The two men who were fighting fiercely stopped and went to help Zhao Xiaolan.
Lin Ye pushed them away, picked up his unconscious mother, and rushed to the hospital.
"The tests show nothing serious. Just wait for him to wake up," the doctor concluded after reviewing the scans.
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Liu Zhengfeng and Mu Chengyi exchanged a disapproving glance, both still feeling a bit scared. Their faces remained anxious as they stared at Zhao Xiaolan, hoping she would wake up soon.
"Why don't you all go back first? Lin Ye and I are here, we'll take good care of her," Lu Wanqing said to them, seeing so many people gathered around the hospital bed.
Mu Chengyi's face darkened, and he said in a fawning tone, "Well, Aye, I know you're probably blaming me, but at this time, let me stay with your mother!"
His hair was already turning gray, and his tone was pitiful. Lin Ye ultimately didn't say the harsh words to drive him away.
Liu Zhengfeng didn't leave either, and said firmly, "Xiao Lan was holding on to me just now, she definitely needs me, I can't leave!"
He had imagined countless scenarios of what Zhao Xiaolan's husband would find, always reminding himself not to have any improper thoughts. But now that Mu Chengyi had actually appeared, and was a man who looked refined and gentle, he had the idea of holding onto Zhao Xiaolan tightly.
From Lin Ye's few words, he had already figured out that Mu Chengyi was now a married man, and since he had a new family, he shouldn't be bothering Zhao Xiaolan anymore.
Anyway, his decision to stay was a formal way of expressing his feelings to Lin Ye.
Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye exchanged a glance, shook their heads helplessly, and were not surprised by Liu Zhengfeng's choice.
Since everyone wants to stay, then everyone should stay. Taking care of a patient is indeed hard work, especially at night, when we need to take turns on duty.
"Okay, but you two mustn't fight, or you'll disturb Mom," Lu Wanqing instructed.
These two men, both so old, are still acting like children.
Having received permission, the two quickly moved chairs and sat down beside Zhao Xiaolan's hospital bed, one on each side, sitting upright and staring intently at her face.
It was almost noon, so Lu Wanqing asked Lin Ye to go to the hospital cafeteria to get lunch so that she could solve the problem of eating. She was going back to Liu Zhengfeng's house because the three babies had woken up and needed to be fed.
Lu Wanqing didn't know how things had turned out this way. If she and Lin Ye hadn't gone to find Mu Chengyi, none of this would have happened!
Mu Xiaoting probably doesn't know about this yet. I wonder what she'll think when she finds out?
In short, things are a bit complicated!
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoting found out faster than Lu Wanqing had imagined.
Wenli cried at home for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became. So she called the Shengli Brigade headquarters to find Mu Xiaoting.
Despite being pregnant, she rushed home immediately when her mother, with tears in her eyes, begged her to come back.
Wen Li told Mu Chengyi about his situation.
"What? He's Lin Ye's father? Does that mean we're siblings?" Mu Xiaoting couldn't believe it.
Wen Lin glared at her with her red, tear-filled eyes, "You heartless wretch! The important thing now is what to do with your mother. Once your father regains his memory, he should go find that Zhao Xiaolan."
“Mom, that’s not right of you. Since you knew he was married, why didn’t you just send him back when he had amnesia? What are you going to do with him now? No wonder he needs to go out and calm down!” Mu Xiaoting was unusually calm.
Because Wenli was her mother, she didn't say anything even harsher.
"What do you know? I took a liking to him at first sight when he was still called Lin Baoguo. It was Zhao Xiaolan who beat me to it. I had the chance to meet him again later, that was fate!"
Wenli didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Mu Xiaoting was so angry she didn't know what to say. She got up and prepared to go find Lu Wanqing.
She knew that Lu Wanqing hadn't gone home; she must still be at Liu Zhengfeng's house.
"Mom, think about it carefully. Now that he has regained his memory, you should know that you would have to face this day sooner or later. There has to be an end to it!"
Before leaving, Mu Xiaoting left behind a sentence.
When Wenli saw her daughter say that to her, she slumped onto the sofa and cried even harder.
Mu Xiaoting arrived at Liu Zhengfeng's house soon.
She pulled Lu Wanqing, who had just finished breastfeeding, and asked her directly how Lin Ye planned to handle his father's matter.
Lu Wanqing smiled bitterly: "Let's not talk about your stepfather for now. My mother is in the hospital right now. Captain Liu and your stepfather got into a fight over my mother and accidentally injured her!"
"Is it serious?" Mu Xiaoting asked in alarm.
"They're still unconscious, and neither of them will give in. They're both at the hospital with them!" Lu Wanqing recounted the situation.
Mu Xiaoting sighed, pacing anxiously. "My mom is crying her eyes out at home. She made a mistake back then, and now she doesn't know what to do!"
The two of them were in the middle of it, but not directly involved, so it was inappropriate to say many things. They could only take it one step at a time.
"Xiaoting, don't be too anxious. You're pregnant, go back and rest! Let your mother think about it and find a solution," Lu Wanqing comforted her.
Just then, Duoduo suddenly urinated and needed a diaper change, so Lu Wanqing didn't say anything and went to attend to her own business.
Mu Xiaoting returned home blankly and saw that Wen Li was exhausted and sitting on the sofa in a daze.
She quickly went to the kitchen, found some leftover rice, made an egg fried rice dish, and brought it to her.
"Mom, have something to eat first."
Wenli was indeed hungry. She picked up the bowl, shoveled a few grains of rice into her mouth, and chewed mechanically.
Mu Xiaoting sat down casually. "I went to find Lu Wanqing. I heard that Dad ran into Aunt Lan and Captain Liu together and got into a fight with Captain Liu. He accidentally injured Aunt Lan, and she's still in the hospital!"
Wen Li, who had been lifeless, suddenly trembled, threw down her bowl and chopsticks, and glared sharply at her daughter, "What? Your father fought with another man for Zhao Xiaolan? Your father is such a refined person, how could he..."
As she spoke, Wen Li burst into laughter, but the laughter was more like a grimace. "I raised your father to be like a professor; he never raised his voice, never argued with anyone, but when he saw Zhao Xiaolan with another man, he actually hit her..."
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and picked up a bowl of fried rice with eggs and slammed it heavily on the ground.
"He truly loved Elaine Chao. I've loved him for so many years, yet I couldn't warm his heart!"
Wenli curled up on the sofa again and burst into tears.
Seeing her usually calm and composed mother so agitated, Mu Xiaoting broke out in a cold sweat, fearing her mother might do something even more extreme. She could only try to reason with her.
"Mom, why don't you let go?"
