Chapter 145 Mother and Daughter Reunited

Upon arriving at the hospital, Mrs. Li was still in the operating room. Jiang Xixi helped Professor Li to the door of the operating room.

"Professor, please sit down and rest for a while. I heard from the doctor that Madam seems to have just gone into the operating room, and it will probably be a while before she is fully recovered." Jiang Xixi looked at Professor Li with worry on her face.

Professor Li wasn't in good health either; after walking such a long distance, his legs were visibly trembling.

For his health, Jiang Xixi helped Professor Li to sit down on a chair.

The wait outside the operating room felt exceptionally long. After a long time, a nurse finally emerged from the operating room, looking very anxious.

Where are Xue Shuyi's family members?

Upon hearing the name, Professor Li quickly got up and ran towards the nurses, panting heavily.

"Nurse, has something happened to my wife? How serious is her condition...?"

Before Professor Li could finish speaking, the nurse interrupted her impatiently.

"Don't say anything yet, listen to me. The patient's condition is critical. We need a family member to sign a critical condition notice. Hurry up. Who are you to her? Can you sign it? Be quick. Time is of the essence in saving the patient's life."

“I am her husband, I can sign, I will sign, I will sign.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Li felt a pang of sorrow and pain. When he signed, his hand trembled so badly that the signature looked like a dog's scribbles.

You should know that Professor Li is famous for his beautiful handwriting at Kyoto University!

"Also, hurry up and pay the bill. We chose to treat the patient because they really couldn't wait any longer, but the medical bills can't be delayed, so you should go and pay the bill right away."

After the nurse finished speaking, she hurriedly went back inside.

Professor Li looked at the closed door again, and this time he really couldn't hold on any longer. He lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Xixi quickly helped him up.

"Professor, please don't panic. Madam is being resuscitated, and the doctors will do their best. You need to hold on for now. Otherwise, if Madam is saved but you collapse, who will take care of her?"

Jiang Xixi helped Professor Li sit down in a chair, and seeing that Professor Li had listened to her words, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all my fault. Shuyi's health was already poor. I shouldn't have let her come with me when I was sent down to the countryside. She has suffered for so many years."

Jiang Xixi listened to Professor Li's words full of repentance and didn't know what to say.

Professor Li and his wife were a loving couple, but according to Professor Li's description, his wife's illness was mostly caused by overwork or psychological stress, and this kind of illness is the most difficult to cure.

well!

"Professor, please stay here for a while. I'll go pay the fees. Otherwise, it might delay Madam's treatment."

"Xixi, thank you so much for today." Professor Li's tone was full of gratitude; he really didn't know how to thank his student.

To be honest, Jiang Xixi isn't the kind of person who is kind without expecting anything in return.

She had her own ulterior motives for doing this today.

In her previous life, Jiang Xixi had met Professor Li. At that time, he was one of the most famous economics professors in China. He led China to make a fortune during a major economic crisis in the 21st century, laying the foundation for China's rapid development over the next twenty years.

Normally, someone like that would never have crossed paths with Jiang Xixi.

But an unexpected encounter led to a heart-to-heart conversation between him and Jiang Xixi. He told her that it's never too late to learn, and the best time to study is now. As long as you are interested in something, then work hard at it.

Inspired by her, Jiang Xixi recovered from that failure and created an even larger business empire.

But when Jiang Xixi finally achieved success and wanted to find the old man again, she heard the news that he had passed away, following his beloved wife...

Whether for her past self or for the future development of the country, she wanted to help this old man.

The hospital was crowded, and the payment windows were packed. Jiang Xixi was getting quite anxious as she waited in line.

Just then, she heard a familiar voice.

"Xixi? Why are you at the hospital? Are you sick? Tell your aunt, and your aunt will take you to see a doctor." It was Mrs. Tan who spoke; she looked somewhat haggard at the moment.

But upon seeing Jiang Xixi at the hospital, her face immediately showed an expression of extreme anxiety.

"Mrs. Tan? I'm fine."

Jiang Xixi told Mrs. Tan about her teacher's situation.

"Your teacher?"

Madam Tan raised an eyebrow. Since he was Xixi's teacher, she could do him a favor.

"You mean your teacher's wife is still in the operating room?" Mrs. Tan asked rhetorically.

Jiang Xixi didn't understand, but she still nodded.

Seeing that the queue in front of her had moved forward a bit, Jiang Xixi quickly followed.

"Xixi, don't wait in line. I happen to know some old friends at the hospital. I'll ask them to help me take a look."

"Xiao Li, arrange for Dr. William to help me out," Madam Tan instructed her secretary.

After making the arrangements, Madam Tan took Jiang Xixi's hand and looked pleading.

"Xixi, your aunt knows that you promised to give me some time to think, but the situation has changed. Can you do your aunt a favor?"

"It's your mother, my second sister. Because of your loss back then, she was mentally unstable for a while. This time, the nanny at home couldn't keep an eye on her, and she hurt herself. Moreover, the doctor said that her will to live is not strong. I want you to go and talk to her. Maybe a miracle will happen."

"Please, just consider it helping your aunt out."

Heaven knows the devastation Mrs. Tan felt upon returning home to learn that her second sister had failed in her self-harm attempt and fallen into a coma.

Jiang Xixi felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this news.

Mother?

Mother?

Mom~

Jiang Xixi silently repeated the name in her mind, her expression momentarily blank.

To be honest, she didn't know how to face her.

Will she like me?

Will she like me the way my mother liked Jiang Yurou?

However, regardless of whether she liked her or not, Jiang Xixi still wanted to see her.

Because in Mrs. Tan's description, she seemed to really love herself.

Even if that's not the case, just seeing her once would put my mind at ease.

The ward that Mrs. Tan booked was naturally a VIP ward. The small ward was fully equipped, and on the pale sheets lay a woman who looked somewhat similar to Jiang Xixi.

The woman's complexion was almost the same color as the sheets beneath her.

She was very thin; that was Jiang Xixi's first impression of her.

After bringing Jiang Xixi to the hospital, Madam Tan left the ward, saying she wanted to give the mother and daughter some alone time.

To be honest, Jiang Xixi felt relieved after seeing Madam Tan leave.

She looked at the woman on the bed, slowly sat down on the chair beside her, and began to speak to her softly.

"I heard you're my mother..."

Jiang Xixi slowly recounted her experiences over the years. She was very calm, and even when she talked about things that were bad for her, she narrated them calmly, as if she were telling someone else's story.

From an angle unseen by Jiang Xixi, a tear rolled down Tan Huili's cheek, and the little finger of her left hand, which was placed at her side, twitched slightly...
