Chapter 455: Together

Song Anxiao had known for a while that the children had a high fever.

But now that her older sister had seen them, she could hardly pretend not to know.

Otherwise, she would get a reputation as a vicious aunt. ’And then how could I possibly stay in this town?’

"To the hospital."

Song Anning agreed they needed to go to the hospital.

She normally didn’t get too involved in her family’s affairs.

But she happened to be home today—if something really happened to the three children...

Everyone in town would surely stab her in the back with their gossip.

The two sisters scooped up the three children and rushed toward the hospital—

When they got to the hospital, the doctor saw the children’s flushed faces and grew angry.

"Why did you wait so long to bring them in? Don’t you know a fever this high can cause brain damage in children this young?"

The sisters were speechless...

They didn’t dare to argue.

"Doctor, please, save the children. You have to bring their fevers down."

The doctor didn’t say anything more to them.

After all, now that they were at the hospital, the medical staff would certainly do their best.

──

Fu Mingxue, however, knew nothing of the Song Family’s troubles.

"Mom, we can go now."

"Alright." Mrs. Fu placed one child on the bicycle’s front crossbar and the other on the back seat.

After strapping them in, she was still a little worried. "They won’t fall, will they?"

"They won’t. I’m just going to walk the bike over. Let’s go!"

Just as she was asking her mother to lock the door, she saw a car driving their way.

She took a closer look. It seemed to be Qin Wenze.

Sure enough, the car pulled up and stopped right in front of her house.

Qin Wenze quickly got out of the car.

"Sister-in-law, Mom sent me to drive you over."

Fu Mingxue replied, "But it’s such a short walk!"

Still, since the car was already here, she figured she might as well take the ride. It would be a waste not to.

Besides, it would be cold for the two children on the bicycle.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fu helped lift the two children down.

Fu Mingxue, in turn, pushed the bicycle back into the yard.

Once both mother and daughter were in the car, Qin Wenze drove off.

Mrs. Qin was already waiting by the door.

Seeing this, Gao Lan chimed in, "Mom, it’s cold outside, you don’t have to wait. We’ll hear the car when Wenzhe gets here. It’s not too late to come out then."

"It’s fine. They’ll be here soon," Mrs. Qin said, calculating the time.

It wasn’t a long way; the trip there and back would be quick.

Seeing her like this, Gao Lan didn’t press the issue.

After a moment’s thought, she simply decided to stand and wait with her.

Before long, they saw Qin Wenze’s car approaching.

Gao Lan pulled her gaze back and subconsciously glanced at her mother-in-law’s face—the excitement she saw there was a truly rare sight.

Her mother-in-law certainly never showed that kind of excitement when she saw her, at least.

The moment Qin Wenze’s car stopped,

Mrs. Qin rushed forward and pulled open the car door.

"My little darlings, come, let Grandma hold you."

She lifted out Qin Keke, who was sitting closest to the door.

Mrs. Fu, meanwhile, got out from the other side.

Then, she lifted Qin Hao out.

"Mom." Fu Mingxue got out of the passenger seat. When she saw Gao Lan, she called out to her as well, "Sister-in-law!"

Gao Lan was taken aback by how stunning she looked.

She felt that her sister-in-law looked even more beautiful than the last time she’d seen her, with a much better complexion.

She looked just like an eighteen-year-old girl.

’If I didn’t know she was a daughter-in-law of the Qin family, I’d never believe she was married.’

"—Welcome, Sister-in-law! You’re here! Come on inside!"

Then she turned to Mrs. Fu and called out a greeting, "Hello, Auntie!"

This was also the first time Gao Lan had met Mrs. Fu. ’I can’t believe my sister-in-law’s mother is so young,’ she thought, ’about the same age as my own mother-in-law.’

’I guess it’s true that a blessed life keeps you looking young.’

"Hello!" Mrs. Fu said, turning to look at Gao Lan.
