Ling Qiao looked at her and saw that her tears were still flowing down his face and down his temples and into her hair. His heart ached so much that he could deeply feel her pain.

"Hubby …" Suddenly, ShuShu opened her mouth and called out to him in a pleading tone, "Before you say anything to me, please go see my mother. As a son-in-law, the doctor said that she has only these two days left."

"What do I want to say to you?"

Shu Shu pursed her lips into a smile, she didn't want to say anything. If her words were exposed now, what would she bring back in return?

Ling Qiao could feel that there was a hidden meaning behind her words, "Shu Shu, you misunderstood me and Tang Daqing, it's true!" She also told me not to believe the rumours and to communicate with you. She is a very kind friend, we grew up together, I know her. "

Shu Shu closed her eyes. She didn't want Ling Qiao to say anything good about Tang and Qing, so arguing about it was meaningless to her. There was nothing she could do to change what he had decided.

After resting for a while, the medicine in the bottle slowly flowed into her body.

Ling Qiao gently nudged her, "It's about time, do you want to go to the intensive care unit?"

"I want to …"

After Shu Shu put on her clothes, even if she didn't have any mental energy left, she still wanted to see her mother as if nothing had happened.

"Eat some medicine first, it can't get any worse." Ling Qiao carried water and pills.

Shu Shu looked at Ling Qiao. He was so haggard, the stubble on his chin was already very long, and his eyes were bloodshot. However, his handsome face had a decadent and melancholy aura, causing her to be enchanted.

She really didn't want to lose such an outstanding husband …

"What's wrong?" Ling Qiao urged, "Quickly take some medicine and sit down for a while after you're done. I need to wash my face and tidy myself up before going to see your mother."

He thought about it carefully. "Alright."

The two of them came to the ICU wearing sterile clothes masks. They walked through the front of the bed. The patients on the bed had tubes and instruments to monitor their lives.

Walking to the innermost room, Shu Shu saw her mother. She was fine, there were no tubes or apparatus at all. It was as if she was sleeping.

"Mom …" "Mom," she whispered, her voice trembling. She made a little more noise, afraid that she would never wake up.

Shu Ning opened her eyes slightly and saw Shu Shu. She stretched out her hand to touch Shu Shu's face, but she could no longer see Shu Shu's face.

"Mom, are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? " As she spoke, her tears fell. She just couldn't hold it in.

"Shu..." "Shu …" Shu Ning was already struggling with her strength. "Mom, I want to meet him …"

She knew that her mother would not blame her for lying. Her mother would want to see her husband.

She looked back at Ling Qiao. Ling Qiao walked up to her and hugged his arm, saying, "Mom, he's Ling Qiao. He's so handsome, isn't he?"

Shu Ning's hand was trembling. Ling Qiao hurriedly held her hand, "Mom, I'm Shu Shu's husband. I came to see you so late. I'm in the wrong, I'm really sorry."

Feeling something on her hand, Shu Ning seemed to see the golden ring on Ling Qiao's hand. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile as she struggled to say, "Ling Qiao … My daughter didn't lie to you on purpose, she was … It's all for me... Don't blame her. "

"I know, I won't blame her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to see you today."

"Then I …" "Then I'll leave my daughter to you. You have to treat her well …"

"I will …" Ling Qiao's other hand pulled Shu Shu into her embrace as she covered her mouth with all her might. "I love her. I won't let her suffer even a little bit."

Tears streamed down from the corners of Shu Ning's eyes. At the end of her life, the most important thing was her daughter's happiness.

She let go of Ling Qiao's hand and took off the gold ring on his finger. It had been there for more than 20 years, so it was difficult to take off. "Take it down."

Shu Shu shook her head. "Mom, you should wear it. You've been wearing it for your entire life …"

"Be good and help mom get it down."

Shushu took her mother's hand. Her hand was as dry as bark and as cold as ice. She was only forty-five years old. How could she just leave like that?

The ring was actually easy to take down, and her mother had lost a lot of weight. It was just that she didn't have the strength to take it.

Shu Ning smiled. "Take it, leave a memento …"

"I don't want it, Mom. I want you to be fine. Please, don't leave me behind."

"Life and death are intertwined. My life is more than enough …" Ling Qiao, this pair of rings, is the engagement ring between me and Shu Shu's father back then. It's a pity that we weren't able to get together … When her father left, he gave the ring to ShuShu. She had always been a treasure, saying that she would give it to her husband in the future … "I saw you wearing it, and I knew how important you were to her."

Shu Shu covered her mouth, not allowing herself to cry out loud. It turned out that her mother had always known of this secret.

Ling Qiao looked at the ring on his finger, and thought back to the scene of him wearing it comfortably on the day of their wedding. At that time, although he was angry, when he thought back to it now, it was actually so sweet. He vowed, "Mom, she is a very important person to me. I will definitely protect her."

Seeing Ling Qiao's sincere expression, Shu Ning nodded her head in satisfaction.

