Although Ni Sitian said she would go back early that day, the producer here couldn't let her go for the time being.

It's already been brought forward quite a bit, and the time has already been compressed. Trying to bring it forward another week is simply impossible.

So, Ni Sitian finally took the earliest flight back home a week later.

She arrived back in Yihai City at exactly 10 a.m., and parted ways with Anxin at the airport. She didn't even go home to put her luggage away; she went straight to the hospital by taxi.

After arriving at the hospital, I called Jiayue to ask which ward my mother-in-law was in, and then dragged my luggage over there.

The bandage on Jin Rulan's head has been removed, and she will be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Because Jia Yue has been by her side the whole time, her recovery is progressing relatively quickly.

Now the mother and daughter have returned to their old relationship, and their bond is even stronger.

When Ni Sitian came in, she saw Jia Yue saying funny things to Jin Rulan by her bedside.

"Mom, Jiayue." Ni Sitian dragged her luggage in, put it aside, and walked to Jin Rulan's bedside.

"Sitian, why are you back? Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow at the earliest?" Xu Jiayue was a little surprised to see Ni Sitian looking travel-worn, and noticed her dark circles under her eyes, indicating she must have rushed here.

"The flight was moved up," Ni Sitian explained casually, then looked at Jin Rulan and said, "Mom, I'm sorry."

As a daughter-in-law, she not only failed to take care of her mother-in-law, but she was also only able to come back to visit her after her mother-in-law's car accident.

"Please sit down." Jin Rulan pointed to the chair and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. You'll be discharged in a few days. You must have had a long journey. Let Tingchuan pick you up and take you home to rest later."

"Mom, you don't understand. It's no surprise to just call my brother to pick me up. They've been apart for almost twenty days. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sitian, wait for him at home and give him a good surprise." Xu Jiayue winked at Ni Sitian teasingly.

Jin Rulan was amused by Xu Jiayue's words, reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "You, you have a whole set of theories, but I've never seen you seriously date anyone."

“Who said I haven’t talked to anyone? I’ll bring him to meet you another day,” Xu Jiayue said with a smirk.

Ni Sitian and Jin Rulan were both surprised to hear this. Ni Sitian asked curiously, "When did you start dating?"

“You know that person too? He’s Han Shizhao, the one Pei Yang brought over to the party at the villa on the island in the lake,” Xu Jiayue said with a smile.

Ni Sitian did remember such a person, an air force regimental commander, young and promising, mature and steady, and good-looking. She remembered that Xu Jiayue talked to him quite a lot back then, but she didn't expect that they would still keep in touch later and even become a couple.

"Sitian, you've met her? What kind of person is she?" Jin Rulan wanted to know from an observer that this was the first time Jiayue had said she wanted to bring someone back to meet her, and that it was highly likely that things would work out.

"His basic conditions can really be described as perfect. I've heard Tingchuan mention his personality and character a few times, and they're both very good. He should be considered a very rare find, and he's a good match for Jiayue," Ni Sitian said objectively.

"That's good." Jin Rulan felt a little relieved. Her son rarely praised others, so if he said "very good" to her, it must be really good. She had originally been worried that Jia Yue would develop feelings for Pei Yang while staying at his house.

Pei Yang is a very good person and a great friend to Tingchuan, but she doesn't think it's appropriate for him to be her son-in-law. The Pei family is too complicated, and every man in the Pei family is a womanizer. In this day and age, why would anyone have multiple wives and concubines? Such a family is not suitable for Jiayue.
