Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Who Will She Marry?
Finally, it was Zhou Zhao who stepped forward and greeted the doctor.
Then he signaled to the nurse, “Do you know any caregivers? Help us find one, preferably soone with experience caring for stroke patients.”
The nurse nodded, “Alright, I’ll help you make so arrangents.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yin looked at Zhou Zhao gratefully.
“Thank you.”
“Let’s head to the ward first.” He leaned closer to Chu Yin and whispered, “I’ve already inford the young master about Chu Wu’s situation, he’ll take care of it.”
“Okay.”
Chu Yin nodded.
Mrs. Chu watched the two of them, her gaze flickering as if contemplating sothing.
After entering the ward, the caregiver arrived as well.
After discussing so precautions, the caregiver efficiently began their work.
Mrs. Chu sat forlornly to the side; after a while, Chu Yin poured her a cup of water.
“Since soone is here, I’ll leave first.”
“Ah Yin, don’t go, stay here with , okay?” Mrs. Chu called out to Chu Yin.
“I’m tired.”
Chu Yin gestured to the hospital gown beneath her coat.
Mrs. Chu refused to let go, clutching her tightly, “Just for ten minutes.”
Chu Yin sighed and took a seat.
Just then, Zhou Zhao entered carrying the household items he bought from the supermarket.
Mrs. Chu glanced at Zhou Zhao and asked quietly, “Isn’t he the one who helped out the door that day?”
“What?”
Chu Yin didn’t imdiately catch what she ant.
Mrs. Chu continued, “He looks decent, should be above the level of a typical assistant, right?”
Chu Yin understood now but didn’t respond.
Zhou Zhao’s level was far beyond a typical assistant.
Despite his cheerful deanor, working beside Sang Li, he’s as capable as ten people.
A talented all-rounder.
Seeing Chu Yin not respond, Mrs. Chu couldn’t resist continuing.
“Ah Yin, can you still be with Mo Xuyao? I heard from Mrs. Mo that she still seems satisfied with you. If you two could marry…”
“No way.” Chu Yin replied firmly.
“Why? Didn’t you bring him ho for us? That ans you like him!” Mrs. Chu retorted.
Chu Yin found it amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Firstly, I’m not a recycling station; I won’t accept what others don’t want. Secondly, have you forgotten it was you who paired Chu Wu with Mo Xuyao? Didn’t you say they’ve been together for years? Now Mrs. Mo can’t stand Chu Wu?”
“You… that’s not what I ant. I’m just saying that the celebrity dream might not co true, and wasting your youth might make it hard to marry into a good family later on.” Mrs. Chu advised earnestly.
“Weren’t you the one who sold to the company for a bit of money back then? Now you’re worried about wasting my youth? Haven’t I wasted enough ti already?”
Chu Yin countered with a sneer.
Mrs. Chu’s face turned pale, unable to continue.
She pressed her lips together and discreetly pointed at Zhou Zhao, who was putting things in the cabinet.
“What about him? He’s young, and I’m sure he’ll have a good future in the company. Even if you don’t beco famous, you’ll have soone to rely on…”
“Enough! What am I to you? A commodity for exchange? You really think I can’t see through your intentions? You’re worried that Chu Wu isn’t reliable, and you fear I won’t care about you either, so you’re trying to marry off for you to get what you want.”
For example, a bride price.
For example, an acceptable-looking son-in-law.
Mrs. Chu imdiately clarified, “No, Ah Yin, I don’t an that. I’m really… at a loss.”
“Hoping that while I’m still a bit popular, you can send off as a favor, at least soone will ensure you’re taken care of in old age? Like before, you and Dad don’t actually love or Chu Wu; you only love yourselves.”
Chu Yin stood up, ready to leave.
Mrs. Chu followed her up and grabbed her, “Ah Yin, he’s so good to you, doesn’t he like you? Won eventually need to get married, isn’t it nice to find soone who likes you?”
“Did he tell you he likes ? Why do you assu soone would want to like ? Or are you suggesting I should go seduce him? Like Chu Wu seducing those n?”
Chu Yin questioned with raised voice.
This drew Zhou Zhao’s attention as he turned around and approached.
“What’s going on?”
“Do you like ?” Chu Yin asked bluntly.
Both Mrs. Chu and Zhou Zhao were startled.
“What’s wrong with you? I like you? Don’t say such things.” Zhou Zhao quickly distanced himself.
Mrs. Chu’s expression turned even uglier.
Chu Yin directly said, “Mom, you heard the answer, next ti you call , I hope Chu Wu will be here too, so we can discuss your retirent plan.”
Even if Chu Yin didn’t want to support them, a court order would still require her to give a few hundred a month.
Having finished speaking, Chu Yin led Zhou Zhao out the door.
“Ah Yin, Ah Yin…”
Mrs. Chu watched Chu Yin’s departing figure, tears streaming down.
She actually didn’t have malicious intentions; she was genuinely afraid of being abandoned amid such changes.
Yet, she no longer knew how to interact with Chu Yin.
After sitting for a while, Father Chu on the hospital bed also woke up.
He drooled at the mouth, struggled for speech several tis but couldn’t control it.
Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Chu grew even more fearful.
She reassured Father Chu to rest well and then turned to call Chu Wu.
Chu Wu answered the call this ti.
“Mom, what’s up again?”
“Your father got so angry because of you that he had a stroke, you should co over.”
“So this solves the car accident issue?” Chu Wu surprisingly relaxed.
“Do you have any conscience? This is your father!”
Listening to Mrs. Chu’s reproaches, Chu Wu wasn’t much moved.
She replied, “If you really love , you’d keep supporting , unless you don’t actually love and are just using , right, Mom?”
Mrs. Chu struggled to breathe.
After a mont, she spoke, “Xiao Wu, you can’t win against Chu Yin anymore. I just saw the man beside her, he looked very capable, definitely more competent than Mo Xuyao, probably holding a good position in the company. Your father is in trouble, and he’s been helping out; it seems he’s fond of Ah Yin.”
Just after she spoke, Mrs. Chu distinctly heard Chu Wu’s breath at ho.
“Where are you?”
“At the hospital, waiting for you.”
Mrs. Chu angrily hung up the phone.
One after another, they only caused her problems, no wonder she took initiative first.
Chu Wu would certainly co.
…
Before heading back to the ward, Chu Yin instructed Zhou Zhao not to tell Sang Li everything.
“He’s quite busy; don’t burden him with my issues. My parents are mine regardless, and even if the blood ties are cut, the law is still there. The sooner I discuss things with Chu Wu, the sooner I can be free.”
“Got it. By the way, what was your mom muttering about earlier? You actually asked if I like you.” Zhou Zhao asked curiously.
“What else could it be? Chu Wu has gone off the rails, and my mom probably thinks she’s unreliable. She’s worried I won’t take care of her, so she wants to marry off early.”
“Is this right? Is this reasonable? She t just once, and wants to marry you to ? Even when buying vegetables, people compare prices.” Zhou Zhao looked at Chu Yin in disbelief.
Chu Yin shrugged.
Suddenly, the door in front was pulled open.
“Marry whom?”
