Chapter 728: There must be something on her mind

"Mom is fine."

Shen Jingjing pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, not wanting her daughter to think too much: "Maybe there are too many things at the company recently, and I'm a bit dizzy from being busy."

Shen Ci and Shen Li looked at each other suspiciously, but they didn't continue to ask. Shen Li took the initiative to pick up the plate of shredded potatoes and go to the kitchen: "I'll pour this out; let's eat the other dishes."

During the meal, Shen Ci looked at her mother from time to time, still feeling that her state was wrong.

Usually, at dinner time, even if there were only her and her mother at home, it was full of laughter, but today her mother was unusually silent; it was obvious she had something on her mind.

"Mom, if you encounter any difficulties in business, you can tell me." Shen Ci couldn't help but speak.

Shen Jingjing put a piece of beef rib into her daughter's bowl: "It's fine, Mom can handle it. Your aunt also said she would come to help me in a few days, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Have you met with Gao Zhan recently?"

Shen Ci shook her head: "He's been very busy lately. He was transferred from the inpatient department to the outpatient department of the obstetrics and gynecology department. He said that there are a lot of pregnancies in the two months after Valentine's Day, and the department is too busy to handle it."

Then there was a silence at the table.

Shen Ci looked at her mother and found that she was holding her bowl in a daze, obviously not listening to what she was saying.

"Mom?"

"Ah." Shen Jingjing came back to her senses and nodded: "You're almost starting school too; you should find time to see him more."

Shen Ci frowned slightly, her face full of worry.

Shen Li also saw it: "Mom, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No, I don't feel unwell."

Shen Ci hesitated and said in a semi-commanding tone: "I'll go to the hospital to find Gao Zhan tomorrow. Mom, you come with me, and I'll take you for a physical examination."

"Didn't you check last year? There was no problem at all," Shen Jingjing said.

"That was half a year ago. Physical examinations should be done frequently; otherwise, you won't know if your body has problems. Don't cook tomorrow morning; come to the hospital with me on an empty stomach."

Shen Jingjing pursed her lips. In the end, she didn't refute. After all, a physical examination was a serious matter. Now that the family didn't have to worry about money, the most important thing was physical health so they could enjoy life well. This was what her daughter said, and she felt it made a lot of sense.

So early the next morning, Shen Ci set an alarm and got up at seven o'clock.

"Mom, didn't you sleep well? Why is your complexion so bad?"

Seeing her mother's slightly sallow and dull complexion, as well as the obvious dark circles, Shen Ci asked with concern: "Don't you sleep very well when you're tired?"

Shen Jingjing touched her face: "Is my complexion very bad? I slept quite well!"

She lied. She barely fell asleep until three or four in the morning, so she only slept for three or four hours.

Her heart was very chaotic, a mess, and she couldn't sleep at all.

She wanted to drive, but she was stopped by her daughter: "I'll drive."

All the way to the hospital, Shen Ci took her mother to register, draw blood, take pictures, etc., one item after another.

Shen Jingjing was also very cooperative, just obviously lacking energy.

After a busy time, she had her whole body checked thoroughly from inside to outside. Some reports had to wait for one or two days, and the reports in hand showed no problems.

Shen Ci was slightly relieved. Seeing this, Shen Jingjing smiled: "See, Mom said there was nothing wrong with her body."

"I was worried about you because your state was wrong." Shen Ci sighed helplessly and looked at her mother: "Since there is nothing wrong with your body, then there is something on your mind."

"Mom, what happened yesterday? You were very abnormal. A'Li didn't say much, but you have to tell me clearly now."

Shen Jingjing smiled indifferently and shook her head as if nothing happened: "How could there be anything on my mind? Stop thinking wildly."

Shen Jingjing resisted telling her daughter what was on her mind; she felt it was hard to speak about.

And the truth or falsehood of this matter was still unknown. Don't make a big joke in the end.

"You, go see Gao Zhan quickly. I'm going to the company." Shen Jingjing said and reached out: "Give me the car keys."

"You can mix up sugar and salt. Can I rest assured letting you drive?" Shen Ci said with a tough attitude: "I'll take you, or you can take a taxi; you can't drive."

"Then I'll take a taxi." Shen Jingjing chose to take a taxi without hesitation. She was afraid her daughter would keep asking, so she waved to her daughter and left the hospital quickly.

Shen Ci looked at her mother's back, her eyes darkening. Her mother was unwilling to say, so she didn't pursue it, but she could be sure that her mother definitely had something on her mind.

She turned to video call her aunt.

"Aunt, didn't you go to deliver food to my mom yesterday? Did you notice anything wrong with her at the time?"

Shen Yingying was surprised upon hearing this: "Anything wrong? No, she was in a good mood and ate almost all the food I brought."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with your mom?" Shen Yingying asked back.

Shen Ci told her aunt what she saw and guessed truthfully.

"Ah?" Shen Yingying was shocked: "Sugar and salt mixed up? How is this possible! Your uncle and I have dealt with these two seasonings every day for decades and never made a mistake."

"Was she absent-minded when she got home at night?"

Shen Ci nodded.

Shen Yingying recalled: "I didn't see anything special at your mom's place yesterday. That big boss who pursues your mom sent a bouquet of flowers, but he didn't come. Then a client came, and your mom received her personally. It was a woman with great temperament. Her surname is Wen. The two didn't talk about anything; it was all normal business communication."

"Then when sending that Ms. Wen away, I met your mom's friend who came to send her bird's nest. Your mom called her... called her what..."

Shen Ci reminded subconsciously: "Sister Moru?"

"Right!" Shen Yingying reacted immediately: "It's Sister Moru. That Sister Moru also knows Ms. Wen, and their relationship looked good, but they chatted for two sentences and then left 'Jingjie' together. Then I took the lunch box and left too. When I left, your mom was still fine."

Listening to her aunt's recollection, Shen Ci felt a little more at ease, wondering if she had thought too much.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard her aunt suddenly say again: "Oh right, after I left and was waiting for the online car-hailing on the side of the road, I saw that Sister Moru went back."

"A'Ci, do you know this Moru?"

"I know her. I'll ask her if anything happened later."

"Okay, if there is really anything, remember to tell me, don't let me worry."

Shen Ci hung up the phone and sent a message to Chen Moru: "Aunt Moru, are you convenient for a video call now? I have something to find you."

Soon, Chen Moru took the initiative to return a video call.

The video was connected. Chen Moru was sitting in the group office. Seeing Shen Ci in the picture, she couldn't help but smile: "A'Ci, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Aunt Moru." ===== CHAPTER 729 =====
