Chapter 296 - 149: Ignored
Sang Wan deliberately pretended not to hear, and without sitting on a chair, she directly sat on the edge of the bed where Gu Fangzi had been sitting earlier. She smiled and asked Shi Lian, "Your elder brother asked me not to forget to come and see you. How are you feeling, better? Is the medicine working? Has the wound become inflamed? Are you sleeping well at night? Is it still in pain?"
Seeing that she was ignoring herself, Shi Yumei was so angry that she stiffened and glared at Sang Wan, wanting to say something but unable to speak out. After all, she couldn’t just repeat what she had said earlier, insisting that Sang Wan hear it.
Gu Fangzi stood by submissively, with a timid and aloof expression, secretly hoping that a fight would break out between Shi Yumei and Sang Wan.
Shi Lian’s eyelids twitched slightly in surprise as well, but of course, she wouldn’t undermine Sang Wan. If Sang Wan pretended not to hear, she would go along with it, and with a smile, she answered Sang Wan’s questions one by one, expressing her gratitude toward her elder brother and sister-in-law in the process.
"If the third sister is fine, then I am relieved! That way, I can also report back to mother and your elder brother!" After Sang Wan finished her inquiries, she let out a light sigh of relief. Only then did she snap back to her senses and hurriedly gave Shi Yumei an apologetic smile: "What did elder sister say just now? I’m so sorry, I didn’t quite catch it..."
"Hmph!" Shi Yumei sneered, "Whether you heard it clearly or not, you know very well in your heart!"
Upon hearing this, Sang Wan simply smiled, saying nothing.
Shi Yumei felt even more frustrated and sarcastically said, "After all, you are the family head’s wife, your manner is different! If you didn’t hear it, then you didn’t. My words are light and insignificant; how could Grandma Shi take them to heart!"
Sang Wan smiled and said, "I have always listened to elder sister. You are wrongly accusing me. Elder sister always teaches Miss Wan to serve her husband attentively, to regard her husband as heaven. My husband had quite a bit to instruct today, and Miss Wan is afraid of missing or mixing up anything that would disappoint my husband. That’s why I came here to talk to the third sister right away! Elder sister came even earlier than I did, which shows you are also concerned about the third sister. I am just appreciating elder sister’s sentiments! Who knew that I couldn’t focus on two things at once and ended up not hearing elder sister clearly! We are all looking out for the third sister’s wellbeing, surely elder sister would not blame me, right?"
