Chapter 7 Counting on Old Mother-in-law to Make a Match
806 Words
"Mrs. Hu, time for dinner."
Nanny Wang blew the hot rice paste carefully to cool it down before feeding it to Hu Hui's mouth.
Hu Hui did not look at the food beside her lips, nor did she open her mouth. She just fixed her eyes on the photo in her hand. Tears kept flowing down.
"Mrs. Hu?"
The nanny gently called Hu Hui.
Hu Hui still remained unconcerned.
The nanny then gave a helpless look at Song Shuang who stood beside her.
Song Shuang raised his hand and took the bowl from the nanny. His long, slender fingers were strong and white.
Mrs. Wang thought Song Shuang was going to feed Hu Hui himself.
Unexpectedly, she saw Song Shuang directly pour the delicately cooked and fragrant rice paste back into the insulation box. Then he coldly said to the nanny, "Throw it away."
The nanny was stunned, "Huh?"
"I said, throw it away," Song Shuang's words were as cold as the frost of late autumn, soaking and hurting people's bones."
Mrs. Wang hesitated, but she did not dare to go against the words of Song Shuang. So she hurriedly raised her hand to close the insulation box and held it out of the room to throw it away.
As she was going out, Song Shuang coldly instructed, "In the future, nothing she gives will be allowed into this ward."
"Yes, I got it, Mr. Song."
Mrs. Wang answered with some trepidation.
Only then did Song Shuang withdraw his eyes and call the nanny in his family, "Nanny Lin, get some easy-to-digest liquid food and take it to the hospital."
Nanny Lin immediately answered.
...
After Gu Baisheng was discharged from the hospital, she always stayed at home. Her parents, Bai Dahai and Xia Juan, initially thought she was working hard to go further with Song Shuang.
Only later did they find out that the reason why Gu Baisheng uncharacteristically cooked in the kitchen every day was that she wanted to make meals for Hu Hui, Gu Baisheng's single mother who was still in the hospital.
Xia Juan and Bai Dahai immediately became unhappy.
When Gu Baisheng was going out with the insulation box containing the dinner, Bai Dahai's and Xia Juan immediately blocked the door with his wide and fat figure, looking unhappy. Like two guards, they firmly held the door of their home.
"Shengsheng, I'm not blaming you, but why are you putting your mind on something useless?"
Gu Baisheng frowned one side of her eyebrow.
Bai Dahai also turned tender and gently admonished his daughter, "My dear daughter, you have such a beautiful face, yet instead of finding a date or a relationship, you serve an old woman. How wasteful!"
Gu Baisheng frowned the other side of the eyebrow.
Bai Dahai and Xia Juan looked at each other. They held their daughter's arms, ready to drag her back to the room.
But Gu Baisheng quickly stepped back, holding the insulation box. She thought fast and said, "Mom, Dad, please look at the long term. Better to impress his heart than to approach him directly!"
Bai Dahai and Xia Juan were not highly educated, so listening to their daughter's words, they didn't quite understand.
Gu Baisheng then calmly explained to them, "You know, now Song Shuang refuses to go on a blind date with me, but he is so attached to Gu Baisheng's mother, his mother-in-law. This means he will care a lot about his old mother-in-law's mood and opinion."
"Then what do you want?" Bai Dahai touched his chin.
Gu Baisheng then answered, "Of course, to bring myself closer to this mother-in-law of Dr. Song, and then let her help me set up the relationship with Dr. Song. As long as she can help to make a match, Dr. Song will change his mind about me ."
Listening to his daughter's words, Bai Dahai felt that they made sense, so he nodded, "That's right."
"Right?"
Gu Baisheng smiled faintly, touching her father's shoulder smartly, and then bumped him away with the insulation box in her arms, taking the opportunity to slip out the door.
Seeing her daughter run away, Xia Juan rushed to catch up.
But Bai Dahai grabbed her, "All right, don't chase her. Let her go. She is right."
Xia Juan was a little angry and worried, complaining to Bai Dahai, "We only have one child. If she marries Song Shuang, but he does not treat her as a human being, isn't it better to let her stay with us?"
When Bai Dahai heard his wife's words, he immediately put on a stern face, "What are you talking about? If I don't expect her to get me a golden son-in-law, what do I need you and her for?"
Hearing this, Xia Juan silenced at once guiltily, not daring to speak again.
