She pointed at ShuShu and said, "I say, ShuShu, this is a great thing. After all, this is Lingqiao, and if you were to marry him, you would be able to do so. If it wasn't for the fact that my Yaoyao isn't old enough, would you be able to marry him?" "Ai, I'm talking about how this Shu Ning taught her daughter, and how she doesn't know what's good for her …"
Shu Shu glared at her. She didn't want to cause any more trouble, so all the grievances that had been buried in her heart for so many years burst out at once. "You shut up. I'm talking to my dad, why are you interrupting?"
"You, you …" Zhang Lin was stunned. She could never have imagined that the sickly little girl from that year would be so arrogant today.
"I'm not as easy to talk to as my mom. If you respect me, I can also politely call you Aunt Zhang. If you don't respect me, then I don't need to respect you either."
Zhang Lin was a very bullying person. Seeing that she couldn't take advantage of Shu Shu, she started to scold Liu Ziye, "You useless man, hurry up and find a way to collect money for me. I will never allow this house to be used as collateral. My dad left this for me."
Liu Ziye became a punching bag, he still held onto ShuShu's hand and said in a low voice, "ShuShu, if you don't help me, I don't have the money to treat your mom's illness …" If the company didn't have an economic crisis, Dad would be obliged to help you, but now... "Sigh!"
She was different from Zhang Lin, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, while she was the one who was soft and not the one who was hard. She slowed her breathing and lightly said, "Let me think about it …"
Returning to the hospital, the head nurse handed a new medical notice to ShuShu and said sympathetically, "ShuShu, the third one, haven't you got any money yet?"
ShuShu knew this would make things difficult for the nurse, but she still wanted to give it a try. "Sister, can you help my mother with the surgery first? 500 thousand is not a small amount. Can you let me pay in instalments? "Head nurse …"
On the bed, Shu Ning heard the sound and slowly opened her eyes. "Shu Shu …"
"Mom …" "Mom, I won't let anything happen to you."
Shu Ning smiled. The intense pain had already numbed her body completely, and she could not even feel the warmth of her daughter's palm. However, she managed to squeeze out a warm smile. "Mom is fine. Mom won't feel any pain when she sees her daughter …"
Shu Shu bit her lips tightly. She felt her mother's weak hand, strong enough to not let tears fall. Isn't it just a deal? If you marry, then so be it. At the very least, it will allow your mother to undergo surgery, right?
Two days later, Zhang Lin walked into the Ling family's courtyard with Liu Ziye by his arm, dressed in a noble long black silk dress.
Shu Shu was dressed up as well. Her hair was as smooth as a waterfall. The ends of her hair were slightly bent inwards and her bangs covered her forehead. Below her were a pair of watery black eyes.
ShuShu inherited Shuning's beauty. She was dressed in a blue dress. After carefully dressing up, she looked just like a fairy that had barged into the mortal world.
"Dad, my mom is still in the ICU. I want to go to the hospital as soon as possible, it won't take too long, right?"
Zhang Lin turned back and stared at her, warning her, "Damned girl, what your mother! Your mother is me now, so don't expose yourself. Otherwise, I won't pay the next 200,000 nursing fee!"
Come on, I'm not going to take this. ShuShu stopped and said indignantly, "No, I'm leaving now."
Zhang Lin stamped her feet and growled in a low voice, "How dare you …"
Liu Ziye quickly came out to smooth things over, "Stop, stop, this is their place, don't talk too much …" ShuShu, it won't be long before we meet with the elders of the Ling family. They want to hear what you have to say. In a while, you should pay more attention to what you say, what you shouldn't say, what you should say, I think you should understand, please … "
After all, Liu Ziye was her father, and he could always grasp the bottom line of her heart. She helplessly said, "Okay."
He really did not know what they were thinking. Wouldn't it be fine if he just told the Ling family the truth? Why did she have to pretend that she was Zhang Lin's daughter? Was her mother so shameful?
The more Shu Shu thought about it, the more unwilling she became. Fortunately, her mother's operation was very successful, so she didn't mind it much. Furthermore, if his mother were to know that she had married someone in order to help pay for the operation, she would definitely blame herself.
Walking into the Ling family's guest hall, their eyes were filled with splendor and elegance. Twenty servants stood in two rows with a 45 degree bow, welcoming them.
Shu Shu's heart began to thump loudly. Wasn't this too exaggerated? Was she living in a person's house?
The three elders of the Ling family were dressed very formally. After all, this was the first time the two families had met. Ling Wang was still full of energy, and she couldn't tell that she had just been discharged from the hospital. She looked at Shu Shu, "This must be Liu Shu, right?" "Aiyo, her skin is so tender …" As she spoke, Granny Ling pressed her hand against Shu's cheek.
