Shen Jingyu briefly explained the situation and asked Zhu Man if she needed someone to take care of her. If she did, he would arrange for a female bodyguard to be by her side. Without a moment's hesitation, Zhu Man declined, saying, "I don't like being disturbed. The next treatment is tomorrow night."
From now on, she instructed that Su Xing should only drink water and not eat anything else. If necessary, he could come to find her, but no one should administer nutritional injections without her permission. After saying this, Zhu Man left the room. At the entrance, she glanced at a row of room cards on the table and casually picked one with a number she liked before walking away with grace.
Just as she stepped out, Shi Shao erupted behind her, dragging his hoarse voice into a vehement accusation against Shen Jingyu. "Shen Jingyu! Where did you find someone like her? So arrogant, ignorant, and self-important! Have you said everything you know? Will that ease your resentment?" Rong Xigu quietly interrupted him, pointing out that the foreigner had used inappropriate terms.
Shi Shao was most frustrated by the fact that it felt as if this woman had him completely under her control. He had to come to her for an antidote? Why should he? Wasn't this just an unwarranted disaster?
Qin Yi suggested that he should first cooperate with the research on Su Xing's condition. "You wait over there for now!" After Shen Jingyu finished his instructions, he returned to the bedroom.
Shi Shao stood there with his arms raised, pointing at Shen Jingyu's back and jabbing at the air in frustration. "You have no heart! Shen Jingyu! How many times have I protected you since we were kids? Can't you protect me just once?! Does the noble need my brother to protect him? That would be utterly ridiculous!" Shen Tian Er silently watched this farce unfold, relieved that everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
Su Xing's condition finally showed signs of improvement; there was hope for the future!
Mu Beiming returned from outside just in time to join in on the lively conversation. "Everyone should rest now. Just leave the couple here to look after each other."
"Can I sit here today? Are there any other rooms?" Shen Tian Er asked as everyone prepared to leave, expressing his desire to stay.
Gu Tongtong eyed her cousin warily. "You have a home; why stay here? Is your intention not pure?"
Gu Xiaobai stood up and said, "I'll take you home." Just then, a phone call interrupted them with news: orders had come down to escort a leader.
Rong Xigu received the same order and exchanged glances with Lu Xiangyi before they both braced themselves for what was to come.
Lu Xiangyi shrugged it off. "Just be careful; I'll stay here today. Sister Xing can help if there's anything needed."
Only Shen Tian Er and Gu Tongtong were left, and they really needed someone to give them a ride!
"Sister, didn't you just get your driver's license? We can drive ourselves!" Gu Tongtong said, poking at her sister's heart without a care.
Shen Tian Er glanced at her younger sister with a hint of gloom. "You want me to drive? Are you brave enough? I'm a novice! A road killer!"
Gu Tongtong brushed off her sister's concerns. "Then I'll drive! I've learned, and I'm just about to take my final test! Plus, my brother taught me everything. My skills are solid!"
"I need someone to give me a ride! I don't want to sit in your car! Got it?" Shen Tian Er shot her sister a rare threatening look.
On the other side, everyone who needed to leave had already departed, and those looking for rooms had found theirs. The only one left was Mu Beiming, coordinating everything from the ground.
Having been in many meetings, Mu Beiming could see right through Shen Tian Er's little schemes. Surprisingly, he didn't hesitate to join in.
The dinner upstairs was winding down, and each family had arranged for their vehicles to leave. Tonight, the Shen Family would undoubtedly be lively. "If you want, I can give you a ride," Mu Beiming said seriously, which completely melted a certain girl's heart.
Shen Tian Er didn't hide the heart-shaped bubbles radiating around her. She pretended to be polite with Mu Beiming: "Oh, that’s so embarrassing. Thank you, Mu Ge."
She tried her best to act more casual, but her efforts came off like a child trying on oversized shoes—completely awkward!
Mu Beiming saw through it all but strongly suppressed his own feelings. He maintained his serious demeanor as he drove them home.
Shen Zhengxin had never stayed up this late before, but tonight he chatted with his son for the entire night.
In the villa below Shen Guan, which had not been opened for a long time, Shen Huai looked around at the memories filled with his family and realized that everything had changed.
This garden used to be filled with laughter and joy; now it felt desolate and cold.
Feeling nostalgic, Shen Huai thought: I just hope that Jing Yu doesn’t have to go through what I did.
Shen Zhengxin gazed into the dark night with his aged and murky eyes. "In life, one should achieve something. As your child, he naturally has his own mission and value."
Shen Huai shook his head lightly. "If they have children, I don’t want him to follow my old path. And I don’t want to swallow that bitterness alone like you did!"
After holding back all night, Shen Zhengxin finally shed tears in front of his son.
As the night deepened and the joyful reunion came to an end, the Su Family returned to tranquility.
That evening, He Xiaoqing didn’t let anyone follow her; she didn’t linger in front of the elders of the Su Family, nor did she disturb her son and daughter-in-law. As for her daughter’s family, she felt she couldn’t be of much help.
So after putting her mother-in-law to sleep, He Xiaoqing drove with Su Bokan to a small courtyard in the old city district.
This was a place she had bought by herself before they got married when her parents were still alive; the courtyard was well-maintained and very tidy.
Time has passed, and having a place like this is no less than those exclusive villas in He Xiaoqing's mind.
After a long separation, they reunited—one looking glamorous and the other bearing the scars of life, feeling unworthy.
Once everything settled into an uneasy silence, the two of them sat in the car in front of the courtyard. He Xiaoqing was about to open the door when Su Bokan suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"He Xiaoqing, I find it hard to speak!" Su Bokan admitted, his tone heavy with unspoken thoughts. He truly didn’t want to burden her with his current state.
"What? Are you saying I’m not worthy of you? Are you hoping for a second chance for yourself or for me?"
"Do you have someone suitable in mind? Are you planning to bring someone along to share your glory and leave us behind? Or have you already decided that from the moment you left, you would abandon our family of three? Even if you came back, would it be as if we never met?"
But how coincidental is it that today we find ourselves sitting together again? The higher-ups have seen us! They praised me as an outstanding woman for waiting for you all this time!
Do you want me to go back on my word in front of them? Or make me unable to hold my head high in front of our child?
They say a wife should not be cast aside! Are you rejecting me?
Su Bokan rubbed his brow awkwardly. "Wife, all this... as a reporter, I really haven’t wronged you, have I? Can we just retire from this? Can’t we say a little less?"
