Chapter 406: Scoundrel

-class university, but its law school wasn't its strongest program. Furthermore, due to financial constraints after graduation, she didn't pursue postgraduate studies and went straight into work. As...Shu Tinglan finished the chicken soup and said, "Thank you, grandma."

It's not right to call her "Teacher Cheng," that sounds too formal. Calling her "Mom" is also out of the question, we haven't reached that level of intimacy. So, it's best for the children to call her "Grandma."

The ward was deathly silent for a moment, with the four people sitting stiffly, staring at each other.

Cheng Zhimin did want to leave, but she was afraid that her son would say she didn't care about Tinglan if she left. So, she put on a stiff face and sat there for at least an hour, fulfilling the proper etiquette.

The nanny next to him couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking to herself, "Ms. Cheng, are you intentionally doing this Haven't you seen how the two of them are inseparable You, like a lightbulb, sitting there is blindingly bright and practically going to blind everyone!"

"Tinglan, from now on, be careful when you walk. This time it was a blessing in disguise that nothing serious happened. If something happened to you, what would the two little ones do"

"Good." Shu Tinglan replied, thinking to herself, "Are you subtly cursing me"

"Mom, Tinglan wants to rest. I'll have the driver send you home. The kids should already be at school. Go pick them up after school this afternoon."

"Okay, okay. Then take good care of Tinglan."

"Hmm." The other person had already walked to the door, looking like they were sending her off, eager for their mother to leave.

Cheng Zhimin also had this intention, wanting to leave early. There was nothing to say to Tinglan.

After sending the people away, Zhuo Yu'an returned to the ward and quietly glanced at her: "Are you still thirsty"

Well, the water drinking segment isn't over yet!

"I'm not thirsty, I just had a big bowl of chicken soup." It was delicious, she forgot what they were doing before drinking the chicken soup, her heart was moved by Cheng Zhimin's kindness, there was no way, she was a soft-hearted person.

"It's good that your mom and aunt are here to look after the kids, otherwise Cui Jie and Fei Fei would be very busy too, it would be embarrassing to take up their time. Besides, the children also miss grandma."

"Well! That's really good."

The doctor came to check on her, and the nurse continued to administer her intravenous fluids, leaving her even more immobile.

Zhuo Yu'an sat beside her on the bed, as if he had been holding back for a long time before he spoke: "How did you get injured this time"

Seeing her again, she wanted to brush it aside vaguely.

He looked stern: "Tinglan, tell me the truth."

"Do I look like a liar"

"Yes," he replied truthfully.

Shu Tinglan knew he couldn't hide it from him, and there was no need to, so he replied: "I was just helping Lao Ding get the competition prize money. The other party spoke harshly, they started pushing each other, I was just caught in the crossfire, it's embarrassing, okay When I saw them about to fight, I was going to step back, but I didn't have time."

She expressed things easily and also hoped he wouldn't mind.

"Is everything settled" he asked calmly.

Shu Tinglan lowered her head, afraid to shake it because she was still dizzy. She only denied it with her eyes, but the issue remained unresolved.

Zhuo Yu'an said incredulously: “So, not only was the problem not solved, but I also got beaten for nothing”

"It's not that easy to resolve! There's also the issue of an athlete getting injured. The medical expenses and future compensation haven't been settled yet. By the way, did the doctor say when I can be discharged" She was genuinely anxious inside. She had so much work left undone, piling up there made her feel stressed.

“Give me the other party’s address!” he asked suddenly, without answering her question.

What

"What's the other guy's address Which club does he belong to" He wouldn't let anyone off easy, no matter who they were. In the Morizaw Prefecture, no one dared to mess with him.

"No, I can handle this myself. This was just an unexpected situation." She knew if he stepped in, it would probably be resolved in a few words, but she didn't want to rely on him for everything. What was the point of her hard work then Maybe she should just give up altogether.

Zhuo Yu'an watched her silently, on one hand hoping she could get her wish and achieve something in her career through hard work, realizing the self-worth she desired. But on the other hand, he couldn't bear to see her struggle and always wanted to help.

"I know you're doing this for my own good, I promise you. If I can't solve it myself, I'll definitely come to you, okay" She pouted at him, and although he knew she was just saying that to appease him, he still agreed.

Her hand was a little cold from the IV, so he placed it beside his lips and rubbed it gently, transferring his warmth to her. The ward was filled with a warm and tender atmosphere, but then a jarring sound broke the silence from outside the room.

"Well, looks like I'm interrupting something."

Li Kuò and Lin Zhīxu were both standing by the door, smiling at them.

"How did the two of you come together" Shutinglan asked curiously.

"Met downstairs." Lin Zhixuan answered casually, coming in and sitting beside her, looking at the bump on her forehead and smiling rather heartlessly.

"Disfigured."

"Hmm."

Lu Kuo also came over and glanced at her: "Sister-in-law, how did you get hurt"

He had also heard about it, and his thoughts were the same as Zhuo Yu'an's. In Senzhou, no one dared to touch their people. He was also itching for a fight and wanted to help her get revenge.

Shu Tinglan just laughed, no wonder they were brothers, that proud look was exactly the same. She dared not ask Lu Kuo for help, otherwise, with his flamboyant personality, she didn't know how much of a commotion he would cause.

Let's skip this topic. Looking at Lin Zhicai, he said, "Zhicai, thank you."

She was referring to helping take care of the children last night.

"It's a small thing! But ShuShu, can you and Mr. Zhu switch shifts tonight I can stay at the hospital with you, and Mr. Zhu can go home with the kids. They are little devils disguised as angels. One more night with them, and I'll be driven mad."

Lin Zhiyao is really afraid of bringing children. She usually likes to play with them like toys, but when she has to take care of them herself, it's torture. Shu Tinglan understands her too well, so he finds it funny to see her like this.

But Zhu Yuyan was petty. She dared to call his treasures demons And she even wanted to usurp his position. Coming to the hospital to visit him, she immediately made him unhappy.

"Miss Lin, don't bother yourself. The children have their grandmother to look after them, and I'm here to take care of Lan." His voice was as cold and indifferent as always.

Lin Zuo was incredulous: "So, I took care of the child for you all night, and you're not only ungrateful but also betray my trust and now want me to leave"

Zhuo Yu'an's silence gave her a definite answer. She was so angry that smoke came out of her seven orifices, and she shouted

"Shushu, look at your man! You call him a dog, and he truly acts like one."

Lu Kuo laughed uncontrollably at the side, Shu Tinglan also smiled. As a result, they laughed too much and ended up being sad. Zhuo Yu'an gave them a cold look.

“Did you call me a dog”

Shutinglan pretended to have a headache and didn't answer.

Lu Kuo answered for her: "Yes, you are indeed a dog."

Lin Zhihao finally showed a hint of smugness: "Look, the eyes of the masses are indeed discerning."

A few people chatted in the ward for a while, Lu Kuo left early because he had something to do. Shu Tinglan asked Zhuo Yu'an and Lin Zhixuan to leave too, she could be alone in the hospital.

Lin Zhixuan: "I haven't scheduled any client consultations these two days, so I have nothing to do. I can stay at the hospital and keep you company."

"Having said that, she turned to Zhuo Yu'an and said, 'Mr. Zhuo, you should go now.'"

Shu Tinglan saw that Zhu Yu'an hadn't slept well last night, so she also advised him to leave.

"It would be nice if you came back and kept me company tonight." persuading people in those villages to testify about the truth from back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made any progress even if I had run countless times.” 。After Shu Tinglan finished speaking,...
