Chapter 1042: Who Are You Putting on Airs for?
In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng had been lying in the ward for more than half a month. During this period, he had been in a daze. He would wake up occasionally, but he was asleep most of the time.
“Mom, why isn’t Brother Mu Feng awake yet?” In the ward, a young woman was standing at the door and looking at the bed worriedly.
“Sigh, what a hard life. The doctor said that he was much better half a month ago, but he was pulled out for a run and his condition became so serious.” The noblewoman standing beside the woman was Mu Feng’s stepmother, Zhang Yi. As she spoke, she looked at Wei Jin, who was by the bed.
However, contrary to her wishes, Wei Jin did not react at all when she heard her sarcastic words.
The young woman looked at Wei Jin enviously. “I wonder what Grandpa is thinking. Why didn’t he let me take care of Brother Mu Feng?”
“Go in and take care of him. Your sister-in-law must be tired.” Zhang Yi pushed Wang Ya forward and gave her a look.
Wang Ya was the daughter Zhang Yi had brought over when she got married. She was not related to Mu Feng by blood. Mu Feng’s father was infertile, and Zhang Yi knew that he could not have a son anymore.
She had placed all her hopes on Wang Ya and Mu Feng getting married. Only when Wang Ya became the daughter-in-law of the Mu family could she guarantee that the quality of her life would not be reduced.
Initially, the mother and daughter had planned well. Who would have thought that Wei Jin would appear out of nowhere and occupy the position of the Mu family’s daughter-in-law? Zhang Yi and Wang Ya simply treated Wei Jin as a thorn in their flesh.
Wang Ya walked to the bed and patted Wei Jin with her bag. “Hey, go back first. I’ll take care of Brother.”
Wei Jin finally turned to look at her. Even though there was obvious fatigue on her face, it could not hide her charm, making Wang Ya even more jealous.
“I’m his wife. I should take care of him.” After not speaking for a long time, Wei Jin’s voice was a little hoarse.
“You! You just registered your marriage. Do you really think you’re the daughter-in-law of the Mu family?”
“As his mother, I haven’t even agreed to let you marry him. Who are you putting on airs for?” Zhang Yi walked over and looked at Wei Jin disdainfully.
She had also heard that Wei Jin had fallen out with the Wei family’s old residence and severed ties with her father. Zhang Yi did not care about such a woman without her family’s support.
“Then who are you putting on airs for?” When the three of them were not paying attention, Mu Feng, who was on the bed, had opened his eyes and was looking at Zhang Yi coldly.
Being stared at by Mu Feng’s eyes, Zhang Yi’s expression froze. She smiled unnaturally. “Son.”
“Get lost.” Mu Feng’s body was still very weak, but the hail in his tone was enough to freeze someone to death.
“Brother Mu Feng ~” Wang Ya took a step forward and brushed the hair on her forehead.
However, Mu Feng did not look at her at all. His thin lips spat out, “Get lost too.”
Zhang Yi dug her fingers into her palm and looked at Wei Jin hatefully. Then, she pulled Wang Ya’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Wang Ya still did not give up and wanted to talk to Mu Feng again, but she was forcefully pulled away by Zhang Yi.
“Are you okay?” Wei Jin held Mu Feng’s hand with red eyes.
“It’s nothing.” Mu Feng, who had a cold expression just now, was filled with gentleness. “They didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”
Wei Jin shook her head. “I’ll call the doctor to check on you.”
She was about to get up when Mu Feng grabbed her hand. “Don’t go. Stay with me.”
Wei Jin sat back down. Wei Jin was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Mu Feng. “Am I very ugly?”
After all, she had been taking care of Mu Feng in the hospital these few days and Wei Jin did not have time to dress up. She, who had always had perfect makeup, had not applied any makeup.
“No.” Mu Feng’s long and narrow phoenix eyes were filled with a smile. “You’re especially good-looking.”
The perfect Wei Jin when they first met had indeed moved him, but although she was not wearing makeup now, Wei Jin, whose eyes were filled with him, made him fall in love even more.
Wei Jin’s face flushed red from Mu Feng’s words. “Are you feeling better?”
“Mm.” Mu Feng nodded, but he had just woken up and his stamina was still a little weak. “I’ll lie down for a while more.”
He held Wei Jin’s hand tightly. “Don’t go.”
“Okay.” Wei Jin nodded. “I definitely won’t leave.”
Outside the hospital, Zhang Yi and Wang Ya had just gone out when they bumped into Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling, who had come to the hospital to visit.
“Mom, is that man Jun Shiling?” They had already brushed past each other. Wang Ya looked back.
“Mm.” Zhang Yi looked at Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling’s backs thoughtfully. “They might be here to see Mu Feng.”
“Mom, I heard that Xia Wanyuan is the head of the Wei family. Could she be here to support Wei Jin? Is Wei Jin confirmed to be Brother Mu Feng’s wife? What should we do?”
The Mu family would definitely be handed over to Mu Feng in the future. It was fine with Father Mu around now, but once Father Mu abdicated, how could the Mu family’s assets have anything to do with them?
Zhang Yi patted Wang Ya’s hand comfortingly. “Don’t panic. I’ll think of a way.”
Upstairs, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling had already walked to the ward. Wei Jin was helping Mu Feng wipe his face with a basin of hot water.
After not seeing Xia Wanyuan for so long, Wei Jin’s eyes lit up. “Cousin.”
“Mm, how is he?” On the bed, Mu Feng was still asleep.
“The doctor said that the critical period has passed. He’ll be fine after resting for a while.” Wei Jin smiled at Xia Wanyuan. “Thank you for your concern, Cousin.”
“It’s good that he’s fine.” Mu Feng had helped Xia Wanyuan a lot. Now that he was lying on the bed, Xia Wanyuan was worried.
“Alright, you’ve seen him. Let’s go?” Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan.
Initially, he was prepared to discuss with Xia Wanyuan what it meant to “work hard but to no avail”. However, Xia Wanyuan suddenly suggested to come and see Mu Feng, so he could only follow.
After seeing Mu Feng and Wei Jin, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. She handed the soup box in her hand to Wei Jin. “Then we’ll leave first.”
“Mm, thank you for coming so late, Cousin. When Mu Feng recovers, we’ll go to the manor to thank you.” Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan gratefully. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would still be controlled by Wei Zhong and would not have a chance to be with Mu Feng.
“We’re family. You’re too polite.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and waved at Wei Jin.
When Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left the hospital, it began to snow again.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and stared at Jun Shiling, blinking.
Jun Shiling laughed. “Do you want to take a walk?”
Xia Wanyuan nodded. “How do you know everything?”
Jun Shiling reached out to adjust Xia Wanyuan’s scarf and hat. “How can I not know you?”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and placed her hand in Jun Shiling’s pocket. “I want to eat cake.”
“Okay.”
