After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 378 - 376 This vicious woman!
Chapter 378: Chapter 376 This vicious woman!
Wen Qingyu thought this, and her entire being brimmed with happiness.
She winked at Xu Zhenzhen, "While no one else has noticed, shall we help them loosen up a bit?"
Xu Zhenzhen, seeing Wen Qingyu’s eagerness, agreed without a second thought.
The two of them didn’t care whether Feng Jiyue really had a broken arm or leg, they just piled Hao Li on top of him and pushed the pair to the restroom on that floor.
Then they hung up an "Out of Order" sign.
It wasn’t until much later in the day that the two emerged from the restroom with smiles on their faces and vanished down the corridor in perfect unison.
By the time Feng Jiyue and Hao Li were discovered and rescued from the restroom and had received treatment, it was already afternoon.
Old Master Song sat in the hospital room looking at the two people lying side by side, his eyebrows knitted into a knot.
If he hadn’t just happened to be in the hospital, he definitely wouldn’t have gone out of his way to visit them.
But since he was indeed in the hospital, he had heard that Hao Li and Feng Jiyue had been beaten up and someone had forced their heads into a toilet, covering them in filthy water.
This was certainly an intentional act of vengeance.
Old Master Song was somewhat puzzled. Feng Jiyue and Hao Li had only recently arrived in Shangjing; how could they have so often been the victims of beatings?
He had heard, Feng Jiyue was either involved in conflicts with people in the hospital or harmed due to some hospital family clashes.
Trouble seemed to follow him all day long.
And now, they had been beaten up in a restroom.
What kind of deep hatred or grievance was this?
"Old Master, you must help us find the person who beat us up, wuwuwu... Our Jiaye really suffered too much, wuwuwu..."
Hao Li lay in the hospital bed, her face swollen and crying a river of tears.
Although there was an element of performance in front of Old Master Song, the sight of her son in such a state genuinely pained her heart.
Feng Jiyue had been inexplicably injured often recently, with the fractured areas hardly healing and multiplying instead.
This time was even worse.
Because Hao Li landed on top of him, she had further fractured his already broken body.
Now, Feng Jiyue not only had to have the fractured areas reopened, he also needed to undergo surgery again.
Thinking this, Hao Li became even more distressed.
"Old Master, our Jiaye..."
Before she could finish, the door to the hospital room was suddenly knocked on.
As Hao Li looked up, she saw the person entering was Xiao Jinglan, and her expression immediately soured, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Jinglan was also taken aback.
She had come to see Old Master Song. Hearing that Lu Zhaozhao was sick and hospitalized, she hoped to use this opportunity to curry favor with Old Master Song and perhaps find her way back into the Song Mansion.
But she hadn’t expected to run into Hao Li as soon as she arrived.
Her eyebrows furrowed, but she quickly regained her composure, curling her lips into a smile and saying, "I came to see Zhaozhao. I heard you were ill, too, so I thought I’d drop by."
"Heh..."
Hao Li scoffed inwardly. Come to see her?
She was clearly here to gloat!
Something’s not right... no matter how I think about this, it reeks of strangeness.
Could it have been done by this woman?
Hao Li’s heart suddenly clenched.
Such a thing was not impossible.
Lu Zhaozhao and Xiao Jinglan had a good relationship. Since Lu Zhaozhao had fallen ill, she definitely should’ve come to the hospital immediately, so why did she only arrive now?
And after her and her son had been treated?
She clearly came here to gloat at their misfortune, right?
This vicious woman!
Hao Li’s feelings of repulsion towards Xiao Jinglan instantly hit 200 percent.
Xiao Jinglan caught a glimpse of the hostility in Hao Li’s eyes and snorted coldly to herself; however, she asked with a gentle demeanor, "Old Master Song, what happened to these two? How did they get so badly hurt?"
Mr. Song smirked, thinking about the troublesome nature of the two, then glanced at Xiao Jinglan beside him and suddenly had an idea.
"These two somehow got beaten up in the hospital, and the place they were attacked was a blind spot for the cameras. In private places like the restroom, there are even fewer cameras."
Mr. Song let out a light sigh, "If you aren’t too busy lately, could you help look into this matter and take care of the two of them in the meantime? I’m an old man and can’t withstand such tolls."
Xiao Jinglan hadn’t expected that a simple hospital visit would result in Mr. Song "reactivating" her into service, although it involved dealing with the Feng family’s affairs, at least she was being made use of.
If she handled this well, Mr. Song might slowly start delegating authority to her again in the future.
Just like before.
With this thought, Xiao Jinglan suddenly felt spirited.
Since her last hospitalization, her health had been deteriorating, and even walking a bit more made her gasp for breath.
She had planned to rest for a while longer before finding another opportunity to approach the Song Mansion.
But now an opportunity had presented itself right into her hands, how could she pass it up?
Without hesitating, Xiao Jinglan nodded firmly, "Don’t worry, Old Master Song, leave this matter to me. Hao Li and I are old acquaintances, and we’re both women; I’m the most suitable to handle this."
The moment Hao Li heard this, she immediately grew anxious, "Old Master Song, leaving this matter to a woman like Xiao Jinglan might not be wise, right? Lu Zhaozhao and I have been beaten, and if the situation turns out to be terrible..."
"Sister Hao Li, rest assured, I have dealt with such matters before when I was with the Song family; you have nothing to worry about." Before Hao Li could finish, Xiao Jinglan quickly interrupted her.
"Besides, Old Master Song is getting on in years; are you truly going to make him personally investigate such a troublesome matter? What if it exhausts him?"
"..."
Hao Li’s eyebrows immediately knotted tight.
She had said as much as she could, and if she kept obstructing, it would seem like she was being ungrateful.
Suddenly, Hao Li seemed to remember something, "It’s not that I don’t want you to investigate, but I heard Zhaozhao is also sick. Aren’t you going to take care of her? Actually, we can handle this matter ourselves..."
Xiao Jinglan’s complexion instantly turned greenish, her vigilant eyes fixed on Hao Li.
It seemed this woman was blatantly competing for a place in the Song family. Now that she was beaten up like this, it was probably a ploy to gain sympathy, right?
Otherwise, why would she, having been beaten herself, still think of pushing her out and investigating on her own?
Xiao Jinglan narrowed her eyes, and with a forced smile said, "Don’t worry, Sinian is looking after Zhaozhao; there’s no need for me. If I really went there, he might not be too pleased..."
"But..."
"Enough of ’but.’ It’s settled then. If there’s anything you can’t handle, just mention it to the old housekeeper," said Mr. Song, glancing at Xiao Jinglan, "you should know how to contact the butler. I’m leaving the matter to you, don’t disappoint me."
"Rest assured, Old Master Song!"
