Chapter 650
Shu Xia listened, feeling alarmed: "Brother, I have some things to handle right now, and Qiao Muting is also a bit busy, so I can't go see Mom for the time being. Can you help me think of an excuse so Mom will give up the idea of coming to see me?"
"Alright, I'll think of a way. However, you can't stall for too long. How are you and your husband getting along right now?" After agreeing, Shu Xuan asked about the situation.
After the incident with Shen Anran, it was undeniable that he had indeed been hurt, but these past few days he had overlooked one thing.
He had been hurt, but what about Xia Xia?
Would this matter affect her relationship with Qiao Muting?
Shu Xia's gaze flickered; she glanced at the hospital room door, then gave a soft "mm," "The two of us are getting along well right now, Brother, don't worry."
"Mm, I have made a clean break with Shen Anran and there will absolutely be no more messy trouble. Some things have nothing to do with others; it was just that I, your brother, trusted people too easily. Some things and some people actually had traces to follow, but I deliberately ignored them. Xia Xia, be well with your husband, you know? A person will always experience all kinds of things in this life; there are no days that are always calm and smooth." Shu Xuan gave another earnest exhortation.
Shu Xia's heart trembled slightly.
It was as if something she couldn't figure out had suddenly become clear.
It seemed she really had been overly suspicious of everyone and everything.
"Mm, I know, Brother."
After the siblings finished their call, Shu Xia took the opportunity to check WeChat.
There just happened to be no messages on WeChat these past few days.
Jiang Nannan and Sheng An had gone to film, so they must be very busy these days, occasionally sending her a few photos.
There were also photos Gu Cheng sent of him playing abroad.
She hadn't replied, and they should be used to it, knowing she had work to be busy with recently.
Finally, there was the matter of her shop.
She took a look at Taobao; Jiang Ye could handle many things now.
It just so happened that she had previously posted a notice on the shop's homepage that the shop owner was busy recently and would not be accepting inquiries for the time being.
After looking through everything, Shu Xia felt relieved.
Just as she put her phone down, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.
Immediately after, Gu Lao and Chen Lao walked in.
When the two saw Shu Xia, their eyes both turned red.
"You're really alright, that's great. Xia Xia, you really scared us to death these past few days, it's good that you're okay," Gu Lao said.
Chen Lao also followed up: "If something had really happened to you, Grandpa Chen would have blamed himself to death and wouldn't have the face to see Zhong Nainai in the future."
Shu Xia looked at the two grandfathers' self-reproachful and worried expressions and quickly said: "I'm really alright now, Gu Lao, Chen Lao, please don't worry. It's also my fault for not calling out one more time before I fainted. In the end, I was too young and didn't have enough experience handling these matters, which is why I was hurt by the Evil Object."
"You child, why are you still taking the blame on yourself?" Chen Lao said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
No wonder Zhong Jiejie taught all her skills to this child; such a child with upright character is worth it.
Gu Lao turned his head to look at Qiao Muting, who had followed them in: "What did the doctor say? All of Xia Xia's expenses at the hospital will be covered by me."
"The doctor said to rest well for a few days, and she can be discharged in two days," Qiao Muting replied.
His woman was hospitalized, so he would cover whatever it cost.
Moreover, the hospital was also an industry of the Qiao Family.
Gu Lao was an elder, so naturally, he wouldn't let Gu Lao cover the expenses.
"That's good, that's good." Chen Lao nodded in relief, then looked at Gu Lao again: "We agreed that I would cover it, so why are you snatching it up when we get here? Do you think that because I live in the county, I'm so poor I can't even afford a meal?"
If he didn't do something, he wouldn't feel comfortable.
Although the child had woken up now, her complexion still looked pale and bloodless.
Shu Xia watched them arguing over who would be responsible for her and changed the subject: "Grandpa Chen, has that phoenix been handled according to what I said?"
"Yes, yes, it has been put away according to what you said." Chen Lao nodded immediately.
Shu Xia's expression darkened slightly, and after a few minutes of silence, she said: "After my body recovers in these two days, I will draw a talisman. At that time, Chen Lao, you can stick it on it, and then hand the object to me; I will place it."
It could still be dealt with now because the phoenix was not a bronze artifact, and the item was small and almost forgotten by Chen Lao, who didn't usually go to observe or admire it. If Chen Lao observed and admired it every day, or even touched it frequently, she would absolutely be unable to save the situation.
Chen Lao would end up like that friend of Gu Lao's before, and she would be powerless to help.
