Mu Jiu went straight to the hospital after causing a commotion at the Bao Family.
Pushing open the door, he saw his mother, Mu’s Mother, leaning against the bedhead eating fruit.
Her complexion was poor, and she looked ill.
But when she saw Mu Jiu, she was as affectionate as ever: "Jiu, I’ve told you, there’s no need to come every day! I’m doing very well here, with food and shelter, and plenty of nurses to talk to."
The kinder she was, the sadder Mu Jiu felt in his heart.
He laid his head on his mother’s knee, choking with emotion: "I’m useless! I’m sorry, Mother."
Mu’s Mother, stroking his glossy black hair, smiled indifferently: "I’m already so old, it’s all right! Besides, I’ve lived better days in these years than I ever dared to dream of before."
Mu Jiu was still upset, the heroic man actually shedding tears.
Mu’s Mother, letting go, said: "I’m only worried about you! Those around you, I find them all unreliable, all as impulsive as you are. You always need to find someone with a softer temper to balance you out!"
She said one thing, and Mu Jiu agreed to everything.
As long as his mother was happy, he would agree to everything.
In the end, Mu’s Mother said again: "I still think Ruanruan is good."
At that, Mu Jiu lost his temper.
He looked up, his eyes sharp as blades: "What’s so good about her? Her heart is so cruel!"
"Have you been thinking about her all these years? When you were sick, did that girl ever come to visit you?"
Mu’s Mother smiled faintly: "It was just a passing acquaintance! We cannot expect others to treat us well."
Mu Jiu faltered, unable to speak.
Ultimately, he couldn’t bear to speak of Su Ruanruan’s reluctance to help, for fear of hurting his mother’s feelings.
While they were talking, a nurse came in from outside.
"The old lady has woken up." The nurse took Mu’s Mother’s temperature.
Mu’s Mother seized the opportunity to ask: "Did someone come by while I was asleep?"
She pointed to the nutritional supplements by the bed.
The nurse glanced at them and then said with a smile: "Miss Su came to see you! You were asleep at the time, and Miss Su didn’t want us to wake you."
Mu Jiu’s heart trembled.
The nurse naturally said: "Su Ruanruan, the one from the Gu Family."
Envy was palpable in her voice.
Mu Jiu was thoroughly shaken.
Su Ruanruan had been here?
Then why didn’t she say so earlier? Why did she let him berate her?
Mu Jiu was filled with regret.
His mother glanced at him: "I knew I hadn’t misjudged her."
She took the items Su Ruanruan had brought, cherishing them.
"These are really nice! Jiu, read them for me, they seem to be in a foreign language!"
Mu Jiu let the nurse read them.
He didn’t understand foreign languages either.
The nurse read to them, and finally said: "This is a very good brand from abroad, not easy to find."
Mu’s Mother was even more reluctant to consume them.
Mu Jiu became restless: "They’re bought for you to use, it’s a waste not to."
He thought of going out, thought of visiting the Bao Family again to ask that girl what was going on?
But just as he reached the door, a man who looked like a doctor was being escorted in by a crowd.
It was none other than Zhou Zizhuo.
Zhou Zizhuo was known as the number one surgeon in the world.
His arrival sent the entire hospital into a frenzy, and the director was profoundly honored.
They all thought that it was because Mu Jiu had thrown billions at him, but Dr. Zhou nonchalantly said: "My junior sister, Su Ruanruan, has some old ties with this lady, and asked me to stay a few more days in Jiangcheng."
Everyone in the hospital was stunned.
Miss Su certainly had significant influence!
Seeing Zhou Zizhuo, Mu Jiu’s mind went blank.
He stuttered: "Why did you suddenly come?"
He tried to assert his presence: "As long as you’re willing to do the surgery, I’m willing to pay any amount."
Zhou Zizhuo, in a white coat, looking dapper and impressive.
He did a simple check-up on Mu’s Mother, then said with a light smile: "Let’s talk about the surgery fees with our family Ruanruan."
