Luo Jiuyu's voice was full of emotion, carrying deep regret and pity.
Hua Meimei didn't know what was wrong with him, so she gently patted his back and comforted him, "It's not too late. You've arrived just in time."
"When did you two become so close?"
Hua Wenxia, lying in her hospital bed, exclaimed in surprise, her voice brimming with joy, feeling as if she could be discharged from the hospital immediately.
Hua Meimei released Luo Jiuyu's embrace, turned around and glared at Hua Wenxia, "Don't get too excited, or your high blood pressure will flare up again."
Hua Wenxia smiled, revealing crow's feet, "Okay, I'm not excited."
Luo Jiuyu then looked at Hua Wenxia and addressed him respectfully, "Greetings, Father-in-law."
Hua Wenxia was stunned when she heard the belated address of "father-in-law." Thinking she had misheard, she stared blankly at Luo Jiuyu, then at Hua Meimei.
Luo Jiuyu then asked gently, "Is your father-in-law feeling any better?"
Hua Wenxia excitedly exclaimed twice, "I'm much better! I'm almost fully recovered now that you're here. I want to be discharged, but Meimei doesn't agree. Could you talk to her for me?"
The factory is saved! The fact that her son-in-law is willing to acknowledge her means he has feelings for her. Hua Wenxia was overjoyed, feeling as light and energetic as if she had gained new vitality.
Hua Meimei smiled secretly. Luo Jiuyu would one day obediently call his father-in-law. She thought he never planned to meet the Hua family in his life.
Whether or not she sees him is entirely up to him. She won't ask him to meet the Hua family; sometimes she even considers severing ties with them herself.
If Hua Wenxia hadn't been suddenly hospitalized, she didn't know when she would see Hua Wenxia again.
At this moment, Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an walked in together.
Luo Jiuyu and Hua Meimei both turned to look at the newcomer. When Lin Cuilan saw Luo Jiuyu in the ward, she thought she was hallucinating and rubbed her eyes.
Hua An'an had always admired Luo Jiuyu, and upon seeing him, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother-in-law!"
Luo Jiuyu remained silent with a gloomy face this time. Hua An'an, having been given the cold shoulder, looked at Hua Wenxia with a disgruntled expression.
Hua Wenxia didn't know why Luo Jiuyu was ignoring Hua An'an and not speaking up for her son. The factory needed her son-in-law to save it.
Lin Cuilan stared at Luo Jiuyu, noticing his gloomy face, like a jade-faced demon. She found it increasingly difficult to breathe, and before she could catch her breath, she fainted.
"Mom! Mom, what's wrong?" Hua An'an hurriedly helped Lin Cuilan up, but she wouldn't wake up no matter how much she called.
Hua Meimei frowned and said sarcastically, "When did her health become so weak?"
Could it be an act? Why did she faint upon seeing Luo Jiuyu?
Hua Wenxia quickly rang the bell to call a nurse to check on Lin Cuilan.
A short while later, the doctor was brought in by the nurse.
They conducted a preliminary examination of Lin Cuilan and determined that her fainting was caused by emotional instability. They advised her to rest and calm down, and to pay attention to maintaining emotional stability.
Hua Wenxia said, "I guess she fainted from joy when she saw her son-in-law visiting me in the hospital."
Hua Wenxia assumed Lin Cuilan fainted because she was too excited about Luo Jiuyu's presence and his willingness to help the Hua family's business turn around. She couldn't very well tell the truth in front of Luo Jiuyu.
Hua An'an was confused, but she did whatever her father said, thinking that she should just take good care of her mother and wait for her to wake up.
Although the single room was spacious, it still felt crowded with four people. As long as Hua Wenxia's condition improved and she was in good health, Hua Meimei was relieved and didn't want to stay any longer.
"Dad, Jiu Yu and I are going back first. You must follow the doctor's orders and take your medicine on time while you are in the hospital. Don't think that you can skip your medicine just because you don't feel unwell," Hua Meimei solemnly instructed Hua Wenxia.
Hua Wenxia nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I'll do whatever you say. You should go back now!"
Let them go back and nurture their relationship. As long as the daughter and son-in-law get along well, the Hua family will have everything they need.
Hua Meimei then looked at Hua An'an: "Can you manage to look after them all by yourself?"
Hua An'an pouted, annoyed, "It might work."
