BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2063
“I should have known you’d do that.”
Mrs. Lu smiled and tapped Jiang Yao’s head. “Your fainting scared all of us.”
“I don’t know what to do, so I thought I might as well faint. He’s a scoundrel, but I can be a scoundrel too. What else can he do if I’ve passed out? I won’t forgive his family.”
Jiang Yao snorted. “Did he really think I’m a soft-hearted person? He took advantage of Xingzhi’s absence to force my hand. He thought he could do that because I’m a woman. Did he think I would be afraid of offending our neighbors and Xingzhi’s colleague?”Please support our website and read on
“Yaoyao is right. A scoundrel like him needs to be treated like a scoundrel. Look at the way he made his son kneel. He must have predicted that he needed to do that to get Yaoyao to forgive them. His son is six years old, and if Yaoyao doesn’t forgive him, people might say she’s fighting a child.”
Mr. Lu felt that Jiang Yao’s act of pretending to be unconscious was good.
“You’re smart. You immediately reacted and knew how to deal with it.”
A forced pardon and an uncoerced one were two different things. The former would make people feel disgusted.
“Everything is okay if you are fine.”
Mrs. Jiang sighed in relief when she noticed that Jiang Yao was alright. Then, she looked at the time and said, “Your father and I will go to the market. I will cook something for you for lunch.”
“Where will you cook it?”
She had wanted to direct them to her room at the dormitory, but it was quite far away. Furthermore, they did not welcome outsiders.
Mrs. Lu said, “Xingzhi has already arranged it. He has booked a hotel suite near the hospital. There is a kitchen that we can use. You don’t have to worry about these things. Just tell us what you want to eat. What about some beef?”
Jiang Yao shook her head. “I don’t have much of an appetite. Besides, you guys took the overnight train. You don’t have to make a fuss. Please rest in the afternoon.’
“We’ll talk about it later when Xingzhi is back.” Even though Jiang Yao did not have an appetite, Mrs. Jiang thought she should still go to the market and buy more of Jiang Yao’s favorite dishes. What if she wanted to eat in the afternoon? Perhaps she would eat a few more mouthfuls of her favorite dishes when she saw them.
...
Lu Xingzhi knew many people in the hospital. He had heard about how Colonel Ye brought people to the hospital and angered Jiang Yao until she had fainted. Lu Xingzhi received the news when he was still at the army base.
When he received the news, Lu Xingzhi was in the chief’s office. The people that the chief had called over had returned with the information. They learned that Colonel Ye had left the army base with his wife and child.
Zhou Junmin knew about that. He told Lu Xingzhi that Colonel Ye had sent his wife and child back to their hometown to seek refuge. Most likely, he was worried that Lu Xingzhi would do something to his youngest son in a fit of rage, so he had sent them away early in the morning.
“Everyone says that a kind father makes a trash son. I would slap that child if he were my son. Why should I clean up after him?”
That was what Zhou Junmin said at the time.
The chief was muttering about how the younger man still did not have a wife, let alone a child.. Would he behave like Colonel Ye when he finally had a wife and child?
