She returned to the ward and quietly sat on a single-person sofa by the window, looking outside...

King Jingyao had been watching her since she came in. Seeing that she didn’t speak, he signaled the nurse with his eyes. The young nurse, who had just learned from WeChat, quietly told him, "It was Ms. Tang who passed away. Dr. Little Gu... is somewhat sad."

King Jingyao glanced at her, and the nurse fell silent.

He looked again at that little kid, who now seemed like he had lost his soul, just staring outside silently. He didn’t understand what was so special about Tang Yuan to make her deserve even a glance from him, deserve his sadness...

Old Wang lay there stiffly, suddenly groaning, "It seems very painful."

The nurse was extremely nervous, "Dr. Little Gu, should we let you check on Mr. Wang?"

Gu Anxi turned her head, "What’s wrong?"

As she turned her head, there were two tears in the corners of her eyes, which King Jingyao caught sight of by chance.

When she came over, he snorted, "It’s me in pain, not you. Why are you crying?"

Gu Anxi put on a mask and assumed he was faking it, so during the examination, she deliberately applied strong pressure, which made Old Wang King Jingyao cry out miserably... even the nurse couldn’t take it.

Dr. Little Gu, you really have a ruthless approach!

For the whole morning afterwards, King Jingyao was like someone with constant problems, complaining about pain here and there. Gu Anxi almost wanted to throw him out, but this one could never be thrown out, she had to serve him like a lord!

When the elderly couple came over and saw him bossing the young one around like this, they were quite upset, especially the elderly lady who immediately scolded, "She has toiled the entire night, and yet you’re still so rude. Without the young one, who knows where you’d be lying now."

The old brother rubbed his nose, "The old lady is so partial."

The elderly lady gave him a sideways glance, then looked at the young one.

The elderly lady was very astute, having heard about the situation on her way over, so she gently said, "We’re here now, why don’t you go take a rest in Xichen’s office for a while?"

Gu Anxi also wanted some peace, so she let Director Hao come over to keep watch as she left.

As soon as she left, the elderly lady said to her son, "You probably already know, yet you still order her around like this. You know she’s upset, that woman, whatever she was, was still her mother, and now that she’s gone, of course, she won’t be indifferent. People have feelings, how can you be so insensitive, no wonder you’re still single at your age."

The old brother smiled bitterly, not arguing back.

The elderly lady, of course, knew her son and advised earnestly, "I know you want to distract her, but I’ve observed, why does your relationship still seem the same, always at each other’s throats."

The old brother rubbed his nose, "What did I do? As soon as I woke up, she said I was old and didn’t bathe. Can I swallow this insult?"

The old lady sneered, "Yeah, you can’t swallow it, but is it wrong? You are old and didn’t bathe yesterday. You play around outside, what do those women see in you? Isn’t it the aura behind you, that title of Mrs. Wang?"

The old brother couldn’t help but argue, "I’ve given her half of my wealth."

"That’s only fair." The old lady was being double standard.

The old brother stayed silent.

Just then, Lin Hua and Jiang Chaoge unexpectedly arrived together. Fortunately, Lin Hua came alone and didn’t bring her fiancé, otherwise, the old brother would have been infuriated.

Jiang Chaoge naturally cared a lot and wanted to complain, but seeing the old lady Wang there, she didn’t dare act rashly, because everyone knew Mr. Wang was most filial. Being defiant in front of the old lady would be most unwise.

Besides, there was Lin Hua.

Jiang Chaoge and Lin Hua saw each other unfavorably. Lin Hua came from a prominent family and was well-cultured, but she wasn’t a very Buddha-like person either, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stand her ground in the arts circle all these years, and still be a woman King Jingyao respected a lot.

Today, she was very low-key, holding a small bouquet, her entire being radiating a happiness and sweet charm. The old brother felt a twinge of sourness in his heart upon seeing her, his gaze towards her now somewhat different.

A man, well, that’s how it is. A woman waits for him, and he might not be that tempted, but once she stops waiting and falls into someone else’s arms, he feels uncomfortable, probably subconsciously thinking that woman originally belonged to him.

Old Wang brother’s mood now was probably like that, but no matter how sour he felt inside, he was a man of dignity, pretending to be magnanimous and nonchalantly entertaining the two women, "Please have a seat."

Lin Hua placed the flowers neatly, looked at the sofa, and laughed, "This is where Anxi slept last night, like a little pig tumbling around."

She was very fond of Anxi, and respected her as a doctor, so she deftly tidied the small blanket, sniffed it, "It still has a scent of a child, youth is wonderful, even their scent is pleasant."

The old lady particularly liked these words and grew closer to Lin Hua.

In her heart, she also valued Lin Hua very much and had hoped her son would settle down and find such a woman to marry, at least have a child. However, Jingyao, inexplicably bewitched, let these years pass without marrying her, and now look, she’s with someone else...
