After receiving an IV drip and undergoing another check-up at the hospital, and confirming that there were no problems, Zhou Zhengchu took his mother home.
On her way home, she kept complaining that her hand hurt. The needle marks on the back of her hand were barely visible, but she described them as if they were huge wounds.
She muttered to herself, "Why do I need an IV drip? It hurts a lot to get a needle stuck in my skin."
In fact, she had fainted at that time and had no feeling at all, so she didn't know what pain was.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhengchu shifted the blame onto the doctor, saying, "It was the doctor's request; I had no choice."
He paused, then apologized politely, "I'm sorry, Mother."
Jiang Yue was easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force. Hearing his sincere apology, which seemed genuinely repentant, she decided not to pursue the matter further or push him too hard.
"Okay, I forgive you this time."

Zhou Ji learned about what happened at the mall that afternoon from Assistant Shen. He never expected that he would run into Qin Qin at the mall.
The woman Jiang Yue hates the most is probably Qin Qin.
The two met infrequently, but each encounter ended unpleasantly.
He was well aware of Qin Qin's intentions towards him, but he had ignored them for many years and things had remained peaceful.
He also intentionally prevented the two from meeting.
Jiang Yue couldn't handle the stimulation, that's what the doctor said. Zhou Ji did his best to cooperate with the doctor's requirements, keeping her away from female staff and preventing her from encountering people she didn't like.
Nevertheless, accidents can still happen.
After hearing what Assistant Shen said, Zhou Ji frowned: "How is Madam?"
Assistant Shen said, "I heard that she had a big fight with the young master and fainted from the emotional distress."
They had a big argument.
It was actually just her venting.
The young master never argues with his mother, and even when he's angry, he can't bring himself to say anything harsh. At most, he'll utter a single, unpleasant truth.
Zhou Ji frowned even more: "Have you been to the hospital?"
Assistant Shen nodded: "I've been there, there's nothing seriously wrong."
Zhou Ji was relieved and coldly ordered, "Remember to clear the area beforehand next time."
Assistant Shen didn't dare to complain, vaguely sensing his boss's dissatisfaction. His words carried a cold, sharp edge. He said, "Yes, sir."
Clearing the area is standard procedure.
Even when the area wasn't cleared, there were always plainclothes bodyguards in suits around, showing that the gentleman was always very cautious about his wife's personal safety.
Today, the young master took everyone out for a stroll and some fresh air.
If they don't follow the usual rules, no one dares to remind them.
The public's understanding of this couple's relationship has always been shrouded in mystery, unclear and difficult to define. In fact, even Assistant Shen, who has worked by her husband's side for many years, couldn't figure out whether it was love or not.
If you don't love someone, you won't pay attention to so many thoughtful and subtle details.
Assistant Shen hesitated for two seconds, then continued, "This afternoon, Madam's mother came to the company..."
Zhou Ji glanced at her coldly: "Do I need to teach you how to deal with her?"
Assistant Shen tensed up: "We immediately had the bodyguards kick him out."
The foolish things the lady did in the past, especially the several heinous acts, were all instigated by her birth mother.
Since the wife lost her senses, the president has cut off all contact with both sides.
Sun Chengfeng was kicked out of the company's main gate, but she hadn't given up. She took a taxi to the villa where they lived.
Now her son and daughter have no contact with her.
Even though they weren't her biological children, she still felt resentful.
They've all made a name for themselves, are influential, and quite wealthy. How could we mistreat her, their mother?
Sun Chengfeng didn't expect that before she even reached the villa's entrance, a bodyguard in black grabbed her arm and threw her into the car like a rag.
She was terrified, thinking she had been kidnapped.
Just as he was about to shout, the bodyguard coldly warned, "Shut up."
The bodyguard immediately made a phone call.
Sun Chengfeng heard something about the young master saying that he had already done as he was told.
Zhou Zhengchu gazed indifferently at the scenery outside the courtyard. Hearing the bodyguard's message, he grunted, "Keep an eye on her. I'll be back in a bit."
He certainly wouldn't forget the instigator.
His good grandmother is partly to blame for how his mother turned out this way.
He had just hung up the phone when the person behind him asked curiously, "What were you doing on the balcony? Who were you talking to? Why were you hiding from me? Was it your father?"
Zhou Zhengchu composed himself, turned around, and smiled at his mother: "It's about company matters."
She indeed lost interest.
I don't want to hear it at all.
She held her phone, staring down at the unanswered message on the screen. She murmured, "Why isn't he here yet?" after glancing at the time.
Zhou Zhengchu remained calm: "What?"
She looked up, completely unguarded: "Your grandmother said she was coming to see me, but it's getting dark and she hasn't come yet."
She was a little unhappy: "Did she lie to me?"
Zhou Zhengchu gently took his mother's phone from her hand, glanced at the number on it, and memorized it in an instant.
Sun Chengfeng is not a good person.
His mother, however, didn't quite see it and didn't think so either.
Like a persistent ghost, Sun Chengfeng would secretly change his phone number to contact his mother. Sometimes he would just coax her into transferring some money to him, while other times he would make more outrageous demands or instigate her to do things that would harm others.
Transferring a little money is no big deal.
My father could see every single transaction.
If Sun Chengfeng had accepted the money, he would have behaved himself and let it go.
But she was an insatiable person; even after taking the money, she wouldn't behave herself and said countless things to sow discord.
Zhou Zhengchu also remembered that Sun Chengfeng hadn't treated him very well when he was young.
He casually glanced at the chat history. It was probably Sun Chengfeng trying to trick his mother into seeing her again. The reason Sun Chengfeng hadn't been dealt with all these years was because his mother still cared about her.
Zhou Zhengchu said without changing his expression, "Something must have happened on the way that caused the delay." The young man then gently reminded him, "Weren't you going to call your father?"
Jiang Yue then remembered that she still needed to call her husband.
Her husband is a workaholic. He always forgets about her when he's working, and he's always busy and often goes on business trips.
Several times.
Jiang Yue insisted on going on a business trip with her husband, but they basically stayed in the hotel all day, only strolling around the hotel area when he finished his work and had some free time.
So she actually really hates his job.
Is it that important?
She's always more important than him.
Even if she was confused, she could still vaguely realize that her husband's first priority was definitely not her.
