Four people stood inside the door whispering non-stop, completely ignoring Su Xiaofeng, who was in so much pain at the doorway that she couldn’t even cry out.
Watching the four of them emerge, Su Xiaofeng squinted her eyes.
Had they reached an agreement that quickly?
Given the Wu Family’s attitude, it seemed that the head of the Wu Family might not have many days left to live.
Thinking it over, it seemed quite possible.
Leprosy, in this era, was considered incurable and severe cases indeed often resulted in death.
If that was indeed the case, it would explain why the Wu Family was willing to marry her.
Luo Yuzhu came out to help Su Xiaofeng up, speaking softly, “Xiaofeng, if you’re feeling unwell let your Aunt Zhang help you into the room to rest.
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine in a week at most.
Once you’re at the Wu Family, just behave and your mother will come to see you often.”
Grandma Wu also came over, “This matter of her having been pregnant must be kept a secret by your family.
If it gets out, don’t blame us, the Wu Family, for turning our backs.”
Grandma Lin immediately concurred, “Don’t worry, she has grown up in the countryside and doesn’t know anyone in the city, so no one will find out.”
As Luo Yuzhu was about to take Su Xiaofeng inside, a car stopped at the entrance of the small foreign-style house.
Two people got out; Wu Ershun, the second eldest of the Wu family, and a young boy.
Su Xiaofeng stared at the young boy with slender fingers and a cold face in surprise.
What was he doing here?
“Mom, Grandma.” Wu Ershun came down from the car, “This is Doctor Cheng, a friend of mine.
I told him about my elder brother’s illness, and he was willing to come over and see him.”
Please, come in,” Grandma Wu’s face was all smiles as she called Zhang Jiaojiao, “Go and cut some fruit for them.”
Doctor Cheng glanced at the people at the doorway, his gaze pausing briefly on Su Xiaofeng.
There were no scars on her forehead anymore.
This discovery made him pause.
He was familiar with her injuries, and even if the scars were to fade, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
Yet, it had only been a few days, and her scars were already gone.
Su Xiaofeng was startled, and her hands reached up to touch her forehead.
At noon during the dress fitting, Luo Yuzhu had removed the gauze, claiming there was no wound and had disposed of it.
Now, seeing Doctor Cheng, she remembered that she had been injured.
Fortunately, Doctor Cheng wasn’t the nosy type; after one look, he shifted his gaze and followed Ershun inside the house.
“Granny, is this my future sister-in-law?
She looks quite good,” Wu Ershun also glanced at Su Xiaofeng, aware that his elder brother was soon to be married, and smiled.
“She’s alright,” Grandma Wu clearly did not want to discuss it further.
Doctor Cheng frowned upon hearing Wu Ershun’s comments, Marrying the head of the Wu Family?
In the past few days, he had visited several patients in neighboring villages and had also heard some rumors regarding Su Xiaofeng.
It was said that Su Xiaofeng was pregnant with someone’s illegitimate child, yet she was still quite popular; first, a hoodlum had come forward to propose, followed by a fool’s family wanting to swap brides.
Now what surprised him even more was that suddenly she was about to be wed into the Wu Family.
He thought to himself that this Su Xiaofeng really was not a modest woman, boldly flaunting herself around even with a belly.
Because Ershun had brought Doctor Cheng home, Grandma Wu decided to keep Grandma Lin and Luo Yuzhu and her daughter in the living room.
Su Xiaofeng had come to the Wu Family with Luo Yuzhu this time to assess the Wu family head’s illness and to see if Xiaoqi could do something about it.
If Xiaoqi could help, she wouldn’t mind curing the Wu Family head in exchange for a sum of money.
Now that Doctor Cheng was here, she would definitely have to postpone the idea of treating the head of the Wu Family for now.
Thinking this, Su Xiaofeng suddenly spoke up, “Wasn’t that Doctor Cheng just now?
He was the one who diagnosed my pregnancy.”
Su Xiaofeng’s words made Luo Yuzhu jump again, “Xiaofeng, shut up.”
They had finally made the Wu Family overlook the fact that Xiaofeng had been pregnant, and now Xiaofeng was bringing it up again, almost driving her to fury.
