After Being A Marriage Stand-in, I Disguised As An Ugly Woman - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Goddaughter

Auntie Lin knocked on the door, but there was no response. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a voice behind her.

“Madam Mo?” Qiu Xin called out curiously and excitedly.

Jiang Qiu turned around and saw Qiu Xin in her hospital gown. “Why are you walking around in that condition?” Jiang Qiu then walked forward and held Qiu Xin’s hand.

Qiu Xin smiled tiredly. “I’ve been lying on a bed for two days. I wanted to go out for a walk and enjoy the nice weather.”

“You’re still injured. Why didn’t you get someone to accompany you?” Jiang Qiu’s face was full of worry. She held Qiu Xin’s hand and walked into the ward.

Qiu Xin’s head drooped slightly, and she didn’t say anything.

Jiang Qiu asked Aunt Lin to bring some fruits and snacks to Qiu Xin’s bedside. Jiang Qiu helped Qiu Xin onto the bed. “You saved Grandmother this time. You are her savior!”

“You don’t have to be so polite, Madam Mo. That was just something that I had to do.” Qiu Xin hung her head low, looking docile. “Anyone would’ve reacted the same way in such a situation.”

Jiang Qiu shook her head. “If it weren’t for you, Grandmother might have already… I hope you know that my family will not mistreat you. How about this, you can be my Goddaughter and Mo He’s Godsister. Does that sound good?”

Qiu Xin furrowed her brows when she heard Jiang Qiu’s words. She wasn’t interested in becoming Mo He’s Godsister. She only wanted to be his wife.

Seeing that Qiu Xin hadn’t responded, Jiang Qiu said, “I know what you’re thinking… But I’ve told you before. You and Mo He are… Impossible.”

Qiu Xin raised her head to look at Jiang Qiu with a bitter smile on her face, “I know, Madam Mo!”

Jiang Qiu sighed, took Qiu Xin’s hand, and said, “You should rest. I won’t let anyone hurt you! From now on, I will treat you as my daughter!” After saying that, Jiang Qiu gestured for Aunt Lin to leave with her.

When they left the room, Qiu Xin ruthlessly swept the snacks on the table onto the floor. “Why would you treat me like your daughter?! I don’t care about that!”

Qiu Xin gnashed her teeth and pounded the table violently as she shouted. When she finally vented her frustrations, Qiu Xin straightened her body as she calmed herself down.

Then Qiu Xin picked up her phone and contacted someone. “You did a good job the other day. Don’t forget to clean up the scene and don’t cause me any trouble. There’s one more thing I need you to do…”

Qiu Xin gave her instructions and revealed a menacing smile. She hung up the phone and sat on the hospital bed, muttering, “You’ll be mine sooner or later, Mo He.”

Xia Yan carried some things in her hands and went to her grandma’s ward. She initially planned to visit her grandma after meeting Old Madam Mo. But it seemed that meeting Old Madam Mo was even more challenging than ascending into the Heavens.

‘Many people in the hospital already regard Mo He and Qiu Xin as a couple. If this continues and Mo He decides to divorce me one day…’ Suddenly, Xia Yan laughed out loud at this thought.

When Xia Yan promised Xia Rou that she would marry into the Mo family, she only needed to stay with them for as long as possible. Most importantly, Xia Yan couldn’t let the Mo family marry Xia Rou.

Xia Yan walked toward the ward when she saw Fang Yao running over from afar. She frowned, obviously not wanting to face him.

However, Fang Yao overlooked Xia Yan and ran past her extremely fast. Xia Yan instinctively turned around, but she saw Xia Rou and Yao Qing in the hallway.

Xia Yan furrowed her eyebrows. She knew that the mother and daughter duo weren’t there to visit her grandma.

News of Old Madam Mo being in the hospital was still under wraps. The mother and daughter couldn’t have gotten the news so quickly to curry favor with her. But now…

As Xia Yan became curious, she saw that Fang Yao had already appeared before Xia Rou. Xia Yan could see Xia Rou smiling gently at Fang Yao from afar. Xia Rou looked flirtatious and tender.

Xia Yan couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose as she suddenly felt nauseated. Xia Yan quickly walked toward her grandma’s ward after that.

Meanwhile, Mo He had just finished processing the documents Liao Chen brought and rested in the corridor. He looked down and saw Xia Yan in a hurry. Mo He frowned and watched as Xia Yan disappeared around the corner.
