Xu Hui took a few steps back, and his already pale face became even paler, as if Shen Chaomu had said something cruel.

"Xiao Mu, it was me who fell in love with my wife first, and I... forget it, just consider it all my fault. It doesn't matter how you want to blame me, I just ask you to go back and see her." Xu Hui's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she pleaded in a sad voice.

The people in the clinic looked at the two of them from time to time, and there was a hint of condemnation in their eyes when they looked at Shen Chaomu.

Shen Chaomu ignored her and was not angry. She had long known that Xu Hui was best at using his weak appearance to act hypocritically.

She was determined not to go back, and she didn't want the Shen family's property.

Xu Hui bit his pale lips, his gaze fixed on the still unconscious little girl who was hidden behind Shen Chaomu. He rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaomu, even if you don't consider your mother, you should at least consider Xiaoxi. I heard that a miracle doctor has come to the capital. She has great medical skills and may be able to cure Xiaoxi's illness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Chaomu suddenly looked up at him. Xu Hui knew that Shen Chaomu took his words to heart. He paused and added, "But I also heard that the consultation fee of that miracle doctor is very high. You and Xiaoxi should go back to the Shen family. I will arrange for the miracle doctor to treat Xiaoxi."

Shen Chaomu, who had been tough and mocking Xu Hui just now, fell silent. She turned and looked at the little girl still lying in bed, the light in her eyes dim and unclear.

Xu Hui's lips curled slightly. He knew that Shen Chaomu was wavering. Sure enough, the next second, he heard Shen Chaomu say, "You go, I will consider it."

The corners of Xu Hui's lips curled up even more. "Okay, I'll stay here for the time being. I'll wait for your news. Xiao Mu, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible. We don't know when that miracle doctor will leave the capital."

Shen Chaomu held Little Grape's small hand, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She moved very gently, as if she was afraid of hurting her.

Little Grape frowned subconsciously, still feeling uneasy even though she was asleep.

The doctor said that Little Grape screamed suddenly because she was frightened, and it was at that time that Xu Hui appeared.

Shen Chaomu's eyes were dark and gloomy.

Why was Little Grape so frightened when she saw Xu Hui? Fear wouldn't arise for no reason. Perhaps it was because of something Xu Hui had done to Little Grape in the past.

Thinking of this, Shen Chaomu's anger deepened a bit, and the handkerchief was tightly grasped in her hand, becoming a wrinkled ball.

When the Shen family brought Grape to her, she was three years old and already looked dull and clumsy. They said Grape had a birth defect.

Yes, how could a stupid kid without a father not be bullied?

Shen Chaomu stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows with her fingertips. She always felt that there was something she didn't know.

She was unwilling to return to the Shen family in Beijing for Shen's mother, but she could only find out about Little Grape's illness and the possibility that Xu Hui might bully her by returning to the Shen family.

Do you want to go back?

Shen Chaomu fell into deep thought.

Xu returned to Tangzhou Prefecture and lived directly in Huixiang Restaurant where Shen Chaomu worked.

Huixiang Restaurant has three floors, and the third floor is like an inn, providing accommodation.

Chengzi also works as a waiter in Huixiang Restaurant. Although he is a little young, he works efficiently and is smart. Whenever there are customers, he will greet them.
