The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 25

"Really? So my mom can be discharged from the hospital next week?"

In a private hospital in North River, the doctor was in the ward discussing Lin Ruiqing's treatment situation with Jing Beicheng and Jing Zejun.

The doctor was recording the treatment progress in his notebook. Hearing Jing Zejun's question, he looked up with a smile and said, "Yes, Mrs. Jing's treatment is going very well. She should be fully recovered by next week."

Jing Zejun's smile deepened. This was the best news she had heard in a while.

Jing Beicheng, who had been by Lin Ruiqing's side, also managed a rare smile.

He had been the most worried person during this time. Having finally found his daughter and reunited the family, he thought his wife's health would gradually improve.

But then suddenly receiving news of his wife's deteriorating condition was like a bolt from the blue for him.

Thankfully, everything was fine now.

Lin Ruiqing held his hand, a gentle smile on her lips.

"Thank you, Doctor!"

Jing Zejun saw the doctor out and happily returned to her parents' side.

Lin Ruiqing lovingly stroked her head.

The joy in Jing Zejun's eyes was almost overflowing. "That's wonderful, Mom! You'll be able to come home next week!"

Lin Ruiqing also breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to go home. Although Jing Yi and the others had been taking turns coming to care for her and keep her company during this time,

it was still very different from being at home.

"So Mom was bored too? But I heard that the ward was quite lively a few days ago?"

Jing Zejun sat nearby, her smile bright and gentle.

Jing Beicheng looked at Lin Ruiqing, realizing that she had 'sold out' the incident of Jing Zeqian and Jing Yi being made to stand as punishment to Jing Zejun.

Lin Ruiqing looked at Jing Zejun, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Jing Beicheng.

Jing Beicheng smiled faintly. Well, it wasn't him who was embarrassed anyway. "Those two can start arguing anywhere," he said, completely selling out Jing Zeqian and Jing Yi.

The smile in Jing Zejun's eyes deepened. She had heard from Lin Ruiqing that the two were made to stand as punishment for fighting over food.

She thought it was such a pity that they didn't take a photo to commemorate the moment. Lin Ruiqing had agreed, but they decided to let the two save face.

'Knock knock'

The door to the ward opened, and Jing Yi poked her head in from outside, looking all innocent. "Is this the customer with order number 1234? Your meal has arrived."

The people in the ward couldn't help but smile at her strange behavior.

Jing Yi had sent a text message to Jing Zejun early in the morning, asking what they wanted to eat today. She had Aunt Wang prepare it and brought it over.

Jing Zejun was curious why Jing Yi was up so early today.

Then she heard an absurd explanation that was very in line with Jing Yi's character: she was hungry.

So, today's lunch was delivered by the little Jing delivery girl.

"It's my order. Thank you, delivery girl," Jing Zejun walked up and took the fully packed lunch from her hands.

Jing Zejun was a bit surprised and looked at the food Jing Yi was still carrying. "Why did you bring so much?"

How did she manage to bring so much food by herself?

Lin Ruiqing asked, "Why didn't you ask a few more people to help deliver?"

"It's not too bad. Everything looked so delicious, so I just packed it all up and brought it over," Jing Yi replied.

It was only when they laid out all the food in front of them that Jing Yi began to think that maybe she had brought a bit too much.

Jing Beicheng picked up a piece of fish for Lin Ruiqing, even removing the bones for her.

[Oh my god! The domineering CEO male lead is right beside me! Removing fish bones is such a male lead thing to do!]

Jing Beicheng's hand holding the chopsticks paused briefly, but he quickly resumed eating as if nothing had happened. Lin Ruiqing, however, felt a bit uncomfortable.

Jing Zejun looked up, her eyes filled with amusement.

Since she started interacting with Jing Beicheng and his wife, she had also discovered that Jing Beicheng was indeed a gentle and affectionate person when it came to Lin Ruiqing.

Yi Yi really understood her perspective!

"Yi Yi, do you want some fish?" Lin Ruiqing, wanting to interrupt Jing Yi's wandering thoughts, pointed at the cod in front of her, intending to pick up a piece for her.

"Auntie, you eat yours. Don't worry about me."

"I heard from your older brother that you've been out driving sports cars recently?" Jing Beicheng's original intention was to chat about daily life with his child, but since he hadn't interacted much with his daughter before, his tone was the same as when he spoke to Jing Zeyou and the others.

Jing Yi felt a bit nervous, thinking that Jing Beicheng might not approve of her engaging in such dangerous activities.

The grandmother at the orphanage had been very worried about her doing these things, so she always did what ordinary girls would do.

After all, there were so many children at the orphanage, and she didn't want to make the grandmother worry by letting her know about such dangerous hobbies.

Later, Jing Yi got used to this and acted the same way around Grandma Jing.

In fact, during her two years abroad, she had made some friends with similar interests, but she didn't dare tell Grandma Jing.

Just like now, she was afraid to tell Jing Beicheng and Lin Ruiqing about her hobbies.

Jing Zejun noticed that something was off about Jing Yi's mood and was about to interrupt.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just thought the car looked nice, all shiny and beautifully designed, so I took it out for a spin. Don't worry, I drove very slowly."

Jing Zejun was slightly taken aback. Jing Yi actually really liked that car.

Every time she talked about that sports car called 'Night', her eyes would light up.

Even Lin Ruiqing noticed that something was off with Jing Yi and glared at Jing Beicheng for his inability to communicate properly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.

"I actually think girls who drive sports cars are very cool. There's no rule saying girls can't drive sports cars."

Jing Yi looked up, her expression a bit confused, not understanding why Lin Ruiqing suddenly said this.

"Auntie, I..."

"Whether it's because it looks good or because you like it, they're all cool hobbies. Try this Xue Yan, Aunt Wang made it very tasty. Don't mind your uncle, he's old-fashioned and doesn't know how to express himself properly."

The world-renowned chairman of Hengjing Group, described as inarticulate and unable to express himself, Jing Beicheng didn't refute his wife's words and just nodded silently.

Jing Yi's eyes became watery, and she smiled sweetly.

[So, Auntie thinks driving sports cars is cool...]

Jing Beicheng cleared his throat a few times, wanting to say something more.

Lin Ruiqing and Jing Zejun's gazes turned to him simultaneously, and he swallowed his words again.

He hadn't meant to say anything else...

Then, Jing Beicheng's slightly cautious voice was heard at the dining table, "If you like it, you can buy a few more to keep at home. We have plenty of space anyway."

Jing Yi nodded, the smile in her eyes very gentle.

Lin Ruiqing glanced at him, "Is that all you're going to say to win her over?"

Jing Yi's eyes lit up, looking expectantly at Jing Beicheng.

He smiled helplessly. Was he, the chairman of Hengjing, really such a miser?

"I'll add money to your bank cards. Both Yi Yi and Junjun, buy whatever you like."

[As expected of a sugar daddy, he's not stingy with money at all!]

Jing Zejun and Jing Yi huddled together, laughing softly.

"Thank you, Dad!" "Thank you, Uncle!"

The corners of Jing Beicheng's mouth turned up slightly. Having another daughter call him Dad wasn't bad at all.
