Her hands, which hung loosely by her thighs, clenched tightly into fists . It also trembled a little .

Xuxu sensed it and scurried over . “Yueyue . ”
She placed her hand on Su Yue’s shoulders and gently patted it . “Yueyue . ”
When Su Yue saw Xuxu, the expression in her eyes gradually calmed down . She faintly called out, “Third sister-in-law . ” Xuxu smiled at her before averting her gaze to Bai Jing and her mother .
“Madam, this is the hospital ward and the patient is resting . Don’t you have some basic courtesy?”
As she noticed that Bai Jing didn’t want to acknowledge her, she didn’t take it upon herself to call her as Bai Jing’s mother . Rather, she addressed her as ‘Madam’ instead .
Her sharp words were unpleasant to the middle-aged woman’s ears . “Yes, who are you?”

She shifted her gaze towards Xuxu as she asked . The way she looked at people was insufferably arrogant . When her eyes landed on Xuxu’s face, she was astonished . “You’re… the young Madam of Flourish & Prosper?”
Xuxu nodded her head . “I’m Wen Xuxu . ”
Her tone and attitude were unfathomably cold and aloof .
In an instant, a fawning smile appeared on the middle-aged lady’s face . “Hello, Third Madam Yan . I’m Bai Jing’s mother, Zhang Lihong . ”
She eagerly introduced herself to Xuxu .
But Xuxu remained silent and shifted her gaze away and looked at Bai Jing instead . Her expression turned soft . “Bai Jing, what happened?”

She had no rights nor was she in the position to ask about any grudge between the lady and Bai Jing’s father . She had no intention to probe either .
But from the way she spoke earlier, she already found the woman repulsive .
Her first impression of her was exactly how she’d imagined—snobbish, mean, materialistic, and self-centered .
Now that Bai Jing’s father was lying on the hospital bed—regardless of whatever feud happened between them—instead of offering words of wisdom, she came to lure her daughter away .
She was indirectly telling her daughter to abandon her crippled father to lead a far better and comfortable life with her .
It was no wonder why Bai Jing refused to acknowledge a mother like her .
Her favorable impression of Bai Jing intensified .
“I don’t know who she is . ” Bai Jing coldly turned her body away and sauntered towards the bed . She sat down beside Bai Lisong . She pulled two tissues to wipe away the beads of perspiration on his forehead . Tenderness filled her every action .
Witnessing this sight, Xuxu couldn’t help but feel sorry for her . She casually glanced at Zhang Lihong, Bai Jing’s mother .
“Madam Zhang, please go . Don’t disturb the patient’s rest . ”
She averted her gaze from her and walked towards Bai Jing with Su Yue trailing behind her .
As she was turning around, her eyes swept across Zhang Lihong’s face . She had put on a menacing gaze and it had Zhang Lihong shuddering in fear .
“Xiaojing, if you run into any difficulties, you must call and let mommy know, okay?” With Xuxu around, Zhang Lihong didn’t dare to pester Bai Jing any further . But she still cautiously and carefully moved towards her as she spoke .
Bai Jing ignored her .
Zhang Lihong looked at Bai Lisong before taking a last look at Bai Jing . She turned back to leave helplessly .
All these while, Yan Rusheng was standing at the door watching how Xuxu handled the tussle between Bai Jing and her mother . He felt that her aura was impressive .
So impressive that he almost felt his presence was redundant .
He raised his feet and stepped in as Zhang Lihong was walked out . When Zhang Lihong saw him, her expression changed .
Zhang Lihong wanted to greet Yan Rusheng, but he didn’t even bother to look at her .
He walked over to the bed and stood next to Xuxu . Bai Jing on the other hand rubbed her eyes, afterward she kept wiping Bai Lisong’s sweat away .
