[Must act pitifully.]
[Must evoke Rong Jingyang's reluctance, unwillingness, and heartache.]
[Must...]
Ai Wei, clutching her waist and face, limped into the hospital room like a fragile beauty. She was trying to self-hypnotize, but her gaze froze when she saw Feng Linwan and Rong Jianshen inside.
Why were they here?
Didn't Rong Jingyang summon her to confront her?
Quickly composing herself, suppressing her timidity and panic, Ai Wei forced out a couple of tears and walked towards Rong Jingyang pitifully.
"A Jing," she called out softly, like a mosquito.
As if she had suffered endless grievances.
Seeing the scheming woman's petty trick, a fierce glint flashed in Feng Linwan's eyes.
Picking up Dou Dou, she handed her to her husband. "Dou Dou, go play with Grandpa first. Grandma and Mommy and Daddy have adult matters to attend to."
Rong Dou Dou had been educated to be sensible and well-behaved. She knew that when adults had things to do, children had to stay out of the way.
Without fussing or complaining, she obediently asked, "Grandma, how long will it take?"
Feng Linwan: "Very quickly, within an hour."
Rong Dou Dou: "Okay."
Rong Jianshen handed his granddaughter to Lin Xuanyao and returned to the hospital room.
Although Ai Wei couldn't stir up much trouble, and his wife knew martial arts, they had been through so many storms together over the years that they were already one.
Rong Jianshen wouldn't leave his wife's side for half a step.
"Come here," Feng Linwan said coldly, her face like ice.
Ai Wei's voice was nasal, and she reluctantly refused to move. "Auntie."
She knew Feng Linwan disliked her and always blindly and unconditionally sided with Du Ruoxin. As long as Feng Linwan was present, she was bound to have a bad time.
Past lessons had taught Ai Wei that Feng Linwan was not easy to deal with.
"I..." As soon as she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
On her way, Ai Wei had thought of many things to say to Rong Jingyang, but she hadn't expected Feng Linwan to be there, which threw her thoughts into disarray.
Because no matter what she said, Feng Linwan wouldn't buy it.
Instead of trying to explain haphazardly, it was better to see what Feng Linwan intended to do, so she could counter accordingly.
Ai Wei cried more and more sadly, staggering a few steps and falling towards Rong Jingyang.
The two were very close.
As if there was some illicit affair.
Feng Linwan couldn't stand this provocation.
She directly reached out and dragged Ai Wei to the bedside.
"Ah—"
Ai Wei stumbled and hurriedly explained, "No, Auntie, what happened yesterday..."
Before she could finish, "Slap!"
A loud slap landed on Ai Wei's face.
Feng Linwan, quick, accurate, and ruthless, kicked Ai Wei behind the knee. She fell to her knees with a thud.
"Apologize to Ruoxin!"
Feng Linwan said sternly.
Ai Wei touched her burning face, the hatred in her eyes deepening, and her tears flowed even more fiercely. Why! She hadn't harmed Du Ruoxin at all! Why should she apologize! Why should she endure such humiliation!
[I didn't!]
Ai Wei gritted her teeth.
She desperately wanted to argue with the old hag, but she ultimately held back.
"It wasn't me..." Ai Wei said tearfully, looking at Rong Jingyang. "Ruoxin's miscarriage has nothing to do with me..."
Feng Linwan grabbed Ai Wei's hair and twisted her around. "Why are you looking at my son? Look at me!"
"Ai Wei, in front of Ruoxin, I'm telling you clearly."
"You and my son are impossible!"
"You will never marry into the Rong family!"
"Not just the Rong family, but any wealthy family I know or that has dealings with the Rong family, I will never let you marry into them!"
"Do you understand?"
Feng Linwan spoke word by word, her cold eyes filled with disgust.
It was as if Ai Wei was the most disgusting, ugliest, and dirtiest thing in the world.
Ai Wei was startled and hastily explained, "No... Auntie, Du Ruoxin's miscarriage has nothing to do with me, look..."
She extended her hands and feet, pointing to her bruised and swollen face, Ai Wei cried buckets. "Miranda hit me, I just wanted to tell Shirley..."
"Slap!"
Feng Linwan slapped Ai Wei's face again.
She didn't listen to any of her explanations at all.
Not a single word.
Feng Linwan's sharp gaze fell on her son. "Rong Jingyang, speak!"
In front of Ruoxin, show your attitude!
