CHAPTER 610: CHAPTER 589 VENTING

Old Mrs. Song left with her people.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa.

Fell into darkness.

If she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t think about it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao picked up the phone.

She knew the old lady’s character very well, a person who means what she says.

Since the old lady said she would publish a statement in the newspaper tomorrow, she would definitely announce her resignation, which would first affect their hospital’s qualifications.

Without Old Mrs. Song’s golden nameplate, although all the procedures were completed, they still didn’t meet the standards to open.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to call Mr. Feng.

But she hesitated.

Mr. Feng was the director of He Ren Hospital; he couldn’t possibly take over as the director of a private hospital.

She couldn’t bring harm to others.

This was impossible; this path was absolutely not feasible.

Find someone else?

So far, there was no better candidate.

Mr. Wang wasn’t involved in medical matters, and wasn’t qualified.

Moreover, if this candidate wasn’t chosen well, they’d be the next Old Mrs. Song.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t want to be caught in such a crisis again.

Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu saw that it was already completely dark outside.

"Why hasn’t Xiao Xiao come back yet?"

Mrs. Wu wanted to comfort her granddaughter.

They had already troubled the Jiang family all day.

The Jiang couple didn’t say anything, but they were particularly puzzled.

No matter how fond Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were of Tang Yuan, they couldn’t stay at their house all day.

But they couldn’t say it, as saying it would seem like they were trying to drive them away.

Without speaking, their exchanged glances communicated a lot.

Mrs. Wu also felt very awkward; who would visit someone for the first time and stay from morning till night?

Eating two out of three meals.

It’s so dark now, and they still didn’t go home; anyone would find it odd.

Fan Xiuying looked at the sky, "The child has been busy with his studies recently. I heard him say he had to go to the hospital after school, probably due to too many things. Are you looking for Xiao Xiao for something?"

She asked cautiously.

Fan Xiuying always felt something was unusual.

Mrs. Wu paused.

"No, no, we’ll go now."

Mrs. Wu awkwardly tugged at her husband’s sleeve.

Mr. Wu sighed, realizing they wouldn’t see Jiang Xiaoxiao today.

"Alright! We’re leaving."

Jiang Laoshi saw them out.

Back at home, Jiang Laoshi and Fan Xiuying muttered.

"I always feel like Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu have something on their minds."

"Alright, don’t talk about what’s on their minds. Take that effort to care about your own daughter. Xiao Xiao has been so busy lately, I’m really worried about her, and I don’t know what happened between the couple and the Song family.

You haven’t noticed things have been a bit off recently? How much the old lady cares about Tang Yuan, they’ve been back for three days. The old lady hasn’t shown up once. It’s not normal. When we were taking care of Tang Yuan at their house, she would come over every day.

Do you remember after Xiao Xiao finished her confinement, when she stayed at mom’s house for a few days, the old lady would come over every other day, almost treating our home like the Song family."

Fan Xiuying, with her keen insight, sensed that something seemed a bit off.

Hearing this, Jiang Laoshi nodded.

"Now that you mention it, I also feel it’s not quite right. How could Xiao Xiao and the others suddenly decide to move back? With the personalities of the old lady and the old man, how could they let them move back?

No matter the distance, Moting drives back here, it’s not an issue. Besides, their internship days are still far ahead. This excuse is pretty lame."

"When the kids come back, I’ll ask them; if we don’t get to the bottom of this, what will we do in the future? The old man and the old lady were so good to them, the two kids shouldn’t just take the child and leave home out of anger."

Fan Xiuying instinctively felt Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others were wrong.

Jiang Laoshi agreed too.

Jiang Xiaoxiao came back late at night.

Song Moting drove his wife back and busied himself with parking.

Jiang Xiaoxiao entered, exhausted.

Fan Xiuying saw her daughter’s weary expression and felt a little distressed, not knowing what was going on with the child lately.

Her complexion hadn’t been good recently, even though the child tried hard to put on a smile.

But as a mother, she knew well enough to see through her daughter.

The child certainly had something on her mind and was forcing a smile.

"Mom, where’s Tang Yuan?"

No matter how tired Jiang Xiaoxiao was, she would sleep with her son every night.

Fan Xiuying pointed to the inner room, "The child is already asleep. Don’t move him back and forth in the middle of the night. What if he catches a chill and is uncomfortable tomorrow? Have you eaten yet? If not, mom will make you some noodles."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, then shook her head.

"Never mind, I’m not really hungry. It’s late; there’s no need to cook."

Fan Xiuying held her daughter’s hand, "Xiao Xiao, I’m your mom. You can tell me if you have worries. Although I might not be able to help you much, I’ve got enough life experience to help analyze some things, and bottling it up will only harm you. Talk to mom; I’m not an outsider."

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly hugged her mother, crying softly in Fan Xiuying’s arms.

Fan Xiuying held her daughter tightly, sitting on the sofa, letting the child lean against her.

The child didn’t cry loudly.

But this silent crying was even more heartbreaking.

What kind of grievances had the child suffered outside?

All her life, this child was strong; she always faced them with a smile, seemingly carefree. But who could know the child was actually meticulous and sensitive?

They never let this child cry, but here she was, crying like this.

Fan Xiuying gently patted her daughter’s back, quietly comforting her.

"What’s wrong? Tell mom."

Jiang Xiaoxiao told everything to Fan Xiuying.

Even Fan Xiuying was shocked, never imagining the old lady would change like this.

No wonder her daughter moved back.

Turned out her daughter and son-in-law were cast out by the old lady’s dislike, not even liking Tang Yuan anymore.

Fan Xiuying couldn’t understand it either; sure, there was favoritism among kids, liking one or not the other, but never to the extent of sending them away.

This was more than mere dislike; it was repulsion and loathing.

Too much.

"Xiao Xiao, it’s okay; Old Mrs. Song doesn’t like you or your husband, that’s her lack of vision. Your parents like you; others like you too. Mr. Feng likes you, Mr. Wang likes you, and today, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu also dropped by. They like Tang Yuan, and they like you too.

We can’t expect everyone to like us, but if some don’t, there’s nothing we can do. Your parents will support you. You’re a strong and brave child; a little setback won’t defeat my daughter.

You went to the countryside before; what’s a little setback now? Right?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled through her tears.

Her mom really knew how to praise.

Yes, she’s not money; she can’t have everyone like her.

Maybe ever since her rebirth, life has been smooth, winning everyone’s affection, making her think it was a given.

But suddenly being rejected, that disparity was hard to accept.

In hindsight, why should everyone like her?

She’s no deity.

If they don’t like her, so be it.

After all, she has her parents and family who support her.

This lifetime, she’s already gained much, including her beloved Tang Yuan.
