Chapter 234 Qiao Anna’s Calculating

Ling Tianyi stared at his mother and asked her to apologize to Xia Xiaoluo, which made He Meishu a little awkward. Just now, when Xia Xiaoluo smoothed things over, He Meishu refused to accept Xia Xiaoluo’s goodwill, because she wanted to test Ling Tianyi. She wanted to know who was more important in Ling Tianyi’s mind between Xia Xiaoluo and her.

“Darling, let’s go to buy some food!” Xia Xiaoluo pulled Ling Tianyi, but he didn’t move. Xia Xiaoluo did not have enough strength to pull Ling Tianyi away.

“What? Do you want to hit your mother? You unfilial son!” He Meishu was still domineering.

“Mom, stop talking!” Ling Tianxue said, but she wanted to make things worse.

When they were in a stalemate, Qiao Anna suddenly appeared. She found that He Meishu and Ling Tianxue didn’t seem to like Xia Xiaoluo. Qiao Anna wanted Ling Tianyi and his mother to continue to argue in the beginning, but the situation was bad now. If it went on, she couldn’t break the embarrassing situation easily. It was the best time for her to break the siege, and she could leave a good impression on everyone.

“Auntie, Tianxue, Yi. What’s the matter with you?” Qiao Anna wore a white cashmere coat, standing beside He Meishu with elegantly.

“Anna, why are you here?” Ling Tianxue asked.

“My uncle is the director of this hospital. He didn’t go home for dinner on the New Year, so I come to see him with some dumplings. I didn’t expect to see Yi just now. When I heard that Uncle Ling was ill, I came to see him.” Qiao Anna said and helped to find a support worker to clean up the mess on the ground.

Qiao Anna took He Meishu’s arms and said, “Aunt He, don’t worry. My uncle and the doctors will try their best to treat Uncle Ling.”

“Alas!” He Meishu patted Qiao Anna’s hands and signed.

In her eyes, Qiao Anna’s background was very good, she was beautiful and capable. She was sensible as well. She was qualified to be her daughter-in-law. Compared with Xia Xiaoluo, Qiao Anna was really excellent.

“Mom, don’t forget what I said just now because someone else is coming.” Ling Tianyi continued to say. It was obvious that the appearance of Qiao Anna did not make Ling Tianyi give up his desire of venting the anger for Xia Xiaoluo.

“What’s the matter?” Qiao Anna pretended not to know anything, she asked Ling Tianxue in a low voice.

“My mother pushed Xia Xiaoluo down. My brother is avenging his wife. He forced my mother to apologize to Xia Xiaoluo.” Ling Tianxue said with embarrassment. These words sounded harsh to both Ling Tianyi and He Meishu.

Xia Xiaoluo was embarrassed, so she said hurriedly, “It’s all my fault. Just now, mom didn’t want to have lunch. I insisted that she should eat something. She just pushed me slightly to refuse me. I didn’t stop myself, so I fell down and overturned the dishes. It’s a misunderstanding and it’s my fault.”

“Yi, your wife has clarified the misunderstanding. Don’t act like that. We are in the hospital, it’s a public place. Uncle Ling’s operation has attracted those paparazzi. If they come here and see you and Aunt He facing out, I’m afraid that they will make up a mess. At that time, we can’t make a clear explanation.” Qiao Anna said.

“What’s more, Aunt He is your mother after all. Don’t act like that anymore, just showing respect for a stranger’s feelings, OK?” Qiao Anna was not satisfied with Ling Tianyi’s saying that she was a stranger, so she repeated this word to Ling Tianyi now.

“Darling, she’s right! Let’s go and buy some food for mom and Tianxue. Even if I beg you, OK?” Xia Xiaoluo shook Ling Tianyi’s arms again.

Ling Tianyi took a deep breath, patted Xia Xiaoluo’s shoulders and said, “No need, they don’t want to eat anything anyway. Just sit down!”

Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to sit down. According to his temper, he should have taken Xia Xiaoluo to leave directly without caring about anything. But, after all, Ling Desheng was in surgery. No matter what the truth was, he couldn’t leave the hospital because he was his son. Fortunately, Xia Xiaoluo was staying with him, so he could protect her, he was at ease. But he was really angry about what happened just now. What he couldn’t bear was Xia Xiaoluo being wronged.

Qiao Anna knew that she had to take the opportunity to behave well.

“Then I’ll buy some food for you!” Qiao Anna suggested.

“Aunt He, I know you’re worried about Uncle Ling and you don’t want to eat anything now. But, as the old saying, one can’t live without food. The more anxious we are, the more energy we need, so we need to eat more food. What’s more, you and Uncle Ling are affectionate to each other. When Uncle Ling comes out later, you must take care of him. If you don’t eat anything, how can you manage it?” Qiao Anna took He Meishu’s arms and said tenderly. He Meishu was very moved because Qiao Anna spoke out what He Meishu thought in her heart.

