"Xiao Jiu, thank you!" He Wenxun looked haggard.
Ever since his mother fell, he had been worried.
In his confusion, Xiao Jiu sent people to pick up his mother, saying that arrangements had been made for doctors, which finally settled his heart a little.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at him and asked, "Why did my maternal grandmother fall for no reason? You know her personality, she's the type who never wants to trouble you. She's careful with every step she takes. The swimming pool area doesn't have many steps. She could only have fallen so severely if she was pushed."
He Wenxun froze and looked at him.
Wu Yuan slowly lowered her head.
"Xiao Jiu, I asked the maids. Your grandmother went out for a walk alone today without anyone accompanying her."
"That's why the incident happened. If someone had been with her, the other party wouldn't have dared to act," Mu Jiu Chen glanced at Wu Yuan. She kept her head down, a look of panic on her face, clearly guilty.
He Wenxun said in surprise, "Xiao Jiu, I'll check the surveillance when I get back."
Mu Jiu Chen sneered, "Do you think it's still timely? Moreover, there's no surveillance in the garden. The other party deliberately targeted this point, which is why they dared to make a move."
He Wenxun's expression worsened.
The three of them stopped talking. Wu Yuan was completely afraid to speak. Having lived this long, she knew that the more one spoke, the more mistakes one made.
But why hadn't He Ming Run returned yet?
If he didn't return, the He family would be divided by collateral branches. She was the mistress of the He family and absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Two hours later, He Ming Run arrived, looking travel-worn. To catch up for his grandmother's surgery, he had chartered a plane back.
"Xiao Jiu, how is Grandma?" He Ming Run asked, panting.
He didn't even look at his own parents.
Mu Jiu Chen said with a solemn face, "She's in surgery, not out yet."
"Is the chief surgeon Miss Jiang?"
Mu Jiu Chen nodded.
He Ming Run then relaxed.
"Hoo..." He sank onto a long bench nearby, exhausted.
At this moment, Wu Yuan walked over and said sarcastically, "He Ming Run, you actually know to come back. If it weren't for your grandmother's accident, I don't think you'd ever want to come back again in your life, would you?"
He Ming Run looked at her coldly, "You're right. But I will definitely find out why my grandmother had an accident."
Wu Yuan frowned slightly. Why was he saying this without understanding anything?
"Hmph! For a woman, you've caused your grandmother to be in this state. You're really something." Wu Yuan was skilled at shifting her own faults onto others.
He Ming Run indeed felt guilty. Wu Yuan was also good at seizing his heart because He Ming Run valued family ties greatly.
Grandma was anxious about company matters. At her age, she still had to worry about these things, which was indeed his filial impiety.
Mu Jiu Chen couldn't listen anymore and looked at Wu Yuan without any regard, "What does Ming Run have to do with this? Dumping such a huge moral burden on him, have you ever considered how difficult it would be for him?"
Wu Yuan said, "Has he ever considered how difficult it would be for me, his mother?"
"How did he make you upset? He just wants to be with the woman he loves. As a mother, you must make trouble for him for that little bit of money. The money you have now is enough to line ten coffins, yet you're still not satisfied?" Mu Jiu Chen's words were sharp, leaving no room for others.
"Mu Jiu Chen, you..." Wu Yuan was almost infuriated. Mu Jiu Chen had always spoken disrespectfully to her.
"He Wenxun, quickly take a look. This is your good nephew."
"Alright, stop arguing," He Wenxun said, annoyed.
Mu Jiu Chen was someone who clearly distinguished between love and hate. He was equally indifferent to his uncle.
Towards the He family, he only doted on the Ming Run brothers and his maternal grandmother.
Others meant nothing to him.
"Hmph!" Wu Yuan was also furious.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
At this moment, the elevator door opened. Yang Min Jing, who had rushed back, also came to see the old lady.
Upon seeing Yang Min Jing, Wu Yuan beamed.
"Jing Jing, you've worked hard. You were still on a business trip, and as soon as you heard about the old lady's accident, you rushed back to see her. You must have been tired on the journey?"
Wu Yuan held Yang Min Jing's hand, showing great affection.
"Ming Run, Jing Jing is here. Aren't you going to get up and greet her?" Wu Yuan looked at He Ming Run, who hadn't even glanced their way, with a displeased expression.
He Ming Run replied, "We're not familiar."
Yang Min Jing's smile froze. She had gone to such lengths, yet he wasn't moved at all?
At this moment, why wasn't that woman Meng Yuan by his side?
The atmosphere became stiff again, and everyone waited in silence.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the old lady was finally pushed out of the operating room, covered in tubes.
Her eyes were tightly closed, without a hint of breath.
Wu Yuan was very nervous. This old woman would probably never wake up in her life.
She would never hinder her from doing anything again.
She didn't believe Jiang Nuan's medical skills were so good that she could bring someone back from the dead.
Jiang Nuan walked out, looking exhausted. As soon as she pulled down her mask, Mu Jiu Chen supported her unsteady body. She was already lacking strength.
"Nuan Nuan, are you alright?"
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly, "I'm fine. All the blood clots in the old lady's brain have been removed. She wasn't suitable for intracranial surgery, but the situation was urgent this time, so it had to be done."
"Push her into the intensive care unit. If she gets through tonight, she'll be fine."
Jiang Nuan couldn't guarantee whether the old lady would wake up; she had done her best.
Wu Yuan said, "Jiang Nuan, is my mother really alright?" She had a bad premonition.
Jiang Nuan looked at Wu Yuan and said, "She'll be fine after tonight. You all should go back and rest. You don't need to stay here tonight; there are dedicated nurses."
He Ming Run said, "Miss Jiang, I want to wait outside for Grandma."
Jiang Nuan replied, "...You can. If you all suspect the old lady didn't fall by herself, it's good to wait outside to prevent others from tampering."
Wu Yuan responded with a "..." and a hmph! No one saw anything, so it was all the same no matter how much they talked about it.
She just didn't believe this old lady could wake up.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at He Ming Run, "I'll leave this to you. Nuan Nuan said she'll wake up if she can, so keep your eyes open and guard her, don't let anyone take advantage."
He Ming Run nodded.
"Nuan Nuan, let's go home."
"Mm...!" Jiang Nuan followed Mu Jiu Chen out. After taking off her sterile gown, she fainted as soon as she got in the car.
Mu Jiu Chen affectionately held her in his arms and instructed the driver to go home.
Then, he would pick up the children on the way.
On the other side, Jiang Yu Kuo and his two brothers, with their mother not at home, indulged themselves. After coming out of the Jing Wu Martial Arts Hall, the three brothers went to the food street to eat.
Mu Jiu Chen located the children and directly told the driver to drive over.
At this moment, the three brothers were eating. Jiang Yu Kuo was gnawing on fried chicken, holding a bottle of Happy Water, while Jiang Si Yun held a skewer of lamb. The siblings were eating happily when a luxury car stopped in front of them.
