91 They will Cause you so much Annoyance in the Future
Lady Ruan opened her mouth to curse.
Xie Laogen pulled onto her, “Enough!”
They agreed to act civil at home but once they were here, she started to act up again.
Lady Ruan clenched her teeth and glanced at Xie Yunjin. Her heart felt so much disgust towards this third son of hers.
This piece of garbage forgot all about his mother once he got himself a wife. He didn’t step in after seeing his wife make fun of his mother. Thank god her eldest son was filial.
Lady Ruan numbly gaped at Xie Yunjin, “Third son, I heard you’re undergoing surgery tomorrow. Your father and I are worried. Tomorrow, we plan on going with you.”
Xie Yunjin said coldly, “It’s useless for so many people to go with me. Just send father alone.”
Lady Ruan wanted to agree when Xie Laogen chimed in, “My third son, your mother is worried about you so she wants to be there for you.”
Lu Jiao said, “Dr. Qi said that during surgery, nobody is allowed inside. Only Yunjin can be inside.”
Lady Ruan unhappily howled, “How’s that allowed? What if he hurts my son?”
Lu Jiao sarcastically chortled. This woman talked like she cared about her son.
Lu Jiao said calmly, “Mother, even if you do go in, do you dare to look? Surgery is when they use a knife to cut open the leg.”
The mental image of that made Lady Ruan’s face pale. She tapped at her chest as if she’s been scared.
Xie Laogen glanced at his wife, then at Xie Yunjin, “Third son, this is a big deal. Our whole family wants to be there with you. You’ll feel less anxious with us there. We’ll wait for you outside.”
Xie Yunjin wasn’t touched at all and his gaze turned even colder.
Xie Laogen noticed it and so much regret was in his heart. What was he thinking back then, kicking out their own wounded son? If they didn’t do that, then their son would still be devoted to the family.
Before, their third son respected him and his mother very much. After what happened, he changed.
Though Xie Laogen preferred his eldest son, he knew very well that it was his third son who would achieve the most in the future.
The entire family counted on him. In the end, the entire family wronged him.
The more Xie Laogen thought about it, the angrier he got. The sight of Lady Ruan ignited a flame of fury inside him. He wanted to knock this woman out – it was all her fault.
In the end, he chose to endure. He’s endured all these years after all.
Xie Yunjin was uninterested, “Do whatever you want.”
He could care less whether they were there or not.
Lady Ruan saw how distant he was and it angered her. She looked and saw that the four little ones were peeling and eating the grapes, occasionally feeding their father. It didn’t occur to any one of them to give their grandparents some.
Lady Ruan threw daggers at Xie Yunjin and the four little ones with her gaze. In the end, she became fixated on Lu Jiao. It must be this woman who was provoking her son to act aloof. This woman wanted this family to break apart.
She shouldn’t be a part of this family. Lady Ruan was determined to force her away.
The more Lady Ruan thought about it, the angrier she got. Scared that Lady Ruan would fight again, Xie Laogen pulled on her hand and walked away, “We will get home first then. Tomorrow, we will all come and accompany you to surgery.”
Honestly, Xie Laogen wanted those grapes as well. Those were rare and expensive, he’s never tried them.
Though wild grapes are grown in the countryside, they were sour and uneatable. The grapes the quadruplets ate were big and round, obviously good tasting.
Sadly, he didn’t get to try any.
Inside the room, Lu Jiao didn’t walk Lady Ruan and Xie Laogen out. She stared at Xie Yunjin and said pitifully, “They will cause you so much annoyance in the future!”
Xie Yunjin snickers. If he was able to walk around and be independent, there was no way he would still let his mother visit.
The time is coming. Once he could move again, he will make sure his mother gets too busy to worry about him.
Lu Jiao walked out to prepare dinner.
Because of tomorrow’s surgery, Lu Jiao prepared only light and bland food. After eating, she asked Xie Yunjin to rest early.
“Sleep and let go of your anxiety. Dr. Qi reassured me that nothing bad will happen tomorrow. Don’t worry.”
Lu Jiao’s voice was warm and her words were comforting, Xie Yunjin relaxed after he heard what she had to say. He felt at peace – very soon, he’ll be able to walk like a normal person.
With an unspeakable amount of happiness, Xie Yunjin’s eyes softened. Under the dimly lit light, his beauty was comparable to jade.
Lu Jiao left the room with the empty dinner bowls. Outside, there was a furious voice, “Lu Jiao, get the hell over here! Where did my daughter go?”
Lu Jiao recognized this voice. It was Widow Li. So Shen Xiu still hasn’t returned?
Lu Jiao’s eyes darkened.
From outside the gates, three people came in. Widow Li was the leader of them and behind her were Luo Wangcai and Shen Xiaoshan.
Both of those men have been beaten up by Lu Jiao before. The sight of Lu Jiao made them subconsciously retreat.
Widow Li violently demanded, “Lu Jiao, where’s my daughter? Did you set her up?”
Lu Jiao laughed and slammed the empty bowl in her hand toward Widow Li.
Widow Li was dumbfounded by the attack and forgot to react. Behind her, Luo Wangcai pulled her away. The bowl slid by Widow Li’s face and hit the ground, breaking into tiny pieces.
Widow Li’s face whitened. If Luo Wangcai didn’t pull her away, she would’ve been hit and wounded.
Before Widow Li could speak, Lu Jiao narrowed her eyes at her, “Widow Li, you can eat a lot of food but you cannot speak too many words. If you dare to wrongly accuse me again, I will sew up your mouth.”
In the dark light, Lu Jiao’s furious face made Widow Li shudder.
Still, she mumbled, “My daughter still hasn’t returned. If you didn’t set her up, then where did she go?”
Lu Jiao provoked, “How much did you pay me to look after your daughter? She didn’t come home so you are asking for her inside my home? If she’s dead, you’re going to accuse me of killing her?
Since you are suspicious of me setting your daughter up, then go to the judge and ask for an investigation. I’ll wait for you.”
Widow Li’s face dropped. She didn’t dare to do that.
She wasn’t sure if Lu Jiao was the culprit. That was merely a guess. If she made this into an official investigation, they would investigate her and she may end up getting punished for all the things she’s done.
Widow Li was scared off. She asked speedily, “You really didn’t see my daughter?”
Before Lu Jiao could answer, Lady Tian rushed out and cursed colorfully, “Widow Li, what’s your daughter’s disappearance have anything to do with my daughter? You’re a crazy woman! Your own daughter didn’t come home and instead of going and looking for her, you invade my daughter’s home?! Is the inside of your head made out of sh!t?”
