016: Is Su Nuannuan an illegitimate daughter?

The two security guards looked utterly disdainful.

Compared to the Li Family, what was the Gu family?

Although they were also a prestigious family, they weren't on the same level at all!

Madam Gu was simply overestimating her own importance!

Seeing that even mentioning the entire Gu family didn't affect the attitudes of the two security guards, Madam Gu couldn't help frowning and wondered about the identity of that young man from earlier.

Then, she remembered the guards had addressed him as Young Master... and that this hospital was owned by the Li Family.

Oh my God.

In an instant, Madam Gu quieted down.

Without shouting or causing a scene, she allowed the security guards to usher her out of the hospital, hurriedly leaving in a disheveled state.

In the ward, only Su Yumei and Li Yanchen remained, creating an awkward atmosphere for a moment.

After pouring Li Yanchen a glass of boiled water, Su Yumei didn't know what to say next. She was visibly uneasy, as though she was unaccustomed to such situations.

Fortunately, Li Yanchen took the initiative to start a conversation, "Aunt Su, where is your daughter?"

"Nuannuan should be asleep at home around this time," she replied.

Her biological mother was seriously ill in the hospital and she was not by her side, but instead sleeping comfortably at home?

Her name might be Nuannuan, but she didn't seem warm at all...

Li Yanchen raised an eyebrow but didn't pursue the conversation.

However, Su Yumei appeared to sense something and took it upon herself to explain, "Nuannuan works the night shift, which is always tough. She usually sleeps at home in the morning, brings me lunch at noon, and spends time with me in the hospital... Then she goes to work at night."

Working night shifts?

Li Yanchen's expression showed his understanding; working at the nightclub in the Capital was indeed a quick way to earn money, also a place where gold-diggers congregated.

Because there were many wealthy people there.

Seeing that he was listening seriously, Su Yumei couldn't help but elaborate.

"Nuannuan is young and quite stubborn... Yanchen, please be patient with her. She has been through a lot with me since she was little, enduring many hardships. Even if I undergo surgery and continue to live, my health will be compromised. I won't be much help to her..."

A hint of scorn flickered in Li Yanchen's eyes.

Was she trying to entrust her daughter to someone else...

Well, it was his debt to pay.

He nodded and said, "Aunt Su, rest assured. If I promised to marry her, I will certainly take good care of her."

But don't expect anything beyond that.

He wasn't a saint.

Su Yumei, delighted, said, "Yanchen, you are a good kid. With your word, I can be at peace..."

"Is Su Nuannuan the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family?" Li Yanchen suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the color drained from Su Yumei's face...

Nobody knew what Su Yumei and Li Yanchen talked about in the ward that day.

The security guards outside only knew that after Young Master Li left, the female patient in the ward sat motionless on her bed, silent for a long, long time.

Su Nuannuan woke up past ten in the morning at home and, feeling cheerful, went to the nearby market to buy groceries, and prepared a lavish lunch for her mother.

After packing the lunch in a thermal container, she left for the hospital cheerfully twisting the container, delighted. It was payday!

She finally had a reason to make her mother happy.

A week passed, and her mother treated her with the same cold indifference as that day, barely willing to say more than a few words to her.

The bond between mother and daughter seemed to have become as distant as strangers since that day.

Su Nuannuan's mood was also very depressed, such that the employees she managed never saw her in a good mood.

Even Young Master Qin, who always enjoyed causing trouble in the nightclub to draw attention from their boss, didn't dare to stir up trouble these past few days.

It was only last night, after the boss paid their wages, that a hint of a smile began to appear on her face.

In high spirits, Su Nuannuan, radiant, arrived at the hospital and entered her mother's ward, only to find it empty.

In that instant, a pang of anxiety gripped her heart... Damn it, her mother couldn't have run away from home angry with her, could she!
