Chapter 517 Mr. Ling’s Dearest Love
Qiao Qianmo looked worried. "Is asking you to stay here too much for you? Since Mrs. Susan has already been found, why don’t you go back home and stay with Sister Xiyan instead?"Ou Jue glanced at her bare feet and said coldly, "Go inside."
Though his tone was frosty, Qiao Qianmo felt a sweet warmth deep inside. She nodded. "Okay!"
Then, obediently, she returned to the hospital room.
Lying on the hospital bed, she couldn’t stop herself from smiling.
Because Brother Ou Jue was here by her side.
Xia Xiyan must be furious right now, almost driven mad.
How delightful.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qianmo pulled out her phone and posted a message on Weibo: "Girls who are pampered by their brothers must be lucky~"
Susan, lying on the other hospital bed, asked, "Momo, what’s making you so happy?"
"Nothing much," Qiao Qianmo tucked her phone away and looked at Susan. "Auntie, tell me about yourself."
Susan sighed deeply. "Me? I’m just a woman with a bitter fate. My family went bankrupt, I’m old and childless, and I had to sell my only house to afford treatment..."
"But things are different now," Qiao Qianmo smiled. "You’re Mr. Ling’s beloved. To the Ou Family, Mr. Ling is akin to a savior, which means they now need to curry favor with you... Your good days are just starting."
So remember, it’s me, Qiao Qianmo, who saved your life.
I’m going to use you well to make the Ou Family fully accept me!
As Susan heard Qiao Qianmo mention her "good days starting," a flicker of greed flashed in her eyes.
But at the mention of "Mr. Ling," an unmistakable trace of panic surfaced in her gaze.
She tried hard to steady her breathing.
"Auntie..." Qiao Qianmo looked at Susan meaningfully. "If you won’t mind, why don’t you let me be your goddaughter?"
"What did you say?" Susan was visibly shocked.
"Do you not want that, Auntie?"
"I do, I do!!" Susan said excitedly.
Having no children of her own, the prospect of having someone like Qiao Qianmo as her goddaughter felt like sheer luck to her!

Meanwhile, back home.
At the Xia Mansion.
Xia Zhiyun was once again having that dream.
In the dream, the tall and slender man pinned her to the bed, leaning over her, intertwining their fingers tightly.
"Susan, you can’t escape," the man’s rough, heavy breathing grazed against her ear.
"Ah—"
Xia Zhiyun woke up abruptly, sitting up in bed covered in sweat.
Why, why had she been dreaming so much lately about what had happened back when she visited S Country?
She recalled how that man surnamed Ling had taken her body over and over again in S Country, and then afterward...
Rage coursed through her as she trembled uncontrollably. Frustrated, she banged her fist on her head. "Why am I so useless? After all these years, I still can’t forget that ungrateful scoundrel!"
"Mom..." Xiyan’s arms hung limply as she floated over like a ghost, her tone eerie. "You had another nightmare, didn’t you?"
"Ahaha, yes," Xia Zhiyun forced an awkward laugh and looked at Xiyan, hurriedly changing the subject. "Where’s Xiao Jue? Why aren’t you two out on a date? You young folk should take the chance to go out more."
Xiyan: "...He’s busy, overseas."
"Eh? When will he be back?"
Xiyan pouted. "I don’t know."
Just thinking about Ou Jue made her angry.
Xiyan leaned against Xia Zhiyun, wrapping her arms around her neck. "Mom, did you ever visit S Country before?"
