Chapter 117: As a wife, take good care of him
ce and looked around unhappily. She was just jealous!"When I was pregnant, I often had leg cramps in the middle of the night, so painful that I couldn't sleep. You didn't even care to ask me how I was..."How are you still here I told you not to come back!"
Qiao Baoer sat on a metal chair outside the ward, watching the woman in front of her roar at her aggressively. She suddenly felt helpless and wanted to explain something.
Jiang Meili, as if losing her patience, snarled at the bodyguard beside her, "Get rid of this person immediately."
"...It was Young Master Jun who let her stay..."
The bodyguard looked at the noblewoman, his tone lacking much respect as he told her flatly.
Jiang Meili's face changed drastically upon hearing this, "Zhi Mu woke up"
"My son woke up, why wasn't I notified"
She spoke quickly, with a hint of displeasure. She didn't bother to pay attention to Qiao Baoer at the moment and strode purposefully towards the entrance.
"Madam, you may not enter."
Two bodyguards outside the door, with cold faces, stepped forward to block.
Jiang Meili was furious, “Why can’t I go in My son is inside!”
"Sorry."
The bodyguard responded with two curt words, his tone cold and uncompromising.
Jo Baoer looked at the prospective mother-in-law, who had a black face confronting the bodyguard, and whispered an explanation, "Grandpa said there's something important to discuss with Jun Zhimu..."
"You have no say here!" Jiang Meili said through gritted teeth, turning her head to glare at her.
Qiao Bao'er looked at this noble and elegant mother-in-law, she could only bow her head and choose silence.
She thought Jiang Meili was harder to get along with than Jun Qingya, and it seemed like Jun Zhimu's mother disliked me...
And at that moment, a loud crash echoed from within the room.
Because the heavy door was shut tight, she couldn't hear what was going on inside, but she could faintly guess that Old Master Jun was angry.
"If it weren't for this accident, how much longer were you going to keep this from me!"
"Master, you must explain this to me clearly!!"
The elderly man in the ward wore a sullen expression, his right hand tightly gripping his cane, his whole body trembling with anger.
"Grandpa, please calm down. Zhi Mu just woke up, his body is still very weak. Let's ask him later..."
Lu Qinian stood beside the elder, seeing the two generations arguing heatedly, and immediately nervously interjected.
But the man on the bed remained unrepentant, coldly tossing out, "What difference does it make to you"
Now, Old Master Jun was furious. If not for the fact that he had just woken up and was weak, he would have rushed over and smashed this unfilial grandson with his cane.
"Lord of the Flock, you really think you can solve anything You don't even consider me anymore! Do you think I won't settle this score!"
Jun Zhi's mu remained lying flat in the bed, his face pale and weak. He glanced at the old man burning with rage at the foot of the bed, a thought flickering in his eyes.
He seemed a bit tired, slowly closing his eyes. “You know, it doesn't matter.” His voice was flat, and he murmured the last sentence softly.
Even if he didn't hide it from them, they wouldn't be able to help.
The old man's face was a complex mixture of oppression and anxiety, he stared hard at him for a long while.
Suddenly, Master Jun turned around and walked out with heavy steps.
Lu Qinan worried that the old man's emotions would affect his health, so he immediately followed him out. However, as he left, he couldn't help but glance at the hospital bed, his mood somewhat heavy.
Jun Zhi Mu's right, even if they knew from the start, it wouldn't have mattered...
"Grandpa, Zhimu just doesn't want you to worry about him."
Lu Qinan was beside the elderly person, gently twisting the doorknob, and whispered a word of comfort.
Mr. Jun's face was ashen, his brow furrowed deeply. The door creaked open, and they stepped out. Jiang Meili and Qiao Baier simultaneously looked up at them.
Filled with doubts, but not daring to ask.
"Dad, what's wrong with ZhiMu What are you talking about..." Jiang Meili couldn't hold back her worry. She stood up from the metal chair beside them and asked nervously.
However, the old man ignored her and instead turned his gaze to Qiao Bao'er with a complex expression.
Qiao Bao'er was being scrutinized by him, her heart fluttered with unease. For a moment, she didn't know whether to stand up or sit still and wait for his words.
"...Take good care of him."
Master Jun's voice, aged and hoarse, choked with emotion as he gave Qiao Baoer instructions. He didn't say anything more, just turned and walked towards the elevator.
Joe Ba'er's eyes widened slightly as she watched the old man leave.
She didn't quite understand what the old man meant by "take good care of him" just now.
But even though Lord Jun was always strong and healthy, his dignified figure and back seemed to have aged suddenly.
"Aunt, Zhi Mu just woke up, he needs to rest…" Lu Qinan looked towards Jiang Meili and spoke with a hint of meaning.
Jiang Mei's face was not looking good. This was clearly a way of preventing her from entering the ward.
"He wasn't quite willing to give up, "There's still a need for someone to look after him..."
"Grandpa also just said that Qiao Baoer should go busy herself. Since Zhi Mu is married now, your mother-in-law doesn't have to worry." Lu Qinan replied calmly with a nonchalant expression.
Qiao Baoer looked at Lu Qinan strangely. This was a bit odd. Although Lu Qinan, the playboy, had many girlfriends, he always respected his elders. Now, looking at how he spoke to Jiang Meili, his tone was cold and indifferent.
"Go in already."
Lu Qinan, as he passed Qiao Bao'er, lowered his voice and urged her.
Jo Bao'er seemed a bit out of touch, while Jiang Meili beside her looked angrily resentful. She watched as she hesitated and walked in.
The man in the bed has closed his eyes and is resting.
She stood by the bed, glanced at the IV drip on the rack that still had half left, didn't dare to speak and wake him. Carefully, she pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed, silently staring at the bottle of IV fluid hanging above her head.
The ward was eerily quiet. The heavy door had been closed, leaving only her and him inside.
Jo Bao'er looked at the man on the hospital bed. She knew he wasn't asleep. His face was a little pale, his brows furrowed as if he were thinking about something. He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to ask a question, but hesitated and fell silent.
Just now, Grandpa was talking to Junshi. She asked him something, and he may not have said anything, but she had a bad feeling about it.
Because she noticed a tiny dent on the metal frame of the bed, it seemed that Grandpa had really been angry just now. It must have been caused by his cane.
"Me, me, did I wake you"
She saw that the IV was almost finished, so she stood up to change to another bottle. Just as she had finished changing the new IV fluid, she looked down and met his eyes, which were open and staring directly at her.
Junzhi Mu did not speak immediately.
His pupils were deep and clear. He hadn't actually slept just now, he had just closed his eyes to be alone in silence for a while.
"Do you feel unwell anywhere Would you like to see a doctor"
Qiao Bao'er felt a little awkward under his gaze, and after thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Do you want to drink some water or have something to eat"
Asking these questions, Qiao Baoer also felt a little foolish, but she really didn't know what she could do for him.
He remained silent, and Qiao Bao'er's expression grew increasingly embarrassed. "If you find me bothersome and want me to leave, I can wait outside," she said.
Perhaps the pain was caused by his injuries. Jun Zhi Mu gasped slightly and suddenly spoke in a low voice, “If I wanted you to leave, you wouldn’t be here...” down to the restaurant for a meal when she suddenly saw Mr. Xia, the general manager. It was truly a surprise!She walked past them with a tight expression on her face the whole time. Xia Chuixue nat...
