Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Two Mothers (1)_1 Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Two Mothers (1)_1 She wanted to get along with her because she was Ruan Jiaojiao’s biological mother. No matter what the situation was like now, there was bound to be a day in the future when things would get better, so she hoped to be on good terms with her.
But now, seeing her sarcastic tone, she sneered, rolled her eyes dramatically, and scoffed, “Sister-in-law, that’s really making a big deal out of nothing. You didn’t even know where you were when I was truly exhausted; this is nothing.”
As soon as she said this, Shu Jiao’s face turned deathly pale.
Outside the ward, just after parking the car, Lu Zhiwei, who ca in a few minutes late, happened to witness the scene. His face changed imdiately, and he glared at Zhao Li before turning to apologize to Shu Jiao, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please don’t take these words to heart. Zhao Li just speaks without thinking; Jianguo, you need to explain to sister-in-law.”
After speaking, he glared fiercely at Zhao Li, actually signaling her, “Look at what you’ve said. Apologize to sister-in-law right now!”
Zhao Li glanced at Shu Jiao’s ashen face and swaying body, biting her lip tightly. She regretted her words as soon as she had uttered them, but being forced by Lu Zhiwei to apologize only made her sowhat resentful.
In the end, she said nothing, turned around, and went back to Ruan Jiaojiao’s side to continue feeding her chicken soup.
Ruan Jiaojiao noticed her sullen face and reached out her little hand to tug at hers. Zhao Li’s expression imdiately brightened.
Shu Jiao, who had witnessed the whole affair, beca even more pale.
Lu Zhiwei felt even more guilty and went up to pull Zhao Li, “Let’s go; our son is waiting at ho for you to make dinner!”
“Your mom is at ho.”
“Her cooking isn’t as delicious as yours. Let’s leave, we can co again tomorrow.” Lu Zhiwei eventually just pulled her up and forcefully pushed her out of the ward, smiling apologetically as they passed by Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo.
Zhao Li was half-dragged out, and when she reached the door, she turned back to look at Ruan Jiaojiao on the hospital bed, “Jiaojiao, godmom will co to see you again tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay, goodbye, godmom.” Ruan Jiaojiao waved her little hand.
Once Zhao Li left, the ward quieted down, with only the occasional sound of Xiu Xi drinking soup. He was drinking the soup that Zhao Li had brought, which only made the atmosphere even more subdued.
Ruan Jiaojiao had already eaten her fill of the chicken soup brought by Zhao Li, but seeing Shu Jiao’s pale face, she felt a bit self-reproachful and unwillingly humd.
“Isn’t it for to drink?” she broke the silence of the ward.
“Yes, yes, Xiaojiao, let Jiaojiao try your cooking.” Ruan Jianguo ca back to his senses and quickly gestured to Shu Jiao.
Shu Jiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, poured a little of the chicken soup from the casserole, and hesitated for a mont looking at the straw that Zhao Li had brought; in the end, she chose to feed Ruan Jiaojiao with a spoon.
The taste of the chicken soup from both mothers was similar, but Ruan Jiaojiao had already eaten quite a bit. Now, after barely managing to drink two more mouthfuls, she just couldn’t take another sip.
“I can’t drink any more; don’t force yourself,” Shu Jiao said, seeing her struggle, her expression dimming as she put the bowl back on the table.
Ruan Jiaojiao had not spent many days with her, and even if she included the mories from before she beca a cat, it was only five years in total. Besides, she was too young during those five years to truly understand her temperant.
Seeing her this way made her feel sowhat uneasy. Even if there was still resentnt, she couldn’t help but feel distressed.
She felt so self-loathing and hesitated for a long ti before finally muttering, “I… I want to have pork rib soup tomorrow…”
