Chapter 342 - Bad Woman
"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of showing goodwill. It's just that it's rare for us to be in the same ward. You haven't eaten anything these two days. Drink warm milk to warm your stomach." Jiang Ruolan didn't wait for her to take it. She placed the glass on the table next to Zhou Shufen and left after saying her piece.
Jiang Ruolan leaned against the head of the bed and finished reading the newspaper. As she looked up, she saw that Zhou Shufen hadn't yet touched the glass of milk.
She sighed in her heart. Those who had very high pride will not accept the good intentions of a person.
****
In the past two days, Zhan An had often been going back and forth to the hospital, taking care of her. Jiang Ruolan felt sorry for her and told her to go back to Xian Residence for rest. She was fine after all, and she could observe her condition by herself.
Zhan An reluctantly agreed and didn't come back again, including Old Man Xian and Nanny Cheng.
Jiang Ruolan also knew that when she slept at night, Jiang Yijun would come to see her. Every morning on the table, there will be a bunch of pink lotus, one of her favorite flowers that only he knew.
At night, Senior Zhou did bring a round glass fish tank and placed it on the window sill between the two patient beds. Then, he put two beautiful little goldfish in the tank.
Xiaoyi was still asleep at that time, so Senior Zhou told Zhou Shufen to go out and eat something. Zhou Shufen glanced at Jiang Ruolan before she left. Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Ruolan knew that she wanted her to take care of Xiaoyi for a while.
After they left, Jiang Ruolan got up and walked to the window sill. Under the light of a lamp, she saw two small goldfish in a fish tank and chuckled. With childish behavior, she turned to peel the boiled egg from the table, crush the egg yolk and place it in her hand.
"Don't touch my fish!"
Jiang Ruolan froze. She turned her head and saw Xiaoyi kneeling on the bed with an angry look on her face. Xiaoyi was still wearing the remaining medical tape and a small hospital gown, but her behavior was like an adult when she was angry.
Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. She picked up the egg yolk in her hand for her (Xiaoyi) to see. "Then I will help you feed the fish!"
"Who wants a bad woman like you to feed my little fish! That's my little fish!"
Xiaoyi unhappily lifted her blanket and jumped out of bed. She seemed to know that she had just been operated on and should not jump too hard, so she carefully got out of bed.
Jiang Ruolan's heart melted at a glance. She watched Xiaoyi put on her big slippers and walked to the window sill as fast as she could. Then, she raised her head and glared at her. "This is my fish, you are not allowed to touch it!"
With that, she raised her hand and gestured to the middle of the windowsill, "You are not allowed to pass this line! This is yours, this is mine! You're not allowed to come here because you are a bad woman!"
Jiang Ruolan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Your leg, retract, retract! Don't stand in my place! This is mine!" Seeing that Jiang Ruolan didn't move, Xiaoyi extended her small hand to push her away. "My mother is afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you! Go away, bad woman!"
Jiang Ruolan felt that she should have a good relationship with this little girl and not let her misunderstood. She actually wanted to hug the cute little child more. To draw a line between them like this was too heartbreaking.
However, Xiaoyi snorted and didn't even give her a chance. She ran out of the ward with her hands on her shoulders, and when she saw someone in a white dress, she shouted, "Auntie, auntie! The woman in my ward is a bad woman! Please help me get her out!"
Doctors and nurses working in the area have known Jiang Ruolan for the past few days. Of course, they knew her character very well, so they considered Xiaoyi's words as a child's play. They patiently coaxed and laughed with her for a moment before sending her back to the ward.
Seeing that she had failed, Xiaoyi crawled back to bed with a sad look on her face and waited for her mother to return.
Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, looked at Xiaoyi's drooping head and immediately gave her an evil smile. She raised the egg yolk in her hand and said arrogantly, "You are not tall, and can not reach the window sill. Only I can feed the fish, and if you want to recapture your fish, you need to grow taller. When you are as tall as this, I will not be able to snatch it from you!"
Xiaoyi tilted her head and stared at Jiang Ruolan, throwing a small amount of egg yolk into the tank. She was angry, but she did not cry. Instead, with a frown, she suddenly turned her back to Jiang Ruolan and refused to look at her.
What a... Lovely child...
Jiang Ruolan couldn't hold back her laughter. She put the egg yolk in her hand and saw the bandage on the back of Xiaoyi's head. Although Xiaoyi was not her child, she really hoped a miracle would happen to her at this time.
If Xiaoyi really did leave, then no matter how proud Zhou Shufen was, she would collapse completely. Xiaoyi was her biological daughter, after all. Her flesh and blood. Nothing would hurt a mother's heart more than the loss of their child.
After a few days, Senior Zhou and a group of people close to the Zhou Family came to give Xiaoyi all kinds of food and drink. When Zhou Shufen had time, she would sit by the bed and coax her little daughter. Eating, calling her darling, often coaxing her, pinch her small mouth, and at night she would even gently coax her to sleep.
Xiaoyi, meanwhile, has been in a cold war with Jiang Ruolan for two days. Jiang Ruolan really did not think this little girl had a good memory even though there was a tumor on her head. For example, she remembered how many times she (Jiang Ruolan) slapped her mother.
Since the Xian Family did not leak the news that she was in the hospital, Jiang Ruolan kept a low profile. When someone comes to visit Xiaoyi, she will go into hiding. She was used to living alone in the ward and seeing that so many people spoiled Xiaoyi...She was suddenly very jealous of this child.
How come no one would call her a precious thing every day and coax her to sleep at night? Even if Xiaoyi was a child, Jiang Ruolan was actually only nineteen years older than this child! She also wanted to act coquettishly!
At least when she was five years old, she didn't have such treatment.
Then, the battle between Xiaoyi and Jiang Ruolan began.
On the third day, Jiang Ruolan, who was alone, seemed to have lost to Xiaoyi. As she looked at the people coming and going, Xiaoyi called them sweetly as uncle and aunt. Occasionally, those who came didn't recognize Jiang Ruolan. They would only smile politely at her before turning away apathetically.
Jiang Ruolan was now truly being compared to a spoiled girl. There was no place for her to speak in such a desolate manner.
At that moment, Jiang Ruolan suddenly found herself on the verge of death. She looked at the snow-white walls, sniffed the disinfectant smell, held the newspaper in her hand, and sighed.
