Hello, Heir

Chapter 899: How Great It Would Be If Pretty Auntie Were My Mother (4)

Si Jingyu, too, raised her head in bewilderment and stared at Bai Yue. Never had she expected Bai Yue to malign her! She could put up with Bai Yue for not thanking her for saving Xin Xin, but what was this accusation about?

She then cast a glance at Mrs. Shi. The look on Mrs. Shi’s eyes clearly displayed a sense of suspicion.

Si Jingyu clenched her fists in an instant, and an unbearable pain suddenly shot through her heart.

Pressing her lips together with her explanation on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly looked toward Xin Xin. Curling her lips, she sarcastically asked, “Xin Xin, how about you tell us what just happened?”

Xin Xin was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, he felt his mother give him a forceful pinch on the arm.

It was then he understood that his mother didn’t want him to explain.

But could he really not talk about how Pretty Auntie had just saved him?

He paused for a moment before lowering his head, staying silent.

Bai Yue, on the other hand, continued speaking. “Xin Xin, don’t be afraid. Everything is okay.”

With that, she raised her head to look at Si Jingyu once more. “Why are you questioning a child? Si Jingyu, you’re getting more and more unreasonable!”

More and more unreasonable?

Si Jingyu felt as if the whole world was turning into a comedy.

She laughed.

Upon hearing what Bai Yue had to say, Mrs. Shi shot Si Jingyu a disapproving glance, which made Si Jingyu feel as if she had just made a fool of herself!

She had made concessions time and again, but what had she gotten in return?

She had been all ready to wish them well, but why was Bai Yue so insistent on testing her bottom line?!

She vehemently turned around to face the nurse who was standing behind her. “If he’s not going to talk, then you talk!”

The nurse was shocked stiff at what was going on. Everyone was dressed impeccably, and it was obvious that they weren’t commoners. Come to think of it, one had to be of a certain level of wealth to even set foot in the hospital.

But what was she to say?

The nurse raised her head, only to meet Si Jingyu’s sharp gaze. Instantly feeling secure, she began recounting what had happened earlier and ended by saying, “I’m so sorry. This was all my fault because I pushed my trolley without paying attention to what was ahead. In any case, this is a hospital, so please do take care of your child! Don’t let him run around.”

The moment the nurse said this, Bai Yue’s face drained itself of color. She had thought that, given Si Jingyu’s haughty nature, she would have simply chosen to leave. Little did she expect that Si Jingyu would stick around to explain herself!

On the other hand, Mrs. Shi had not expected such an explanation from the nurse. Even though she was old, she was not muddle-headed, and she immediately sensed the truth behind the matter. Raising her brows, she glared at Bai Yue before looking at Si Jingyu and holding her by the hands. “Jingyu, I can’t thank you enough! If anything untoward had happened to Xin Xin, we wouldn’t be able to live anymore!”

Si Jingyu lowered her head to look at Mrs. Shi’s hands, which were full of callouses, and an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart. How long had it been since she had gone on walks or cooked with Mrs. Shi?

Now...

After slowly pulling her hands away from Mrs. Shi, Si Jingyu nodded toward her and Mr. Shi. “I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, she turned around and walked out.

As Xin Xin watched Si Jingyu walk away, a sudden sense of shame grew in him. Biting his lips and looking at his own mother once more, he turned his gaze back toward Si Jingyu’s figure.

A thought suddenly floated into his mind: How great it would be if this pretty auntie were my mother!
