Chapter 437: Chapter 438: Looking for Trouble (1)

Lu Weixi was startled and almost rolled right off his lap. Qin Zhiyou quickly extended his arm and held her tight. It was only then that she noticed that it was already bright outside.

She had unexpectedly fallen asleep, though not for long. Her head still hurt a bit, but her spirit had improved somewhat.

After a few seconds of dazed confusion, she struggled to get up immediately and asked, “How is my mom doing?”

“It’s a blessing in disguise, there were no post-surgery complications. Your mother is very strong.”

After surgery, the biggest fears are things like rejection and acute failure. Once the first 24 hours are passed, the chances of complications are significantly reduced. Lu Weixi breathed a sigh of relief. Although she couldn’t enter the intensive care unit, there was round-the-clock video footage, so she could see the situation inside from outside in real-time.

The nurse had also made her rounds, everything was stable. But brain tumor surgeries can put pressure on the nerves, it’s uncertain when she would fully wake up. However, according to the surveillance, not only did her mother move her fingers, but she would also move her legs from time to time.

Of course, these movements were all involuntary. When she would wake up in full would be left up to fate.

Lu Weixi felt helpless. Perhaps she had imagined the worst yesterday, but now that her mother was showing some response, she was grateful. When she turned her head, she saw that Qin Zhiyou’s hair was a mess, his clothes were disheveled, his chin had a few scruffy hairs, his eyes even more sunken, his previously peach blossom eyes were now crimson — filled with red veins.

Seeing his state, it seems like he hadn’t slept the whole night again.

Besides, his secretary, Wang, had come to report at this time, “Manager Qin, the project team that was collaborating with the Bai Family as per your instructions has disbanded. We have notified the Bai Family that there won’t be any future collaborations. We’ve given the relevant details of the compensation matters to Legal for discussion.”

Only then was Lu Weixi somewhat surprised.

She knew Qin Zhiyou was someone who conducted business very professionally and saw his work as more important than anything else. But at this time, he resolutely tore up the contract, choosing to pay compensation rather than cooperate.

Although she didn’t think his instruction to do this was primarily because of her— it’s likely that he was enraged that Bai Changyou had bad-mouthed him in front of her mother and dragged him down with him. Regardless, his actions like this had avenged her and her mother!

As expected, Qin Zhiyou noticed her gaze on him and slightly bowed his head, rubbing his nose as he said: “Who told Bai Changyou to talk nonsense behind my back! If not for him, your mother may not have known about these matters.”

Although that’s what he said, at least the Bai Family had learned a little lesson, but that’s not enough.

Qin Zhiyou may hate it, but the Bai Family deserves to die!

Seeing Lu Weixi’s emotions gradually calming down, he immediately advised, “It’s morning now, why don’t you wash your face and freshen up a bit.”

Before Lu Weixi had a chance to refuse, Qin Zhiyou said, “I know you don’t want to leave your mother. But see, your mother is on the verge of waking up. You don’t want to face her without washing your face or brushing your teeth, right? Your mother would be uncomfortable, wouldn’t she? Anyway, Secretary Wang is here to watch. We’ll call you immediately if anything happens.”

Only then did Lu Weixi nod her head. Everything was readily available in her mother’s single room. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, and changed her clothes. By the time she returned to the front of the ICU, Qin Zhiyou had already bought her breakfast. As Lu Weixi took her breakfast, she hadn’t even started eating when suddenly, a group of people rushed in from the distant corridor like a gust of wind.
