Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 117 Facing
"Okay, Grandma, take care." Shen Menghan was extremely calm. She neither smiled nor cried, just quietly gazing at these people.
"Xiaohan, if you want to eat anything or do anything, let Zhicheng take care of it for you. Don't be shy." Runqiong thought she would say some flattering words before leaving, but who knew that what she said made her feel like something else, so she had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
What can Shen Menghan do? All she wants to do right now is lie down and get some more sleep. If she has another nightmare like that, she doesn't want to sleep anymore.
"Xiaohan, if you feel unwell anywhere, just say so and the nurse will call a doctor. Also, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." Qin Fengjiao was focused on Xiaohan, completely ignoring Xu Jingjing, who was watching her from not far behind. Right now, Xiaohan was the most important person. If she had time, she wanted to teach that slut a lesson.
"I'm not very hungry, but could you make me a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and add plenty of chopped green onions?" Shen Menghan thought for a moment. She hadn't eaten anything at noon, and it seemed like it was getting dark outside. It had been almost a day, and if she didn't eat something soon, her stomach wouldn't be able to take it.
"Menghan, I'll go buy the porridge for you. Linglong, you stay with her." Xu Jingjing volunteered, hoping to use this opportunity to get closer to them.
When she arrived, she saw her talking to Li Zhicheng. Li Zhicheng was very approachable towards her. She was filled with jealousy. Why was Li Zhicheng unwilling to give her a kind look, but was so polite to Qin Fengjiao?
"Hmph, who knows if you'll put poison in the porridge, Xiaohan, I'll be right back."
Qin Fengjiao glared at Xu Jingjing, thinking that she would settle accounts with this wicked woman when she had time!
Xu Jingjing looked embarrassed. She had always been disliked, and no matter what she did, she could not get their forgiveness.
Shen Menghan didn't speak up for Xu Jingjing either. All Xu Jingjing wanted was her attention; Shen Menghan didn't have time to pay attention to her.
Seeing that Shen Menghan had woken up, Li Lei walked to his son's side, patted his shoulder and said, "Are you going home or staying here to take care of her? I'll go back first. If you need any help, just let me know. Xiaohan, you get some rest."
"Okay." Shen Menghan said, nodding. She had only choked on some water from the pool, and most of the water she had swallowed had been squeezed out. Apart from being a little weak, she was fine.
"Linglong, why don't you go home first? You can have Zhicheng make me some porridge. Otherwise, if I don't see you at home, I'm afraid I'll get worried." Shen Menghan thought for a moment and decided not to bother.
“It’s not a big deal if it’s just one hour more. When I get back, I’ll just tell Auntie I was working overtime and there was traffic. Auntie won’t know.” Qin Fengjiao was worried about her.
Shen Menghan couldn't do anything about it, but when she tried to find her phone, she realized it wasn't with her.
Li Zhicheng held her hand tightly, never letting go for a moment. Seeing that she was looking for something, he guessed that she was looking for her phone. He said with an annoyed look, "It fell to the bottom of the pond. I've already had someone fish it out and bring it over, but it's probably because of the traffic. It hasn't arrived yet at this hour."
"Hmm, I don't know if it will still work, let's not worry about it for now." Shen Menghan's tone was calm, and there was nothing different about it.
Seeing the two of them being all lovey-dovey, leaving those who cared about them standing there, Lu Fen coughed lightly, feeling quite unwilling. Shen Menghan just glanced in her direction and didn't say anything more.
"Mom, you go back first. I'll stay with Xiaohan. By the way, Xiaohan will stay at the hospital tonight. We'll only discharge her if the test results come back tomorrow and everything is fine."
When Li Zhicheng spoke to Lu Fen, his voice was relatively gentle, but his eyes remained fixed on her without letting go.
Seeing this, Lu Fen and Li Meili had no choice but to leave first.
Shen Menghan felt very uncomfortable being stared at. At this moment, only the two of them were left in the ward. She felt bored and wanted to close her eyes and doze off for a while.
"Xiaohan, do you really think you accidentally fell into the water?" Li Zhicheng felt that things were not that simple.
“I fell into the water by myself. Do you suspect that Grandma really pushed me? If she really wanted to hurt me, she would have no reason to do so, right? Otherwise, only a fool would choose to do it in such an obvious place.”
Shen Menghan dispelled his doubts. She felt there was nothing wrong with the matter. Besides, she had only fallen into the pool. If someone was a good swimmer, they wouldn't have been so unlucky. It was just that she couldn't swim.
"Okay, if you have any questions, tell me immediately. I won't let the murderer get away with it." Li Zhicheng was afraid she would be upset, so he tried to comfort her, but he couldn't understand why his grandmother couldn't possibly be the murderer.
Shen Gouhan nodded. She felt quite tired and decided to take a nap first.
Li Family
After Runqiong entered the house, she collapsed onto the sofa, staring into the darkness outside. She felt guilty; she had let Xiaohan down.
"Grandma, don't think about it anymore. Why don't you have some dinner, take a bath, and rest? You've been through so much all day, your body can't take it," said Aunt Wang with concern. She felt that the madam hadn't done anything wrong, and besides, Miss Shen hadn't blamed her. Ever since the incident, she had been constantly saying that it was her fault. She was standing not far from her at the time and didn't see her do anything.
“You don’t understand. Xiaohan is Zhicheng’s life. Didn’t you see how worried that child was about Xiaohan? Luckily, Xiaohan is alright. If something had happened to Xiaohan, what do you think he would have done? Even if I didn’t intend to push Xiaohan into the pool, I was standing closest to her, and I definitely knocked her down. How could I let myself get away with it like nothing happened?” Runqiong’s mind was filled with that terrible scene, and she was still terrified.
"Don't think about it anymore. We can talk about it tomorrow. If you really feel sorry for her, then just treat her better in the future and give her more things to make up for it, right?"
“Hmm, what you said makes some sense, let’s do it that way then.” Runqiong agreed.
However, Li Meili and Lu Fen, who had just arrived outside the door, overheard these words, and their jealousy intensified, especially Li Meili, who truly regretted that Shen Menghan hadn't died today.
"Aunt, tell me, how could she be so lucky?" Li Meili said in a low voice, her heart aching at the thought that Shen Menghan not only didn't die but also benefited from it. Wasn't this a case of overdoing it and giving her a chance to rise to power?
"What are you panicking about? Have you given her anything substantial yet? They're just talking!" Lu Fen is the most cunning one; anything she doesn't actually possess isn't truly hers.
Even if you get something, what's the use of just having it if you can't use it? Just like her and Li Lei, they've been married for over twenty years, but they've never had marital relations. People might laugh at them if they told others.
It's not that she's sick, and Li Lei isn't sick either; he just doesn't want to touch her. Back when they were young, she even discovered something utterly shameful!
