So he dialed that number again.
After a few ringing tones, the call was connected.
"Hello."
The other person's voice lacked the deep tone of their last meeting. The dry, hoarse voice, coupled with occasional coughs, clearly indicated that they were not in good condition.
He coughed lightly.
"After your injuries are treated at the hospital, contact the other party immediately, meet them to pay, and tell them everything about Su Mu's current situation. Then you can recuperate at the hospital."
Once you've gotten what you wanted, give it to the person closest to you. One last reminder: don't tell her about your current situation. You know what to say, right?
Why...why did you help me?
"Help you? We're not related, why should I help you? I'm doing this for her."
Before the man surnamed Chen could say anything more, he hung up the phone.
Since finding her, I haven't dared to inquire about her situation.
The reason I chose Jiangnan University is simply because its annual faculty and staff conference allows family members to attend.
I just want to see if she's doing well.
But Liao Nanxing never brought her along.
After much trouble, I accidentally learned that her daughter was missing.
When he learned that she was searching for her daughter behind Liao Nanxing's back, he also began to look for her.
Unfortunately, after several years, not a single piece of useful information has been obtained.
In a populous country like China, finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, the man surnamed Chen found a useful clue.
Next, we'll see if digging through this clue will lead us to her daughter.
“Su Mu”.
Gu Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the table out of habit, the rhythmic tapping sound ringing out.
Since she's given birth, it's time for her to pay back the debt she owes Hua Hua.
Find the number in your contacts and dial it...
On the other side, Su Mu, with his hair disheveled, was roaring and screaming like a madman.
Everything that could be held by hand was shattered on the ground.
Even the hospital bedside table was lying sideways under the bed.
"Ouch~ Su Mu, have you had enough?" Liao Nanxing winced in pain from the injury on his face.
"I'm making a scene?" Su Mu cried, "Why are you doing this to me? Why?"
Liao Nanxing patted his son, who was crying loudly in his arms, suppressing his temper.
"How have I treated you? Haven't I been good enough to you? All you do is cause trouble all day long, can't you be normal for once?"
"I'm not normal? Liao Nanxing! If I were truly abnormal, I would have jumped off this cliff with your son!"
"Alright! What do you want? Are you even going to live like this anymore?" Liao Nanxing had long since lost his patience after being tormented.
He admitted that he was initially deeply attracted to Su Mu.
In the years that followed, after he and Su Mu established their relationship, he was deeply immersed in their love.
But now, those feelings from those years have long since been worn away without anyone realizing it.
So much so that now, even looking at Su Mu makes him feel uncomfortable all over.
Not to mention, Su Mu keeps causing him endless trouble.
If it weren't for the child, he wouldn't be suffering like this.
Now, he didn't want to say another word to Su Mu; he just wanted to know what she wanted.
"What about what you promised me? Why haven't you kept your promise? Why do you keep calling that shameless bitch Zhou Chunhua!"
Seeing Su Mu's hysterical state, Liao Nanxing felt a deep sense of disgust.
"I didn't call her, why don't you believe me?"
Su Mu quickly picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground.
"What about the call logs? You answered two calls, but there are no call logs on your phone. What does this mean? It means you deleted the call logs after making the calls!"
"Liao Nanxing, I just gave birth to a child, I didn't throw my brain away! Why are you afraid I'll see your phone number? Isn't it because it's Zhou Chunhua's number?"
Su Mu got up from the ground and approached Liao Nanxing with a half-smile.
"Yes, she's changed; she's prettier than after the divorce. I admit, after I got pregnant, my figure changed and my skin got worse. But... but I can recover!"
I'm younger than her, aren't I? As long as I recover properly, I can become the person you used to like. You said it yourself, you said that no one but me could satisfy you!
Anan, please wait for me to turn back, okay? Don't look at her anymore, don't contact her anymore, okay? I love you, I really can't live without you.
Faced with Su Mu's approach, Liao Nanxing unconsciously retreated.
Because you never know when she might suddenly pounce on you like a madwoman, scratching and clawing.
These days, he can only go in and out wearing a hat and a mask, afraid that others will see the bloodstains on his face from the fingernails.
But he didn't know how to explain to Su Mu about his phone call with Zhou Chunhua.
If Su Mu knew that Zhou Chunhua had taken all the money...
He dared not think any further.
He swallowed hard and could only try to comfort her softly.
"Mumu, it wasn't me who called her, it was her who called me. You know, both of those calls came in, and I went out to answer them."
I deleted the call logs precisely because I didn't want to upset you. Don't worry, I've already blocked her. I promise she'll never appear in our lives again. Check the blacklist if you don't believe me.
Seeing Su Mu stop, Liao Nanxing took a deep breath.
There's a sense of relief at being rescued.
Su Mu looked down and tapped around on his phone.
"If that still doesn't work, can I leave the phone with you? You can answer the phone first from now on, okay?" He really couldn't take Su Mu's crazy torment anymore.
"Really?" Su Mu looked up at him, her dazed eyes regaining focus, a rare occurrence for her.
He nodded quickly: "Really. From today onwards, the phone will be with you. If it's not for work, I can change this number. Now you can rest assured, right?"
Su Mu nodded, then suddenly shook his head.
This terrified Liao Nanxing.
"What...is there still something you're worried about?"
"Where's your salary card? Where's your bankbook? You promised to give them to me."
"Well...didn't we agree that we'd ask Mom for it after you're discharged from the hospital and move to Yunxi? If I ask now, Mom will definitely make a scene again, right?"
Su Mu nodded, then suddenly turned around and started packing his things.
"Discharged, discharged today."
"Okay, you pack your things, I'll go find the doctor."
After carrying her child out of the ward, Liao Nanxing finally felt much better and could breathe more easily.
Ever since Su Mu started having his occasional fits of madness, he felt like he couldn't even breathe properly around Su Mu.
It's good that he's been discharged from the hospital. Once he's calmed down, life should gradually return to normal.
He quickly completed the discharge procedures.
That evening they went to Yunxijian.
"This...you bought this for me?" Su Mu looked at the small building in front of him in disbelief.
"Of course. The property deed lists you as the owner. From now on, if I want to live here, I'll have to be mindful of your mood. If you're unhappy, you can just point at the door and tell me to get out."
"Anan... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
