Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1420: Chapter 836: The Qi Family Takes the Field (Part 3)

"The intense pain might cause a reflexive tightening of your muscles, which will slow down your recovery. That’s why I don’t want you to move."

"Miss Luo, you... you’re not angry with me anymore, are you?" Qian Ba’e stubbornly looked at Luo Ye, as if she was ready to take on whatever came her way if Luo Ye remained angry.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!..."

Just as Qian Ba’e finished speaking, a woman burst in like a whirlwind. Seeing so many people in the room, she hesitated for a moment, then charged straight at Qian Ba’e, who was sitting down. Luo Ye reacted quickly, pulling her back.

"What are you doing?" The woman’s voice was filled with anger.

"She’s injured." Luo Ye said while releasing her, pushing her aside slightly. During this moment, Zhu Hongyu was already helping Qian Ba’e lie down.

From the moment she saw the woman, Qian Ba’e’s expression became somewhat wilted. Judging from the title the woman used, she should be Qian Ba’e’s sister-in-law, and clearly, Qian Ba’e didn’t want to see her.

"What do you want with Ba’e?" The woman tried to approach the bed but was blocked by Qian Baogang.

"County Chief Qian, you’re here too?" The woman feigned surprise, "When I heard sister-in-law was injured, I got anxious, and didn’t see who else was here when I entered. Hey, please don’t be upset."

Qian Baogang said expressionlessly: "Ba’e has been somewhat affected and needs to rest for now. You can visit her once she’s better."

"No...," the woman waved her hand, "It’s not just me coming to see sister-in-law; my dad and mom are here too. They’re worried about sister-in-law’s injury. They went to the doctor’s office first and should be over soon."

"They want to see how bad my injury is before deciding how to persuade me, right?" Qian Ba’e said with a cold smile, "Jiao Zuoqin, we’ve known each other for more than thirty years. We’re both well aware of each other’s temper, so let’s stop pretending—it tires both of us."

"You all just want me to forgive Jiao Zuoting, don’t you? Jiao Zuoqin, ask yourself sincerely, how have I treated you all these years?"

"And how have you, along with your family, conspired against me? A person’s heart is made of flesh. Apparently, you’ve taken my kindness for granted?"

"Our relationship ended the moment your brother tried to kill me. From now on, you’ll walk your wide path, and I’ll cross my narrow bridge. Let’s not interact anymore!"

"Ba’e..." Jiao Zuoqin frowned, "How can you talk like that? We’re both fifty now, how can you say such hurtful things?"

"Over the years, you’ve occasionally had conflicts with my parents. But why have they acted that way? They’ve worked hard to raise their son, only for him to devote his entire mind to serving others. Could they be comfortable with that?"

"Qian Ba’e, ask yourself sincerely, what have I plotted against you? When someone called you a nameless child when we were young, who protected you? When someone bullied you, who was the first to rush in to protect you?"

"When your parents were anxious about you getting married, who introduced her brother to you despite family pressure? All these years of marriage, how has my brother treated you? You should know yourself."

"You say I’m heartless, but what about yourself? Have you genuinely cared for my brother? He’s also a man and has his own dignity. When emotions rise, losing rationality is natural."

"If he hadn’t been suppressing his feelings for years, would he have done something so senseless? He held on until today, and then, suddenly, you brought him back to his original state—it’s unbearable for him..."

"Enough, don’t say anymore." Qian Baogang quickly interrupted, "So you’re aware of everything and came here just to have my sister protect Jiao Zuoting. Go back. It’s non-negotiable."

"How can you siblings be so heartless and indifferent?" Jiao Zuoqin burst into anger, "If it weren’t for my brother, your scandal would have long made rounds. Qian Baogang, could you still be county magistrate under those circumstances?"

"Our scandal, explain yourself!" Qian Ba’e’s lips trembled with anger, "You keep asking me to cherish the past, but have you ever valued it?"

"Since the day you made me marry your brother, everything has been under your calculations. It’s me who was blind and foolish to always trust you!"

The two were involved in a heated argument when Father Jiao and Jiao’s mother arrived too—two elders in their seventies. As soon as they stepped into the ward, they knelt down with a thud before Qian Baogang and his sister.

Their words were similar to what Jiao Zuoqin said.

At that moment, Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu truly sympathized with Qian Ba’e; marrying into such a family, how has she endured all these years?
