Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

Zhou Yi stared at the car, paused for a moment, and then looked at the driver's seat.

At that moment, the driver's side door opened, and the driver got out of the car.

Upon seeing the driver, Zhou Yi finally confirmed that this was her husband's car and immediately asked, "Is your husband in the car?"

The driver opened the back door and said, "She's not here. The master asked me to take Miss Zhou to the hospital."

In an instant, Zhou Yi understood.

It must have been Aunt Dong who told Mr. Dong that she was going to the hospital, and that's when he instructed the driver to pick her up.

She hadn't seen her husband since lunch and didn't know if he was at the hotel or had gone out.

But no matter where he is, he is always busy.

Zhou Yi obediently replied, "Okay, thank you."

"Miss Zhou, you're too kind."

Soon, Zhou Yi got into the car, and before long the car was heading towards the hospital.

At this moment, in the hospital.

After Li Jiahong finished speaking with Zhou Yi, she hung up the phone and walked towards Sun Huilan: "Fifth sister-in-law, Zhou Yi will be here soon. Please wait for me."

As soon as the call ended, the smile on Li Jiahong's face vanished.

When facing Sun Huilan, her expression became even colder.

There wasn't even a hint of a smile to greet the guests.

Facing Li Jiahong's cold attitude, Sun Huilan seemed oblivious to Li Jiahong's displeasure and smiled gently, "It's alright, there's no rush. There are people taking care of my mother-in-law in the ward now, so I'm at ease."

"I'll wait here outside for Zhou Yi to come over. I've never seen this child before. I wonder if she's starting to look more and more like her father now."

Li Jiahong said directly, "No, she looks like her mother."

"..."

With just one sentence, he silenced Sun Huilan.

However, Li Jiahong was not lying, nor was she deliberately trying to provoke Sun Huilan. She was telling the truth; Zhou Yi did indeed resemble her mother.

Especially as she grew older and her features matured, her face and figure became more and more like Zuo Qing's.

Zuo Qing is quite beautiful; she's a well-known beauty in their town, and everyone in the surrounding area knows about her.

One year, the town held a beauty pageant, and Zuo Qing came in first place.

Back then, beauty pageants truly showcased genuine beauty—all-natural, untouched by external intervention. It was simply a matter of naturally beautiful faces and figures. Every vote cast was genuine, without any manipulation.

Zhou Yi's father was also good-looking, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a tall stature, and a straight posture; he was quite handsome.

The two of them standing together are a match made in heaven.

It was unexpected that Zhou Yi's father was such a heartless person, cheating on his wife and abandoning his children. It was a pity that Zuo Qingnian died young, leaving behind an orphan girl to grow up in hardship.

Thinking about all this, Li Jiahong felt incredibly sorry for Zhou Yi, and then her attitude towards Sun Huilan worsened.

Sun Huilan doesn't have Zuo Qing's face at all; she's purely good off because of her family background. She dares to say that if Sun Huilan didn't have such a good family background, how could Zhou Yi's father have cheated on her?

When a woman reaches her age, she has seen a lot and has long since seen through men.

Especially someone like Zhou Yi's father, who abandoned his wife and children, clearly showed that he would do anything for his own sake.

Too cruel, too cold-blooded.

Sun Huilan is no pushover; she's the kind of person who'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Otherwise, how could she be here talking to ants?

Li Jiahong's attitude didn't show any displeasure at all. On the contrary, she was very nice and always acted like a gentle and virtuous wife, without putting on any airs of a noblewoman.

Even when Li Jiahong showed disdain and contempt, she didn't react at all.

It seems that she accepts whatever Li Jiahong says.

Li Jiahong clearly didn't want to talk to Sun Huilan, so Sun Huilan stopped talking and the two of them waited quietly not far from the ward for Zhou Yi to arrive.

While they waited, Sun Huilan silently watched over the bodyguards outside the door. The bodyguards were dressed in custom-made suits, tall and expressionless.

This is no ordinary bodyguard.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seems this benefactor has some status.

There was no traffic congestion in the small county town at around 4 a.m., and the car stopped in front of the hospital in just a few minutes.

Zhou Yi said to the driver, "Thank you."

She took her large canvas bag and was about to get out of the car when the driver said, "Ms. Zhou, call me when you're coming back tonight, and I'll come pick you up."

Zhou Yi paused, then quickly shook her head: "No need, no need, I'll take a taxi back tonight, it's very convenient."

The driver said, "That's what the master instructed."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi was speechless for a moment, and then obediently said, "Okay."

Soon, the driver gave Zhou Yi the phone number, which Zhou Yi wrote down. She then got out of the car and jogged into the hospital.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened and stopped on the floor where Xu Fengzhen was. Zhou Yi immediately went out and hurried towards the ward.

As she turned the corner, two people came into view in the distance.

One was Li Jiahong, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes, with makeup and hair like a wealthy lady on TV, exuding the air of a noblewoman.

Upon seeing the two people, Zhou Yi's gaze fell on Sun Huilan, and he knew that this was his brother's biological mother.

She walked quickly toward the two of them.

As she walked over, Li Jiahong happened to be looking this way and immediately saw Zhou Yi. A smile immediately appeared on her face: "Zhou Yi!"

Immediately, Li Jiahong walked over to Zhou Yi.

Sun Huilan was looking at the hospital's decor and furnishings, lost in thought.

She didn't hear Zhou Yi's footsteps and didn't know he had arrived.

But Li Jiahong's loud voice instantly reached her ears, her brow twitched, and she turned around.

As she turned around, a gentle, motherly smile graced her face, as if she were waiting for her daughter's return; her eyes were filled with anticipation.

However, upon seeing the person approaching, or more precisely, upon seeing that face that was exactly like Zuo Qing's, all the pretense on Sun Huilan's face vanished.

Like a beautiful flower, no matter how beautiful, it is ultimately an illusion.

It won't come true.

The moment she saw Zhou Yi's face, she could no longer feign innocence.

As Li Jiahong approached, Zhou Yi quickly ran a few steps to her side and said, "Third Aunt, I'm so sorry to trouble you to stay here and watch over things."

"You go back first and take care of your business. I'll stay here."

My third aunt's family has fields and land, and chickens, ducks and geese. She has a lot to do every day.

Zhou Yi felt very apologetic for having to come back to the hospital for two consecutive days and missing so much work.

Seeing Zhou Yi's remorseful expression, Li Jiahong immediately said, "It's alright! Your third uncle is at home. You know your third uncle; he's the kind of guy who's good at doing chores. Let him do it. Besides, he's gained weight recently and needs to lose some weight. Otherwise, being too fat can easily lead to high blood pressure, which won't do."

Normally, Li Jiahong would leave after talking to Zhou Yi, leaving Zhou Yi to stay with Xu Fengzhen in the ward. But now that Sun Huilan was here, she was worried that the child would be bullied.

So she's determined to stay here and protect the child.

Zhou Yi knew Li Jiahong was making an excuse; her third aunt was worried about her and was staying with her, for which she was very grateful. However, she couldn't hold her third aunt back, so she said, "Third Aunt, you..."

"Is this Yiyi?"
