Chapter 1742: A Clash of Titans, Sparks Fly
"Moli is injured and needs a blood transfusion at the hospital."
"Ah, I'll take you there."
He was worried his wife might encounter some accident on the road. He drove his wife to the hospital.
The two of them rushed to the hospital, only to find it was a false alarm.
Although the hospital's blood supply was running low, it had been transferred from the blood bank.
Moli was already out of danger and had been moved from the emergency room to the Hospital Ward.
Both strong-willed women were crying, and Sheng Zerong was trying to persuade them.
"Stop crying, look at the two of you, what is this for?"
"When Moli was in the emergency room, you two were as strong as generals planning a strategy; now that he's fine, why are you crying?"
Jian Yixin glared at her husband: "We are crying tears of joy, understand?"
She didn't notice that she used "we" instead of "I," which showed that in her heart, she had already accepted Su Qiangying as one of her own.
"Mm, understood. You two should rest after crying for a while, and let our son rest too; his body is still very weak right now."
What he said made sense; although the two women were reluctant, they agreed. They walked out of the Hospital Ward quietly to discuss the caretaking arrangements.
Although the hospital had nursing staff, it was still more convenient to have family members around to take care of him.
Shi Yuke came over to say goodbye: "Since he's fine, I should go back too."
Jian Yixin and Su Qiangying said in unison: "You should go in and see Moli."
"You should go in and see Moli."
Although they said it together, they still glared at each other forcefully.
Jian Yixin said: "Did I ask for your input?"
Su Qiangying did not show weakness and retorted: "I said it, so what?"
Shi Yuke was afraid the two women would start arguing in front of her, so she hurriedly distanced herself: "No need, no need, it's better to let Moli rest well. I have a pile of things to do at home, so I won't see him. Since I'm not needed for a blood transfusion, I'll be going back..."
She actually wanted to see him very much, but for the sake of the Jian Family's peace and unity, she suppressed the reluctance in her heart.
Jian Yixin glared at Su Qiangying hard and grabbed Shi Yuke: "Go take a look, say two words and come out. I don't believe you don't want to see your son."
"That wouldn't... be good, would it?"
"There's nothing not good about it. You are his biological mother, what's wrong with going to see him? I don't want to be called cold-hearted by someone, but there's no need for someone to act like a saint either."
Su Qiangying: "You..."
"What about me? Isn't it the truth?"
Seeing that these two women were about to argue again, Shi Yuke hurriedly agreed: "I'll go see him, just for a look."
She gently opened the door and went in, intentionally leaving it ajar.
In order not to disturb Moli's rest, the two women temporarily ceased fire, only glaring at each other and saying nothing.
Shi Yuke walked into the Hospital Ward; Moli was already asleep.
Although his complexion was still very pale, his breathing was steady, so he should be fine.
Shi Yuke looked at that face, which was so similar to Sheng Yukai's, and felt a mix of emotions.
Moli was born by her and was also Sheng Yukai's son; he looked exactly like both of them, yet his personality was completely different.
That their son could be as excellent as he was now was inseparable from Jian Yixin's upbringing. It would be better to have less contact in the future and not disturb their happy life.
Shi Yuke walked out of the Hospital Ward.
There was no one in front of the Hospital Ward; where were they?
She looked left and right and saw them.
The two women were arguing at the end of the corridor, deliberately lowering their voices but refusing to give an inch.
Jian Yixin: "... What right do you have to make decisions for me? I come when I want and do what I want; I don't need you to manage me."
Su Qiangying: "Then come ahead. You're made of iron, you can go 24 hours a day without rest? The doctor said Moli needs to be hospitalized for at least half a month."
"If you want to stay here and grind yourself down for that long, go ahead. You'll collapse before he's even better."
It turned out that the two had a disagreement over who would stay here to take care of the patient.
It was originally a perfectly fine thing to say, but Su Qiangying just couldn't say it properly. Seeing the war was about to escalate, Shi Yuke walked over at this moment.
"Moli is fast asleep, I'm going back now."
She left after saying that, and there shouldn't have been any issues.
But this woman kindly added: "You two shouldn't argue, it will affect his rest." She meant well, wanting to divert their attention so they wouldn't argue anymore.
Yet unexpectedly, a perfectly normal sentence was retorted by both women.
Jian Yixin: "Stop acting like a saint here."
Su Qiangying: "You gave birth to him but didn't raise him; now you know how to care? Where were you before?"
Her face flushed red. Forget it, these two women were both people she couldn't afford to provoke. If she couldn't provoke them, she could at least hide. She hurried away.
No one said goodbye to her; the two women behind her started arguing again.
Although they used an argumentative tone, the two of them finally managed to arrange a schedule for taking care of Moli and reached a consensus.
When Su Qiangying wasn't teaching, she would take care of him here; when she was teaching, Jian Yixin would take care of him here. The two would never meet, and all would be peaceful!
It was a simple matter, yet it required an argument to settle. Sheng Zerong felt helpless, and he began to worry for his son.
How would his son live between these two women in the future? How would he endure those days?
Su Qiangying had a class in the afternoon, so she left.
As soon as she left, Jian Yixin said to her husband: "Go back for a trip, bring some of my change of clothes, and also bring the Jade Bracelet that my mother left me from the safe."
Sheng Zerong could understand bringing a change of clothes.
But why bring the Jade Bracelet?
He asked, "At a time like this, you still have the heart to wear a Jade Bracelet?"
That bracelet was an heirloom of the Lady Jian family, passed down from generation to generation to the daughters; usually, Jian Yixin treasured it so much that she would only take it out to wear during festivals and holidays, keeping it locked in a safe the rest of the time for fear of losing it.
Jian Yixin glared at her husband: "It's not for me to wear, it's a gift for Su Qiangying."
"What did you say? Say it again."
Jian Yixin said: "A gift for my daughter-in-law. How old are you that your ears are already failing? Go get them treated quickly, lest I look down on you later."
"Hahaha, I'll go back to get the Jade Bracelet and bring you some clothes while I'm at it." Sheng Zerong went out happily.
He had thought as much; clothes could be bought at any mall, so why insist on him going home to get them? It turned out the main point was to get the Jade Bracelet, and she had been too embarrassed to say so, using the excuse of fetching a change of clothes as a cover.
The Jade Bracelet his wife mentioned was passed from her great-great-grandmother to her great-grandmother, from her great-grandmother to her mother, and from her mother to her; it was originally meant to be passed to a daughter, but since Jian Yixin had no daughter, she intended to pass it to her daughter-in-law.
After class, Su Qiangying went straight to the hospital to see her boyfriend.
She pushed open the door to the Hospital Ward and saw Jian Yixin stroking her son's head and calling him Baobao with a pained heart.
"My baby, why are you so prone to misfortune and suffering such great hardship? Mother's heart aches so much..."
Su Qiangying couldn't help but retort: "Mind how you speak; he's so old, yet you still call him Baobao? If outsiders hear it, they'll think Moli is a mama's boy, which will affect his reputation."
"My son hasn't said anything, why are you running your mouth?"
"You've never been a mother, so you don't understand a mother's feelings; no matter how old a child is, they are always a baby in their mother's heart."
Although she said this, she also knew that calling him that wasn't good; she was just being stubborn.
