As he spoke, he looked at Fu Zhiqing with a smile: "You two have been together for quite some time now, it's time to make some progress and sit down to talk about these things."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiqing instinctively lowered her head shyly, her heart pounding like a deer.
Wen Huaiyan frowned, clearly impatient: "I have never agreed to any so-called marriage. Don't bring this up again!"
Fu Zhiqing's face immediately darkened, and she subconsciously looked at Old Master Wen.
As expected, Old Master Wen's expression darkened: "Don't tell me you don't want to..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Wen Huaiyan interrupted him: "Grandpa, that pharmaceutical deal with Country H might still be a viable collaboration."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen indeed became interested: "What happened? Didn't you say that the cooperation with Darius had failed?"
Wen Huaiyan gave a faint smile and said in a low voice, "My business deal with him did fail. However, in H country, I unexpectedly met the leader of the mafia."
"The Mafia boss?"
After thinking about the relationship carefully, Old Master Wen suddenly realized: "Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that? I've heard that the Mafia also holds a share of the pharmaceutical market. If we could cooperate with them, it wouldn't be any worse than cooperating with Darius."
Wen Huaiyan nodded slightly: "Yes, I already have a plan in mind for this matter."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen's attitude towards him changed completely; instead, his gaze softened considerably: "So, what are your plans?"
Seeing that the old man's attention had clearly been drawn away and he had completely forgotten about the marriage, Fu Zhiqing and Wen Zhi couldn't help but frown anxiously.
But since the old man was in high spirits, they didn't dare to interrupt him rashly. They could only sigh helplessly and wait quietly to the side.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital.
As soon as Li Ruo led Lyon into the ward, she couldn't wait to call out, "Mom!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo looked sharply toward the door, and when she saw who it was, a look of joy appeared on her face: "Ruo Ruo, you're back!"
But when she saw the unfamiliar young man beside Li Ruo, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "Who is he?"
Li Ruo glanced at Lyon and quickly explained, "His name is Lyon. He's of mixed race, half Chinese. He helped me a lot when I was on a business trip abroad. He wanted to come here to find his relatives, so I brought him back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leon hurriedly greeted Jiang Luochu, "Hello, Auntie."
Seeing his politeness, Jiang Luochu smiled and replied, "Hello to you too, welcome to visit."
As she spoke, she winked at Li Ruo, and when the other leaned closer, she whispered, "Does this child even know who his biological parents are? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, where are we supposed to find them?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo smiled helplessly: "Mom, you don't need to worry about that. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health."
As she spoke, she peeled an orange for Jiang Luochu and asked in a low voice with concern, "Mom, how have you been feeling while I was away?"
Seeing that Li Ruo had brought up the topic again, Jiang Luo pouted and scolded in a low voice, "Oh dear, you worry about me all day long. You should worry about yourself instead. Look at you, you've gotten even thinner since you went abroad. Did you not like the food there?"
At this point, she couldn't help but touch Li Ruo's little face with heartache.
It wasn't just that I couldn't get used to the food; I almost lost my life!
Li Ru muttered a complaint under her breath, but not wanting Jiang Luo to worry, she said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll take good care of myself, so don't worry."
Even though she said that, Jiang Luo couldn't help but nag a few more times: "Then you must remember to eat on time every day, sleep on time, and drink plenty of water, okay?"
Having not heard her concern for a long time, Li Ruo's heart stirred, and a surge of warmth welled up in her eyes: "I know."
As she spoke, she hugged Jiang Luochu tightly and buried her head in her arms.
Indeed, a child with a mother is a treasure.
Seeing the little girl's coquettish appearance, Jiang Luochu couldn't help but purse his lips and complain, "Look at you, how old are you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Li Ruocai didn't care about any of that; the more Jiang Luochu said that, the tighter she hugged him.
Seeing this, Jiang Luo could only shake his head helplessly, letting her hug him tightly, his eyes filled with affection.
Although her condition has improved a lot, she has not fully recovered. In addition, the medication caused her to feel sleepy after talking for a short while.
Seeing this, Li Ruo quickly and considerately covered her with a blanket, talking to her and coaxing her to sleep.
Just then, the ward door was slowly pushed open, and a man walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Li Ruo, his eyes lit up instantly: "Ruo Ruo, you're back."
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Ruo was delighted, but seeing that Jiang Luo was already fast asleep, she quickly turned around and made a gesture to him.
Understanding her meaning, Jiang Ze nodded, gesturing for her to come out and speak.
As soon as they left the ward, before Jiang Ze could even exchange pleasantries, Li Ruo eagerly asked, "Brother, have they caught the person who drugged us last time?"
