He Jinnian said, "Jing Mao is ruthless. He likes to climb up by stepping on other people's corpses. I heard he graduated from Tsinghua University. He's incredibly vicious. People in our circle have to leave themselves a few escape routes when doing business with him. Once you get involved with him, he might leech off you like a bloodsucker until he drains you dry."

Su Yan thought to herself that Jing Mao really had something; it was quite an achievement to be feared by so many people.

"Then why did you do business with him?"

"Oh dear, I have no choice." He Jinnian complained bitterly. "In the medical equipment business, besides Guo Ziming, Jingmao is the second most powerful person in the country. Guo Ziming is beyond the reach of ordinary people. I tried to meet with him several times but failed. So I can only choose Jingmao. I don't like the others."

Su Yan asked curiously, "Is Jingmao really that scary? Even you and Brother Tao are so afraid of it."

"Nonsense! Tao Jin and I aren't afraid of that fly or bug. We just think he's pretty ruthless, after all, there are a few bloody cases. Second sister, if you offend him, don't be afraid. Let Tao Jin deal with him. Tao Jin has never given him a kind look. Jing Mao has never won a business deal with him." He Jinnian said with a smile.

He had business dealings with Jingmao, so it was naturally inappropriate for him to teach him a lesson.

Su Yan raised an eyebrow and asked again, "What if Guo Ziming steps in?"

"Then there's even less reason to panic. Guo Ziming is the next heir of the Guo family. He can crush Jingmao with a flick of his finger, provided you can get him to help. He's a wise and incorruptible person who never meddles in other people's business."

In Beijing, regardless of the circle, it is divided into several social classes.

These social classes are further divided into different ranks, and within each rank, there are distinctions of high and low, with intricate and complex relationships.

However, Su Yan was unaware that Guo Ziming had an extremely powerful background.

But she knew that Guo Ziming, whom He Jinnian had mentioned as being incorruptible, was someone she could persuade to come.

"I understand, thank you, Brother He."

"You're welcome. Feel free to ask me any questions. Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yu frowned and said, "Ayan, I will handle this myself. You don't need to bother Guo Ziming."

If he can't even protect his own family and has to rely on his sister's connections, then all these years of his life have been for nothing!

Su Yan did not insist on taking on the matter, but simply repeated what He Jinnian had just said.

"If you take action, be extremely careful."

Based on Zhong Jinghe and He Jinnian's descriptions of Jing Mao, the siblings could more or less guess what kind of person he was.

Given Su Yu's sensitive status, he certainly couldn't openly deal with Jing Mao.

But the more ruthless and unscrupulous a person is like Jing Mao, the less likely their background will stand up to scrutiny.

Just then, footsteps sounded from the stairwell.

The two stopped talking and looked at each other.

The visitors were Li Juan and Tao Yue.

Upon seeing the two of them, Li Juan, whose hands were full of bags, hurriedly asked, "What are you doing standing here? Where are Jinghe and Nianyu?"

Su Yan pointed to the ward, "She's inside, Nianyu is asleep."

As she spoke, she opened the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Zhong Jinghe immediately sat up in bed, looking at them with a somewhat helpless expression.

Su Yan introduced, "Jinghe, this is my mother."

Li Juan walked in, put the things she was carrying on the table, and then rubbed her hands together as she said to Zhong Jinghe, "You must be Jinghe, right? I'm Su Yu and Su Yan's mother. You can call me Aunt Juan."

She wouldn't be so foolish as to immediately ask Zhong Jinghe to call her "mother."

After all, how could she have the face to do what her scoundrel son did?

Zhong Jinghe was visibly nervous in front of Li Juan. "Aunt Juan, hello."

"Okay, hello." Seeing her thin appearance, Li Juan couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said, "Ayan has told me about your situation. Don't worry about getting treatment here and taking good care of your health. If anything happens, just tell us. Don't be shy. It's Su Yu who is a bastard and made you and Nianyu suffer so much. Aunt Juan doesn't have much education and is not good at speaking. If I say anything wrong, please forgive me."

Zhong Jinghe could feel that Li Juan's heartache was genuine, and her eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her gaze and said, "Thank you, Aunt Juan."

“Good child, Aunt Juan treats you like her own daughter. If you don’t mind, you can treat me like your mother too. If you don’t want to, that’s okay too. We can take it slow and get to know each other better.”

Li Juan was so nervous that she became somewhat incoherent.

She felt that her son had wronged Zhong Jinghe, and her words inevitably carried a sense of guilt.

Zhong Jinghe looked up, flattered, and said blankly, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Juan."

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a particularly difficult one to maintain. She never expected that Li Juan would actually be as easy to get along with as Su Yan had said.

"Don't mention thank you. You don't need to be so polite in the future. I bought some clothes for you and Nianyu to change into. See if you like them."

As Li Juan was about to get the clothes, Su Yan quickly said, "Mom, Jinghe doesn't have the energy to try on clothes right now, so please let her rest."

Zhong Jinghe smiled and said, "Aunt Juan, I like everything you bought. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Juan quickly waved her hand, "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, as long as you like it."

Su Yan glanced at the time and said, "Jinghe, go take a shower. After you shower, rest. We'll go home for New Year's Eve after your injection tomorrow."

"good."

Zhong Jinghe carefully lifted the blanket and got out of bed. When her feet were exposed, everyone noticed dried blood on her toes. When they got to the hospital, they were so focused on examining her and giving her an IV that they didn't realize her feet were injured.

Su Yu, who was pondering how to deal with Jing Mao, caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye. His brow furrowed, and he immediately strode forward, picked her up, and said, "I'll go with you."

Zhong Jinghe hadn't even recovered from being suddenly picked up when she heard those words. Her face instantly turned bright red, and her mind went blank as she opened her mouth, stammering, "You...I..."

Su Yan, Li Juan, and Tao Yue were all dumbfounded.

Su Yan said irritably, "Brother, Jinghe and I are going to take a shower. What are you doing?"

Su Yu realized he had said something wrong, his ears turned red, but he calmly corrected himself, "What I meant was, I'll help you clean the blood off your feet."

After saying that, he ignored Zhong Jinghe's words and went straight into the shower room.

Su Yan was dumbfounded.

She suddenly felt that there might be a possibility between Su Yu and Zhong Jinghe.

How many people can handle a man like her brother who likes to be direct and domineering?

She clicked her tongue twice, a meaningful sound.

Li Juan patted her and said irritably, "Where did you get all those strange noises from? Hurry up and pick Nianyu up. I'll change your sister-in-law's sheets so she can sleep more comfortably."

Su Yan felt extremely wronged and complained, "Mother, you've changed. I'm no longer your precious daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Li Juan raised her hand as if to hit her.

"Fine, fine! I'll shut up." Su Yan gave in.
