For the first time in her life, she felt warmth and someone to rely on.
"Xue Qijing?" Mingxi whispered this strange yet familiar name.
As she watched the sky darken, she remembered that today was the day she would be discharged from the hospital.
Mingxi rolled around in her bed, feeling upset. She didn't know if she would see him tonight...
Just when Mingxi was feeling confused, someone pushed open the door of the ward.
Ming Xi sat up in fear, looked at the short but capable figure, and smiled, "Nanny!"
She jumped off the bed, hugged Old Lady Xue's neck, and said affectionately, "Grandma, I can just take a taxi back by myself. Why did you come all the way to pick me up?"
Mingxi felt that this lively and kind old grandmother was like her own grandmother. During the month she was in the hospital, she came to the hospital every day to accompany her, which made her feel less bored. The relationship between the two quickly became familiar and close.
Old Lady Xue pinched Mingxi's cheek, then smiled and said, "My baby is discharged from the hospital, so of course I have to come and pick him up! Hey, let grandma take a look at you. You look pretty energetic. Does your chest still hurt?"
Thinking of the day she was shot, her eyes were filled with deep heartache.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. With grandma taking care of me and loving me so much, I would have recovered long ago!" Mingxi looked at Grandma Xue with a bright smile on her face.
Now she won't feel lonely anymore, at least she has a grandma who really loves her. But how long can this relationship last? After all, she is not her granddaughter-in-law, but just a sinner!
Thinking of this, Mingxi felt depressed.
"Have you packed your things? Then let's go home and have a good meal as a family today!" Old Mrs. Xue signaled the attendant standing outside the door to come in, take Mingxi's luggage, then took Mingxi's hand and walked out of the ward.
When Mingxi heard about the "family" having dinner, she became nervous. She asked nervously, "Then will the young master also go home for dinner?"
Old Lady Xue frowned, patted Mingxi's hand gently, and said, "What do you mean by 'young master'? You should call him husband! Mingxi, why do you call him young master? Is he abusing you?"
Mingxi's face turned red and white, and she quickly changed the subject: "Grandma, let's go home quickly, I'm so hungry!"
Old Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly!" But when she saw Mingxi's evasive look, she knew what was going on.
In the past month, she had learned a lot from the servants about the affairs between her grandson and his wife. Seeing Mingxi's eyes flickering and evading her questions, she became more angry.
But she had an idea in her mind! Dare to bully her precious granddaughter-in-law? Kill her without mercy!
Mingxi and Old Lady Xue walked into the main hall of the house, chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered the door, Sister Ling greeted them with a smile: "Welcome home, Young Madam!"
Mingxi felt very awkward with this new name, but because Old Lady Xue was around, she just nodded politely to Sister Ling.
"Sister Ling, where are they?" asked Old Mrs. Xue.
"Ma'am, the two young masters are waiting for you to have dinner in the backyard!" Sister Ling still had a bright smile on her face, especially when she looked at Mingxi, her smile was even more flattering.
"Mingxi, let's go eat! Didn't you say you were hungry? Don't starve yourself!" Old Mrs. Xue glanced at Sister Ling, then pulled Mingxi towards the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Xue Qijing and Xue Qiwei were sitting next to rattan chairs. They just stared at each other coldly and had no intention of talking. Seeing Mingxi and Old Lady Xue coming, they stood up and walked towards them.
"Grandma!" Xue Qijing called out to Old Lady Xue politely.
But Xue Qiwei smiled evilly and shouted at Mingxi: "Congratulations on being discharged alive." Then he stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms...
Mingxi's whole body froze, her eyes widened as if they were two tubes, and she let Xue Qiwei hold her in her arms in a daze.
Xue Qiwei glanced at Xue Qijing and saw his face change color instantly. With a faint smile, he slightly raised his lips and deliberately raised his voice: "Fuck, why do I find you more attractive than beautiful women? In the future, I must marry a wife who looks exactly like you, fuck..." Why don't you just divorce my brother and marry me!
