Fang Yue looked at the calendar, calculating that Gu Mingzhu was about to give birth soon. It was ti to talk to Xu Nianhua and let her stay at the house. In case Mingzhu started going into labor, with Xu Nianhua around, there wouldn’t be any mishaps.
Mingzhu was really sothing, driving off in such a hurry with such a big belly. Didn’t she know her condition was special now?
"Ring."
Fang Yue was lost in thought when the piercing ringtone startled her. She wondered if it might be Mingzhu not coming ho for dinner.
Upon receiving Jiang Jing’s call from the hospital, Fang Yue was taken aback. Hearing that Gu Mingzhu’s water had broken and she was going into labor, but there was no imdiate danger to her life, Fang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, saying she would co over right away. But in the next mont, Fang Yue added, "Xiaojing, stay with Mingzhu in the hospital. No matter what happens, you must ensure Mingzhu’s safety."
"Mom, the doctor said Mingzhu has panda blood. What kind of blood is that? You never ntioned it before." Jiang Jing inquired, unsure of what blood type panda blood was, but knowing that pandas were national treasures, this panda blood must be rare too.
"I forgot to ntion, you go and see Mingzhu. I’ll be there shortly."
Fang Yue hastily hung up, imdiately grabbing the phone book to search for Ji Ying’s number at the factory.
Fang Yue was anxious, and the phone book seed uncooperative. It felt like it had grown legs, flipping through it several tis and still not finding Ji Ying’s number, which was usually easy to locate.
Ji Ying, Ji Ying, I definitely wrote her number down in the phone book.
After flipping through it three tis, Fang Yue finally found Ji Ying’s number. It was afternoon, and Ji Ying had just arrived at the factory. When she received Fang Yue’s call asking Xu Nianhua to imdiately go to South City, she was taken aback.
"Ji Ying, Mingzhu has gone into premature labor and is now in the hospital. We don’t know what the situation is, but you must get Nianhua to South City. No matter what, Mingzhu is her elder sister."
"Only Nianhua can save Mingzhu."
Fang Yue rattled off a bunch of things, and when she saw Ji Ying not responding, she set aside her pride and pleaded, "Ji Ying, you’re a mother too. Please, you must have Nianhua co and save her sister. Otherwise, if anything happens to Mingzhu..."
Fang Yue left the rest unsaid.
Ji Ying was silent for a mont before saying, "Alright, we will get there as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Ji Ying reflected on Fang Yue ntioning that she too was a mother. This heartfelt maternal sentint made Ji Ying feel ironic.
Gu Mingzhu was indeed her daughter. Had Fang Yue ever considered that when Nianhua was just born, she was abandoned under the Big Locust Tree because Fang Yue despised having a daughter? Back then, when she and Xu Qinghe found Nianhua, she was crying so weakly, barely surviving, small and frail.
Ji Ying felt a weight in her heart, but she knew that if Gu Mingzhu really suffered an accident due to lack of blood, Nianhua would surely be hurt deeply.
Ji Ying did not delay. Coincidentally, Xu Nianji was nearby, making a delivery and had just returned. Ji Ying briefly explained and asked Xu Nianji to imdiately go back to Shuanghe Village and bring Xu Nianhua to South City together.
"Mom, I’ll go pick her up now. You go to the clinic and find Nian’an; he’s quick-witted and should co along." Xu Nianji said while starting the car, reminding Ji Ying.
Ji Ying imdiately went to the clinic to find Xu Nian’an. As soon as Xu Nian’an heard that Xu Nianhua needed to go to South City, he promptly inford Du Chang and returned to the factory with Ji Ying. On the way, Xu Nian’an specifically asked.
"It wasn’t clear over the phone. It seems like Gu Mingzhu is in difficult labor. Nian’an, don’t let anything slip later on to avoid upsetting Nianhua." Ji Ying reminded.
