Jiang Jinxiu stopped what she was doing upon hearing this.
After tidying up his clothes and hair, he quietly gave the old lady a grateful look.
Seeing that Gu Xichen hadn't let go yet, and with the doctor almost at the door, she said, "Xichen, let go."
Gu Xichen then let go of Liu Jianjun's hand and casually tossed him toward the door.
Liu Jianjun rolled on the ground and actually rolled out.
He endured the pain and got up, pointing at Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu: "You, you actually dared to hit me? Jiang Jinxiu, don't come crying to me in the future, you'll regret it."
"roll!"
Gu Xichen rebuked him sternly.
Liu Jianjun subconsciously shuddered and quickly ran outside, muttering to himself, "You'll regret this, you'll regret this."
Jiang Jinxiu rolled her eyes.
It was because she trusted him that she suffered so much.
Several doctors rushed in after hearing the screams, only to see Liu Jianjun running away in a disheveled state.
Looking at the people in the ward, and then at Liu Jianjun's back, he said angrily, "No causing trouble in the hospital!"
Jiang Jinxiu quickly laughed it off, saying, "Doctor, we've been very well-behaved and haven't caused any trouble. It's just that person who's sick."
An elderly woman standing nearby chimed in, "Yes, that person is crazy. He comes here looking for trouble. It's alright now, it's alright now."
The doctor glanced at them again and then left.
Jiang Jinxiu was very grateful to the old woman: "Thank you for helping me, Auntie."
The old woman waved her hand with a smile, "It's alright, you little girl, you have to keep your eyes open in the future, don't trust just anyone."
"Yes, I understand, Auntie."
Jiang Jinxiu wanted to say something, but she noticed the old woman was giving her meaningful glances. She instantly understood.
She quickly changed her expression, raised her hand in front of Gu Xichen, and said in a pitiful voice, "Xichen, it hurts..."
Her tone was as delicate and sweet as it could possibly be.
Gu Xichen felt that her mood today was like a roller coaster, going up and down.
Didn't she used to trust Liu Jianjun a lot?
Judging from her expression just now, it looked like she wanted to kill him.
For some reason, he felt better and better when she hit him.
Seeing her looking at him so delicately and weakly, he felt his heart melt.
He held her hand tenderly and blew on it gently, saying, "From now on, let me handle the hitting. You just need to say something."
The old lady, seeing the two make up as if nothing had happened, beamed with joy.
I sighed to myself, "It's so good to be young."
"Bed number three, Jiang Jinxiu, take her temperature."
The nurse's words suddenly broke the ripples of their affection as the two were still gazing at each other tenderly.
Upon hearing the nurse's voice, Gu Xichen immediately released Jiang Jinxiu's hand, as if he had done something wrong.
Jiang Jinxiu was both amused and exasperated.
After confirming that their fever had subsided and their body temperature was normal, the doctor informed them that they could be discharged after completing the necessary procedures.
Hearing that she could be discharged from the hospital, Jiang Jinxiu was very happy, but when she saw the old lady next to her, she felt a little reluctant to leave.
Although they had only spent less than two days together, she really liked this lovely old lady.
For two days now, the old lady has been fed and cared for by the nurses, and she hasn't seen her family.
She couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.
It turns out the old lady's home wasn't here, but in Beijing.
She came here to find her child. Her child was switched at birth, and the person who took her child's place died in the war.
She had always wanted to find her child, but the times they lived in were too chaotic, making it extremely difficult to find him.
She received some news and wanted to go see him, hoping to see her son again before she died.
However, due to the circumstances of that era, a letter of introduction was required to go anywhere, so she kept putting it off.
I finally had the chance to come here to look for something, but unfortunately my body couldn't take it.
Her eldest son arranged this hospital for her.
However, due to work commitments, they were all unable to make it.
However, her eldest daughter-in-law was already on her way to pick her up.
The old woman told Jiang Jinxiu many of her stories, which made Jiang Jinxiu feel very uncomfortable.
This era has witnessed too many joys and sorrows.
After Gu Xichen returned with the formalities, just as the two were about to leave, the old woman suddenly looked at Jiang Jinxiu with a hopeful expression: "Girl, can you stay with this old woman a little longer? Go back later, it's still early to go back now."
Jiang Jinxiu had just been reborn, and she actually wanted to be with Gu Xichen more, but she couldn't bear to see this old woman all alone in front of her.
A little voice inside her was telling her to spend more time with the old woman, or she would regret it.
Seeing the old woman's reluctant eyes, Gu Xichen also noticed his wife's dilemma: "Wife, why don't you stay with your mother a little longer? We can go back later, anyway, there are no oxcarts to take us back now."
Upon hearing Gu Xichen's words, Jiang Jinxiu excitedly went over and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Gu Xichen's face instantly became burning hot.
He was about to say something when he realized that Jiang Jinxiu had already run to the old lady's side.
They left, leaving only the elderly woman in the ward. Although there were three beds, the hospital hadn't sent anyone to the other one in the past few days.
Gu Xichen always granted Jiang Jinxiu's requests.
Jiang Jinxiu chatted with the old lady, while Gu Xichen watched her silently from the side.
