Chapter 30: Su Yun Jiao Hospitalized

Outside, Zhou Tingting had already returned from school; she walked to the outside of the ward and then shoved the door open.

"Brother, you asked me to bring you the homework."

As soon as Zhou Tingting walked in, she saw the dinner laid out before Zhou Xian.

Her face changed: "Brother! How can you eat yam? You hate yam the most, don't you? And lamb. Which cook made today's meal? Fire him!"

Beside her, Su Yun Jiao, watching Zhou Tingting throw a tantrum, blinked in surprise.

Zhou Xian darkened his face: "Tingting! What nonsense are you spouting? Take the homework, give it to me, and leave; don't make a scene here."

"When have I been talking nonsense? You clearly don't like..."

"Class monitor, you don't like eating yam and lamb, do you?"

Su Yun Jiao from the neighboring sickbed said: "Class monitor, you actually don't need to keep me company eating these."

"It's fine; just a change of taste."

Zhou Xian said to Zhou Tingting: "Didn't I ask you to bring Su Yun Jiao's homework too? Where is the paper?"

"..."

Zhou Tingting reluctantly placed the test paper in her hand before Zhou Xian: "Here it is!"

"It's not for me; it's for her."

"Brother, you clearly know I don't like her."

Zhou Tingting also didn't know what was good about Su Yun Jiao.

Her own brother always takes care of her.

"Hurry up and go."

Faced with her brother's order, Zhou Tingting could only reluctantly hand the test paper in her hand to Su Yun Jiao.

"Your homework."

"Thank you."

Su Yun Jiao took the test paper.

Zhou Tingting glanced at the meal before Su Yun Jiao, identical to her brother's, and dissatisfied said: "Go, I'm hungry too; give me the menu."

"Yes, Eldest Miss."

"If you're hungry, go home to eat; don't eat here."

"Why not? I want to eat here."

Zhou Tingting directly sat on the nearby sofa, crossed her legs, and waited for the nurse to bring the menu to her hand.

Anyway, Central City Hospital is also their family's property; she wants to eat wherever she pleases.

"This one, and this one."

Zhou Tingting said: "Foie gras, fillet steak, baked snails, herb cake, and this, red wine braised lobster!"

Hearing Zhou Tingting list those dish names, Su Yun Jiao lowered her head and glanced at her own meal again.

Suddenly she found it not appetizing.

Zhou Xian frowned: "After the dishes are ready, send them to the first floor and take Eldest Miss to eat at the first-floor restaurant."

"Yes, young master."

"Brother, I want to eat here!"

Zhou Tingting is deliberately trying to make Su Yun Jiao salivate.

As a patient, she cannot have these delicacies.

"Zhou Tingting, no fooling around."

Zhou Xian took the menu from Zhou Tingting's hand and passed it to the nurse: "Take Eldest Miss out immediately."

"Yes, young master."

The nurse, helpless, could only ask Zhou Tingting to leave first.

Zhou Tingting glanced at Zhou Xian, then at Su Yun Jiao, stomped her foot angrily: "Fine, I'll go!"

Seeing Zhou Tingting leave, Zhou Xian then said to Su Yun Jiao: "Don't mind her; Tingting is just like that."

"I didn't expect the food at Central City Hospital to be better than I imagined."

"I just... don't want to make you hungry."

Su Yun Jiao just had an allergic reaction today; she can't eat these greasy things.

These are already all the meat dishes Su Yun Jiao can eat.

"It's fine, class monitor; I know you mean well."

Su Yun Jiao ate her meal and said: "Your family's chef is really good; I love all these dishes."

"As long as you like them, that's good."

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to glance at her phone; she didn't know whether the message she sent to Lu Jingqing this afternoon had been received.

By all means, don't let the driver again take the luxury car to pick her up at the school gate.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the ward.

"Ma'am, we've already said that patients in this ward do not accept visitors."

"How could visitors not be allowed? I'm her guardian; I want to see her condition—let me in!"

Lu Mu made a move to go in, but the nurse hurriedly said: "Sorry, ma'am, really not possible..."

"What's wrong with this hospital? I said I'm her guardian! What right do you have to keep me out?"

Lu Mu frowned.

She grabbed the nurse in front of her and shoved open the ward door.

"Ma'am! You cannot go in..."

The nurse couldn't stop Lu Mu.

As Lu Mu pushed the door open, she saw Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian eating in a room.

Lu Mu had previously seen Zhou Xian once, after Lu Chi struck him.

That incident made her lose face.

Lu Mu's impression of him was deep.

Seeing Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao in the same ward made Lu Mu even more furious.

But thinking she had come to see Su Yun Jiao, Lu Mu could only suppress her displeasure, feigning concern and asked: "Jiao Jiao, how did you suddenly get an allergy? How are you? Let Auntie have a look."

Lu Mu stepped forward, about to grab Su Yun Jiao.

The nurse immediately stopped her: "Ma'am, the patient needs to rest now; you're disturbing her. If you keep this up, I'll call security!"

"I'm Su Yun Jiao's guardian; I'm just worried about my future daughter-in-law—is that not allowed?"

Lu Mu frowned: "I've never seen a hospital like yours! You serve such greasy food to a patient; she should be having congee now!"

Having said that, Lu Mu moved to take away the food in front of Su Yun Jiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Xian set down his soup spoon, his tone turning cold: "This is our hospital's nutrition meal, Mrs. Lu; doing this disrupts the patient's rest."

"No nutrition meal justifies feeding meat to a patient!" Lu Mu said: "You're young and clueless! I think this lavish spread is just a money‑making scam."

Seeing Lu Mu disparage the hospital, Su Yun Jiao said: "Auntie Lu, this is what I want to eat; what does it have to do with the hospital? And how is this a scam?"

"As I said, you're young and don't understand!"

Lu Mu said: "Jiao Jiao, I don't think you're comfortable here; I'll go to the front desk to arrange your discharge, and the driver has the car waiting outside—let's go now."

Seeing Lu Mu about to take Su Yun Jiao away, Zhou Xian said: "Su Yun Jiao still needs inpatient observation; she can't leave yet. Besides, Jiao Jiao doesn't want to go—you should respect the patient's wishes."

"I'm her guardian—do you even know what that means? She's a minor; what personal wishes could she have?"

Lu Mu said: "I'm doing this for her own good; stop corrupting her."

Having said that, Lu Mu turned to Su Yun Jiao and said: "Jiao Jiao, let's go!"

Lu Mu grabbed Su Yun Jiao and yanked hard; in an instant Su Yun Jiao felt herself being torn apart.

"Stop!"
