Xiao Yunyun devoted herself to chatting with Shen Yuechuan in the group. After a while, she noticed that Su Jian’an hadn’t spoken since she got in the car. She clutched her phone and seemed to be deep in thought.
She sent a series of question marks to Shen Yuechuan and said, “Cousin is silent. What is she thinking about?”
Shen Yuechuan quickly replied, “I don’t know. After all, I am not Lu Boyan, who is henpecked and can read his wife’s mind.”
Xiao Yunyun, “…”
Shen Yuechuan reminded her, “Jian’an is right next to you. Why don’t you just ask Su Jian’an directly?”
Xiao Yunyun looked at Su Jian’an. At the same time, Su Jian’an’s mobile phone rang after receiving a message.
It was the ringtone exclusively for Lu Boyan’s message.
Almost subconsciously, Su Jian’an unlocked the screen to read Lu Boyan’s message.
Lu Boyan simply said, “I don’t have to eat out tonight, so I’ll eat with you and Mom.”
Su Jian’an smiled and typed a few words: “Okay, I’ll make your favorite poached spicy pork slices.” Then, she clicked and sent it.
Not long after that, Su Jian’an and Xiao Yunyun returned to the private hospital.
Su Jian’an did not mention that she had met Han Ruoxi. She washed some fruits for Tang Yulan, and then she took the other things to the suite on the top floor and began to make dinner.
There were five people in total, so she made six dishes and one soup, including poached spicy pork slices and steamed fish, which were both Lu Boyan’s favorite dishes.
Of course, Tang Yulan was the one who needed the most special care.
Tang Yulan was injured, so she would not have much of an appetite. Su Jian’an specially made a small pot of light lean pork congee for her.
Right on the dot at six o’clock, Lu Boyan arrived at the hospital after work and pushed Tang Yulan upstairs with Shen Yuechuan.
Su Jian’an poured a glass of warm water for Tang Yulan. “Mom, would you like dishes or congee?”
“I have a poor appetite. I’ll have some congee,” Tang Yulan smiled faintly. She was still easygoing and kind.
“Okay.” Su Jian’an filled most of the bowl with congee, put it in front of Tang Yulan, and reminded her, “It’s freshly cooked. Be careful, it’s hot.”
Maybe others did not know, but Lu Boyan could tell at a glance that Su Jian’an specially made this pot of congee for Tang Yulan.
Lu Boyan’s eyes softened a little when he looked at Su Jian’an. He helped her pull out the chair and then sat down beside her.
After he picked up his chopsticks, Lu Boyan would always put the dishes that Su Jian’an liked on her small plate first.
Su Jian’an smiled, “Thank you.”
Shen Yuechuan suddenly wanted to follow suit. He glanced at Xiao Yunyun. However his little greedy cat had been eating happily for quite some time, and there was no need for him to follow suit at all.
“That’s good. It’s easy to take care of her.”
They had a pleasant meal.
After the meal, Tang Yulan urged Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an to go back, because she was worried about Xiyu and Xiangyi.
Su Jian’an checked the messages in the group chat. Probably when they were eating, Luo Xiaoxi sent a message and reported that Xiyu and Xiangyi had fallen asleep after eating, and she also sent a photo of the two babies sleeping soundly.
Su Jian’an showed Tang Yulan the photo. “Mom, look, Xiyu and Xiangyi are very obedient.”
Tang Yulan hadn’t seen the two babies for a long time. She looked eagerly at their photo. They were indeed obedient, and she couldn’t help smiling with relief.
Su Jian’an pushed Tang Yulan’s wheelchair and said, “Mom, I’ll take you downstairs.” Then, she looked back at Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan could guess what Su Jian’an was going to do and gave her a knowing look. “I’ll wait for you here.”
Back in Tang Yulan’s suite, Su Jian’an said, “Mom, I’ll help you take a shower.”
Tang Yulan attached great importance to her image.
In Su Jian’an’s memory, even when Tang Yulan was hiding in her grandmother’s old house, she would dress herself up carefully and make herself clean and decent.
Lu Boyan’s mysophobia was probably inherited from Tang Yulan.
In the past few days in the Kang family home, apart from the physical torture, the most unbearable thing for Tang Yulan was probably that she was dirty and sloppy.
Now, she was finally back, but she was injured, so it was not convenient for her to take a shower at all.
Therefore, Su Jian’an offered to help her take a shower.
Tang Yulan quickly waved her hand. “Jian’an, I’m already very happy that you’re willing to help me. But there are plenty of nurses here, and I won’t trouble you with this kind of thing.”
Su Jian’an knew the old lady too well. She was absolutely too shy to ask the nurse for help. However, she also could not bear to be dirty.
If she really left Tang Yulan alone here like this, the old lady would definitely have difficulty washing herself in the bathroom, and she might even get injured.
“I’m worried,” Su Jian’an said, “so let me help you.”
“Jian’an…” Tang Yulan still wanted to refuse.
“Mom, when Boyan was very young, it was you who helped him take a shower,” Su Jian’an said, “and now that you’ve grown old, it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient for you to take a shower. But Boyan can’t help you, and the nurses are not careful enough, so I am the best candidate!
“In the future, I’ll take care of you just like the way you took care of Lu Boyan when he was young!”
Su Jian’an did this not only because she wanted to, but also because she wanted Lu Boyan to have peace of mind when he went to work.
She had just begun to get involved in the business, and she was not able to help Lu Boyan too much.
However, she could take care of their family!
