Chapter 771 Who Wants to Meddle in Other People’s Business?
In the intensive care unit of Kuncheng First People's Hospital, which was filled with the smell of disinfectant and a solemn atmosphere, Mu Xiaoji slowly woke up from his coma.
As his consciousness gradually became clearer, what surged in his mind like a tide was endless regret for his impulsive behavior back then.
Based on his portrayal of Jiang Chengyu in the novel and his understanding of him through his daily interactions with him over the years, he knew that Jiang Chengyu was definitely not an ordinary person.
In the business field, Jiang Chengyu is like a shining star. With his outstanding business acumen and precise market insight, he has made his career flourish and is truly a business genius.
In the medical field, he used his superb medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded, and helped countless patients who were on the brink of life and death to regain their lives. He is a true master of medicine.
But what about me? Back then, I was blinded by anger just because of a momentary humiliation.
He had done something so cruel to someone who had loved and protected him with all her heart and life. That scene still stung his heart like a sharp knife.
His impulsiveness not only caused Jiang Chengyu to fall into a coma and lie in bed for two years, but also cruelly destroyed his "elixir hand" that could have brought people back to health.
Whenever Mu Xiaoji thought of this, he felt that he had committed a grave sin. Anyone who saw a man of such good character as Jiang Chengyu suffer such a misfortune would feel deeply sorry for him.
The more Mu Xiaoji thought about it, the more he felt that his crime was unforgivable, and his heart was completely overwhelmed by self-blame and regret.
He fell to his knees in front of Jiang Chengyu in the ICU with a plop, banging his head against the ground repeatedly, as if only in this way could he alleviate the guilt in his heart a little.
When Jiang Chengyu heard the sound, his heart tightened. Helplessly, he had to gently and carefully put Jiang Shuo in his arms back on the hospital bed.
Then, he quickly squatted down, stretched out his hands, and gently held Mu Xiaoji's shoulders, his eyes full of heartache and relief.
He said softly, “Xiao Ji, what happened in the past is in the past, and I never meant to blame you.
Perhaps, all of this is fate's arrangement, just a small punishment for the mistakes I made in the past!"
Mu Xiaoji looked utterly embarrassed, with tears and snot all over his cheeks, and he said bitterly, "What did you do wrong?
If it weren't for me, you could have always been that young man who wandered around the world, lived a carefree and carefree life, and galloped freely in your own world.
But now, I have harmed you..." As he spoke, he clenched Jiang Chengyu's disabled right hand with both hands, his heartbroken voice became more choked, and he almost burst into tears.
"Xiao Ji, the fact that I can come here and experience all this shows that this is all destined by heaven. There is a plan for everything, so you really don't need to blame yourself so much."
Jiang Chengyu's voice was low and gentle, trying to soothe Mu Xiaoji's almost collapsed emotions.
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji wiped the snot and tears from his face with his sleeves, and held Jiang Chengyu's arms tightly with his hands like pliers.
His eyes were filled with pleading and longing, and he pleaded almost desperately, "Little Monster... your hand has become an irreversible fact. Many things in the future will definitely be inconvenient.
I beg you, please give me one last chance, let me make it up to you, let me take care of you, okay? Come back to me, okay? "
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji in this state with a helpless look on his face. He felt mixed emotions and really didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Jiang Chengyu did not respond, Mu Xiaoji continued to say tearfully: "You once protected me with all your heart.
Even the suicide note asked Karina to find Idris and Professor Drucker and transplant her heart and lungs to me, and to regard me as the most important person in her life.
Now, I want to exchange all of this and protect you. I swear to God, no matter what you become in the future,
I will obey you in everything, as long as you can come back to me; little monster... come back to me, okay?"
He raised his right hand high, and swore with a serious and pious expression, as if he wanted to carve his oath between heaven and earth.
Jiang Chengyu gently took his right hand, his eyes full of complicated emotions, both heartache for Mu Xiaoji and helplessness towards reality.
He said slowly: "Xiaoji, we are no longer children, we can no longer be willful and selfish like before.
Just think about it, Mother Mu and Uncle Guo, Aunt Shen and Uncle Song, none of them can accept the relationship between us.
Even though I took the initiative to choose to collect sperm for you and surrogate your baby without your consent,
I thought that if the Song family had descendants, Uncle Song would feel better, but this was not a long-term solution after all.
Furthermore, you also have to consider the family's rules and traditions. The Song family is a large family that values inheritance, and there are strict regulations for entering the family tree.
Think about it, what if the Song Clan Ancestral Hall allows you, a bachelor, to be included in the family tree and the ancestral hall in the future? This not only concerns you personally, but also the family's reputation and inheritance."
Mu Xiaoji was as stubborn as a child and blurted out without thinking: "How can I be single? I have you! As long as you are by my side, I don't care about anything else."
