"She must have been eavesdropping outside the door just now!" Meng Nianchu said angrily.
Last time when she overheard her conversation with Mu Junze, she thought this person was a good one, just a bit strange.
Now that the truth is clear, there's no need to save face for her.
"Alas, I wonder what bad tricks she's up to but hasn't had a chance to play out yet."
Father Meng sighed.
Seeing her father like this, Meng Nianchu quickly stepped forward to comfort him. "It's okay, Dad. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune later."
As she said this, Meng Nianchu patted her father on the back.
"Yeah, those who survive a great disaster will surely have another one."
"Uh, Dad, how can you say that?"
Meng Nianchu was a bit speechless. How could such a good saying sound so strange coming from her father's mouth?
But after saying this, she looked around at the people lying in this ward. Almost all of them were her closest relatives. It even made her sigh. Was it really true that "those who survive a great disaster will surely have another one"?
"Sir, don't say such discouraging words." The flat - haired man quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Look, you're getting better now. The bad guys didn't succeed. You can talk now. In a short while, you'll be able to be discharged from the hospital. After that, you'll still have to take care of everything in the family."
The flat - haired man glanced at Meng Nianchu and then continued.
"Look, Miss Meng is so delicate and pregnant. She can't take care of two people alone. How could you bear to let her do all the work by herself? Also, I heard that the Meng Group is not in a good situation now. It needs you to go back and take charge."
Father Meng thought what this young man said made sense. He couldn't help but sigh that the young people nowadays were really amazing.
"Of course, the most important thing is that you have to live well so that you can piss off those who want you dead. For example..." The flat - haired man dragged out the word but didn't say anything more. He just smiled. "Hehe, right?"
Hearing this, Father Meng suddenly agreed whole - heartedly.
One of the main reasons the Meng Group was built from scratch was that Father Meng firmly believed in the idea that as long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood.
As long as people are still alive, everything can start over.
Now there are injured people in the family and enemies are eyeing them covetously from outside. He is truly the protector of everyone now.
Father Meng thought for a while and then nodded.
He gathered his spirits again. The most important thing now was to get examined first and cooperate with the doctor so that he could recover and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
Meng Nianchu was also shocked. This ordinary - looking flat - haired man was so eloquent. With just a few words, he had convinced her father.
He must be a man who hides his true abilities.
"Yes, Dad, get better quickly. Now that you can talk, we'll go and call the police later and arrest that Aunt Sun."
After hearing her father's description of what happened that day, Meng Nianchu hated Aunt Sun to the core.
She actually wanted to harm her father. This was absolutely unforgivable.
Father Meng had the same thought. But what made him even more sad was Meng Rong. No, she should be called Linda now.
He never expected that she would ignore so many years of affection and try to kill him and his family. She was simply inhumane.
The more Meng Nianchu thought about it, the angrier she got. She said to her father, "Dad, you rest here for a while. When the doctor comes and asks to examine you, cooperate well. I'll go out for a while and be back soon."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll stay here with your mom."
After saying that, Father Meng sat down beside his wife and looked at her sleeping face.
"For so many years, you're still so beautiful and don't look old at all. In the blink of an eye, our daughter has grown up. It's really hard to believe."
As he said this, Father Meng gently stroked his wife's face.
Meng Nianchu was still confused about one thing. She had known Aunt Sun for a long time, and she didn't seem like this kind of person. Was it for money? Or did she have other hidden reasons?
She decided to go and ask Aunt Sun for clarification.
She left the ward and headed for the place where the nurses' aides rested.
The hospital corridors were always crowded with people, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.
Indeed, life and death were enough to make the living anxious.
Meng Nianchu soon reached the nurses' aides' resting place. She opened the door and found that Aunt Sun wasn't there.
"Strange. Where is she?"
"I don't know. Where's Aunt Sun? Have you seen her?"
"No. Isn't she supposed to take care of Mr. Meng today?"
A few nurses' aides were chatting as they walked towards the lounge.
"Hey, girl. Who are you looking for?"
A middle - aged woman wearing a white hat saw Meng Nianchu standing at the door of the lounge and asked curiously.
"Hello," Meng Nianchu greeted politely. "I'm looking for Aunt Sun. Is she here?"
"What a coincidence. We haven't seen her either. We were looking for her."
The others all shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't seen her.
Meng Nianchu thought that Aunt Sun was clearly outside the ward just now. If she had walked a bit faster, she could have caught her and asked for clarification.
At this time, a slightly plump nurses' aide walked slowly towards the lounge, holding her stomach.
"Hey, Aunt Li. What's wrong with you?"
"Alas, I guess I ate the leftovers from yesterday at noon. They were spoiled, and now I've got a stomachache. Ouch..."
"You're getting old. You don't have to be so thrifty. You're not short of money."
"I'm just used to living a hard life for so many years. By the way, what are you guys doing here at the door?"
"We were just going to ask Aunt Sun to go for dinner with us, but we couldn't find her. So we came back to get our lunch boxes first."
"Aunt Sun? She said something happened at home and she had to go back."
"What? Aunt Li, have you seen her? Don't talk nonsense."
"I saw her. Just now when I came back for toilet paper because of my stomachache, I ran into her as soon as I went out. She was in such a hurry that she almost bumped into me. If I hadn't dodged, I really would have peed my pants..."
"And then?"
"Then I asked her, 'What are you in such a hurry for?' She was so anxious that she didn't even look at me. I could see she was sweating all over her forehead. She said, 'Something happened at home. I have to go back right away.' I was in such a hurry myself that I didn't ask any more questions and just rushed to the toilet. I just got back."
After she said this, her stomach started growling again.
"Oops, I can't hold it anymore. I have to go..."
After saying that, she turned around and rushed towards the toilet.
Hearing this, Meng Nianchu wanted to go to Aunt Sun's house to find out what was going on. But seeing that it was getting late and the hospital needed people tonight, she decided to go to Aunt Sun's house tomorrow.
Today, she would just stay in the hospital with her father, mother, and Junze.
Meng Nianchu thought to herself and then forced a bitter smile.
She never expected that the way for the family to get together would be so special.
