Return of the Daughter: The Earl's Astronomically Valuable Wife

Chapter 39

Hearing the seriousness in Nalan Zhenqin's calm tone, Ruan Xin's heart sank, she stared out of the window and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation now?"

"It is still being rescued, and the specific situation is not very clear."

Listening to Nalan Zhenqin's words, Ruan Xin knocked on the window sill unconsciously with one hand, her brows were tightly frowned, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lan En and Jiang Xuning standing at the door of the ward with their things waiting for her, gently He let out a breath and said: "Well, I see, comfort the family members of the injured workers, and temporarily suspend work on the construction site, find out the cause of the accident, and then carefully check all the facilities on the construction site to ensure that there are no other hidden dangers. "

"I know ma'am!"

Ruan Xin hung up the phone, and the letter was a bit more dignified. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, she let out a sigh of relief, adjusted her mood, and then turned and walked towards Lan En and the others.

Lan En knew that something was wrong when he saw his kitten's slightly frowning brows. He stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, put the flowers in his hands into her arms, and gently stroked her with his slender fingers. Frowning slightly, he asked softly, "What happened?"

Ruan Xin turned her head to look at Lan En, shook her head with a smile, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we leave the hospital!" While speaking, she had already arrived at the door of the ward, and smiled and said to Jiang Xuning who was waiting outside the ward: "No Sorry to keep Mr. Jiang waiting, let's go in!"

Jiang Xuning's temperament is straightforward, but he is not the kind of person who has no thoughts, otherwise he would not be qualified to be the general manager of Jiang's Jewelry. On the phone, he found that she seemed to be preoccupied, even though she had the usual gentle smile on her face.

"Please, both of you." Jiang Xuning knew what might be wrong?But now it's not easy for him to ask in this situation, he just opened the door of the ward as if he didn't find anything, and invited the two of them in.

"Why haven't you come in yet? Is something wrong?"

As soon as Ruan Xin walked into the ward, she heard an old voice. When she looked up, she saw a thin old man with gray hair and an oxygen tube inserted in his face. His heart trembled when he met the pair of eyes that instantly became radiant. Her body tensed involuntarily, and a trace of tension filled her heart, causing her to slightly clenched her fingers.

Lan En, who was holding Ruan Xin in his arms, was the first to feel her abnormal reaction. With a gentle and polite smile on his face, the hand around her shoulder slid onto her back without a trace, patted her lightly, and then slightly Shi Li led her to the hospital bed, looked at the old man on the bed, and said politely: "Hi, old lady, I'm Lane Cook, and this is my wife Ruan Xin."

Under Lan En's silent reassurance, Ruan Xin realized that she had become inexplicably nervous. She took a deep breath and relaxed. Looking at the agitated old lady Jiang, she greeted politely with a smile, "Hi old lady, I'm Ruan Xin, I hope you recover soon." He said and handed over the flowers in his hand.

Jiang Xuning, with both hands full of things, also walked to the other side of the hospital bed at this time, showed the things in his hand to his grandmother, and said with a smile: "Look, grandma, these are given by Mr. Cook and Mrs. Cook." The nutritional supplements you bought." After speaking, he put the things on the side cabinet.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the smiling Ruan Xin in front of her, her expression was a little dazed, as if she saw herself in the past, but she was a little different from herself. She raised her hand slowly, as if she wanted to touch Ruan Xin, but it was a pity that her hand had just been raised, and then fell down weakly.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan on the side hurried forward, carefully avoided the needle in her mother's hand and held her hand, and gently comforted her: "Mom, if you have something to say, speak slowly, don't worry."

Ruan Xin was in a strange mood at this time. She had a strong sense of intimacy with this old man whom she had just met for the first time. Looking at her wrinkled hands with needles, she had an inexplicable feeling that those hands must be very Seeing some anxiety in her cloudy eyes, Ruan Xin walked over by mistake, stretched out her hand to gently hold her hand, and sighed in her heart, it really is very warm!
The smile on his face warmed a little unconsciously, and he looked at the excited old lady and said, "Old lady, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Ruan Xin who had curved eyebrows and eyes, her eyes were slightly moist, she opened her mouth a few times, but she couldn't speak because of excitement, her chest was constantly heaving, and the instrument next to her was also fluctuating.

"Mom! Don't get excited. If you get too excited and enter the emergency room, you won't be able to see Mrs. Cook." Jiang Xuning's mother has been paying attention to the equipment next to her. Qian persuaded, knowing that she likes Ruan Xin very much, so he just used her as an issue.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Jiang couldn't hear Ruan Xin, she immediately clenched Ruan Xin's hand with her fingers, calmed down slowly, tried to open her mouth a few times, and then slowly made a weak sound, " Child, child, you, can you, call, call me, one, one, grandma, grandma?" She spoke very hard, and she paused without saying a word, and she was stunned by the words that were not long. She talked for a long time.

Hearing her intermittent words and the anticipation in her eyes, Ruan Xin was in a complicated mood, she nodded with a smile, and called softly, "Grandma Jiang."

