When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1241 Qiao Mai of the 1970s 9
Zhang Yifeng knew it was time for him to make his appearance. He opened the ward door and saw Guo Wenshan standing outside. He merely raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned to look inside the ward: "Uncle Guo, my mother needs to rest. She has seen a lot of people today and is very tired."

After Guo Jiantao and his son Guo Wenshan left, only Gu Jingyue, Qiao Wenting, and Zhang Yifeng remained in the ward. Qiao Wenting had been feeling incredibly sorry for Qiao Mai for a long time, and she half-embraced Qiao Mai, saying, "I will definitely take good care of you from now on."

Qiao Mai was a little embarrassed: "I'm your mother, and you expect me to take care of you instead?"

“That’s different,” Qiao Wenting said firmly. “You’ve worked so hard before, I didn’t know there were so many things going on.”

Tan You came into her life when she was eight years old, and she never experienced hardship again. How could a child understand the relationship between his parents? Of course, they couldn't see the differences.

Now, after hearing Qiao Mai compare Guo Jiantao and Wang's work, Qiao Wenting realized that Qiao Mai's marriage was truly a source of grievance.

“You were too young back then, how would you know these things?” Qiao Mai dodged the question: “I don’t want to be hospitalized, I want to go home. I can’t even have peace and quiet in the hospital.”

Qiao Wenting readily agreed: "Sure, why don't you stay at my place? I have a housekeeper."

Qiao Mai flatly refused: "No, that's your home. I want to go back to my own home. I want to go back to Yijingyuan."

Qiao Wenting compromised: "Then I'll have Auntie take care of you? And Auntie can come back when you're better?"

Seeing that Qiao Mai still wanted to argue, Qiao Wenting's face turned cold: "I only have this one request. If you still don't agree, then you can stay in the hospital."

The moment she turned cold, she unconsciously captured Tan You's essence. Although Qiao Wenting and Qiao Mai were more alike, both having round faces and almond-shaped eyes, Qiao Mai looked soft and easily bullied, while Qiao Wenting exuded a sharp and assertive aura.

Qiao Mai wilted: "I agree, I agree, okay? It's a promise, I'll send the nanny back as soon as I feel better. You're usually busy with work, so I feel at ease having a nanny at home to take care of you."

"Don't worry," Qiao Wenting leaned on her shoulder and pressed his cheek against hers, "It's only a week, and we'll just be eating at the company cafeteria, it'll be fine."

Zhang Yifeng raised his hand: "I will definitely take good care of Tingting."

Qiao Mai chuckled and touched Qiao Wenting's hair: "You've seen my marriage. Don't follow my example. The most important thing is to be happy."

Zhang Yifeng expressed his heartfelt sentiments: "Mom, I can't bear to see Tingting suffer. I've kept all the lessons you've taught me in my heart over the years. I won't be the kind of irresponsible person."

Qiao Mai wanted to laugh, but after using so many emotions today, she couldn't really laugh. She could only curl the corners of her lips and say, "Okay, you two grew up together, know each other inside and out, and have a common bond. I believe you will be happier than me."

Qiao Wenting hugged Qiao Mai tightly, saying, "You will be very happy in the future. I am not jealous of Guo Wenshan at all now."

Qiao Mai paused, "Wen Ting, I'm not biased towards Guo Wenshan..."

“I understand,” Qiao Wenting said. How could she not understand? Her favorite person was actually Tan You. If Tan You favored Guo Wenshan, Qiao Wenting would truly not be able to bear it. But stepping out of the role of a daughter, Qiao Wenting looked at Qiao Mai as if she were a junior.

Qiao Mai is, after all, Guo Wenshan's mother. She misses Guo Wenshan and wants to care about him, which Qiao Wenting can understand. But if it's Tan You... Qiao Wenting feels like he could kill Guo Wenshan.

"Don't overthink it, I understand," Qiao Wenting said with a smile, his round eyes crinkling. "I already have the most precious thing, and that's enough."

Qiao Mai understood, and she smiled, "That's good."

Qiao Mai wanted to be discharged from the hospital, even though the hospital didn't approve, but both Qiao Wenting and Qiao Mai were adamant about it. In less than an hour, Qiao Mai was settled in at home.

Aunt Liu, Tan You's former personal nanny, was also at home, even already making soup in the kitchen. Gu Jingyue didn't follow this time, but went upstairs on his own. Qiao Wenting looked around and, seeing there was nothing he could help with, smiled and said, "I have to go to the police station to handle some things later. I'll come see you again later?"

“No need, you go ahead and do your work,” Qiao Mai waved her hand with her eyes closed. “I have a housekeeper here, everything is fine.”

"Can the other party afford to pay for the car?"

Qiao Wenting's tone was fierce: "Even if we can't afford to pay, we have to. He caused you such great losses, are we just going to let it go so easily? There's no reason for that!"

"Besides, his family has some assets. If they can't raise the money, they can use the factory to pay off the debt. I won't be picky."

Qiao Mai chuckled: "You're quite the presence of President Tan these days."

“I’ve only learned three-tenths of what President Tan has learned,” Qiao Wenting said, finally relaxing completely. “Alright, I really need to go and handle the follow-up matters. If you encounter any inconvenience, please feel free to contact me.”

As for Gu Jingyue, she didn't ask Qiao Mai anything. Just like Tan You said, her own mother wasn't thinking about that aspect right now. If she brought it up, wouldn't that be helping Gu Jingyue out?

That won't work!

Qiao Mai then began to recuperate at home, while the shop was naturally managed by the shop manager. After she returned home, she never saw Gu Jingyue again.

"Mr. Qiao, I'd better go to the hospital for a check-up with you." Aunt Liu was still worried, wiping her hands as she prepared to go to the hospital with Qiao Mai for a follow-up examination.

Qiao Mai spun around in front of her: "I'm completely healed. It's your grandson's birthday today, so I'm giving you a day off. You can spend a good birthday with your grandson."

"By the way, you should go straight back to Wenting's place tomorrow. I'm really fully recovered and can take care of myself now."

Aunt Liu carefully examined Qiao Mai's complexion. Seeing that she was healthy and energetic, Aunt Liu's worries lessened somewhat: "Then I'll go first? Are you really okay?"

“No problem at all,” Qiao Mai pushed Aunt Liu’s back and handed her the gift box from the entrance. “You should go home early. I’ll take a taxi to the hospital later. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

"This is a birthday gift I prepared for Xiaohu. I couldn't prepare it properly this time because of my injury. I will prepare a better gift for Xiaohu next year on his birthday."

Aunt Liu followed Qiao Mai's lead and walked out, saying, "You've already gone to so much trouble; this is already very kind of you."

Qiao Mai pressed the elevator button: "Okay, let's go back early. We can still catch the bus at this time. I'm going to the hospital for a check-up later. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After seeing Aunt Liu off, Qiao Mai packed up her various documents and medical reports, preparing to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. She felt she was better and didn't want to go for a check-up, but Qiao Wenting had called her early that morning to tell her to go to the hospital.

If she hadn't been away on a business trip yesterday, Qiao Wenting probably would have personally taken her to the hospital.

"Do they really think I'm a child?" Qiao Mai muttered, but her face was full of smiles. Before leaving, Qiao Mai still gave up those high heels and chose a pair of flat shoes instead.

She needs to go shopping today, and it will be more comfortable to do so in flat shoes.
