Chapter 49 Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside

"right!"

Yun Zhaozhao didn't hide it, and besides, there was no way to hide it: "I'm divorced from Pei Jiuyan. I just went to sign the papers today."

Fu Shangluo didn't speak this time. Although he had heard some news before, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Most importantly, Pei Jiuyan was actually willing to let go.

Thinking about Pei Jiuyan's reaction just now, he didn't think the other party was really willing to do it.

Just in case, Zhou Yueming asked Yun Zhaozhao to stay overnight for observation, and to make sure she was alright before going back. Although Yun Zhaozhao didn't like hospitals, she was also afraid of accidents, so she didn't object.

"You all go back first, I'll stay and take care of her."

Fu Shangluo looked at Zhou Yueming and his sister and said.

"Alright, we'll be going now."

Ignoring Yun Zhaozhao's desperate attempts to signal to her, Zhou Xiao heartlessly left with her brother, leaving Yun Zhaozhao and Fu Shangluo behind.

"Brother Shangluo, you should go back too. I don't have anything to do, I can manage on my own."

Yun Zhaozhao said somewhat awkwardly.

"Zhaozhao, don't be so distant with me." Fu Shangluo patted her head. "Putting everything else aside, you're the little sister I watched grow up. Don't treat me like an outsider, okay?"

Since Fu Shangluo had already said so much, Yun Zhaozhao naturally couldn't say anything more.

"Zhaozhao, what did Pei Jiuyan do?"

Fu Shangluo had been holding these questions in for a long time. Ever since he heard those rumors, he had wanted to ask them, and he finally asked them today.

He knew how much Yun Zhaozhao liked Pei Jiuyan. He had once approached Yun Zhaozhao, and he still remembered how she looked when she talked about Pei Jiuyan. She was radiant, her eyes were shining, and her face and eyes were full of smiles when she mentioned Pei Jiuyan.

He couldn't imagine what Pei Jiuyan had done to make Yun Zhaozhao so determined to get a divorce.

If it weren't for Pei Jiuyan, she would never have gotten a divorce.

Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to talk about Pei Jiuyan, so she smiled and said, "Brother Shangluo, I want to sleep."

Seeing that she avoided answering, Fu Shangluo did not press her further. He stayed by her side for a while, and only left the ward after Yun Zhaozhao had truly fallen asleep.

He regretted it; he should have come back sooner.

Over the years, he had always thought that Yun Zhaozhao was living a happy life and did not want to disturb her. Who knew that the younger sister he had watched grow up would be bullied.

Pei Jiuyan, how dare you? Why don't you cherish what you have?

Fu Shangluo made several phone calls with a sullen face, but still didn't know Pei Jiuyan's whereabouts. He asked someone to keep an eye out before returning to the ward.

When Yun Zhaozhao woke up the next day, she saw Fu Shangluo guarding her bedside. He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and there was some obvious stubble on his chin, which showed that he had been guarding her all night.

The moment she moved, Fu Shangluo opened his eyes.

"Awake? Is anything bothering you?"

Fu Shangluo asked with concern.

"Brother Shangluo..."

Fu Shangluo was so good to her that Yun Zhaozhao felt a little soft-hearted; it had been a long time since anyone had cared for her like this.

"I was fine to begin with, it's you and Brother Yueming who were too nervous."

Yun Zhaozhao said with a smile.

Fu Shangluo helped her sit up and said, "If Yue Ming comes to check on you and you can be discharged, we'll go back. Grandpa misses you a lot."

Upon hearing that they were going to the Fu family's house, Yun Zhaozhao quickly said, "Brother Shangluo, no need to trouble yourself. I'll go back to my own home; Aunt Chen is there."

Fu Shangluo was prepared and directly brought up his grandfather, saying, "This is Grandpa's wish. If you don't want to go, call him yourself. Grandpa said that if he doesn't take good care of your maternal grandfather, he won't have the face to see him."

Yun Zhaozhao had a headache. She hadn't expected Fu Shangluo to bring up both her grandfather and maternal grandfather at once. How was she supposed to refuse?

Don't even think about refusing.

Fu Shangluo gently patted her head: "Given the relationship between our two families, outsiders won't say anything."

Since things had already come to this point, Yun Zhaozhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go. She was always the type to respond to kindness but not force, and she couldn't bear to refuse when others were nice to her.

As the two were talking, Zhou Xiao came in carrying a lunchbox.

"Here, these are all your favorite foods."

The lunchbox was filled with spring rolls, which Yun Zhaozhao liked.

“I called Aunt Chen yesterday and asked her to get it ready. I went to pick it up this morning.”

"That's great, baby, I love you."

Yun Zhaozhao blew Zhou Xiao a few kisses, then began to eat heartily.

Seeing that she had a good appetite and was not affected by yesterday's events at all, Zhou Xiao felt relieved. However, she hesitated when she thought about what she had just heard outside.

Who is Yun Zhaozhao? She grew up with Zhou Xiao since childhood, and seeing her like this, one knows she has something to say.

"Just say it, don't keep it to yourself."

Zhou Xiao sighed, "I just feel really bad, but I don't know if I should say anything."

"Alright, just say it, hurry up, I'm exhausted even if you're not."

Yun Zhaozhao took a bite of a small spring roll and said.

"I just heard from the nurse that Pei's mother was brought in for emergency treatment in the middle of the night yesterday. She was saved by dawn and is still in the intensive care unit."

Zhou Xiao couldn't help but tell him what she had just heard.

Yun Zhaozhao was taken aback: "What's wrong with her?"

When I saw him a couple of days ago, he was full of energy, like he could kill a bull. How did he suddenly end up in the intensive care unit?

"I don't know the specifics, but the nurse said it seemed to be hypothermia and frostbite. If it had been any later, it wouldn't have been saved."

These words only surprised Yun Zhaozhao for a moment. She responded with a sound of agreement and then had no further reaction.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we go take a look?"

Although the papers were signed yesterday, isn't it still in the cooling-off period? After all, she's Yun Zhaozhao's mother-in-law, and it wouldn't be good if people found out.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao shook her head: "I'm not going."

If she goes, Pei's mother will probably lose her breath.

Forget it, she should at least have some decency; she doesn't want anyone to die.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Zhou Xiao said no more and changed the subject to other things.

A short while later, Zhou Yueming arrived, asked Yun Zhaozhao if she had any other problems, and then told her to go back and rest.

"Call us immediately if anything happens, and come to the hospital promptly."

"knew!"

Yun Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly; Yue Ming had said this at least ten times.

Seeing her impatience, Zhou Yueming gently tapped her on the head before leaving.

Fu Shangluo went to complete the formalities, Zhou Xiao packed her things, and Yun Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "See you in the underground parking lot later, I'm going out for a bit."

Before Zhou Xiao could even speak, Yun Zhaozhao had already darted out.

Zhou Xiao didn't ask where Yun Zhaozhao was going. She knew that Yun Zhaozhao would definitely go to see Pei's mother. Yun Zhaozhao was known for being stubborn but soft-hearted.

However, what she didn't know was that she was wrong this time.
