Uncle Wu appeared at the ward door dressed in a black Tang suit. He had a Tang Dynasty nine-eyed dzi bead hanging around his neck and a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, each bead of considerable value.
Zhou Shengren and Xu Hai exchanged glances and confirmed that this was indeed the Tongjia clan from the capital.
The moment Uncle Wu saw Tong Jiaojiao, his eyes reddened. Everyone in the ward automatically made way for him, and he walked straight towards Tong Jiaojiao.
“Young Miss, twenty years! A full twenty years! You’ve finally contacted me. If I can see you again in my lifetime, I, Wu Qishan, will die without regrets!”
Tong Jiaojiao hadn't seen Uncle Wu for twenty years, and seeing how much he had aged, she felt a pang of sadness.
After Uncle Wu finished speaking, he wiped away his tears. A pretty, stylish man next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes. "That old man, he's putting on an act again. Bullshit, don't we come here to watch every year?"
The man spoke, his voice exceptionally gentle: "Uncle Wu, alright, saving lives is the priority!"
"Rhinoceros horn incense, right? Xiao Wang, bring out a piece for the doctor." The man gestured with his delicate fingers, directing the people he had brought.
Seeing Tong Jiaojiao's bewildered expression, the man quickly explained, "Auntie, I am Junjun, Tong Jun."
"You...you've grown so much." Tong Jiaojiao was a little shocked. The last time she saw him, he was still a baby lying in bed unable to roll over. Now he has grown up so well, like a beautiful young woman.
Tong Junjun nodded.
Leng Feng sized up his nephew, whom he had never met before. He had a male body but a female appearance, and exuded a unique temperament from the inside out, like a cunning 0.
Xiao Wang quickly found a piece of raw rhinoceros horn, which was unusually large, like a brick. It looked similar to the soybean paste blocks that Xiao Wang's mother made, but it was exceptionally heavy. If Uncle Wu hadn't told him that it was a valuable medicinal herb and that he must take it with him, he definitely wouldn't have taken it.
Seeing such precious medicinal herbs wrapped casually in a piece of cloth, Zhou Shengren felt inexplicably angry.
Lu Miao took the raw rhinoceros incense, carefully placed a fingernail-sized amount of the incense near Lin An's head, and lit it. Wisps of blue smoke rose gently into the air.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up in about ten minutes," Lu Miao said.
Lin Wan stared intently at Lin An, praying silently that he would wake up safely. Everyone held their breath and waited.
Tong Jun looked at Lin An on the bed with curiosity. He was alright, not bad looking, but still not as good-looking as herself.
The electronic clock on the ward wall struck midnight, and the date jumped to June 7th.
Lin An's fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.
Xu Mo excitedly shouted, "He's awake! He's awake! He's awake!"
Lin Wan threw herself onto Lin An's hospital bed:
"Little brother, you're finally awake. If you had left like this, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
"Please forgive me. I will make it up to you in the future. Give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
Lin An didn't say anything, but pushed Lin Wan away with her hand in disgust, indicating that she shouldn't press down on her.
Zhou Ya felt sorry for Lin An's health and advised, "Miss Lin, let's talk about these things later. He needs to rest now."
Zhou Chen felt sorry for Lin Wan and helped her to the side: "Let him rest well."
To everyone's surprise, without Lin Wan's obstruction, Lin An directly tore off the various monitoring devices on his body, rolled off the ground, and stood up.
He doesn't look like someone who was just poisoned and unconscious at all; his physical condition is excessively good.
Lin An walked straight up to Tong Jiaojiao and knelt down with a thud: "Aunt Tong, I can't thank you enough. From now on, you are my mother!"
After saying that, he kowtowed three times.
"Child, be careful not to stumble! What are you doing?" Everything happened so fast that Tong Jiaojiao quickly reached out to help Lin An up: "Get up quickly!"
"I won't get up if you don't agree to be my mother!"
"Silly child, of course your aunt agrees. Your uncle and I have long regarded you as our own child."
“I have long regarded you and Uncle Leng as my second parents. I always wanted to wait until I became strong before formally recognizing you as my godparents. After this experience, I have realized that time waits for no one, and nothing can wait. I cannot leave any regrets in life. I will recognize you today.”
Lin An was telling the truth; he did indeed treat the couple as family. However, the reason he was able to directly acknowledge them as godmothers was because he had come to terms with it and was ready to take advantage of their connections. Although he hadn't woken up yet, he had clearly heard the conversation inside the room.
With such a powerful connection to the Tongjia clan in the capital, of course they want to climb up to them. If it were Lin Zhe, he would cling to Tong Jiaojiao to the death. Lin An has completely let go; if you want to be better than the bad guys, you have to be even more shameless.
"Alright, alright, child, get up. We agree, we agree a thousand times over." Leng Feng and Tong Jiaojiao helped Lin An up.
Zhou Shengren, standing to the side, secretly gave Lin An a thumbs up in his heart. A man's knees are worth gold, and he knelt well and skillfully. His godmother is truly devoted!
He had always thought Lin An was an aloof person, always indifferent, and didn't know how to build relationships. Even though Lin An had saved his life, one would think that Lin An could have used the Zhou family's connections to his advantage, but he still went ahead with his business as usual. He even only learned about Xiao An's company from Xu Hai.
Zhou Shengren was somewhat disappointed by this. People who don't know how to integrate resources won't go far, and people who care too much about face won't make big money. Seeing him like this today, he was very gratified. Lin An got on the good side of the Tong family, and the Zhou family got on the good side of Lin An. In a way, it was like the Zhou family got on the good side of the Tong family. It was a win-win situation, with everything flourishing.
Zhou Shengren clasped his hands together and quickly stepped forward to congratulate them: "Congratulations, congratulations! This is my first time at Yongji, and I feel like I'm part of the family."
Xu Hai and Master Qin also rushed forward to offer their congratulations, and the ward was instantly filled with joy.
Just then, Lin Xia, her pants covered in mud, walked in. Seeing Lin An jumping around, she exclaimed in surprise, "Lin An! You're alright?"
She's perfectly fine, so all that suffering she endured along the way was for nothing.
Lin Wancai suddenly remembered that Lin Xia had said she had gone out a long time ago, and asked, "Why did it take you so long to get here?"
Lin Xia said apologetically, "The rain was too heavy, and I couldn't get a taxi. But the wind was so strong that I couldn't walk, so I waited for the rain to stop before I could get a taxi to come here."
Lin An couldn't help but think to himself, "Why the hell didn't you wait until I was cold before you came? You can't even catch a hot meal before I'm done eating shit."
Xu Mo felt a headache coming on as soon as he saw Lin Xia, and tugged at Lu Miao's sleeve: "Dr. Lu, with so many people, it's not good for Lin An's recovery, is it?"
Lu Miao quickly reminded everyone, "It's already very late, everyone should let Lin An get some rest."
After hearing what Dr. Lu said, the new mother of Lin An, Tong Jiaojiao, quickly expressed her heartache:
"Dr. Lu is right. Thank you all for your help to my Xiao An. Let Xiao An rest today. Our family will never forget your kindness."
Upon hearing this, everyone bid farewell.
