"Then why did you break off the engagement?" The engagement must have been broken off in the end. Otherwise, Lu Xingzhi would not have been able to marry her. However, Jiang Yao did not know how they broke off the engagement.
"I still get angry when we speak of this!" Mrs Lu patted the table. She did not raise her voice; she only made a clicking sound. It was her occupational disease as a teacher. Whenever she was emotional, she would pat the table. "One day, we heard some sudden news. Xingzhi had been discharged from the army and had to come home to recuperate after his leg was seriously injured during a mission. Within two days, they brought him back on a stretcher. When I saw him that day, I was so scared that I almost fainted. When his sister saw him, she immediately cried. At that time, many neighbors saw him, and some even surrounded him. A doctor came back with him. When we asked the doctor about his condition, the doctor had a serious expression on his face, but he didn't say a word."
"He was injured so badly?"Jiang Yao frowned. "Why didn't I hear him mention it before? If he had been so severely injured, why didn't I see him cry out in pain? Had he been enduring it all this while?"
"Sister-in-law, look at how worried you are!" Lu Xiaoxiao burst into laughter and teased her. "Auntie, look at how worried she is when she heard that Brother was injured. Her brows are knitted into a straight line. Well, it's easy to tell whether someone is really concerned about me or not."
Mother Lu smiled and nodded. She could tell that Jiang Yao was anxious about Lu Xingzhi.
