These words made Lauren come to a realization.

Especially Xiao Mu’s serious appearance.

Just because of Xiao Ye’s current situation, having a wedding was a joke. A disabled person who will not live long getting married.

This was what they thought in their hearts!

No wonder Xiao Ye was so cold.

Lauren did not say anything. Although she felt it was unfair, she did not want to have a wedding with Xiao Ye.

This was the first wedding in her life; she should not hold it with someone she did not love.

She was only nineteen years old, and she could not even get a marriage certificate.

When Xiao Ye’s leg recovered, she would be able to leave immediately if there was no wedding. Once she leave this city, no one would know who she was.

However, it would be different if she held a wedding.

A big family like the Xiao family and Xiao Ye’s current situation would cause a sensation.

“We will hold the wedding, but I still have to go to school and your brother’s leg is still being treated. We want to hold the wedding after everything is better.” Lauren pursed her lips and replied.

Little did she know that this made Gu Mei look at her differently.

She had originally thought that Lauren was just a brainless and wild country girl. She had never thought that Lauren would speak up for Xiao Ye. Such reasonable words were really hard to refute.

Master agreed with Lauren. “What Ren said makes sense. Let’s hold the wedding later.”

From the looks of it, the two of them were getting along well. If Lauren’s arrival could make Xiao Ye better, then it would not be too late to hold the wedding later.

If he did not get better, as long as his grandson spent the rest of his time with Lauren and did not hold the wedding, it would not affect her in the future.

Xiao Mu said untimely, “Brother, you’ve seen a lot of doctors these years. I don’t want you to suffer like this anymore…”

Tsk! His words sounded so nice, but in reality, what was he talking about?

In all reality, he was a cripple. If he could not be cured, then he should stop trying.

“The process will be tough, but I found a very good doctor for him this time,” Lauren said indifferently.

“What doctor? It can’t be an unlicensed doctor from the countryside in the village! You have to be clear. You are a member of our Xiao family now. If you hurt Xiao Ye because of this, it won’t be good!”

Gu Mei frowned and said in a seemingly caring manner.

She has become the target now.

Lauren replied indifferently, “It’s not an unlicensed doctor, it’s the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs. I don’t know if you have heard of her. Since I’m already here, I don’t want to lose my husband at such a young age!”

Lauren’s last sentence was rather direct. They spoke one after another, making her feel annoyed.

It was better to be more direct and clarify her stance and attitude.

She also wanted to let them know that she, Lauren, was not a pushover that they could easily deal with!

“Really? Ren, can you get the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs here?”

Gu Mei and Xiao Mu did not reply. On the other hand, the old man looked at Lauren with joy and excitement.

From the moment Xiao Ye introduced these people to her, Lauren knew Xiao Ye’s situation in this family.

“Yes, I just happen to know her.”

“That’s great!”

The old man was even more excited than before. She even saw the old man’s reddened eyes.

It seemed that the old man had put in a lot of effort for Xiao Ye over the years.

Gu Mei and Xiao Mu did not have any intention of talking any further during this breakfast.

As for Xiao Ran…

She did not speak from the beginning to the end, nor did she greet her.

When the old man spoke to her, she only nodded and shook her head.

This puzzled Lauren. She brought Xiao Ye back to his room and asked him, “Your sister… is she mute?”

Otherwise, why did she not say anything?

“Yes, she was seriously ill when she was young and couldn’t speak,” Xiao Ye replied her.

However, Xiao Ye’s deep stare came with it.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” It was sudden and strange.

“Your observational ability is very strong.” This was Xiao Ye’s evaluation of her.

Lauren smiled and said, “My identity is clear here. The Lu family is not well-liked here. I didn’t come here voluntarily. If I didn’t observe more carefully, would I be waiting to die?”

This was a skill that she had trained for ten years. Otherwise, she would have died a long time ago.

“Why don’t I see your father?”

There were some things that Lauren knew she should not ask, but since she wanted to live here for some time, it was better for her to find out.

“Out of town,” Xiao Ye said coldly.

“Then… What about your mother?” Lauren asked again.

“The lunatic asylum.”

Lauren did not know what to say at that instant. She had guessed something was up but did not expect that reality was crueler than expected..
