Mo Yuxin looked at her husband who was lying on the bed, then thought of Chang Jingqiu who was still unconscious after the surgery. "Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?"
"Why are you guys here?" An old and unhappy voice suddenly came from the door. Due to shock and anger, the voice became especially shrill towards the end.
They looked over and saw Liu Xiangwen supporting Old Madam Chang at the door with Chang Zhixing behind them.
"What are you doing here!" The moment Old Madam Chang saw Ruan Danchen, it was as if someone had pressed a switch hidden in her body and she immediately went crazy.
Ruan Danchen frowned. The person in front of her was her grandmother, but looking at Old Madam Chang's ferocious expression, she really couldn't bring herself to call her that.
She opened her mouth and didn't know how to explain. Moreover, Old Madam Chang wouldn't believe her and didn't know what to say.
Mo Yuxin was about to reveal Ruan Danchen's identity, but just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a shrill and old voice. "I know you're here to laugh at us, aren't you? My eldest son is unconscious in bed and Jingqiu is also seriously injured, but you specially came to laugh at us! Hmph! You're so young and yet you're so vicious. Aren't you afraid of retribution? "
Ruan Danchen only wanted to say that she didn't do anything wrong and wasn't afraid of retribution. However, it was obvious that Chang Jingqiu's retribution had come first.
"Mom, Danchen isn't here to watch the show!" Mo Yuxin couldn't bear to hear Old Madam Chang say this. "She is —"
"Enough, you traitor!" Old Madam Chang directly cut Mo Yuxin off. Her eyes were red with anger as she glared at Mo Yuxin, as if she was her enemy. "My son is lying unconscious in bed and Jingqiu is also opposite. She's so seriously injured. I don't know if she will be able to take it when she wakes up, but you're still here to speak for her? You actually let these people who are here to watch the show, to gloat over our misfortune, and to have bad intentions. How can you face Zhiyuan? "
"I'm talking here, and you interrupted me before I finished speaking. Don't you have any respect for me?" Old Madam Chang glared at Mo Yuxin. "Is it because Zhiyuan is lying in bed and doesn't look good? You think that no one will care about you, so you come to bully an old lady like me? Now that Zhiyuan is unconscious, you can do whatever you want to me! "
Granny Chang was agitated. She clutched her chest as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Zhiyuan treats you so well and protects you. He doesn't like it even if I say something bad about you. Didn't they praise you in front of me all the time because they wanted to put in a good word for you? But now that he's unconscious, you treat me like this! "Old Madam Chang said with a belly full of grievances.
Ruan Danchen suspected that Old Madam Chang would immediately sit on the ground and cry her heart out.
Old Madam Chang didn't sit on the ground. Instead, she grabbed her youngest son's hand and cried. It was as if Mo Yuxin was an unfilial child, as if Chang Zhiyuan had already passed away, and she had been abused by Mo Yuxin.
Liu Xiangwen was still comforting her on the side. Liu Xiangwen's comforting words were simply adding fuel to the fire. It didn't have any effect at all.
No, it had the effect of making Old Madam Chang angrier.
Mo Yuxin tightly pursed her lips and decided not to speak. He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his whole body was trembling.
She was thinking that Ruan Danchen was Old Madam Chang's biological granddaughter, and Chang Jingqiu was an imposter. But now, Old Madam Chang was pointing at her long-lost granddaughter and scolding her for an outsider. When she found out the truth, who knew how much she would regret it.
For Old Madam Chang's sake, she wanted to quickly interrupt Old Madam Chang to prevent Old Madam Chang from saying more things that she would regret later.
But who knew that Old Madam Chang would not let her go and listen to her talk about all sorts of nonsense!
"Mom, Zhiyuan is only unconscious. He will wake up. Don't say it like he is … like … something!" Mo Yuxin said with red eyes. What kind of mother would curse her own son like that?
Even if Chang Zhiyuan could recover, he would probably not recover from Old Madam Chang's crying!
"Zhiyuan is still unconscious. What are you doing by making such a ruckus?" Mo Yuxin tried her best to hold it in and said, "Danchen is here to see Zhiyuan. She doesn't have any ill intentions. How could she have ill intentions towards Zhiyuan? If Zhiyuan is awake, the person he wants to see the most is her. She is — "
"Ah —!" Suddenly, a scream came from the opposite ward. It broke through the door of the opposite ward and pierced over. It was especially loud and ear-piercing.
