Chapter 98 Sister-in-law
According to the time on the invitation letter, the parent-teacher meeting will start at two o’clock in the afternoon.
Eugene asked Manager Zhuang to drive to the company building early in the morning and said he would take me to school.
After I got into Manager Zhuang’s car, I saw a lot of snacks and fresh fruits for children on the back seat.
I asked casually, “Butler Zhuang, what are these snacks for?”
Butler Zhuang smiled and said, “These are all prepared for Xiaochuan’s classmates. This is also the master’s order. He wants Xiaochuan to have a good relationship with people in school.”
I have to say, although Eugene looks cold and cruel, he is very delicate and warm in his heart.
However, I haven’t felt it yet.
As the car was moving, it was particularly congested because it was noon.
When the car arrived at the bus stop, Manager Zhuang suddenly stopped. I was stunned for a moment and asked, “Why did you stop suddenly? Is there something you want to do?”
Manager Zhuang pointed to the other side of the bus stop and said, “Look at that person, isn’t he…”
I looked over and said in surprise, “Isn’t that Eugene ‘s grandmother? Why does she want to take the bus? How old is she?”
As I said that, I unbuckled my seat belt and said, “Butler Zhuang, please wait for me. I’ll go pick up grandma.”
Butler Zhuang nodded, “Okay, okay, go slowly, don’t rush.”
After getting off the bus, the traffic light happened to be green, so I jogged along and held my grandmother’s arm before she got on the bus.
He grabbed her wrist and said, “Grandma! How do you take the bus?”
Eugene turned around slowly, holding a small shopping bag with freshly bought meat in it.
When my grandmother saw that it was me, she smiled and said, “I came out to buy some meat for my great-grandson. He loves the toothpick meat I cook, so I thought about making some for him.”
I said, “You can’t come out by yourself. It’s very dangerous to take the bus. What if you fall down?”
Grandma patted my hands and said, “It’s okay! Young people nowadays are very sensible and even gave me their seats! I don’t like riding in private cars, it wastes gas and I can’t exercise.”
I supported her arm and said, “I don’t care. Anyway, I caught you today, so you have to come with me.”
Grandma smiled with wrinkles all over her face and said, “Okay, let’s get in the car and go. I’m tired too.”
After bringing grandma into the car, the two of us sat in the back seat. The car drove to the school first, after all, parents would be more anxious.
After my grandmother learned that I was going to hold a parent-teacher conference for Teng Xiaochuan, she specifically asked me, “Girl, are you and my grandson really in love?”
I felt a little reluctant to deceive her, but under Eugene ‘s threat, I had no choice but to do it.
I didn’t say anything, just nodded.
Grandma didn’t say anything. She turned her head and looked out the window. She said slowly, “It’s different now than before. In the past, we lived together and it was a done deal if we were attracted to each other. Now, it depends on the family background and the background.
I also feel sorry for my grandson, so… “Grandma held my hand and said, “Girl, if you and my grandson really love each other, then stay together, but don’t hurt him.”
Seeing my grandma’s serious look, I really wanted to die. If I deceived such a kind old lady, I would shorten my life.
While I was feeling guilty, my cell phone rang.
I took out my phone and saw my mother-in-law’s number on the screen…
She has disappeared for many days, why is she bothering me again now?
I didn’t want to answer it, but after one call ended, another came.
Helplessly, I pressed the answer button. As soon as I raised the phone to my ear, my mother-in-law started shouting at me in dialect: ” Candice ! Come to the hospital right away!”
I held back the anger in my chest and asked, “What are you going to do now?”
The mother-in-law said, “Your sister-in-law was in a car accident and is in the hospital! I can’t find anyone right now, please come quickly, you must know someone in the hospital, please come and help me get through.”
I was scratching my head. “Who told you that I know someone in the hospital? Just deal with it yourself. It has nothing to do with me!”
The mother-in-law continued to yell: “Come here quickly! If your sister-in-law dies here, it will be all your responsibility!”
My sister-in-law? How come I didn’t know I had a sister-in-law? When I got married, I didn’t even hear about the existence of a sister-in-law!
All I know is that Vienna had an older brother, but he didn’t live long and died of illness when he was in his twenties.
I rush
The mother-in-law said, “I’m telling you one last time, don’t look for me! Vienna and I are getting divorced soon, and your family’s affairs have nothing to do with me!”
But I never expected that my treacherous mother-in-law would use my mother to threaten me, “You’re not coming? Well, if you don’t come, I’ll go find your mother! Anyway, your mother is a doctor in this hospital. When I see your mother, I’ll say you’re having an affair outside. I’ll say you want to divorce my son for the man outside!”
Faced with my mother-in-law’s shameless harassment, I really wanted to throw my phone out of the window.
However, in order to protect my mother from being affected, I had no choice but to endure it again and again, and even compromise.
After I hung up the phone, my grandmother asked me carefully, “Is it your ex-husband’s family? Are they causing you trouble?”
I nodded, but didn’t show my sadness.
I forced a smile and said, “It’s okay, no trouble, just a small matter.”
Grandma said, “Then go ahead and do your work. Leave Xiaochuan’s parent-teacher meeting to me. I don’t have anything to do anyway.”
I was so grateful for her understanding that I reached out and hugged her plump body and said, “Thank you, grandma…”
Grandma patted my back with a smile and said, “Oh, you are a little girl, but you are really good at acting like a spoiled child!”
After deciding to leave the parent-teacher meeting to my grandmother, I chose to get off the car on the roadside.
The car door opened and I turned to my grandma and said, “Grandma, if you can’t sit still in class,
If you have any questions, please call me. I will be back as soon as I finish my family matters.”
Grandma waved her hand at me and said, “Go ahead! Don’t worry about me!”
After Butler Zhuang’s car left, I took a taxi to the hospital.
When I arrived at the ward that my mother-in-law mentioned, I didn’t see anyone with serious injuries. Instead, I saw a country woman in her early thirties who was dressed in old-fashioned clothes lying on the hospital bed.
The woman’s calf was bandaged with gauze, and it seemed that it was scratched by something.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When the woman saw me, she tried to sit up and said to me in a trembling voice, “You must be Candice … I’m sorry to trouble you. My name is Jiang Qin, and I’m… Vienna ‘s sister-in-law.”
The woman in front of him spoke politely and gently. Although her clothes were a little old-fashioned, her well-defined facial features showed her beauty. She just didn’t take good care of herself.
I didn’t know how to start for a moment, after all, the other person was someone I didn’t know.
But if she said she was Vienna ‘s sister-in-law, it means that Vienna ‘s brother was married before he died.
But I never heard my mother-in-law and Vienna mention it.
While I was keeping silent, my mother-in-law suddenly walked into the door of the ward. She pulled me closer and said, “Hurry up and go to the orthopedic department to find a doctor you know to take an X-ray of your sister-in-law to see if her bones are broken. Also…” She took out a pile of bills from her pocket and said, “Settle the bills for these medicines.”
