“Mom, I’m not a child anymore, do I really need to report to you who I befriend?”

“How can that be the same?”

Xue Mingqin reproached, “You’re my only daughter, such an important matter, how could you keep it from mom?”

Hearing this tone, Jiang Chen instantly understood that the auntie had definitely misunderstood something, and he subconsciously glanced at Li Shuru, only to see her face full of embarrassment and at a complete loss as to what to do.

“Mom…”

Li Shuru probably wanted to explain something, but Xue Mingqin did not give her the chance to explain.

“Jiang Chen, are you a senior this year?”

She looked towards Jiang Chen.

“Yes, Auntie.”

Jiang Chen was not someone to take advantage of others in their time of vulnerability, although the misunderstanding of Li Shuru’s mother about their relationship was harmless to him, he still did not want to take advantage under these circumstances.

He might not consider himself a perfect gentleman, but there were still things a man ought to do and ought not to do.

It’s just that at this moment, given his position, it really wasn’t easy for him to speak up, he could only wait for mother and daughter to communicate in private later.

“What do your parents do?”

Xue Mingqin immediately asked.

It seems that as a parent, this question is of particular concern.

“Mom!”

Li Shuru couldn’t hold back anymore and hastily interrupted, “Why are you asking this?”

“What’s wrong with asking this question?”

Xue Mingqin frowned.

As the parent of a daughter, isn’t it completely normal and justified to understand the family background of the man?

“Auntie, my parents are no longer alive.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Mingqin was taken aback and then a hint of apology appeared on her face, “I’m sorry, Jiang Chen…”

“It’s okay.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Under these circumstances, Xue Mingqin did not pursue the topic further and quietly ate her meal.

After staying in the hospital room for a while, Jiang Chen found an appropriate time to take his leave.

“Rui Rui, after sending Jiang Chen off, remember to bring back a few towels.”

“Got it.”

Li Shuru accompanied Jiang Chen as they left the hospital room together.

“Sorry.”

“No need, I actually prefer it this way.”

Jiang Chen said with a laugh.

Indeed, the hospital is not a pleasant place.

In the corridors, one could see emaciated patients and their somber and despairing family members everywhere; the air is not only filled with the smell of disinfectant but also seems to have a coagulant added, making it hard to breathe.

“I will explain to my mom.”

Li Shuru said softly.

“You don’t have to explain.

It doesn’t bother me anyway.”

Jiang Chen teased.

The two entered the elevator. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“About my dad being sick, I hope you can keep it a secret for now.”

Jiang Chen could entirely understand Li Shuru’s feelings; not everyone likes to “show off” the hardships in their life.

“Don’t worry, I may not have many virtues, but my lips are definitely sealed.”

“Thank you.”

“Aren’t we friends?

No need to be so formal.”

Li Shuru turned her head to glance at him.

She had to admit that her mood had eased a lot since this young man arrived.

“Ding…”

The two stepped out of the elevator.

“If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know.”

Descending the stairs of the inpatient department, Jiang Chen whispered softly.

“I know, you go back first.”

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

Li Shuru nodded.

Jiang Chen headed towards the Palmera, got into the car, and left.

This sports sedan, originally purchased with his money, seemed to have come back into his hands in another way.

After watching the Palmera drive out of the hospital, Li Shuru went to the convenience store to buy two towels and some daily necessities.

“Rui Rui, are Jiang’s parents really gone?”

Back in the ward, Xue Mingqin immediately grabbed her and asked.

“Mom, who would joke about something like that.”

“Then what do you think?

With his parents gone, who will take care of your children when you have them in the future?”

Xue Mingqin asked urgently, her expression extremely serious.

Indeed, to the older generation, this was a very serious issue.

“Mom, what are you talking about!”

The astonished Li Shuru was just relieved that Jiang Chen had already left; otherwise, she feared she would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

He had merely come out of politeness to visit, and yet the conversation had already turned to the topic of children.

“Jiang and I are just friends, Mom, please don’t get carried away!”

“Go on, keep making things up.”

Xue Mingqin’s gaze was sharp, as if she could see into people’s hearts.

“You’re my daughter, do you think I don’t know what’s in your heart?

‘Just friends,’ yet you let him come up here?

Isn’t he the first boy you’ve ever brought home?”

Li Shuru was at a loss for words.

“But we really…”

“Enough.”

Xue Mingqin interrupted her, glancing at her husband on the hospital bed.

“Actually, your dad has been mentioning that it’s time for you to find someone too.

He was just worried that you’re too selective and wouldn’t settle for an average guy.

If he knew you had a boyfriend, he’d probably be very happy.”

Li Shuru, wanting to explain, felt choked up, “Mom…”

“It’s okay,” Xue Mingqin said with a smile.

“Since he’s your choice, of course I support you.

Your dad always said a man doesn’t need to be too rich, he just needs to be dependable, praising himself in the process.

Although their parents are no more, I can tell, that boy Jiang, he’s decent.

My judgment of people is always accurate.

Given he’s from East Sea University, his capabilities must not be too far off, so there’s no need to worry too much about the future.

And you, don’t be too proud.

A relationship is about mutual accommodation and compromise.

If it’s always one-sided, the relationship is bound to have troubles eventually.

These words, in fact, have always been your father’s nagging at home.

He always thought you were too fussy, but was too embarrassed to say it to you.

Now, there’s no way for him to say it, so it’s left to me.”

Li Shuru’s throat turned sour and her eyes reddened.

Xue Mingqin stroked her daughter’s hair, now as tall as herself.

“My Rui Rui has really grown up.”

Li Shuru, who had been pretending to be strong over the past few days, finally couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

“Why cry?”

Xue Mingqin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a laugh, “Why don’t you learn from Jiang, to be more positive and optimistic?

That is the most valuable quality of a man.”

Li Shuru leaped into her mother’s embrace.

Xue Mingqin stroked her glossy black hair.

“All right, stop crying.

You’ll go back to school tomorrow.

In any case, we can’t let your studies be delayed.

I’ll take care of your dad.”

“Mom, dad will be okay, right?”

Li Shuru’s voice was choked, hardly resembling the aloof and proud belle of the arts college, but rather a frightened and helpless young girl.

Perhaps it’s only in front of one’s parents that a person can truly reveal their most genuine self.

“Your dad said that he still wants to see you get married and have a family, to hold his grandchildren.

With so many wishes unfulfilled, how could your dad bear to leave?”

Li Shuru, buried in her mother’s embrace, was overcome with emotion, tears pouring down like rain.

At this moment,

she truly empathized with Jiang Chen, realizing just how strong he had been to have come this far, carrying the burden of disdain and condemnation.
