☆, One Hundred and Twenty-Two Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital
It was a cold winter day, but the gentle sunlight shining on the snow-covered city seemed particularly dazzling.
"Anan! Come and help me build a snowman!" Su Qiqiao squatted in the yard. There was thick white snow on the ground, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.
Nan Jinnian and Su Zhe were sitting under the eaves playing chess. After hearing Su Qiqiao's voice, he looked up at her, shook his head and smiled, then looked at Su Zhe: "Uncle Su..."
"Go ahead." Su Zhe smiled sideways.
Hearing this, Nan Jinnian quickly stood up and walked towards Su Qiqiao. However, after he had taken only two steps, a huge snowball came towards him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged it.
However, Su Qiqiao grabbed a handful of snow and threw it over again. This time, Nan Jinnian didn't have time to dodge. The snowball quickly scattered after hitting his forehead. The cold feeling made Nan Jinnian tremble involuntarily. Then he leaned over and grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at Su Qiqiao.
For a while, the two of them started a snowball fight and had a lot of fun.
Su Zhe and Mrs. Su sat under the eaves and watched them quietly. The weather today was particularly sunny, and there was no cold wind. The warm sunshine shining on their bodies did not make them feel cold at all.
Finally, Su Qiqiao lay on the ground, panting, "No, no, I can't play anymore."
He is really old, he is so tired in just a short while.
Nan Jinnian saw this and quickly walked over to pull Su Qiqiao up: "The ground is cold, get up quickly."
At this time, Madam Su came over and said, "Okay, aren't you two going to the hospital? It's getting late, go quickly."
Su Qiqiao stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "I almost forgot that Ah Cheng was discharged from the hospital today!"
Nan Jinnian brushed off the snowflakes on her body and said to her, "Go change your clothes first. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Mm-mmm!" Su Qiqiao ran back to her room upon hearing this. Madam Su felt relieved as she watched her daughter becoming more and more lively. She looked at Nan Jinnian and said, "Xiao Nan, don't spoil her like this all the time. Otherwise, it will be a disaster in the future."
Of course, she said this not because she really blamed Nan Jinnian for spoiling Su Qiqiao, but rather because she was very pleased that he could continue to dote on Su Qiqiao.
"Aunt Su, Qiaoqiao is my fiancée. How can I not spoil her?" Nan Jin smiled young, then nodded to Su Zhe and said, "Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I'll go to the car and wait for Qiaoqiao first."
"Well, go ahead." Mrs. Su patted Nan Jinnian's back gently, brushed off the snowflakes on it, and smiled kindly.
Soon, after Su Qiqiao and Nan Jinnian left, Mrs. Su sat limply beside Su Zhe. She had not been in good condition these days. Sometimes she couldn't even breathe, and taking medicine was no longer of much use.
Su Zhe looked at his wife beside him and held her in his arms: "Tired?"
"Well... a little." Mrs. Su nodded: "But I'm very happy."
Su Zhe held her hand and asked, "Because of Qiaoqiao?"
"Seeing how she is now, I feel relieved at last... Xiaonan can take care of Qiaoqiao better than we do. Qiaoqiao will definitely be very happy with him around." Mrs. Su said softly and then held Su Zhe's hand tightly.
Listening to his wife's words, Su Zhe couldn't help but use some strength to hold her in his arms and said: "Yes, now that Zelin has completely taken over the company, I can finally stay at home with you all the time. I will accompany you wherever you want to go in the future."
He remembered that his wife loved traveling the most. Whenever she had time, she would buy a boat ticket, plane ticket or train ticket to travel around. After she became pregnant, she finally settled down. During that time, his career also developed, so he did not come back when Zelin was born.
Later, his wife gave up her hobby and stayed at home to be a full-time housewife, taking care of the newborn Zelin. Later, she became pregnant with Qiaoqiao, so the responsibility of taking care of the two children fell on her. He worked hard for his career, but he never expected that their daughter would disappear...
From that day on, his wife's hair turned gray overnight. Day after day, year after year, he gave up his thriving career and accompanied his wife in searching for their daughter. All the money he had earned and the houses he had bought were spent on the journey to find his daughter.
But several years passed and they still hadn't found their daughter, and the three of them were facing the situation of being homeless.
So from then on, he gave up looking for his daughter. For the sake of his wife and children, he had to fight for his career and to give them a better life. So during those years, his wife hated him. She hated him for not wanting to continue looking, and hated him for giving up their daughter...
But in order to find their daughter, the family spent all their savings, hired detective after detective, placed advertisements again and again, called the police again and again, and traveled to every corner of the city. They had no money left... They even lost their home...
So he gave up. Finally, he borrowed money from everywhere, contacted relatives and friends, and took out loans. He tried every possible way to get money. Taking advantage of the market expansion in those years, he established Chen Yue and signed one artist after another. His Su family finally established roots in the imperial capital...
But this root was built on the basis of abandoning his daughter...
"Zhe, after I leave, you can accompany Qiaoqiao to Yuncheng." After all, she was still worried about her daughter. Her son was developing in the imperial capital, and her daughter was getting married in Yuncheng. But after all, she was alone in Yuncheng. If Su Zhe went with her, perhaps...
But Su Zhe said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay with you."
"That won't do. If I leave, do you still want to follow me?" Mrs. Su frowned.
This time Su Zhe did not answer her. Seeing this, Madam Su quickly looked at him and said, "Su Zhe! You are not allowed to follow me and do stupid things!"
Su Zhe turned his head away and didn't look at Mrs. Su.
"Su Zhe!" Mrs. Su raised her voice.
So Su Zhe had to say: "I won't do anything stupid."
But Madam Su still frowned and looked at him: "You swear that you will take good care of the two children after I am gone!" Su Zhe closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I swear..." There was a bit of sadness and unwillingness between his weathered eyebrows...

