CHAPTER 446: CHAPTER 45 BEGGING ON KNEES_2

Lin Xiaoguai’s words were completely meant to scare people; she’d never heard of any unidentified bodies before. She didn’t really expect Sister Hao Hao to change Wang Meilan’s mind; she said this because she guessed Wang Meilan was probably listening in on the side.

She just hoped that Meilan would know when to back down.

"Speaking of which, I remembered something. We originally only invited a few young friends to the wedding, but now with Wang Meilan in the Capital..." Lin Xiaoguai looked troubled.

While she was looking forward to a wedding, she didn’t want it to be too grand; it would be enough if close relatives and friends could attend. She was worried that if people from the same circle, who had to be invited out of courtesy, came, her long-awaited wedding would turn into a social event.

As for Aunt and the others, because they were older and couldn’t endure the train journey, Lin Xiaoguai had specifically called them not to come and promised to visit them at the end of the year.

But Wang Meilan... to tell the truth, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t want her at her wedding at all.

"We won’t invite her," Shen Chi said without any hesitation.

"What if she shows up uninvited?"

"Don’t worry, the church won’t let anyone in without an invitation. Plus, our wedding is still more than three months away. By then, Wang Meilan might have slunk back home," Shen Chi comforted her.

Lin Xiaoguai shook her head; she didn’t have high hopes. She had seen Wang Meilan’s relentless pursuit of men in her past life.

It was strange to think about it; whether it was Sister Hao Hao or her husband, both had honest and straightforward characters. Their first three children, Wang Liguo, Wang Liye, and Wang Yulan, were also down-to-earth. How did it happen that Meilan had a genetic mutation?

Thinking this, Lin Xiaoguai suddenly froze. How had she forgotten about Wang Yulan!

In a previous life, after Shen Chi had taught Meilan a lesson, he called her family to pick her up, and it was Wang Yulan who came.

Wang Yulan, aware of Meilan’s actions, didn’t say a word before picking up her luggage and smashing it on Meilan, hitting her until she was crying for her parents. Although initially refusing to go back, she eventually followed Yulan out, subdued like a quail.

Now that Meilan’s actions were out, the already married Yulan surely didn’t know.

Thinking of this person who could control Meilan, Lin Xiaoguai’s mood lightened considerably.

That afternoon, Lin Xiaoguai made a pot of medicinal chicken soup and took it to the hospital to see Ping’an. As she pushed open the ward door, she saw three children playing cards. Beside them was Ma Dongqin, originally a farm employee now doubling as a nurse, peeling an apple with her head down.

"Auntie, you’re here," Xu Ji, facing the door, was the first to see her.

"How are you feeling?" Lin Xiaoguai placed what she carried on the bedside cabinet, took a bowl from the cabinet, and poured in the chicken soup she brought. She handed it to him, saying, "Drink it all up quickly."

Xu Ji had gotten used to his aunt’s daily medicinal nourishment. Knowing it was good for his health, even though the chicken soup had an unusual taste, he obediently drank it down.

Lin Xiaoguai didn’t stay long. After talking with Ping’an for a while, she planned to leave. She opened the ward door to leave but saw a young woman peeking nervously around.

The woman, startled by the opening door, stepped back repeatedly.

Lin Xiaoguai frowned, "May I ask who you are?"

"I, I..."

While the woman was stammering, Shen Yinian walked over and asked, "Mom?"

Yinian opened the door wider to see who was outside.

But the woman suddenly became agitated, pushing past Lin Xiaoguai and Yinian and rushing in. She knelt beside the hospital bed, pleading with Xu Ji, "Please let my husband go!"

She used such force that Lin Xiaoguai was caught off guard and knocked into the doorframe, her back hitting the lock. In pain and seeing stars, she heard the woman’s shout and her expression immediately soured.

Before she could react, Han Xinyu next to her cursed, "Where did this lunatic come from? Get out of here now!"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull the woman away, and Ma Dongqin also reacted and went up to help.

Han Xinyu had guessed the woman’s identity, and that’s why she was especially furious.

Her cousin was still not out of danger, and the culprit’s family member actually dared to come and ask for their forgiveness?

What a joke!

"Let me go, listen to me, my Da Xing didn’t hit someone on purpose. He was been drinking; his mind wasn’t clear... Please be merciful and let him off this once. If he goes to prison, what will happen to me and my son?" The woman struggled and cried.

Lin Xiaoguai almost laughed out of anger. Last life, she’d heard plenty about how drunk driving offenses were upgraded, yet she didn’t know that drunk driving could now serve as a "necessary" excuse for hitting someone?

"Your husband has hit someone while drunk before; not the first time. Do you think just because he was drunk, others should just die for nothing? Don’t think you’re something special because you have money," Shen Yinian had also been pushed to the ground. After getting up, he first helped Lin Xiaoguai, then angrily said, "Don’t act so innocent; someone might think we forced your husband to drink at knifepoint."

The woman’s crying halted, but her hand still clung to the bed’s railing, looking at Xu Ji with pleading eyes, "Little brother, I know my Da Xing deserves to die, but my son is only five years old. If he loses his father, what can a useless woman like me do to raise him? For the sake of the child, please forgive him this once. I’ll keep an eye on him from now on; I won’t let him drink again."

"Please, I’ll kneel for you, I’ll kneel for you..." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile readers please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
