Whom are you trying to please?
Upon hearing the name unexpectedly, Li Ruo was taken aback and subconsciously said...
Li Daocheng patiently repeated, "Of course it's Young Master Wen. He brought some gifts today to discuss your marriage... you..."
"ill!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Ruo couldn't help but roll her eyes and abruptly hung up the phone.
What exactly triggered Wen Changfeng's behavior? He's been getting increasingly erratic these past two days!
She muttered a resentful rebuke, completely unaware that those two crisp words nearly drove Li Daocheng, who was on the other end of the phone, half to death with rage.
That evening, Li Ruo went to the hospital to visit Jiang Luo, but found that Jiang Ze was frowning the whole time. She couldn't help but ask him with concern, "Brother, is something on your mind?"
Jiang Ze glanced at her and gently shook his head: "It's nothing."
However, despite his attempt to appear extremely calm, Li Ruo still noticed something was wrong.
She walked straight up to the man and stared directly at him: "Brother, if you still consider me your sister, tell me what happened."
Seeing Li Ruo's serious expression, Jiang Ze took a deep breath, somewhat helplessly saying, "I received a last-minute notice that there's an exhibition overseas that I need to attend, but if I leave, what will happen to Mom..."
So that's how it is...
Seeing Jiang Ze's worry, Li Ruo quickly volunteered, "Don't worry about Mom, I'll take care of her. You can go with peace of mind."
"Can……"
Hearing Li Ruo's words, Jiang Ze frowned a little embarrassedly.
After all, he knew that Li Ruo was very busy with work, and now he had to take time out of his schedule to run back and forth because of him, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, Li Ruo didn't care at all and said directly, "Alright, taking care of Mom is my duty. If you keep being polite to me, I'll get angry."
Seeing this, Jiang Ze pursed his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
After Jiang Ze left, Li Ruo specially asked the minister for a few days off to focus on taking care of Jiang Luo at the hospital.
This matter soon reached Li Daocheng's ears.
"That unfilial daughter would rather serve a stranger than come home to see her father. It's outrageous!"
After all, he had called her several times in the past few days, but she had ignored him.
Now he's being so attentive to a stranger; it's no wonder he's unhappy.
Hearing this, Sun Lan, who was passing by, quickly pretended to be concerned and stepped forward to inquire, "Master, what happened that made you so angry?"
Li Daocheng was already furious. When he saw Sun Lan coming over, he immediately yelled, "It's all because of that unfilial daughter! She has a perfectly good home but insists on going to the hospital to take care of that woman who isn't related to her by blood. It's infuriating!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Lan rolled her eyes, but she wasn't surprised.
In fact, it was Li Ruo who first learned that she had gone to the hospital to take care of Jiang Luo, and then sent someone to tell Li Daocheng.
Seeing that the other party was indeed angry as she had imagined, she smiled inwardly and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Master, please don't be angry. Isn't this matter easy to handle?"
“Since you want Ruoruo to come back, I’ll go to the hospital to see Jiang Luo later, talk to her and clear things up, and bring her back at the same time.”
"Alright!"
Seeing her concerned expression, Li Daocheng softened his expression and nodded.
With his approval, Sun Lan rushed to the hospital immediately.
As luck would have it, just as she arrived at the inpatient department and was about to ask the nurses at the nurses' station about Jiang Luo's ward, she saw Li Ruo walking out of a ward not far away with a doctor.
The doctor's expression was somewhat serious: "Her test results are in..."
Perhaps fearing that Jiang Luo inside might overhear something, the two walked all the way to the corner to talk.
Seeing this, Sun Lan had an idea and quickly ran into Jiang Luo's ward.
Just then, Jiang Luo was about to pour herself a glass of water when she saw Sun Lan. She frowned instinctively and asked, "Why are you here?"
She had a fairly good understanding of Sun Lan's personality; he never came to her place without a reason, so he must have some purpose in coming now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Luochu's gaze became wary.
Seeing her pale face, Sun Lan couldn't help but smile: "Oh dear, it's been so long, Sister Jiang, how come you look so haggard? Time really waits for no one."
Hearing Sun Lan's sarcasm, Jiang Luo's face instantly darkened, and he asked irritably, "What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Lan remembered the important matter. She curled her lips and said coldly, "I heard that Li Ruo has been taking care of you at the hospital all day recently. My master is a little angry and asked me to come and take her back. After all, her surname is Li, not Jiang."
Jiang Luochu couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hmph, now he remembers that Ruoruo's surname is Li. When he abandoned his wife and daughter for you, did he ever think that she was his own flesh and blood!"
At this point, Jiang Luo couldn't help but speak up for Li Ruo again: "From childhood to adulthood, you have never cared about Ruo Ruo at all. You have only been using her. Why pretend to be so hypocritical here now?"
