Chapter 963: Completely Changed

~4 min read 738 words

"Dad, Mom!"

After coming downstairs, Qiu Keying greeted her parents: "Uncle Li is hospitalized; I'm going to accompany Li Xiao to see him."

"You should go; take these along." Mrs. Qiu casually picked up the supplements she had just found and handed them to her daughter: "Don't go empty-handed; it saves you from having to buy them now. These are all good things for nourishing the body; take them to Uncle Li."

"Auntie, there's no need to bring anything. My father will be discharged soon, and there's nothing lacking at home," Li Xiao said softly upon seeing this.

Qiu Keying had already reached out to take them, her tone carrying a hint of assertiveness: "Of course we have to bring them. What would it look like to go empty-handed? What's at home is at home, but this is my gesture."

Qiu Chu and his wife exchanged smiles upon hearing this, and they nodded seriously: "Keying is right. She is the younger generation; she should pay attention to these etiquettes."

He then turned to look at Li Xiao and said: "Li Xiao, pass a message to your father, saying that your uncle and aunt also hope for his speedy recovery. Once I'm free in a few days, I'll pay him a visit."

"Alright, Uncle, I will definitely convey that. Thank you and Auntie for your concern."

After the two children left, Mrs. Qiu even leaned out from the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside, her expression very gentle and looking very happy.

"I see you are very satisfied with Li Xiao?" Qiu Chu asked his wife upon seeing this.

Mrs. Qiu turned her head upon hearing this and raised an eyebrow, asking in return: "What? Are you not satisfied?"

Qiu Chu smiled: "Whether I am satisfied or not is not important; what's important is that Keying likes him. Seeing how anxious and proactive she was just now, I don't know if she would be this nervous if I were to fall ill one day."

"Look at what you're saying." Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but glare at him: "You've spoiled her the most since she was little; if you were really ill, she would definitely be the most nervous. You're even getting jealous of Chairman Li now; Keying is clearly loving the house and its crow here."

"I know, I'm just joking." Qiu Chu exhaled softly, his tone becoming serious: "Actually, I am quite satisfied with Li Xiao. His conditions in all aspects are secondary; it's mainly the person himself—he is very steady at such a young age, has a brain, and knows how to think. With Chairman Li's promotion and guidance in the future, he is material for accomplishing great things."

Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but ask: "Then if he really marries Keying in the future, we only have one daughter, Keying; you will have to provide some assistance in Li Xiao's career."

"That goes without saying; for my daughter's sake, I will definitely support Li Xiao," Qiu Chu said seriously.

On the other side, Qiu Keying and Li Xiao drove all the way to the hospital. As it turned out, just as they picked up the items and locked the car, they bumped into Mrs. Li the moment they turned around.

Qiu Keying reacted quickly, calling out sweetly from afar: "Auntie!"

Li Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Mom? You... where are you going?"

Seeing Qiu Keying, Mrs. Li immediately revealed a joyful smile. She greeted her and walked up quickly, giving Qiu Keying an intimate hug: "Keying, I haven't seen you in a long time. Are you here to see Uncle Li?"

"Yes, Auntie," Qiu Keying replied, then pouted and said coquettishly: "Li Xiao is really something; Uncle was sick and he only told me today, otherwise I definitely would have come to visit Uncle long ago."

Mrs. Li smiled upon hearing this: "It's a small problem; he's about to be discharged. Your uncle didn't want to make it known to everyone and cause a big stir."

After saying this, she looked at Li Xiao, a strange look flashing in her eyes, but she still said in a normal tone: "Then you take Keying up. It just so happens that there's no one in the ward right now; I'm going out, I have an appointment with a friend."

Li Xiao didn't catch that slight, inconspicuous strangeness in his mother, only nodding: "Alright, we'll go up first." ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
