Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 53: Even a Barking Dog Would’t Bite
Qin’s mother couldn’t seem to comprehend how this could be the reason.
"That was their doing, what does it have to do with us?" she retorted.
"Because one of them is Qin Mingcheng’s wife, and the other is Qin Mingcheng’s mother-in-law. A grown man who can’t even manage his wife properly, no wonder he’s ruined and no longer of any use," Su Yijia said with her hand covering her mouth, clearly delighted.
Qin’s mother was so infuriated that her vision darkened, and she fainted on the spot.
Both Gao Huabin and the security guard instinctively moved to help, but Su Yijia stopped them.
"It’s so hot now; she won’t catch a cold lying on the ground. Let her be. After all, sleeping anywhere is still sleeping. If she tries to extort something from you later, it won’t be good."
Although they weren’t afraid of the woman lying on the ground trying to extort money from them, they still chose to follow Su Yijia’s instructions.
At the moment, not only did they refrain from assisting Qin’s mother, but even the workers who had carried the large items inside didn’t intervene in such a trivial matter.
In the end, it was Qin Mingcheng who carried her back inside.
As he passed by Su Yijia, he widened his eyes in anger but didn’t dare to say anything.
He could only grit his teeth and enter the house directly.
Su Yijia watched his retreating figure and let out a scornful snort.
When she turned around, she saw Gao Huabin looking at her with a worried expression, as if he feared that their past relationship hadn’t truly ended.
"Did you see him? A barking dog won’t bite. He barked loudly a few days ago, but in reality, he’s just a brainless waste. Now that he’s stopped barking, who knows what malicious thoughts he’s keeping to himself," Su Yijia said, feigning depth as she nodded her chin toward the direction Qin Mingcheng had gone.
Upon hearing this, Gao Huabin’s worried expression vanished instantly from his face.
Gao Huabin hastily patted his chest and assured her, "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured! I won’t let him harm you or Big Brother. If he dares to do anything, I’ll beat him to a pulp."
"We’ll keep a close eye on him. If he does anything, we’ll report him to the police," Su Yijia said. She thought Qin Mingcheng, being frail and weak, might not be able to withstand many blows. If he died, that wouldn’t matter, but she didn’t want to involve Gao Huabin.
The workers had finished setting up the television, and Xia Weiguo and one of the security guards brought in the groceries. Due to their imminent departure, they had bought a substantial amount of food—fish, lamb, pork ribs, pork belly, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and more.
Su Yijia’s cooking skills were on full display for this meal, and the aroma wafted into the neighboring courtyard, making everyone’s mouths water. The tantalizing scent even caused some children to cry and fuss, hoping to sneak a taste, but their elders firmly held them back. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
They had also noticed the car parked outside Qin’s house for the past couple of days. In this day and age, anyone who could afford a car was considered an important figure, and they didn’t want to provoke trouble.
Xia Weiguo thoroughly enjoyed the meal and even tried some of Qin Kaize’s hospital food. He nodded in approval while savoring the delicacies.
"Delicious! It’s really delicious! Aside from being a tad mild in flavor, it’s perfect. But I understand that Kaize needs to eat lightly given his current condition."
"Uncle Xia, you’re too kind. It’s just a simple meal. I heard there used to be some master chefs who could make nourishing medicinal meals. That would be truly effective for improving health," Su Yijia casually mentioned.
It was now 1977, and although she didn’t know many details about what had happened during the past years, Xia Weiguo, in his position, certainly had more knowledge. Her comment made Xia Weiguo lower his eyelids slightly as he began to contemplate whether he could ask someone to investigate and possibly find such a skilled chef. Once they found one, they could invite the chef to help improve Kaize’s health.
