Before she even reached the elevator, Liao Nanxing caught up with her.
"Wait, let's talk."
Zhou Chunhua smiled.
"What are we talking about? If it's about who will take care of your mother, then I don't have time. But if it's about you leaving with nothing, then I can still find the time."
Liao Nanxing looked around awkwardly.
"If you still can't calm down, then let's talk again next time."
Watching him pull his suit jacket tighter and scurry away like a mouse, Zhou Chunhua felt ridiculous.
I really don't know how I could have been so blind to have fallen for such a thing!
She had heard their conversation clearly just now.
Seven years!
Seven years!
It turns out that the year Su Mu was admitted to Jiangda University, these two scoundrels got together.
"September 2017?"
“September 2017…” Zhou Chunhua’s heart skipped a beat.
This couple got together in 2017, and Nini also went missing in 2017!
A terrible thought popped into her head.
She was jolted awake by a sudden, piercing car horn.
She quickly retreated to the sidewalk, panting heavily.
Could it be... just as she thought?
Thinking of this, she quickly took out her phone, first calling Juliana, and then dialing the contacts in her address book.
This way.
After being rescued, Xu Xiuzhen was admitted to a single room next to Sumu.
Liao Nanxing, who was signing at the nurses' station, felt the nurses' strange looks and could not hide his panic.
That once beautiful signature is now written like scribbles.
After settling his mother in, he didn't go to the next ward. Instead, he went to the stairwell, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
The sparks flickered, and the swirling smoke, like the lingering worries in his heart, enveloped him tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid of Zhou Chunhua causing a scene at his workplace.
The cigarette burned out, and my mood improved slightly.
In just two days, Zhou Chunhua displayed a fierceness she had never shown before, and her methods were perfectly controlled.
One more step, and it will break through that barrier, making him determined to divorce by any means necessary.
But it was precisely this unspoken understanding that made him hesitate.
Therefore... Zhou Chunhua not only underwent a drastic change in personality, but also deliberately set such harsh conditions that she knew he could not meet...
Is she trying to persuade him to stay?!
With a sharp, sizzling sound, a burning pain shot through his skin, and Liao Nanxing's previously wavering heart found itself settling down.
That's right!
Zhou Chunhua married far away and never went out to work after marriage. She simply couldn't survive on her own without him.
In that case, he wouldn't need to worry.
After all, no matter how much Zhou Chunhua makes a scene, she can't possibly take it to the school. If she causes him to lose his job, she won't get away with it either.
Having made up his mind, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray on top of the trash can next to him.
After tidying himself up and stepping out of the building, he bumped into Su Mu, who was searching for him everywhere.
Hearing that his mother had woken up, he felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.
As soon as he entered the ward, Xu Xiuzhen waved to him, signaling him to come over.
Liao Nanxing quickly pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Xu Xiuzhen, who had just undergone surgery, had an oxygen mask on her nose and various instruments attached to her hands. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Mom, the doctor said you're fine. Don't worry, just rest and recover, and you can be discharged soon," Liao Nanxing said gently.
Xu Xiuzhen slightly moved her head, her gaze sweeping over Su Mu, and her expression changed again.
Su Mu's eyes flickered, and she quickly stepped forward: "Mom, would you like some water?"
As she spoke, she found a cup and took it to fill with water.
The water was brought, but when she carried it through the door, she let out a loud "Ouch!" and almost fell over.
Liao Nanxing, who was scared half to death, shook off the old lady's hand and ran to help Su Mu.
"Look at you! You need someone to take care of you! Why are you going to fetch water?"
“But Mom needs to be taken care of too,” she whispered. “There’s no one else at home, so I have to do it myself.”
"Just hire a caregiver! Perfect, you live next door, so the two of you can take care of her together."
Su Mu raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.
But Xu Xiuzhen was in so much pain in bed!
From the moment she was born until now, the culprit who caused her this tragedy has not yet come forward.
That shrew Zhou Chunhua! What is she trying to do? She's gone too far!
Why hire a caregiver? What a waste of money! Let Zhou Chunhua come and take care of her bodily functions. The Liao family doesn't keep idle people!
She hummed and waved her hand, trying to express her thoughts.
"What's wrong, Mom? Are you feeling unwell?" Liao Nanxing went over to check on her.
Xu Xiuzhen kept humming and moaning.
Su Mu tugged at Liao Nanxing's sleeve: "Mom doesn't mean she wants Master's wife to come to the hospital to take care of her, does she?"
Xu Xiuzhen, who had just been humming, immediately stopped.
Not only did she not hum, she also nodded vigorously.
"Mom! You're already like this, why are you still making things difficult for yourself?"
Xu Xiuzhen: "Mmm~ Mmm~ Mmm..."
Su Mu: "A Nan, Mom has a heart condition, please don't make her angry anymore."
“Mmm! Mmm…” Xu Xiuzhen nodded, pointing at Su Muzhi.
"Why don't you call your teacher's wife and ask her to come over? Mom's situation is special right now. Your teacher's wife is angry with me, but she won't abandon Mom like this."
Xu Xiuzhen started nodding again, seemingly agreeing with Su Mu.
Liao Nanxing reluctantly took out his phone, but after thinking for a long time, he just couldn't bring himself to press the button.
Su Mu looked on anxiously, his front teeth almost digging into the flesh of his lower lip.
