Mu Jiu went to the hospital.
He pushed open the door of the ward and saw Zhou Susu busying herself.
Mu Jiu was displeased, "What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to take care of Auntie," Zhou Susu was all modesty and virtue.
Old Lady Mu was not foolish.
Such a beautiful girl, with features somewhat resembling Miss Su.
It must certainly be the woman his son was keeping.
Old Lady Mu looked at her son.
Mu Jiu then harshly said to Zhou Susu, "You’re not a doctor. What use are you here?"
Zhou Susu, failing to ingratiate herself, stormed out with a twist of her body.
Her figure had a seductive charm as she left.
Just after she walked out, Old Lady Mu said, "A woman like her will only bring ruin to our family."
"Who said I was going to marry her?" Mu Jiu sat down next to his mother and handed her a peeled apple.
Old Lady Mu took it in her hand but did not eat.
She said, "If you’re not planning to marry her, why are you living together?"
Mu Jiu did not respond.
Old Lady Mu added, "Jiu, I might not know the fashions of city folk, but I do know one thing – it’s a man’s duty to take responsibility if he sleeps with a girl."
Mu Jiu was very filial.
He hummed in agreement, "Got it."
"What do you mean ’got it’?" Old Lady Mu sighed, "If you did, you wouldn’t be involved with such a woman! Jiu, if it were someone like Miss Su, I’d die happy."
"What’s all this about dying!" Mu Jiu was unhappy hearing that.
He said, "I’ve already asked someone to find Doctor Zhou! You just live a good long life till a hundred, and see me bring you two grandsons."
"Granddaughters are fine too," Old Lady Mu said with a smile, then sternly looked at her son, "But once you’re married, you need to temper that temper of yours. No more fighting and killing, it’s not good for your descendants."
Old Lady Mu curiously asked, "Which family owes us a favor this time? Is it Academician Su?"
Academician Su is Su Peiming, Su Ruanruan’s father.
Mu Jiu couldn’t help laughing, "Academician Su passed away several years ago, you’ve forgotten again."
"Oh, my memory," Old Lady Mu held her forehead, "Then isn’t Miss Su all alone now? Jiu, why don’t you bring her here to stay?"
Mu Jiu was half amused, half exasperated.
He said, "Have you thought that maybe she already has someone?"
— And that someone is a super-rich pretty boy!
Old Lady Mu fell silent.
Mu Jiu tucked her in, feeling a bit sad inside.
A blood clot had formed in his mother’s brain, pressing on her nerves.
Lately, she was becoming more and more confused.
The doctor said that if she doesn’t have surgery within a month, she could go blind or even die.
Mu Jiu was very frustrated, and after Old Lady Mu fell asleep, he went out to smoke...
He’ll be coming to Jiang City in four days.
When the time comes, he’d bind him and bring him here if necessary!
These four days, Mu Jiu did not have it easy.
She had made a bold claim at the Bao Family house that she could arrange a meeting with Zhou Zizhuo.
But for several days now, Zhou Zizhuo’s assistant hadn’t given a definitive response.
Xia Minglan was very anxious.
But she believed that once Zhou Zizhuo arrived in Jiang City, she would find a way.
Her family still had some influence!
Today, Madame Bao invited her to dine at the Bao Family home.
The old Madame Bao feigned illness and did not show.
Bao Ziqi was indifferent.
Bao Jingyuan, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic, but what made Xia Minglan uncomfortable was that Bao Jingyuan mentioned Su Ruanruan five times in every ten sentences.
Bao Jingyuan smiled sweetly, "Sister Minglan, you know so much and have been to so many countries, not like the country bumpkin that used to live in our house."
"Jingyuan," scolded Madam Bao, "Don’t speak nonsense."
Bao Jingyuan stuck out her tongue, "What’s not to say! Su Ruanruan lacks sophistication and flirts around! Now that Brother Gu Ze has a new girlfriend, who is a movie star, all of Jiang City is waiting to laugh at Su Ruanruan’s misfortune!"
