The four brothers of the Zhu family cooperated and quickly told the whole story.

"After Sister Fang Ping got into trouble, my eldest brother only had time to see my sister-in-law once, and he has been taking care of Sister Fang Ping ever since. We all advised him not to think so for now, and to go back and talk to my sister-in-law about the change, just in case it was a misunderstanding."

"My eldest brother is making up for it here, but I don't know what's going on with my sister-in-law yet."

"Don't say too much. Sister Fang Ping didn't blame Big Brother. She also said it wasn't because of Sister-in-law, but Big Brother wanted to help out."

Some of the brothers played the good cop role while others played the bad cop role, and people in the compound soon found out what had happened.

Some people know about this. "You mean Chi Fangping's daughter Xiaoru? That child has asthma and is allergic to many things, including pollen."

The speaker changed his tone and said, "But when you have an allergy, you will cough violently immediately. It won't take long for the allergy to develop."

The words made the Zhu family stop and ask, "Does this sister-in-law know?"

"My child used to play with Xiaoru and among the flowers. When he came into contact with pollen, he immediately started coughing and had difficulty breathing, but he got better once he left the flowers."

"So that's the case. Then we can rest assured." Kong Siya sighed, "He's also a poor child."

"Yes, that child is pitiful and soft-hearted. He always hides away and cries secretly by himself." The eldest sister-in-law pursed her lips.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Let's go see Fang Ping first." Kong Siya thanked her politely.

She was a gentle person, with a soft voice when she spoke. The elder sister-in-law urged them to go, and advised them not to think too much.

By the time the Zhu family arrived at the Chi family, all the problems Zhu Weidong was worried about had been solved.

When Chi Fangping heard the purpose of the Zhu family's visit, she felt ashamed. She was on the bed when the Zhu family came in. She remembered that the Zhu family had stopped her and kept telling her to have a good rest. She was surrounded by the Zhu family on the bed, staring at her with a covetous look. Chi Fangping had the illusion that she was a fish on the chopping board.

"Uncle and aunt, please don't think too much about it. This is a misunderstanding. Weidong is kind and soft-hearted. If I hadn't heard him say it, I wouldn't have known about it. As soon as I knew about it, I advised him not to think so. Xiaoru's problem is not anyone's fault. It's because I, as a mother, didn't take good care of her."

Chi's mother also explained, "Yes, if everyone thinks like Weidong, then the one who really harmed Xiaoru should be me, her grandmother. If I had taken good care of Xiaoru, she wouldn't have been bitten by the snake."

"That's right. When you lose your child, everyone around you will worry about you. Weidong is stubborn. He has been taking care of you not just for this reason. Maybe it's because he wants to be a father, so he feels sad to see the child gone at such a young age. He wants to do something for the child." Zhu Chuang has a good temper. He exudes elegance just standing there without saying a word. When he opens his mouth, his voice is low and magnetic, and he becomes even more charming.

Mother Chi was stunned as she looked at that handsome face. Her ears felt hot unconsciously, as if they were pricked by needles. She looked away guiltily.

Chi Fangping was still talking to the Zhu family, affirming Zhu Weidong's character and expressing more gratitude.

The Zhu family did not stay long. They just expressed their condolences and left.

Chi's mother sent the person back, and she looked like she had lost her soul. "My dear, she is about my age, but she looks at least ten years younger than me. It's good to have a rich family. Look at how well she has been maintained."

Chi Fangping sat against the head of the bed, looking out the window, her face full of worry.

Mother Chi walked to the bed and sat down. "The Chi family is also very good. They took good care of our family this time."

Chi Fangping retracted her gaze and turned to look at Chi's mother, "I have always been grateful to Zhu Weidong."

"That's good." Mother Chi patted her daughter's hand.

Mother Chi was angry about what the Chi brothers said yesterday, but after thinking about it all night, she felt that their worries were not wrong and that her sister should not cause so much trouble.

Zhu Weidong is just a classmate and colleague. Even if they had something in the past, they both have families now. There are differences between men and women, so they should avoid suspicion.

People can't be too greedy.

The Zhu family handled the matter easily and Zhu Chuang sent the telegram early in the morning. Ji Ling, who was far away in the southwest, discovered something strange on the day Zhu Weidong left.

The owner of the guesthouse came to clean up the house and asked her when he saw the flowers in the house, "These can only be picked in the mountains. They look very fresh. Where did you get them?"

Ji Ling looked at him suspiciously. It turned out that the boss was not joking. "Didn't you deliver it this afternoon?"

This time it was the boss who was stunned. "We?"

"When I came back from outside, there was this bouquet of flowers in the room. Didn't you send them?"

The boss shook his head and said, "My wife and I will be planting vegetables in the backyard this afternoon, so we don't have time to go up the mountain."

Ji Ling could tell something was wrong, but the boss didn't want to scare her, so he made up an excuse, "It might have been my child who did it. I'll ask him later."

"OK."

The owner of the guesthouse left. Ji Ling stared at the wild flowers on the table in a daze. There was a knock on the door. She thought it was the owner of the guesthouse, so she called out, "Come in," her eyes still fixed on the wild flowers on the table.

"Ji Ling?"

Ji Ling turned around and looked at Chang Ya, "You came to see me?"

"Brother Weidong sent Sister Fang Ping back to the capital. Director Wang was worried about you being alone, so he asked me to come and accompany you."

Ji Ling's eyes moved, "You just came here?"

"Yes, how do we get there?" Chang Ya walked into the room, came to the table, saw the flowers on the table and exclaimed, "These flowers are beautiful."

She bent down and sniffed it, "It smells good."

After sniffing it, she stood up and said, "Ji Ling, Xiao Song is waiting outside. I know you don't like to see me. I will go back with Xiao Song now, and then tell Director Wang that you can do it yourself."

Ji Ling hummed with a nasal sound, her eyes slightly lowered, her gaze fell on Chang Ya's shoes, then she stood up and said, "I'll take you out."

Chang Ya said, "No need."

"Let's go. I'll talk to Xiao Song in person, otherwise Director Wang will be worried." Ji Ling casually took the wild flowers on the table out of the vase.

"What are you going to do with it?" Chang Ya took a step forward and then stepped back.

"Throw it away." Ji Ling had already walked three steps away. When she reached the door and found that Chang Ya had not followed, she stopped and looked back at her, while holding up the flower, "You like it? Then I'll give it to you."

"It wilted on the way back with me." Chang Ya walked over and reached out to take the flowers, "Let me help you throw them away."

Ji Ling had already withdrawn her hand when she followed her and strode out of the room. "How can I trouble you with such a small matter?"
