Chapter 872 - 913: Invitation to Visit

Qi Lei was dumbfounded, he hadn’t said anything yet! "Auntie, no, please listen to my explanation."

"Leave now." Shen Luhua’s attitude was firm. Initially, she thought highly of Qi Lei, he was much better than the dimwit son of the town’s mayor, and she was very satisfied. But Sheng Laosan’s words woke her up; clearly, An’an’s origins were so extraordinary, why must she pin her down in the dirt?

Now that An’an had gone to the city, there was always a chance she might be recognized one day. How could the Hai Family’s pride allow An’an to marry a rural boy?

Don’t even think about it, even if they really got together, they wouldn’t be happy.

Qi Lei was driven out by Shen Luhua, and he looked at the closed door, dumbfounded for a while. He came with full confidence, not expecting to get such a result.

Unwilling to give up, he stood there for almost ten minutes before leaving in frustration. He went to his sister’s house, where Qi Mei was shocked to see him.

"Why are you here?" Her brother hated her in-laws so much, he would only come if something big happened.

"Where’s An’an? Sis, do you know where she went?"

Qi Mei shook her head bitterly, "I heard she went to the city with her sister and plans to take the college entrance exam."

"I understand!" Qi Lei put down what he was holding and turned to leave; Qi Mei called out after him for a while, but he didn’t look back.

He had to go to the city, he had to find her. If he didn’t go, he might really lose her.

*****

The next day, news of Xu Qigang’s parents arriving spread in a small circle.

Mr. Su sat at home, hearing Xu Qigang’s parents had come, he wasn’t surprised. After all, their son was seriously injured, so of course, they had to come.

"Xiao Hai, you go personally pick them up from the hospital and bring them to our house for a meal."

In the morning, when Su Hai left, the old man specifically instructed him.

Given the current situation, no family could easily ask them over except the Su Family.

Because after all, it was the granddaughter-in-law’s in-laws, coming all the way from the countryside; if they didn’t invite them in for a meal, it wouldn’t make sense.

In the morning, Su Hai first had his secretary inform Sheng Ning in advance, and he himself went to pick up the visitors after he got off work at noon.

Originally, Sheng Ning planned to help Xu Qigang take a bath but got interrupted.

"Are you going to the compound at noon?" Xu Qigang’s deep eyes were fixed on his wife’s busy silhouette, all his clothes washed by her hands, changed daily.

"Wife."

Sheng Ning concentrated on washing clothes and ignored him, her in-laws went next door to see Chen Yingjie, and as soon as they left, she felt the Living Yama’s gaze turn green.

"Wife."

"Wife..."

Sheng Ning couldn’t stand his calling any longer, she walked to the bedside and said, "What’s the matter?"

"My wound hurts." Xu Qigang frowned, showing a trace of discomfort.

Sheng Ning looked at him suspiciously, the wound should be healing well, it shouldn’t still hurt!

"The shrapnel spot, maybe the bullet stayed inside too long and caused inflammation."

The way he said it was so convincing that Sheng Ning really believed him, "Let me see, where?"

"Here!" A slight smile flashed in his eyes, pressing the spot over his heart, "It hurts badly."

"See, I told you not to smoke, but you insisted, and now you only feel pain, right? This is probably where the bullet hit your lung back then..." Sheng Ning murmured, removing the quilt from his body to check if the bandaged wound was bleeding.

Before she could even check, someone pulled the quilt open and embraced her tightly.
