The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 920 - 327: When It’s Time to Give Up

Song Qiao was somewhat entranced as she stared at the scene within, unable to push open the door for quite a while. Laughter and cheerful voices drifted to her ears from inside.

Jian Xia was on the phone with the company, saying she would return soon, when she turned her head and saw Song Qiao standing motionless at the door. Unable to resist, she furrowed her brows and promptly walked up behind her, without even glancing inside, and tapped her on the shoulder. "Song Qiao, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you going in?" she asked.

Jian Xia didn’t lower her volume intentionally, so not only did Song Qiao hear her, but everyone in the ward heard her as well.

All eyes immediately focused on Song Qiao and Jian Xia standing at the door, or more precisely, everyone was looking at Song Qiao. Even Lu Jingchen was no exception. However, when Song Qiao’s gaze met his, she found a slight chill in the man’s eyes, almost devoid of warmth, let alone the surprise of seeing her.

The hand that was originally paused in mid-air was now unsure whether to lower it or push open the door. After making eye contact with Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao couldn’t help but blink and then shifted her gaze to Xu Qian. But instead of entering, she said, "Since there’s nothing much going on, I’ll head back first. I’ll bring lunch in the afternoon."

Upon seeing Song Qiao, Xu Qian’s face initially showed a hint of awkwardness. Hearing her words, she snapped back to reality and instinctively nodded, "I’ll have the driver take you home."

Song Qiao shook her head and replied with a slight smile, "No need, I have to go to the supermarket later."

After saying this, she glanced once more at Lu Jingchen, who was lying on the bed and watching her with an indifferent expression, then turned to leave.

It was only at this moment that Jian Xia noticed something unusual in the ward. She was a little upset, but due to the presence of Lu Tianming, Xu Qian, and Lu Jingchen, she said nothing and quickly turned to follow Song Qiao.

Lu Tianming, sitting on the sofa, looked displeased. After Song Qiao and Jian Xia left, he looked even unhappier, letting out a discontented snort, "Is this the wife you chose? You’ve been married for a year without children, and now that you’re injured, she just leaves whenever she wants. Didn’t I warn you before? Now look at what it’s come to!"

When Song Qiao turned to leave, Lu Jingchen wanted to follow her, but he suppressed that urge. Hearing his father’s words, he gave Lu Tianming, who was fuming, a calm glance before withdrawing his gaze, having lost the jovial demeanor from before. He then said with a cold tone, "All of you, leave. I want to rest."

Lu Tianming was infuriated by his son’s words, said nothing, and directly stood up and walked out the door.

Knowing her son better than anyone, Xu Qian understood his feelings. She realized that with Song Qiao gone, he had no interest in engaging with them any longer. With a sigh, she called Murong Rui and left with her husband.

Murong Rui had initially wanted to stay, but when she saw the man’s face, now tinged with coldness, she abandoned the idea and said, "Jingchen, take care. I’ll leave with Auntie and Uncle."

Lu Jingchen said nothing, didn’t acknowledge anyone, and his face remained very unsightly as he sat on the hospital bed, exuding a very cold aura.

Murong Rui clamped her mouth shut, unable to say a word. Glancing at Li Man, who was still sitting there, she inwardly cursed ’foolish woman’ and then exited the ward.

Suddenly, the room was empty, save for Lu Jingchen, lying on the hospital bed, and Li Man, in a wheelchair beside it.

The man’s gaze fell on Li Man, and he furrowed his brows before coldly spitting out two words, "Get out."

Li Man was still delighted by the fact that Lu Jingchen addressed her earlier and was taken aback by his tone, taking quite some time to react.

Instinctively, she said, "I’m fine, I can stay here with you."
