Chapter 43: Can't you see any of this? Or are you pretending to be blind?

Ning Tang smiled sheepishly.

"Since there was nothing urgent, I thought I'd check on Grandma's condition first."

"Big brother, you've had a long night, go back and rest. I'll take care of Grandma."

Actually, a large part of the reason was that she couldn't face Xu Qiaofeng directly.

Even though they're already together, last night was just too crazy.

Xu Qiaolan was unaware of what had happened between the two. He rubbed his aching temples and nodded gently at Ning Tang.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Call me anytime if you need anything, I'm in the next room."

Ning Tang responded and went into the house.

Grandma Xu was still asleep. I reached out and touched her forehead. Her temperature was normal, and I felt relieved.

For two consecutive days.

The atmosphere at home wasn't very good.

Despite Ning Tang's daily care with herbal decoctions and acupuncture, Grandma Xu remained in a deep sleep, rarely waking up throughout the day.

This can't go on; the situation is getting worse and worse.

That day.

Ning Tang is on leave.

Just as I came out of Grandma Xu's house and was about to wash my hands and eat, Wenya, who was sitting at the dining table, suddenly spoke up.

She first stared at Ning Tang, looking her up and down as if she were inspecting merchandise.

My eyes feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Tang frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over her.

"It's been several days, and Grandma's condition still hasn't improved. Ning Tang, didn't you say you know medicine? Are your herbal medicines and acupuncture actually working?"

Wenya's voice was loud and full of sarcasm.

Everyone heard it.

Seeing that the others looked unhappy, he thought he had hit the nail on the head and continued to chatter on.

It seemed they wanted Xu Qiaofeng, who was on the phone on the second floor, to hear them.

"I think you're just putting on an act!"

"What are their true intentions in preventing Grandma from going to the hospital and forcing her to rest at home?"

Ning Tang sneered inwardly.

She guessed that Wenya was deliberately targeting her.

It wasn't that I was genuinely worried about my grandmother.

Ning Tang remained unaffected and coldly said, "Grandpa said that Grandma is not in a good state right now, so going to the hospital won't be of much use. It's better for her to take her medicine at home."

"I remember the Lu family next door and my second sister-in-law's family are relatives, so they should also be related to the Xu family. Why haven't they come to visit us for so many days?"

No one has forgotten that Lu Jiaxiang and his wife were doctors.

Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, at least out of courtesy and social obligation, I have to come and see it.

Either they didn't want to come, or... Wenya simply didn't take it to heart.

Wenya's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

She's really good with words.

She glared at Ning Tang, "The Lu family is busy. They are all chief physicians at the hospital. How can they have time to visit each other every day?"

"But you! If you can cure Grandma, I'll write the word 'Wenya' backwards! I'll rip my head off and let you kick it around like a ball!"

"If it can't be cured, stop shirking your responsibilities and take Grandma to the hospital immediately!"

The atmosphere inside the room froze instantly.

Xu Qiaoyan discovered that Wenya had become a different person since Ning Tang arrived, and was targeting her at every turn.

Even when he was sleeping at night, he was like he was possessed, constantly saying bad things, and later he even started talking about Lu Niannian.

How could he, as the second brother, not know that the third brother and Lu Niannian had some kind of relationship?

Xu Qiaoyan glared at Wenya, then gave Ning Tang an apologetic look.

Everyone was waiting for Ning Tang to refute, but she lowered her eyes and didn't respond to Wen Ya's words.

Seeing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

They've tried Western medicine, but the results have been mediocre. If even she can't guarantee it, is it really hopeless and there's no other way?

Wenya was initially a little hesitant when she made those harsh remarks.

But seeing Ning Tang remain silent, a mischievous smile immediately appeared on his lips, as if he were watching a good show.

See? See? It's all just for show.

The old lady is blind and chose such an unworthy person to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family.

Now that she's risking her own life, she's reaping what she sowed.

In fact, Ning Tang was making plans in her mind.

In the past few days, her relationship with Xu Qiaofeng has gradually warmed up, and their physical contact has also increased.

Logically speaking, there should be enough yang energy.

Why hasn't that woman in the space responded for so long...?

No, she has to find a chance to go in and take a look.

After the meal, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and even Aunt Zhang lost her appetite.

When Xu Qiaofeng finished his call and came downstairs, he quickly went over and sat down next to Ning Tang, carrying a pillow in his hand, which he skillfully placed behind his waist.

This prompted Su Ying to look over instinctively.

Envy flashed in his eyes.

She glanced at Xu Qiaolan sitting next to her, who was only focused on eating, and kicked her under the table in anger.

"Brother, I just asked the team for leave. I'll stay home with my grandma for the next few days."

"You and your second brother have things to do, so go ahead without worry."

Xu Qiaolan and Xu Qiaoyan both had very important meetings to attend, which had already been postponed for a few days. It would be inappropriate to postpone them any longer.

"Okay, then I'll leave the family to you."

"I'll rush back as soon as the meeting is over. If there's anything going on with Grandma, call me immediately."

Xu Qiaoyan nodded in agreement.

She nudged Wenya next to her again.

His tone was somewhat stern: "Stop causing trouble at home, help me take care of Grandma, and stop causing trouble for your younger siblings."

"If I find out you're causing trouble again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Wenya looked displeased after being scolded, especially when she thought about Ning Tang secretly laughing at her appearance.

Not wanting to lose, he couldn't help but say sarcastically:

What's the point of telling me this?

"Why don't you go and talk to Ning Tang? All she does is pretend to be serious with a needle all day long. When has she ever stayed up all night?"

During the day, there are many trivial matters to deal with at the neighborhood office, and at night, I still have to stay up all night to watch over the old man.

In just a few days, many fine lines appeared under her eyes.

Looking at Ning Tang again, she was still radiant and beautiful.

Why doesn't she have to keep watch at night? Is it just because she's pregnant?

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at Xu Qiaofeng.

It was only then that Wenya remembered that the third brother was very protective of his own, and she only dared to find fault with Ning Tang when the third brother was not around.

Now that he's heard it with his own ears, he'll probably be furious.

Wenya raised her head in fear.

As expected.

Xu Qiaofeng's eyes had lost all warmth, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"What do you mean by that, Second Sister-in-law?"

"Did you bully Tangtang while I was away?"

Wenya was so frightened that she quickly shook her head: "No, no... Third brother, you've misunderstood."

"Misunderstand?"

Xu Qiaofeng sneered, not wanting to give Wenya a way out.

"So, Second Sister-in-law deliberately said those things to me at the dinner table?"

"I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean anything by it..."

"Just saying?" Xu Qiaofeng's icy gaze was oppressive. "Saying Tangtang is putting on an act?"

"Why don't you just casually mention that Tangtang has to brew medicine and take Grandma's pulse every night after get off work? And she has to get up early to bathe Grandma and give her acupuncture?"

"Can't you see any of this? Or are you pretending not to see it?"
