Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

City A, First People's Hospital.

Mr. Lu listened to his assistant's work report outside the ward.

Lu Jinghe lay in the hospital bed, still unconscious from the effects of anesthesia. His mother held his hand, crying incessantly, shouting, "My poor son, how did you become like this on the first day of school? Who did this to you?!"

Jiang Qiao watched from the side, her expression somber.

Honestly, Lu's mother looks like a shrew, lacking any semblance of refinement. But then again, without the Jiang family's support over the years, the Lu family would have fallen into decline long ago.

For the past two years, the Jiang family has been helping to cover the losses of the Lu Group.

Jiang's father didn't want the Lu family to be too lowly when his daughter married into the family, so he gave all the cooperation, big and small, to the Lu family and made many concessions. Unexpectedly, this made the Lu family too greedy and eventually caused the Jiang family to be ruined.

When Mr. Lu came in and saw Jiang Qiao, he was furious at the sight of Mrs. Lu wailing and yelling. He scolded her, "Look at yourself! Stop crying! You'll make a fool of yourself and embarrass people."

Mrs. Lu was already upset, and when Mr. Lu scolded her, her tone wasn't much better: "Our son still hasn't woken up. The doctor said it's a concussion. You, as the father, aren't you worried about me, as the mother? Can't I be worried too?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We only have this one son. How could I not be worried?"

Lu's mother was probably really frightened by her son today, and she said some things without thinking: "Don't talk nonsense. One son? I think those little vixens outside have bewitched you. Don't think I don't know that you brought back an illegitimate child a while ago and have been hiding him. Let me tell you, as long as I, Hu Yanfang, am here, everything in Lu's belongs to Jinghe. Don't even think about letting anyone else get a share."

Jiang Qiao: [Wuhu~ Exciting!]

System: [Stimulation.]

With outsiders still present, Mr. Lu didn't expect Mrs. Lu to be so fierce. He went up and slapped her: "Are you out of your mind? You're always so suspicious. I think you should pack up and go back to your parents' house!"

"Snapped"

With a crisp sound, it was clear how much force Lu's father had used; Hu Yanfang's left cheek instantly swelled up.

"Ah, you dare hit me? And you want me to go back to my parents' home? What, do you want me and Jinghe to make room for that little bitch? I'll scratch you to death." With that, Hu Yanfang reached out her hand towards Lu Changhai's face.

Lu Changhai shoved Hu Yanfang away abruptly, "Believe it or not, I'll divorce you?"

Hu Yanfang fell to the ground, the word "divorce" seemed to pierce her ears, and she began to wail loudly.

Jiang Qiao: [Wangcai, where is Liang Wan?]

System: [...Currently riding the elevator, almost there.]

Jiang Qiao had seen enough and felt it was time to put on an act. She frowned slightly and sobbed softly, "Waaah, Uncle and Aunt, it was my fault that Brother Jinghe fell down the stairs today. I pushed him by accident. Waaah, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

She deliberately spoke in a vague and ambiguous way to provoke Lu's mother into getting angry.

Upon hearing Jiang Qiao's words, Lu's mother flew into a rage. If Jing He hadn't been in trouble today, she wouldn't have been so humiliated. Thinking this, she stood up, pointed at Jiang Qiao's nose, and cursed, "It's all your fault, you little slut! You have such a seductive face, and you've already started to harm Jing He before you've even married into my family."

Hu Yanfang had long disliked Jiang Qiao. Since childhood, she had thought that Jiang Qiao was too beautiful and many boys admired her. She felt that this kind of woman was not suitable to marry and would bring shame to the family. If it weren't for the Jiang family's power, she would have made Lu Jinghe break off the engagement long ago.

Father Lu doesn't dare offend the Jiang family yet. Even if he has grievances against Jiang Qiao, he can't show it. He still needs Jiang Qiao to extract money from the Jiang family in the future: "What nonsense are you talking about again?"

After symbolically finishing speaking to Hu Yanfang, he apologized to Jiang Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, don't take your aunt's words to heart. She was provoked by Jinghe's appearance today."

Lu Changhai casually offered a word of comfort, knowing that Jiang Qiao was loyal to the Lu family and genuinely liked Lu Jinghe, and wouldn't go home and say anything inappropriate to her parents.

Jiang Qiao felt disgusted by Lu's parents' words. "If you don't like me, just break off the engagement! You're just after wealth and status, acting like a jerk!" But she couldn't show it. She could only keep crying and saying it was her fault.

She knew that Liang Wan was already standing at the door when Lu's mother was scolding her. Jiang Qiao wanted to break off the engagement, and she was being pointed at and scolded by Lu's family. Liang Wan would definitely reconsider the engagement if she found out.

Seeing that Liang Wan didn't come in directly, Jiang Qiao guessed that she wanted to see what kind of people were behind the Lu family.

At this moment, Liang Wan, who was standing outside the door, had heard what Lu Changhai and Hu Yanfang had said. She was so angry that she was trembling all over. So this was how the Lu family treated Qiao Qiao when they were not around. She kicked the door open.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly kicked open.

Lu Changhai and Hu Yanfang were both startled and looked sharply towards the door. They found Liang Wan, whose face turned pale instantly. Hu Yanfang quickly withdrew her hand that was pointing at Jiang Qiao.

Seeing Liang Wan's gloomy expression, Lu Changhai knew that she had overheard their conversation and quickly explained, "Our in-laws are here. My wife was just being too emotional and startled Qiao Qiao. Please don't take it to heart."

Hu Yanfang became cautious at this moment, and her previous arrogance vanished. She stood in the corner without saying a word. She knew how much the Jiang family valued Jiang Qiao, and she wouldn't have dared to say anything otherwise. But she was so angry today that she spoke her mind.

Jiang Qiao and Lu Jinghe's engagement was arranged by the elders of their families. The Lu family knew that if it weren't for this reason, the Jiang family would never have arranged Jiang Qiao's marriage with their small family.

Over the years, the Jiang family's support has helped the Lu family rise in status, and Jiang Qiao's fondness for Lu Jinghe has gradually led the Lu family members to believe that they can step on the Jiang family.

Liang Wan had always looked down on the Lu family, and now she was even more dissatisfied, as her daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood, was being treated so badly here.

"Hu Yanfang, so in your eyes my Qiaoqiao is so worthless? In that case, let's call off the engagement. We were never a good match anyway, and our Jiang family is not worthy of her. Also, I, Liang Wan, will remember what you said today. Qiaoqiao, let's go." After saying that, she pulled Jiang Qiao away.

[Ding-dong~ System reminder: The hidden mission is 25% complete. We hope you will continue your efforts.]

Lu Changhai could understand what Liang Wan meant by "marrying someone of equal social standing" and his face darkened. But when he heard that the engagement was to be called off, he panicked. He couldn't let this marriage fall through.

"Mother-in-law, wait! It's all a misunderstanding today. We really like Qiaoqiao. You can't say you want to call off the engagement!"

Seeing Liang Wan's unwavering steps as she left, Lu Changhai grabbed Hu Yanfang, who was still lost in thought, and said, "You should apologize to your mother-in-law right now. We shouldn't have let you come today."