Hua Meimei glared at him, and he involuntarily shrank back, then suddenly realized that he was actually a little afraid of Hua Meimei now!
What a frustrating discovery. Hua An'an touched her head in disappointment.
Luo Jiuyu took her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll hire a caregiver."
Hua Meimei thought for a moment and was about to agree when she heard Hua Wenxia refuse: "No need, Aunt Zhang will bring lunch soon. She will stay at the hospital to help out."
Oh, I almost forgot about Aunt Zhang.
Hua Meimei looked at Hua Wenxia earnestly, "Dad, Aunt Zhang has worked for our family for so many years, she's practically family. Please keep an eye on your wife in the future, treat Aunt Zhang well, and don't boss her around. If Aunt Zhang quits, where will you find such a dedicated maid?"
Hua Wenxia didn't know the details of Lin Cuilan's suppression of Aunt Zhang, but after hearing Hua Meimei's words, she could roughly guess what it was. She guessed that Lin Cuilan was holding a grudge because Aunt Zhang had spoken up for Hua Meimei.
Hua Wenxia only truly understood what kind of woman Lin Cuilan was in the last month or so.
Narrow-minded, petty, vain, and incapable of raising children properly.
Aside from having a pretty face, she's really good for nothing.
Even if they felt disgusted with each other after being together for over twenty years, it couldn't be said that their feelings had completely disappeared. A large part of their romantic love had transformed into familial affection over time.
"Sigh, I'll talk to your Aunt Lan about it." Hua Wenxia sighed.
Hua Meimei coldly corrected him: "She's not my aunt, she doesn't deserve it. She's Lin Cuilan, and in my heart, she has no kinship with me whatsoever!"
Hua Wenxia paused for a moment, knowing that she harbored resentment towards Lin Cuilan, and could only nod and say nothing more.
"Once you're discharged from the hospital, I'll talk to you about the collaboration," Hua Meimei said seriously.
"??" Hua Wenxia was completely bewildered.
"Father-in-law, take good care of yourself. Goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye Mr. Luo." Hua Wenxia, still on the hospital bed, didn't forget to nod and bow, bidding farewell to her son-in-law.
Hua Meimei didn't want to stay any longer, so she took Luo Jiuyu's arm and led him out of the ward.
Once in Luo Jiuyu's car, she slumped inside, suddenly feeling depressed.
He put his arm around her slender shoulders. "What's wrong, baby?"
"I agreed to help my dad save his factory," Hua Meimei said, her face full of worry.
"Leave this to me," Luo Jiuyu smiled. "I have a lot of experience in this area."
Berry shook her head. "You can't help them."
She knew that once he intervened, the Hua family's business would not only be revived but would also experience rapid growth.
She had her own considerations: "I don't want Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an to live too comfortably, taking away so much money from the Hua family without doing anything and living a life of extravagance."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Leave it to me, okay?" Luo Jiuyu said.
She already has a plan; all she needs to do when she gets back is draft the cooperation contract and hand it over to Hua Wenxia in a couple of days.
“This is the Hua family’s business, not mine. You don’t need to get involved. The Hua family has never treated my mother and me well. I’m going to get justice in my own way.” She hugged his waist and kissed his chin. “You just need to love me. You don’t need to worry about the Hua family.”
Luo Jiuyu's gaze was calm as he felt even more heartache for her strength and independence. He couldn't help but hug her tightly and agree to her request.
"Meimei, I love you." Luo Jiuyu lowered his head and kissed her lips. "You must remember that no matter what, you still have your husband as your strong support. You are no longer alone, and you can rely on me with confidence."
Touched, Hua Meimei quickly hugged him tightly and raised her chin in response to his kiss, "Mmm!"
Gao Peng, who was driving, felt a warm glow inside as he listened to their conversation; he felt quite full from being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Why did it suddenly become quiet?
Gao Peng curiously glanced at the side mirror; they were kissing passionately.
Oh my god...
With Mr. Luo and his wife, he can never get enough of their PDA!
Suddenly, I felt a little envious of Wang Ru, who was with President Mo. President Mo was a diamond bachelor, passing through a sea of women without ever getting attached to anyone, so Wang Ru would never get to experience any of the "nutritious dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a couple's relationship).
After having lunch with Luo Jiuyu at a high-end restaurant, Hua Meimei returned to the Xinzhi Building.
Unexpectedly, Mousse was waiting for her in the company's break area.
