"Didn't bring him back? What are you even good for if you didn't bring him back?"
The woman lying in the bed became agitated upon hearing these words and got up, pointing at Long Jiu's nose and bursting into a scolding, her shrill voice making Long Jiu's eyes slightly darken.
This woman had quite a pleasant face, except for her arched, drooping eyebrows and slightly upturned eyes which, combined with her body clad in glittering jewels, gave her an imposing and harsh demeanor. At this moment, as she pointed and cursed at Long Jiu, she looked more like a common fishwife.
She was none other than Bei Zhe's mother, the wife of Bei Yanghui, Zhou Xiuyan.
Before Long Jiu could respond, the originally unconscious Bei Zhe groaned, awakened by her voice, and hoarsely called out, "Mom, you're so loud..."
"Oh, my dear Zhezhe!" Hearing Bei Zhe's voice, Zhou Xiuyan rushed back to the bedside, apologizing repeatedly with distress, "I'm sorry, I disturbed you, it's all my fault."
