After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

In a hospital ward.

The chubby little dumpling was nestled in Nan Shu's arms, looking at a picture book.

Pointing her little finger at the bear in the picture, she asked in a childish voice, "Mommy, why did the bear separate from Mommy?"

Nan Shu reached out and affectionately ruffled her son's hair.

"Because the little bear has to learn to grow up on its own, but the mother will never be separated from the poop."

Seeing such a warm and happy scene, Chen Jingyan, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but smile.

He was just about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

It's Shengda's phone call.

Nan Shu followed him down the hallway, worried.

"...The design was rejected? And Xiaoshu has to explain it to me personally?"

After saying something on the other end of the phone, Chen Jingyan's voice turned somber, "Could you make an exception? She's been busy taking care of her child lately and doesn't have time... I can explain the design draft issue to President Qi on her behalf."

Qi Yuye... what exactly is he going to do?

Lost in thought, Nan Shu accidentally bumped into the trash can next to her.

With a loud bang, Chen Jingyan turned around abruptly.

"Xiao Shu?" Chen Jingyan hung up the phone with a complicated expression. "You heard everything?"

Nan Shu nodded, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, her slender figure trembling slightly.

Chen Jingyan couldn't bear it, so he reached out and held Nan Shu's shoulder. "Xiao Shu, don't worry. The company has a Plan B. I'll go on a business trip tomorrow to try and secure the cooperation."

"Don't worry, the company will be fine, and there won't be any shortage of money for Um's treatment. Trust me, okay?"

Chen Jingyan's voice was gentle yet firm. Nan Shu looked up at him and couldn't help but feel her eyes redden.

How can Chen Jingyan be so good?

"You stay in the hospital and wait for my good news."

As he spoke, he helped Nan Shu to her feet, the soft touch of her skin still lingering on his fingertips.

Nan Shu nodded, her voice slightly choked, "Brother Jingyan, thank you."

The next morning, Chen Jingyan took his suitcase and went to the airport.

Nan Shu escorted him to the hospital entrance, and on her way back, she encountered a familiar figure in the inpatient lobby.

Madam Nan.

Her former mother, now a stranger.

Madam Nan's makeup was exquisite, her hair was permed into small curls, and she was pointing her pinky finger at the nurse leading the way.

Upon seeing Nan Shu, her eyes instantly turned cold, and her tone became somewhat sarcastic.

"Tsk tsk, look at the state of your life. You were once the eldest daughter of the Nan family, and people are saying that the Nan family is abusing you."

Madam Nan was furious when she saw Nan Shu.

Nan Shu listened expressionlessly.

Ever since the truth about the real and fake heiress was exposed, Madam Nan has been finding fault with her in every way and venting all her dissatisfaction on her.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her grievances, and said, "My affairs are none of Madam Nan's concern."

"Is it too much trouble for me?"

Madam Nan sneered, "I'm afraid you'll drag the Nan family down with you! Do you think Qi Yuye will still remember you, this abandoned woman, after he returns to Hong Kong? Don't dream. He's doing just fine with that Lin family woman now. As for you, that's all you'll ever be."

After saying that, Madam Nan stopped looking at her and swayed away.

Nan Shu stood there, her heart aching so much that she almost forgot to breathe.

She knew long ago that she had no place in the Nan family, but hearing such harsh words still made her feel sad.

They were once such a happy family. Even if they weren't related by blood, how could they have spoken so harshly to each other?

Nan Shu was exhausted, but she couldn't afford to slack off even a little, because Hmm was still waiting for her.

At 8 PM, Um finally finished her day of chemotherapy.

Upon seeing Nan Shu, the little dumpling immediately flashed a bright smile, "Mommy!"

Nan Shu sat down by the bed and reached out to touch her son's forehead. "Are you feeling unwell today?"

"No oil!"

He shook his head and patted his chest like a little adult, "Chemotherapy doesn't hurt at all, Mom, don't worry."

Nan Shu felt a pang of sadness and hugged her son tightly.

A four-year-old child, who should be playing carefree in kindergarten, has to endure the pain of chemotherapy, and we must be strong and comfort her.

Nan Shu couldn't help but secretly shed a few tears.

Before going to sleep, the little dumpling suddenly raised its head, its fair little face full of seriousness.

"Mommy, is my daddy not my dad?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu's heart skipped a beat.

For the sake of Um's education, Chen Jingyan took the initiative to suggest that Um call him "Dad" to give the child a complete childhood.

"Why do you ask that, hmm?" she asked, trying to appear calm.

Hmm, she lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the blanket. "But... I often see Mommy secretly looking at photos and crying. That Ren isn't Baba."

Nan Shu's eyes instantly reddened.

That was the only photo of her and Qi Yuye together.

When they got married, Qi Yuye had difficulty walking, so the wedding was kept very simple, and they didn't even take a wedding photo.

That group photo was taken to register their marriage.

After the divorce, she kept it in her wallet and would occasionally take it out to look at it.

It's not about reminiscing, but about reminding myself not to repeat the same mistakes.

Nan Shu took a deep breath, hugged her son tightly, and said in a choked voice, "Mommy was thinking about something. Jingyan is Daddy, he loves us very much, right?"

He nodded, seemingly understanding, and fell asleep in her arms.

Looking at her son's innocent sleeping face, Nan Shu felt a mix of emotions.

Perhaps one day in the future, when Um is grown up, if he still wants to know who his father is, she will tell him. But definitely not now.

Over the next few days, Nan Shu took care of Enen while waiting for news from Chen Jingyan.

But after Chen Jingyan went on a business trip, he could no longer be contacted.

She couldn't get through on the phone, and he wasn't replying to her WeChat messages. Nan Shu's heart was filled with increasing panic.

The next afternoon, Madam Chen rushed to the hospital and rushed over as soon as she saw Nan Shu.

A sharp slap.

Before Nan Shu could react, a slap landed on her face.

Old Madam Chen pointed at Nan Shu and hurled insults at her, her voice hoarse, "Nan Shu, it's all your fault, you vixen! You ruined my son! If Jingyan... if anything happens to him, I won't let you get away with this!"

Nan Shu froze, ignoring the pain on her face.

"Mom, what's wrong with Jingyan?"

"The secretary said that Jingyan encountered a mudslide on his way to discuss cooperation and is now out of contact!"

Old Madam Chen's voice trembled with tears, "How could it be such a coincidence? Why did this have to happen at this time? I'm begging you, please go and plead with Qi Yuye to let my son go, okay?"

Nan Shu's mind went completely blank.

"Xiao Shu, I know you don't want to see Qi Yuye, but what about my son's life!"

Old Madam Chen grabbed her hand, almost kneeling before Nan Shu, "If anything happens to Jingyan, I can't live on!"

Looking at Madam Chen's haggard appearance and remembering how good Chen Jingyan had been to her, Nan Shu finally nodded.

"Mom, I'm going to see Qi Yuye." Nan Shu gritted her teeth and swallowed all the bitterness in her heart.

As soon as she came downstairs, a black Maybach pulled up to the side of the road.

The secretary, dressed in a black suit and with a serious expression, immediately came forward to greet Nan Shu upon seeing her.

"Miss Nan, Mr. Qi sent me to pick you up."
