1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 261 Mother-in-law's First Impression
September 1st, 11:00 am.

Wujiaba Airport in Southern Xinjiang.

"Boom boom boom!"

A passenger plane approached from afar and landed on a runway that was hundreds of meters long. Its tires left a deep black mark on the ground, and the engine's propellers stirred up gusts of wind, roaring on the empty runway.

The cabin door of the passenger plane slowly opened, and uniformed flight attendants gradually appeared in front of the cabin door.

The sparse number of passengers got off the plane one by one. Among the crowd, two ladies carrying suitcases were walking, attracting the attention of many comrades.

"We've arrived in just one morning. The plane is so fast. If we took the train, it would probably take three or four days to get here."

Jiang Wan raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight in southern Xinjiang, looked at the advanced aircraft in front of her, and sighed softly.

"It should be the Ning family's arrangement. The leader of this field research group is Ning Qiuyue, and Kaiyan is the deputy leader."

Liu Xiaoli guessed that it was Ning Qiuyue from the Ning family who forced Cheng Kaiyan onto the field research list. Ning Qiuyue was to blame for Cheng Kaiyan's accident this time, and it was normal for her to make these arrangements out of her guilty conscience.

"Deputy team leader?"

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her daughter was not lying to her. She said calmly, "It's all thanks to Cheng Kaiyan that I haven't been on a plane yet."

Liu Xiaoli just remained silent. It seemed that her mother had a very bad impression of Cheng Kaiyan. The role she could play was very small, and might even have a counterproductive effect.

It would be better to let my mother and Kaiyan interact with each other instead of getting caught in the middle.

As they were talking, the two had already gotten off the plane and were heading towards the airport exit.

Walking and chatting.

"Why didn't you invite your Aunt Yuxiu this time?"

Jiang Wan suddenly asked. Although she didn't like Cheng Kaiyan, Xu Yuxiu was her friend and bestie for many years after all.

Seeing that her best friend's son was in trouble, but the other party seemed to be unaware of it, Jiang Wan was still worried about her.

"It's better not to let Aunt Xiu know. Aunt Xiu can't stand such a shock."

Liu Xiaoli smoothed her sideburns that were messed up by the strong wind behind her ears again and sighed.

"That's true."

After they left the airport, their steps became more hurried.

I asked for directions, took the bus, and rushed to the provincial hospital.

It's already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Wan was already extremely hungry, her eyes were dizzy and her steps were unsteady.

She originally wanted to go to the restaurant to have a meal first and then go to the hospital.

But seeing his daughter's calm face with a worried look, he still risked his life to accompany the gentleman and move forward.

"I hope he's okay. Also...what's the kid like now?"

Although Jiang Wan didn't like Cheng Kaiyan, she still had some expectations for the child her daughter was talking about.

……

Provincial hospital.

The inpatient department is always exceptionally quiet in the afternoon, as most doctors, nurses, and patients' families go to eat at this time.

There are only a handful of people left here except the patients.

The corridor outside the ward is long and deep, like a tunnel leading to the end of the world. The windows at the end are illuminated by the sunlight, and there seems to be a new world there, symbolizing the road to health.

There were several figures standing at the door of the intensive care unit.

"According to the time, Xiaoli should be in southern Xinjiang by now."

Jiang Ting sat in a wheelchair, and glanced through the half-open gap of the door at the young man sleeping quietly on the hospital bed, and thought softly.

"The flight for this morning usually arrives around 11 o'clock. He should be on the way or having dinner by now."

Ning Qiuyue explained somewhat unnaturally that she only now realized that Cheng Kaiyan and her niece were not in that situation, but were actually a couple with Jiang Ting's niece.

This made her feel a little less guilty.

But does Jia Jia know this?

If he knew and was interested in Cheng Kaiyan, that would be terrible.

Alas... Now is not the time to think about this. Let's make plans after Cheng Kaiyan wakes up.

While the two were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

Two figures with their backs to the sun came towards this side, and their figures gradually became clearer.

Jiang Ting frowned, she seemed to see a figure that shouldn't be there. Her biological sister Jiang Wan.

Why is she here?
"Aunt? Why are you here too?"

"A-Ting?"

The mother and daughter asked the question in unison.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's go in first."

Jiang Ting shook her head. Ning Qiuyue behind her saw this and hurriedly grasped the wheelchair handle and pushed her into the ward.

Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Wan followed behind.

The strong and pungent smell of medicine in the ward made the two of them frown subconsciously. When they looked up, they saw a tall and thin young man lying unconscious on the bed.

Because it was summer and the weather was hot, he was worried that the wound would become inflamed and festered, so he was not wearing any clothes on his upper body. His entire upper body was covered with breathable white gauze. In addition, his arms and shoulders were also wrapped in white bandages, and there was an unknown potion hanging on the back of both hands.

"What a serious injury!"

Jiang Wan was secretly shocked. What on earth had happened to Cheng Kaiyan?

At this moment, the girl beside him could no longer control the sadness and pain in her heart, and walked towards Cheng Kaiyan.

"How could this happen...why is it so serious?"

Liu Xiaoli knelt on the cold floor in front of the hospital bed, taking in all the injuries on Cheng Kaiyan's body, her voice filled with tears.

She didn't dare touch the man on the hospital bed and could only stare at his familiar face with red eyes and tearful eyes.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but sigh.

Mother Jiang Wan slowly walked forward, half squatted down, placed her palm on her daughter's head, and gently stroked it.

Then he looked at the young man whose head was buried in the pillow, with only half of his face exposed.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and regular facial features, he looks very similar to my old friend Xu Yuxiu.

'No wonder Xiaoli likes him so much. This face alone can charm many girls.

Now that he is ill, his pale face has a melancholy and sickly temperament, which makes people feel even more distressed.'

Jiang Wan thought to herself that even if she disliked Cheng Kaiyan, she couldn't find any fault with his appearance and temperament.

However, this is not enough.

"Let's not disturb Cheng Kaiyan's rest. Let's go outside and talk."

Jiang Wan patted her daughter's shoulder and stood up.

"That's how it should be."

Liu Xiaoli wiped away her tears, calmed down, and followed everyone out of the ward. She looked at the door a few more times with reluctance before closing it.

Led by Ning Qiuyue, everyone came to the next ward.

While drinking tea, everyone talked in detail about the whole incident from beginning to end.

"That's how it is..."

Jiang Ting ended the topic and looked at Liu Xiaoli, her indifferent face showing a frightening calmness.

She was waiting for her niece's decision and was willing to endure any scolding and emotions.

But... apparently she miscalculated.

"I see. This...is not your fault."

Liu Xiaoli came out of the thrilling scenes that everyone was talking about. She couldn't help but tremble at the mere mention of the scenes they were describing.

What’s more, this is my aunt who has experienced it personally.

The girl raised her chin, not blaming anyone, but rather feeling proud.

"He not only saved my aunt, but also saved hundreds of lives. Comrade Xiao Cheng is a great example and a hero."

"Yes, he is a hero, a great hero."

Jiang Ting was struck by Liu Xiaoli's words. She pursed her lips and said with absolute certainty.

Jiang Wan on the side fell silent.

"It's just...he, why did he let me down alone?"

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Xiaoli, who had been silent for a long time with her head down, spoke in an inexplicable voice.

The whispering sound, as thin as a mosquito's buzz, made everyone's heart tremble.