When we arrived at the hospital, Su Zelin and Yang Linxin were packing Huo Cheng's things, while I was sitting by the bed receiving an IV drip.
"Why are you two here so early?" Yang Linxin and the other person asked from behind.
Su Qiqiao walked to the bedside, took out a bouquet of flowers from behind her and said, "Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital!"
Looking at the flowers in front of him, Huo Cheng smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao, thank you."
"Why are you wasting money, girl?" Su Zelin frowned and walked over, taking the flowers from Huo Cheng's hand: "These flowers must cost a lot of money..."
"Mr. Su, why did you think I wasted money on the flowers that Qiaoqiao bought for me?!" Huo Cheng felt that Su Zelin was always targeting him, and he always had to say something to him no matter what he did.
Nan Jinnian, who was standing by, clearly agreed with Su Zelin and said, "This bouquet of flowers cost 220 yuan. Can you reimburse me?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Cheng immediately looked at Nan Jinnian: "What are you meddling in?!"
"Oh, it seems like you're not very popular." Yang Linxin put the bouquet aside, then pulled Su Qiqiao out from between the two men and said, "Qiaoqiao, what are we going to eat later?"
Su Qiqiao took her hand and said, "I've made up my mind. Let's go to Anan and I's house later. How about we have hot pot at home?"
Nan Jinnian on the side glanced at Huo Cheng unhappily, and the latter looked at him in return. For a moment, their eyes met, and there was a roar of thunder and lightning.
Su Zelin leaned over and took the button that adjusted the drip speed, blocking their view and said, "The drip is finished. Jinnian, go call the nurse to remove the needle."
Nan Jinnian, whose name was called, turned and walked out.
Soon, the discharge procedures were completed, and the group arrived at Su Qiqiao and Nan Jinnian's new home.
Su Qiqiao and Nan Jinnian entered the house first, followed closely by Su Zelin. Suddenly, Yang Linxin grabbed Huo Cheng's clothes and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget what you promised me, kid!"
Huo Cheng raised his lips slightly bitterly when he heard this: "I know."
After all, that person still doesn't belong to him, and he won't disturb her current happiness anymore. Now he can only be her friend...that's all.
Suddenly, the whole house became bustling with activity. A group of five people gathered around the dining table to eat the steaming hot pot base bought from the supermarket and the hot pot ingredients bought from the farmers' market.
Huo Cheng had just been discharged from the hospital, so he specially prepared a clear soup. Fortunately, Su Qiqiao had the foresight to buy a hot pot container, which could hold two different ingredients.
"Brother Su! I put those meatballs in there!" Yang Linxin glared at Su Zelin.
"There are so many, how would I know it was you who put them there?" Su Zelin pointed at the ingredients in the pot.
"That's great. I want spicy food too." Huo Cheng sighed while holding his small bowl of clear soup.
"You don't want to eat!" Yang Linxin retorted.
"Anan, did you buy beer just now?" Su Qiqiao looked at Nan Jinnian.
"I've bought it. I'll get it from the sofa." Nan Jinnian stopped picking up food for Su Qiqiao and stood up to get the beer.
"Don't take it! You still have to drive soon, why drink alcohol!" Su Zelin waved his hand quickly!
"I want to drink too..." Huo Cheng tilted his head and looked at the beer on the sofa.
"Shut up." Yang Linxin picked up the chicken in the clear soup and blocked his mouth.
Nan Jinnian brought over some beer and said, "You'll be the one driving later, and you can't drink, so it's okay for us to have a few drinks."
"Is it so cruel? How about some Coke?" Su Zelin bit his chopsticks. If he really let Su Zelin drink, he would not be able to continue eating the meal. After all, he could not drink at all and would get drunk as soon as he drank!
Yang Linxin couldn't wait to grab a can of beer: "It's so spicy!"
Su Qiqiao looked at her with a smile: "Drink slowly, otherwise you will get drunk easily." As she spoke, she went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of Coke.
"Sister, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, okay?!" Yang Linxin took a big gulp and asked, "By the way, why can't Brother Su drink?"
Su Zelin glanced at Su Qiqiao and Nan Jinnian with a clear threat in his eyes, but Huo Cheng smiled and said, "Our President Su is a master of one glass!"
"Huh? Brother Su can't drink!? Are you kidding!?" Yang Linxin looked at Su Zelin in surprise, but the next moment Su Zelin blocked her mouth with a piece of lettuce: "Shut up! Drink your wine!"
Huo Cheng propped up his chin and raised his eyebrows proudly at Su Zelin. The latter's forehead twitched and he suddenly laughed: "By the way, Moshang Academy is preparing to start filming after the new year. Actor Huo has to prepare well."
"Just shoot it, I'm not the lead actor." Huo Cheng waved his hand.
Su Zelin's smile deepened a little: "This time, Yun Lang is directing, and the director was the first to mention your name and let you play the male lead."
"Puff!" Huo Cheng immediately spat out the water he had just drunk.
Yang Linxin was sprayed in the face: "Fuck! Huo Cheng! You're dead!"
Huo Cheng just felt a headache. Director Yun Lang was a notorious ruthless person in the circle. No matter if you were a big star or had connections, he would not give you any good face. As long as you didn't perform to the standard he wanted, he would scold you to death without using a single dirty word!
"How can I not answer it?!" Huo Cheng ignored Yang Linxin's rage and looked at Su Zelin.
"What do you think?" The latter waved his hand, calmly took the Coke from Su Qiqiao's hand, opened it and poured it into his own high-heeled glass.
It started snowing outside again, and the sunlight was gradually blocked by dark clouds. However, the house was warm and a group of people were eating hot pot noisily. This should be the happiest thing in winter.
