Chapter 593 Meeting (13)
A lingering encounter concluded only after Fu Nancheng had two cold showers.By the time he returned, Qiao Mo was already asleep. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, Qiao Mo struggled to get up, preparing to go to Louis’ company to sign a contract with him. After all, settling the job sooner would bring peace of mind.
However, she seemed to have forgotten to tell him about her pregnancy last time, and she wondered if knowing this would change his mind, considering many companies are reluctant to hire pregnant women.
Early in the morning, Fu Nancheng, with a stern face, sent her to Louis’ company, and only after Qiao Mo kissed him did his expression improve somewhat.
She met with Louis as scheduled. Meanwhile, just as Fu Nancheng reached the ground floor of his company, Yang Peiyun called him.
"Mr. Fu... could you please come to see Xiao Yun? Her condition... is not good." Yang Peiyun spoke earnestly.
Fu Nancheng furrowed his brow: "I’m not in the charity business, you seem to have found the wrong person."
"Mr. Fu, are you truly so heartless? After all, Xiao Yun ended up like this because of you!"
"So, you think this gives you leverage to threaten me?" Fu Nancheng’s tone grew colder.
Yang Peiyun tensed up and immediately denied: "That’s not what I meant, I just wanted to ask you to come and see Xiao Yun, her state really is very poor... Besides you, I don’t know who else could comfort her."
"Ha, how bad can it be? She didn’t die in the years without me."
Honestly, Fu Nancheng didn’t want to treat the girl from his memories this way. Whenever he thought of scenes from his childhood, he felt a pang of unwillingness.
But he was more unwilling to hurt Qiao Mo because of this—childhood memories, after all, are in the past.
"Mr. Fu... back then you were at least her hope! At that time, she didn’t know you were engaged to Qiao Mo." Yang Peiyun spoke again, unwillingly.
"If I go now, it will only give her hope; it’s better not to go." Fu Nancheng coldly refused.
After speaking, he was about to hang up the phone.
Yang Peiyun was anxious: "Mr. Fu! If you come and talk to Xiao Yun occasionally, I will acknowledge Xiao Mo as my daughter!"
Fu Nancheng paused, not reacting for a moment.
Yang Peiyun was actually nervous because she had already discussed this matter with Qiao Mo yesterday and didn’t know if she had told Fu Nancheng.
But she guessed Qiao Mo wouldn’t tell him about visiting Qiao Yun.
"Mr. Fu, I’m not Xiao Yun’s nanny, I am the mother of Xiao Yun and Xiao Mo..."
...
Half an hour later, Fu Nancheng’s car finally headed to the Fifth High-level People’s Hospital.
And he finally remembered that the investigation indicated that Xiao Mo’s mother was called Yang Peiyun, surnamed Yang, and he had always thought she was already dead, hence he hadn’t pondered too much.
When Fu Nancheng appeared in the hospital room, Qiao Yun’s eyes brightened. Her somewhat bleak face burst with vibrant energy.
"Nancheng, you’ve come to see me!"
Seeing her change of expression, he ultimately felt a bit of compassion and responded softly, "Yes."
"The doctor said if I undergo a few more surgeries, I could remove these ugly scars, although I’m not sure how long recovery will take." She was somewhat elated yet also anxious.
"That’s good," Fu Nancheng replied.
In truth, he wanted her to recover even more than she did, at least this way he wouldn’t feel like he and Xiao Mo owed her anything.
