Chapter 104 Zhou Mu wakes up, Yan Songyu's attitude changes

Jiang Chengli's heart skipped a beat, filled with terror. He absolutely could not let Yan Songyu know about his relationship with Zhou Yue, and he especially could not let her connect Zhou Yue with Zhou Mu's mother.

“She’s a girl from a Zhou family in our village. The third son liked her, but they weren’t meant to be and broke up.” After explaining, he angrily accused her, “You saw what Mom looks like. She can’t even recognize people anymore. What are you doubting?”

Yan Songyu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "I was just curious and asked casually. What are you so excited about?"

Jiang Chengli was speechless, his face turning ashen. Yan Songyu turned and left, unaware that Jiang Chengli's expression was growing increasingly gloomy behind her. But even if she had noticed, she wouldn't have cared.

He's busy climbing the social ladder and has just tasted success, so he doesn't dare to break ties with her. That's why he's been ignoring Feng Yu all day.

Yan Songyu was quite open-minded about letting Jiang Chengli develop his influence within the company. After all, he created more value, and eliminating those so-called influences would be as simple as saying a few words to her. Let him do what he can.

Mumu was unconscious for three days before waking up. When she opened her eyes, her voice was still hoarse, but her first words were: "Feifei... are you alright?"

Feifei, who was drawing T-shirts by her bedside, looked up in surprise, "Mumu, you're finally awake!"

Feifei quickly poured her a glass of warm water, "Don't talk yet, moisten your throat."

Zhou Mu was indeed thirsty, and gulped down several mouthfuls of water. "That's enough, thank you Feifei!"

"Don't be so polite, Mumu. I should be thanking you. You saved me, otherwise I would be lying in bed like you right now."

Feifei sniffed as she spoke, and holding Zhou Mu's hand, she continued, "Mu Mu, if you ever get into danger, remember to take care of yourself first. You have no idea how scared I was when I saw you covered in injuries being carried into the ambulance."

"But... I'm so happy to be able to protect Feifei."

Zhou Mu's smile was weak. She felt that her injury was nothing compared to the help Feifei had given her. Feifei was her salvation and her pillar of support.

Feifei's eyes reddened as she listened to her words, and she solemnly promised, "From now on, I will protect you too."

"Okay, I believe you."

Zhou Mu was laughing for a while when she suddenly frowned. Fei Fei looked at her nervously, "Did you aggravate your wound? I'll call the doctor to take a look."

Feifei hurriedly pressed the call button, and Yan Songyu and Feng Yu also came in with the food. Yan Songyu walked a few steps to Zhou Mu's bedside, her surprise mirroring Feifei's, "Mumu, you're awake! Are you feeling better? Has the doctor come to see you? Is anything bothering you?"

Zhou Mu was taken aback by Yan Songyu's series of expressions of concern, but looking into her eyes, he could tell that her concern was genuine, and her eyes even revealed a sense of caution and...guilt.

Zhou Mu was surprised. Was it because she saved Feifei that she was acting this way?

After all, although Yan Songyu didn't look down on her, she had always been distant from her. Even though she was sometimes kind and even enthusiastic on the surface, she was very sensitive to people's emotions.

Yes, it could only be because she saved Feifei, after all, she knew very well how much Yan Songyu valued Feifei.

Zhou Mu gave a relieved smile. "I'm fine now, Aunt Yan."

Just then, the doctor came in. Yan Songyu pulled Feifei back and let the doctor give Zhou Mu a full examination.

"How is Mumu?"

Doctor: "He's recovering well and has woken up, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a while longer."

"That's good."

Yan Songyu and Feifei both showed the same happy smile, and even Feng Yu's eyebrows and eyes were filled with laughter.

After the doctor left, Feng Yu placed the dishes on the small table and pushed it between Zhou Mu and Fei Fei, saying, "Half of the dishes today are Fei Fei's favorites, and the other half are dishes that I had someone make that the children might like. Mu Mu, if there are any dishes you like or don't like, you can tell me, and I'll have someone make them for you next time."

Feifei had just taken the bowl and chopsticks her mother handed her when, afraid that Zhou Mu would feel embarrassed, she quickly said, "I know Mu Mu likes sweet and sour dishes, like sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, cola chicken wings, and sweet and sour pork with pineapple..."

"Really?" Feng Yu looked at Zhou Mu.

Zhou Mumu nodded. "Mm."

Feng Yu said gently, "Okay, I'll remember."

Zhou Mu was truly flattered. Feng Yu's attitude had always followed Yan Songyu's, but now even he was showing concern for her!

But Yan Songyu then asked Feifei, "Feifei, can you eat by yourself? Mommy needs to take care of Mumu; it's inconvenient for her."

“Okay, Mom.” Feifei nodded and added with concern, “Mom, have you eaten? I can take care of Mumu too.”

"Mom and Uncle Feng have already eaten, you two can eat now."

Yan Songyu smiled and touched Feifei's face. She picked up the nutritious porridge she had prepared for Zhou Mu, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and then fed it to Zhou Mu. "Mu Mu, come on, have some nutritious porridge first."

Her expression was incredibly gentle, perfectly matching Zhou Mu's expectations of the role of a mother. Looking at Zhou Mu, it was as if he was her whole world, the child she cherished most, loved most, cared about most, and for whom she would give everything.

But Zhou Mu knew it was all fake. Her sudden change of attitude towards her was only because she had saved Feifei. This concern would be taken back once the insignificant favor was exhausted. She didn't want to get caught up in it. She didn't have a mother like that. She wasn't her mother!

Moreover, she didn't want this kind of concern. She saved Feifei because Feifei was her friend, and their attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing the spoon right in front of his mouth, Zhou Mu suddenly shrank back, but because he ignored the pain in his back, he fell down.

Yan Songyu was startled and hurriedly went to help her, spilling a bowl of hot porridge all over her legs. "Ah!"
