My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 342
Chapter 342 Every Parent Is Admirable
Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu immediately exchanged glances and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
Before the two of them could figure out why, Qin Xiaozhi had already grabbed Mu Yu’s hand, and his tone instantly became amiable as he lamented, “Poor girl, don’t be sad. Tell me what he does that makes you so sad. I’ll help you!”
Seeing Qin Xiaozhi staring at her eyes, Mu Yu immediately realized that her bloodshot and swollen eyes had given her away. When she was pondering how to respond, Qin Jinhuan spoke.
“Yu and I have no conflict. She…”
“Do you think I am blind?” Qin Xiaozhi interjected him harshly. “Look, her sparkly and bright eyes are so swollen and red! Who else can make her cry like this except you?”
“We just have a little argument. I…”
“Grandpa, you really misunderstood!” Worried that Qin Jinhuan would accidentally spill the beans, Mu Yu quickly interrupted him and looked at Qin Xiaozhi with bared teeth. “I cried not because Huan had hurt me, but because… because…”
She was speechless for a moment because she had not thought of a better excuse.
“She didn’t want me to send you to West Mountain,” Qin Jinhuan quipped. “Ying said that you need to rest well, and it’s going to be summer soon. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to withstand An City’s summer, so I planned to send you to West Mountain Sanatorium for a few months. Yu interpreted the sanatorium as a nursing home and firmly opposed sending you there. She scolded me for being ignorant and refused to listen to my explanation. I disagreed with what she said, so we had a little argument. She was quite unreasonable last night. I wanted to wait for her to calm down before bringing this up, so I slept in the study last night, but I didn’t know that she would cry for the whole night.”
“Really?” Qin Xiaozhi looked at Mu Yu in disbelief.
At this point, Mu Yu could only nod to match up with his story. Then, she grimaced in annoyance and shouted at Qin Jinhuan, “Sanatorium, nursing home, they are more or less the same thing, okay? Grandpa raised you up painstakingly and spent all his efforts nurturing you. Now that you have grown up, you despise him for being old and want to send him to a sanatorium. Don’t you feel a little guilty or sorry?”
“There is a big difference between a nursing home and a sanatorium, okay? If you don’t understand, just ask others. Don’t be so ignorant, okay?”
“How can you talk to Yu like that?” Qin Xiaozhi immediately scolded Qin Xiaozhi, “Yu opposed you sending me to a sanatorium because she cares about you. Can’t you see that? She is worried that you will be labeled as a heartless person in the future! You misinterpreted her care and even scolded her. No wonder she was so angry that she cried all night. Apologize to her this instant!”
Then he patted Mu Yu on the shoulder and gently advised, “I know you are a kind child, but you misunderstood Huan. West Mountain is spring all year round, and the air is fresh. The sanatorium built on the mountain is indeed a very good place to go. In the past, your parents and I mentioned going there for a short vacation, but I was too busy and worried about the matters in the family and the company here. Now that I think about it, I’m already old, and I can’t do anything for Huan and Qing Tian Group. On the contrary, I will only be a drag for Huan. Rather than this, it is better to go to the sanatorium to put him at ease and make myself comfortable.”
Mu Yu was startled. “Do you really plan to go there?”
She thought that Qin Jinhuan had asked Qin Xiaozhi to go to the West Mountain Sanatorium because she wanted to make an appeal for Dong Wanqing’s case and he didn’t want Grandpa to be worried about it. To her surprise, Grandpa had this idea long ago.
“Not only him, but we also want to go.”
Hearing her mother’s voice, Mu Yu quickly turned around and saw her parents coming over with a smile. She immediately marched forward and greeted them, “Are you going to West Mountain Sanatorium too?”
“Of course. I heard that West Mountain is very beautiful, and the weather is very pleasant, but your dad insisted that we come to ask for your opinion. He was worried that you would miss us and would be terribly sad when you couldn’t see us for some time.” Hu Meiling chuckled and turned to look at Mu Ziyao. “How far exactly do you think West Mountain is? It’s only two hours to drive there from An City. If she misses us, she can ask Huan to take her to us. Do you need to be so dramatic?”
West Mountain was west of An City, and West Bay was at the foot of West Mountain while the sanatorium was on the mountain. It was indeed not far. However, Mu Ziyao disagreed with his wife’s words and immediately objected, “It will take at least half a day just on the travel. Huan is so busy with work, how can he have time…”
“I can ask the driver to send me there. He doesn’t have to send me over.” Mu Yu immediately smiled and supported their decision. “Since you want to go, go with Grandpa. When I am free, I will meet you there and see if the scenery and weather there are really as good as you say.”
Qin Jinhuan smiled and quipped, “No matter how busy I am, I’ll go with her when she misses you.”
Qin Xiaozhi laughed happily. “This is what a good husband should say. Yu wouldn’t have cried until her eyes were swollen if you had talked nicely to her like this last night.”
Hu Meiling immediately defended Qin Jinhuan. “Old Master, this can’t be all Huan’s fault. It’s Yu’s fault for being too willful. I have to remind you, don’t spoil her too much. You’ll spoil her rotten, and she’ll be pompous.”
Qin Jinhuan immediately looked at Mu Yu seriously and said, “I’ll always pamper her and spoil her even if she becomes spoiled and pompous.”
Qin Xiaozhi and Mu Ziyao immediately laughed when they heard this. Hu Meiling also laughed and beamed, “Well, don’t come crying at me when she bullies you.”
