The old lady became angrier and angrier as she spoke. In her eyes, her son was the best man in the world, even better than his father and her husband. So naturally she was unwilling to let her son marry such a wife.
"Now my son is even clamoring to marry her daughter and bring her home. Tell me, wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I became a relative of such a person?"
The old lady looked as if she was about to complain.
Xia Xingchen didn't expect that Xia Xingkong would be discussing marriage with someone again. She subconsciously murmured, "So soon? She's not..."
Having said this, she noticed the old lady's glowing eyes and stopped talking.
Wasn't Xia Xingkong very sad when she and Xu Yan broke off their engagement? However, people can quickly change their emotions. Just like how my father felt towards my mother...
"What's so fast? You just said, she's not what?" The old lady had sharp ears and caught her words immediately. Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at her. "Little girl, don't hide it from me. I can tell. There is something fishy going on. Could it be that...she was actually married to someone before?"
Xia Xingchen felt that the old lady didn't look that smart, but she was still sharp when she was smart. She said, "You should ask them yourself. She hasn't left yet. You can talk to her and she will probably know everything."
The old lady subconsciously glanced at the door, thought seriously, and patted her hands, "You are really smart! Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, I have to go find her!"
The old lady stood up, and Xia Xingchen also stood up to see her off. Seeing her gentle and considerate appearance, the old lady could not help but feel even more distressed. There are so many women in this world, and any one she met today would be very pleasing to the eye. Why is Ye Qing so short-sighted? He really doesn't look like a short-sighted person!
The old lady said goodbye to Xia Xingchen and walked out quickly. Xia Xingchen heard her asking the security guard Li Lingyi where she was going, so she asked someone to stop Li Lingyi.
As she cleaned up, she asked the medical staff, "Who is this lady?"
The medical staff looked at each other, shook their heads, and kept silent. Xia Xingchen understood that they did not dare to reveal each other's identities without permission, and she did not embarrass them. She just smiled, did not ask any more questions, and squatted down to pick up the mess on the ground.
… … … …
Li Ling had just left the hospital and before she got into the car when her cell phone rang. She was so angry that she almost pulled the phone out of her bag with all her strength. However, when she saw the word "husband" flashing on the screen, she became listless and lost all her energy.
She held the phone and walked back and forth beside the car, feeling that the phone was like a hot potato. She didn't dare to answer it, but she didn't dare to hang up either, so she just let it ring. But the ringing made her feel restless.
Hateful Xia Xingchen!
When the phone stopped ringing, Li Ling opened the car door and was about to get in, but she saw several people running towards her.
"Ma'am, our lady wants to see you, so we must ask you to come over."
Li Ling looked at them and asked, "Who is your wife?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Li Ling was suspicious, but she had nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. The toilet cleaning work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was on holiday today, so she was free to do nothing. She thought about it, locked the car, and followed them.
… … … … … …
The old lady was waiting in the hospital's reception room. This kind of reception room is specially prepared for these super VIP guests. The view on the 20th floor is quite good, and the river view of the city is downstairs.
When Li Ling entered, the old lady was sitting on the sofa, with one hand lazily resting on the armrest of the sofa. Behind her, Aunt Lin was massaging her shoulders.
"Ma'am, the area on your shoulder feels a little stiff. Are you having trouble sleeping recently?"
"Because of my son's problem, I have been worried about it for several nights and haven't slept well. How can I have a good sleep?"
Aunt Lin advised, "These are young people's affairs. You may worry about them, but your health is more important. I think after the examination, I will ask Director Chen to prescribe some prescriptions to calm your nerves."
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
As soon as Li Ling came in and walked in front of them, the old lady didn't even raise her noble eyelids. She just gestured lazily with her fingers, "Sit down, Madam Xia."
The tone of voice was no longer as friendly and pleasant as when she spoke to Aunt Lin just now. Instead, it was condescending, arrogant and overbearing. Old Mrs. Bai was not happy to even pretend to be nice to someone she didn't like.
"Is it you?" Li Ling remembered her. She looked around and saw rows of followers standing behind her. She was sure that she must be someone of high status. However, she didn't want to lose, so she put down her bag and stood straight. "What do you want from me?"
"I just heard you say outside that your daughter is in love with our Ye Qing." The old lady took a sip of coffee and asked lazily. Her tone was cold and her eyes were shining coldly when she glanced at Li Ling.
Li Ling was shocked by that look. When she came to her senses, she thought about what the old lady had just said.
His expression changed. "The Ye Qing you are talking about is..."
Not only did his expression lose its previous arrogance, but even his voice became softer, and the word "you" instantly became "you". The rapid change in attitude was even more ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders.
"You can't even figure out my son's name, and you dare to say that your daughter and my son are in love?"
"So... you are the president's mother!" Li Ling stood up and extended her hand. "Hello, nice to meet you! I... I lost my composure earlier and made you laugh."
The old lady glanced at her and didn't extend her hand. Li Lingyi had to withdraw her hand awkwardly. However, it was also exciting to be able to sit and chat with the president's mother face to face. Thinking of this, she envied Xia Xingchen even more. She was so lucky! She hooked up with the president for no apparent reason! If the president had taken a fancy to their Xingkong, she could really call the old lady "mother-in-law" now.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Shen Min again. If Xia Xingchen really married the president and became the first lady of their country, wouldn't Shen Min be promoted to the mother of the first lady? Then in the future, no matter her status and position, she would be several levels higher than herself. That would be unacceptable!
The old lady was sitting opposite, and no one knew what she was thinking. She just said, "Madam Xia, since I asked you to come here, I will get straight to the point - just tell me a number!"
