Meng Chuyue also said, "Uncle, Aunt, you should go inside now, don’t catch a cold. Xiao Jun will still need you to take care of him after he wakes up."
Zou’s parents then went in.
The rest of their family also crowded in.
They were all ordinary people and had never seen such a high-end hospital room that was even more comfortable than a superior hotel; their eyes gleamed with amazement.
They murmured in admiration in hushed tones.
Soon, Shen Ci had someone send over some delicious food.
Eldest Uncle Zou couldn’t help asking the person who brought it, "These things aren’t cheap, are they?"
The person smiled, "They’re not cheap indeed. All of this together costs over three hundred."
Meals for over a dozen people, all expensive dishes, plus fruits and drinks certainly add up to that much.
Eldest Uncle Zou clicked his tongue and silently prayed that Zou Xiaojun would not get past the critical phase.
That way, the wealthy Shen Ci would definitely compensate his younger brother a large sum of money.
Knowing his own mother’s character, he could at least get more than half of that money.
If played well, maybe even the whole amount.
He kept praying silently, but unfortunately, heaven was not on his side. In just over two hours, Zou Xiaojun woke up.
Shen Ci came over to share the good news, "Xiao Jun has woken up. The doctor says his condition is better than expected, but it will still be over two hours before he is completely out of danger."
Mr. Zou and Mrs. Zou cried tears of joy.
But Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue saw that the others... including Old Madam Zou, all seemed a bit unhappy.
Heh, it seemed there were quite a few people wanting to cash in on Xiao Jun’s life.
Perhaps, the plan could change a bit?
He went to discuss it with Zou Xiaojun.
He thought Zou Xiaojun would be very upset when he found out, but little did he know, he said, "I knew they were all along, why else would I have joined in on Grandma’s antics? Alright, I’ll listen to you, let’s do it your way."
Since the other side was ruthless, why should he be sentimental? These wolf-like relatives naturally all had to be driven away.
Shen Ci talked it over with Meng Chuyue, then went back and said to Mr. Zou and Mrs. Zou, "Uncle, Aunt, although Xiao Jun hasn’t completely passed the dangerous period, generally speaking, this means he’s out of the woods. You don’t need to worry any longer. As you know, I’m developing in Imperial and Muyang will be moving there soon as well. We don’t want to leave Xiao Jun alone here, but since he’s your only son, you probably don’t wish to be separated from him either. So, I wanted to ask you, would you like to come with us?"
Mr. Zou and Mrs. Zou pondered silently.
But everyone knew that they were tempted, otherwise, they would have refused straight away.
Indeed, who wouldn’t refuse such an offer—Shen Ci was so rich, and by taking them with him, it implied that he would take care of their work and life. They were practically soaring to the heavens.
If Zou’s relatives and friends wished well for Mr. and Mrs. Zou, they would have definitely conveyed their congratulations. But these were all malicious-minded relatives brought by Old Madam Zou.
They only calculated their own interests.
Their first thought was to follow along.
But then they considered that the relationship with Zou Xiaojun’s family was not good. If they went to Imperial, Shen Ci might arrange jobs for them, but he would certainly not do anything else.
They would not be able to benefit much and it was better to exchange Zou Xiaojun’s life for money.
So they remained silent.
Seeing this, Shen Ci laughed and said, "Uncle, Aunt, you don’t need to rush to answer me, take your time to think. When you’ve decided, come find me in the other hospital room next to Xiao Jun’s."
Ah, Shen Ci was really fucking rich, he had actually reserved two empty hospital rooms.
Mr. and Mrs. Zou didn’t take long to decide to accept.
They did so not only because they knew Shen Ci was helping their family, but also because they were fed up with being oppressed by Old Madam Zou and her band of relatives and friends.
They didn’t want to be oppressed all their lives, nor did they want their three children to suffer the same plight.
They decided to go and express their stance to Shen Ci.
