Chapter 108 Plot
"Mom, I met her when I was playing in the neighborhood today. I heard she's a new resident."
When Jiang Ji talked about this, there was a clear sense of pleasure in his eyes.
With a hint of excitement, he introduced the little girl next to him.
The girl was slightly shorter than her. It was still cold, and she was wearing a red jacket, black pants, and little boots. She also had a cute bunny hat on her head.
She has fair skin and a pair of big, bright eyes that look clean and pure, and you can see right through them.
"What's the little girl's name?"
Jiang Zhuhua didn't actually know the girl's name, at least not now. He just felt a slight fondness for her because of her clean appearance.
Who wouldn't like a clean and lovely girl?
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Su Lin. I just moved here recently."
The little girl's voice was soft and cute when she spoke, and her eyes were always smiling.
Jiang Zhuhua stared into those eyes, momentarily momentarily stunned. The name was all too familiar; he'd silently repeated it countless times in his mind, knowing he had to avoid it.
"Okay. An'an, you play here with her for a while. Mommy has some things to do."
I've already tried my best to avoid this person, so why does this person still appear in front of me?
Jiang Zhuhua's face turned somewhat pale for a moment, and even his lips were a little white.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ji had never seen her mother so vulnerable before; her face was frighteningly pale. For a moment, she was in no mood to play with her new friends.
"Excuse me. My mother isn't feeling well. You should go now."
Jiang Ji's voice was stiff as he opened the door and shooed the young girl outside.
Su Lin wasn't angry, but her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Auntie looks terrible. Do you want to call the hospital and have her get checked out?"
Things felt out of control. Jiang Zhuhua kept watching the girl, but the sharp-tongued and mean-spirited scene he had imagined did not occur, nor did she appear to be the innocent and naive girl he had imagined.
It was just pure and sincere concern.
Jiang Zhuhua found it hard to describe what he felt at that moment. He even felt that he was somewhat flustered and just wanted to escape, unwilling to think about anything.
Everything seemed to suddenly slip out of my control, as if some thread of fate was pulling me along.
This strong sixth sense made her feel flustered, and she didn't even feel like emphasizing politeness.
"I know."
Jiang Ji couldn't care less about his companions and could only see them out. Fortunately, the girl didn't linger; after offering a few words of concern, she left on her own.
"Mom, I'm going to call the hospital."
Jiang Ji's hands were trembling slightly as he kept talking, taking out his phone and trying his best to operate it.
The main reason was that his mother's complexion was so terrible that it made him feel panicked from the bottom of his heart.
She was so vulnerable that she felt like she might leave him at any moment.
"No, it's just a little trouble."
How could Jiang Zhuhua not know what was going on? She was definitely not feeling unwell; she simply couldn't believe the plot that had been forcibly pieced together.
In the original storyline, Jiang Ji and Su Lin were childhood sweethearts for a period of time. Jiang Zhuhua had tried his best to avoid the kindergarten where the female lead attended, and even avoided her family's business, including changing his name, all to avoid repeating the same plot.
But I still encountered it! Why did I encounter it?
Jiang Zhuhua felt like he was about to get stuck in a dead end. A huge sense of crisis and an indescribable fear spread throughout his mind and body.
"You absolutely must go to the hospital!"
Jiang Ji was particularly insistent on this matter, mainly because his mother's expression was so terrible, frighteningly so.
She simply held out a mirror with her little hands, without saying a word, and let her see for herself.
Jiang Zhuhua then realized just how terrible her complexion looked, and why Jiang Ji was so insistent on her going to the hospital.
"It's alright. Could you pour me a glass of hot water?"
Jiang Zhuhua could only hastily send the person away, and while his son went to get water, he hurriedly sent a message.
Su Lin has appeared.
Besides that, she really needs someone to be with her right now. She doesn't need to do anything; just having someone by her side is enough.
Huo Wang, come find me and stay with me. I need you.
Jiang Zhuhua wasn't in the mood for embellishment and bluntly stated her needs. No matter where she was, she felt insecure.
There was even a tremendous sense of panic, as if they were being spied on.
Huo Wang was turning someone else's car wheel when he heard the special ringtone. He immediately snapped out of his reverie, ignoring the dirt on his hands, and turned on his phone.
Upon seeing this, he immediately handed the wrench in his hand to the person next to him.
"You come and fix his car, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After Huo Wang finished speaking, he hurriedly took off his gloves, picked up his coat, and walked outside.
In a few quick steps, I hopped on the electric scooter, turned the handlebars, and sped off.
The repairman holding the wrench looked at the wrench in his hand, then at the boss who turned and ran away, and could only resign himself to continuing the repair.
Huo Wang knew the password here; Jiang Zhuhua had told him, so he went directly to the door.
Jiang Zhuhua didn't want to move at all. He sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a cup in his hand and covered with a blanket that Jiang Ji had brought him.
Jiang Ji didn't even touch her phone or watch TV, obediently staying by Jiang Zhuhua's side.
The two of them sitting together felt like they depended on each other for survival. The room was exceptionally warm, and the environment had become increasingly cozy as the traces of life had deepened.
But when the two of them sat there, it was as if they were sitting on a lone boat in the sea.
"what happened?"
Huo Wang felt a sudden tightness in his chest. What had happened? Why did the two of them look so serious?
My mind raced through everything, but I couldn't find the reason. I could only leave now and try my best to remain calm.
Jiang Zhuhua's face looked really bad. Huo Wang had never seen the other party so out of control, so he needed to remain calm.
Silence, a deathly silence. Jiang Zhuhua didn't speak, but simply reached out and wrapped his arms around the other person's waist, burying his face in their chest.
It was as if they had found a lifeline and a source of support.
There was no explanation, only silence. And an embrace that seemed to want to meld you into my body.
"An'an, your mother is a little tired. I'll take her to rest. I'll watch over her. I'll tell you if anything is wrong, okay?"
Jiang Zhuhua gently brushed his waist with his fingers, and Huo Wang understood what he meant. He tried to soften his voice and told An An to go back to her room.
"What do you want to talk about? Can't I know?"
Jiang Ji felt increasingly terrified as she stared intently at the two people, her mind filled with all sorts of melodramatic plots from TV dramas.
Is Mommy sick?
Jiang Ji's face drained of color, even revealing a hint of despair. His mind raced, conjuring up all sorts of terminal illnesses. Usually, when something like this happens, don't the adults in the family keep it a secret from the children?