After Su Jian’an helped Tang Yulan take a shower, her sleeves were somewhat wet and her wrists got cold, but she did not bother too much about it. She twisted the sleeves to wring out the water and sent a message to Lu Boyan who was downstairs.
When Lu Boyan entered the door, he was in a call, his mobile phone in his hand. It seemed that he was giving orders to his subordinates. He asked, “Is there anything else you are not clear about?”
Probably getting a negative answer, Lu Boyan hung up the phone.
Su Jian’an helped tidy up Tang Yulan’s hair. Although the old lady was still lying on the hospital bed, she looked refreshed. Seeing Lu Boyan coming in, she urged, “Hurry and take Jian’an back. It’s getting late.”
“OK.”
Lu Boyan gave a few words of advice to the nurse next to him and then left with Su Jian’an.
The couple walked hand in hand along the corridor. They looked very intimate.
After entering the elevator, Su Jian’an asked, “Did you hear the voice messages sent by Yunyun in the group chat?”
“I heard them all,” Lu Boyan said, “and I’m considering whether to change your bodyguards.”
“Why?” Su Jian’an was confused. “They’re very good.”
Lu Boyan did not agree. “They should have noticed that Han Ruoxi was in the mall in advance.”
“Mr. Lu, your requirements are too strict.” Su Jian’an defended the bodyguards. “Han Ruoxi is a free person, and she is not under their control. How would they always know Han Ruoxi’s whereabouts?”
Lu Boyan said coldly, “Based on the salaries I pay them, this requirement is not strict at all.”
Su Jian’an suddenly became curious. “How much is their annual salary?”
“Three million.” After a pause, Lu Boyan added, “Dollars.”
Su Jian’an calculated it in yuan terms and found that the annual salary of those bodyguards was many times more than that of her salary when she worked at the police station.
She stared at Lu Boyan with her bright eyes. “Honey, do you still need bodyguards?”
Lu Boyan poked Su Jian’an’s forehead. “Don’t look at me like that. Even if I need bodyguards, you’re not wanted. Being Mrs. Lu, your annual salary is much higher than that of the bodyguards.”
“My annual salary?” Su Jian’an felt it was a little unfair. “You didn’t even give me a check!”
“You don’t need a check,” Lu Boyan said, “because the money I earn is all yours. Your annual salary… can rank among the top 100 in the whole world.”
There were nearly seven billion people in the world.
“Rank among the top 100 with seven billion people…”
Su Jian’an felt inexplicably guilty and did not dare to think further.
“Did the incident with Han Ruoxi in the mall today affect you?” Lu Boyan suddenly changed the topic.
Su Jian’an shook her head. “No. Speaking of that, I was the one who affected her. After going back, she will definitely think about seeking revenge on me secretly.”
After all, she made Han Ruoxi feel so humiliated this time.
“No,” Lu Boyan said.
Su Jian’an did not understand for a moment. “What do you mean?”
Lu Boyan said calmly, “I just gave an order that from today on, Han Ruoxi is not allowed to step into any Lu Enterprises’ shopping malls.”
Su Jian’an was a little worried. “Will this give rise to any controversy? We operate malls for selling goods and services. Since Han Ruoxi is a customer, is it really good for us to keep Han Ruoxi out? Besides, I don’t often go to the malls.”
Lu Boyan sneered and said firmly and calmly, “Even if it really gives rise to any controversy, the public will still support us.”
At this time, the elevator arrived on the ground floor. Lu Boyan ushered Su Jian’an out, got in the car, and they drove back to the top of the mountain.
Uncle Qian drove fast and very soon they arrived at the door of the small villa.
Su Jian’an rushed into the house as soon as she got out of the car. Aunt Liu saw her and whispered, “Mrs. Lu, Xiangyi and Xiyu are asleep. Mr. Su just came back and took Ms. Luo to the club for dinner.”
Only then did Su Jian’an remember that Luo Xiaoxi had just sent a photo of the two babies sleeping in the group.
She slowed down and went up to see the two babies.
Since the incident which involved Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan, the two babies had become exceptionally obedient. At this moment, they were sleeping quietly in their cribs, like two quiet and lovely little angels.
Soon, Lu Boyan pushed the door open and came in. He said, “Yicheng and Xiaoxi came back after dinner. Let’s go downstairs.”
As soon as Su Jian’an went downstairs, Luo Xiaoxi asked, “How is Auntie Tang?”
“She’s out of danger now, and she can be discharged from the hospital after her wounds are completely healed.” Su Jian’an then changed the topic. “What about Xiyu and Xiangyi? Were they obedient today?”
“Xiyu has always been very obedient, and Xiangyi was difficult to deal with.” Luo Xiaoxi smiled cunningly. “However, as long as I told her that her grandma was not well and her mom was busy, the little girl would soon stop crying. It’s amazing.”
“It may be just a coincidence.” Su Jian’an hesitated for a moment and told Luo Xiaoxi something about Xu Youning.
After listening, Luo Xiaoxi appeared distracted for a long time.
“How could this be?
“Youning has been back, hasn’t she? She is pregnant with Mu Sijue’s child and also promised to marry him.
“How could she take Mifepristone & Misoprostol to kill her own child?”
“Is there any misunderstanding between Boss Mu and Youning?” Luo Xiaoxi put her hand on the belly and said, “I didn’t like children before, but since I was pregnant, I really feel that nothing is more important than my child. Even my dearest one can’t bear to hurt my child, let alone myself!”