Before Xue Qiwei could finish his words, Old Lady Xue found a wooden stick from somewhere, went around behind Xue Qiwei, and hit him on the back mercilessly.
"You playboy, you actually set your eyes on your sister-in-law. Let her go or I'll beat you to death!"
Old Lady Xue took the wooden stick and hit Xue Qiwei hard. Xue Qiwei felt the pain and quickly let go of Ming Xi, then used his hand to block Old Lady Xue's wooden stick to protect his face.
"Grandma, why did you hit me?" Xue Qiwei jumped to avoid Grandma Xue's stick.
"You're a pervert, just like your grandfather. I'm going to beat you to death today!" Old Mrs. Xue slapped Xue Qiwei swiftly.
"Grandma, can you please give me some face? I'm grown up now, you can't hit me!"
"If I don't discipline you, you might dare to tease your mother if she were still alive!" Old Mrs. Xue was indignant.
When Xue Qiwei heard Old Lady Xue mention his mother, his eyes turned cold, but it only lasted for a moment, and he jumped and ran around the dining table.
"Hehe..." Mingxi couldn't help laughing when she saw Grandma Xue and Xue Qiwei. Her grandma was really a funny guy.
However, when she looked at Xue Qijing, her smile immediately faded. She walked to Xue Qijing's side, looked at his handsome face with a cold expression, and whispered, "Master, I..."
Xue Qi snorted coldly, then walked to the dining table and separated the two people who were fighting, "Grandma, let's eat first! If we don't eat now, the food will get cold!"
Old Mrs. Xue stared at Old Mrs. Xue breathlessly, then asked loudly, "Is it wrong?"
Boss Xue Qiwei glanced at Old Lady Xue unhappily.
When Old Mrs. Xue saw his appearance, she was so angry that she raised her stick to hit him.
"Grandma, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!" Xue Qiwei jumped aside and said pitifully.
"That's good, let's eat!" Old Mrs. Xue sat down, then glanced at Mingxi who was standing aside obediently with her head lowered as if she had been wronged. She stood up and pulled Mingxi to sit down at the dining table, and glanced at Xue Qiwei and said, "Mingxi, it's okay. If he dares to harass you again in the future, don't be afraid to tell grandma. Grandma will take care of it for you!"
Mingxi nodded and stole a glance at Xue Qijing, seeing that he was enjoying the night view of the yard calmly.
"That's good. Didn't you say you were hungry? We have both Chinese and Western food here. Eat whatever you want!" Old Mrs. Xue couldn't wait to put food into Mingxi's bowl.
As soon as Mingxi sat down, Xue Qijing coughed deliberately. Mingxi was so scared that she stood up immediately and shouted, "Master!"
Xue Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, glanced at her sideways, and said nothing.
Mingxi was frightened by his cold eyes and immediately lowered her head. How could she, with her status, be qualified to eat at the same table with him
"Mingxi, why did you stand up suddenly? Sit down quickly!" Old Lady Xue held Mingxi's body, then glared at Xue Qijing, "I see someone's skin is itchy. It's just right. I'm full of energy today. I haven't used up all my strength just now, so I can still help scratch that itch!"
Xue Qi was surprised to hear this, grinned, then pointed at the dishes on the table, glanced at Ming Xi and said, "I made the Western food, and he made the Chinese food, you choose one!"
When Mingxi heard this, she was immediately stunned!
She looked up and glanced at Xue Qijing timidly, then looked at Xue Qiwei and found that he was looking at her expectantly.
Mingxi puffed her lips and looked at the Chinese and Western food on the table, with a fierce struggle going on in her mind.
She didn't know which one to choose! To be honest, she liked Chinese food, and she was always uncomfortable with Western food. If she chose Western food, she would probably vomit it out, and if she chose Chinese food, Xue Qijing would be unhappy...
It's so contradictory!
"Mingxi, just pick one!" Old Mrs. Xue saw Mingxi's hesitation and stood up to remind her, "What they cook is very delicious. Your grandma and I like them very much, hehe!"
