Chapter 518: Chapter 518

During this time, the old Patriarch had talked to this adopted daughter countless times.

But unexpectedly, it was still of no use.

Now, the old Patriarch was truly angry.

Jiang Qiu seemed to sense something and hurriedly spoke up,

Indeed, she hadn’t had the chance to say anything yet.

The old Patriarch squinted his eyes, and despite being over eighty years old, his gaze could sometimes be really intimidating, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"What were you just about to say?" he asked, clearly, word by word.

Jiang Qiu was still very intimidated by such a paternal figure:

"Dad, I really didn’t."

The old Patriarch looked at her several times before turning his gaze toward his daughter-in-law.

Jiang’s mother wasn’t foolish enough to really say anything in front of so many relatives, and she shook her head at the old Patriarch.

Seeing this, the old Patriarch finally resumed his usual peaceful demeanor.

"I’m tired, you all go out," he said.

He planned on sending everyone away.

Perhaps the old Patriarch was weary at heart.

Jiang’s mother hurriedly ushered the relatives out, with Jiang Qiu walking at the end, likely scared by the old Patriarch and so not playing any tricks.

In the hospital’s first-floor lobby, Jiang Ye bought two cups of instant coffee from the vending machine and walked over to Lu Jing, who was waiting not far away.

"Wife, have some coffee to perk up."

Feeling truly tired and drained, Lu Jing didn’t refuse and started drinking it directly. The source of thɪs content is novel※fire.net

Then, the man finally asked,

"Did anyone give you a hard time in the ward just now?"

Lu Jing shook her head:

After all, Jiang’s mother was there!

Whether Jiang Ye believed her or not, he gulped down some coffee and then spoke with a bit of seriousness and gravity:

"No matter what anyone says to you, don’t take it to heart. If something’s up, tell me right away, and I’ll give you all the answers!"

Were there hidden meanings in his words?

Lu Jing’s lips twitched:

"Who would say anything to me?" she countered.

"How would I know that? Wife, do you think your man is a god?"

Jiang Ye’s worries weren’t unfounded; the Jiang Family’s relationships were complex and fraught with issues. What was Jiang Qiu in comparison? Truly, she was a minor issue.

Lu Jing wasn’t silly, and a careful thought would make things clear.

"Got it, my IQ isn’t in debt."

As long as the two of them trusted each other, what difference would the meddling of outsiders make?

Jiang Ye finished his coffee and with perfect aim tossed the cup into the nearby trash bin:

"Wife, are you going back to the Lu Family later, or are you coming with me to the Jiang Family?"

If the old Patriarch was all right, they’d definitely head home.

How convenient could staying here be?

Lu Jing actually began to ponder:

In theory, since the certificate was already obtained, she should go back to the Jiang Family.

But Lu Jing didn’t want to move into the Jiang Family’s home so soon.

Jiang Ye could easily see through his woman’s hesitation and started to smile:

"Alright, I’ll take you back to the Lu Family, and I’ll come find you after I’m done with my work."

Hearing this, Lu Jing’s head jerked up, her eyes shining as she looked at him:

When had he ever lied to her?

Naturally, Lu Jing was very happy, her face beaming with a bright smile.

As they were talking, Jiang’s mother came down.

"You two are here? Hurry up and go upstairs, your grandfather is making a fuss about going back."

This old man, this old man, was really getting more childish with age.