“Alas!” With a long sigh, He Meishu agreed.

“What would you like to eat, Aunt He? I’ll buy it for you.” Qiao Anna asked happily. If He Meishu ate the food she bought, Xia Xiaoluo would be embarrassed by He Meishu. Qiao Anna was very excited about it.

“I really don’t have an appetite now. You can buy anything you like! Just something not too greasy.” He Meishu patted Qiao Anna’s hands and said. “Good girl! You are so nice. It’s hard for you.”

“It’s OK, Aunt He. Tianxue and I are classmates and friends since childhood. It’s fit for me to do these things.” Qiao Anna was very satisfied with this situation, and she said to Ling Tianxue, “Tianxue, what would you like to eat? I know you like spicy food!”

“OK, just do it! I’m not picky.” Ling Tianxue sat beside He Meishu, she was depressed.

“Yi, what would you and your wife like to eat?” Qiao Anna asked.

“No. We just had lunch.” Ling Tianyi said with a poker-face.

“Thank you. We have had lunch.” Xia Xiaoluo said with gratitude. She didn’t know what terrible things would happen if Qiao Anna was not here.

“Don’t mention it. We are all young people and friends. My name is Qiao Anna. Just call me Anna. You can play with me when you are free!” Qiao Anna said and shook hands with Xia Xiaoluo.

Xia Xiaoluo shook hands with Qiao Anna hurriedly, “My name is Xia Xiaoluo, nice to meet you!”

“Me too. Nice to meet you! Xia Xiaoluo.” Qiao Anna said with a smile. In fact, she wished to chop Xia Xiaoluo into cinders in her heart, then she could be the wife of Ling Tianyi.

Qiao Anna said a few words and went to buy some food. Even if Ling Tianyi refused her, she still bought some drinks and bread for them.

Meals for He Meishu and Ling Tianxue were carefully selected by Qiao Anna. She prepared the dishes not so greasy for He Meishu, and some spicy food for Ling Tianxue. They were very satisfied. After eating, they also drunk a little Turtle Pigeon Soup.

Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head, she was at ease when she saw that He Meishu was full. Xia Xiaoluo thought she was too stupid. She made a lot of troubles when she was delivering food to He Meishu, but Qiao Anna did a good job.

Ling Tianyi was dissatisfied with his mother’s behavior, but he was at ease when he saw He Meishu eat something. After all, she was his mother, Ling Tianyi was also worried about He Meishu’s health.

After eating, He Meishu talked with Qiao Anna and let her go back to have a rest. There was no need for her to stay in the hospital during the New Year. However, Qiao Anna didn’t leave. She said that she could not at ease if she could not see Ling Desheng, because she was worried about Ling Desheng.

He Meishu was more satisfied with Qiao Anna at this time. He Meishu thought her daughter-in-law must be knowledgeable and reasonable. The most important thing was that she should respect the elders, being filial.

Qiao Anna didn’t leave because she just wanted to make the people of the Ling family like her. She also wanted to know when Ling Desheng was in surgery, who else would come, she wanted to know if any other woman would come.

While Qiao Anna was thinking about it, Cheng Yalin came leisurely.

“Yi, I heard that your father was ill, so I come to see him. Is he better now?” Cheng Yalin asked gently.

Qiao Anna thought that Cheng Yalin looked very familiar to her, and she knew that Cheng Yalin must be useful to her in the future. Cheng Yalin would help her a lot in the future.

“He’s having an operation.” Ling Tianyi said, he didn’t see Cheng Yalin. He knew that Xia Xiaoluo didn’t like this woman, so he tried to avoid speaking to her, in order not to let Xiaoluo worry about it.

He Meishu didn’t like Cheng Yalin, so she didn’t speak to her. But Ling Tianxue thought that they were the members of the alliance after all, so she said, “Sister Yalin, there are many people here, you can go home first. When my father comes out, I will call you.”

Hearing the name, Qiao Anna finally remembered that Cheng Yalin was Ling Tianyi’s first girlfriend. She didn’t expect this woman would appear again, so she decided to make good use of Cheng Yalin.

Qiao Anna wanted to go after Ling Tianyi, but she knew that Ling Tianyi liked Xia Xiaoluo very much. If she took action by herself, Ling Tianyi would be repellent to her easily. It was better if Cheng Yalin and Xia Xiaoluo to fight against each other first. When they were weakened and they left Ling Tianyi together, she could comfort him and let Ling Tianyi fall in love with her.

Qiao Anna stood up and went to Cheng Yalin, “Hello, my name is Qiao Anna. I’m Tianxue’s classmate and friend. I see you are familiar with each other. Tianxue, please introduce her to me.”

Qiao Anna was going to make friends with Cheng Yalin, because only when they became friends, she could carry out her plan.
