When they returned home at night, Ji Yuanyuan told Li Xu and Zhang Kun about what happened during the day.
This matter was neither big nor small. He had to let them know.
Otherwise, if something really happened to Niu Allan, everyone would lose face.
As expected, after hearing Ji Yuanyuanâs words, Li Xu and Zhang Kunâs expressions turned serious.
âI donât blame you for this.â After a long while, Li Xu finally spoke.
The children were close to their Little Aunt, so it was normal for them to protect her.
Qin Xiaojie came to the door himself, but Niu Allan scolded Miaomiao indiscriminately.
Even if she was there, she might not be able to help but argue with Niu Allan, let alone the children.
No one knew that Niu Allan had heart disease and could not be stimulated.
âHowever, this matter is ultimately because of us. In addition, with our relationship with Second Aunt, we canât be too rude. Letâs buy some supplements tomorrow and go see Grandma Niu.â Li Xu said.
She was afraid the children would say the wrong thing. After thinking for a moment, she instructed, âWhen the time comes, you just have to admit your mistakes in front of Grandma Niu. No matter what she says, youâre not allowed to talk back, understand?â
âYes, Mom.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded readily.
Ji Ziâang was a little reluctant, but he still nodded and agreed, âAlright then!â
Li Xu let out a long sigh and said helplessly, âJust whatâs going on!â
Zhang Kun laughed and patted her shoulder, comforting her in a low voice, âAlright, donât worry. Iâll go with you guys tomorrow around ten oâclock.â Hearing this, Ji Ziâang felt relieved and quickly said, âAlright, donât worry. I wonât say anything.â
The next morning, Li Xu left Ji Zixuan some money and a note before leaving with Ji Yuanyuan, Ji Ziâang, and Zhang Kun.
After waiting for the mall to open, Li Xu went to buy a few expensive tonics.
At about 10 oâclock, the three of them met up with Zhang Kun and headed to the hospital together.
When the family of four went over, only Niu Allan and Qin Xiaojie were in the ward.
Seeing Li Xu, Qin Xiaojieâs expression was slightly uncomfortable.
âSister, Brother-in-law!â Qin Xiaojie called out to the two of them in a low voice.
Then, he stepped forward and took the gift from Zhang Kunâs hand.
Qin Xiaojie called them Sister and Brother-in-law as Qin Xiaomin. He didnât think much of it in the past, but now, Qin Xiaojie felt a little awkward.
After he called out, he was not in the mood to be polite. He went to the side and poured water for Li Xu and Zhang Kun.
Niu Allan was awake on the hospital bed. Seeing this, she said, âSo what if youâre here? Why did you bring anything?â
Although she was unwilling, Niu Allan still had to be polite. This was etiquette. âI just bought a few things. Theyâre not worth much.â Li Xu said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she saw Niu Allanâs pale face and quickly asked, âHow are you feeling? Are you feeling better?â
Niu Allan exhaled, âItâs nothing. I wonât die for the time being.â
These words really choked Li Xu.
âIâm here today mainly to ask the child to apologize to you. The child is young and doesnât know anything. They donât speak well. Please donât take it to heart.â Li Xu lowered her stance.
After all, Niu Allan was Xiaoyongâs mother-in-law. If things went bad, Li Yong would feel bad being stuck in the middle.
After saying that, she gave Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Ziâang a look.
The two children received Li Xuâs signal and quickly went forward to apologize. âGrandma Niu, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have spoken to you like that yesterday.â âGrandma Niu, Iâm sorry. Donât be angry.â
At this moment, Qin Xiaojie also returned. He handed the disposable paper cup to Li Xu and Zhang Kun.
Seeing her son, Niu Ailanâs expression softened.
A moment later, she said, âLetâs not talk about what happened yesterday. I didnât blame the children. It was my own health problem.â
Having said that, Li Xu did not know what to say.
If Niu Allanâs attitude was better, she could still talk nonsense.
However, Niu Ailanâs expression was cold now. She didnât want to stick her warm face to her cold butt.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Xiaojie, Li Xu wanted to leave.
However, before she could say goodbye, the door of the ward was pushed open again.
Liu Guihua, Li Zhiming, and Li Miao entered.
Li Miao was also carrying a few boxes of supplements.
Seeing Li Miao come in, Qin Xiaojieâs eyes lit up. His previous decadence was gone and he became lively.
He smiled and went forward to take the things from Li Miaoâs hands.
However, Li Miao directly bypassed him and placed everything on the ground.
Liu Guihua looked at Li Xu awkwardly, then at Niu Allan and said, âIn-law, Xiao Yong came back late yesterday. We only found out that you were hospitalized after nine oâclock at night. Otherwise, we would have come to see you yesterday.â
âThereâs nothing to see,â Niu Allan said. âI wonât die for the time being.â
She probably felt especially uncomfortable when she saw Li Miao.
The smile on Liu Guihuaâs face froze. She reached out and tugged at Li Miao.
Li Miao stepped forward unwillingly.
Although she was not convinced, the situation was clear.
She was the cause of the incident. If she refused to apologize, what if something really happened to Niu Allan?
How awkward would it be for her to get along with Second Sister-in-law in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Miao said, âAuntie, it was my fault previously. Please donât lower yourself to my level.â
Niu Allan forced a smile and said, âI was wrong yesterday. Let bygones be bygones.â
Liu Guihua reached out and poked Li Miaoâs arm.
âIâm here today to apologize to you and to explain something to you,â Li Miao said.
Niu Allan didnât say anything. She just lifted her eyelids and said, âThereâs no need to explain. Xiaojie told me he was the one who took the initiative to look for you. But donât worry, Iâll take good care of Xiaojie in the future.â
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Anyone could hear a hint of sarcasm in her words.
The smile on Li Xuâs face was almost gone.
Qin Xiaojie gave Niu Allan an anxious look.
The mother and son talked a lot in the morning. He had clearly told his mother about the situation that day. Why was his mother still speaking with a knife in her mouth?
How was he going to see Li Miao in the future?
Li Miao did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, she said, âYou donât have to say that. Qin Xiaojie might not have known about my situation before, so there was a misunderstanding. I wanted to tell him yesterday but was so angry that I forgot!â
She smiled and looked at Qin Xiaojie, âYou might not know this, but I already have a boyfriend. We plan to get married next year.â
As soon as Li Miao said that, everyone present, except Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming, was stunned..
