To put on this show, this woman actually donated 100 million yuan?

Lin Shu observed the changes in their expressions and continued with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your dean."

After saying that, she continued cracking sunflower seeds.

She didn't lie to anyone; there was no need, and she wasn't in the mood.

Given her connections and influence, she really didn't need to do that.

Lin Shu did not like to use her power to oppress others. In her view, all people are equal, and the world is already very unfair. She could only try her best to do some fair things.

Take tonight's plans, for example.

Wasting public resources is certainly wrong, but she will also pay a corresponding price.

After learning the inside story from Lin Shu, the way the group looked at Lin Shu instantly changed.

The young nurse looked on with curiosity. "Ms. Lin, may I ask why you're acting in this play?"

Lin Shu leisurely cracked sunflower seeds, "Actually, it's very simple. I just want my future daughter-in-law's heartbreak to come a little later."

Six people: "?"

This answer is truly incomprehensible.

Lin Family Villa, Xu Huang's Room.

Lin Mo helped Xu Huang, who was covered in sweat, to sit down by the bed. "Uncle Xu, how are you feeling now?"

"The ground is covered in wounds..."

Xu Huang's lips trembled weakly, "Young Master, did I do something wrong? Why did you lie to me... Why did you eat croton seeds?"

"This is indeed my fault; I didn't think it through."

Lin Mo looked apologetic. "Actually, at first I wanted my mother to make a sacrifice, but she was reluctant. I had no choice but to resort to this. Please forgive me, Uncle Xu."

Immediately, Xu Huang straightened his back and said, "Young Master, I can handle this. You absolutely cannot try to take advantage of Miss."

Hearing Xu Huang say this, Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart. "Uncle Xu's loyalty is truly as clear as the sun and moon."

Xu Huang looked at Lin Mo and said, "Young Master, I'm not worried about Miss, but about you. If you dare to scheme against Miss, she will definitely kill you."

Lin Mo: "..."

Okay.

After all that, it turned out that Xu Huang was worried about him.

"Ding--"

The vibration of his phone caught Lin Mo's attention. When he saw the text message from An Youyu, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

From his heart, he didn't want to lie to the girl.

However, he really couldn't think of a way to avoid going to the orphanage tomorrow in a short time, so it was a last resort.

He quickly replied with a message that would arrive soon, then put away his phone and asked Xu Huang with concern, "Uncle Xu, the effects of the croton oil should have worn off by now, right?"

Xu Huang took the ice water Lin Mo handed him and muttered to himself, "Young Master, why are you making me drink cold water at a time like this?"

Lin Mo explained with a smile, "Uncle Xu, it's better to drink some cold water after eating croton. Croton is considered a warming food, and drinking cold water can stop the diarrhea."

"I'm not well-educated, young master, don't try to fool me."

"Really, try it if you don't believe me. Of course, if you continue to have diarrhea, then never mind."

"..."

Xu Huang stared blankly at the ice water in his hand, unsure whether to drink it or not.

Lin Mo's right hand, which was placed behind Xu Huang's back, swayed slightly, and an invisible true energy gradually seeped into Xu Huang's body. After his body cultivation level reached the ninth level, his body could absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth on its own. The speed was very slow, but it could still help body cultivators perform some basic qi cultivation techniques.

Within a few breaths, Xu Huang's pale complexion improved considerably.

"Uncle Xu, you should rest at home for a while. I'm going out for a bit."

Xu Huang nodded, but didn't ask Lin Mo what he was going to do; that wasn't something he could interfere with.

After Lin Mo left, he hesitated for a moment, but finally drank the ice water in one gulp. Soon, the urge to have a massive bowel movement was significantly reduced.

This change in his body brought him a sigh of relief, "Finally, I don't have to suffer heartbreak anymore..."

Lin Mo took a taxi to Jingchuan Central Hospital and quickly found her in the corridor on the fourth floor of the emergency building, following the location sent by An Youyu.

When An Youyu saw Lin Mo arrive, her listless eyes lit up instantly. She ran up to Lin Mo and pointed to the closed operating room door, "Auntie is having surgery inside. The doctor said it seems to be acute appendicitis, and she will most likely have to have one appendix removed."

After saying that, she seemed afraid that Lin Mo would worry, so she quickly added, "You don't need to worry too much. Appendicitis surgery is just a minor operation, and it is very safe. Moreover, removing the appendix will not have any impact on Auntie."

"Afterwards, all we need to do is let Auntie rest well, and she will be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital soon."

