Xiao Shumei sighed after listening, "I originally wanted to come early, but Mengjin sprained her hand. We had to go to the hospital, which delayed us until now." Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Big sister, if it’s just a sprain, couldn’t we have just called a doctor over—" Xiao Shuju started to say.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Shuzhu immediately glared at the third sibling. "Today is the old man’s birthday celebration. How can we invite a doctor to see her?"
It’s a taboo to bring bad luck on such an occasion. Xiao Shumei understood this well. That’s why, accompanied by her daughter, she didn’t arrive at the Xiao Family’s home until after midnight. She definitely didn’t want to reduce the old man’s longevity because of it.
Xiao Shulan approached Zhao Mengjin with an expression of concern, "Come, let your second aunt take a look. Which hand is it? Is it serious? Which doctor did you see?"
Zhao Mengjin’s left wrist was wrapped in gauze. She said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. It’s okay. My mom said not to alarm the family, so we registered for a regular appointment and saw the emergency doctor at Mingxin. We waited more than an hour to see the doctor and get the medication."
The Xiao sisters laughed upon hearing this: "Of course, our Mingxin is doing well, with lots of customers."
Seeing that the injury wasn’t serious, Xiao Shulan’s eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment, and then she scanned Zhao Mengjin’s face. In truth, this young girl who had gone to university in Hong Kong was becoming more and more beautiful.
Her eyebrows were long and expressive, more than twice as attractive as her own daughter Kang Yueting.
Xiao Shumei hadn’t neglected her daughter’s upbringing because she had a son; she invested just as much in her daughter as in her son. In other words, her daughter has to be raised in wealth.
Zhao Mengjin had been studying cello since she was young, attended a music academy, and had performed in many concerts. In the music circle, she was a talented and beautiful young girl.
Ou Chunhua had a good impression of Zhao Mengjin, not just from seeing her face for the first time, but also because of the reputation Mengjin had built up. Otherwise, with Ou Chunhua’s arrogant nature, she certainly would have ignored such a junior, no matter how attentive they were.
The more she thought about it, the more worried Xiao Shulan became about her own daughter.
When comparing them, the difference was not minor.
Since the old lady had said she would meet with them in the morning, Xiao Shumei quickly urged her sons and daughters upstairs to the rooms prepared for them to sleep.
Zhao Zirong was also half dead from exhaustion. After greeting his aunts, he headed upstairs as well.
Xiao Shumei was unable to leave because she had been grabbed by the third one.
The third one whispered anxiously into her ear, as if eager to stir up trouble, "Big sister, you don’t know what’s happened at home today because you weren’t here. There’s so much that’s happened."
"Oh?" Xiao Shumei responded as though she really didn’t know anything.
The third one said, "First, Yebai said he brought home a wife to introduce to Grandma and Dad. They both didn’t agree, and then, Dad said he wants to change the inheritance distribution."
Xiao Shumei replied indifferently, "However it changes, it’ll be more or less the same."
Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuzhu each had their own expressions.
Xiao Shuju exclaimed, "That’s right!"
The other three sisters could only look at her, wondering if she’d gone mad following Yebai.
"I’ll tell you, big sister, I had an epiphany after listening to Mrs. Ou’s words today. Dad and Grandma don’t want Yebai, but they want his son. What do you think they will do?"
The sisters fell silent together.
Then, Xiao Shumei said, "I didn’t expect Mrs. Ou to be so concerned about our family’s affairs."
"How could she not care? Doesn’t she like Mengjin a lot?"
Seeing that the third one had slipped up, both Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shumei looked towards her.
