Sunshine Hospital:

“Do you think it’s something serious?” As they walked towards Shi Luo’s office, Yu Mei could not help but ask.

They were doubting there must be something wrong with this body which is why she could not lose weight and that is why Shi Luo recommended several tests and a gynecologist for her.

But after looking at the solemn expressions on the doctor’s face during the tests, she could not help but wonder if her condition was something severe.

Shi Luo patted her back, “You don’t need to be scared. Whatever it is, it can be cured,” Her colleague’s expression was bothering her but she did not need to lie to her friend for that.

It’s better to be mentally prepared for the worst.

Yu Mei slumped on the couch before picking up the glass of water from the coffee table. After drinking a few mouthfuls, she shook her head, “Not scared. As long as I won’t die, I’m fine with everything.”

Shi Luo looked at her in a daze.

There was a nonchalant expression on her face but what exactly did she go through to speak something like this? Why did it sound so sad?

“What happened?” 

Shi Luo shook her head, “You should happy that you’re two years younger now. Which woman doesn’t dream of becoming young overnight?” She smiled.

Yu Mei rolled her eyes, “When will you go back to Amaranthine?”

“My mom has been asking me to move back to Beijing to live with her but since you were there and my work was all good, I kept on refusing her. But now, I am thinking I should stay here for some time or permanently move over.”

“What about your work? Many hospitals are offering you the position of director or chief skin specialist. You can always opt for them and settle down…” Yu Mei suggested as she leaned back on the couch and folded her legs atop it.

Shi Luo scoffed, “What do you know? These sly people just want to tie me down with these duties. It’d be tiring for me.”

Right now, she didn’t have to sit on a chair all the time waiting for her patients. Out of seven days in a week, she was available for three days in different hospitals to see the patients.

Even though the work schedule would be hectic on these particular days, but she was content with her work.

“And I earn decently too. I am satisfied with this,” She waved her hand.

Yu Mei pursed her lips. What decently? This woman was a millionaire. Don’t go on her cute and bubbly looks.

Sighing, she took out a gold card from her purse, “Here, take your card back,” The last time she didn’t realize when this woman put a gold card in her bag.

“What are you being formal for? Keep it.”

“I’m penniless right now. Don’t complain later when you get your bills in millions.”

Shi Luo chuckled before patting her head, “Previously, it was always you who would dote on me and take me out on shopping. Now it’s my turn to pamper my rich CEO friend who has become a beggar now.”

Yu Mei stood up from the couch before looking at the woman with narrowed eyes, “Luoluo, get that straight. Who did you call a beggar?”

“Not you, of course. How could you be a beggar when your husband is a rich tycoon?”

“He is not my husband!”

“You guys are married.”

“I am not accepting him as my husband.”

“Who can be sure of the future?” Shi Luo sneakily slid towards the door.

“Not now. Not ever. He is nothing but a friend.”

“Yes, Yes, a friend who will activate your hormones and make your panties wet. Let’s wait and see how long you can see him as a friend.”

“Shi Luo!!”

It was already past 4:00 pm when Yu Mei reached Ren Mansion after having a sumptuous lunch with Shi Luo.

Because of the heavy snowfall yesterday, the weather was cool and she didn’t feel that tired after walking to the mansion.

A soft gasp escaped her lips when she saw the scene in the living room.

A huge entourage of men dressed in black was standing at the entrance. They were bodyguards and she was sure of that after looking at their postures and uniforms.

Why were they here though?

She glanced around the living room to find Jun Zixuan standing in front of the teal wooden Victorian-style sofa.

Someone was sitting there but from her angle, she could only see the woman’s back.

Who is it? She thought to herself before making her way towards them.

At the sound of her approaching footsteps, the lady turned around to look at her, “Xiao Mei…” She softly called out.

She froze. Looking into her memories, she recognized the lady as her mother-in-law, Shen Lihua.

As a mother-in-law, she was not the evil witch that they displayed in television dramas. Rather, she was pretty caring and considerate towards the previous owner.

But the girl didn’t cherish it. She deliberately tricked the lady into believing that her son was not treating her well.

Although Jun Zixuan didn’t love her but he didn’t treat her that badly initially.

But she was not satisfied with that and deliberately ruined the relationship between the mother and son again and again.

She thought that to keep his mother’s heart, Jun Zixuan will accept her.

But despite their marriage, nothing happened between them.

And her accident and coma were the last snap on the mother and son’s relationship.

From what she heard from the servants, his mother stopped visiting him and talking to him after she fell into coma.

Maybe she blamed it on her son?
