2834 Chapter 2834

There was only Du Jiayi outside the ward. No one knew where Madam Li went.

The door was pushed open, and Du Jiayi walked into the ward with a fragrant breeze. Madam Xiao looked at the bright and energetic young lady in front of her. She couldn’t help but smile.

There were so many energetic young people. Only when she was with these young people would she feel young as if she had not aged.

“Aunt Xiao, are you okay?” Du Jiayi, who was sitting by the bed, looked at Madam Xiao worriedly. She held Madam Xiao’s right hand tightly and said softly, “Have a good rest. Don’t think too much. You still have me and my mother!

“With us accompanying you, you’ll definitely get better soon.”

“Jiayi, you’re so considerate. My heartache has mostly disappeared after hearing what you said. Where’s your mother? Wasn’t she outside just now?”

“My mother said that you definitely didn’t manage to have a good dinner. She’s worried that you’ll be hungry, so she hurriedly went out to buy porridge for you. Aunt Xiao, you must finish it later. That way, your energy will recover faster.” Du Jiayi really liked interacting with Madam Xiao and wasn’t perfunctory.

Madam Xiao was indeed very good to Du Jiayi. On Du Jiayi’s birthday, she would receive a birthday gift from Madam Xiao every time. All the gifts were exquisite, luxurious, and dreamy. They always gave her a huge surprise.

However, Xia Jinyuan never received even one. It was as if Madam Xiao had forgotten about him.

This was probably one of the reasons why Du Jiayi was afraid of Xia Jinyuan.

As Madam Xiao listened quietly, the smile in her eyes deepened.

Whether it was good or bad, decades had pa.s.sed. It was difficult for her to become good friends with someone else of the same age who could chat calmly and knew many of her secrets.

Hence, it didn’t matter if it was good or bad.

Madam Li, who came a step later, was originally empty-handed. When she appeared in front of the ward, she had a serving of barley porridge in her hand. When she saw her daughter talking to Madam Xiao softly, her expression was no longer as tense as when she walked out of the banquet. A faint smile finally appeared on her face.

“Madam Qin asked me why you didn’t go over. I told her that your old illness acted up and you had to be hospitalized. She said that she would come to the hospital to see you tomorrow.”

Madam Li was very busy. She opened the small dining table beside the bed and placed it flat. Then, she placed the porridge on it. She washed the spoon and placed it in the bowl. “I got you your favorite barley porridge.”

“Madam Qin is too polite. I’ll contact her tomorrow morning and tell her there’s no need to trouble her to come to the hospital.” Madam Xiao took a bite of the porridge. The taste was indeed not bad. “Not bad. Although the taste is a little lacking compared to the porridge you cook, it’s not bad.”

“I know that you’re picky, so I didn’t dare to casually buy it for you. Have it while it’s hot. Let Madam Qin come tomorrow. You can tell her about Ah Yuan. He went overboard today. He made you so angry that you went to the hospital but didn’t even come over to take a look. How can you let him off so easily?”

Madam Li’s gaze was a little ruthless. After saying that coldly, she turned her attention to her daughter. “I was so angry that I almost went to the hospital today. I really forced myself to hold on. I didn’t want to lose my composure at Madam Qin’s birthday party!”

“Jiayi, tell me. How did you anger your mother today?”

Du Jiayi bit her lower lip and did not dare to speak.

Madam Li glanced over and sneered. “She embarra.s.sed me today. For the sake of that young diplomat from the Qin family, heh, she really lowered her status. She doesn’t have any reservations a woman should have!”