Jiang Chengyu smiled bitterly, and that smile was full of powerlessness and sadness in the face of reality.
He slowly stretched out his hands, and gently picked up Mu Xiaoji who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
She turned around and carefully placed him on the bed. She kneaded his broken right leg and said, "It's already partially broken, and you still want him to kneel. Does it make you feel uncomfortable?"
Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Chengyu's distressed eyes, stared at her missing right leg, and tears fell down.
"Xiaoji, stop thinking about it. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body.
This is the intensive care unit, a special environment, so let's not discuss these meaningless topics!"
As he spoke, he gently covered Mu Xiaoji with a blanket, his movements soft and careful, as if he was protecting a fragile piece of porcelain.
Mu Xiaoji refused to give up. His eyes revealed deep despair, and he asked in a trembling voice:
"Little monster... since you burned down the little bamboo house, have you already made up your mind to have nothing to do with me from now on...right?"
As he spoke, he saw tears streaming helplessly from the corners of Jiang Chengyu's eyes, and he stared at Jiang Chengyu's seemingly expressionless face, as if he wanted to find a ray of hope from it.
Jiang Chengyu wiped away his tears without responding. He just silently helped connect the various instruments that monitored Mu Xiaoji's physical condition back to his body one by one and carefully adjusted the parameters.
Then, he turned around and slowly walked back to Jiang Shuo, his face instantly replaced with a loving expression.
He quietly looked at Jiang Shuo who was still sleeping soundly, as if all his hopes and future were placed on this child.
At the door of the intensive care unit, Song Shijie was watching the movements inside through the glass door with a worried look on his face.
When he saw his son Mu Xiaoji being patiently comforted by Jiang Chengyu and slowly lying back on the hospital bed, his frown finally relaxed slightly and he felt a little more at ease.
He couldn't help but mutter sincerely, "Chenxi has always been stubborn. After all these years, it seems that only Cheng Yu can control her!"
Xiao Yue, who was standing by, was still immersed in his heartache for Jiang Shuo, with tears still lingering on his cheeks.
Hearing Song Shijie's words, she subconsciously wiped the tears from her cheeks, her eyes still fixed on her son on the hospital bed, and praised Jiang Chengyu:
"Young Master Jiang has always been thoughtful and attentive, and he's the best at soothing people. Young Master and Young Master Jiang have known each other for so many years, so he naturally understands Young Master Jiang's sincere heart for him!"
Deng Zhouyi and Teng Zijing, who were standing nearby, heard their conversation and saw the interaction between Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu in the intensive care unit.
They couldn't help but look at each other, confused by the complicated relationship between the two that seemed to go beyond ordinary friendship.
Deng Zhouyi looked puzzled and couldn't help asking Xiao Yue, trying to solve the mystery in his heart: "Hey, are you Jiang Shuo's mother?"
Xiao Yue's mind was entirely on his son, and his eyes never left Jiang Shuo. He just subconsciously nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah!"
Seeing Xiao Yue’s calm reaction, Deng Zhouyi felt even more confused!
I couldn't help but continue to ask, "Aren't you angry when two grown men are so intimate like this?"
Xiao Yue remained unconcerned, ignoring the meaning of Deng Zhouyi's words, and asked, "Why should I be angry?"
Deng Zhouyi widened his eyes and looked up and down at Xiao Yue, who was well-dressed and had an elegant temperament.
He didn't think this woman had any mental problems, but he couldn't understand her thinking and logic in her words.
It was as if he saw an incomprehensible weirdo, with a speechless face, and he said speechlessly: "No, you..."
He danced with his hands and blinked his lips, trying to organize his words, and continued: "Jiang Chengyu is like that. Yesterday at the door of the operating room, he was still..."
As he said this, he pinched his fingers and pecked his forehead, trying to hint to Xiaoyue that Jiang Chengyu not only hugged Mu Xiaoji intimately,
She also kissed him on the forehead, which is difficult for ordinary people and a partner to accept.
"You don't even feel angry about such an action?" Deng Zhouyi looked at Xiao Yue's reaction with anticipation.
Rong Shishan, who was standing nearby, heard Deng Zhouyi's words and his face darkened. He angrily said, "What are you talking about, you little brat? You really love to gossip."
Teng Zijing also quickly scolded him, "Deng, stop talking. It's other people's family affairs, don't meddle in other people's business."
Deng Zhouyi was scolded by the two and felt a little unhappy. He turned around and walked to the bench on the side, sat down, and muttered softly:
"Tsk, I don't think anyone in this family is normal. I wonder who took the wrong medicine? I'm just asking casually, who's meddling in other people's business? Humph!"
After saying that, he crossed his arms over his chest with a look of disapproval on his face.
