"I have no money!" Mu Qishan raised her chin, especially horizontally.
"It doesn't matter, we have already called my uncle anyway. He has to come to pick you up. When the time comes, let him pay." Gu Nian said coldly, not afraid at all.
Mu Qishan said bitterly: "He is your uncle and my aunt's brother. What do you still want?"
"You had the nerve to point at my nose and call me a bitch, and destroyed our house. What should I be embarrassed about? Mu Qishan, stop having have double standards as a human being."
Mu Qishan was so angry that she stomped her feet and ran away.
Mu Lanshu opened her mouth and wanted to call her out, but no sound came out.
But after a while, she still said uneasily: "Is she going to be okay if she ran out blindly like this?"
Chu Zhaoyang said coldly: "She is an adult."
Mu Lanshu sighed: "Hey, she...she is Dingjie's daughter after all. Your uncle only has such a daughter. Even if I am angry with her, I will not interact with her in the future, but I don't want anything to happen to her."
"Mom, don't worry so much. The doctor just told you to take a good rest, and don't think about this and that all the time. Otherwise, if you keep thinking about it too many times, you will really become sick and it won't be cured." Gu Nian said, " What could happen to her in broad daylight?"
"She has been in City B for a while and is familiar with it. She won't let anything happen to someone she values so much."
Mu Lanshu sighed and said nothing more.
Mu Qishan turned around and went to the bathroom. When she saw her embarrassed and ugly look in the mirror, she screamed immediately.
No one even reminded her that she was like this.
The tears on her face have long since dried.
The smudged makeup was also patchy and mottled like cracks on the wall, sticking to her face.
She actually lost such big face just by walking through the city like this.
Suddenly, Mu Qishan thought again that when she met Yan Lui at home before, he saw herself with the same ghostly appearance.
No wonder Yan Lui didn't even look at her!
Mu Lanshu and Gu Nian didn't even tell her that the mother and daughter did it on purpose!
She quickly washed off all the makeup on her face. Although she felt that she looked better without makeup than with makeup, it was still better than the ghost look just now.
***
In the ward, Mu Lanshu felt that nothing was seriously wrong with her.
Even though this was Chu Zhaoyang's hospital, she didn't have to spend any money to live here.
However, she still felt uneasy about living in such a luxurious room for nothing and asked to be discharged from the hospital.
Gu Nian was naturally worried: "Mom, please stay here for at least one night and be observed. Besides, I'm worried if you go back to live with Mu Qishan."
"I live in the hospital, and I don't feel at ease." Mu Lanshu said, "No matter how luxurious a place is, it's not as safe as living in your own home."
"Otherwise, you come back to Lanyuan with us." Gu Nian said, really worried about Mu Lanshu living with Mu Qishan.
"That's not okay." Mu Lanshu glared, "I'm not comfortable living with you two. I'm really fine. The doctors said I'm fine. Besides, I'm not worry about Mu Qishan being there."
"It's not that I look down on her, but I have my bankbook and cash at home, so I have to be on guard against others," Mu Lanshu said.
"There isn't much cash at home, so even if she took the bankbook, it would be useless." Gu Nian said, "Mom——"
"Stop talking, I just want to go back to my home." Mu Lanshu insisted, "What can Mu Qishan, a little girl, do to me?"
"Then I will go back to accompany you tonight." Gu Nian said.
Mu Lanshu said "ouch", if this really happened, wouldn't Chu Zhaoyang have to follow her?
Anyway, it was impossible for Chu Zhaoyang to be separated from Gu Nian.
Mu Lanshu really saw through this son-in-law.
"Don't make trouble." Mu Lanshu said with a serious face, "You kid, why don't you trust me?"
Gu Nian bulged her cheeks, she was just worried!
"Mu Qishan is a little girl. She doesn't have the guts to do anything really harmful. The most she can do is scold and fight. Look, what else did she do besides scolding her when she went back today? Now she has smashed everything in the house. Once it's clean, she won't have to make trouble again." Mu Lanshu advised.
After talking a lot, good and bad, she finally convinced Gu Nian to agree.
