2823 Chapter 2823
The old madam looked at her calmly. “If you have anything to say, say it. You don’t have to kneel to me. I can’t afford it.”
Then, she said to Aunt Fang, “Help her up. She’s already old. She shouldn’t torture herself anymore.”
This time, Madam Xiao’s kneeling didn’t soften the old madam’s heart. She didn’t want her grandson to suffer any more grievances.
“Shuman, I’m not blaming you. You can walk the path you chose. Our Xia family will let you go. However, I have to tell you that someone wants to make a fool of our Xia family, and I can’t allow her to be impudent.”
Madam Li knew that she was talking about her and wanted to interrupt. However, she heard the old madam say calmly, “What kind of friends have you made? What path you take is your own business. It has nothing to do with our Xia family. Don’t come back in the future, and don’t bring people who have nothing to do with our Xia family back either.
“The ambulance should be outside. You should go to the hospital to get yourself checked. After all, you’re Little Six’s mother. Although you’re not fated with Little Six, you at least gave birth to a child for our Xia family. When we meet on the streets, we can just smile and nod.”
Xia Jinyuan had already brought in the doctor and nurse. Aunt Fang helped Madam Xiao up so that the doctor wouldn’t see her kneeling.
Throughout the entire process, no one spoke to Madam Li. They treated her like air.
Madam Xiao ignored her and let the doctor do a simple check-up on her. The doctor asked her if there was anything wrong with her body and quickly let her take in oxygen.
“The patient has a history of heart palpitations. Her breathing is rapid and short. We can’t rule out the possibility that she has heart problems. She needs to be sent to the hospital for a detailed check-up. Which family member is accompanying her?”
One needed to be accompanied by a family member if one wanted to go to a hospital. Madam Li sneered when she heard this. “She doesn’t have a family member. Her son doesn’t acknowledge her. When she goes home, she still has to…”
“Little Six, follow her,” the old madam instructed calmly. As for what Madam Li said, she just pretended that this person didn’t exist. This woman was already in her 60s. She should save some face for herself. She shouldn’t think that she could dominate just because she was doing well.
In front of her, she really didn’t have the right.
Madam Li’s face turned green. The old madam was pretending to be a good person now!
Madam Xiao was elated when she heard that her son would accompany her. Then, she looked sad. “No need. I’ll get the nanny to come over. It’s not a big problem.”
“I’ll go with you.” Madam Li didn’t dare to stay in the Xia family’s residence alone. She had a hard time dealing with the old madam alone. If Old Master Xia came out as well, she would be whipped.
She stood up immediately, afraid that the old madam would stop her. She took a few steps over and grabbed Madam Xiao’s hand tightly. She said in a low voice, “I’ll accompany you. I’m worried about letting him accompany you!”
“Old Madam…”
Madam Xiao understood the meaning in her friend’s eyes and begged the old madam to be magnanimous.
The air was a little quiet, and the medical staff stood there without daring to move for a moment. The old madam, who had a kind expression on her face like an old lady in the neighborhood, walked over and stood in front of her ex-daughter-in-law. Aunt Fang held her. “Shuman, I remember that you’re already 57 or 58 years old, right? You should know better now. Remember what I said today and don’t cling to your expectations anymore. You can’t be so willful in the future.
“You don’t have the right to be wilful anymore, Shuman. Since you chose to live the life you wanted, you can continue living like that. Do you still remember what I asked you back then?”
