Qiao Mu had completely given up on Zhou Jieru. Her voice was cold and emotionless. â Madam Zhou, my father will be fine. Donât curse him! â Please donât contact me in the future. Whether Iâm good or bad has nothing to do with you!â
âQiao Mu, you donât know how to be grateful. I gave birth to you, raised you until you were five, and sent you to the Qiao family to live a good life. Even if thereâs no credit, thereâs hard work. The last time I saw you with Yu Tingyunâs cousin, I found out that the man is the CEO of LSAG Group. Heâs very rich. I was afraid of disturbing your development with him, so I didnât contact you. I thought that you would think of me when you were rich, but you â¦â
Qiao Mu couldnât bear to listen to the rowdy voice on the other end of the phone any longer, so she hung up immediately.
Was this woman really her mother? Why was there such a mother in this world who did not care about her child at all!
Sure enough, her father was right. Zhou Jieru was greedy and had a bad nature. Her father was right to forbid them from interacting!
After so many years, she still dreamed of getting motherly love and satisfying Zhou Jieruâs greed again and again!
Before she could put her phone away, it rang again. Qiao Mu answered impatiently, ââWhat do you want? Donât call me again!â
There was no sound from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Mu was stunned. She glanced at the caller ID, and her anger instantly vanished.
Immediately after, the manâs low and light voice sounded from the other end of the phone.âWho are you angry with? Why are you transferring your anger to me?â
Qiao Mu coughed lightly. â Uncle, I didnât do it on purpose. I didnât see that it was you. â
Li Yan did not ask further. â Iâve been guarding the hospital all day. What time will I be back tonight? â he asked calmly. What do you want to eat? Iâll get the kitchen to prepare it.
âI just left the hospital and was about to head back.â Give me five minutes. Iâm nearby. Iâll pick you up. â
âAlright.â Qiao Mu answered and hung up.
soon, tne car stopped DY tne roadside, and (Liao mu got ln.
The chauffeur in front was driving, and Li Yan was sitting in the back. Qiao Mu had just gotten into the car when his slender arms pulled her into his embrace. Qiao Mu struggled slightly, not caring about the chauffeurâs feelings at all.
However, Qiao Muâs struggle was futile, and she could only lean against his chest.
âUncle, are your injuries better? Iâve been in the hospital recently and havenât checked on your injuries.â
âHavenât you already verified it? Why, do you want to verify it again?â The manâs words were light and carried a hint of provocation.
When Qiao Mu recalled how a certain man went into battle one night with a valiant aura despite his injuries, her face instantly turned red.
Could he not be so indecent? He could bring the topic to another level with just a few words.
Li Yan saw that the little womanâs tense nerves had relaxed. The corners of his mouth curled up as he asked in a low voice, âWho called you just now and annoyed you?â
Qiao Mu lowered her head, her fingers playing with the corner of his clothes. Her emotions were clearly a little lower. â Itâs my mother. â
âShe heard that my father was hospitalized, so she thought that I would be able to get a share of the inheritance so that she could benefit. Uncle, why is my mother such a person? Itâs fine if sheâs greedy, but sheâs treated me as a money-making tool since I was young. At first, she asked my father for child support, but then she sold me to my father. Sheâs my mother and has never liked me.. â
