“I’ll ask Uncle Chu to send you back to my place. I’ll stay with her in the hospital.” Chu Ningyi looked up at Qiao Yaruan as he spoke.
“Hurry on over, your Godson is waiting for you.” Shui Anluo scoffed. She was being melodramatic. She only needs to acknowledge it, why openly state it?
Qiao Yaruan threw her a disdainful look as she snapped the needle of the syringe and threw it into the rubbish bin.
The painkillers soon came into effect. Not too long after Qiao Yaruan left, she was no longer in pain. Her entire body lay drowsily in Chu Ningyi’s arms.
Chu Ningyi lowered his head and left gentle kisses on her forehead.
“This is the last time I’ll indulge Jiayi,” Chu Ningyi murmured softly.
Shui Anluo reached out and held him tightly. She kept her eyes shut. “I know but I still feel so aggrieved.” Shui Anluo grew increasingly melodramatic.
Chu Ningyi gently patted her arm and planted a kiss on her dry, cracked lips. “Sleep. I’ll explain Lan Xin’s issue tomorrow.”
The painkillers were mixed with tranquilizers so even if she wanted to find out now, she could not resist the drug and fell asleep in his arms.
Chu Ningyi patted her gently and looked up at Luo Xuan who was standing at the doorway. It was definitely not good news for this guy to be here in the middle of the night.
“Speak.” It was a simple yet aggressive word.
Luo Xuan leaned against the door and immediately threw an invitation card at him. “My father and Auntie’s wedding is in half a month. I think you should give Auntie an explanation.”
Chu Ningyi caught it with one hand and heard the gloating tone in his voice. He knew what he has to explain to Long Manyin.
Chu Ningyi glanced down and placed the invitation card on the table. “I’ll bring her over.”
Luo Xuan nodded. “I wish you good luck,” he said as he turned around. He then turned back and looked at Chu Ningyi. “Good plan.”
“Thanks,” Chu Ningyi replied indifferently.
“I hope that when you face your mother-in-law, you’ll have a good plan like this one too. For her to be injured twice, once in a landslide and once at a staircase. Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Luo Xuan clicked his tongue as he spoke before leaving the room in high spirits.
Chu Ningyi narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip around Shui Anluo.
Facing his mother-in-law was not an issue that could be solved with good tactics.
Chu Ningyi looked down at Shui Anluo. “The road to marriage is bumpy and there’s more than just one hole.” They had just solved one and now they have to cross a hole in the form of his mother-in-law. It was bigger than the Great East African Rift Valley.
Shui Anluo wiggled her nose then rubbed it with her hand. However, she continued to sleep soundly.
Chu Ningyi lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Since he has chosen her, he would cross that hole even if it was the Great Rift Valley.
It was dawn. Chu Ningyi’s senior management team in charge of Soaring Distance Technologies has arrived along with an almost fully recovered Vice Director Liu.
Chu Ningyi handed the documents over to them. “At ten o’clock in the morning, three hundred million will be invested in Soaring Distance Technologies. Soaring Distance Technologies shall commence with trading again at a quarter after ten.”
“Three hundred million?” Vice Director Liu was shocked. Shui Moyun had only managed to get 1.5 hundred million during that year.
“All you need to do, Vice Director Liu, is to commence with trading again. There’s no need to worry about money.” Chu Ningyi calmly instructed.
Vice Director Liu nodded. “Thank you very much for this, Director Chu. Otherwise…” Vice Director Liu did not continue.
Chu Ningyi sent them off. Just as he was about to head back, he noticed Chu Mobai and He Xiaoran striding over.
He raised his brow and looked down at the time on his wrist. It was only a quarter past six. What were these two doing here at a time like this?
