Chapter 420: Don’t Meet Until It’s Dark
Just as Tong Yao arrived in the courtyard, she heard someone calling her from upstairs. Looking up, she saw it was Wang Xia standing there. She called out to Tong Yao.
"Yaoyao, wait for me!"
With that, she turned around and ran downstairs. Not long after, she was in front of Tong Yao, panting as she spoke: "Yaoyao, it’s almost New Year, where are you going with all these things you’re carrying?"
"I’m going to stay at my mom’s house for a few days." Tong Yao had a good impression of Wang Xia, and since Wang Xia had helped her in the past, she engaged in small talk with her despite feeling a bit down.
"Is it because of your mother-in-law? I heard your mother-in-law drank rat poison this morning and had to be rushed to our hospital." Wang Xia was straightforward, and could never hold back. She detested circumlocution.
This was an era where people loved rumours, so when the news reached Wang Xia, Tong Yao was not surprised. She smiled and confirmed candidly, "Yes, it does have to do with her. She doesn’t like me and wants me to divorce Ahchen."
It would be better if she was the one to talk about it than other people.
Now that she had left, Lin Fengying can do as she pleased!
Upon hearing this, Wang Xia seemed more worked up than Tong Yao was, "When I first met your mother-in-law, I felt she was not a good person. Others blame you, but I don’t think so. I could tell from the day she brought the baby home that your mother-in-law is a troublemaker."
Tong Yao chuckled at this comment, "If my mother-in-law hears that, she would likely jump off the hospital roof."
