Chapter 9

“I’m almost well. I’ll take my medicine before I go out. I have to go see my mother today. I didn’t see her yesterday because I was sick. I was afraid she would worry.”

Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement and said, “We should go and have a look. Go have breakfast first. I’ll go to the kitchen and pack some supplements for you. You can take them over. Although there are people taking care of them there, it won’t hurt to take more supplements. Besides, Madam Jiang just had surgery, so she needs to take good care of herself after the surgery.”

Jiang Jingzhu nodded, “Then I’ll go have breakfast first, don’t worry, you can take your time.”

“Don’t worry, it will be ready in a moment. Go have breakfast first.”

Watching Aunt Zhang leave in a hurry, Jiang Jingzhu walked to the dining table helplessly to eat her breakfast.

After everything was packed, Jiang Jingzhu took the incubator prepared by Zhang Ma, got into the driver’s car and went to the hospital.

In fact, she wanted to drive herself, but the original owner had never learned to drive, and she had no driver’s license, so she could not drive. She had to ask the driver at home to take her.

She will take the driving test after some time.

After arriving at the hospital, Jiang Jingzhu asked the driver Xiao Wang to go first and she would contact him when she was ready to pick him up.

Xiao Wang responded respectfully.

This is the driver hired by Huo Xiao for the villa. Usually he and the villa’s hostess are used by him.

But Huo Xiao has always used the driver he used when he was in the old house, so Xiao Wang has been idle.

He originally thought that Mr. Huo would be able to use him after he got married, but he didn’t expect that his new wife would rather take the bus every day than have him pick her up. Although it was good to just get paid without working, he didn’t feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, Zhang’s mother arranged for him to pick up his wife today. Although his wife didn’t ask him to wait, she said she would contact him if needed. Xiao Wang felt that he had a place to use his skills again, and he felt relieved to receive the salary.

Jiang Jingzhu carried the incubator and walked towards the VIP ward where Jiang Xue was according to her memory in her dream.

When she was outside the ward and was about to raise her hand to turn the handle, a man’s voice came from the ward.

“Xiaoxue, it’s not that I don’t want to take care of you, it’s just that I was too busy during that time and couldn’t spare the time. Look, I’m free now and I came to see you right away.”

“Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Chu, for remembering us mother and daughter despite your busy schedule. We are so lucky.”

Chu Zhennan ignored Jiang Xue’s sarcasm and continued, “Whether you believe it or not, I really want to help you. I have already contacted experts in this field. You can have the surgery once a suitable kidney source is found. As for the surgery fee, don’t worry about it. I will pay for it.”

Before Jiang Xue could say anything else, the door of the ward was pushed open with a bang. “We can’t afford Mr. Chu’s kindness. You should keep your money for yourself. We don’t need your charity.”

Seeing Jiang Jingzhu coming in to release her, Chu Zhennan frowned. He ignored her harsh words and continued to persuade her, “Jingzhu, I know you hate your father, but this matter concerns your mother’s life. Don’t act on impulse.”

“Heh,” Jiang Jingzhu sneered and raised an eyebrow, “Are you acting on impulse? Why didn’t you show such kindness when I asked you to save my mom? Now that we don’t need you anymore, you come here to show off your presence.”

Without giving Chu Zhennan a chance to continue speaking, Jiang Jingzhu continued in a cold voice, “Mr. Chu, didn’t you come here to ask about my mother’s current situation?”

Chu Zhennan felt embarrassed when asked. He had heard from Li Lingqin about Jiang Xue’s illness, but he didn’t pay much attention to it before. He only remembered to take a look when he had some free time.

He only asked his secretary to check Jiang Xue’s hospital and ward number and did not ask anything else.

Looking at Chu Zhennan’s expression, Jiang Jingzhu put down the incubator and sat down on the chair next to the ward.

She calmly looked at the man in front of her who could be called the “father” of her body, “Boss Chu, aren’t you surprised that given our financial situation, mother and daughter, we are staying in such a good VIP ward?”

Although Chu Zhennan was a little confused when he first arrived, he didn’t take it to heart.

“Of course we have met a noble person who helped us. You, Chu Zhennan, are not the only one who is rich and capable. We can live well without you. So, Mr. Chu, please don’t show up in front of us again. I don’t think you want to be known to the public that you abandoned the poor woman who supported you to study for the sake of wealth. Of course, if you don’t mind, I’d be happy to promote you.”

Hearing Jiang Jingzhu’s naked threat, Chu Zhennan’s face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t come again.”

Jiang Jingzhu raised her index finger and shook it, “No, not only you, but also your wife and daughter. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting the Chen family know that Chu Wansha has a mother who is a third party for Ai Zhisan. I don’t know if the marriage with the Chen family can be successful by then.”

Chu Zhennan’s face turned pale, “Don’t worry, I will control them.”

Without paying attention to Chu Zhennan’s ugly expression, Jiang Jingzhu had already started to chase him away. “Since there is nothing else to say, Mr. Chu, can you leave now?”

Chu Zhennan left the ward with a dark face. It can be said that he had never felt so aggrieved since he took over the Chu Corporation, but he had to endure it. First, he was indeed guilty of the mother and daughter, and it was inevitable that they hated him.

Another most important point is that wealthy families like them care a lot about their reputation, especially the Chen family, which is a family of scholars and cares even more about their reputation.

So even for the sake of the marriage with the Chen family, he couldn’t let Jiang Jingzhu spread their affairs everywhere. Moreover, if his reputation was affected, then the Chu family’s stock would plummet. That was the last thing he wanted to see, so he had to swallow his anger and leave.

After Chu Zhennan left, Jiang Jingzhu finally had time to look at her biological mother in this body.

Jiang Xue hadn’t said a word since Jiang Jingzhu came in. Now seeing her daughter staring at her, she met her gaze.

Looking at Jiang Xue who was looking at her tenderly, Jiang Jingzhu’s eyes were slightly moist. She called out “Mom” and threw herself into her arms.

Although she didn’t know why her daughter was crying, it didn’t stop her from gently patting her back to comfort her.

Jiang Jingzhu was just crying out of emotion. She stopped after a while. She felt a little embarrassed for still crying at such an age.

Seeing Jiang Xue looking at her with concern, Jiang Jingzhu smiled and said, “Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Although Jiang Xue looked nothing like her mother in her previous life, they both loved their children tenderly. Before coming here, she was afraid that she didn’t know how to get along with Jiang Xue, but now she thought she could treat her like her mother in her previous life and be filial to her.

Knowing that her daughter didn’t want to say it, Jiang Xue didn’t continue to ask. Jiang Xue knew her daughter’s personality, and if she didn’t say it on her own initiative, then she wouldn’t ask.

Just like she suddenly told herself that she was going to get married, she just asked her if she would regret it, and her daughter answered her “no”.
