Chapter 267: Could it be that I've caught some serious illness?

Very quickly, Shen Chi withdrew his gaze; he thought that once he found his daughter, he would surely be just as happy.

Playing the stock market ruins people; now that his daughter was back, he should properly find a job to earn money for her to spend.

Shen Chi now felt some regret that he hadn't studied hard back then; without any educational background, the best way to accumulate wealth was still to go back to his old trade of setting up a street stall.

However, he had no capital to do business.

Shen Chi thought of his younger sister; unlike Li Xuan, when Shen Yuan had left Huaiyang, she had given him her mobile phone number.

In this world, no matter how others treated them, the two of them were always connected by blood.

Although he knew his younger sister's life might not be too easy, Shen Chi still decided to ask her for some money.

He made the call, and after a short while, Shen Yuan picked up.

"Brother, what is it? Did something happen to Mom?"

Shen Chi, "Why would you ask that?"

Shen Yuan, "I just had a dream, I dreamed that our mom died."

Shen Chi:...

He had been worrying about not having an excuse to ask for money, and suddenly, things became clear, "It is about Mom."

"But she hasn't died yet; it's just that she has a serious illness and needs surgery. I don't have enough money, so I wanted to ask if you have any."

There was silence on the other end for a moment.

Shen Yuan said, "Actually, it would be better if she died."

Although Shen Chi agreed with his younger sister's words, he still said, "After all, in this world, she is the only mom we have; if she dies, we won't have a mom anymore."

"Send me the account number. I only have five thousand yuan on me; I'll send it all to you."

At this moment, Li Xuan did not yet know that she was seriously ill and needed surgery; she was under a bridge arch, bragging to a new beggar nearby.

"Back in the day, I was a County Magistrate's wife!"

"I even gave birth to a pair of twins for him!"

"I was a Dance Teacher, and many people envied me."

At this time, an old woman let out a mocking laugh, "Then what kind of wicked things did you do to end up in the same plight as us?"

Li Xuan:...

"Wang Laopozi, I don't like listening to you talk. Tell me, isn't it your own fault that your husband didn't want you? You have no business having that mouth!"

Li Xuan immediately retorted.

"You're no better yourself, and you have the nerve to brag here. Who doesn't know that you weren't any County Magistrate's wife back then? You were just the mistress of a County Magistrate!"

"You shameless mistress! You deserve to live under a bridge in your old age! The real County Magistrate's wife was born for wealth! She is now a proper Commander's Wife!"

"You and her are like heaven and earth!"

"She saves people and gets in the newspapers like a living Bodhisattva, while you are just a bedbug in the dirt! A jinx!"

Wang Laopozi had a sharp tongue, and Li Xuan couldn't get the better of her at all.

"What's the use of her being so impressive? She's about to die! I know men; once she dies, the Commander will have to remarry!"

Li Xuan understood this process all too well, "You old hag, you're just jealous of me! How dare you talk to me like that? I have even been a proper Commander's Wife myself."

"That's truly laughable! You, even if you put on a dragon robe, you wouldn't look like a crown prince," Wang Laopozi continued to educate the crowd, "She, she was a replacement wife for a retired Commander, but ended up getting together with his son and was kicked straight out of the house! Hahaha, it's hilarious!"

Li Xuan was almost angered to death by her; she felt a heavy blockage in her chest and couldn't say a single word.

After a while, a sudden smell of blood rose from her throat, and Li Xuan 'wahed' and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The crowd hurriedly backed away.

Li Xuan herself was a bit scared; why did she spit blood?

Could it be that she had caught some serious illness?

No, it must just be that she was angered by this old hag.

She lay back down on her bedding and ignored the others.

Let these people be jealous; in any case, her later years would never be this miserable.

Now that the good days had just begun, Si Rong, that nemesis, was finally going to die, and she had also found her own biological granddaughter.

After the surgery, Si Rong's body improved day by day.

Every day, Jiang Cheng stayed in the hospital room to take care of her personally, while the two brothers, along with Jiang Yu and Ming Zi, took turns bringing her nutritious meals in different varieties; she felt she had even gained weight from being hospitalized.

After recuperating for three days, Si Rong couldn't sit still anymore; she wanted to be discharged as soon as possible.

"Jiang Cheng, go and handle the discharge procedures for me! I want to go back to our home."

"That will have to be asked of the doctor," Jiang Cheng gently massaged her waist, "Are you tired of lying down? Shall I accompany you downstairs to soak up some sun?"

Si Rong turned her head away and ignored him, "I want to go home."

"Really, why is your temper like a child's," Jiang Cheng laughed, "If the doctor agrees, I will go handle the procedures immediately, I'll run to do it."

"Run?" Si Rong turned her face to look at the wrinkles under his eyes and raised her hand to touch them, "At your age, can you still run?"

Jiang Cheng hummed, "At my age, not only can I run, I can also..."

He leaned into Si Rong's ear and finished the rest of his sentence, only to be pinched on the arm by Si Rong.

She took the opportunity to roll her eyes at him, "You old lecher!"

"Only toward you," Jiang Cheng rarely wanted to say something romantic, "Being able to be a lecher by your side for a lifetime is worth it, am I romantic?"

"I heard the 'lecher' part, but I haven't heard the 'romantic' part yet," Si Rong was amused by him and couldn't stop laughing.

When the doctor came for rounds, he agreed to their discharge and reminded them to take their medicine on time.

"Commander Jiang, hurry up and run to handle the discharge for me!" Si Rong urged.

"At your command, Miss Si Rong."

The two young nurses who heard their conversation at the doorway couldn't help but curl their lips into smiles.

They whispered to each other.

"My parents are always urging me to get married; if I could have a marriage like this, I would be willing."

"Indeed, the affection between this elderly couple is truly the best I have ever seen."

"Yesterday, I saw that old gentleman fall asleep resting on his wife's lap, and his wife stayed perfectly still waiting for him to wake up."

"That's because he spent the middle of the night watching his wife's IV drip until dawn; others were worried just looking at him."

"If all the men women married were like this, I believe no woman would be afraid of marriage."

Once the paperwork was finished, Si Rong could be discharged, and Ming Zi had also come to pick them up.

When they reached the second floor, they happened to run into the Bai family along with Li Xuan and her son.

"Wait a moment, let's watch a good show before we leave," Ming Zi said, linking her arm with Si Rong's.

Seeing all these people appear together in the Hematology Department, Si Rong roughly understood what was about to happen.

Li Xuan was very surprised to see Si Rong perfectly fine; she hadn't died? And she looked to be in much better spirits than herself.

Instantly, she felt extremely disappointed.

Shen Chi didn't feel much of anything; he was only interested in one thing right now, and that was the paternity test result.

After obtaining the results from the window, he opened them impatiently.