The way Qin Jinhuan looked at Mu Yu became even gentler. “I don’t mind being bullied as long as she is happy.”
Everyone but Mu Yu was touched when they heard this.
She was very clear about why Qin Jinhuan expressed his love for her in front of the elders. She just smiled symbolically and then held Qin Xiaozhi’s arm to interrupt everyone’s praise for Qin Jinhuan. “Grandpa, it’s getting late. Let’s go.”
“Oh, okay, okay. Let’s go.” Qin Xiaozhi turned to look at Mu Ziyao with a smile. “Since Yu has agreed, shall we go to West Mountain tomorrow morning?”
“Okay.” Mu Ziyao then looked at Hu Meiling. “We shall go back and pack up.”
Hu Meiling nodded and walked to Mu Yu’s side. As they walked, she secretly tugged Mu Yu’s sleeves.
Knowing that her mother wanted her to accompany her back to pack her things, Mu Yu did not get in the car after sending Qin Xiaozhi to Qi Hao’s car. After Qi Hao’s car left, she was about to go to her parent’s car when Hu Meiling pulled her to the side and whispered into her ear.
“Yu, listen, don’t lose your temper at Huan for no reason in the future. You are husband and wife. If there are any problem, just talk it out. Endless quarrels and threats not only can’t solve your problem but will also ruin your relationship. If you don’t cherish him, he will be fed up and throw himself into another woman’s arms. Don’t come crying at me then!”
She didn’t expect her mother to pull her to the corner just to defend Qin Jinhuan, so she snorted in disdain and grunted, “He can throw himself into anyone’s arms. I don’t care.”
“Stop it. You can say this to me, but don’t let Huan hear this. He loves you, but it doesn’t mean that he has no temper. Maybe one day he will really go and date someone else! You should know that a lot of women in An City want to hook up with him!”
“Well, we can just divorce.”
Mu Yu’s seemingly emotionless words made Hu Meiling burst out laughing. “Silly girl! Stop being so stubborn. I know you care about him very much. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have cried all night because of him.”
“That’s because I…” Realizing that she couldn’t say anything, Mu Yu immediately went silent.
Hu Meiling smirked as if she had read her mind and then advised earnestly, “Darling, remember my words. Two people must work hard to stay married. Only then will your relationship become more and more harmonious, and you’ll be closer together. Don’t expect him to always tolerate you and give in for you. This will unbalance the feelings between you two, and eventually, he will feel tired and completely lose confidence in the marriage, and he’ll leave! By then, it’ll be too late for you to regret it, and nothing will be able to change his mind. Darling, I can see that Huan loves you very much. You are our only child. I want you to be happy. You have to learn to understand Huan more. Don’t lose your temper in front of him all the time. Women who get angry all the time will look older quickly. By then, you’ll hurt your own body as well as his heart. It is really not worth it.”
Mu Ziyao, who had been standing silently beside them, interrupted and added, “Did Huan do something wrong? Tell me and Grandpa, and we’ll knock some senses into his head.”
Mu Yu was jittery as her parents were serious and worried, so she forced a smile, curled her arm around her father’s arm, and teased her mother, “Dad, you’re the best! You always take my side, unlike Mom, who always takes her son-in-law’s side.”
This sentence cheered Mu Ziyao and Hu Meiling up. Mu Ziyao immediately teased, “Daughter, that’s because your mom is the best mother-in-law.”
Hu Meiling smiled and said, “That’s because the more I look at Huan, the more I like him. Our darling daughter insisted on marrying him, remember?”
Mu Ziyao smiled and then turned to face Mu Yu with a very serious expression. He stroked her face with a distressed look. “Dear, in the future, no matter how upset you are with Huan, don’t use your body to scare us…”
Having guessed that Qin Jinhuan had told her parents about her going to the roof last night, Mu Yu, who did not want her parents to worry, hurriedly explained, “It was a prank…”
“You can’t do that either! Who knows if the roof is safe or not? What if the railing was rusty and it collapsed after you leaned on it?” Mu Ziyao interrupted her. “If we had known that you went to the roof where Dong Wanqing had jumped off instead of your own apartment’s rooftop, we would have rushed over at that time!”
“Why are you still in the mood to smile?” Hu Meiling poked Mu Yu’s forehead and also turned serious. “We knew about this because we bumped into Wenwen at the hospital when she came for the prenatal checkup. Our legs went jelly, you have no idea! When you insisted on marrying Huan, I warned you that you must not regret it since you chose him yourself. You must be with him through thick and thin. You promised! You are not a child anymore, so you must keep your word! Dad and I are getting older and older. You can’t scare us again! Besides, I’m sure you will never find another man who loves you as much as Huan does! You must cherish him!”
“Huan really loves you. He called us early this morning to explain what happened last night to us. He told us not to worry and promised that he would try to treat you well and would not upset you again. Why do you think your mom and I agreed to go to West Mountain Sanatorium?” Mu Ziyao said with a face full of gratification.
Her parents’ words and looks made Mu Yu feel very stressed, but she still forced a smile on her face and tried to say that she would definitely love Qin Jinhuan.
After sending her parents away, Mu Yu, who was full of bitterness, did not go back to work but went home gloomily.
At this time, she realized that even if she insisted on divorcing Qin Jinhuan, her parents and Grandpa would not agree, and she couldn’t get Qin Jinhuan to agree too. Although she loved him, she could not face him every day, so she planned to leave An City for a while.
When she was packing up, Qin Jinhuan came back.
