In the hospital, amidst a flurry of activity, Mr. Lin was pushed back to the ward after being resuscitated. At this moment, he closed his eyes, lying on the hospital bed, tightly holding Lin Lishan’s hand.
Soon, Lin Liyin and her husband, Lin Aiguo and his wife, along with their children, came into the ward one after another.
Lin Liyin immediately stepped forward, pulling over the two sisters Lin Xuezhen, whose eyes were reddened from crying, and whispered to ask what exactly happened.
Lin Xuezhen kept shaking her head.
Mrs. Lin, who was in the nursing home, heard over the phone that Mr. Lin had fainted at the Zhou Family’s place and was now being resuscitated in the hospital. She hurriedly asked to be taken to the hospital.
In the high-level ward, medical staff were stationed in the lounge.
Upon receiving the news, Mrs. Lin did not rush in immediately. She first asked Xiao Zhou a few questions at the door. Seeing that he did not know the details, she waved him away.
As Xiao Zhou left, he rolled his eyes and returned to the side of a few guards. Facing the comforting looks of his brothers, he shook his head.
After Mrs. Lin listened to the doctor explain the condition in the lounge, she swiftly entered the ward and reached out to strike Lin Lishan, who was beside her, but Zhang Guoqing tightly grasped her wrist.
In an instant, everyone gathered around.
Zhang Guoqing stood with a stern face, not loosening his grip.
Mrs. Lin glared at him angrily, "Since when can a person surnamed Zhang interfere over my head? You lowly peasant think you can act mighty just because you have that beast Zhou Xiaozheng..."
"Enough. What more do you want from our Lin Family?" Mr. Lin bellowed to interrupt her insults.
Zhang Guoqing ruthlessly let go of Mrs. Lin’s wrist, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped his right hand. He smiled slightly at the angry Lin Family members and casually tossed the handkerchief, letting it fall neatly onto the floor.
Zhang Guoqing glanced sideways at Mrs. Lin, seeing her so furious she was pounding her chest, he smiled contentedly, and patted Lin Lishan, who was circling around him.
"Mom, you are part of the Zhou Family." With that, Zhang Guoqing followed Mr. Cheng out the door.
The guards at the door saw Zhang Guoqing coming out and smiled at him. Everyone heard what was said just now and felt uncomfortable inside. Some words are hard to say, but comfort is indispensable.
Zhang Guoqing gave them a wry smile, shook his head, and went to where Mr. Cheng was waiting in the corridor.
Mr. Cheng resisted laughing. It was so satisfying! This was the way to fiercely embarrass that old woman.
"Your words earlier, your mother-in-law probably didn’t understand." Mr. Cheng shook his head and said regretfully. If she were smart, she’d have followed her son-in-law out. Why would she stay inside?
Zhang Guoqing smiled but didn’t say anything. His words were meant for the Lin Family.
"From now on, don’t meddle in matters between your mother-in-law and the Lin Family. That old lady is crazy! She acts without thinking and still prides herself on being genteel."
Zhang Guoqing smiled again. For one day, she’s his mother-in-law, no matter who, don’t think of making trouble under his nose. As for the insults earlier, he remembered them in his heart. He hoped the other would live well enough, live a long life, to see if this peasant really acted arrogantly? To see how her genteel ends?
"Uncle, you go back first, I’ll wait for Jiao Jiao to come."
How would Mr. Cheng dare to leave? He was now worried that Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter might clash with the Lin Family. He hurriedly pointed to the next room and had the guards open the door.
When Lin Lishan came out, half an hour had passed.
Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother-in-law in front of him, full of guilt and words unsaid, making him chuckle silently. Seeing some expressions from the Lin Family members coming outside, he knew some things must have been revealed by now.
Faced with Lin Lishan, he didn’t know what to say. Everything tonight happened too suddenly, and he still didn’t know exactly what transpired, having to rely on his own analysis.
Mr. Cheng assessed Lin Lishan, stood up, and said, "Jiao Jiao must have been frightened tonight. It’s unknown how she is now. I’ll go check at the gate to see who has come."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lishan ran out quickly, saying, "I’ll go, I’m faster if I run." As she ran, she slapped her head, secretly regretting forgetting about this.
