Everyone rolled their eyes. Are they really going to praise the mother-in-law now?

Well, your biological daughter is amazing and untouchable, but don’t blame us for being unsparing with your adopted daughter.

“Mrs. Zhu, I heard you brought your adopted daughter back?”

Lin Qing frowned, wondering why the topic suddenly shifted to Xiangxiang. What were these gossiping wives plotting?

“She’s also my daughter. Although she’s not my birth child, we’ve been together for sixteen years, and we’re inseparable.” Lin Qing took a sip of tea and replied lightly.

“Madam Zhu, we all know you’re kind-hearted, but be careful not to raise a white-eyed wolf.”

Lin Qing sneered: “You don’t need to worry, I know my own daughter, don’t I?”

The other woman shook her head: “Madam Zhu, you might not know this, but it’s all over Shengde High School. I heard from my daughter, who is in the same class as your Ming Jing, that your adopted daughter’s blood brother has leukemia and she is the only compatible donor. Her biological mother knelt down begging her to donate her bone marrow, but she refused. Medical technology is so advanced nowadays, donating bone marrow is no more than taking a blood sample, and it won’t cause any significant harm to her body. And besides, that’s her blood brother. She can be so cold-hearted to her own family, Madam Zhu, you better be careful.”

“Mrs. Zhu, you can’t let go of her because you’ve spent too much money and emotion on her for sixteen years. But can she let go of you?… Considering how ruthless she is to her own mother and brother, how much affection do you think she has for you?”

They were almost accusing her of being materialistic and snobbish.

Lin Qing’s face darkened, as she had just heard these things for the first time. She suddenly recalled the stormy night when Zhu Xiangxiang rushed back home, and later when the security guard called saying Zhao Xiaohui was looking for Xiangxiang, but she didn’t think much of it then due to her dislike for Deng Kun’s family. Now it seemed that Xiangxiang had been hiding things from her.

“But I have to say, Ms. Ming Jing is so kind. After she found out about this, she told the housekeeper to secretly pay the hospital bills for them and even covered the surgery costs. Unlike your adopted daughter, who didn’t donate and just left the mother and son in the lurch. Mrs. Zhu, you have such a good biological daughter, yet you adore some white-eyed wolf from another family, and we can’t help but praise you for being a great philanthropist. There are so many homeless orphans in the orphanage, why don’t you show some kindness and provide them with a good home as well?”

Finding a chance to ridicule Lin Qing, everyone attacked her relentlessly, leaving her speechless.

Lin Qing returned home with a bellyful of anger and happened to see Xiao Ying carrying a thermos and leaving. She didn’t get out of the car but followed her.

“Yangyang, your sister brought you some delicious food. Have you been good and taken your medicine today?”

Yangyang needed a good rest, so he was moved to a double room. The old man in the next bed lived near the hospital and rarely stayed there.

“Sister Xiao Ying.” The little boy sitting on the sickbed was drawing. He looked up, and the sunlight fell on his face. His smile was even warmer and brighter than the sunlight outside the window.

“What are you drawing?” Xiao Ying walked over and glanced at the drawing, surprised: “Miss Ming Jing?”

It was a simple sketch on the paper, depicting a delicate girl’s side profile in just a few strokes. The girl’s head was slightly raised, her lips gently curled. She had a soft and compassionate aura.

It was exactly like Miss Ming Jing’s aura.

Deng Yang had never seen Ming Jing, but he managed to draw her just based on a few descriptions he had heard about her. This child had an incredible talent.

“Can you give the drawing to my sister?” Deng Yang asked carefully.

“Of course, Miss Ming Jing will definitely like your drawing.” Xiao Ying patted his head.

Initially, she simply pitied the child, but after interacting with him a few times, she was completely conquered by his understanding and well-behaved nature, and her disdain for Zhu Xiangxiang deepened.

If it weren’t for Miss Ming Jing’s compassion, the world would have lost a pure soul.

“Really?” Deng Yang’s eyes shone with anticipation.

“Of course it’s true. Today, I brought you chicken soup that I’ve cooked for four hours. Smell it, doesn’t it smell great…?”

“It smells so fantastic, Sister Xiao Ying. You’re so kind.”

“If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Ming Jing. Without her instructions, I wouldn’t have had the time to cook the soup and bring it to you.”

Xiao Ying closed the door to the sickroom. As she turned around, she saw the person in front of her and dropped the thermos in shock.

“Madam?”

Lin Qing peeked through the glass window in the door and saw a little boy lying on the bed next to the window.

“Tell me, what’s going on?” Lin Qing asked coldly.

Xiao Ying’s heart trembled, but she quickly told the truth. After all, it wasn’t something disgraceful. Since Zhu Xiangxiang did it, she shouldn’t be afraid of people talking about it.

After some emotional storytelling with a few embellishments, Xiao Ying recounted the whole story, emphasizing how Zhao Xiaohui had pleaded with Zhu Xiangxiang on that rainy night, only to be met with indifference and even verbal abuse. Zhu Xiangxiang’s heartless image was vividly portrayed.

“Miss Ming Jing accidentally heard my conversation with Madam Zhou and learned about this. She told me not to tell anyone else about it…”

Lin Qing looked at her coldly: “Are you sure you haven’t mentioned it to anyone?”

Xiao Ying thought for a moment, “I met Miss Ming Jing and her classmates at the hospital one night. While Miss Ming Jing was on the phone, one of her classmates asked me, and I told her.”

So that’s how it happened. The rumors must have been spread by Ming Jing’s classmate, who didn’t realize the consequences of her actions and unknowingly ruined Zhu Xiangxiang. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Lin Qing glared at her fiercely: “Your mouth is nothing but trouble. From tomorrow on, you’ll be paid off and leave the Zhu’s.”

Xiao Ying was struck dumb, “Madam, what did I do wrong?”
