Her gaze swept over Su Qiao's right leg, wrapped up like a zongzi. There was not a trace of sympathy in her eyes; instead, she sneered disdainfully:
"Besides, her leg has become like this now. Our Qin family is a prominent clan, with so many eyes watching us. How can we take a cripple as our daughter-in-law? Wouldn't that just make us the laughingstock of the Qin family?"
One of her legs was crippled, yet she still had the nerve to cling to her son. How shameless.
A cripple?
What did she mean?
Su Qiao was a little stunned. She moved her right leg, and aside from some pain, she didn't feel that it was impaired.
"Little Master, what happened? Am I crippled?"
444 had long been so furious that it was practically smoking.
What kind of Madam Qin was this? She really wasn't a good person. Her mouth was so nasty—had she eaten shit?
Hearing Su Qiao's question, it hurriedly shook its head.
No, no. I scanned it earlier. There's nothing wrong with your leg.
"Then why is everyone saying I'm crippled?"
Su Qiao raised her head and glanced at the Qin mother and son, somewhat puzzled.
Judging by their expressions, they were one hundred percent certain that she was going to be crippled.
Host, have you forgotten? Before you fell asleep in the car, you told me to make these people think your leg was broken, so I hacked into the hospital's system and altered your medical records.
Su Qiao remembered, and her mood suddenly improved considerably.
The corner of her lips curled almost imperceptibly. "Nicely done."
That way, she would have time to make some preparations.
It was rare for it to be praised, and this was the first time. 444 happily lifted its chin.
Hmph, Little Master was very useful, so she had to treat it better from now on and stop snapping at it all the time.
Seeing its smug expression, Su Qiao burst out laughing. "All right, I'll treat you better from now on."
"That sounds more like it." 444 was satisfied.
Its host was still pretty good to it.
Su Qiao looked at her right ankle, which was in a cast and wrapped up like a giant pig's trotter, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Which quack doctor had done this?
Wrapped like this, anyone who didn't know better would really think her leg was broken.
But...
"Can I kill this shrill, nagging woman?"
She was simply too noisy.
She was so high and mighty, as if her son were really something extraordinary.
He was merely a hypocritical, weak man who couldn't withstand even one punch from her. Did she think Su Qiao coveted him?
Give her a break.
No. It was absolutely forbidden to commit violence in front of the public.
444 was troubled. For the Nth time, it shook its head in firm refusal.
Su Qiao had only asked casually anyway. "Oh, so that means I can do it when no one's around?"
...Could you please stop being so ruthless? We were still babies here.
444 was exhausted.
"Tell me, in this capital, what kind of woman is there? Why did you have to choose one from such a small household?"
"She has such a provincial air. I even think she'd be too embarrassing to take to a banquet."
Mother Qin was still recklessly criticizing her, completely unaware that she had already made a round trip to the brink of death.
444 was getting anxious on her behalf.
What else could it be for? Of course it was for the shares in the host's hands!
A lot had happened today, and Qin Yu was getting impatient as well. "Mom, can you stop talking?"
He had heard these words so often that his ears were practically callused.
Mother Qin pointed at Su Qiao, unwilling to let the matter go. "Am I wrong?"
"Look at her. She has neither family background nor ability, and now she's even lost the use of one leg."
"She still has the nerve to cling to my son, without the slightest self-awareness. If she knows what's good for her, she'll leave on her own."
Madam Qin looked at Su Qiao as if she were looking at a piece of trash.
Su Qiao's hands began to itch again.
"Mom, what exactly are you talking about?"
What Qin Yu hated most right now was the subject of forcing Su Qiao to leave.
He didn't know why, but ever since Su Qiao had gotten into the car accident today, he had developed an ominous feeling.
Knowing that he was getting impatient, Mother Qin sighed inwardly and compromised:
"All right, all right. I know you like her. I won't interfere with anything else, but the Qin family's legitimate daughter-in-law absolutely cannot be a cripple."
"As for her, you can keep her on the side or spoil her in private, whatever you want."
Her son liked Su Qiao. No matter how much she tried to stop him as his mother, it would be useless.
The son she might end up estranged from her because of it.
Mother Qin looked sharply at Su Qiao, wearing an expression of charity.
"Su Qiao, my son likes you, so as his mother, I can only agree to it. But you must give up the position of the Qin family's legitimate daughter-in-law."
"If you truly love A Yu, you should think more about him. Don't let people laugh at him for marrying a crippled wife."
