Chapter 168: Study Well, I’ll Take Care of Mom

Her tone was almost commanding.

Jian Yu’s heart stopped for a moment. However, he felt that his sister’s tone was unquestionable. Moreover, he felt that he was guilty and in the wrong. In the end, he took off his shirt obediently.

She could see two large bruises on his chest. When he turned around, his back was filled with injuries.

Jian Ai looked at the injuries on his body and felt a sharp pain in her eyes. She opened the bottle of red medicine calmly but found that her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

At this moment, she did not break down like how she did when she found out that her mother had liver cancer. Instead, for the first time since her rebirth, she was on the verge of losing control.

She exhaled secretly. After a long while, Jian Ai forced herself to calm down. She dipped a cotton stick in the medicine and gently applied it on Jian Yu.

There was a faint pain from his injury, but Jian Yu didn’t say a word. He just looked down at his sister applying medicine for him. His eyes couldn’t help but tear up. Jian Yu quickly looked up and almost cried.

“Mom will be hospitalized tomorrow. Since you have resigned, you can go to the hospital to take care of her.” Jian Ai’s hands did not stop moving, but she suddenly spoke.

Jian Yu was stunned for a moment. He quickly asked, “Mom is in the hospital? What happened to her?”

Jian Ai’s hand froze. Then, she said calmly, “Liver cancer.”

She couldn’t and shouldn’t hide this matter from her brother, so Jian Ai told him directly.

“Wh… what?!”

Jian Yu was frightened by Jian Ai’s words. He froze for a moment, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Jian Ai sighed and looked up at Jian Yu. “Don’t worry. The experts at the First Hospital said that Mom’s condition is not serious. As long as she undergoes surgery as soon as possible, coupled with post-treatment, she will recover soon.”

Jian Ai tried to make the situation as simple as possible so that her brother could digest it more easily.

However, Jian Yu’s expression was full of regret. He didn’t expect such a big thing to happen in the few days that he was gone.

As her son, he did not know about it until his mother was hospitalized.

“Brother.” Jian Ai suddenly looked at Jian Yu with a serious face. She knew that her brother must be upset now, just like how she broke down when she found out about her mother’s condition.

But now, she had to correct her brother’s attitude. “Mom and I are both very optimistic. You are the only man in the family. You can’t collapse easily. Otherwise, do you want me to shoulder such a big family alone?”

Jian Yu looked down at his sister’s eyes. For a moment, he felt conflicted. If it wasn’t for the successive blows, he never would have felt so weak and vulnerable.

He even needed his sister to enlighten him.

Jian Ai’s words were like a blow to the head, waking Jian Yu up instantly. Yes, he was the only man in the family. No matter what happened, he should be the first to stand up and take responsibility. It had to be him!

Jian Yu looked at Jian Ai and said, “Study well. I will take care of Mom.”

…

Yaochi.

Wang Yunmei finished writing her resignation letter and handed it to her secretary. “Xiao Wang, I’ll be hospitalized tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to hand this resignation letter to the headquarters.”

Yaochi belonged to the Ji Group. Wang Yunmei was the general manager of Yaochi and part of the middle management of the company. Therefore, if she were to resign, she had to submit her resignation letter to the CEO’s office and get the personal approval of the CEO of the Ji Group.

Normally, Wang Yunmei could only officially resign after the CEO gave his approval. However, her situation was unique now, and she would be hospitalized tomorrow. Her resignation letter also mentioned her condition, so she should be understood.
