Her gaze swept over Su Qiao's right leg, which was wrapped up like a zongzi. Instead of sympathy, she spoke with harsh disdain:
"Besides, her leg is like this now. Our Qin Family is a prominent family; so many eyes are watching us. How can we take a cripple as a daughter-in-law? Won't that just make people laugh at our Qin Family?"
One leg is already crippled, and she still has the nerve to cling to her son. How shameless.
A cripple?
What does she mean?
Su Qiao was a little stunned. She moved her right leg—aside from a bit of pain, she didn't feel any inflexibility.
"Little Four, what's going on? Am I crippled?"
444 was already fuming.
This Madam Qin, she's really not a good person. Her mouth is so nasty, did she eat sh*t or something?
Hearing Su Qiao's question, it quickly shook its head.
[No, no, I scanned you before. There's nothing wrong with your leg.]
"Then why are they all saying I'm crippled?"
Su Qiao looked up at the Qin family mother and son, a little confused.
Judging by their expressions, they were 100% certain she was going to be crippled.
[Host, did you forget? 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 system and changed your medical records.]
Su Qiao remembered, and her mood suddenly brightened considerably.
The corners of her mouth curled up almost imperceptibly: "Well done."
This way, she would have time to make some preparations.
It was rare to be praised, and this was the first time it had been praised. 444 proudly lifted its chin.
[Hmph, I'm very useful, you know. So you should be nicer to me in the future, don't always be so fierce with me.]
Seeing its arrogant expression, Su Qiao couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I'll be good to you from now on."
[That's more like it.]
444 was satisfied.
Its Host is still pretty good to it.
Su Qiao looked at her right ankle, which was in a cast and wrapped up like a big pig's trotter, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Which quack doctor did this?
Wrapped like this, someone who didn't know would really think her leg was broken.
However…
"Can I kill this screeching woman?"
She was just too noisy.
So arrogant, acting as if her son was really something special.
He's just a hypocritical man, so weak he couldn't withstand one of her punches. Why would she even care for him?
Don't be ridiculous.
[No, you absolutely cannot commit murder in public.]
444 had a bit of a headache, shaking its head firmly for the Nth time in refusal.
Su Qiao was actually just asking casually: "Oh, so that means it's okay as long as it's private?"
[...]
Can we not be so brutal? I'm still a baby.
444 felt so tired.
"Tell me, in this capital city, what kind of women aren't there? Why do you insist on one from such a small, humble family?"
"She has such a petty air about her, I'd be embarrassed to even bring her to a banquet."
Madam Qin was still oblivious, ranting on, completely unaware that she had just swum back from the brink of death.
444 even felt anxious for her.
[What else could it be for? Of course, it's for the shares in the Host's hand!]
A lot had happened today, and Qin Yu was also getting impatient: "Mom, can you please stop talking?"
He had heard these words so many times his ears were practically calloused.
Madam Qin pointed at Su Qiao somewhat relentlessly: "Am I wrong?"
"Look at her—no family background, no ability, and now she's even lost a leg."
"She still has the nerve to cling to my son, with no self-awareness whatsoever. If she's smart, she'll leave on her own."
Madam Qin looked at Su Qiao as if she were looking at trash.
Su Qiao's hands felt itchy again.
"Mom, what are you even talking about?"
The last thing Qin Yu wanted to discuss right now was Su Qiao leaving.
He didn't know why, but ever since Su Qiao's car accident today, he'd had a bad feeling.
Knowing his impatience, Madam Qin sighed inwardly and conceded:
"Alright, alright, I know you like her, and I won't interfere with anything else, but the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Qin Family absolutely cannot be a cripple."
"As for her, whether you keep her privately or spoil her, that's up to you."
Her son liked her, and as his mother, further obstruction would be useless.
Perhaps in the end, her son would even resent her.
Madam Qin's gaze sharpened as she looked at Su Qiao, her expression one of condescension:
"Su Qiao, my son likes you, and as his mother, I can only agree, 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 and not let people mock him for marrying a crippled wife."