The crowd was not prepared at all, so they were startled by the sudden sound.
Ruan Danchen even jumped. Qi Chenglin hurriedly protected her. She couldn't take fright right now.
"How is she?" Qi Chenglin stared at Ruan Danchen. Seeing that she was expressionless, he was still worried.
Ruan Danchen shook her head. "She's fine. She's just a little scared."
"Mom, Jingqiu has woken up. I'm afraid she realized —" Liu Xiangwen looked like she couldn't bear it and stopped. "Let's go take a look. Don't let her do anything stupid."
When Old Madam Chang heard this, she couldn't care less about getting even with Mo Yuxin. She quickly turned around and went to the opposite ward.
Mo Yuxin looked at Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. Ruan Danchen said, "Let's go take a look too."
Mo Yuxin nodded and quickly led the way. The door of this ward was also open so that they could keep an eye on the situation from the opposite side.
Old Liang followed behind. Everyone entered the ward and saw that Chang Jingqiu had woken up. Her eyes were wide open and her face was pale.
"What's going on? Why can't I feel anything? Why can't I feel my legs! " Chang Jingqiu tried to get up. However, she had just finished the surgery and the wound had just been stitched up. How could she get up?
The anesthesia had worn off, but the doctor had given her an analgesic stick. Hence, she didn't feel any pain now. She only felt a little discomfort from the wound left behind by the surgery on her back.
Chang Jingqiu didn't know what had happened. Although she felt a little discomfort at the back of her waist, she didn't know that there was a wound that had just been stitched up. She stood up suddenly. The wound was struggling and was about to split open. There was already some blood seeping out.
Chang Jingqiu felt pain too. However, she couldn't care less about the pain at the back of her waist. She was stimulated by the feeling of her lower body. Other than her legs, she couldn't care about anything else.
However, she didn't have any strength in her waist. Fortunately, she didn't. Just as she wanted to straighten her waist, she moved and fell back.
She tried to raise her shoulders so that her hands could touch her thighs.
However, she couldn't feel her thighs at all. She couldn't feel the existence of her hands at all. Actually, there was no need to touch like this. Whether a person's legs had feeling or not, she didn't need to touch them to know.
She lay on the bed, but her legs couldn't feel the bed. Her legs were clearly covered with a blanket, but she couldn't feel it either. Not to mention that she didn't have any strength in her waist, it wasn't very difficult for her to move her toes.
However, she couldn't even do such a small movement. Her legs and feet didn't seem to belong to her. She couldn't feel any object touching her.
The feeling that she felt in the past couldn't be more natural now.
She raised her shoulders and placed her hands on her thighs. She clenched her teeth and squeezed hard. She felt that she could twist the flesh off, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"How can this be! How can this be! " Chang Jingqiu desperately beat her legs. She had just finished the surgery and didn't have any strength. However, she used all the strength she could to beat and twist, but she didn't feel anything at all.
"Jingqiu!" Old Madam Chang was supported by Liu Xiangwen. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chang Jingqiu hurting herself. She was so shocked that she quickly stopped her.
"Jingqiu, what are you doing!" Old Madam Chang walked to the bedside and saw Chang Jingqiu lying on the bed powerlessly. She looked very pitiful.
"You just finished the surgery. You need to rest well. Otherwise, the wound will split and it will be bad. Stop hitting yourself!" Old Madam Chang pressed her hand.
Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen stood at the door and didn't attract attention.
Now Chang Jingqiu's mind wasn't on it, so she didn't notice them. She just looked at old Madam Chang with a pale face.
"Grandma, what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Why can't I use strength on my waist? Why can't I feel anything in my legs? "Chang Jingqiu's hands tightly grabbed old Madam Chang's withered wrists.
Because she didn't have any strength now, she didn't hurt old Madam Chang. Instead, old Madam Chang felt pity. Thinking of her future life, her old eyes turned red.
"Jingqiu, it's okay. There's no obstacle that can't be overcome." Old Madam Chang touched Chang Jingqiu's hair with a loving look. This kind of loving look was really something that Ruan Danchen had never seen on old Madam Chang's face.
