Inside the hospital room, Vivian Chow looked at the gifts Chen Dong had brought.
Most of these gifts were tonics, which were considered expensive and rare at the time.
For Chen Dong, these things were just a drop in the ocean.
In terms of etiquette for visiting someone's home, Chen Dong did an excellent job.
Vivian Chow looked at her mother with some trepidation.
Seeing this, Zhou's mother frowned slightly and gave Zhou Huimin a look.
Chen Dong did not miss the exchange of glances between the mother and daughter.
Chen Dong saw this and was also very puzzled.
Before New Year's Day, Chen Dong visited Zhou's mother. It was during that visit that Chen Dong realized that Zhou's mother had some prejudice against him.
To put it bluntly, Zhou's mother was very polite to Chen Dong on the surface, but if we were to use another word to describe this politeness, it would be estrangement.
Sure enough, Zhou's mother spoke up at this moment: "Mr. Chen, I'm recovering very well now. The doctor said that we can go through the discharge procedures tomorrow and be officially discharged."
“I am very grateful that you helped my daughter and me when we were desperate.”
"Once I've recovered, I'll find a job as soon as possible so I can pay back the debt sooner. I'm truly grateful to you."
this……
Chen Dong felt somewhat helpless.
Zhou's mother almost said it even more bluntly.
Borrowing money is borrowing money, and gratitude is gratitude.
However, she would never allow anyone to plot against her daughter or treat Vivian Chow as a plaything.
Vivian Chow's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
She quickly stood up and kept bowing to Chen Dong.
Vivian Chow's eyes were filled with panic and embarrassment.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, my mother has misunderstood."
"She absolutely did not mean anything by it."
In response to Vivian Chow's apology, Chen Dong waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "You don't need to panic. I, Chen Dong, am not an unreasonable person."
As he spoke, Chen Dong changed the subject: "I'm a little thirsty, could you please make me a cup of tea?"
"ah?"
Vivian Chow straightened up and looked at Chen Dong with great confusion.
At this moment, Chen Dong remained calm, his handsome face revealing no emotion.
Vivian Chow was momentarily at a loss.
She was certain that Chen Sheng just wanted her to leave the ward, not that he really wanted to drink tea.
Zhou Huimin: "Mr. Chen, my mother..."
Chen Dong turned his head and squinted at Zhou Huimin.
Vivian Chow swallowed her words as soon as they were on the tip of her tongue, and then obediently left the ward.
As a daughter, Vivian Chow is very worried that this misunderstanding will cause her some regret.
But as a girl, facing a big shot like Chen Dong, she didn't even have the right to argue or cry.
In the end, Vivian Chow still left the hospital room.
As soon as Vivian Chow came out, Uncle Fu stood up and asked, "Miss Chow, what's the matter with the boss?"
Holding her water glass, with tears welling in her eyes, she said, "I...I'll go make some tea."
After speaking, Vivian Chow hurriedly walked towards the boiler room.
She didn't know what would happen next.
The calm-looking man in the ward was Chen Dong.
The owner of Hidden Dragon Residence is a man who secretly controls a vast amount of wealth, and even a big shot like Xiang Huaqiang is willing to be subordinate to him.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this man can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the ward had become frigid to the point of breaking.
Zhou's mother gritted her teeth, and this strong woman finally mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Chen, I know you are a person of importance. I am truly grateful for your kindness towards Amin."
"But...but as a mother, I can't be a burden to my daughter."
"I beg you, please spare my daughter. I'd give my life for her."
As she spoke, despite her weakness, Zhou's mother struggled to get off the hospital bed and made as if to kneel down before Chen Dong.
Chen Dong shook his head helplessly and steadily supported Zhou's mother with both hands.
"Auntie, I think there's a deep misunderstanding between us."
"I can't accept such a generous gift. Let's talk about it slowly."
Chen Dong spoke calmly, with little expression on his face.
This detached composure actually reassured Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother did not refuse. Sitting on the hospital bed, she said softly, "Mr. Chen, my old bones don't matter. If you don't mind, I can come to your house as a maid after I recover."
"I don't want money, just give me a meal. I'm willing to spend my whole life working like an ox or a horse to repay your kindness."
"I only beg you, please don't harm Amin."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled wryly and said, "It seems there's a deep misunderstanding between us."
If an ordinary person were to cry and whine in front of Chen Dong, Chen Dong would definitely have Wolong throw them out within three seconds.
But the one in front of me is different.
Putting aside the fact that she is Vivian Chow's mother, Chen Dong was deeply impressed by Vivian's mother's protective attitude towards her chicks.
At this time, Zhou's mother was very weak, but she did not consider her own health at all; she was only focused on protecting her daughter.
Clearly, Zhou's mother mistook Chen Dong for a scoundrel like Ni Zhen.
Thinking of this, Chen Dong slowly said, "No wonder you treated me that way last time."
Zhou's mother was speechless and dared not say anything more for a moment.
Chen Dong chuckled helplessly, "Aunt Zhou, I'm telling you the truth."
"I do like beautiful women. Beautiful women are rare, and I admit that I admire Vivian Chow's beauty."
