Shen Shuyi was still focused on her moisturizing mask and did not stop what she was doing.

Why do you ask?

Just a gut feeling, Liang Ruoxu answered simply.

Liang Ruoxu was suspicious of her mothers att.i.tude toward this matter ever since they first got home.

She would definitely ask about her relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yi.

Otherwise, she wouldnt have casually offered to invest tens of billions into him at the dining table.

From a different perspective, this was a statement of intent.

However, when she returned, her mothers att.i.tude was surprisingly calm. This was not what she had expected.

If his father and grandfather were here, they would have hounded her with questions.

Actually, its nothing. I feel that the two of you are not suitable. Shen Shuyi did not keep her in suspense and shared what was on her mind.

Liang Ruoxu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not show it on her face.

She took out the facial mask and applied it alongside her mother.

Were not even together. What does it matter whether were compatible or not?

Its good that youre not together, Shen Shuyi said.

As a friend, Lin Yi is a good guy. I think highly of him too. Otherwise, I wouldnt have offered to invest in him.

Having said that, although were not together, Im quite curious as to why you would reject him.

Liang Ruoxu applied a mask to his face and threw the trash into the bucket.

In truth, Lin Yi is indeed a good person. Other than being a little unreasonable, theres nothing wrong with him.

This was something that Liang Ruoxu could not figure out. He was rich, handsome, responsible, and responsible. Any mother-in-law would like such a son-in-law.

Even she would be very satisfied if she had a daughter and got such a son-in-law in the future.

A person like him wont think about women and family at all, so I dont want you to settle down with such a person. Shen Shuyi voiced her thoughts and said:

In the future, when you find a husband, just follow your fathers standards. Its useless to be good-looking. Its also useless if youre too smart. Its best if the guy is as honest as your father.

You mean hell focus his life on his career and thus neglect his family?

Thats exactly it, Shen Shuyi said.

Such a man is destined to not be mediocre, but its precisely because of this that his fate will be one of two extremes.

Which two extremes?

Either he tramples the world under his feet or hes crushed to death by it. Simple as that.

Liang Ruoxu suddenly stopped talking. In the past, she always felt that she couldnt see Lin Yis future clearly.

After what her mother said, perhaps this was true.

Lin Yi was definitely this kind of person. He would never allow himself to sink into mediocrity.

It has nothing to do with me. Im just a friend.

That would be for the best. I wont say anything else.

The mother and daughter leaned against the sofa and did not continue the conversation. Instead, they turned on the television and chatted about their daily lives.

Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi tore off her mask. Alright, go to bed early. Wake up early tomorrow and follow me to the hospital to see Old Master Yang.

Got it.

After throwing away the mask, the mother and daughter walked toward their room. However, the moment Shen Shuyi opened the door, Liang Ruoxu stopped her from behind.

Mom, you said that Lin Yis future might turn out as one of two extremes. Did you pluck this a.s.sumption out of thin air or have you ever encountered such a person?

You dont believe me? Would Mom ever hurt you?

No, I was just asking.

Looking into her daughters eyes, Shen Shuyi swallowed the words she initially wanted to say and changed her tone.

I have.

I see.

Go back to sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow.

Yeah.

The mother and daughter returned to their respective rooms. Shen Shuyi lay on the bed and struggled to sleep. The waves in her heart did not dissipate for a long time.

From the moment she saw Lin Yi, she noticed that he really looked like that man.

However, there were still some differences between them.

At the corner of his eyes, there seemed to be the gentleness of that woman.

Shen Shuyi sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly as she muttered to herself.

It should be considered extreme for a woman to live like that.

The next morning, Lin Yi took a taxi to the hospital.

Brother Lin, there will be a surgery later. The medical records are all on your desk. Take a look first. Director Li said that the surgery will start at 9:30, Qiao Xin said.

Sure.

Lin Yi felt that he didnt need to go out anymore. He could just follow Li Chuhan for surgeries every day and easily complete the mission this way.