"What do you mean? What do you mean? What's wrong with my legs? "Chang Jingqiu's eyes were filled with fear, and her expression was distorted." Is it because of the surgery? Is it because of the surgery? Tell me, tell me, as long as I rest, my legs will be fine. Is it because the anesthesia hasn't subsided, so I can't feel anything? "
These words were obviously deceiving himself and others.
If it was really the effect of the anesthesia, she could feel the wound on her waist.
But she would rather lie to herself and immerse herself in lies. Right now, she really hoped that someone could tell her that it was indeed because the anesthesia hadn't subsided after the surgery, so she couldn't feel it.
Chang Jingqiu looked at old Madam Chang hopefully, but old Madam Chang avoided her hopeful gaze.
When Liu Xiangwen saw this, she gave Mo Yuxin a look, but Mo Yuxin pretended not to see it. She couldn't be bothered to comfort Chang Jingqiu. Anyway, no matter what she said, it would be wrong. Even if she treated Chang Jingqiu well, Chang Jingqiu would forget about it in the blink of an eye. She was simply an ingrate and didn't deserve to be treated so well.
Liu Xiangwen was helpless. She couldn't let old Madam Chang be the bad guy.
At this moment, Liu Xiangwen received the hint from old Madam Chang's eyes. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Jingqiu, the doctor said that the injury on your waist is very serious. The nerves inside are already damaged, so … your legs …"
"No! That's impossible! I was fine just now! How could that be … "Chang Jingqiu screamed crazily.
"They said it's because your waist suffered a violent impact …" Liu Xiangwen couldn't bear to look at it, but she didn't feel too much about it.
She was close to Chang Jingqiu and tried her best to curry favor with her, but it was just to please old Madam Chang. Chang Jingqiu would usually show a bit of arrogance to her from time to time, so it would be strange if Liu Xiangwen truly liked her.
After all, she was Chang Jingqiu's aunt, and her elder.
Chang Jingqiu was stunned. She received such a huge blow right after she woke up, so she didn't have time to think. Her mind was in a mess, and the other memories hadn't come flooding in yet.
Now that she heard Liu Xiangwen's words, Chang Jingqiu's memories slowly came flooding in, and fragments of them popped up in her mind like glass shards.
She thought of the village where Huang Pinggui was. She had used the trick of injuring herself to win Chang Zhiyuan's hand and deliberately rolled down the hill when he waved.
It was a good plan, but who would have thought that she would hit the tree with such force?
Chang Jingqiu recalled the excruciating pain in her lower back when she was pressed against the tree, and she shuddered. He must have hurt his waist at that time.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have chosen to fall down on purpose!
After a while, she heard old Madam Chang say, "Jingqiu, you're still young. Let's live well in the future. Moreover, medical technology is improving year by year. Look at the technology and medical equipment now. They didn't even exist a few years ago! Who knows, you might find a way to treat it and be able to walk well again in the future. The most important thing now is to take care of your body. That way, you can recover better in the future. "
Unfortunately, old Madam Chang's words were in vain. Chang Jingqiu was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't hear anything at all. All she could think of was the scene of her crashing into the tree.
"It was Uncle … Uncle wanted to push me away, so he …" Chang Jingqiu seemed to be in a daze as she mumbled. She suddenly grabbed old Madam Chang's hand tightly and said mournfully, "Grandma, what should I do? What should I do in the future? I'm paralyzed! I'm not crippled. I can still walk even if I'm crippled! "
Old Madam Chang sighed. She couldn't bear to look at her, but she heard Chang Jingqiu say, "Am I going to live like this in the future? Grandma, I'm only 27. I don't want to be in a wheelchair! Who will look up to me in the future? Uncle … Uncle is so cruel … What … What am I going to do in the future! Grandma, I don't want to be in a wheelchair! I don't want to be in a wheelchair! I don't want to be a cripple in bed! I want to stand up! I want my legs to be well! Sob sob sob sob! I really want to turn back time. I didn't roll down the hill. Sob sob sob sob! What should I do! What should I do! My legs! My legs! Let me stand up! Let me stand up! "
Old Madam Chang looked pained as well. When she heard Chang Jingqiu mention the reason why she rolled down the hill, she was a little displeased with Chang Zhiyuan. However, she forgot that Chang Jingqiu was awake now, but Chang Zhiyuan was still unconscious in the ward opposite. She didn't know how he was doing.
Old Madam Chang didn't think of it, but Mo Yuxin did.
