Chapter 4 What to do, consider it yourself

Jiang Chuan returned to the hospital and asked the nurse which ward Xiao Qingru was in.

He lingered at the door for a long time, then raised his hand and knocked.

A stern male voice sounded, "Come in."

Even though he grew up under Mr. Xiao's watchful eyes, Jiang Chuan's heart still lifted involuntarily. He took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

"uncle."

"aunt."

Xiao's mother didn't look at him well, or rather, she simply ignored Jiang Chuan.

She kept talking to her daughter, "Hold on a little longer, you'll be able to fall asleep soon."

Xiao Qingru was so drowsy that she didn't notice Jiang Chuan standing beside the bed.

He hummed, then closed his eyes.

Seeing the pitiful look of Xiao Qingru trying to force himself to sleep made Xiao's mother feel distressed. She reached out to tidy up the strands of hair around Xiao Qingru's cheek.

If possible, she really wanted to suffer for her daughter.

"Aunt, does Qingru have a stomachache? Why is it so serious?"

stomachache?

How ridiculous! Who would be so weak after having a stomachache that they even need surgery?

Although she knew that her daughter's illness was caused by Jiang Chuan, Xiao's mother still couldn't help but feel resentful.

They say that if you send a Buddha to the west, you can send him to the west. If he can't do this job, then don't give him any hope.

She looked at Jiang Chuan anxiously, "She just had surgery, didn't you see it?"

"Operation?"

Jiang Chuan was confused for a moment, "I knew the situation was so serious, if I had known earlier..."

"What's the point of saying this now?" Xiao's mother interrupted him, "We thank you for your intention to bring Qing Rulai Hospital to you, but we cannot forgive you for abandoning her on the way, and we dare not hand her over to you anymore."

Jiang Chuan pursed his dry lips, and a panic rose in his heart for no reason. "Aunt, I know I did the right thing. Please give me a chance to redeem myself."

Even though his attitude was very sincere, Xiao's mother did not waver at all.

As a mother, she has to keep a close eye on her child and not try to smooth things over.

Looking directly into Jiang Chuan's eyes, "If there is a next time, and Qing Ru and Du Wan Qiu's affairs collide, what will you choose?"

"I..." Jiang Chuan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Xiao's mother raised her hand and stopped him. "It is said that a gentleman's word is as good as a horse's. If you do something, you must say it."

No matter how nice Jiang Chuan's words sound, when the situation really arises, will he choose Qing Ru without hesitation?

Action is the best answer, and he has already submitted his answer.

Jiang Chuan knew what he should say and what he should do to calm Xiao Qingru's family. He stood straight beside the bed and silently expressed his apology.

I looked at the time and it had been two hours since the operation was over.

Xiao's mother said nothing more and just watched her daughter sleep quietly.

Xu Muzhou's words kept circling in my mind, and I felt a little scared.

"Qingru might be hungry when she wakes up, go back and make her some rice porridge."

"Who is looking at Qingru?"

"I."

"Are you at work?"

Father Xiao said, "Sir, I will wait for you to come before I leave, or I can arrange for a nurse to look after Qingru."

Jiang Chuan immediately responded, "I'll look after her. I happen to be on vacation today, so I have plenty of time."

The two elders showed trusting expressions at the same time.

Xiao's mother said directly: "Qingru is still on IV drip. If you have something to do on the way, just leave her alone."

Jiang Chuan felt so guilty that he dared not look them in the eye. "Even if the sky falls this time, I will leave."

Father Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Okay, then Qingru will be handed over to you."

Jiang Chuan was prepared for a protracted war, but he didn't expect Father Xiao to give in so easily. He was overjoyed, "Uncle, I will definitely disappoint you this time."

Xiao's mother wanted to say something, but was pulled into the ward by her husband.

"Are you crazy? How can you leave your daughter to him? If anything happens, you will regret it!"

"I did it on purpose."

"Hmm?" She looked at her husband, "What are you up to?"

"If he performs well, it proves that our daughter has poor taste. If she is called away this time, then even if I want this face, I will have to cancel the marriage for my daughter."

He patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on the ward and will make sure Qingru is safe."

She shook off her husband's hand in disgust, "Even if he performs well this time, I will not agree to let Qingru associate with him again. This man has no credibility in my eyes. There is still a long time to live, so a temporary kindness is good!"

I looked back at the ward. Since my husband said he would arrange someone to keep an eye on it, he must have done what he said.

"Go back and make the porridge. Come back here as soon as it's ready."

Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, "I'll be back soon."

After his wife had gone far away, Father Xiao opened the door and said, "Come with me."

"But it's so clear..."

The guard stood up at the right time and said with a smile: "I will look after Comrade Xiao, Comrade Jiang, you can go without worry."

I followed Father Xiao anxiously to an empty corner.

"uncle?"

Without saying anything to him, she got straight to the point and asked, "What do you think of Du Wanqiu?"

"She is my brother's widow."

"Her man's brother is only you. Do you see others being as attentive as you are?"

Jiang Chuan was at a loss, "I thought I could help."

Having lived to this age, Mr. Xiao understands too well what the four words "people's words are scary" mean.

"I'll give you two choices. One, break off the engagement with Qingru. It's up to you who you want to take care of in the future."

"Uncle, I'm breaking off the engagement!"

His sharp eyes fell on Jiang Chuan, "My daughter, don't allow others to bully her!"

He moved his lips, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

After all, Qingru was really wronged.

This time, it almost became a big problem.

As if he didn't notice Jiang Chuan's pale face, Father Xiao continued, "The second choice is that you will meet Du Wanqiu again, and her affairs will have nothing to do with you from now on."

"Uncle, if I don't take care of them, the orphans and widows will have a better life."

Father Xiao's tone became even lower. "Du Wanqiu's organization has made arrangements. After she gives birth, she will be sent back to her original place of residence. Someone will arrange a living for her and even a job for her. In addition to the pension, she and her child will not be too sad."

"But..."

"Nothing to do."

Having said all, Mr. Xiao has nothing more to say.

"It's up to you to decide what to do."
