Chapter 296 - 285: Brawling at Midnight
Upon reaching the hospital, Li Xianglu encountered Lu Anna and Qin Zhen who had already arrived in the hallway. A twitch passed through Lu Anna’s eyes at the sight of Li Jianqing, then she shook her head in horror.
Li Xianglu helplessly shook her head before asking, "How is everything?"
Lu Anna took a furtive glance at Li Jianqing, whose face was stormy, and whispered, "She was less than a month pregnant. This morning, for some reason, she got into an argument with that man surnamed Wang, and then she was pushed down."
Li Xianglu frowned. How could anyone resort to violence? After all, Ai Luo was his wife, wasn’t she? Even if he was angry, he shouldn’t lay a hand on her. Besides, what could they possibly argue about? They had only been married for a month; how could there be any conflict?
When they arrived at the ward door, Li Jianqing leaned against the wall, deciding not to go in and suggesting Li Xianglu go and take a look instead.
This was a double room; the other occupants were a happy family group chatting around a woman who had just given birth. On this end of the door, however, it was eerily quiet - obviously Ai Luo’s side. Only Ai Luo’s mother was there, holding Ai Luo’s hand and weeping quietly.
Lu Anna stepped forward with two pounds of brown sugar and a bag of Xiao Mi, placing them down she said, "Aunt Ai, this is from my mother. My sister-in-law is about to give birth soon, she visited and can’t make it here, so please bear with us."
Sha Xinyu lifted her head, her eyes rimmed red, but when she saw the two people, anger flared in her eyes, and she stood up, ready to speak.
Ai Luo spoke first, "Mom, you go back first. The miscarriage is my own affair. Even if I was beaten to death, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t cause a fuss here, or don’t bother visiting me at all."
Sha Xinyu, who had been about to speak, closed her mouth abruptly. Her expression did not show much surprise, indicating that such talk from Ai Luo did not faze her anymore. Nonetheless, inside she felt some resentment towards both Li Xianglu and Li Jianqing. People like Sha Xinyu always behaved this way, never admitting their own faults, instead blaming others.
