“Mom, I’ll say it again. I’m not his son, and he’s never really treated me as his son. I was born Mu Chen. I’ll still be Mu Chen in the future.’
Mrs. Bai suddenly quietened down.
Bai Chen did not speak for a long time. After about half a minute of silence,
Bai Chen asked, “What are the chances of survival after falling into the sea?”
Mrs. Bai asked in a puzzled tone, “Why are you so concerned about Shao’s life and death?”
Suddenly, Mrs. Bai seemed to have thought of something and her puzzled tone became very surprised. “You’re already 25 years old and haven’t properly fallen in love. Don’t tell me you’re gay?”
Bai Chen:
Mrs. Bai sounded even more surprised. “You’ve taken a fancy to that Shao?” Bai Chen:
The atmosphere was quiet for a few more seconds. When Mrs. Bai spoke, her tone became a little clipped. “It’s your freedom to like men, but if you really fancy that Shao, unfortunately, he probably won’t be alive.”
Bai Chen frowned. “How so?”
Mother Bai l s tone was solemn. “l heard some of Qingfengs conversation with his subordinate last night. It’s said that after Shao Jingmo fell into the sea, the cruise ship stopped on the surface of the sea and only docked when the typhoon subsided. For more than ten hours, there were members of the Bai family guarding the international sea. No other cruise ship passed within a certain distance. That’s the international sea. Shao Jingmo has no chance of survival.’
Bai Chen’s cold tone said, “The Bai family is really unprecedented in terms of ruthlessness.’
“That’s enough. Even if you really like him, you can only keep it in your heart. I’m afraid he’s already buried in the stomach of a fish.” Mrs. Bai stood up and sighed. “Rest well. I’ll go back first. Your father should come to see you later. If you’re unwilling to tell me the reason why you fell into the sea, think about how to explain it to him first.”
Bai Chen did not speak, his face cold.
Mrs. Bai did not say anything else and turned to leave. When she reached the door of the ward, she was suddenly stopped by Bai Chen and asked, “Is the Qiao family really safe?”
Mrs. Bai turned around. “1 can’t guarantee anything, but out of fear, the Bai family won’t touch anyone in the Qiao family for at least ten years. After all, the Qiao family’s lifeline was saved by Shao Jingmo.”
Bai Chen sneered and lowered his eyes to mutter to himself, “A life for a life. How can I compare to him?”
Mrs. Bai took half a step back. “What did you say?”
“I said, you can go.” Bai Chen lay down and pulled the blanket up to cover his head.
Mrs. Bai was displeased. “The white blanket in the hospital is only used when someone dies.’
Bai Chen said, “It’s about the same.’
Mrs. Bai did not do anything but say, “Young brat, I’ll count to three.” As soon as she finished counting one, Bai Chen pulled the blanket off his face. “You just have to let me take action.” Mrs. Bai t s anger dissipated and she opened the door to leave.
Bai Chen glanced at the door, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed to go to the toilet. Before he could shuffle on his slippers, the ward door opened again.
Bai Chen was very unhappy. “Mom, is there anything you can’t…” His voice trailed off. Because Bai Chen saw that the person who opened the door was not Mrs. Bai, but— ‘Qiao Qiao.”
Bai Chen’s tone was clearly filled with surprise. Ever since he woke up last night, he had been asking the nurse from time to time if Qiao Qiao had woken up. He heard that she woke up, even the precise time that she woke up.
However, he did not manage to visit her, afraid that he would bring her to the Bai family.
He had been thinking about her. He would never have expected her to come to him when she woke up.
At this moment, Bai Chen looked a little confused. Until Qiao Qiao walked up to him step by step with a thermos box and called out, “Bai Chen.”
Bai Chen slowly stood up straight. Because Qiao Qiao had come so suddenly, he was at a loss for a moment. “Why are you here? Look at how pale you are. You should lie down and rest well. I was going to visit you when I was discharged.”
Qiao Qiao turned around and placed the thermos box on the cabinet by the bed. She asked casually, “You knew I was awake?”
Bai Chen came over. “l asked the nurse. I didn’t come to see you immediately because I was afraid of accidentally bringing the rest of the Bai family here. By the way, what did you bring?”
“It’s food. My mother made it.” Qiao Qiao opened the lid of the thermos box and turned to him. “l don’t have much of an appetite yet. I can’t eat. I knew you were still in the hospital, so I brought it to you. I haven’t eaten it before. It’s very clean. And… thank you for saving me this time..”
