After Being A Marriage Stand-in, I Disguised As An Ugly Woman - Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Grandma Was Hospitalized
Throughout the whole journey back to the Mo residence, Xia Yan was sullen and silent. Jiang Tong didn’t say much and just told Xia Yan to call her if she needed anything. Xia Yan nodded and turned around to enter the Mos’ front door.
What made Xia Yan feel strange was that the Mo residence was tranquil at this time. Recalling Mo He at the hospital, Xia Yan chided herself, ‘What are you worrying about?’
Something must have happened to Qiu Xin. Mo He must have gone to the hospital to see her. Thinking of this, Xia Yan shook her hands and quickly walked upstairs to her room. Mo He did not come home that night.
Although the two were just roommates now, Xia Yan gradually got used to having another person in the same room after spending the past few days with Mo He.
Even though she could have the entire bed to herself today, she felt like something was wrong. It was not even five in the morning when Xia Yan woke up. She had a slight headache as if she had been thinking all night.
She got up from the bed, washed up a little, and walked out of the room in a daze. Since Mo He allowed Xia Yan to come and go as she pleases, Du Xia was not obligated to stay by Xia Yan’s side at every waking hour.
Xia Yan found that the hall was still empty walking down the stairs. She frowned and was about to call a servant over to ask where everyone was when she saw Mo Pei rushing over from outside.
“Xia Yan, you’re home?” Mo Pei asked with curiosity as he looked at Xia Yan.
“Yes. What are you doing here so early in the morning? Your cousin hasn’t been home since yesterday,” Xia Yan said coldly.
“I know,” Mo Pei nodded, “He’s at the hospital. I’ll bring the documents to him there.”
Xia Yan frowned. She wanted to ask about it but stopped herself.
Just as Xia Yan was hesitating, Mo Pei took the documents and walked out of the study. “Sister-in-law, do you want to go to the hospital with me?”
“You want me to come along?” Xia Yan was even more confused.
Was there a need for her to visit Qiu Xin?
While Xia Yan was stunned, Mo Pei pulled her hand and dragged her out. “Don’t overthink. Let’s go.”
Xia Yan was in a daze as Mo Pei stuffed her into the car and drove to the hospital.
On the way, Xia Yan found out that Mo He had rushed to the hospital yesterday, not for Qiu Xin, but his grandmother, Old Madam Mo. For some reason, Xia Yan felt relieved when she heard this.
The two arrived at the hospital. Mo Pei led Xia Yan to the VIP ward on the top floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Jiang Qiu.
Jiang Qiu saw Xia Yan and asked unkindly, “Why are you here?”
Mo Pei chuckled at Jiang Qiu. “I brought Sister-in-law here. Grandmother has always wanted to see her.”
Jiang Qiu snorted coldly. “Grandmother is currently sick. How could she have the time to see her?”
Xia Yan knew that Jiang Qiu didn’t welcome her, but she undoubtedly wanted to see Old Madam Mo.
Xia Yan nodded slightly at Jiang Qiu. “I’m sure you haven’t slept all night, Mother-in-law. Go home and get some rest. I’ll take care of Old Madam Mo. Don’t worry.”
As Xia Yan spoke, she stepped out of the elevator to make room for Jiang Qiu. Jiang Qiu looked coldly at Xia Yan, snorted, and walked into the elevator.
Xia Yan watched the elevator doors close, turned around, and strode forward.
Mo Pei looked at Xia Yan’s back and couldn’t help but sigh, “You’re amazing, Xia Yan! My second aunt is known to be stubborn!”
Xia Yan didn’t care to hear Mo Pei’s praise. She was only concerned with finding Old Madam Mo’s ward. She took a few steps forward and saw Mo He walking out of one of the wards.
Mo He looked exhausted. It was evident that he hadn’t slept the whole night. He raised his head and saw Xia Yan and Mo Pei in front of him. Mo He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Yan with disdain.
Xia Yan knew Mo He did not like her. However, when she saw his gaze, she cursed herself. She felt guilty for monopolizing the big bed last night.Seeing Mo He’s expression, she wanted nothing more than to chase him out of the room.
Mo He looked at Xia Yan’s eyes and glared fiercely at her as if she had done something wrong.
Mo Pei trotted over to Mo He and said, “Second Cousin, I’ve brought the documents.”
Mo He took the documents and rifled through them. He nodded and then looked at Xia Yan, who had already walked away. “What are you doing here?”
Mo Pei quickly answered on Xia Yan’s behalf, “I brought Xia Yan along to see Grandmother!”
