Dong Shan had been hospitalized for three days before insisting on being discharged.
She didn't return to the home she shared with Qiao Zhengchong but dragged her sickly self to her small apartment.
Chi Yue stayed with her at the hospital for two days and accompanied her home when she was discharged.
In the "Asia 5A Beauty Spot" group, friends teased Chi Yue, saying she was astute for having won over her future mother-in-law early on, which would spare her some troubles when she married into the Qiao family.
Chi Yue watched their joy with a smile and didn't argue, knowing clearly in her heart that her care for Dong Shan stemmed from her own intentions. Seeing Dong Shan in her current dull plight, in some ways, reminded her of Chi Yan. When she took care of Dong Shan, a part of her feelings paralleled those she felt for Chi Yan.
They were both victims of the Qiao Rui'an incident, and Chi Yue empathized with them.
Besides, what was there to please about Dong Shan?
