Chapter 120: She Escaped
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The baby who was undergoing an injection was so startled that he burst into tears. The baby’s arm moved a little and almost caused the needle to fall out.
The baby’s mother was a young woman of only 22. Her face turned pale and she looked at the other woman with her eyes spitting fire.
“You must be out of your mind.” She scolded the woman. Her child was a timid baby and was afraid of strangers. It was such a rare occasion for him to be taking his shots calmly but now, he had burst into tears all because of that rude woman.
The other mothers who were still in the queue started to complain angrily.
“Do you think you’re above us all just because you have money? Are the rich able to cut the queue just like that?”
“Everyone else is queueing patiently, so why can’t you do the same?”
“Is your family’s child the only precious child here?”
…
The mothers in the queue all fiercely admonished the woman who cut the queue. They had all been queueing for one to two hours, so they would not take this lying down.
The female doctor frowned. She finished administering the injection to the baby, then turned to look at the woman. She pa.s.sed the money back to that woman and expressed her displeasure by saying, “I’m sorry, Madam. Please get in line.”
The woman grew even more anxious and ignored all the anger that was directed at her.
“Doctor, why can’t you administer the injection to my grandson first? He has been crying for more than ten minutes.” The woman showed no signs of leaving.
The doctor called for the next person in line and could not be bothered to attend to that woman’s request.
There were so many crying babies here so how could she administer injections in the order of who cried first.
There was nothing else she could do, so that woman walked back dejectedly.
He Xiyan’s heart was racing as she stood in the queue.
Was that Li Qin? She frowned.
She would be able to recognize this woman anywhere but she did not expect to run into Li Qin here.
No, she did not see her and most importantly, she did not want Li Qin to take note of Yuan Yuan.
“Xiaoyu, I’ve got something urgent to attend to. Please bring the child over for his injection and call me when he has finished.” She immediately escaped after handing Yuan Yuan to Xiao Yu.
Li Qin a.s.sumed that she would be able to gain priority access if she splashed the cash, just as she had always done and also a.s.sumed that this privilege would extend to injections as well, so she had not even taken a number after she arrived a while ago. After she took her number, she was shocked to find that there were more than 100 people ahead of her and she was the last in the queue.
Their maid Wu Xiaomin was carrying Xiao Ye and he was crying so hard that his entire face was flushed red. Li Qin could only feed him a bottle of milk to stop him from crying. She guessed that they would still have to wait more than an hour before it was their turn.
She looked very annoyed as she stood in the queue. Her grandchild was very noisy and was a crybaby, unlike Yixuan when he was young who had been a well-behaved child. He slept quietly when he wasn’t eating and rarely ever cried except for when he was sick.
Why couldn’t her precious grandchild be more like her son? His character was more like Xia Yuwei who was always crying and creating a fuss. Xia Yuwei’s antics were getting on her nerves.
Li Qin sighed and her gaze moved from her grandson to the others in the queue. She also spotted an extremely young woman in the queue in front of her, so young that she looked more like a girl.
The girl was pus.h.i.+ng a small pram and the child inside it was playing with a furry little monkey. He did not cry nor create a fuss and was better behaved compared to her grandson.
Perhaps because she longed for a grandson like that child, Li Qin bent down awkwardly to look at that child.
The moment she saw that child, she was stunned and her eyes widened.
Uh…. Whose child was this and why did he look so familiar? He looked extremely like…
Qin Xiaoyu quickly nudged Li Qin when she saw Li Qin staring at Yuan Yuan.
“What’s wrong?” She looked at that unfamiliar woman and was confused as to why that woman was staring at Yuan Yuan.