She had enough of Chang Jingqiu's selfishness. She said coldly, "Since you mentioned Zhiyuan, did you ask about your uncle's condition after you woke up? In order to save you, he rolled down the slope with you. "
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiangwen grabbed her arm. "Sister-in-law, don't be calculative with Jingqiu at a time like this. After all, what happened to her is a huge blow. It's understandable that she can't think of anyone else. "
Old Madam Chang was very displeased as well. However, Mo Yuxin sneered at Liu Xiangwen sarcastically. "You're helping her now. But if she wasn't the granddaughter of the Chang Family, would you still be helping her?"
Liu Xiangwen did not understand and only found Mo Yuxin's words strange. "Sister-in-law, I know that you're in a bad mood because of Eldest Brother's accident. Why don't you go rest and accompany Eldest Brother?"
Chang Jingqiu looked at Mo Yuxin in a panic. It was only then that she noticed that Old Liang was standing beside her.
Old Liang was present the entire time that day.
Mo Yuxin looked at her mockingly and said without budging, "Jingqiu, why don't you tell us why your uncle pushed you away? Why don't you tell us why you guys appeared in a village in J City? That place is so far away. Ever since we came to B City, you've never returned. Why did you suddenly return after so many years? And to a village that you've never been to before? Why don't you tell us why your uncle has always doted on you. As long as it's something that you like or want, he would try his best to get it for you. Why did he seem to be fed up with you this time around? Why did he even quarrel with you and roll down the hill together? "
Qi Chenglin lowered his head to look at Ruan Danchen. When he heard that last sentence, he did not know how Ruan Danchen felt.
All of Chang Zhiyuan's doting should have been Ruan Danchen's.
Sensing his gaze, Ruan Danchen raised her head and squeezed his palm. She smiled at him gently, not minding it at all.
Qi Chenglin's gaze softened and he was no longer worried.
In the room, Chang Jingqiu's gaze was getting more and more flustered. She could no longer care about her leg. She only felt that her good days were coming to an end. Her future was bleak and she did not know what to do.
"Jingqiu, aren't you going to tell us? I think it's better for you to tell us the truth yourself. That's good for you. " Mo Yuxin gave her a chance. For something like this, it was different for her to admit it on her own rather than someone else.
Chang Jingqiu's face was pale. Her gaze was flustered and her eyeballs were darting around.
She looked at Mo Yuxin, then at Liu Xiangwen's confused face. She did not know what was going on. She then looked at Old Madam Chang. Finally, her gaze landed on Chang Zhixing, who was standing near the door. She froze.
Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen were standing at the door!
Chang Jingqiu's ears were filled with Mo Yuxin's mocking words as she trembled. Everyone only saw the whites of her eyes roll back, and she actually fainted.
Old Madam Chang cried out, "Jingqiu!" Chang Zhixing hurriedly pressed the bedside bell. After the doctor came to check and left, Old Madam Chang turned to glare at Mo Yuxin fiercely.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that she's seriously injured? What are you trying to do by provoking her like this? If it were you, you would be paralyzed for the next sixty to seventy years. Would you feel better? Would you be able to accept it? " Old Madam Chang stood up and pointed at Mo Yuxin's nose. "I know you don't like Jingqiu. She doesn't need you to like her either. If you have no sympathy and don't know how to take care of her, then get lost!"
"And you guys!" Old Madam Chang turned to Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen. "You guys get lost too! Don't even think about laughing at our family! "
"Mom, are you sure you want to chase them away? You're going to chase away your own granddaughter for a fake granddaughter? "Mo Yuxin said coldly.
Old Madam Chang had been smart when she was young, but she wasn't like the Old Madam of the Qi family, who could see the big picture clearly. Old Madam Chang's shrewdness really made people feel helpless. As the saying goes, women have long hair but short brains. Yet, she still thought that she was special and very smart.
But at the end of the day, there was still Old Master Chang. Ever since Old Master Chang passed away, Old Madam Chang became more and more unreasonable. In order to be filial, her son didn't dare to say anything harsh to her unless he was forced into a corner. As a result, Old Madam Chang became more and more unreasonable as she got older.
Old Madam Chang was stunned, as if she didn't understand Mo Yuxin's words.
Her mouth opened for a long time before she said in confusion, "What … what are you saying? What do you mean? "
