Chapter 3: It's inappropriate to not return the favor

A middle-aged man in a neat military uniform and with a dignified demeanor appeared with his guards.

Xu Muzhou stood up and saluted.

Xiao Si nodded, "How is Qingru?"

"Still in surgery."

"Thank you so much today. Please come to my house some other day and let Qingru thank you in person."

"It's a piece of cake."

Xiao Si's eyes were full of praise. A budding pilot at the age of ten was a rare talent.

With such a good character, your future is limitless.

He nodded and walked to his wife's side.

When her husband arrived, Xiao's mother looked for someone to rely on. "Old Xiao, Qing is only 18 years old this year. She is still in her prime. If something happens..."

He patted his wife's shoulder and interrupted her, "Don't worry too much. No news is the best news."

Glancing in the direction of the operating room, the usually reserved man's eyes were filled with worry.

It took a full two hours from the time Xiao Qingru entered the operating room to the end of the operation.

The first person to come out was the doctor. Xu Muzhou rushed forward and asked, "Doctor, how is Comrade Xiao?"

"The operation was very successful. I will be hospitalized for another three days for observation. If there is no problem, I can be discharged and go home."

As Xu Muzhou expressed his gratitude, he began to relax.

Only then did I feel a chill on my back; it turned out I was sweating.

Xiao's mother patted her chest and said, "Thank God, please don't let this happen again. My heart can't bear it anymore."

"What are you saying, you crow-mouthed fool?"

Although he spoke toughly, his tone was gentle. The guard was already used to this way of dealing with people.

No matter how powerful he is outside, when he gets home he is just an ordinary man who is afraid of his wife.

At this time, the door of the operating room opened again and Xiao Qingru was pushed out by the nurse.

This time, Xu Muzhou did not step forward.

I glanced at Xiao Qingru from a distance across the crowd. Her face was still as pale as ever, but she had already woken up.

It’s good to wake up, Xu Muzhou thought.

The things on the chair that belonged to Xiao Qingru had been taken away by the security guards. He had nothing to do here, so the tall man hesitated for a moment and chose to leave.

Xiao Qingru was sent to the ward and stayed in the best single room.

The anesthetic had not yet worn off and she could hear the voices of people around her, but she couldn't concentrate no matter what.

It seemed as if in a moment, you would fall into a deep sleep.

"Comrade Xiao, you can't go to bed yet."

Hearing the nurse say this, Xiao Qingru tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't hold on for a few seconds before closing them again.

"Family members should talk to the patient more and never let him fall asleep. Observe him for two hours first, and then he can go to sleep if he is fine."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Serving the people is what we should do."

After giving the patient the IV and explaining some precautions, the nurse left the ward.

Xiao's mother leaned over and patted her daughter's face, "Qingru, don't fall asleep yet, let's talk."

Xiao Qingru responded in a daze, her eyelids felt heavy and she just wanted to sleep.

"Tell mom if it was that bitch Jiang Chuan who left you on the way?"

Before he regained consciousness, Xiao Qingru burst into tears and spoke incoherently. The only words that could be heard clearly were "Jiangchuan".

Xiao slammed the table, "What's going on? What does Jiang Chuan mean by abandoning Qing Ru on the road?"

"What else can I do? You're meddling in other people's business again."

Xiao's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Fortunately, Qingru of our family is fine, otherwise I would not be able to forgive him."

Since you have brought the person out, you should be fully responsible. What's the point of leaving him in the snow?

At least you can find someone nearby to help look after Qingru.

This murderer was Qingru's fiancé who grew up with her. How could he be so cruel?

Seeing their daughter crying silently, the couple felt extremely distressed.

Xiao's mother is a woman, more emotional than a man. "I said to cancel the engagement, but you said it's not good to go back on your word. If you had separated them earlier, would this have happened?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't raise his head in front of his wife, and said in a low voice: "If he didn't take the person out, Qingru would be alone at home, and it might take longer."

"That's better than being buried in a snowdrift! Women's bodies are different from yours, and they are most afraid of the cold!"

Xiao sighed, "Isn't it that Qingru is unwilling to break up with the man surnamed Jiang? Otherwise, can I force them to be together?"

That hits the nail on the head. Free love is popular nowadays and they can't interfere too much.

Mother Xiao wiped away her daughter's tears distressedly and coaxed her softly, "Jiang Chuan is unreliable, let's not have him anymore, okay?"

"Well, no."

The couple looked at each other. How sad must they be to let their daughter say such a thing?

On the other side, Jiang Chuan, after sending Du Wanqiu to the hospital, was busy looking for a doctor and paying the fees.

Natural childbirth is not something that can be done as soon as the stomach hurts. With such a delay, several hours have passed.

Only after everyone entered the delivery room did Jiang Chuan get away and return home.

But Xiao Qingru is no longer there.

녊 was about to go to the hospital to ask, but was suddenly blocked by a man.

Jiang Chuan recognized Xu Muzhou, who was Xiao Huaishu's good friend and a troublemaker from Beijing.

This person had been to Xiao's house for dinner once before, and he happened to be there.

It turned out that because the other party was a pilot, he had a good impression of Xu Muzhou. But now that he saw that he was deliberately picking trouble, that good impression disappeared.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I want to find Comrade Jiang to discuss things with."

Jiang Chuan rushed to the hospital and said coldly, "I'm busy today. If you really want to spar with me, find another time."

"I miss today."

The other party refused to give in, and Jiang Chuan was furious, "Fighting is against the rules."

Xu Muzhou sighed, "What kind of fight? It's just a competition!"

Without waiting for Jiang Chuan to refuse, he punched him in the stomach. Thinking of Xiao Qingru's fragile appearance, Xu Muzhou's eyes darkened.

His strikes were so fast, accurate and ruthless, and he specifically targeted places that others couldn't see.

Jiang Chuan used to be the dean of the family hospital, and now he has joined the army, so he is naturally not a vegetarian.

So they started fighting, punching each other hard and neither gave in.

It was not until the comrades of the guard company discovered it that they stopped.

"Fighting is a violation of discipline. Come back with us now and receive education."

Xu Muzhou touched the corner of his mouth and said, "We didn't fight, we were sparring. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Jiang Chuan was in so much pain that he could hardly straighten his back, but because he was anxious to go to the hospital to see Xiao Qingru, even though he didn't want to let Xu Muzhou get away with it, he still had to go along with what he said.

"Yes, we were just sparring. Comrade, we are not injured, so how could it be a fight? We were watching our own pace."

After much persuasion, I finally got away with it.

"Mr. Xu, I'll remember what happened today. It's rude not to return the favor."

Xu Muzhou let out a sigh of relief, and felt much better. "I'll wait for you."
