Chapter 521: Chapter 520 Unexpected

Lin Chun laughed and said, "Xiaoxia, just relax! Xiaoqiu is at home! There’s no way she’ll be ill-treated! Once I get back, I’ll report to my work unit!"

If it hadn’t been for his eldest sister’s wedding, he might have just gone to his work unit after returning.

"Okay!" Lin Xia then looked at Lin Qiu, "Xiaoqiu, if you’re too tired after returning home, don’t open the clothing store for now!"

Lin Xia was more concerned. She worried that someone from the Wu Family might bother Lin Qiu again in her absence, but she couldn’t say this outright.

Lin Qiu held Lin Xia’s hand and laughed, "It’s fine, Sis! I’m not tired! It’s a busy time right now, and I’m thinking of earning some more money for the New Year!"

She understood what her sister was worried about. If it were during the time she stayed at her grandfather’s, she would have been concerned too.

Concerned that she still couldn’t forget Wu Zhengyang and would lose composure when facing the neighbors.

But ever since she saw Wu Zhengyang in the backyard that day, she knew she wouldn’t! Now, she could remain unmoved by anyone from the Wu Family; they were no different from strangers in her eyes.

Song Zhiya knew quite a bit about Lin Qiu’s issues with the neighbors and could clearly see what Lin Xia was worried about.

She chimed in from the side, "Lin Xia, don’t worry! I’m also here to keep her company and help out!"

Lin Xia felt grateful, "Okay, Cousin! Thanks for taking the trouble! We’ll be heading back in a few days!"

"Don’t worry about it!"

Lin Xia sent them off to the train with reluctance.

For some reason, although she’d been to the provincial city many times to stock up goods, she’d never felt the kind of unexplainable sense of belonging she did at that moment.

Maybe it was because of Lu Zheng. This place could also be considered home!

"Let’s go!" Lu Zheng said, gently wrapping his arm around Lin Xia and walking towards the station exit.

"Should we go to the hospital to see how things are?" Lin Xia asked as she got into the car. "Are Mom and Dad okay there?"

"They’re fine! We won’t go today. Let’s wait for tomorrow," Lu Zheng felt his grandmother’s illness was, after all, not Lin Xia’s fault! He didn’t want Lin Xia to endure any more of that.

Moreover, it was their first day of marriage and they’d already gone to the hospital. He already felt sorry for her; how could he bear to let her go to the hospital again?

"That’s good too," Lin Xia leaned back in the seat. She admitted that waiting anxiously in the hospital corridor earlier had been tough on her.

She also reflected on whether she had gone too far in the past.

But the subsequent events truly didn’t have much to do with her!

It was just fate playing tricks...

The next day, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng bought some nutritional supplements and visited Fang Youlan in the hospital.

In the ward, someone was helping Fang Youlan change her clothes; Lu Qing came out, intending to take a breather, but unexpectedly saw Lin Xia and Lu Zheng arriving together.

The winter sun shone through the cold window into the corridor, and Lu Qing squinted her eyes.

She looked forward to seeing what kind of extreme reaction her grandmother would have when she saw Lin Xia’s appearance.

After all, her grandmother detested Lin Xia so much!

"Lu Qing! Why are you outside? Is Grandmother sleeping?" Lu Zheng directly asked.

Lu Qing’s eyelids twitched, concealing the different colors in her eyes, "No! My aunts are helping Grandmother tidy up. Big brother, let’s wait a while before going in!"

Even if she was biased against Lin Xia, she dared not show it in front of Lu Zheng.

After all, she saw for herself how much Lu Zheng cared and doted on Lin Xia.

"Okay!" Lu Zheng, holding Lin Xia’s hand, stood to the side.

The three of them waited outside in silence, the atmosphere growing subtly tense.

Lin Xia maintained a calm exterior, but inside, she felt uneasy, uncertain of what reaction Lu Zheng’s grandmother would have upon seeing her.

After all, the old lady had once forcefully demanded her to break up with Lu Zheng, which ended quite unpleasantly.

But given the current circumstances, she couldn’t possibly refuse to visit the elderly woman.

Lu Zheng naturally sensed Lin Xia’s tension. He gave her a gentle smile and soothed her, "Don’t worry! I’m here!"

Lin Xia nodded vigorously, "Mm!" She knew that with Lu Zheng by her side, she indeed felt much more reassured and at ease.

Lu Qing quietly turned her head and curled her lip; her big brother really doted on Lin Xia! Treating her like a precious treasure!

He didn’t even blame her when Grandma was so angered by Lin Xia that she ended up in the hospital!

He really was one of a kind, choosing his love over his family!

She felt indignant inside, wondering just how Lin Xia managed to be so cherished by her big brother and also deeply loved by Jiang Mingyuan.

The moment she thought of Jiang Mingyuan, her heart ached, and her mood quickly soured.

Just then, the door of the sickroom opened from the inside, and Lu Hailing came out with a basin of dirty clothes.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia called out in unison, "Auntie."

Lu Hailing sighed in acknowledgment, her expression cold as she looked at Lin Xia, "Come in."

Following Lu Zheng into the sickroom, Lin Xia saw that aside from Lu Shuhui, Shao Meirou, and Song Wanjun were also there.

They greeted each other in soft voices.

Fang Youlan lay on the hospital bed, her hair neatly combed to the back, and her complexion didn’t look very good.

But those caring for her could see that her eyes were much more spirited than before, at least showing the determination to recover.

Fang Youlan clenched her teeth secretly. From the moment Lin Xia appeared before her, her eyes flashed with anger and vehemence.

Unfortunately, she now couldn’t even speak clearly, let alone punish Lin Xia. At most, she could only curse inarticulately and loudly.

What good would that do? Better to bide her time for now, and once she recovered, there would be ample opportunities to make this little peddler’s life difficult.

So, in order to have her grandchildren siding with her in the future, she certainly wouldn’t make trouble for Lin Xia in front of them this time.

Lu Zheng placed some items on the cabinet beside the bed and looked down at Fang Youlan, "Grandma! We’re here! Xiaoxia! Call her!"

Lu Qing looked expectantly at Fang Youlan, eager to see how her grandmother would embarrass Lin Xia.

Lin Xia pursed her lips and obediently called out, "Grandma!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, but to Fang Youlan’s ears, it seemed excessively delicate and affected.

"Mm..." Fang Youlan looked at Lin Xia and moved her head slightly in acknowledgment.

Lu Qing was astoundingly surprised; she felt that her grandmother shouldn’t be so calm in facing Lin Xia!

Could it be out of regard for Lin Xia’s grandfather? She secretly speculated, convincing herself that must be the case...

Lin Xia was equally surprised by Fang Youlan’s reaction. She had assumed that Fang Youlan would not show her any kindness upon seeing her.

To her surprise, Fang Youlan remained calm, and although inarticulate, she did not embarrass Lin Xia, which greatly relieved her.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia exchanged a glance, and he gave her a reassuring look.

What they didn’t realize was that Fang Youlan’s hand under the blanket was clenched tightly; she was struggling to control her anger.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng didn’t stay too long in the sickroom; as the nurse came in to give an injection, they got up to leave.

Once out of the hospital, Lin Xia let out a soft sigh of relief, "I really didn’t expect your grandma to actually not..."

She had braced herself for Fang Youlan to make things difficult for her, but it didn’t happen, which was certainly the most unexpected.
