Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: The Elder Sister with Good Intentions Who Made Things Worse

Qi Fenglian saw her younger brother’s face grow bitter and couldn’t help feeling somewhat uneasy; it seemed she might have done more harm than good.

”I, I just thought such a big matter should be known by mom and the others, and it couldn’t be hidden, right? So, I didn’t think too much and just told her. I didn’t mean anything else,” Qi Fenglian explained hurriedly.

”I know, Elder Sister, I’m not blaming you. It’s just, you know how mom is, she had long been looking forward to me and Cheng Su having children, remember how many things she has said, how much she has done? If she finds out about this, won’t she be worried sick? Worrying is inevitable, what I’m most afraid of is her making some comments and causing a fuss. Right now, I just want some peace, to let Susu recover well, and not have her be troubled anymore. We’re already heartbroken after what happened; if there’s more commotion, it will only hurt more,” Qi Taiguo said.

Qi Fenglian, thinking of their mother’s past actions, felt a little panicked and stammered, ”Then, what should we do? I, I’ve already told her.” She felt continuously irritated with herself for not thinking things through, acting on her own accord without consideration, and now she truly feared she had done a good deed in a wrong way.

Qi Taiguo pursed his lips and said, ”Forget it, what’s said is said. I’ll talk to mom about it.”

Qi Fenglian felt awkward and extremely restless, not knowing what to do with her hands.

Unable to leave the fast-food restaurant at the train station unattended, Qi Fenglian sat for a while before returning to work.

Just after she left, Ying Xiaoya’s mother, Director Ying, also came by, carrying a pot of chicken soup that moved Cheng Su so much she didn’t know what to say.

”It’s okay, you’re still young, there will be other chances. The most important thing is to recover well and to keep a peaceful mind. Don’t think too much about the rest,” Director Ying said with tearful eyes, comforting her with words that everyone says.

Cheng Su also had teary eyes and nodded heavily.

Director Ying didn’t ask how exactly Cheng Su had found herself in this situation; she only talked about happy things. After Cheng Su finished the soup, the Director took the thermos and left, saying she would bring more soup the next day.

”Director Ying is really good to you, treats you like her own daughter,” Qi Taiguo said as he sat down.

Cheng Su nodded, ”She has a good temperament, that’s why Xiao Ya is also raised so well.” It truly was an honor to know them.

”Yeah,” Qi Taiguo smiled and felt genuinely happy for her, acknowledging that it was Cheng Su’s good nature that earned such sincere treatment from others.

”What did you and Elder Sister talk about?” Cheng Su asked casually.

Qi Taiguo paused before saying, ”I was thinking of asking her not to spread this matter at home, to save them the heartache.”

Cheng Su was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head, ”She already told them?”

If the family finds out, no, she feared her mother-in-law might turn everything upside down. Ah, this Elder Sister, what could be said about her?

”She did,” said Qi Taiguo. ”Elder Sister’s intention was for mom to come over and take care of you. After all, this isn’t a small matter, and you need to recover well, so she hurriedly told her.”

Cheng Su gave a wry smile, ”I’m not bedridden after childbirth; I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. No one needs to come and take care of me.”

”Nonsense, this is a big deal. You can only lie down or sit at home to rest. You can’t do anything else and you mustn’t touch cold water,” Qi Taiguo retorted with widened eyes. ”If you really don’t want mom to come over, I’ll tell her not to. Then, I’ll ask Elder Sister to stay for a few days to help take care of you. Does that sound good?”

”How can Elder Sister take time off from her job? It’s really not necessary. No one needs to come,” Cheng Su shook her head.

”Alright, alright, if you don’t want it, then you don’t. Besides, I’m still here,” Qi Taiguo acquiesced, saying, ”Shall I go make a call then?”

”I’m afraid your mom is already on her way here,” Cheng Su said with a bitter smile.

Qi Taiguo looked closely at her complexion then clenched his teeth and went out.
