âIf you want to go out and bask in the sun often, then remember to put on some skincare products. You still have to protect your skin well. After all, our skin doesnât look like a grown manâs,â Mrs. Lu said as she looked at her tanned daughter-in-law. âYou two must have a tacit understandingâboth of you are so tanned.â
Jiang Yao lowered her head and stuck out her tongue secretly. They were together all that time, but they could not be tanned together?
After dinner, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi went out. Sun Xiaoshan had fainted at the Jiang familyâs house the last time, and her health had been very poor. She had been hospitalized, and she had not been able to leave until then. Mrs. Sun was also in the county.
âYaoyao, what are you going to do?â Lu Xingzhi held the steering wheel and said, âIf you want to deal with Mrs. Sun, you donât have to do it yourself. Such a small matter is something that can be traced. Iâll arrange for someone to handle it.â
Lu Xingzhi did not want Jiang Yao to worry about Mrs. Sun. During that period, Jiang Yao had been with him in Shu City. It was rare for her to return home, so Lu Xingzhi hoped that Jiang Yao would have a good rest because she might not be able to return to Shu City for a while.
âIâll go by myself.â Jiang Yao shook her head gently and then smiled. âHow boring would it be if I didnât do anything interesting by myself?â
She knew that there were many ways to punish Mrs. Sun, but the woman had caused her parents to worry for so long, caused trouble in the Jiang family, and even caused Madam Cheng to worry.
Jiang Yao thought that she would let Mrs. Sun have a taste of her own medicineâshe felt aggrieved.
Lu Xingzhi parked the car at the hospital entrance. Lu Xingzhi could handle anything in town with ease. Therefore, he found Sun Xiaoshanâs ward with just a call.
After parking the car, Lu Xingzhi led Jiang Yao to the third floor of the inpatient building. Before the two of them arrived at Sun Xiaoshanâs ward, they saw Mr. Sun carrying a hot water kettle.
âJiang Yao.â Mr. Sun was pleased to see Jiang Yao. âYouâre here to visit Shanshan?â Mr. Sun knew that his wife had been going to Jiangâs village those few days, so when he saw Jiang Yao, he thought she was visiting her cousin.
He was delighted. It seemed that his wifeâs efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. She had finally moved the girl.
âThat is your husband, right?â Mr. Sun had never seen Jiang Yaoâs husband before, but they must be husband and wife since they held hands. Mr. Sun and Lu Xingzhi took the initiative to greet him. âHello, I am the husband of Jiang Yaoâs biological mother. My surname is Sun.â
Mrs. Sun heard her husband talking to someone outside the ward, so she poked her head out to take a look. When she saw Jiang Yao, she was shocked.
âJiang Yao!â Mrs. Sun immediately walked out of the ward and asked, âWhat are you doing here?â
Obviously, Mrs. Sun was not stupid enough to think that Jiang Yao was there to acknowledge her as her mother.
She was worried that Jiang Yao was there to talk to Sun Xiaoshan about something else. She was afraid that Jiang Yao would hurt her daughter, so she forgot to pretend to be a loving mother.
âMrs. Sun⦠Oh, no, I should call you Xie Qiuââ
Jiang Yao called out her name as Mrs. Sun panicked. âXie Qiuxiang, of course, Iâm not here to acknowledge you as my fake mother. I know why you came to me. Youâre here for my heart.â
