Chapter 389 What Do You Know?

After Chen Limin left, Fang Hua was still completely confused: "What's wrong with Chen Limin? Why did she suddenly say something so nonsensical?"

Jiang Zhizhi carried the children's clothes in one hand and took Fang Hua's arm with the other as they entered the house: "Don't pay any attention to her. I think she just wants to show off. She's going to see Sister Song Man."

Fang Hua thought about it and realized that this was the only possibility: "I guess so. I hadn't heard that she was going to the south before. With her personality, she would definitely argue with Song Man again if she went there."

Remembering what Jiang Zhizhi had said about Chen Limin, she couldn't help but laugh again: "You really hit a nerve with Chen Limin. What she cares about most is Song Dong's two children, who are both in Beijing, and she's barely seen them."

"He deserved it!"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Don't worry about her. Let's just live our lives."

For others, time flies by, but for Jiang Zhizhi, every day feels like rolling on a knife's edge—difficult and endless.

Shang Xingzhou recovered well. After staying in the hospital for ten days, he was discharged and stayed at Shang Shiying's home.

On the day of her discharge, Jiang Zhizhi took half a day off to accompany Shang Xingzhou home. She also asked Fang Hua to take Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang to visit Shang Xingzhou.

Shang Xingzhou was astonished when he saw the two fair-skinned little figures: "Little Zhou Ji and Shang Shang? My God, they are so good-looking."

He stared at Xiao Zhouji for a long time, until Xiao Zhouji shyly turned her head and hid in Fang Hua's arms, before he exclaimed in shock, "Xiao Zhouji really looks just like my brother-in-law, except he's fairer."

After saying that, she immediately changed the subject, looking at Shangshang: "Shangshang is so beautiful, like a little princess."

He was at a loss for words and didn't know how to praise her; in her eyes, she was simply beautiful, very beautiful.

Today, Shangshang wore a pink dress with a circle of light yellow ducks embroidered by Fang Hua on the hem. There was even a cute little duck embroidered on her chest. Her hair was a little thin, but she still stubbornly tied it into two little braids, with a little rabbit crocheted by Fang Hua in front of the braids.

Make the little girl even cuter and more adorable.

Shang Shang looked at Shang Xingzhou curiously for a while, then reached out to ask Shang Xingzhou, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to hug her.

Shang Shiying chuckled from the side, "Our little darling isn't shy with strangers anymore? She even wants her uncle to hold her! But her uncle can't hold her, her uncle's leg is injured."

Shang Shang stared wide-eyed at Shang Shiying with curiosity, then tilted her little head to look at Shang Xingzhou, as if she understood. Suddenly, she called out, "Dou Dou, Dou Dou, hug me."

The little arm reached out again, insisting that Shang Xingzhou hug her.

Helpless, Jiang Zhizhi could only pull up a stool and sit next to Shang Xingzhou, letting Shang Shang sit on her lap so she could see Shang Xingzhou up close.

Shang Shang was overjoyed. She hurriedly took Shang Xingzhou's hand, gripped his fingers tightly, and grinned, "Dou Dou, Dou..."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and corrected, "It's Uncle, not Dou Dou."

Shang Shang didn't care about any of that and kept shouting in her own pronunciation.

Shang Xingzhou found it very amusing and even reached out to gently touch Shang Shang's little face, but he didn't dare to use too much force, as it was too delicate and he was afraid that he would break it if he used too much force.

Shang Shang was overjoyed, giggling and her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.

Shang Shiying sighed from the side, "It seems that our Shang Shang really likes Xing Zhou, probably because Xing Zhou is good-looking."

Bian Suxi also thought so: "Our Shangshang just likes good-looking people, so she must think her uncle is good-looking."

With two children around, the adults were busy entertaining them and had no time to chat.

After lunch, Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua took the two children back to take a nap.

After everyone left, Shang Shiying said to Bian Suxi with a puzzled look, "Zhizhi has lost a lot of weight recently. I just saw her arms, and they are frighteningly thin."

Bian Suxi also noticed: "I don't know why, but sometimes when I look at Zhizhi, her eyes always seem a little sad. When she notices me looking at her, she immediately smiles and looks back at me, as if I'm seeing things."

"Because of this, I've been secretly observing Zhizhi several times today. Is she hiding something that's making her sad from us?"

Shang Xingzhou was shocked, then quickly lowered his head, nervously gripping his teacup and daring not to utter a sound.

Shang Shiying shook her head: "I hadn't noticed that. I just noticed that the child has lost a lot of weight recently. Is the experimental group encountering some difficulties? Or is it something going on at work?"

She didn't think much of it, after all, the Zhou family treated Zhizhi very well, even better than their own daughter.

No one in the courtyard would bully her.

Bian Suxi also felt down: "Seeing Zhizhi trying so hard to hide her emotions made me very sad, and I felt like I was completely useless and couldn't help her at all."

Shang Shiying quickly comforted her, "Don't think like that. If it's work-related, she definitely wouldn't tell us. Besides, researchers are under a lot of pressure. We just need to do our job well from the back."

Bian Suxi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because Xingzhou is back and she is worried about Xiye that she has something on her mind?"

Shang Shiying nodded: "That's possible."

After saying that, he turned to look at Shang Xingzhou: "Xingzhou, what's going on with your brother-in-law?"

Shang Xingzhou looked up at Shang Shiying and hurriedly said, "It's fine, and it's a secret, so I can't say more."

Shang Shiying was very confused: "What's wrong with not saying more? We won't leak any secrets. We just want to ask if someone is doing well, and we can't even do that?"

Shang Xingzhou pursed his lips: "No, Aunt, you'd better not ask, lest I make a mistake if I say too much."

Shang Shiying was both amused and exasperated, and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. You brat, you've become so much more enlightened in the years I haven't seen you."

Shang Xingzhou remained silent, genuinely afraid that saying too much would lead to making a mistake.

The next day, Shang Shiying and Bian Suxi pushed Shang Xingzhou to the Zhou family to see Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang.

When they arrived, Jiang Zhizhi hadn't left for work yet.

Sitting in the yard, holding little Zhouji, I'm putting socks on the struggling little boy.

Shang Xingzhou glanced at Jiang Zhizhi, who was hunched over. She was too thin; the white shirt was a little too big for her. When she bent over, a thin, narrow spine was clearly visible.

Skin and bones!

Shang Xingzhou gripped the wheelchair tightly, feeling as if he had made a mistake.

After Shang Shiying went over and picked up Xiao Zhou, Shang Xingzhou's voice was a little hoarse: "Sister, I want to eat the sugar triangles from the cafeteria. Can you push me over to buy two?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Hua quickly stopped them, saying, "If you want to eat it, let Sister Chen go buy it. Why are you running around?"

Jiang Zhizhi gave Shang Xingzhou a deep look, then turned to Fang Hua with a smile: "Mom, I'll just push him to go shopping. He probably just wants to go out for a walk."

Shang Xingzhou quickly nodded: "Yes, Auntie, I want to go out for a walk with my sister, we'll be back in a little while."

Fang Hua and the others didn't stop them anymore, sensing that the siblings probably had something to say to each other.

Jiang Zhizhi pushed Shang Xingzhou out, and the two of them didn't speak a word the whole way. It wasn't until they were almost at the cafeteria that Shang Xingzhou couldn't help but fall silent: "Sister, do you know everything?"
