Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 694 - 690 Momentary Hatred on Her Face

————-

Yan Jinxian was delighted to see her father had arrived, but seeing Yan Dongsheng not noticing her presence and instead looking lovingly and seriously at Yan Jinsu, Yan Jinxian couldn’t help feeling furious inside.

Upon seeing Yan Jinsu also in attendance, especially when her bulging abdomen was barely concealed by her loose clothing, Yan Jinxian’s face momentarily filled with hatred.

The two women she despised the most, Yan Jinsu and Xie Jingzi, were sitting together on the sofa, looking as if they were in cahoots, with the elderly butler respectfully attending to Xie Jingzi from time to time.

The more Yan Jinxian watched, the angrier she grew!

Her small hands gripped her husband forcefully, the veins on the back of her hands bulging, bringing a slight clarity to the dazed Zhou Yizhou.

His confused gaze caught sight of his elder brother standing with the Zhou family’s eldest grandson, discussing something that filled him with a desperate hope for rescue, yet he half-closed his eyes, daring not to reveal his emotions, even forgetting his pain.

With so many people around, his older brother was clearly focused on important matters, and with Yan Jinxian by his side, he found no chance to seek help.

Though Zhou Yizhou lived a carefree life, he was not lacking in the astuteness typical of a family scion.

In contrast to Zhou Yizhou’s anxiety, upon entering the Zhou family ancestral home with her husband, Fan Hongshan quickly noticed Xie Jingzi and Yan Jinsu sitting together, along with a few Zhou family aunts-by-marriage. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Yan Jinsu was the first to notice Fan Hongshan’s gaze and promptly waved at her, giving Fan Hongshan an opportunity to join them.

At that moment, Xie Jingzi noticed through Third Sister-in-law’s actions the intriguing arrival of Sister-in-law Fan and called her over to join the casual conversation.

As Yan Jinsu caught sight of Fan Hongshan, she also noticed Yan Jinxian’s unfriendly stare. Yan Jinxian was supporting her husband, standing behind Zhou Guorong as if being the dutiful daughter-in-law.

Their eyes met, Yan Jinsu maintaining a serene smile, while Yan Jinxian’s face twisted in brief distortion as she assisted her husband to sit down without joining Fan Hongshan.

Yan Jinsu was puzzled by Yan Jinxian’s behavior, her face still smiling, but her gaze kept drifting towards where Yan Jinxian and Zhou Yizhou were seated.

"Yan, what are you looking at?" Fan Hongshan squeezed in next to Yan Jinsu, casually taking the empty seat next to her, her thick skin allowing her to squeeze next to the pregnant woman.

"Sister Fan, is your brother-in-law ill?" Yan Jinsu glanced in that direction, signaling Fan Hongshan to look.

"Hmm, you noticed? My sister-in-law used the excuse of my brother-in-law being ill to move out for some peace, I told you about this when I first visited the Siheyuan," she had explained her reasons for visiting.

"..." Yan Jinsu choked on her words, how could she explain to the ordinary Fan Hongshan that seeing Zhou Yizhou’s reddening eyes gave her a chilling feeling?!

From the fragments of her scattered memories, she had directly assumed that Yan Jinxian must have some connection to that disreputable Doctor; now seeing the man by Yan Jinxian’s side, she felt these people truly deserved to die!

To think they would use humans for experiments!

"Ah, don’t remember?" Fan Hongshan glanced at Yan Jinsu, and seeing no reaction from her, grabbed a handful of edamame and started to chat with Yan Jinsu:

"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law’s illness is quite strange. In the past ten days or so, his condition has become increasingly weird. The feeling I get is like a wild beast on the verge of going mad."

"Oh?"

Hearing Yan Jinsu’s curious response, Fan Hongshan leaned closer to her, whispered, "Sister Yan, don’t disbelieve me. If you look at human eyes, how many are constantly red? If you observe closely, you’ll notice my brother-in-law’s pupils are tinged with red; it’s truly frightening."

"Do you know when it started?" Yan Jinsu asked with detail.

Fan Hongshan looked up puzzled at Yan Jinsu’s serious expression. What does it feel like to have one’s joke taken seriously?

Her voice abruptly paused, she relaxed her facial expression, took a deep breath, and allowing her thoughts to follow Yan Jinsu’s inquiry, she eventually replied as normally as she could:

"Um, about a week ago, I remember my brother-in-law suddenly heard the doctor say that my mother-in-law’s health was very difficult to recover. He immediately got angry at the doctor, not only throwing the teapot and cups around but also injured two maids in our house."

"Sister Fan, don’t be nervous, I was just curious and asked casually. By the way, what did the doctor say about your brother-in-law’s illness?" Yan Jinsu patted Fan Hongshan’s tensely clasped hand and smiled.

Fan Hongshan secretly took a deep breath, after seeing the ’miraculous’ effect of the medicine Yan Jinsu prescribed to her mother-in-law, she couldn’t really believe Yan Jinsu was just asking casually!

"The doctor said that my brother-in-law was agitated and too emotional, and then added that probably the illness of my mother-in-law lately has put too much psychological pressure on him, causing him to be over-emotional, and diagnosed him with moderate depression, amongst other things, but I only remember these two."

Fan Hongshan said, rolling her eyes heavenward.

Because of this, Zhou Guorong treated the brother-in-law even better, obviously, making him less satisfied with her and the sir’s, the eldest lady’s and the young master’s mood.

Originally, the sir and father-in-law didn’t get along too well, thanks to sir’s indifference. Compared to the brother-in-law, it made Zhou Yilang seem especially unfilial!

"This illness, it really can be serious or trivial~ Didn’t the doctor prescribe any medication?"

"He did. From what I see, it’s not very effective. Ever since my brother-in-law got this illness, he spends even more time in his room, but whenever someone approaches him, his mood becomes very agitated, his outburst almost seems like a bout of rage disorder."

"Listening to this... it kind of feels like rabies?" Yan Jinsu asked oddly.

"No, not that. The doctor carefully examined Zhou Yizhou’s body, no wounds were found on his body, not even a needle mark visible."

"Did he ever get bitten or scratched by dogs or cats as a child?" The incubation period of rabies can be up to twenty years. It could be a latent issue from being scratched as a child.

"Oh, I’m not sure about that. My husband and I rarely involve ourselves with his parents’ family matters. After all, no one likes to curry favor unreciprocated, right?"

Fan Hongshan shook her head; she did not know the old affairs of the Zhou family. Since Zhou Yilang clarified how their marriage came about, she had been waiting for when Zhou Yilang would ’use’ her enough and then discard her.

Hence, she had no interest in the past or ongoing affairs of the Zhou family and certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to inquire about anything. She rarely interfered even with her husband’s children, let alone provoke her in-laws and brother-in-law who disliked her!