However, she also promised to call her immediately if something happens, or call the police directly.
As a concession, Mu Lanshu stayed in the hospital until evening to make sure that everything was fine.
Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian took her to have dinner before sending her home.
Gu Nian was worried and knocked on the doors of the neighbors on both sides again, asking them to pay more attention to what was going on at home.
The neighbors on both sides patted their chests and promised to pay attention, but if that didn't work, they could just let Mu Lanshu sleep at their house.
How could Mu Lanshu go to thier house, but Gu Nian was somewhat relieved.
She followed Chu Zhaoyang back to Lanyuan.
***
When Gu Nian came out of the shower, Chu Zhaoyang was sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard.
With a notebook on his lap, he was working.
Gu Nian was wearing simple cotton pajamas, a two-piece set of tops and trousers, which was very homely and comfortable.
There was no trace of temptation, but in Chu Zhaoyang's eyes, it was comfortable and pleasant, with a different kind of fragrance.
She also climbed into bed and picked up her phone from the bedside table next to her. Just as she was about to use it to read a novel or something, Chu Zhaoyang suddenly closed his notebook and put it aside.
Gu Nian immediately became nervous, her finger hovering above the screen without clicking.
She blinked her eyes, unable to ignore Chu Zhaoyang's gaze.
Turning to look at him stiffly, she heard him ask: "I took the phone from your bag today, and I did see something."
Gu Nian: "..."
Then he still pretend to be stupid during the day!
Now, Gu Nian was sure that Chu Zhaoyang has discovered the gift.
Chu Zhaoyang touched his knuckles with his thumb: "The packaging is quite exquisite."
Gu Nian: "..."
"What is it used for?" Chu Zhaoyang asked.
"..." Gu Nian sucked her lips and asked depressedly, "Can I not say it?"
Chu Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows and looked at her without saying a word.
OK, Gu Nian understood.
"You really want to know?" Gu Nian asked.
Chu Zhaoyang: "..."
"Don't regret it?" Gu Nian asked again.
Chu Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows.
She glared at him depressingly, got out of bed, took out the box of beautifully packaged cufflinks from her bag, and came back and handed it to him: "Open it and take a look."
The surprise was gone, but who made him want to know?
Anyway, in the end, he was definitely the one who regretted it the most.
"…" Chu Zhaoyang suddenly hesitated.
This girl, what was her plan?
However, without taking it apart and taking a look, he was still curious and itchy.
In the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and started to take it apart.
He always felt a little uneasy, so he opened it very carefully without damaging the packaging.
The wrapping paper also has the brand's LOGO printed on it. It's a well-known brand and not cheap.
Several of his tie clips were also from this brand.
But he didn't receive a charge reminder from his credit card either.
Perplexed, he completely tore apart the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside was a pair of high-quality sapphire cufflinks, which looked like they were for men.
Chu Zhaoyang looked at Gu Nian in confusion, and Gu Nian explained angrily: "Isn't it your birthday on the 17th of this month? I have been thinking about what gift to give you these days. When I was shopping today, I suddenly saw something from the window. When I saw this pair of cufflinks, I thought they fit you very well at first sight."
Chu Zhaoyang: "..."
He had began to regret it.
"Because it's a gift for you, of course I can't spend your money. All the money in my salary card was used to buy this. I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but since you want to know, I'll give it to you now, Think of it as an early birthday gift to you."
Gu Nian rolled his eyes at him: "There will be no surprises then!"
Chu Zhaoyang: "..."
He regretted it. What should he do?
"It's so annoying, it ruined all my thoughts!" Gu Nian was so depressed that she didn't want to pay attention to him.
"…" Chu Zhaoyang held the cufflinks with a heavy heart, "There's no more on my birthday?"
"I found this with great difficulty." Gu Nian felt aggrieved that the surprise was ruined. "Even if I wanted to find another surprise for you, I might not be able to find it. Besides, I remember your birthday and want to give it to you. This is also a surprise, don't you think? Now you know it too."
Chu Zhaoyang: "..."
