Chapter 25: Extremely Strong Combat Power
"Let's go." Li Zhi replied.
Gu Yu nodded, reached out and quickly touched Li Yanjing's head, then turned around and followed Gu Yuntian.
Li Yanjing: “?”
Jiang Ruyun naturally saw that scene as well. She smiled, retracted her gaze, turned to look at Li Zhi, and said, "Zhizhi, I'll have Yanran bring the meal to you later."
"Mom, I can order takeout myself. It doesn't have to be so troublesome..." Li Zhi said.
"Takeout is not as clean and nutritious as homemade food. Besides, Yan Jing is still growing up. You adults may not care, but you can't be so careless with children."
"You don't have to order anymore. Mom will have them make it for you every day." Jiang Ruyun's expression turned serious and she said firmly, "Just tell me what you want to eat. The chef at home can make it."
Li Zhi glanced at her little radish head. Since it was about the child, she really couldn't refute it. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mom."
Jiang Ruyun nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Mom will be discharged tomorrow, but I plan to stay and take care of you."
Li Zhi disagreed, "Mom, no need. You've just recovered and need to rest. Why are you still taking care of me?"
Gu Yanran reached out and took Jiang Ruyun's arm. "Yes, Mom, what my sister said is right. You just had surgery and your body is recovering. The doctor also said that you should rest well when you go back. How about letting me take care of my sister personally?"
Li Zhi's eyes fell on her, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It's okay. There's no need for Sister Yanran to take care of me personally. I don't need anything to be taken care of. It's enough for me to have Yan Jing help me get things."
"Yan Jing is a child after all, and some things still require an adult to be around for convenience." Gu Yanran said.
Jiang Ruyun nodded, "Yes, Zhizhi, you still need an adult to look after you."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Yanjing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Grandma, I can take good care of Mom, you don't have to worry. Besides, Mom and I don't like having outsiders around, we would feel uncomfortable."
Gu Yanran's expression was a little stiff. This damn kid, before even returning to the Gu family, he had already started to think of himself as the master.
She bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Yan Jing, you really still hate me, don't you?"
Li Yanjing tilted his head, his round eyes shining black. "No, I'm telling the truth. Otherwise, why wouldn't we even hire a caregiver? And I'm not wrong. You have no blood relationship with grandma or mom, so aren't you an outsider?"
Gu Yanran: “…”
"Oh, okay, okay, let's discuss finding someone to look after it later." Jiang Ruyun tried to smooth things over. "Zhizhi, Yanran and I will go back to my place to see if the food has arrived. If it has, we'll bring it to you."
Li Zhi finally discovered that this little rascal was extremely powerful and could knock out the opponent without her even having to make a move.
She suppressed a smile on her face and nodded slightly, "Oh, okay, thank you, Mom."
"It's okay, we'll go." Jiang Ruyun greeted the mother and son with a smile, and then took Gu Yanran out of the ward.
After the two of them left, Li Zhi gave Li Yanjing, who was standing beside the bed, a thumbs-up. "Son, you're awesome! You didn't even need Mom to help you."
Li Yanjing nodded calmly, picked up the dining table beside the bed, set it across the bed, and waited for dinner.
…
In the other ward.
Jiang Ruyun sat down beside the bed, took Gu Yanran's hand and patted it gently, comforting her: "Yanran, you don't have to take what Yan Jing said to heart. After all, he is still young and doesn't understand many things. He just says whatever comes to his mind."
Gu Yanran smiled and said, "Mom, I understand what you said. Besides, I didn't take it to heart."
She paused, then held her hand, and continued hesitantly, "It's just that I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Ruyun asked.
Gu Yanran bit her lip and said slowly, "I'm afraid my sister thinks the same way. Mom, you also said that children don't understand so much. They only say that because they are taught by the people around them."
"Do you think Yan Jing said those words because his sister taught him to say them..."
"This..." Jiang Ruyun looked a little hesitant.
Gu Yanran sighed, "Once I find my biological parents, I will leave immediately. That way, there won't be outsiders in the house who would make my sister and her family uncomfortable."
Jiang Ruyun frowned, "Yanran, you are not an outsider, don't think like that. Even if you are not my biological daughter, in my eyes you are still my biological daughter. I can be your godmother."
"Mom, thank you..." Gu Yanran said with a touched look on her face.
Jiang Ruyun pulled her to sit beside her and put his arm around her shoulders, "Good girl."
Gu Yanran's eyes flickered, and thinking of the marriage with the Xie family, she asked tentatively: "Mom, you said that my sister has been married and has children, so does her engagement with the Xie family have to be..."
Jiang Ruyun was slightly stunned. If she hadn't mentioned the marriage, she would have been immersed in the joy of finding her biological daughter and would have forgotten about it for a while.
Logically speaking, since Li Zhi has been found, the engagement with the Xie family should be transferred from Gu Yanran to her.
But no matter how tolerant the Xie family is, they will never let their only son marry a divorced woman with children.
So the final result of this engagement was that it was invalidated.
"mom?"
Jiang Ruyun came back to her senses. "I'm afraid your sister's engagement with the Xie family will have to be cancelled. You know the reason yourself. After your sister is discharged from the hospital and returns home, your father and I will personally visit the Xie family and cancel the engagement."
"But our family has just reached a big cooperation with the Xie family recently. If we cancel this engagement, will it affect this cooperation..." Gu Yanran said worriedly.
"That shouldn't happen. After all, we have no other choice. We can't just lie to the Xie family and marry your sister off. If the truth is revealed one day, it will be hard to deal with it."
Jiang Ruyun paused and continued, "And we went over to apologize sincerely. The fact that your sister was married and had children was something we couldn't have anticipated. How could the Xie family not understand? So don't worry about it."
"That's right." Gu Yanran responded, and then said casually, "Originally, this engagement was between me and Brother Tingzhou. Now that my sister is back, it's natural for her to be engaged. After all, I've occupied her position for more than 20 years. It's a pity that my sister can't fulfill this engagement due to her own reasons."
Jiang Ruyun nodded, "Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it."
