In the afternoon, Ni Sitian simply didn't go to work.
She exposed the affair between Editor-in-Chief Ma and Ji Xiaoyun, so this matter is unlikely to end well.
She was mentally prepared to be fired, so she simply asked Xiao Zhang to drive her to the hospital. She wanted to see how Xiang's mother was doing and if Zhi Lan needed any help.
As she walked outside the ward, she heard Xiang Zhilan talking to her mother.
"Mom, Dad's matter will be alright." Xiang Zhilan said softly, peeling an apple for her mother.
"Really? But didn't the police say that if they can't find Manager Feng, your dad's situation will be very difficult?" Xiang's mother's voice was worried, afraid that her daughter was just trying to comfort her and put her mind at ease.
"Don't worry, Manager Feng has been found." Xiang Zhilan handed the peeled apple to her mother.
"Really? The police are so efficient these days!" Hearing this, Xiang's mother's brow relaxed slightly, but soon furrowed again, and she said worriedly, "Will that Manager Feng speak up for your father? He's the one who gave him that clivia plant. How can we explain this?"
"He will explain it clearly, and the police will investigate it thoroughly."
"I hope so. This time it's a blessing from heaven that we found Manager Feng so quickly." Xiang's mother relaxed her brow and let out a long sigh. Seeing that Xiang Zhilan was unusually silent, she said, "Zhilan, you're acting strange today. Were you just trying to comfort me or lying to me?"
"How could that be? Manager Feng has really been found." Xiang Zhilan's expression stiffened slightly, and she immediately lowered her head to cover it up. Then she stood up and said, "I'll go get a kettle of hot water."
She took the kettle and turned to leave the ward.
As soon as I opened the ward door, I bumped into Ni Sitian.
Seeing that Xiang Zhilan's expression was not good, Ni Sitian was about to ask when Xiang Zhilan grabbed her hand and pulled her into the corridor.
"Is what you and Xiang's mother said true? Manager Feng has been found?" Ni Sitian asked doubtfully, finding it a bit unbelievable.
"Yes, we really found it." Xiang Zhilan lowered her head and slowly walked forward.
Having known her for so many years, Ni Sitian naturally noticed her odd behavior. She pulled her hand back, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Xiang Zhilan bit her lip and remained silent without answering.
Ni Sitian felt more and more that Xiang Zhilan was hiding something from her and wanted to continue to ask, but Xiang Zhilan suddenly said, "My mother had a check-up this morning."
"How is Auntie's health?" Ni Sitian's heart jumped when she saw Zhi Lan's expression.
"The doctor said I need to have heart bypass surgery, scheduled for this Friday. It's not a big problem; the technology for bypass surgery in China is very good now," Xiang Zhilan said, pursing her lips.
Today is Wednesday, so there are only two days left. Dad is still in detention...
Ni Sitian looked at Xiang Zhilan with concern, "Does Xiang's mother know herself?"
"I haven't told her yet. I want to put her mind at ease about her father's situation first."
"Zhi Lan, is there something you haven't said?" Ni Sitian felt that if everything had gone so smoothly, Xiang Zhi Lan wouldn't have this expression now.
"I can't hide it from you after all." Xiang Zhilan twitched the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled, "I've agreed to Shen Muzhi's request."
Should I agree to Shen Muzhi's request? What should I agree to?
Ni Sitian was slightly stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and looked at Zhi Lan with wide eyes in surprise: "You agreed to be his sugar daddy?!"