Lin Mo looked worried. "Sigh, I was planning to take you to the orphanage tomorrow, but now my mother has had this accident, and Uncle Xu is also not feeling well. Someone definitely needs to stay with you here, so I might not be able to go to the orphanage with you tomorrow. Why don't you go by yourself?"

The play has been going on for so long, it's time for the climax.

An Youyu shook her head twice. "I'm not going. I'll stay with Auntie first. If it really comes down to it, I'll contact the school tomorrow to ask for a few days off and cancel the trip to the capital the day after tomorrow. I'm worried about Auntie in this condition."

"You can't just cancel a promise you've made to someone."

Lin Mo gently patted the girl's head and said in a gentle voice, "When I came, Uncle Xu was already much better. He should be fine after resting for a day tomorrow. He can take care of Mother the day after tomorrow. We can leave on time the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu did not insist any further and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Mo pulled An Youyu to sit down on a bench in the corridor. They chatted and waited for about an hour before the indicator light above the operating room went out.

Within a minute or two, the doctor and nurses wheeled Lin Shu out of the operating room.

Lin Mo and An Youyu rushed forward. An Youyu grabbed Lin Shu's hand, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Lin Shu smiled and shook her head, "It's alright, Auntie feels better than ever before, Yu'er doesn't need to worry."

A doctor said, "Don't worry, the patient's family. The surgery went very smoothly. The patient just needs to rest for a while."

Lin Mo glanced at his mother's rosy complexion and even noticed some sunflower seed shells left on the corner of her mouth. His lips twitched involuntarily.

No, could you be a little more precise?

Who has just had surgery and still has sunflower seed shells stuck to their lips? That's such an obvious clue!

Chapter 404 Nighttime Stroll

While helping push the hospital bed, Lin Mo quickly removed the sunflower seed shells from the corner of her mother's mouth, doing everything so discreetly.

When Lin Shu saw the sunflower seed shells in her son's hand, her face instantly turned red.

It’s over.

I was so engrossed in my banging inside that I completely lost track of time, and now I've made a huge fool of myself.

After arriving at the ward, the two doctors gave a few perfunctory instructions and then left.

An Youyu stayed by the bedside, constantly asking about his well-being.

"Auntie, where do you feel unwell?"

"Auntie, is your neck sore? How about I give you a massage?"

"Auntie, why don't you take a nap?"

...

The more enthusiastic the girl was, the more guilty Lin Shu felt, and she kept giving her son meaningful glances.

You should take care of your people.

Lin Mo could only laugh and smooth things over, "Little Fish, it's getting late. Let the nurses watch over things for you. I'll take you home to rest. I'll stay here tonight, and you can take over tomorrow morning, okay?"

"I am not sleepy."

Hearing that Lin Mo wanted to take her home, An Youyu tentatively suggested, "How about I stay with Auntie tonight and you come back tomorrow?"

"No one needs to guard you. You two go home and sleep."

Lin Shu's strong voice rang out, "This is a VIP ward, with 24-hour care. You two can go about your business. It's just a minor surgery, no need to make such a fuss."

An Youyu disagreed with Lin Shu's statement, saying, "Auntie, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; this isn't considered a major undertaking."

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow. "Fish, I didn't hurt any tendons or bones; I just had my appendix removed, but it's nothing serious. I can even get out of bed and do some square dancing now."

Lin Mo rubbed his forehead.

Is it so hard to keep a low profile?

Who just had their appendix removed and is now getting out of bed to do square dancing?

An Youyu didn't take Lin Shu's words to heart. A reproachful look appeared in her eyes. "Auntie, you need to rest well. Youyu can go back to rest, but you must not neglect your health. You need to recuperate now. It's not too late to dance when you're better."

Her soft, sweet voice melts your heart.

Lin Shu nodded repeatedly, "What Yu'er said is right. Auntie will definitely get some rest. You and Xiao Mo should also go home and rest soon."

"Mom, are you sure you don't need someone to accompany you?"

Lin Shu waved her hand, "No need, I paid for it. When it comes to care, nurses are much more professional than you."

Lin Mo didn't insist. He took An Youyu's little hand and said, "Okay, then Yu'er and I will go home first and come to the hospital to keep you company tomorrow morning. You should get some rest."

"go Go."

"Goodbye, Auntie."

"Goodbye."

As An Youyu walked out of the hospital, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Mo leaned closer to her. "Little Fish, you look very nervous?"

"Aren't you nervous?"

"Fortunately."

Upon hearing this answer, An Youyu fell silent for a moment, then said, "Lin Mo, you have no conscience."

"..."

An Youyu walked lightly to Lin Mo, looked up into his eyes, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of seriousness, "Perhaps you don't like what I'm about to say, but I still have to say it."
