Chapter 813: What Exactly Did You Say to My Husband?
Are you his son?
Mu Xichen was stunned for a moment by the question.
However, he quickly got over it and asked, “How much time does he have?”
The doctor frowned and said, “It’s hard to say. Everyone’s situation is different. From the assessment we did, it’s likely your father had known about it and has already received treatment. You may check with the hospital that he had received treatment from previously, or go through another checkup here. Either is possible. His condition is under control for the time being. However, as children, you should pay more attention to your parents’ health.”
Mu Xichen listened without responding.
Li Beinian smiled at the doctor and said, “Thank you, doctor.”
The doctor nodded and suddenly looked at Li Beinian with a serious expression. “Miss.”
Li Beinian was inexplicably nervous. “Yes? Is there more?”
“My daughter likes you very much. May I ask for an autograph?” The doctor was a male doctor who looked to be in his forties or fifties, an old-fashioned and typical man. However, when he made this request, his cheeks were flushed. He had already taken out a pen and paper, but he couldn’t help but glanced around as though afraid of being discovered.
Li Beinian replied, “Of course.”
The doctor seemed elated and said, “Thank you.”
After Li Beinian signed her name, she asked, “What’s your daughter’s name?”
Slightly taken aback for a moment, he then quickly said, “Zhang Yan.”
Li Beinian wrote: Hello, Zhang Yan. I’m Li Beinian. Thank you for your love and wishing you a happy new year.
The doctor looked at what she had written and said, “That’s a great message. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
The doctor left shortly, and following this, Wu Meiya finally arrived.
The woman was dressed to the nines and was exquisitely dolled up. She ran towards them in a panic.
Li Beinian noticed that she was wearing pointed stilettos.
Wu Meiya looked flustered, and her expression was full of hatred when she saw Li Beinian. She said in an accusing tone, “What exactly did you say to my husband! His condition has been under control right up till now. Why has he ended up in the hospital the moment you turned up!”
Mu Xichen looked up at her.
He noticed that she was all dressed up exactly like a typical wealthy lady of leisure.
She seemed to look younger than before.
Mu Xichen’s gaze was icy and he quickly looked away. He had no intention of answering her questions.
Li Beinian, made speechless by the look of resentment in the woman’s eyes, ignored her as well.
Furious, Wu Meiya ran towards Li Beinian and demanded, “Tell me what happened!”
Li Beinian replied impatiently, “What do you want me to say? Are you done? Don’t you know what’s going on with your husband’s health? You only turn up after he is out of the emergency room. Are you really concerned about him?”
Wu Meiya stomped her foot angrily and said, “You wild lass, is this how you talk to your elders? How rude!”
“Haha!” Li Beinian did not wish to indulge the conversation any further. She held Mu Xichen’s hand and said, “Since his family is here, let’s go home. Let’s not be an eyesore here.”
Led off by Li Beinian, Mu Xichen turned and walked off without saying a word.
Wu Meiya was indignant upon seeing how this had turned out. “Xichen, this is your father. Don’t be bewitched by this wild lass! She’s just trying to sow seeds of discord between you brothers because she can’t bear to see you two on good terms!”
