Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 287: The Onlookers Who Want Chaos (2)

After patting his arm, Su Ruixin also noticed something had gone wrong. Looking at Mu Tingfeng holding back his pain, she hurriedly reached out to salvage the situation but was avoided by him.

“Heh! Son, I didn’t really mean it. Let me see if your wound opens.”

Mu Tingfeng furrowed his eyebrows. His cold gaze akin to asking her not to touch him.

After being tragically rejected, Su Ruixin stared at Mu Tingfeng for some time before she turned her head around and threw herself into her husband’s arms. She cried out, “Dear, our son despises me! He despises me!”

Mu Xiaoyang seemed to be used to such situation. He hugged his wife and comforted her, “It’s fine. I don’t despise you.”

Mu Tingfeng thought to himself, ‘Flaunting your affection, my foot!’

Xia Zhetao thought to himself, ‘Why do I find the president so pitiful?’

Su Ruixin’s emotions changed rapidly. In just a moment, she regained her vigor. She felt curious, and leaned close to Mu Tingfeng and asked, “Son, how are things going between you and Youlin? She has gone on a blind date. Did you…”

“She won’t.”

“What?”

Mu Tingfeng turned around and looked at Su Ruixin. He enunciated each and every word clearly, “She has agreed to give me another chance. She won’t go on a blind date anymore.”

“What?!” Su Ruixin exclaimed in astonishment and looked very energetic. If not for the fact that her son had been injured and could not simply move around, she would have grabbed his collar and shook him violently.

“What has happened?! Why did Youlin suddenly agree with you? Did you do anything to her? What has happened between you two when I’m not around? Tell me!”

Su Ruixin was very excited. Meanwhile, Mu Tingfeng immediately turned his head to the side. Obviously, he did not plan to tell her.

Su Ruixin looked at him with resentment. She turned and looked expectantly at Xia Zhetao who was standing at the side.

Little did she know that Xia Zhetao looked equally dumbfounded. He clearly knew nothing about it. He could not help her even if he wished to.

Just when Su Ruixin became as curious as a cat and wanted to pry the answer from Mu Tingfeng’s mouth, he abruptly blurted out, “But, Youlin told me she would start all over with me on one condition.”

“What condition?” As soon as Mu Tingfeng spoke, not only Su Ruixin, but Mu Xiaoyang and Xia Zhetao also could not help but look at him from the side.

“She asked me… to find ways to make Joy accept me as his father.”

Right after Mu Tingfeng spoke, the atmosphere inside the ward clearly changed. The smile on Su Ruixin’s face collapsed within an instant.

Joy was the adorable child whom Su Ruixin had met once at the kindergarten before.

He was Mu Tingfeng’s biological son, as well as her own grandchild. However, over the past years, regardless of her or Mu Tingfeng, they never did their fair share of responsibility for that child.

Mu Xiaoyang seemingly felt their disappointment. He frowned. He stretched out his hand and pulled Su Ruixin into his arms. At the same time, he turned around and looked at his bedridden son. He said coldly, “The past is the past. It’s useless to dwell in the past. We might as well spend time thinking of ways to salvage the situation.”

Mu Xiaoyang’s words sent Mu Tingfeng’s entire body shuddering. Su Ruixin also regained her vigor within an instant. Instead, it was her turn to motivate Mu Tingfeng, “Your father is right. Before this, we have neglected Joy. In the future, we have to treat him even better. We do this not only for Youlin, but most importantly, it is because he is your son.”

Mu Tingfeng lowered his head and did not speak anything further. Su Ruixin misunderstood him. She thought he was disappointed. She hurriedly comforted him, “Son, you don’t have to be so depressed. My relationship with Mrs. Zhao is quite good. I heard that aside from gluing to Youlin, Joy is also very close with Mrs. Zhao. I’ll try to sound her out on him. The better we know about ourselves and Joy, the higher chance we stand to win his heart.”

Ever since Su Ruixin had deceived Duan Yarong with those half-truths so that she sided with her, the two, who had a similarity in a certain aspect, had become bosom friends and shared limitless common topics. Their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds when they shared many common topics. Even though Duan Yarong had not sided with Mu Tingfeng openly, she did not reject him like she used to.

Upon hearing this, Mu Tingfeng cocked one of his eyebrows. As he was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

Su Ruixin naturally realized this. She quickly separated herself from Mu Xiaoyang’s arms and rushed to Mu Tingfeng’s side. She wailed miserably, “My poor son, why do you have to suffer like this? Why must you go out instead of staying inside the hospital? Now, your wound is open. What about your parents if something were to happen to you?! Sobs…”

Xia Zhetao and Mu Tingfeng fell speechless.

As soon as Su Ruixin finished wailing, a nurse holding a tray, and was ready to change Mu Tingfeng’s medicine appeared at the ward entrance.

This was the nurse’s first time to be greeted with such a sight. She was stunned, and stood in place, looking helpless.

Su Ruixin was crying while looking in the direction of the ward entrance. When she found the person was the nurse instead of Zhao Youlin, her expression immediately stiffened.

She made some effort to stand up and patted her clothes. She said annoyingly, “Why is she not Youlin? What a waste!”

The confused nurse fell speechless.

Right after Su Ruixin spoke, a voice with a smile came into the ward. The voice clearly carried a hint of tease, “Hmm? Madam Mu, are you looking for me?”

Su Ruixin’s entire body stiffened. She was dumbfounded upon seeing Zhao Youlin come out from behind the nurse. She was smiling profoundly.

Su Ruixin was shocked to realize her stupid deed. She wished to dig a pit and buried herself. She laughed dryly and said, “Urm… Yes, I was talking about you, Youlin. Tingfeng was very stubborn. He left the hospital on his own. In the end, his wound which has taken some time to heal was open once again. I heard that you personally sent him back. Sigh, look at you, you took care of Tingfeng, and even sent him back to the hospital. You’ve helped us a lot. I wonder how I should express my gratitude to you.”

Zhao Youlin smiled. “Madam Mu, you’re always welcome. President Mu was injured because of me. So, I should be doing all this.”

After finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and patted the nurse next to her, who had yet to recover her senses. Zhao Youlin asked the nurse to go in and change Mu Tingfeng’s medicine

Only then the nurse was snapped out of her daze. She hurriedly went over to Mu Tingfeng’s bed side with the tray and changed his medicine.

Su Ruixin was still stuck in her own embarrassment. Upon seeing the nurse coming over to her, she quickly moved to the side and wrapped her hands around Mu Xiaoyang’s arms. She said awkwardly, “Since Mu Tingfeng is fine and you’ve arrived, we need to handle some issues, so we shall make a move first. Tomorrow… Tomorrow, we’ll come and visit Tingfeng again.”
