Chapter 362: Is the child from the Zhan family?
In the hospital
"Sui Sui, eat more. These are all dishes and soups made by Gu Xunjing's mother, Li Wanyin. They were delivered early this morning. It's such a feast. I never expected that a tycoon's wife would have such top-notch cooking skills. My mother's cooking is never... this delicious."
When Yang Huirong talked about the food she cooked, her expression suddenly dimmed. Perhaps she felt ashamed because she felt her cooking was inferior to Li Wanyin's.
"Mom, your cooking is delicious too."
Aunt Li's cooking skills are indeed top-notch; she would cook all sorts of delicious meals for her every few days. Her mother's cooking is a bit more abstract, but since she found out she was pregnant, her mother has been even more proactive in cooking for her, no longer letting the family chef cook for her.
“Sui Sui, Mom knows you’re trying to comfort me, but it’s okay. Now that you’re a daughter-in-law of the Gu family, with Mrs. Gu cooking delicious meals for you, Mom can rest assured. So… Mom doesn’t need to cook for you anymore.”
"Mom, look at what you're saying, it sounds like you've successfully shifted the blame. Do you really think your daughter is that troublesome?"
Jiang Qianhui was joking with Yang Huirong, and Yang Huirong felt a little relieved to see that her daughter could joke with her.
"How could I be annoyed? You are my most precious daughter."
Jiang Qianhui smiled at her mother. In this new life, all she wanted was for her parents to live peacefully and safely.
"Mom, I only see food, but I don't see Aunt Li."
Yang Huirong sighed softly and said, "You were still sleeping when she came. She told me not to wake you. She sat beside you for a long time before leaving. She still felt guilty towards you, thinking that it was all because of her son, Gu Xunjing, that you lost your child."
Looking at the table full of food, Yang Huirong said, "She made so much delicious food for you, but I bet she didn't eat any herself. She looks so thin, it seems she can't get over it. But why bother? That child isn't even hers."
Jiang Qianhui looked at her mother, her heart filled with doubt. How could her mother know that the child was not from the Gu family?
After all, in her mother's mind, her child was Gu Xunjing's, and she conceived Gu Xunjing's child because of a medical accident.
Yang Huirong's eyes flickered, and she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly continued.
"It's not her family's fault that it didn't happen. She doesn't need to blame herself so much. After all, I've seen the surveillance video. No matter who was driving at the time, they couldn't have avoided the accident. It's all the fault of the driver who was driving in the wrong direction."
"Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Qianhui sensed that her mother was acting strangely; she seemed somewhat flustered.
Yang Huirong's heart skipped a beat. She felt that what she had said was flawless, so why did she suspect her?
"It's nothing, there's nothing I'm hiding from you."
"But I feel like you've been avoiding my gaze ever since I woke up. It's like you're hiding something from me."
Just as Yang Huirong was wondering how to explain, Xie Qingyi suddenly arrived with Yan Lan.
"Oh, Jiang Qianhui, you're awake! I heard you were in a car accident and were unconscious, so Yan Lan and I came to see you."
Yang Huirong immediately rushed forward and said angrily, "Xie Qingyi, what are you doing here? We don't need your hypocrisy."
Yan Lan stepped forward and said sarcastically, "Madam Jiang, look at what you're saying. Jiang Qianhui is my mother's former... younger daughter-in-law, my former... sister-in-law. Now that she's been in a car accident and has been in a coma in the hospital for a month, of course we have to come and see her."
Jiang Qianhui put down her chopsticks, her eyes turning cold as she said, "I really didn't expect you guys to still have the time to come here and gloat. The Xie Group has already collapsed, and the mess it left behind will probably take more than a month to clean up. And you still have this free time. It seems that even though the Xie family has fallen, you're not too bothered by it!"
Xie Qingyi gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Qianhui, I knew it was you who caused trouble for the Xie family. You are truly vicious, daring to plot against my Xie family."
Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "Design? I admit it. But to say you framed him is ridiculous. It was clearly your good-for-nothing nephew who committed illegal and criminal acts and was addicted to gambling. How did it become me framing him?"
Xie Qingyi wanted to say something more, but Jiang Qianhui gestured for her to shut up. Then, her eyes darkened, and she said madly, "You should thank me. If I hadn't sent your nephew to prison, who knows how much more gambling debt he would have accumulated. I don't think your Zhan family, even with its vast wealth, could have helped him pay off his gambling debts time and time again. You should thank me!"
Xie Qingyi was so angry she felt itchy, but she was powerless to refute it.
Jiang Qianhui was telling the truth; her nephew's gambling debts were indeed beyond her means to bear.
But how could she possibly admit it?
Xie Qingyi said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Qianhui, you are too arrogant. You will get your retribution for doing bad things. If it doesn't happen to you, it will happen to your child."
I heard your child died two days after birth. It's a shame the child was so unlucky to be born into your womb; even a safe delivery wasn't possible.
Jiang Qianhui's eyes turned murderous. How dare she curse her child like that?
"Xie Qingyi, how dare you speak to my child like that? Are you so sure I won't pull out your tongue?"
Jiang Qianhui's powerful aura made Xie Qingyi tremble involuntarily. Yan Lan said, "Jiang Qianhui, my mother is still an elder. It's too much for you to talk to her like that."
"So, if you can't control your husband, the only thing you can do is work on your mother-in-law in order to keep your status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhan family? I think you're really pathetic."
Yan Lan was furious, her face turning green. Jiang Qianhui's child was dead, and she had heard that Jiang Qianhui was in a very bad mental state, refusing to eat or drink. They were just there to kick her while she was down.
But to our surprise, she was like an unkillable cockroach, and she managed to shut them up!
Xie Qingyi refused to believe it and insisted on rubbing salt into her wounds.
Xie Qingyi said sarcastically, "Isn't the pain of losing a child the most painful thing? You seem to be doing nothing, but you're really heartless. It's good that your child is dead, otherwise he wouldn't have received any warmth from you."
Hearing Xie Qingyi repeatedly say that it would be better if she were dead, Jiang Qianhui was furious.
In her previous life, Xie Qingyi kept urging her to get pregnant. When she did get pregnant, Xie Qingyi was not happy at all. In the end, when she miscarried, Xie Qingyi scolded her, saying that she was useless and couldn't even keep a child.
Now they're actually saying it's good that her child died, how can people be so vicious!
Hearing Xie Qingyi repeatedly say that it would be better if the child died, Yang Huirong couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing at Xie Qingyi.
"Xie Qingyi, how can there be such a vicious grandmother in this world? Your own grandson is dead, and you still dare to say such outrageous things. If the child has a spirit, he will come looking for you, his grandmother, in the middle of the night to take his life!"
Jiang Qianhui looked at her mother. When did her mother find out that the child was not Gu Xunjing's, but Zhan Yanxun's?
"What? You're saying the child belongs to the Zhan family?"
