When Duan Sisi heard her ask this, she became serious and tried her best to put together what she knew from her memory and what Qiao Chen had told her.
“Yesterday was actually fine, and Xiaoyu had a lot of fun. It’s just that she got tired of playing and didn’t have time to set up the tent, so I suggested that we cook first and have Qiaochen watch over Xiaoyu.”
"Qiao Chen said that shortly after I left, Chang Zishi's mother came over."
"Chang Zishi's mother?"
Upon hearing this address, Su Yan's expression instantly turned serious.
Duan Sisi nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's that woman who angered you in the hotel lobby. What grudge do you have against her?"
Now, whenever she thinks about these things, she always feels that they are inextricably linked to Chang Zishi's mother.
Su Yan did not answer the question, but said, "Go on."
Duan Sisi knew that she had her own thoughts, so she didn't press her for more information.
"Chang Zishi's mother told him that the child's father hadn't come and they couldn't set up the tent, so she asked him for help. Qiao Chen went, and before leaving, he told Xiaoyu not to wander off and to wait where she was. But when we came back, Xiaoyu was gone."
Su Yan followed her words and fell into deep thought.
Duan Sisi tentatively asked, "Why don't you wait until Xiaoyu wakes up and ask her again? I think once you've asked her about this, Xiaoyu will basically know the truth."
Su Yan snapped out of her thoughts and nodded in agreement with what she said.
"I'll ask Xiaoyu about it properly when she wakes up tomorrow. It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
When Duan Sisi saw that she was being chased away, she immediately became unhappy.
"Su Yan, don't you consider me a friend?"
Su Yan sighed helplessly and explained with a smile, "If you don't go back, who will bring food to my daughter and me tomorrow morning? Who will cover my shift so I can get some rest? Can you really bear to let me stay up all night and all day?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Sisi's brows relaxed and she became happy.
"That's more like it. I'll be going now. Take care of yourself, I'll come first thing tomorrow morning."
Watching her wave goodbye and walk away, Su Yan added worriedly, "Don't come too early. Have your Qiao Chen pick you up. It's not safe at night!"
After Duan Sisi left, Su Yan returned to her ward.
Su Xiaoyu was sleeping soundly when Su Yan touched her forehead; the fever had subsided.
But to prevent her from getting a fever again in the middle of the night, Su Yan didn't sleep well all night, lying down and getting up repeatedly to check her temperature.
Finally, after dawn, Su Xiaoyu's fever subsided, and Su Xiaoyu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
When Su Xiaoyu woke up, she opened her sleepy eyes and saw Su Yan looking exhausted.
"Awake? Are you hungry? Your Aunt Sisi will bring you some porridge in a little while."
Su Yan asked softly, but Su Xiaoyu just looked at her without saying a word.
Su Yan's eyes dimmed slightly as she continued softly, "Are you still complaining that your mother didn't protect you well?"
Su Xiaoyu lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Su Yan felt a pang of sadness, but forced herself to act as if nothing was wrong.
"Mommy was wrong. From now on, Mommy will be there for Xiaoyu no matter what, okay?"
Su Xiaoyu remained silent.
Just as Su Yan was at a loss for what to do, Su Xiaoyu suddenly moved, took out a sketchbook from her schoolbag, opened a page and handed it to her.
Su Yan subconsciously took the sketchbook, looked down at it, and was instantly stunned.
The picture book contains a colorful butterfly specimen.
"It's for my mom."
Su Xiaoyu spoke, her voice soft and sweet.
Su Yan's nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears. She asked, "You went into the woods all by yourself just to help your mother get this butterfly specimen?"
"no."
Su Xiaoyu answered crisply and decisively.
"It was Xiaobao's mother who told me that she was coming, so I went."
"Xiao Bao's mom?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't realize who this little treasure's mother was.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed in surprise, "It's Lin Hui!"
When Duan Sisi arrived with the porridge, Su Yan didn't even have time to take a sip before hurriedly saying, "Can you watch Xiaoyu for me? I have something important to do."
Duan Sisi was puzzled, but still advised, "What's the rush? Have some porridge before you go!"
But before she could finish speaking, Su Yan had vanished.
Duan Sisi looked at the empty doorway with a bewildered expression, then turned to Su Xiaoyu and smiled, "Your mother doesn't have the chance to enjoy this, why don't you come and have some of Auntie's porridge?"
Su Xiaoyu subconsciously shrank back. Could she refuse?
At this moment, Duan Sisi was like the Poison Queen trying to coax Snow White into eating the poisoned apple, approaching with a sly smile as she held the bowl.
As soon as Su Yan left the hospital, she hailed a taxi.
She dialed a phone number.
I guess it was morning; the phone rang for a long time before someone finally answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
The person on the other end of the phone sounded very groggy, probably because they had been woken up by the call.
"Changqun? This is Miss Su."
Su Yan's words instantly dispelled all of Chang Qun's drowsiness.
Changqun was startled, and his hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
He asked incredulously, "President Su?"
“It’s me,” Su Yan said succinctly. “I need to reconsider your company’s investment project, but I would like to meet with you for a face-to-face discussion.”
Changqun would naturally not refuse such a reasonable and even wonderful request.
His face was beaming with excitement, and he readily agreed.
"Mr. Su, of course, I'll book a Michelin-starred restaurant right away."
Su Yan interrupted him, "No need for Michelin-starred restaurants, Suqiu Pavilion will do."
Changqun nodded hurriedly, even complimenting, "Good, teahouse is good, quiet place is good for business!"
Su Yan could hear the joy in his voice.
She added slowly, "Oh, and bring your wife too."
Changqun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Gao Shuyun, who was still sleeping soundly in bed.
"Bring my wife?"
Su Yan didn't answer and decisively hung up the phone.
The busy tone on the phone left Changqun completely bewildered.
But given the urgency of the company's situation, he didn't have time to think about the reasons and pulled Gao Shuyun, who was still asleep, out of bed.
Gao Shuyun was having a sweet dream when she was suddenly woken up, and she was clearly grumpy when she woke up.
What are you doing?!
Changqun urged hastily, "Get up and change your clothes quickly! Come with me to discuss investment projects!"
Gao Shuyun was puzzled. She had wanted to see this kind of world with him before, but he had always scolded her. What was wrong with him today that he wanted to take her?
Seeing Changqun's impatient expression, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She found a decent outfit, put on some light makeup, and went out with Changqun.