Shu Shu silently watched and listened. If what Ling Qiao had said was an act, then his acting skills were truly too great. If it wasn't an act, then how could Tang Thirty-Six explain the words he had said?! She stared at Ling Qiao in a daze, wishing he could stop this moment. There was a mother and a lover. She would be the happiest person in the world.

The hourglass of time did not stop for a moment. Shu Ning exhaled her last breath and finally lowered her hand.

"Mom …" Shushu knelt beside her mother's bed and held her. He shook her and called out to her, but she would never wake up again.

Ling Qiao continued to hold onto Shu Shu's waist, not letting her fall. He couldn't help but share the pain of parting with her, so he could only accompany her and support her.

As she entered the house, Shu Shu carefully held the bag in her hands. She softly said, "You can sit as you wish."

Ling Qiao nodded his head and looked around in the blink of an eye. It was a simple decorations, ordinary furnishings, the curtains were already somewhat yellow. However, the tea table on the table was spotless and very clean. This was where Shu Shu grew up at. There were some small graffiti on the wall, red flowers and green leaves, and some photos on the counter. There were also pictures of mother and daughter as well as pictures of Shu as a child.

He didn't understand her past at all, but so what? What he wanted was her future, so why should he care about her past? Moreover, her past was not her fault. If Liu Ziye hadn't abandoned them, wouldn't it be a right and a right thing to do with her?

ShuShu slowly opened the bag. Inside was a photo of Shuning, which she had prepared beforehand.

ShuShu looked through all the photos in the house and found the one with the best smile from her mother. She took it to a studio at the side of the district to make a picture as a last resort. She didn't expect the owner of the studio to tell her that Shuning had been here a long time ago and had even prepared a picture as a last resort.

It was the same picture she had chosen.

Shushu held the photo of her mother in her hands and cried as she looked at it. Her tears dripped onto the surface of the mirror as she tried to wipe them away, but she didn't want them to get any blurrier. She also wiped them with a tissue and wiped them carefully.

Ling Qiao walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, but was unable to find any ingredients. "Shu Shu, there's nothing to eat at home. I'll go buy some dishes."

"Oh."

Ling Qiao glanced at her. His pale face and swollen eyes were completely different from the spirited and spirited look from before. He sighed and silently walked out.

As he drove to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries, his phone suddenly rang. It was Tang Beiqing, but he didn't really want to answer it. He could guess why she wanted to find him.

"Hey, Joe, the doctor suggested I have an operation. I'm a little scared. Can you come over and stay with me?" She had suffered a second fracture. If she wanted to stand up and walk normally, she would have to undergo several surgeries.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a mobile phone, Ling Qiao frowned slightly as he politely refused, "I'm at Shu Shu's house. Her mother just passed away, so I can't leave."

Tang Congqing didn't press him any further upon hearing this. "Fine then. Take good care of her and help me greet her." She knew him well enough to know when to let go and when to tighten.

"Yes." After hanging up, Ling Qiao continued to drive forward.

Tang Congee lay on her bed. The warm sunlight shone into the ward, but it couldn't reach her dark heart.

"Miss Tang, please make a decision as soon as possible. You are currently at a critical period in the growth of your bones. If you miss this critical period and you want to undergo surgery again, it would be equivalent to having your bones fractured three times. If you don't use this surgery, it will seriously affect your future progress. "

Tang Thirty-Six bitterly smiled, picked up his pen, and signed the consent letter.

Someone came into the ward. It was Hu Xin.

"Qingqing, how are you?" Hu Xin brought over a thermos cup.

"Auntie, why are you here? I'm much better now, but I still need to undergo a ligamentous recovery operation."

"It's been hard on you, child. You have to bear this pain. "Here, auntie made you a bone soup to drink while it's still warm." She poured out a bowl and handed it to her. "This has been my work all morning."

Tang Congee smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"No thanks, no thanks. Ever since you were young, I have treated you as my daughter. Your wounds, aunty's heart ached for you as well."

Tang Congee Qing drank her bone soup and said with concern, "Auntie, your complexion seems to be not very good. Did you not rest well?"

Hu Xin sighed, "Sigh, all of these things happened in the past few days, how could I sleep here? There are reporters visiting every day at home, if I don't go out, they won't leave. My car was almost stuck in the traffic when I came out today."

"How could this be?"

"Isn't it all because of that Shu Shu's incident? "If you don't come out and give me an explanation, I don't think she will even have the face to stand out and admit that she is a top student. Pfft, an illegitimate daughter wants to climb up a tree and become a phoenix. She wants to be beautiful!"

The more Hu Xin spoke, the angrier he got. He complained at home and still needed to look at his mother-in-law's face. Her mother-in-law didn't trust this granddaughter-in-law as much, but she still wouldn't let anyone in the family comment on this. At home, Hu Xin didn't dare to say too much.

I don't know what kind of sin we, Ling Qiao, have in our previous lives, in this life, will offend this woman. At the time, I was opposed to this marriage, but the old woman insisted on it, and even used Ling Bai's inheritance right to talk about it.
