Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 480 I Told You to Beg My Wife on Your Knees (1)

When Xiao Shulan found the ward where Xiao Shuju was staying, she did not find Ou Chunhua in the room.

After all, being a member of the Xiao Family, as long as Xiao Shuju announced her full name, all the hospital staff working there knew exactly who essentially owned the hospital. They immediately arranged a ward and a doctor for Xiao Shuju, without the need for Ou Chunhua to intervene.

The person accompanying Xiao Shuju was indeed the driver left by Ou Chunhua, who explained to Xiao Shulan, "My wife just had some matters to attend to and has stepped out."

Xiao Shulan then turned her attention back to her sister lying on the hospital bed.

The doctor’s preliminary diagnosis was that Xiao Shuju had been subjected to certain stimuli, causing symptoms of dizziness and headache. If she rested quietly, with no pathological basis, recovery would not be an issue. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xiao Shuju did not seem to think she was ill but was merely upset, which left her physically weakened. Now, seeing Xiao Shulan running back to find her, she lightly lifted her eyelids, somewhat lazily, as if everything that needed to be said had been said.

Xiao Shulan thought that her sister was not aware of the severe issues at hand, and sitting beside her bed, she began to recount in detail how horrible their younger brother and Xiao Yebai were and how they had infuriated their father into illness right then and there.

Upon hearing about Xiao Jianming’s sudden sickness, Xiao Shuju’s face briefly flickered with emotion, then returned to an unnaturally calm state, saying, "I know."

"What do you mean, you know?" Xiao Shulan tugged at her sleeve, "I’m telling you, you need to get it together. With dad down, who’s going to take charge at home and in the company? If we don’t act, Yebai will want to wash his hands of the business, and everything will fall into the hands of our eldest sister."

Listening to her anxious words, Xiao Shuju coldly snorted through her nose and said, "So? Are you worried everything will be taken by our eldest sister?"

"Aren’t you worried?" Xiao Shulan looked at her in surprise.

"Not at all worried. If our eldest sister wants this mess, then let her take it. I’m not jealous at all," Xiao Shuju said.

Xiao Shulan could only assume that she and Xiao Yebai were both crazy, staring at her and exclaiming, "You must pull yourself together! I’m telling you, since you can’t rely on your husband, and you aren’t fighting for yourself, what do you intend to do?"

"I don’t intend anything. Elder sister, I have always thought I wasn’t as smart as you, not to mention that now, I realize you are sillier than Yebai," she said.

Xiao Shulan, stung by her words, was so infuriated she nearly burst into smoke, stood up abruptly and said, "How dare you say I’m sillier than Yebai? That mad lunatic was crazy enough before, but now, for that woman, he’s gone completely mad, willing to become a beggar. Have you gone mad too? Saying I’m sillier than him, are you planning to become a beggar with him?"

"What’s so bad about being a beggar?"

"Do you think you could lie in such a comfortable hospital bed if you were a beggar? You would only be able to sleep on the tiles, and the hospital wouldn’t even let you in."

Xiao Shulan thought such a stark reality would soften her younger sister’s stance. However, Xiao Shuju remained silent, as if she had heard nothing.

Xiao Shulan turned and stormed out in a huff. Behind her, Xiao Shuju said again, "The reason I’m thinking about saving my own life and leaving a way out is that I think, elder sister, you might not be as smart as Yebai."

"Fine, if you believe in him, follow him—" Xiao Shulan pointed at her nose and gave her final word.

As she stormed out of the ward, not far from the ward door, Kang Yueting was standing there. Seeing her mother come out, she slowly and carefully followed her.

Meanwhile, Kang Yueting continued to exchange text messages with Zhu Jiayin on her phone.

Zhu Jiayin asked her: Where are you? I heard grandpa is sick, I got a message from my mom, and I’m hurrying to the hospital.
