But what displeased him the most was that when his daughter was injured and hospitalized, she still managed to find the time to show her filial piety and curry favor in front of the old man.
If the old man hadnât always kept Baoâer in mind and remained lukewarm towards her, he would have driven her away himself.
"Lanlan, Huwen has grown up to be quite outrageous. Donât hang around with her, stay away from her."
"Okay! Donât worry, Dad." Hai Lan secretly chuckled to herself.
Heh! You moved back in, trying to take what belongs to her, and now youâre suffering the consequences. Whatâs the use of behaving well? Your reputation is ruined, and now you get to experience being isolated in the compound.
The auntâs room isnât a nice place to stay.
Hai Lan could already imagine the gossip circulating outside.
"Someoneâs here to visit." The nurseâs voice sounded from outside, standing in the hallway without closing the door.
Hai Lan looked up and saw Su Yun standing behind the nurse.
"Aunt Su Yun!" Hai Lan was moved to tears, struggling to sit up from the bed. Su Yun quickly put down the things she was holding and went over to support her, thoughtfully placing a pillow behind her back.
"Why have you lost so much weight? You look so unwell." Su Yun said, distressed, "How is your mother taking care of you?"
"Itâs my fault, not my momâs."
"Youâre just so heart-wrenching."
When Hai Shuangjie saw Su Yun visit, he couldnât help but twitch his mouth. Sometimes he couldnât understand womenâs relationships. Your own daughter just stabbed my daughter, and now youâre here to see my daughter?
What he couldnât accept even more was that Lanlan looked happier and more touched than when he, her father, had come.
It was truly incomprehensible and unbearable to watch.
"I have something to do, so Iâll be leaving first."
"Okay! Take care, Dad."
"Safe travels, no need to see me out."
Su Yunâs words almost tripped Hai Shuangjie up. This woman truly had something wrong with her mind.
"I brought you some black fish soup. I added tofu and simmered it for more than two hours! It can help with wound recovery." Su Yunâs visit this time was not just a casual one.
Now that sheâs retired, staying at home all day, she doesnât have the face to go out and see her old friends. Meng Xingzhi is too busy and seldom comes home, and their relationship is lukewarm.
She was bored, so she started exploring various dishes. Upon hearing that Hai Lan had been stabbed by Sheng Ning, she immediately bought some black fish and personally made the soup to bring over.
"Let me tell you, this black fish soup is a good thing. Youâre at the stage where your wound is healing. If you donât drink more fish soup, once itâs healed, whenever itâs windy or rainy, the inside of the wound will definitely itch. But with more black fish soup, it wonât."
Su Yun personally scooped some out from the thermos, murmuring as she spoke, "Didnât your mom stew some for you?"
Hai Lan shook her head. These days, although Zhou Yuan had taken leave to take care of her, the food was either from restaurants outside or the hospital cafeteria. At most, the aunties from the compound would bring over some homemade meals.
In comparison, Hai Lan felt even more dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan.
Why wasnât she Su Yunâs biological daughter? If she were Su Yunâs daughter, what place would there be for Sheng Ning? Everything in the Su Family would be hers. Even the Meng Ping she liked the most would be hers.
"Aunt, you are really good to me," Hai Lan said emotionally.
"You poor child," Su Yun thought of Sheng Ning, gritting her teeth, "Sheng Ning went way too far. I never expected her to be so vicious. To openly assault someone like that is murder, sheâs a killer."
