been doing?"

Jiang Sui pushed the popcorn bag in front of her, "I just heard a child outside the door say that there is a popcorn vendor at the door, so I went to buy a bag. Sister-in-law, you eat it."

Mingzhu grabbed a handful and took a bite. The taste of old-fashioned popcorn was pure and clean.

Jiang Sui sat down beside the bed and looked at the radiograph in her hand: "Whose is this?"

"Oh, I just picked it up in the lobby. I'll go downstairs and look for the owner."

Jiang Sui didn't think much about it, nodded, and moved closer to Mingzhu, "Sister-in-law, I'm telling you, I just ran into Liu Xiaoran and Kang Chengzhi downstairs."

As she spoke, she told Mingzhu what had just happened as gossip, of course, she didn't mention the slip of the tongue when Kang Chengzhi was defending him.

It wasn't enough to be angry about being associated with a bastard like Kang Chengzhi.

Mingzhu was a little surprised after hearing this: "Kang Chengzhi is a real tiger when he gets angry, but he knows how to protect the people who come to help him at the critical moment, so he is quite smart."

Jiang Sui thought of how Kang Chengzhi threatened Liu Xiaocheng just now, and he felt that he was indeed quite human, so he nodded in approval.

"But sister-in-law, why is Liu Xiaoran in a wheelchair and looks so sick? Her brother also said that she is not doing well. What happened to her? A sudden illness?"

"She is just too cunning and she is not going to deal with us," Mingzhu briefly explained Liu Xiaoran's story. Jiang Sui felt a little indignant and couldn't even eat popcorn: "Why is she so disgusting? I've heard of forced marriage, but I've never seen anyone as determined as her to force marriage. She will do anything to achieve her goal. She is simply shameless."

Mingzhu patted her hands: "I think it's a good thing. We can take this opportunity to do something big."

The two of them were whispering here, but Jiang Qi and Guan Xia, who were working far away in the unit, had no idea that they had been plotted against.

After finishing work at noon, Jiang Qi was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when he received a call from home.

Fang Shuyu was very anxious on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Qi, it's bad, your mother was sent to the hospital again."

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment: "Second Aunt, please tell me slowly, what happened?"

"Yesterday midnight, Liu Xiaoran committed suicide, and her family spread rumors that she was because she couldn't get the love she wanted from you, and you let her down. They also said that she asked Xiaoduo and Zhuzhu to help her get married, but Xiaoduo and the others didn't do it, and she was frustrated, so she committed suicide. This matter spread in the compound, and your mother heard it when she came back from buying groceries. She was very anxious and had a relapse. You should go to the hospital quickly. Zhuzhu and Suisui are watching over you now."

"I understand."

Jiang Qi was about to hang up the phone when he heard Fang Shuyu say, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Qi, Zhuzhu said that it would be best for you to take Guan Xia with you. If your mother wakes up and sees that you and Guan Xia are fine, she will feel comforted."

Jiang Qi agreed, hung up the phone, and went straight to the train station.

Guan Xia was on duty at the counter. Seeing Jiang Qi rushing over, she came out from the counter and greeted him, "Brother Qi, what's wrong?"

"Xia Xia, my mother was hospitalized because of Liu Xiaoran's anger. Come with me to the hospital."

Guan Xia's heart tightened. She remembered what Mingzhu had said before, that her aunt's body couldn't stand anger. If she got sick again, she would most likely...

die. She didn't dare to think too much and could only nod immediately: "I'll go to the stationmaster to ask for leave."

"I'll go with you."

With Jiang Qi helping to ask for leave, the stationmaster naturally had to give face to the Jiang family.

When the two rushed to the hospital, Mingzhu and Jiang Sui were guarding Tian Hongxiu's ward. Jiang Sui's eyes were red from crying, and Mingzhu comforted him softly.

Jiang Qi came to the bedside and looked at Tian Hongxiu who was still in a coma, worried: "How is Mom?"

Jiang Sui choked up and said: "The doctor said that fortunately she was sent to the hospital in time. Mom's cerebral vascular blockage was not serious. If it was a few minutes later, even God could not save her."

Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that she was fine for the time being. He looked at the IV bottle that Tian Hongxiu was receiving an IV drip, worried: "Don't you need surgery? Just intravenous treatment?"

Mingzhu was helpless: "It's not long since the third aunt had a major operation. She can't stand another craniotomy, so now she can only be given an IV drip to see if she can..."

She hesitated to speak, but Jiang Qi understood what she meant, and his heart became a little heavy.

Guan Xia also came to the bedside worriedly, looking at Tian Hongxiu lying on the bed, frowned: "When will Auntie wake up?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Tian Hongxiu slowly opened her eyes and became quiet. Guan Xia called out in surprise: "Auntie?"

Several people turned their heads to look at Tian Hongxiu. Jiang Sui was surprised: "Sister-in-law, you are still amazing. My mother woke up as soon as you opened your mouth. My mother must like you so much."

Guan Xia:...

I just said something when Auntie was about to wake up. It was just a coincidence.

Jiang Qi leaned over, his voice gentle: "Mom, how do you feel?"

"Ah Qi," Tian Hongxiu stretched out her hand weakly.

Jiang Qi reached out and held her hand: "Mom, I'm here, you talk."

"You absolutely, absolutely cannot be with a scheming woman like Liu Xiaoran. If you are with her, she will make your life restless, do you know that?"

Jiang Qi nodded heavily: "I know."

"You have to be good to Xia Xia, you guys..."

Tian Hongxiu thought of something, and a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes: "Alas, it just so happens that you are not real. If you were real, how great it would be, then I wouldn't be afraid of death."

Guan Xia's eyes also reddened: "Auntie, you will be fine."

Tian Hongxiu looked at Guan Xia: "Xia Xia, you can stand by A Qi and help him, it's already a sign of your affection and righteousness, I shouldn't force more, but I... really don't know how satisfied I am, I wish you were my daughter-in-law, then I can die with my eyes closed."

Jiang Qi frowned: "Mom, don't say such sad words."

"Hey, I know my body well. I don't have much time left. I just hope that you can all have a good home."

Jiang Qi glanced at Guan Xia. He also wanted to marry Guan Xia, but... he also had to get Guan Xia's nod.

Guan Xia was in a dilemma. After all, her relationship with Jiang Qi was fake.

Even if Jiang Qi wanted to take responsibility for her and marry her because of what happened the night before, there was no love between them. How could a marriage without love last a lifetime?

It was too difficult.

The marriage she wanted was one where they could love each other and walk through life together. If she couldn't find the right person, she would rather not get married.

But seeing how Tian Hongxiu was dying, she felt sad.
