Chapter 273: Chapter 158 Family_2
“She’s young; she probably won’t have any scars in the future.”
Shu Wan was rely stating a fact, yet Zhao Yan took it as a consolation, “Thank you, Lady Shu, for staying with all the way to the hospital. I will rember your kindness.”
“You’re welco.” Shu Wan glanced at the ti, “I’ll co check on the situation again once it stabilizes. I’ll head back first.”
“Okay, thank you.” Zhao Yan was exhausted and had no desire to see Shu Wan off, “Then I won’t walk you out.”
“No need.”
Instead of going directly ho after leaving the hospital, Shu Wan went to the hotel where Liu Zhaodi was staying.
She knocked on the door, and Liu Zhaodi quickly ca to open it, her face brimming with smiles, “My dear, you’re here! I haven’t seen you in such a long ti.”
As Shu Wan entered, she inquired about Liu Zhaodi’s health, “How have you been feeling lately?”
With that, Shu Wan noticed a young man lying on the sofa. He wore glasses, had a thin face, and was gripping a cigarette, puffing away in leisure.
Through the curling smoke, the man’s gaze lit up as he saw Shu Wan, “Mom, is this the woman who’s been helping you?”
With that, the man stood up, switched the cigarette to his left hand, and held out his right hand, intending to shake hands with Shu Wan.
Shu Wan glanced at his nicotine-stained fingers, her eyes chilling slightly as she ignored his gesture and turned back to Liu Zhaodi, “Didn’t I tell you that you can’t be exposed to secondhand smoke?”
“It’s fine,” Liu Zhaodi hastily explained, afraid Shu Wan would reprimand her son. “I can’t sll the smoke. This is my son, Liu Yang, a graduate of a prestigious university, now a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company. He’s very impressive.”
Liu Yang, listening to his mother’s introduction, couldn’t hide his pride. He smiled at Shu Wan, revealing teeth stained yellow by smoking, despite his young age, “Hello, thank you for taking care of my mom. If there’s anything you need in the future, you can co directly to . Let’s add each other on WeChat.”
Shu Wan, who detested the sll of smoke, had no wish to stay a second longer in such an environnt. She looked at Liu Zhaodi, “I’ve already arranged everything with the hospital. Here is the contact information for the hospital staff who will be in charge of your follow-up matters.”
With that, Shu Wan left a business card and then exited the room.
Liu Yang and Liu Zhaodi wanted to follow, but Shu Wan quickly disappeared into the elevator.
“My son, don’t you think this girl is beautiful? And kind too. If she were to marry you, she’d certainly be very attentive at ho,” Liu Zhaodi said, looking at Liu Yang with an ingratiating smile. If it hadn’t been for her secretly sending Liu Yang a photo of Shu Wan, he wouldn’t have co to see her at all.
Having rekindled contact with her son, Liu Zhaodi naturally did her utmost to please him.
“She’s pretty, but she’s too headstrong, hardly pays any attention to .” Liu Yang was slightly annoyed, but the thought of Shu Wan’s beautiful face quickly soothed his feelings, “Next ti you call her over, I’ll co to see you again.”
After saying this, Liu Yang prepared to leave the room.
But Liu Zhaodi, having just seen her son, couldn’t bear to let him go, “Yang Yang, it’s been a long ti since you had the braised pork knuckle I make for you. Where are you living now? I’ll co over and cook for you.”
“Do you even have the nerve to ask?” Liu Yang looked at Liu Zhaodi with disdain, “Other parents can buy houses for their children, but you can’t even get one. I have to rent a place with others. Why would you visit? To let my roommates see how poor my mother is?”
Confronted with Liu Yang’s reproach, Liu Zhaodi felt both sad and ashad, “I’m sorry, son. Then I won’t go. Call when you want to eat.”
“Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless you can help marry this beautiful bride. Then I will acknowledge you as my mother and even take good care of you from now on.” ntioning Shu Wan made Liu Yang’s eyes gleam with interest.
“My son is so outstanding that any girl would fall for you after spending more ti with you.”
Liu Zhaodi had grown up in a rural area that favored sons over daughters. In her world, Liu Yang was a man who had managed to attend university in Imperial City, moreover, he had a great job. She believed he was the best catch in the world, good enough for any woman.
Liu Zhaodi hadn’t experienced much of the world, but Liu Yang was well aware of his own rits.
He knew the likelihood of Shu Wan taking an interest in him was slim to none, “But what if she doesn’t like ?”
