Qingkong unconsciously squeezed Mu Chenhao's hand, and then felt more at ease.
"Ziming, I made you laugh."
Xia Qingchuan suddenly made such a fuss, which made Xia Zhenghua feel a little embarrassed. He looked at Mu Ziming with some embarrassment. He didn't expect that his second daughter was so unsatisfactory, and he had been hurting her for decades in vain.
"It's okay, Zhenghua. Let's continue talking about the engagement. July 18th this month is a good day. How about choosing this day to get engaged?" Mu Ziming smiled lightly, as if what happened just now had not happened. Same.
Born into a wealthy family, Mu Ziming was used to this kind of thing and was indifferent to favors and humiliations.
He knew Mantou's skills very well, and there was no way Qingkong could be hurt.
"Okay, hey, it's all my fault for not getting Qingkong back as soon as possible. I left her outside for so many years and suffered a lot." Xia Zhenghua looked remorseful.
Qingkong noticed that Xia Zhenghua's hair seemed to have a lot of white strands. It must be this incident with Xia Qingchuan that had a big impact on him.
"Just get her back. I won't treat her badly when she marries into my family." Mu Ziming touched his beard and glanced at Xia Qingkong with great satisfaction.
Seeing such eyes, Qingkong unconsciously leaned closer to Mu Chenhao, feeling a little shy.
In a few words, Qingkong and Mu Chenhao's engagement ceremony was officially decided. After lunch, the three of them were about to say goodbye to the Xia family and go home.
Qingkong also wanted to take time to visit her adoptive mother Xie Qiuzhen in the afternoon.
After Xie Qiuzhen was taken to the Mu family's private hospital, Qingkong also asked Xu Fei to do a detailed physical examination for her, thinking that she could get a physical report this afternoon.
Because the sky was clear today, Mr. Xia was in a much better mood. He still drank a lot of wine at the dinner table.
Qingkong asked tentatively.
"Dad, didn't you say before that you would transfer my adoptive mother to the best hospital? Which hospital was it? I never asked you. I want to see him this afternoon."
Xia Zhenghua poured another glass of wine and said, "Well, yes, Miaoyu arranged this matter. I didn't ask. I'll ask when she comes out later."
In Xia Zhenghua's heart, Shen Miaoyu had always been a virtuous, kind-hearted and good woman. In front of him, she had always been very generous to Xia Qingkong, which moved Xia Zhenghu very much.
Hearing the words Shen Miaoyu, Qingkong and Mu Chenhao looked at each other and understood what was going on, "Dad, actually, Chen Hao and I visited my adoptive mother yesterday... She was placed in a home The dilapidated hospital...there are cockroaches and mosquitoes flying everywhere, and the sanitary environment is extremely poor.”
Qingkong was about to shed tears as she spoke, her watery autumn eyes filled with tears, which made people feel so distressed!
"Little girl, your acting is good." Mu Chenhao held Qingkong in his arms and whispered into Qingkong's ear, seemingly comforting his sad little wife.
"Huh." Qingkong snorted softly and continued to cry.
"Come here, go get my wife over here." Xia Zhenghua's face turned pale when he heard this, he slapped the table and shouted.
The servants on the side trembled when they heard this and ran upstairs, but they had never seen the old man so angry before.
At this time, Shen Miaoyu was comforting Xia Qingchuan in Xia Qingchuan's room, telling her to be patient, and she would definitely let Xia Qingkong die without a burial place. Xia Qingchuan's mood became better now.
"Madam, I will let you pass."
Shen Miaoyu's eyes turned cold, "Did you tell me what happened?"
Many of the servants in this family are hers, so Shen Miaoyu has nothing to worry about.
"The eldest lady cried to the master, saying that her adoptive mother was not sent to the best hospital for treatment. The hospital was in shabby condition. The master looked very angry now." The servant reported truthfully.
"Um."
There was a strange smile on Shen Miaoyu's lips.
Sure enough, Xia Qingkong's purpose when she came back today was not simple. Fortunately, she had already prepared a backup plan.
Shen Miaoyu took a deep breath and told Xia Qingchuan to have a good rest. Being too angry would not be good for the child in her belly.
Then he straightened his clothes and went to the hall.
"Zhenghua, are you looking for me?" Shen Miaoyu entered the living room, still acting like a lady, a good wife and mother, gentle and generous.
"Didn't I ask you to arrange for Qingkong's adoptive mother to go to the best hospital? How did you do it? Why did Qingkong say that hospital was in shabby condition?" Xia Zhenghua's expression was still not good, but Shen Miaoyu was the woman he liked. So when I asked, I wasn't too harsh.
"What, how is it possible? I asked that kid Yun Shen to handle this matter in person!" A trace of disbelief flashed on Shen Miaoyu's face, and I then ordered the servants on the side.
"Go and call Yun Shen."
Zhou Yunshen is the son of the old housekeeper of the Xia family. After the old housekeeper retired, Zhou Yunshen has always been responsible for all the chores of the Xia family.
Hearing Shen Miaoyu say that Zhou Yunshen was ordered to do this, Qingkong had already guessed that this was the escape route paved by Shen Miaoyu.
After a while, Zhou Yunshen came over, bowed and said respectfully, "Master, madam, what are your orders?"
"Let me ask you, my wife asked you to arrange for the eldest daughter's adoptive mother to be admitted to the best hospital. What did you do?"
Zhou Yunshen replied, "I haven't entered that hospital yet. There is a queue for the best Chaoyang Hospital, so I first arranged him in a nearby hospital. There are people I know in that hospital, so I thought it would be easier to take care of him." "Yesterday afternoon, Chaoyang Hospital called me and told me that it finally had a bed. When I went to pick up the eldest lady's adoptive mother, the people at the hospital said that the eldest lady and Master Mu had already taken care of her. "
After hearing this, Mu Zhenhua's expression softened a little, "Why didn't you tell the eldest lady about this earlier? The eldest lady is filial and is very worried about her."
"I was negligent. I'm sorry, Miss." Zhou Yunshen turned around and bowed to Xia Qingkong.
Qingkong sneered in her heart, Zhou Yunshen should be Shen Miaoyu's person this time.
Qingkong suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Xia Zhenghua. If Qingkong hadn't returned, he would have been basically ignored in the entire family. The servants, housekeepers, and even the company, Shen Miaoyu, were all under control.
"Yeah, it's okay." Qingkong nodded.
There is no point in dwelling on this matter anymore. Shen Miaoyu should have expected that Qingkong would find out, so she had taken precautions in advance.
Thinking of this, Qingkong smiled, "Dad, look, I'm going to be engaged to Chen Hao soon. Chen Hao is so capable. As his wife, I also need to train myself so that I can help him in the future, right? I checked. "Our Xia Corporation has an Internet gaming subsidiary called Phaeton Network, which has been losing money. Why don't you let me take over?"
Qingkong's words instantly changed Shen Miaoyu's expression, "No, Qingkong, Tenghui has been dealing with losses and will announce its closure after this year, so you don't have to go."
Qingkong had systematically studied psychology and micro-expression science. Seeing Shen Miaoyu's affection, she couldn't help but smile in her heart. There was indeed something fishy about this subsidiary.
"Oh, really? Then I want to try to see if I can bring my father's company back to life."
