398: Chapter 397: Probably Frustrated by 398: Chapter 397: Probably Frustrated by Before Lin Xia and her companions could exchange a few words, a weak voice ca from inside the hospital room, “Qingqing!
Co in!”
Lu Qing nodded at Lin Xia and the others and pushed the door to enter the room.
Jiang Mingyuan stepped aside, walking a few steps away, and Lin Xia and Lin Qiu followed him.
So things, of course, couldn’t be discussed at the entrance of the hospital room.
He asked in a low voice, “How did the old lady end up like this?” He was truly worried for Lin Xia.
Luckily, it wasn’t serious, otherwise there really would have been no way to explain things to Lu Zheng.
Although he still had feelings for Lin Xia until now, the two had already cleared the air that day;
Since she was in a relationship with Lu Zheng, he naturally wished her well, hoping she would be happy with Lu Zheng, rather than ending up heartbroken and miserable.
Lin Xia helplessly spread her hands and whispered, “I guess she was upset because of !”
She wasn’t sure whether the old lady had already been feeling unwell with her heart, or if it was her words that had triggered the episode.
After all, she had also been extrely angered by the old lady at that ti.
Her eldest brother Lin Chun was her Achilles’ heel, and what she dreaded most was Lu Zheng’s family using him to manipulate her.
As a result, not only did his grandmother threaten her, but she had also said so much; in the heat of the mont, she had no other thought but to not indulge her!
Jiang Mingyuan and Lin Qiu exchanged glances, both thinking this was sothing Lin Xia could do.
If Lin Xia could even go as far as committing her own father to a ntal hospital, she certainly wouldn’t put up with grief from this unrelated old lady!
Lin Qiu both admired and felt bouts of fear regarding her sister.
Jiang Mingyuan coughed softly and asked, “So, what do we do next?”
Now that Lu Zheng’s grandmother was in the hospital, if this wasn’t handled properly, it could easily affect Lin Xia’s relationship with Lu Zheng.
“I don’t know!
Maybe I’ll see if I can call Lu Zheng later to let him know!” Lin Xia was at a loss too.
She was actually feeling uneasy, not knowing whether Lu Zheng would get angry.
After all, the person in question wasn’t just anyone; she was his grandmother.
“That’s a good idea!
Better you tell him first than his family.
It puts you at an advantage…” Jiang Mingyuan helped her analyze.
If Lu Zheng’s family were to tell him, they would inevitably include their personal emotions.
Furthermore, hearing this situation, one might think Lin Xia was the one at fault.
Lin Xia nodded continuously, “Okay!
I’ll call him in a bit!” She then asked, “Second brother!
How did you get to know Lu Zheng’s sister?”
Those two had a very distant relationship!
Lin Qiu also looked at Jiang Mingyuan, having held her curiosity for quite a while, wondering how these two had co together.
“She was Xiaoqing’s university classmate!
She ca to my restaurant to eat today…
I didn’t know before that she was Lu Zheng’s sister!
Later, she couldn’t find the old lady at the hotel and ca to my restaurant in her anxiety to ask about you…” Jiang Mingyuan briefly explained what had happened.
“Well, that’s really quite the coincidence!”
“Yeah!”
The Lin sisters couldn’t help but exclaim that the world was indeed small.
“Actually, I never thought about it!
She had a good relationship with Xiaoqing in college!
I heard about her before, but never connected her to Lu Zheng…”
Jiang Mingyuan also found it amusing that after a full circle, his sister’s college classmate’s brother would be Lu Zheng!
Surely, when Lu Zheng found out, he must have been stunned!
In the hospital room, Lu Qing sat beside the bed with red-rimd eyes, holding Fang Youlan’s hand, trying hard not to cry.
“Grandma!
You really scared !
Are you feeling any better now?”
On her way here, she had thought of countless possibilities and didn’t dare to think negatively, yet she couldn’t help but consider what she would do if her grandmother really had a serious problem…
She regretted greatly that she had agreed to help her grandmother et her elder brother’s girlfriend in secret.
If anything serious had happened to her grandmother, how would she explain it to her family?
Fang Youlan’s voice was weak as she tried to reassure her, “Qingqing!
Grandma is not seriously ill!
Don’t worry!”
She paused and then said, “Grandma still feels suffocated!
Being scolded by a young girl at my age, it really frustrates !”
Fang Youlan still felt quite angry even at that mont, she knew from the first glance that Lin Xia was not a weak person, but she never anticipated that she’d be so formidable!
Her lips moved rapid-fire, one retort after another!
“Grandma!
Don’t be angry!
I don’t think Lin Xia did it on purpose!” Lu Qing had only just t and introduced themselves to each other, and hadn’t had the chance to say much.
But from the first look, she felt that Lin Xia was not a troublemaker.
Fang Youlan angrily withdrew her hand, “Qingqing!
Are you not standing with but speaking for a stranger?”
Lu Qing beca anxious, that wasn’t what she ant; she only thought this might be a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
“Grandma!
Don’t be angry!
I definitely stand by your side!
But didn’t we agree to go together in the afternoon?
Why did you go by yourself?”
Fang Youlan shifted her gaze unnaturally, explaining, “I couldn’t sleep in the hotel, thought I might as well et her and see what her family was like…
I never expected it to turn out like this!”
She turned her gaze back to her granddaughter, looking concerned, and disclosed her plan, “Qingqing!
Call your elder brother later!
Tell him I’m hospitalized,”
“You tell him the real reason!
Make my condition sound more serious!”
She didn’t believe that Lu Zheng, as much as he liked Lin Xia, would have no opinion of Lin Xia because of this incident.
She had probably failed to influence Lin Xia by being tough or gentle, so using this unexpected event to create misunderstandings and fissures between the two seed like a better tactic.
“Ah?” Lu Qing didn’t want to make the call, and said hesitantly, “Grandma!
That doesn’t seem right!
Weren’t we here quietly?
As soon as I call my elder brother, everybody at ho will know!
Then grandfather…”
Fang Youlan couldn’t consider that much anymore; even if she knew the old man and her eldest son might get angry knowing what she had done, she couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Her eyes rimming with tears, she spoke with a sense of grievance, “Qingqing!
I was so upset by Lin Xia that I blacked out and knew nothing!
What if I had never woken up!
Would you not call them?”
Tears instantly fell from Lu Qing’s eyes, “Grandma!
I’ll call!
I’ll make the call, okay?” She patted Fang Youlan’s hand, slowly stood up, “You rest with your eyes closed!
I’ll co back to take care of you later!”
“Good!
Grandma will be waiting for you!” Fang Youlan also felt uneasy inside; she was using her granddaughter, but at such a mont, she felt she had no choice.
“Right!
Call your grandaunt too and let her know!”
“Okay!” Lu Qing walked out of the hospital room with heavy steps.
