93 Nervous
Le Wan told Zhai Jing about Nanny Zhang’s past. After that, she complained,
“Indeed, men are all bad, except for those in my family.”
For some reason, Zhai Jing felt as if he had been shot in the knee even though he had not done anything.
“Not all men are so bad. Madam Zhang was just unlucky to have met a scumbag.”
He didn’t forget to defend himself.
“As a man, if you can’t keep your promise and take up your responsibility, what kind of man are you?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover,” said Le Wan. “That’s why girls must keep their eyes open. When Nanny Zhang was with that scumbag, she didn’t expect him to be so trashy.”
Feeling that this topic was getting more and more dangerous, Zhai Jing tactfully did not continue the conversation. Instead, he said,
“I see that Madam Zhang isn’t young anymore, is it about time for her to retire?”
“She’s turning 50 this year and retired last month. That’s why Ms. Zhang is receiving two salaries now. One is her salary, and the other is her pension,” Le Wan said with a smile. “She’s so tough now.”
However, to Madam Zhang, money was just paper. For so many years, she had been living and eating at the Le family’s house. For clothes and makeup, Mama Le would also buy some for her, so she didn’t have much need for money on normal days. To thank her for so many years of effort, the Le family also promised to take care of her in her old age.
“Nanny Zhang said that she raised me with all her might, so she won’t follow my father and brothers in the future. She’ll follow me wherever I go.” When Le Wan said this, she even deliberately glanced at Zhai Jing.
Zhai Jing nodded.
This is what I should do.
In Zhai Jing’s opinion, Madam Zhang probably said this because she was still worried about Le Wan.
The two of them chatted and laughed until they reached the hospital.
In the ward, Mother Zhai took a look at the time. she nervously checked her hair and tugged at her clothes. To meet Le Wan, she had changed out of her hospital gown and put on her most presentable clothes.
The patient next to her saw her like this and laughed at her.
“You’ve been tugging around the whole afternoon. Your clothes are almost torn.”
Mother Zhai also realized that she had been too nervous and felt a little embarrassed.
“I was just afraid that I would crumple my clothes and be a little rude to others.”
The ward mate consoled her.
“Why would you dislike a girl who could be brought back by Zhai Jing?”
The two of them had been in the same ward for a few months. After spending time with each other, the ward mate knew Zhai Jing’s situation very well. When he saw his expression when he mentioned Le Wan, he knew his feelings for this girl.
They all trusted Zhai Jing’s judgment and knew that the girl he liked would not have a bad personality. Moreover, Le Wan stood up for him when he found out about the medical dispute, which proved that she was a kind and righteous girl.
After hearing the patient’s words, Mother Zhai was happy but also a little bitter. Even if they had not met, she knew that Le Wan was a very good girl. However, it was also because of this that she could not be rude to her.
With the mother and son’s current situation, they were a burden in the eyes of others. Not to mention getting close, it would be a light punishment to avoid them. However, Le Wan didn’t mind and helped them a lot. They were afraid that they weren’t worthy of such a good girl.
She guessed that this was probably the reason why her son didn’t express his feelings for her. It was precisely because he cared too much that he was so careful in everything. Aware of her son’s thoughts, his mother also became cautious.
“Miss Le, Mr. Jing.”
While they were waiting for the elevator, Chen Wei happened to come back with some things, and he greeted them warmly when he saw them.
He saw that the two of them were carrying things, so he reached out to help them.
“This is not heavy.” Le Wan moved his hand away, indicating that she did not need his help.
In addition to preparing some nourishing food for Mother Zhai, she also prepared some regular skincare products. After all, she was here to visit her, so she still had to be polite.
She asked Chen Wei,
“How’s sister Yue ‘er’s recovery?”
“She’s much more energetic now. The doctor said that she’s recovering well and can be discharged in a few days.”
Chen Wei was also very happy when his daughter’s condition was mentioned.
“I still have to thank Miss Le and the rest. I’m taking my medicine on time every day and I pay special attention to my body. I guarantee that I’ll be healthy before the surgery.”
