BXBX NOVEL Chapter 507 - 507: Is It a Difficult Choice?
Jiang Lingxue was in a panic. Her big eyes kept looking back and forth between Wan Jing and Jiang Lin. It made one’s heart ache.
Unfortunately, this did not move the old lady.
She was already so good at pretending to be pitiful at such a young age. What would happen when she grew up?
She might not only be able to fool his son and daughter-in-law. Her grandchild might even suffer in the future.
Thinking of this, the old lady became even more determined.
This Jiang Lingxue could not stay any longer.
“Dad, Mom, I didn’t. 1 really didn’t…”
“Did you find anything when you went?” The old lady interrupted Jiang Lingxue and turned to Jiang Zhenzhen.
“No,” Jiang Zhenzhen shook her head, “The kitchen floor is very clean. 1 didn’t find any traces.”
“Isn’t it obvious?” The old lady sneered. “She stayed at home all day, so the peanut oil on your shoes must have come from home. If you can find traces of it at home, then someone might have accidentally spilled peanut oil on the ground, causing you to fall. But Zhenzhen didn’t find any traces when she went back…”
The old lady glared at Jiang Lingxue, “It’s the weekend today. The nanny isn’t here. Since both of you came to the hospital, who cleaned up the traces on the ground and why?”
On Saturday and the weekend, the nanny did not need to come over.
Hearing the old lady’s words, Jiang Lingxue’s face suddenly turned pale.
She didn’t know they had already discovered the peanut oil on Wan Jing’s shoes.
How could that be? She couldn’t figure it out. Even if the shoes were stained with peanut oil, did Wan Jing not walk on the ground?
If she walked past them, the peanut oil on her shoes would be covered by the dust on the ground.
Moreover, why did they think of looking at Wan Jing’s soles?
As expected, they had never believed her.
Once something happened, they would first suspect her and then look for clues to convict her.
There was nothing wrong with her thinking for herself.
Of course, she did not know that after the incident, Jiang Lin had called 120 and carried Wan Jing downstairs.
Jiang Lin only put Wan Jing down after 120 arrived. During this period, he never put Wan Jing down.
From the beginning to the end, Wan Jing’s feet did not touch the ground, which gave the old lady a chance to discover the truth.
Wan Jing looked at her adopted daughter in front of her and felt very complicated.
She touched her belly and felt the warmth under her palm.
She suddenly felt a little lost. Had she really not adopted a child so rashly?
But at that time, she was too beautiful and obedient among the children.
“Mom, I don’t know what’s going on. 1 really don’t know. I didn’t do anything…” Seeing Wan Jing’s expression, Jiang Lingxue was a little scared. She wanted to go up to Wan Jing.
However, just as he took a step forward, the old lady grabbed his collar and pulled him back, “Stay away from my grandson.”
Jiang Lingxue did not struggle. She just looked at Wan Jing with a pitiful expression, “Mom…”
Wan Jing looked at Jiang Lingxue and could not help but feel a little heartache, “Mother, let go of her!”
Grandmother frowned, but she still listened to her daughter-in-law and let go of Jiang Lingxue, “Stop talking nonsense. Jiang Lin still has to go to work. 1 don’t feel at ease hiring a nanny. As for this girl, you can either send her back to the orphanage or let me bring her back to the countryside.”
Hearing this, Wan Jing and Jiang Lin looked at each other in surprise.
Wan Jing frowned, feeling a little unwilling.
Jiang Lin naturally knew what his wife meant. He quickly said, “I also agree to Zhenzhen staying behind. But Lingxue… Mother, this might be an accident. It’s unrealistic to send her back to the orphanage, and it’s even more unrealistic to go back to the countryside with you.”
“How is it unrealistic? I’ve asked around before that the adopted children can be sent to the orphanage. She could even do such a thing now. What was the difference between this and killing someone? The child was already more than five months old? It’s already a little life!”
When the old lady heard this, her emotions became agitated.
She clutched her chest and panted loudly as if she was about to faint.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin quickly advised, “Mom, let’s talk about this when we get home. You and Wan Jing can’t be too excited now.”
“No, I have to ensure my grandson’s safety. 1 must settle her matter today. You can choose. Do you want to send her back to the orphanage or go back to the countryside with me?”
Jiang Lin and Wan Jing naturally couldn’t make up their minds to make a choice.
After all, they had raised her for so many years and had feelings for each other.
“Aiyo, you guys are trying to anger me to death. The grandson I’ve been looking forward to for more than twenty years…” The old lady clutched her chest as she slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin stepped forward anxiously, “Mother, what’s wrong?”
“Are you two trying to anger me to death? Was someone else’s child really more important than your own? The child in Wan Jing’s stomach and 1 added together can’t compare to this girl?” The old lady pounded her chest and cried.
Wan Jing saw the old lady’s expression and sat up from the hospital bed anxiously.
However, when she heard the old lady’s words, her body froze.
She slowly lay back on the bed.
It seemed that she had to make a decision today.
Should she choose the one in her stomach or Lingxue?
Was this a difficult choice? Actually, it wasn’t difficult at all.
Wan Jing looked down at her belly and then looked up at Jiang Lingxue.
Jiang Lingxue panicked when she saw the look in her adoptive mother’s eyes.
“Mom, I don’t want to. I don’t want to. 1 want to be with you!” Jiang Lingxue murmured.
Wan Jing sighed and said gently, “Lingxue, be good. Go back to the countryside with Grandma for a while. When your younger sibling is born, Mom will bring you back. I’m now… I really can’t take care of you!”
With that, Wan Jing turned her head away and stopped looking at Jiang Lingxue.
She didn’t want to believe what happened today at first, but the truth was right in front of her.
Where did the peanut oil on the ground come from? Neither she nor Jiang Lin had been to the kitchen. Jiang Lin had gone out to buy breakfast.
She had to protect the child in her stomach now.
When the child was born and was older, she would bring Lingxue back.
When the old lady heard her daughter-in-law had made up her mind, she immediately stood up from the ground.
Her chest didn’t hurt anymore, and she felt more energetic.
Jiang Lin and Zhenzhen were speechless.
The old lady patted the non-existent dust on her body and said to Jiang Zhenzhen, “You can stay. If you need anything, let your brother buy it.”
Then, she looked at Jiang Lin and said firmly, “Zhenzhen is meticulous and she serves others better than me. I’m useless here. I’ll take this girl back now..”
