Chapter 162 Chief Fu's Jealousy Takes Over: You Want to Rekindle Your Childhood Sweetheart's Romance?

Xia Mian didn't actually have much of an appetite, and the closer she got to the hospital, the more nervous she felt.

A feeling of trepidation arose within me as I approached my hometown.

My mother has been in a coma for a long time and has not woken up.

She used to often stay with her mother at the hospital.

However, she never expected that this would become a means for her three older brothers and grandmother to manipulate her.

As long as she is obedient and well-behaved, she will give Lu Lian'er everything she wants and satisfy her.

Only then would they allow her to visit her mother in the hospital, as if it were a favor.

The hospital is a private hospital under the Xia Group. It is not as large or well-equipped as the Fu Group's private hospital, but both the hospital director and the doctors are under the leadership of the three Xia brothers.

She held no position or had any say in the Xia Group, so coming to the hospital was nothing more than a rebuff.

No matter how much she pleaded, the medical staff always replied, "I'm sorry, Ms. Xia, you cannot visit right now."

"Young Master Xia said you are not allowed to visit."

"Miss Xia, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following orders from my superiors."

Gradually, she became numb, just as the Xia family had wished.

She's not coming to the hospital anymore.

Now... spanning two lifetimes, she has finally returned to the hospital and to her mother's side.

No... In this time period of her past life, her mother was not conscious, so how come she is conscious in this life?

Xia Mian felt that there must be some details she had overlooked.

But no matter what, it's a good thing that Mom is awake!

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and began to eat her breakfast. She couldn't let the man who loved and liked her worry.

This was breakfast prepared by Fu Yanshen; she couldn't waste the food, nor could she waste his thoughtfulness.

Just as she was about to pinch a red bean bun, the man's slender fingers had already picked one up and brought it to her lips, "Try it."

She opened her mouth and took a bite, then saw the man looking at her, slowly approaching. His handsome eyebrows and straight nose magnified before her eyes, and he surprisingly took a bite as well without any hesitation.

Xia Mian's breathing almost stopped.

Then Fu Yanshen gently touched her forehead and brought a mushroom bun to her lips, "Try this one too, see which one tastes better?"

The man's voice was as gentle as the raindrops outside the window, stirring ripples in one's heart for no reason.

Xia Mian took a bite of the mushroom bun. "This is delicious too."

Fu Yanshen then ate the mushroom bun that Xia Mian had bitten.

Xia Mian noticed that there were about six or seven kinds of exquisite steamed buns in the breakfast he prepared. She didn't have a big appetite, so she only tasted a bite of each kind of bun, and the rest were eaten by the man.

Not only does it offer Chinese breakfast, but it also has Western breakfast options, such as toast, sandwiches, and bacon, but Xia Mian's flavors are more Chinese.

She ate the steamed buns and drank the porridge.

After eating my fill, I felt my body getting warmer, and more importantly, I had the strength to face the three packs of jackals from the Xia family.

As they were getting out of the car, Fu Yanshen grabbed her hand and said, "I'll go with you."

Xia Mian gently shook her head, "No need, you didn't sleep all night, and my mom just woke up, she doesn't recognize you..."

A look of grievance and sadness appeared on the man's handsome face. "Am I not as good as other men? I heard you used to have a childhood sweetheart... Mianmian, Mother has woken up. Are you going to rekindle your relationship with your childhood sweetheart?"

Xia Mian's heart tightened; Fu Yanshen's words were something she hadn't expected.

She shook her head. "No, that's impossible! I have nothing to do with that guy... that Qiao Yusong anymore!"

Qiao Yusong was her fiancé arranged by her mother, but in her previous life, this fiancé was also Lu Lian'er's lover.

She once thought she would fall in love with him, marry him, and have children, but cruel reality later told her that it was all a lie.

Qiao Yusong was nothing but a good-for-nothing playboy who used his family's money to his advantage and treated her as a pastime. He also succumbed to Lu Lian'er's manipulative advances.

She helped Lu Lian'er bully and humiliate her.

Oh!

Only a crazy person would pick up that kind of trash! She's not a garbage dump!

Fu Yanshen's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura. "Qiao Yusong?"

The three words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You really do have a childhood sweetheart! You actually had feelings for him?"

"No. No, really no!" Xia Mian shook her head like a rattle drum.

She held onto Fu Yanshen's arm with both of her small hands, looking at him expectantly.

"Believe me, really! This Qiao Yusong, he likes to keep mistresses and escorts all the time. I don't like those dirty cucumbers!"

Fu Yanshen's expression softened somewhat, and then he heard Xia Mian say, "Look, I've been away from the Xia family for so long, and I haven't had any contact with him at all."

"Furthermore, he didn't come looking for me after I severed ties with the Xia family. What does that mean? It means that we really have no relationship."

Fu Yanshen stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms, his large hand gently caressing the soft flesh of her slender waist. "If Mianmian says so, I will believe her."

He hugged and kissed her for a while longer before reluctantly watching her enter the hospital.

He didn't look away until her figure disappeared from sight.

Inside a hospital ward.

Xia Mian stood at the door of the ward, hesitated for a moment, and was about to knock when the door was opened from the inside, and the doctor and nurse came out together.

Xia Mian couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

"Oh, Mrs. Xia has only recently regained consciousness and is still very weak." The doctor removed his mask and looked at Xia Mian with a gentle expression. "Miss Xia, right? Don't worry, Mrs. Xia's health will improve."

Xia Mian was taken aback. The doctor in front of her was a stranger; she had never seen him before, but he seemed to know her.

When she came to Xia's hospital before, the medical staff were very cold to her, but this doctor was very gentle... and knew her?

strangeness!

Something just doesn't feel right.

But before she could think any further, she heard Lu Lian'er's provocative voice, "Sister's here? Why aren't you coming in?"

After thanking Dr. Xia Mianchong, he went into the ward.

The three Xia brothers were all in the ward, as was Old Madam Xia.

Lu Lian'er stood next to a tall, thin man, leaning almost her entire body against him, wishing she could hang herself in his arms.

Xia Mian glanced at the man expressionlessly; it was actually Qiao Yusong!

What's he doing here?

Not only Qiao Yusong, but also his wife and husband were there.

It seems... Mother's awakening has alarmed quite a few people!

After looking around, Xia Mian quickly walked to the bedside.

"Mom, how are you now? Is anything bothering you?"

She gently held her mother Shen Yingshuang's hand, and looking at her mother's pale and haggard face, she felt an unbearable pain in her heart.

Mother doesn't know... doesn't know about Lu Lian'er's background, and the Xia family doesn't know either.

Unfortunately, her mother used to dote on Lu Lian'er and treat her like her own daughter.

Such a mother could never have imagined the wicked intentions Lu Lian'er harbored.
