“If 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 doesn’t look like a grown man’s,” Mrs. Lu said as she looked at her tanned daughter-in-law. “You two must have a tacit understanding—both of you are so tanned.”
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 family’s 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.
“Yaoyao, what are you going to do?” Lu Xingzhi held the steering wheel and said, “If you want to deal with Mrs. Sun, you don’t have to do it yourself. Such a small matter is something that can be traced. I’ll arrange for someone to handle it.”
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.
“I’ll go by myself.” Jiang Yao shook her head gently and then smiled. “How boring would it be if I didn’t do anything interesting by myself?”
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 medicine—she felt aggrieved.
Lu Xingzhi parked the car at the hospital entrance. Lu Xingzhi could handle anything in town with ease. Therefore, he found Sun Xiaoshan’s 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 Xiaoshan’s ward, they saw Mr. Sun carrying a hot water kettle.
“Jiang Yao.” Mr. Sun was pleased to see Jiang Yao. “You’re here to visit Shanshan?” Mr. Sun knew that his wife had been going to Jiang’s village those few days, so when he saw Jiang Yao, he thought she was visiting her cousin.
He was delighted. It seemed that his wife’s efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. She had finally moved the girl.
“That is your husband, right?” Mr. Sun had never seen Jiang Yao’s husband before, but they must be husband and wife since they held hands. Mr. Sun and Lu Xingzhi took the initiative to greet him. “Hello, I am the husband of Jiang Yao’s biological mother. My surname is Sun.”
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.
“Jiang Yao!” Mrs. Sun immediately walked out of the ward and asked, “What are you doing here?”
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.
“Mrs. Sun… Oh, no, I should call you Xie Qiu—”
Jiang Yao called out her name as Mrs. Sun panicked. “Xie Qiuxiang, of course, I’m not here to acknowledge you as my fake mother. I know why you came to me. You’re here for my heart.”
