Chapter 828: Chapter 827: You Don’t Understand!
Lin Dong thought that his eldest sister was already having a tough ti while being away from ho. If he told her about this matter, it would only cause her unnecessary worry.
So he decided it would be better to wait to ntion it when they t in person.
“Has ng Xiangnan gone back to school?” Lin Xia asked, “How’s his sister doing?”
“He did! He’s been attending classes for a few days, but he doesn’t look well. I heard his sister needs to stay in the hospital for a month.” Lin Dong actually felt quite surprised and sympathetic when he first heard about it, but rembering the grievances between their families, he forced himself to stay detached and not think about it.
Lin Xia had a thought. Now that misfortune had befallen ng Xiangzi, would their family bla them and seek revenge on her brother?
From her past dealings with the ng family, this scenario wasn’t far-fetched.
“Dongzi! Your brother-in-law and I have run into ng Xiangzi twice, and both tis she was dealing with treasury bonds.” Lin Xia cautioned Lin Dong, “Stay away from ng Xiangnan. Don’t believe anything he says! I’m worried he’ll try to get back at you!”
Out of everyone in the family, Lin Xia was most worried about her brother, who was at the sa school as ng Xiangnan.
It was easier before he went to university; transferring schools would have been an option. But now, there was no way he could transfer, and they could only hope he graduated soon.
“I know, sis! I’ll be careful!” Lin Dong had beco used to being wary of ng Xiangnan. He knew he was the person his sister worried about the most, so he certainly didn’t plan to get into any trouble…
In a single patient room with a fairly good environnt at the hospital.
Sunlight filtered into the room from the window, but it did little to warm the hearts of those inside.
On the hospital bed lay ng Xiangzi, lonely and frail. Her face was pale, and her lips no longer had their rosy color. She stared blankly out the window, lost in thought.
The door to the room opened, and Hua Yongfang entered, carrying food she had bought outside.
Hua Yongfang, despite not being very old, now had half her hair turned white from the worry and anxiety over her daughter’s accident.
Nothing makes a person look more worn out and aged than graying hair.
“Sweetheart, eat a little. I brought you so porridge,” Hua Yongfang said.
“I’m not hungry!” ng Xiangzi’s voice was harsh and cracked, like a traveler in the desert who hadn’t had water for a long ti. “Mom! It must be Lin Xia who set up. I can’t think of anyone else who would want to harm . You must tell my uncle to find soone to avenge .”
Hua Yongfang sat in a nearby chair, understanding the depth of her daughter’s hatred for Lin Xia but also wanting to see things rationally.
They did have grievances, but not to the extent that anyone would hire a robber or attempt to harm her daughter to this degree.
“Xiangzi, it may not be her… she was with her husband together… Your uncle investigated through so contacts, and although the perpetrator hasn’t been caught, it appears to be the work of a habitual offender…”
To Hua Yongfang, it seed like her daughter was bewitched, always talking about the sa things.
Whenever she showed disagreent, her daughter would throw a fit and cry.
But what could she do? Should she really go against her judgnt to retaliate against Lin Xia? Even if her brother agreed, they had already suffered losses in past conflicts with Lin Xia.
If she personally sought revenge and sothing went wrong while her daughter needed a month’s hospital stay, who would genuinely take care of her?
Her son wanted to stay but was sent back to school. They couldn’t afford any more troubles in their family.
“Even if it’s a habitual offender, Lin Xia must have ordered it! Mom! I ran into Lin Xia twice while out of town. Isn’t that proof enough?
There are things I can’t tell you, but you have to believe . It’s definitely Lin Xia who wants to destroy . She can’t stand seeing better off than her or richer than her.
If I hadn’t encountered this, my money… my wealth…” ng Xiangzi felt a wave of sadness at the thought of how much money she had lost.
If only she hadn’t been so greedy, if she had left in ti, would she not have been targeted, robbed, and injured?
“Sweetheart, don’t cry! We can make more money, but if sothing happens to you, nothing else will matter… you must take care of yourself.”
ng Xiangzi slowly shook her head, “Mom, you don’t understand!”
“Tell so I can understand. Don’t keep it bottled up, just say it!” Hua Yongfang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
ng Xiangzi gave a bitter laugh. How could she say it?
She didn’t dare reveal the shocking truth to her mother, afraid the family might think she was ntally ill and send her away.
She was soone reborn, but why couldn’t she achieve the great success she was ant to, instead, almost ending up empty-handed again?
She hated Lin Xia, believing Lin Xia had taken her man, her luck, her wealth, her everything.
Even if her mother was too timid and distrustful to help, there would co a day when she could retaliate fiercely, even if it ant mutual destruction…
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng went out and made a lot of money, and they had already planned how to spend it.
Lin Xia thought about buying a house, but the timing wasn’t right yet.
Lu Zheng suggested saving the money for now since there was no suitable investnt opportunity.
Lin Xia vaguely rembered that stocks could make money in the future, but she had forgotten which stocks.
They didn’t want to fight an unprepared battle, so they decided to save the money as Lu Zheng suggested and only use it when necessary.
Soon after their return, they got a congratulatory call from Lin Qiu.
It turned out Lin Qiu had finally confird her pregnancy.
This news delighted Lin Xia and everyone else!
Lin Qiu had married late last October, and since Kang Yijun was often away, it was normal for them not to have children yet.
However, the elder family mbers were getting anxious about it, and Lin Qiu herself hoped to get pregnant soon.
Now her wish had co true.
Lin Xia advised her with concern, “Xiaoqiu, since you’re pregnant, you should close your store and not overwork yourself!”
Pregnancy was not like other things. With severe pregnancy symptoms, running a store or even just lying in bed could still be uncomfortable.
Financially, their family wasn’t struggling, so there was no need to wear herself out.
“I know, sis! My mother-in-law said the sa. But the store has a lot of inventory, and if the styles beco outdated, it’ll all be deadstock. I’m thinking of hiring soone to sell it. I’m looking for help right now!”
Lin Xia smiled and shook her head, “Xiaoqiu! Why go to all that trouble? Even if you hire soone, you won’t trust them without being there. In the end, you’ll still end up closing the store, right?
How about this: get so help to pack the inventory and send it to . I can find so wholesale buyers to clear it out!”
“Alright! I’ll ask our big brothers to help!”
“Yes! Have them help pack up! Then you won’t have to worry about anything! And, Xiaoqiu, if there’s anything you crave, just buy it, and if you can’t find it there, I’ll get it for you!”
“Okay, sis, I’ll let you know if I crave anything!”
Lin Xia was genuinely happier about her sister’s pregnancy than she had been about her own.
Lin Qiu had ntioned more than once over the phone that she wanted to have a child soon.
That’s how parents often feel.
When their children are dating, they hope for a swift marriage. Once married, they imdiately start hoping for grandchildren.
So it was natural for Lin Qiu’s in-laws to feel that way.
