Jiang Nuan looked at him. Today, he was dressed casually in a white hoodie and blue jeans, looking like a young boy, surprisingly attractive.
“How is the old lady?” she asked.
Mu Jiuchen sat down beside her and said, “She’s awake.”
“Really? Then we’ll go see her right after breakfast.” Jiang Nuan knew the old lady’s condition was very serious. Fortunately, she had her medical kit with her; otherwise, last night’s surgery would have been impossible.
Mu Jiuchen nodded and said, “I didn’t let Mingrun tell his mother about this. I suspect Grandma didn’t fall on her own.”
Jiang Nuan gazed at him intently and said, “The old lady suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to a forceful impact. If she had fallen on her own, judging by her frail weight, the injury wouldn’t have been this severe. During the surgery, I also examined the wound; it was likely caused by someone.”
“Ah… then who could it be? This person is too wicked, not even sparing the elderly old lady. Is he even human?” Li Qingshuo remembered the kind and amiable old lady.
She had also been very good to him. Every time he and Xiao Jiu visited her, she would always hold his hand and thank him for always being by Xiao Jiu’s side and becoming Xiao Jiu’s friend. She would also instruct the kitchen to make them many delicious dishes.
Mu Jiuchen retorted, “If he were human, my grandmother wouldn’t have gone through this.”
“Ninth Master, breakfast is ready,” the new butler said from a short distance away.
Mu Jiuchen took Jiang Nuan’s hand. “Come, Nuannuan, let’s have breakfast first. Your complexion is still not good. After returning from the hospital, you need to rest well.”
Jiang Nuan was a little worried that the children would disturb the old master. “You go pick up the children later!”
Mu Jiuchen smiled at her and said in a low voice, “No need. Grandfather said he’ll let me pick them up tomorrow. Tonight, the three siblings are going live, so they probably won’t want to come back here.”
Jiang Nuan: “…” She felt a sense of her children being snatched away.
Jiang Nuan’s thoughts were always simple. For example, at this moment, her slight pout was clearly seen by Mu Jiuchen.
Mu Jiuchen whispered in her ear, “Silly girl, don’t overthink it. The children are both of ours. I won’t take them away unilaterally, and you’re not allowed to run away with them.”
His voice was exceptionally gentle, deep, magnetic, and captivating.
Jiang Nuan, her thoughts exposed, stared at him with wide eyes in surprise.
Li Qingshuo watched the two from behind, feeling their posture was particularly intimate.
“Hey, hey, hey, you two, take it easy. I’m still here. Don’t shove dog food down my throat first thing in the morning.” Li Qingshuo finished speaking and took the lead to sit down at the dining table.
Jiang Nuan’s face instantly turned red.
Mu Jiuchen glared at him, calling him an oblivious fellow. No wonder he was disliked by women and had no one in love with him. His mouth was truly deserving of it.
The breakfast was specially prepared by Mu Jiuchen, and it was very rich.
Jiang Nuan ate until she was full. After breakfast, Jiang Nuan explained the dietary precautions to Li Qingshuo, and then went to the hospital with Mu Jiuchen.
He Mingrun had guarded outside the operating room all night. Meng Yuan and Shen Bing, upon learning this, had cooked porridge and some side dishes early in the morning for Meng Yuan to bring to He Mingrun.
Coincidentally, He Wenxun, Wu Yuan, and Yang Minjing also rushed to the hospital and met Meng Yuan at the entrance of the intensive care unit.
Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan had just arrived as well.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Wu Yuan looked at Meng Yuan, seeing the thermos she was holding.
She was furious and her eyes seemed to want to kill Meng Yuan. “Bitch, how dare you show up here.”
She walked over and raised her hand, about to hit Meng Yuan.
Meng Yuan was startled and was about to dodge.
Jiang Nuan quickly moved her body, intercepting Wu Yuan’s arm. Their eyes met, filled with anger.
Wu Yuan glared at Jiang Nuan, “Let go of me!”
Jiang Nuan’s gaze swept coldly across her enraged face and she said, word by word, “I will never let my friend be bullied in front of me. Try touching her and see what happens?” If even dating is this stifling, can it be happy?
He Mingrun had just come out of the restroom after washing up. Seeing the scene, he knew what had happened without asking.
He walked over quickly, pulled Meng Yuan into his arms, glared at Wu Yuan for a moment, then looked down at his beloved in his embrace. “Yuan Yuan, are you okay?”
Meng Yuan shook her head slightly and said, “Nuannuan appeared in time, she didn’t get hit.”
He Mingrun’s cold eyes swept over her. “Don’t ruin the last bit of respect I have for you.”
“He Mingrun, you’re crazy! I’m telling you, as long as I’m alive, I will never let this woman enter the He family door.”
He Mingrun was completely unfazed by her threat. “No need. I won’t be entering the He family door anymore.”
Wu Yuan was stunned, and He Wenxun was also stunned.
Wu Yuan said angrily, “What do you mean by that?”
He Mingrun said, “Exactly what you understand it to mean.”
“Yuan Yuan, let’s go first.” He Mingrun didn’t want to argue at the hospital. After Grandma was discharged, he would explain everything.
And give his mother justice.
Jiang Nuan also let go of Wu Yuan.
“He Mingrun, I think you’re crazy.” Wu Yuan watched He Mingrun’s defiance with no way to stop him.
“Meng Yuan, you jinx! Ever since you appeared, my family has had no peace.” Wu Yuan finally blamed Meng Yuan for all the misfortunes.
“He Wenxun, say something!” Wu Yuan looked at her silent husband and signaled him vigorously to say something to He Mingrun.
He Wenxun looked at her coldly and asked, “Why are you stopping them from being together? As long as Mingrun likes her, why are you interfering in his relationship?”
“Because we are the He family, and Mingrun can only marry a woman of the same social standing.”
He Wenxun said, “Then let’s get a divorce.”
He Wenxun’s words drew everyone’s attention to him.
It took Wu Yuan a while to recover, and she asked in disbelief, “He Wenxun, what did you say?”
He Wenxun said, “Since you’re going to do this, and your Wu family has also become a fifth-rate family in recent years, our two families are not well-matched. Then what’s the point of staying together?”
“Also, last night, your eldest brother called me and asked me to lend him 50 million yuan to help his son pay off his debts. Your good nephew gambled in a casino, was cheated, and lost 50 million. With your Wu family’s strength, you can’t possibly solve this.”
“What’s wrong with Miss Meng? Her parents are both decent working people. They worked hard to raise a well-educated daughter to be your daughter-in-law. If you’re not satisfied, fine, but in front of that young lady, you constantly use foul language. You don’t have any of the demeanor of a wealthy lady.”
Wu Yuan was stunned, incredibly shocked. He Wenxun was actually talking to her like this?
She found it unbelievable. The gentle and considerate He Wenxun had always indulged her little cleverness. Even when she clashed with her mother-in-law, he would always comfort her.
At this moment, He Mingrun said, “Grandma has woken up. Let’s go see Grandma first.”
Wu Yuan’s pupils trembled, and she looked at the intensive care unit in disbelief.
