“What kind of woman is she that you’re unable to let go?”

Mother Li sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, “You’ve never been so careless. You know the rules of wealthy families. The Zhou family and the Li family have agreed on a marriage alliance. How can you not keep your word?”

Li Jingran’s face was tense and didn’t say a word.

Mother Li saw that he was silent, so she sighed deeply and did not say anything anymore.

A few hours later, the door of the resuscitation room was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat walked out.

“Doctor, how is my husband?”

Mother Li rushed over anxiously and pulled the doctor. She asked, “Is his life still in danger?”

The doctor took off his mask and said seriously, “The patient’s life is temporarily out of danger, but he still needs to be observed and recuperate for a period of time.”

“During this period of time, we can’t let the patient get emotional again, or it will cause a great shock to him.”

Mother Li nodded repeatedly. “Yes, we all know.”

Li Jingran then followed Mother Li to the ward to visit Father Li.

Father Li was lying on the hospital bed, with various tubes inserted into his body, so he had not woken up for the time being.

Mother Li leaned against the head of the bed and wept. “Jingran, your father’s body really can’t take it anymore. You shouldn’t bring up the matter of canceling the engagement during this period of time.”

Li Jingran clenched his fists as he endured the pain. His eyes were dark and unreadable. “Mmm.”

Walking out of the ward, he opened the ventilation window in the corridor and smoked one cigarette after another.

The colors of the night were reflected through the window. His cold side profile was tinged with a hint of loneliness.

At this moment, what was Xu Wanwan doing?

The thought of her staying at Li Xuyi’s house made Li Jingran’s heart clench.

The next day, Father Li’s condition improved and he was transferred from the intensive care unit to a normal ward.

‘When Li Jingran went in to visit him, Mother Li was peeling an apple. Her low voice can be heard outside the ward.

“This child, Jingran, has been very obedient since he was young. He spent a lot of effort to inherit the Li Group.”

“Maybe he didn’t do it on purpose yesterday… Don’t be angry with him when you see him later. I’ll persuade him to not break off the engagement.”

Father Li grunted. “How can he break off the engagement just like that? As long as I’m here, he won’t break off the engagement.”

Li Jingran’s eyes darkened and he strode inside. “Dad, take good care of your body.”

Father Li was still dissatisfied with him. “If you want my body to be fine, then don’t get me angry all day.”

Li Jingran didn’t argue anymore and nodded lightly. “Mmm.”

“By the way, give your brother a call and ask him to come to the hospital,” Mother Li suddenly said as she thought of something.

Li Jingran nodded and walked out of the ward to make a call to Li Xuyi.

After hanging up the phone, the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor came from the corridor behind him.

“Jingran, how is Uncle?”

With a cold face, Li Jingran turned around and saw Zhou Lin holding a fruit basket and standing outside the ward in a hurry.

His eyes became colder and colder. “Who told you to come?”

“Jingran, I heard that Uncle is sick and is in the hospital. I was very worried,” Zhou Lin looked anxious and worried. “So I came to the hospital without permission and wanted to visit Uncle.”

“You are not welcome here. Get out!” Li Jingran narrowed his cold eyes, and his tone was even colder and more threatening.

“You little brat, how can you talk like that?” Mother Li happened to come out of the ward and heard the conversation between the two of them. “Her intentions are good, and you’re giving this attitude?”

Li Jingran looked impatient and tured around to leave.

Zhou Lin saw the way he disdained her and her expression sank slightly. She said dejectedly, “Auntie, please don’t blame Jingran.”

“Uncle must be in a bad mood because he’s sick this time, but this is all forgivable.”

The more Mother Li looked at Zhou Lin, the more she liked her, and from the bottom of her heart, she said, “Xiao Lin, there aren’t many girls like you who are considerate nowadays. If our Li Jingran has wronged you in the future, you must tell me in time.”

“Auntie, what are you talking about? We will be a family in the future.”

‘As Zhou Lin said that, she smiled and held Mother Li’s arm, trying to please her.

Mother Li was coaxed by her that she couldn’t help smiling from ear to ear.

“Okay, okay, we will be a family in the future.”

The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the ward. Father Li was a little surprised to see Zhou Lin, but his reaction was very happy.

“Uncle, I was really worried when I heard that you were in the hospital, so I didn’t inform you in advance and came to see you.” Zhou Lin put the fruit basket on the table and spoke with a faint smile.

Father Li was in a good mood. “It’s rare for you to miss me. I’m fine.”

After talking for a while, Mother Li became lively with Zhou Lin. She sighed and said, “To tell you the truth, your uncle was brought to the hospital this time because of that brat Li Jingran.”

“Ah? How can that be?” Zhou Lin pretended to be surprised.

“Sigh, it’s our fault for not teaching him well,” Mother Li said in a low voice. “I won’t hide it from you. Li Jingran has always had a girl by his side pestering him. That’s why he had the idea of breaking off the engagement.”

“Xiao Lin, I have a favor to ask of you. You have to promise me.”

Zhou Lin behaved obediently. “Auntie, if there’s anything you need from me, you can tell me.”

Mother Li did not hide anything and said directly, “I hope that you can help Jingran and make him stop getting involved with other women.”

“Yes! This matter cannot continue to develop like this!” Father Li said after hearing that.

Acold light flashed in Zhou Lin’s eyes, but she agreed. “Auntie, don’t worry. I will definitely treat Jingran well.”

“Lbelieve that one day, his heart will belong to me.”

“That’s good. With you by his side, we will be at ease,” Mother Li could not help but say as she held Zhou Lin’s hand.

“Okay! I still have to go to work today. I’ll come to see you when I’m free.” Zhou Lin stood up and looked at Father Li with a smile.

“Okay, let Li Jingran send you off.”

Zhou Lin left with a smile. When she walked out of the ward, she looked up and saw Li Jingran standing outside the corridor.

Her red lips curved slightly as she walked over in her high heels. “Li Jingran, Uncle is seriously ill now. I don’t think you’d want to see him fall ill again, right?”

“If you want Uncle to live through this period of time unscathed, it’s best that you don’t bring up the matter of canceling the engagement again. After all, it doesn’t matter much to me, but to you, it concerns Uncle’s health.”

“Are you threatening me?” Li Jingran glanced at her coldly. His entire body was cold and threatening, and there was a hint of disgust in his tone.

“Why would I threaten you?” Zhou Lin was still smiling generously, but her eyes were cold.

She didn’t believe that Li Jingran would disregard her father’s health and make a big fuss.

He wanted to break off the engagement with her? No way!

“Okay, I’ve already reminded you of what you should be reminded of.” Zhou Lin carried her bag and turned to leave. She said, “I think you know in your heart what you should do..”
