Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

"Why? You wouldn't have been fooled by Mu Tiantian's clever tricks like my brother, would you?" Fu Ziliu was completely puzzled.

"I used to think that Mu Tiantian was a very clever person, which is why your brother liked her so much, but after getting to know her, I realized that's not the case..." Wen Kerou felt that she needed to tell Fu Ziliu about what happened at the orphanage last night.

So she began to speak.

When Uncle Zhong saw Mu Tiantian finally coming from the elevator, he quickly went over to help her.

Mu Tiantian looked at Uncle Zhong with great gratitude. Uncle Zhong was a thoughtful person, just like Fu Zhengting.

Uncle Zhong instructed Mu Tiantian not to stay inside for too long, and to keep watch outside with Huo Qijun.

Mu Tiantian went in and saw Fu Zhengting lying motionless on the bed. Tears welled up in her eyes.

She bent down and grabbed Fu Zhengting's hand. Seeing that his hand was scraped raw, she gently blew on it with heartache. "Ah Shen, you promised me. You can't lie to me. If you don't wake up, I'll go find Han Qikai and be with him."

They were trying to stimulate Fu Zhengting to wake up.

She wanted to stay here and protect Fu Zhengting, which might be a source of energy for him.

She didn't want to go out.

Whether she lives or dies, she wants to be with Fu Zhengting.

If Fu Zhengting really died, she would be willing to die for him.

He just couldn't let go of his mother.

She's dead, what will happen to her mother?

She had not yet fulfilled her filial duty.

Even if Jiang Hui is not her biological mother, she should still fulfill her filial duty and take care of Jiang Hui until the day Jiang Hui leaves this world.

Thinking of what Jiang Hui said not long ago, my heart felt as if it were being weighed down by a heavy stone.

She couldn't help but wonder who her biological parents were.

What is her family background? Why did you abandon her?

She gripped Fu Zhengting's hand tightly, rubbing it against her face affectionately. "Ah Shen, do you know? My mother isn't actually my biological mother. You're all I have now. You can't leave me."

Speaking of her, I think of Fu Zhengting's mother.

Mother Fu should be arriving soon.

She asked Wen Kerou, and it took three and a half hours to fly from Gangcheng to Nancheng. She also checked, and it takes about forty minutes to get here by taxi from the airport.

I reckon it's about time.

She let go of Fu Zhengting's hand. "Ah Shen, your mother will be coming to see you soon. Although she seems cold to you on the surface, she still loves you in her heart."

She took a deep look at Fu Zhengting, then reluctantly turned and left.

Huo Qijun and Uncle Zhong also planned to go downstairs to wait for Fu's mother.

Seeing that Mu Tiantian looked so tired and haggard, and that her clothes were all dirty, Uncle Zhong suggested, "Tiantian, we can wait. You go back to your mother's ward and rest."

Mu Tiantian shook her head; she couldn't possibly fall asleep.

Not wanting her mother to worry about Fu Zhengting, she didn't want to tell her for the time being.

I also don't know how to face my mother, afraid that I will not be able to help but question her if I see her.

Huo Qijun and Uncle Zhong exchanged a glance. Although they were reluctant, they didn't want to say too much. Huo Qijun carried Xiao Linglong, while Uncle Zhong helped Mu Tiantian downstairs together.

The group arrived at a small shop next to the hospital entrance and sat on the chairs outside to rest and wait.

Uncle Zhong had Fu's mother's phone number, but he refrained from calling.

Because Fu's mother treated Fu Zhengting badly, he felt sorry for Fu Zhengting and felt a bit resentful towards Fu's mother.

Deep down, he harbored some extreme thoughts and didn't care that Fu's mother came to see Fu Zhengting.

When your son is doing well, why don't you treat him better?

I only came to see him now that my son has had an accident.

Ah Shen is not rare.

He didn't even want to look in the direction of the hospital entrance.

But as angry as he was, the fact that that indifferent woman came to see Ah Shen might actually have some effect.

Huo Qijun hoped that Fu's mother could come and see, and he kept staring at the entrance.

Mu Tiantian felt sleepy as soon as she sat down, but she didn't want to fall asleep.

We must at least hold on until Madam Fu arrives and we can see her.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and began asking Huo Qijun more about Fu Zhengting.

Especially the matter of Fu Zhengting marrying Wen Kerou back then.

After hearing Huo Qijun's explanation, she realized that Fu's father had invited guests without consulting him first, leaving Fu Zhengting no choice but to marry Wen Kerou.

The more I learn about Fu Zhengting, the more I feel sorry for him.

If it were her, she probably would have already fallen out with Mr. Fu.

Actually, Fu Zhengting has a very good temper and is very tolerant.

She wasn't that good-tempered, and she held grudges. Her scumbag father hit her once, and she hated him. At that time, she thought that even if her scumbag father died in front of her, she wouldn't feel sad at all, and she would even set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Now that she knows her scumbag father isn't her biological father, she's even less likely to be soft-hearted.

Uncle Zhong was also heartbroken and teased Mu Tiantian half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Tiantian, actually, Ashen is just like you, a pitiful little thing who lacks love and needs your care."

Huo Qijun jokingly chimed in, "Uncle Zhong, let me correct you, it's not 'little pitiful,' it's 'old pitiful.'"

Uncle Zhong smiled and nodded, "Yes, Ah Shen is a pitiful old man. A pitiful young man and a pitiful old man are a match made in heaven."

This kind of banter made them both feel less upset.

As they were talking, they didn't notice a car approaching from the front, and Xiao Hailan got out of the car.

However, when Xiao Hailan went to the trunk to get her suitcase, Huo Qijun turned his gaze and saw her again!

Huo Qijun walked over quickly.

Uncle Zhong and Mu Tiantian then stood up as well.

Little Linglong was yawning repeatedly because she was sleepy, but when she saw that the adults had all gotten up, she quickly got up and followed them.

Huo Qijun, who approached first, called out, "Aunt Fu."

Xiao Hailan paused slightly as she moved her suitcase, finding the voice both familiar and unfamiliar. Turning around, she saw Huo Qijun and, knowing he and her son were good friends, immediately asked, "Qijun, what about A-Ting...?"

She was terrified to hear that horrifying answer.

Seeing Xiao Hailan so worried, Huo Qijun felt relieved for Fu Zhengting. If Fu Zhengting could see Xiao Hailan's worried expression, he might feel a little better.

But while they were relieved, their resentment grew even stronger.

The harm that Fu's mother did to A-Ting cannot be made up for with just a little worry.

He replied coldly and indifferently, "The doctor did not pronounce him dead on the spot, but transferred him to the intensive care unit for observation for three days."

Xiao Hailan could finally breathe a sigh of relief after rushing all the way here.

Seeing Xiao Hailan like this, Uncle Zhong's anger flared up. He felt indignant on Fu Zhengting's behalf, and his words were naturally barbed: "So you did know you had a son like Fu Zhengting?"

Xiao Hailan felt uncomfortable after being choked by the choking.

She did not refute, nor did she know how to refute, nor did she have the right to refute.

Uncle Zhong was furious and wanted to say something even harsher, but Huo Qijun stopped him.

Huo Qijun, trying to smooth things over, said to Xiao Hailan, "Let's go see Ah Ting first!"
