You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

"Son! Mom has come to see you!"

squeak-

The door to the ward was slowly pushed open for the fourth time.

Accompanied by this booming voice, loud enough to lift the roof off, a middle-aged woman with a fashionable perm and a slightly plump figure rushed in.

It was Lin Chen's mother, Shen Manyun.

Behind her followed a large "consolation group" composed of neighbors.

The aunts and uncles, each carrying a fruit basket, a bucket of chicken soup, or a bag of eggs, blocked the entrance to the already small ward.

Shen Manyun had come to visit her son after hearing that he had been "heroically injured," and also wanted to check if there were any suitable nurses in the hospital so that she could create opportunities for her son.

But when she stepped into the ward and saw what was inside, her feet froze on the spot.

The tense, almost explosive atmosphere in the ward was completely dispelled by the sudden arrival of the large group.

Shen Manyun's gaze swept across the entire room.

The woman on the left has a cool and aloof demeanor and a tall figure. Although she is only wearing a simple knitted sweater, her heroic spirit cannot be hidden. She is holding a bowl of dark, murky medicine in her hand.

The woman on the right, sweet, lovely, and charming, is tightly hugging her son's arm, just like a kitten guarding its food.

Looking at the foot of the bed, there was another one standing there!

A white coat, black stockings, a stunning figure that's hard to look away from, and in her hands... she's actually holding a stark white skeleton?

Three!

Three stunningly beautiful women, each with a distinct style and stunning enough to be on television, are tightly surrounding their good-for-nothing son!

The worry on Shen Manyun's face froze.

She blinked.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, afraid that his presbyopia might have caused him to see wrong.

Three seconds later.

An overwhelming joy, comparable to winning five million in the lottery, suddenly erupted from her eyes!

"Ouch!"

This heartfelt exclamation was even more resounding and loud than the previous cry of "son".

On the hospital bed, Lin Chen desperately raised his hand and covered his face.

It’s over.

Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear my name.

"My goodness! Xiao Chen is amazing!"

"This isn't just an injury and hospitalization; it's like falling into a spider's web!"

"The Lin family's ancestral graves are about to emit auspicious smoke!"

The aunts and uncles behind him also saw the battle and instantly erupted in excitement!

They swarmed in like a group of Columbuses who had discovered a new continent, filling the small ward to capacity.

A symphony of exclamations, discussions, and gossips blended together.

The three women, who were secretly vying with each other and whose gazes were almost sparking, reacted with astonishing speed after seeing Shen Manyun's face, which clearly read "future mother-in-law."

It's comparable to the face-changing act in Sichuan opera!

All the cold arrogance on Su Qingge's perpetually icy face vanished instantly, replaced by poise and virtue.

She put down the bowl of "biological weapon" in her hand, quickly went to greet her, and took the bags from Shen Manyun.

"Auntie, we meet again. Please have a seat."

"You must be tired from your journey. Let me pour you a glass of water."

That voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

Lin Chen's eyes were practically bulging out from between his fingers as he covered his face.

Is this still the same Team Leader Su who could break three ribs of a prisoner with a single kick?

Su Ke'er, on the other hand, is even more shrewd.

She immediately released her grip on Lin Chen's arm, took a large, red apple from the fruit basket, and magically produced a small fruit knife.

"Hello, aunties! I'm Ke'er, Lin Chen's friend!"

She called out sweetly, but her hands moved so fast it was dazzling.

"Shuashuashua——"

With a flash of the knife, the apple peel formed a continuous line in her hand and fell precisely into the trash can.

An apple, perfectly peeled and with even the core carefully removed, was handed to Shen Manyun.

This masterful knife skill amazed the group of middle-aged women.

Even Jiang Tingxue, who was standing at the foot of the bed and had never been interested in social niceties, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and quickly joined the fray.

She put the exquisite model of the spine aside and walked over to an older woman who was massaging her back.

"Auntie, your pain is caused by the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae compressing the nerves."

Jiang Tingxue's voice was clear and professional, yet her hands precisely pressed on the other person's acupoints.

"Bear with it for a moment, I'll help you reset and relax."

A soft "click" sounded.

The aunt was taken aback at first, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow! Amazing! It doesn't hurt at all anymore! This girl is even better than the chief physician at the hospital!"

Inside the ward, the battle reignites.

This time, however, the battlefield shifted from Lin Chen's hospital bed to Shen Manyun's side.

Three women, each using their unique abilities, engage in a fierce, albeit silent, battle for the title of "future daughter-in-law" around Shen Manyun and her supporters.

Su Qingge served tea and water with poise and grace, her commanding presence and demeanor instantly subduing the chattering aunties.

Su Ke'er peeled apples and distributed fruit, her sweet words as sweet as honey. She kept calling out "Auntie" and "Grandma," making a group of old ladies very happy and praising her as a thoughtful little darling.

Jiang Tingxue, however, took a different approach and directly launched a free clinic program.

With her professional medical knowledge, she could tell at a glance which aunt had high blood pressure and which lady had arthritis, and gave professional treatment suggestions in just a few words, instantly winning the trust and favor of all the elders.

Shen Manyun sat comfortably on a chair by the bed, being served by her three "future daughters-in-law," and the smile on her face never stopped.

She glanced at the dignified and poised woman on her left and was satisfied! She had the air of a matriarch!

Look at this one on the right, so well-behaved and adorable! I love her! She looks like she knows how to take care of people!

Then I looked at that quiet, hardworking woman who also knows about health and wellness—oh my, I like her even more! Marrying her would ensure the whole family lives to be a hundred years old!

The happy troubles made Shen Manyun grin from ear to ear.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, which she had worn for decades and was entirely green.

This was a treasure passed down from her family when she got married, intended for her future daughter-in-law.

But now...

Shen Manyun looked down at the bracelet, then looked up at the three girls she couldn't bear to give up on any of them.

For the first time, an old face showed a troubled expression due to being too happy.

She leaned close to Lin Chen's ear, lowered her voice, and whispered something in a tone that was both boastful and troubled.

"Son, isn't this...this bracelet a bit too few?"

Lin Chen lay in bed, listening to his mother's words that were the epitome of Versailles, and looking at the surreal scene before him that resembled the selection of concubines in the imperial harem, and felt a splitting headache.

He was really having a headache.

I felt like the wound on my arm, which was almost healed, was about to be scared open by the atmosphere.
