"Thank goodness you didn't take her today, A Yu. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened by now? Just thinking about it makes my heart race. I couldn't even eat."
Qin Yu looked helplessly at his suddenly appearing mother. "Mom..."
Su Qiao glanced at him. That look of being caught between two sides was truly disgusting.
Every time his mother made things difficult for her in the past, he had acted like this.
Only after her other self lowered her head sadly amid a barrage of scolding would he truly step forward to protect her and argue with his parents.
After it happened so many times, Su Qiao gradually came to regard him as her only support, her only salvation. Her infatuation with him grew even deeper.
In Su Qiao's heart, he had become the only person in this world—aside from her deceased parents—who treated her well.
Hah, she really had some tricks.
Su Qiao remained expressionless as she half-lowered her eyes. "Madam Qin, are you saying that the reason survivors of every car accident remain alive is because their lives are simply too tough?"
She was still alive and well precisely because she was skilled.
Mother Qin had not expected her to learn how to talk back. She was so furious that she nearly vomited blood.
Completely disregarding the fact that they were in a hospital, she raised her voice so loudly that even people outside in the corridor could hear her.
"Qin Yu, look at her! Look at that attitude! Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd done something to her."
"I told you long ago that your horoscopes clash, A Yu. But you refused to believe me and even protected her like a treasure every day."
Su Qiao raised her head and asked with complete seriousness, "Are you jealous?"
"What?" Madam Qin failed to follow her train of thought.
Su Qiao blinked, her expression utterly certain.
"I understand now. You're jealous that I have a man who's so devoted to me and protects me so much."
That was why she acted like a fighting hen every day, strutting around and squawking nonstop.
"You... You..."
Madam Qin was stunned by her words.
She pointed at Su Qiao, then at herself, nearly too furious to speak.
"I'm the respectable lady of the Qin family, the one who truly runs the household! Would I be jealous of a little orphan girl with no parents?"
Compared with Madam Qin's hysterics, Su Qiao remained extremely calm.
"Then why do you always look like a jealous wife?"
After a pause, she reminded her in a very good-natured tone, "You're related to him by blood. According to the law and basic human morality, you have no chance of being together."
She shouldn't think that just because Su Qiao had been locked up all these years, had barely met anyone, and had never studied, she didn't understand this.
Host, you're amazing! 444 gave her a thumbs-up.
It truly had not expected this. Its host seemed a little slow and somewhat blunt, but who would have thought she was so sharp-tongued?
Just a few sentences had nearly enraged Madam Qin to the point of vomiting blood.
Su Qiao blinked.
I'm only telling the truth. She's obviously jealous, and mothers and sons can't be together.
Madam Qin was genuinely too furious to speak this time. Her entire body trembled. "You... You...?"
Qin Yu cast a sidelong glance at Su Qiao, feeling somewhat uneasy.
In the past, at times like this, she would look at him sorrowfully and hopefully, waiting for him to defend her. She had never directly gone head-to-head with his mother.
What's going on today?
Could it be because she just went through a car accident?
Qin Yu thought it over from every angle. In the end, he decided that she had probably been frightened by the accident.
"Mom, don't blame Qiaoqiao. She just went through a car accident and was frightened. She's not in a very good mood."
"Qin Yu, are you still my son or not?"
Mother Qin was already furious enough to see red.
Now that she saw her own son defending that woman again, her voice grew so loud that it nearly lifted the ceiling.
Qin Yu's eyes held a pleading look. "Mom!"
Madam Qin flung her handbag onto the sofa to one side and dropped into the seat angrily.
"I don't care. This time, you must break up with her. Otherwise, don't call me Mom again."
