When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 666: Mu Ke, Do You Like Me? (Part 6)

Xu Qingru’s condition is better than expected. Before marrying into the Sheng Family, Xu Qingru was the young lady of a scholarly family. Now, although her parents passed away, with a solid family foundation and the Sheng Family not treating her poorly in the divorce, Xu Qingru has everything taken care of by specialists.

Sheng Jiayu stayed in the hospital for a whole week. She slept in Mu Ke’s personal rest room, only occasionally going home to shower and change clothes.

To Sheng Jiayu’s surprise, after talking to Mu Ke that day, she hadn’t seen him again. However, the next day, a nurse handed her a set of keys, saying Doctor Mu had specifically instructed it.

Sheng Jiayu wasn’t shy about it. She thought it was better to stay in the hospital to spend more time with her mother. Rather than revealing her identity and troubling a bunch of people, she preferred to only trouble Mu Ke.

Sheng Jiayu had a gut feeling that even if she didn’t want to trouble him, Mu Ke would definitely find a way to keep her troubling him.

As Xu Qingru’s condition improved, she was discharged early. On the day of her discharge, Sheng Jiayu’s classmate and friend Xue Lu rushed over and complained as soon as they met: "Jiayu, that was really not nice of you. Aunt was hospitalized, and you didn’t tell me in advance. If Xue Li hadn’t told me yesterday, you weren’t planning to say anything, were you?"

Sheng Jiayu smiled: "It wasn’t a big deal, and you’re busy with work. I didn’t want to trouble you."

Xue Lu rolled her eyes at her: "Aunt is so good to me, work can certainly wait."

Seeing Xue Lu, Xu Qingru showed a kind smile: "Lu Lu, why did you come over? Not working today?"

Xue Lu beamed: "Aunt, I’m off today. You were hospitalized, and Jiayu didn’t say a word, so I didn’t know."

"No big deal, don’t tire yourself running around."

Xue Lu accompanied Sheng Jiayu to send Xu Qingru home. Xu Qingru did not live in the city like Sheng Jiayu but rather in the suburban Xu Family’s Old Mansion, which wasn’t as opulent as the Sheng Family, but was quiet and serene with a cultural vibe.

After taking her medicine, Xu Qingru went to her room to sleep. Xue Lu pulled Sheng Jiayu to sit in the living room and asked about Xu Qingru’s condition, then shifted the topic to Mu Ke.

"How are things with that Doctor Mu?"

"What do you mean, ’how’?"

"Stop pretending to be clueless with me. Although I haven’t met that Doctor Mu, both Xue Li and my mother-in-law praise him to the skies. Aren’t you considering it?"

Xue Lu’s husband is surnamed Chen, named Chen Xueli, and his mother is the Aunt Chen Sheng Jiayu mentioned earlier. Mu Ke was introduced by Aunt Chen to her mother, and her mother insisted on pushing him onto her.

Sheng Jiayu shook her head: "I don’t want to think about those things. I’m fine as I am now, just want to spend more time with my mom. I used to be busy and barely spent time with her. From now on, I want to have more time for her. As for those things, I really have no heart for them."

Xue Lu glared at her like hating iron for not becoming steel: "Enough! For that Xin Ke, are you planning to devote yourself to chanting scriptures? That kind of scumbag should be sunk in the Pacific Ocean. What are you still thinking about him for?"

Sheng Jiayu smiled: "It’s not that I’m thinking about him, I really don’t have the heart for it."

Xue Lu and Chen Xueli were college classmates, married right after graduation, and now she’s a mother of two. She and Sheng Jiayu had been classmates since middle school, only parting after graduating high school, but their relationship had always been good.

Xue Lu had always witnessed the story between Sheng Jiayu and Xin Ke, and felt her devoted friend was truly not worth it.

"You, you might as well be foolish to death."
