Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Mu Baicheng was stunned.
As a son, no one understood Old Lady Mu better than him. Just as Xiaoxiao said, Old Lady Mu had always been strong-willed, and never bowed her head to anything. But now, she was actually willing to forgive Lin Guixiang and not hold a grudge, which truly surprised Mu Baicheng.
He had thought that his mother would be very upset about this situation.
Unexpectedly...
This time, his mother did not make things difficult for them on purpose.
With this in mind, Mu Baicheng turned to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, did your grandmother really say that?"
"Of course," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Dad, actually grandma likes Aunt Lin a lot, but she is tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Sometimes she doesn’t think that way at all, but the words she says can really hurt! Could you please explain this to Aunt Lin for me? Aunt Lin is such a good person, I believe she definitely won’t hold grudges against an old lady like grandma."
If Lin Guixiang were to hold a grudge against Old Lady Mu, then she would be being unreasonable!
Mu Xiaoxiao, with just a single sentence, put Lin Guixiang in a difficult position.
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
However, Mu Baicheng still thought his daughter made sense.
After all, in Mu Baicheng’s heart, Lin Guixiang had always been very understanding. Since this whole affair was a misunderstanding, clearing it up would certainly mean that Lin Guixiang wouldn’t hold it against Old Lady Mu.
Mu Baicheng smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter with Aunt Lin."
"Mhm." Mu Xiaoxiao also smiled through her tears, "Dad, then I’ll wait at the hospital with grandma for the good news from you and Aunt Lin."
Mu Baicheng nodded slightly, "Go ahead and take care of your grandmother, I’ll go to the doctor to understand the situation."
"Okay, dad," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.
Mu Baicheng went directly to the doctor’s office to inquire about Old Lady Mu’s current physical condition.
"The old lady fainted due to a rush of anger. She is old and all her organs are failing, coupled with her already frail body. This is a time when she should avoid getting agitated. You, as her children, should pay more attention," Doctor Zhang said, pushing his glasses up. "But Mr. Mu, you don’t need to worry too much. As long as the old lady stays in the hospital for a few days of rest and observation, she should be able to be discharged."
Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Very well then, thank you, Doctor Zhang."
"You’re welcome. It’s all part of our job."
Meanwhile, inside the hospital room.
Mu Xiaoxiao walked over to Zheng Niannian, "Aunt Zheng, you must be exhausted from your journey. My dad has arranged a hotel nearby for you to rest."
With that, Mu Xiaoxiao handed over a room key she had prepared in advance to Zheng Niannian.
Zheng Niannian was stunned for a moment, then said with some surprise, "This, the hotel was arranged by your dad?"
She hadn’t expected that Mu Baicheng would actually take the initiative to book a hotel for her, feeling a warmth in her heart.
"Yes," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "It’s just that my dad is a bit slow to warm up and didn’t want to tell you directly."
Zheng Niannian accepted the room key, her face flushing.
Seeing her like this, Old Lady Mu said with a smile, "Niannian, our Chengcheng is not one to beat around the bush. If he does anything wrong, please forgive him and don’t hold it against him. If he ever bothers you, just tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Okay, thank you, aunt," Zheng Niannian nodded.
Old Lady Mu scolded playfully, "Niannian, we’re family, why do you keep thanking me?"
"Exactly," Mu Xiaoxiao hugged Zheng Niannian’s arm, "Aunt Zheng, we’re going to be family."
After coming out from the doctor’s office, Mu Baicheng made a phone call to Lin Guixiang.
"Ah Xiang, I’ve arrived in Qing City. Do you have time to meet and talk?"
Lin Guixiang said, "Yes, let’s meet at the Wild Coffee in half an hour."
"Okay," Mu Baicheng nodded.
Twenty minutes later, Mu Baicheng arrived at Wild Coffee.
Lin Guixiang had also just arrived.
Having not seen Lin Guixiang for a little over a week, Mu Baicheng was very excited to see her again. He wanted to give her a hug, but felt it wasn’t quite appropriate yet.
He needed to take care of the issue with his mother first.
After they were seated, Mu Baicheng raised his hand to call the waiter, "Two lattes, please."
"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment."
After ordering coffee, Mu Baicheng looked at Lin Guixiang, "Ah Xiang, how have you been these days?"
"Not bad," Lin Guixiang nodded slightly, "And you?"
"I’ve been okay," Mu Baicheng scratched his head, "Ah Xiang, first of all, I owe you an apology. I really didn’t know my mom went to see you."
Lin Guixiang just looked at Mu Baicheng, "So, what are your thoughts on handling the situation between me and your mother?"
Just then, the waiter arrived with their coffee. Mu Baicheng took a sip, carefully considering his words, and then said, "Ah Xiang, my mom actually isn’t very good at expressing herself but she means no harm. Since she’s also in the hospital because of this incident, how about this—prepare yourself and come with me to the hospital tomorrow morning to apologize, so we can give my mom a way out, okay?"
Apologize?
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang thought she might have heard wrong.
She was to apologize to Old Lady Mu?
Although somewhat angry, Lin Guixiang did not immediately show it on her face, "Did you really understand what happened? You’re asking me to apologize to your mother?"
