Chapter 428. Loss of Reputation (3)
The assistant had not finished when Yue Lingsi already heard the sound of things being thrown from inside the room followed by Deng Wenwen’s cold and odd tone.
“Let her come in!”
The assistant trembled and quickly bowed slightly to Yue Lingsi whose expression was strange. She stared at her with a complicated gaze before she said softly, “Mrs. Yue, best you go in quick. The company…”
When she saw the assistant hesitate, Yue Lingsi realized that the matter did not seem to be a simple one. Then, she picked up her pace and went into the room.
Inside the ward, Deng Wenwen was leaning against the headboard while her hand clutched a tablet as she flipped through it. The light above the headboard shone on her and Yue Lingsi could already fell the coldness from afar, especially after she heard her footsteps. In that instant, Deng Wenwen looked up and Yue Lingsi could see the anger and hostility that flashed in her eyes.
Stunned, Yue Lingsi quickly walked over to her bedside. “Mother? What’s wrong? Why don’t you look so good?” she asked in concern.
The moment she opened her mouth, Deng Wenwen’s pair of old eyes cut through her like cold, sharp blades. She stared coldly at Yue Lingsi and could see the shock in her eyes.
“Mother, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Yue Lingsi asked uneasily.
Deng Wenwen’s gaze became even colder as she handed the tablet to Yue Lingsi. Her sharp voice which was mixed with an icy, biting-cold wind entered her ear. Unable to bear the piercing cold, Yue Lingsi immediately tensed up and took the tablet nervously.