Although saying "Jiang" made this name unsatisfactory, the old lady Jiang still nodded happily, holding Ruan Xin's hand tightly again, and a smile appeared on her pale and thin face, but she just went down. For a moment, he fell asleep due to lack of energy.

"Grandma Jiang!" Ruan Xin called out in shock when she saw her eyes suddenly closed and her heart trembled.

Jiang Xuning's mother looked at the panic on Ruan Xin's face, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Mrs. Cook, don't worry, Mom, she's just asleep."

Lan En also thoughtfully stood behind Ruan Xin when she yelled, holding her shoulders with both hands, calming her emotions silently, turning her eyes around the sleeping old lady Jiang, and then back to On the person in front of him.

Hearing that she just fell asleep, Ruan Xin raised her heart in her throat for a moment and slowly fell to the ground. Seeing the old man holding her hand tightly, she didn't pull it back in a hurry, but turned to look at Jiang Xuning's mother beside her and said : "Mrs. Jiang, may I take the liberty to ask, how is Grandma Jiang doing now?"

"Of course, let's sit over there!" Jiang Xuning's mother, You Minghui, glanced at the sleeping mother-in-law, nodded softly, and invited Ruan Xin and Lan En to talk in the small living room.

Mrs. Jiang lives in the highest-class private ward, which is not only well decorated, but also fully furnished. If it weren't for the medical equipment, it really wouldn't be obvious that this is a ward.

Ruan Xin nodded, and carefully took her hand out of hers. Seeing that she hadn't been woken up, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the sofa beside her, and sat down next to Lan En.

"I'm sorry you two, there's only tea here." Jiang Xuan brewed two cups of tea and put them on the tea table in front of Ruan Xin and Lan En. After she finished speaking apologetically, she looked back at her mother and sat on the single sofa beside her. .

Ruan Xin shook her head with a smile, saying that it's okay. After they all sat down, she continued the topic just now, "I don't know what's going on with Grandma Jiang? Is it serious?" Ruan Xin couldn't help turning her head at this point. Looking at the old lady lying on the hospital bed.

You Minghui sighed softly, and said: "To tell you the truth, my mother-in-law's health is not too bad, it's just that she suffered from some diseases during confinement, and now that she's getting older, many of her body's functions have degenerated. , plus she has been worrying about her heart, making her health worse and worse, but this time I really want to thank you, I haven't seen my mother-in-law so happy like today for a long time, Mrs. Cook, my mother-in-law really likes you!"

"Thank you! I also like Grandma Jiang very much." Ruan Xin said sincerely with a smile. If she hadn't had to rush back to City A now, she really wanted to have a good talk with the old lady, and she couldn't help but sigh when she thought about it. Looking at Jiang Xuan and the others, he said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to spend more time with Grandma Jiang, but I have something to do and I have to go back to City A right away, so I won't bother you today. I'll visit her old man sometime when I have time." After speaking, he stood up.

Hearing that Ruan Xin said that she was going to leave, Jiang Xuan and the others were stunned for a moment, then stood up, and originally wanted to persuade them to stay, but thinking of their identities, they still didn't say the words to persuade them to stay.

You Minghui walked up to Ruan Xin, took her hand and held it, and said gratefully: "Mrs. Cook, thank you very much for coming to see my mother-in-law. Originally, I wanted A Yuan to treat you to dinner tonight." Thank you, I didn't expect you to leave now."

"Mrs. Jiang, you don't need to be so polite. Grandma Jiang and I are so destined. I should come to see her. I didn't do anything? So you don't have to thank me." Ruan Xin likes the harmonious atmosphere of the Jiang family when they get along. That's her I haven't felt it since my mother passed away. Although my father loves her in every possible way, most of his energy is still put on his career. As for the mother and daughter, now recalling the scenes of getting along with each other in the past, she was shocked. The harmony they thought was just what they thought they were, they only took advantage of themselves for granted, and never really treated themselves as a family.

Thinking of the mother and daughter, a dark light flashed in Ruan Xin's eyes, she nodded to Lan En beside her, and then said to You Minghui and the others: "Excuse me today, we are leaving first, please tell Grandma Jiang, Please take good care of her health, I will come to see her some other day when I am free." After speaking, he took Lan En's hand and walked out of the ward.

Jiang Xuning stepped forward, looked at Ruan Xin and Lan En and said, "I'll see you off."

Ruan Xin didn't refuse, and said goodbye to You Minghui and the others politely, and took a last look at the old lady sleeping on the hospital bed, and pulled Lan En away.

"Lingling, have you got it?" Ruan Xin had just walked out of the ward not far away. In the ward, You Minghui couldn't wait to look at her precious daughter and asked, with a trace of nervousness in her expression.

Jiang Lingling looked at the nervousness of her mother and sister-in-law, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and took out a transparent bag from her hand, and said with a proud expression of 'quick praise me': "How can I not be able to handle it?" After she finished speaking, she blinked at them, and the transparent bag in her hand contained a few strands of hair.
