After hanging up the phone, Liao Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and placed a kiss on Su Mu's face.
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower. Tell the housekeeper to cook breakfast early. I was so busy at noon that I didn't get a bite to eat, and I'm quite hungry."
"Okay." Su Mu replied, watching Liao Nanxing go up to the second floor.
Only after Liao Nanxing's figure disappeared from sight did she turn around and take Liao Nanxing's phone out of her coat on the sofa.
She couldn't call Teacher Lin to confirm this, so she could only find the answer on Liao Nanxing's phone.
Looking at the numbers on the screensaver, she was so nervous that her hands trembled uncontrollably.
After quickly pressing a few numbers, the phone screen unlocked, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Opening the call log, she saw that the last call was indeed with Lin Zhehan, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Finally, she also checked the phone number.
Only after confirming that the phone number saved as a contact, Lin Zhehan, truly belonged to Teacher Lin, did her anxiety finally subside.
Only at this moment did Su Mu feel relieved.
It wasn't that she was overly cautious, but rather that caution is always the best policy.
During the meal, Su Mu asked Liao Nanxing, "What about the house?"
"Don't worry, Lao Lin has already thought of a solution for me." With that, Liao Nanxing got up to serve her soup, blew on it for a while, and then placed it in her hand.
He even considerately reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot."
Liao Nanxing hadn't been this considerate in a long time. Su Mu was so happy that she couldn't help but wipe her eyes and put some food on Liao Nanxing's plate.
Watching Liao Nanxing enjoying her meal beside her, she felt that the soup tasted better than usual today.
"Oh, right," Liao Nanxing said, "I'm going to the hospital to see Mom in a bit. If you're sleepy, don't wait up for me, go to bed early."
Su Mu nodded: "Don't come back too late. I'm afraid to be home alone."
As before, Liao Nanxing placed his hand on Su Mutou and rubbed it, his eyes filled with affection.
"I understand. I'll come home earlier from now on and won't leave you home alone anymore."
Su Mu felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and even the soup in his mouth, which had almost no salt flavor, tasted sweet.
She looked up, wanting to ask about Xu Xiuzhen's situation.
However, he still couldn't bring himself to speak.
Because she could never forget lying in the operating room, waiting to sign the consent form, and the doctor's repeated urging, only to have Xu Xiuzhen refuse and obstruct her from signing, almost causing her and her unborn child to die.
Unforgivable!
After finishing his meal, Liao Nanxing drove to the hospital.
A gentle evening breeze blew by; this was the best day he had been in months.
Once Zhou Chunhua's matter is settled, he can devote himself entirely to his work and then return to a peaceful life like before.
As for Su Mu, just as the old lady said, when she had no savings, no job, and no income, and was also tied down by her child, she had no choice but to stay at home and rely on him to make a living, whether she wanted to or not.
At that point, whether she likes it or not, she'll have no choice but to accept living with the old lady.
Of course, in return, he will love Su Mu even more than before, and he will definitely be a good father.
The only difference from before is that from now on he may not be able to buy Su Mu bags worth tens of thousands of yuan, take her all over the world, or let her live in a villa worth tens of millions of yuan.
So what? This is the life most people live.
Besides, with his salary, he wouldn't have to live a life of financial hardship.
Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Xu Xiuzhen getting better every day, Liao Nanxing felt even better.
He waved through the window, and the little old lady smiled at him.
The old lady seemed to be in a good mood.
Afterwards, Liao Nanxing found the doctor on duty and asked about the old lady's condition.
The doctor retrieved his medical records from the computer and said, "His vital signs are stable, and the head injury is healing well. In a few days, once the swelling on his head subsides, he can be transferred to a regular ward."
However, the patient's language function has not yet recovered, so you, the family, should be prepared.
"What do you mean? My mom might not be able to speak anymore?" Liao Nanxing asked anxiously.
"It's not that recovery is completely impossible, it's just a possibility. But don't worry, once the patient's injury is fully healed, they can go to the rehabilitation department for rehabilitation. With active treatment, the patient's chances of speech recovery will definitely be greater."
Liao Nanxing left the doctor's office with a furrowed brow, then silently smoked a cigarette in the stairwell.
The money to be spent later is one thing, but if the old lady can't speak in the future, she will definitely hold Su Mutou responsible for this debt.
Who knows what kind of chaos will ensue at home then?
Just thinking about it made Liao Nanxing's temples throb.
...
Five business days later.
Gu Yao delivered the judgment to Zhou Chunhua.
The moment she received the verdict, tears streamed down her face.
Finally! It's finally over.
"Thank you! Gu Yao, thank you. Without your help these past few days, I..." She choked up and couldn't speak.
Without Gu Yao's help, she would most likely have taken the hundreds of thousands of yuan that Liao Nanxing had given her and then silently left amidst Su Mu's mockery.
And at that moment, she won! A complete victory!
"Unfortunately, the judge took into account the newborn and his seriously ill mother, which resulted in us only receiving two-thirds."
"That's a lot already, really," Zhou Chunhua said excitedly, her words muffled.
Two-thirds is already a lot for her.
"The court has ordered Liao Nanxing to transfer the cash portion to your account within one month. However, the villa still needs to be discussed with Liao Nanxing."