Isnt this the old man from Room 801? Did his family send someone over? Has he paid the hospital fees?

Qiao Xin shook her head helplessly. When he was first hospitalized, they paid 4,000 yuan. Since then, the family hasnt reappeared. They owe us more than 10,000 yuan now.

What did the hospital say?

The hospital is also quite helpless. The patient has been sent to us. Even if the family cant be contacted, we cant throw him out. We can only treat him first, Qiao Xin said. We cant delay it anymore. We have to do the surgery.

Didnt you ask the patient to contact his family?

I did, but that old man keeps pretending to be stupid, Qiao Xin complained. As soon as I asked him to contact the family, he said that his heart wasnt feeling well. There was nothing I could do.

What the f*ck is this? Lin Yi cursed, Where did Director Li go? Ill ask her whats going on.

She left for the emergency department earlier, Qiao Xin said. Shell be back when the surgery starts.

Lets go to the emergency department.

Lin Yi felt like he was an unemployed person who could go anywhere he wanted. The hospital was almost his home.

When they arrived at the emergency department, the two of them b.u.mped into Li Chuhan in the hall. She was not treating anyone, instead, she seemed to be showing two young doctors the ropes.

Make way, make way!

As soon as the two of them arrived at the emergency department, they saw the emergency doctor shouting.

Lin Yi saw two male doctors carrying a five or six-year-old girl. Her body was covered in blood as they rushed to the emergency center. Behind them was a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the childs mother.

She was also injured, but because she was an adult, her life was not in danger.

However, the condition of the child was uncertain. After all, the child was still young and could not properly communicate with adults.

Follow me.

Li Chuhan greeted them and walked over with Lin Yi and Qiao Xin.

What is it? Li Chuhan asked the emergency doctor.

There was an accident. Theres a five-centimeter cut on her arm. Shell need st.i.tches.

Doctor, please save the child, the middle-aged woman cried.

Its fine. This isnt life-threatening. Li Chuhan examined him. Director Lin is the best doctor in our hospital. The wound isnt big, and the scar will be very small. It wont mar her beauty.

Okay, okay, okay. Thank you, doctor. Can I go in with you?

Yes, lets go to the debridement room together.

Li Chuhan said to Lin Yi, You do it.

Got it.

Because the wound was not big and the suturing was not difficult, Li Chuhan arranged for it to be carried out in the debridement room.

Kid, how old are you?

Before preparing to suture, Lin Yi smiled and started talking to the girl. He wanted to lower the little girls mental defense. Then, he would give her an anesthetic, after which, the rest would be easy to take care of.

After the anesthetic was administered, the little girl was stunned. She looked at Lin Yi with her big beautiful eyes, as if she was saying,

I trusted you so much, but you stabbed me!

Soon, the anesthetic took effect and the little girls emotions stabilized.

Child, what are you doing? Uncle is asking you a question, the little girls mother lectured.

Five years old.

After the anesthetic was administered, Lin Yi started cleaning the wound. He said to the little girls mother, Whats wrong? Why didnt you drive slower?

This wretched girl kept arguing with me along the way. As soon as I turned to look at her, I crashed into a tree.

Seeing that her daughter was fine, the middle-aged woman was no longer worried.

Moreover, this young doctor was so pleasing to the eye.

Not bad. Lin Yi looked at the little girl. How old are you? You already know how to fight with your mother. Why do women have to make things difficult for other women?

I didnt argue with Mom. I just wanted her to give me a little brother who could play with me.

Because it was a local anesthesia, the little girl did not feel any pain during the suture and could communicate normally.

How many times have I told you? Your father is on a business trip. How can I give birth to a little brother for you? The little girls mother was speechless. She did not know how to explain this matter.

So what if Daddy isnt at home? Cant we have a younger brother without him?

Kid, calm down. Control your emotions, Lin Yi said.

Ill take care of this. When we get home, Ill help your mother to give birth to a little brother for you. When your father comes back, Ill surprise him.
