Chapter 61 - Mother-in-law?!

Mother-in-law?!

Li Yuan woke up as if from a dream and remembered that he had previously instructed his subordinates to inform Wen Meng's mother, and now she was here.

Unexpectedly, he happened to catch them in the middle of a fierce fight with Huo Xiao?

A bit awkward.

Although she was not Wen Meng's biological mother, she was still her mother in name

It won't leave a bad impression on her, will it?

Liyuan stood up straight, looking into her eyes

Answered with super politeness,

"Auntie, hello, my name is Li Yuan."

Li Yuan?

This syllable sounds very familiar.

Madam Wen fell into deep thought..

The fully automatic small table on the bed unfolded,

The head nurse carefully placed the food from the insulated meal cart one by one in front of the table.

Wen Meng sat cross-legged, staring intently.

Fish, meat, shrimp, vegetables, pastries, fruits—an abundant variety, everything was there, laid out in twelve courses.

Each portion was small, but the presentation on the plate was exquisite

When it was brought to the table, it was still steaming hot, and the aroma wafted through the air

For someone who has fainted from hypoglycemia, waiting is sheer torture.

Wen Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I want to eat!

After the head nurse had arranged all the dishes, she brought up the tableware.

The cutlery was made of pure gold, with the ends of the forks and spoons shaped like adorable cartoon cat heads.

Wen Meng picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful from the thick, milky white soup

While cooking, the diced scallops, abalone, sea cucumber... all fell into her spoon at once.

Along with the delicious seafood soup, it slid into the mouth.

Delicious food brings the taste of happiness

Wen Meng was moved to tears. It was the first time she realized that hospital food could actually be so delicious!

She quickly ate up the food, and her stomach felt full.

Full of vitality.

After she was full and her brain was no longer hijacked by hunger, she suddenly remembered something.

She was no longer alone; there were still four disaster beasts at home waiting for her to return..

I just asked the head nurse, and it's been about three hours since she finished school

It's long past the time for the disaster beasts to eat; they must still be hungry!

The place she was currently in was so far from her home that she couldn't sense the disaster beasts at all.

Unable to sense them, naturally, it was also impossible to connect with them

The disaster beasts don't have light brains, if I don't go back today, they will definitely be worried.

No matter what, she had to go home!

Once I started thinking this way, my heart could no longer find peace.

Wen Meng: "Doctor, can I be discharged?"

Wu Yan was examining Wen Meng's various body check-up reports when he heard her words

Rolled his eyes inwardly.

When you arrived, you were barely breathing. We managed to save you with great difficulty, and now you want to leave the hospital immediately?

You think you're Superman or something!

Wu Yan said sternly, "Do you know you almost died?"

"I know," Wen Meng said sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life!"

She wouldn't give up or abandon, "But I really have an urgent matter and need to be discharged..."

Wu Yan: "..."

What urgent matter could a high school student like you have? Homework?

Don't love studying too much.

The college entrance examination is not the only path in life!

It's not studying..

"I have to hurry home to cook," Wen Meng whispered, "a whole family is waiting for me..."

She didn't lie.

What?!

Hurry back to cook for the family?!

Grass! (a type of plant)

Wu Yan was utterly speechless.

This young girl doesn't seem like she's been through hardships, but it turns out all her suffering is hidden in her heart. You wouldn't know if she didn't say anything.

She was already in such a state, yet she still didn't forget to cook for the whole family. This clearly shows that her family must treat her very poorly.

"They have hands and feet, don't they? Can't they do it themselves?"

Wu Yan was completely immersed in the tragic life of Wen Meng that he had imagined, embodying her despair and timidity

"Even if you can't cook, can't you order takeout for a meal?"

"Let them order takeout!"

Wen Meng: "..."

Ordering takeout? That seems a bit difficult.

In short, Wu Yan refused her request to be discharged from the hospital.

Even though all her indicators had returned to normal levels, it could be said that her physical condition was astonishingly good.

Discharge is possible, but to be on the safe side, Wu Yan thought it would be better to observe for a few more days.

Wen Meng was frustrated.

"Ms. Wen, there are a few more visitors waiting outside. Would you like to see them?"

The head nurse smiled and asked Wen Meng.

Please provide the source text you would like translated

In the hallway.

Li Yuan?!

Mrs. Wen's heart was pounding.

She felt that ever since she entered the Holy Spirit Hospital, her heart rate had never dropped below 850.

On the brink of sudden death every minute.

How could this person have the same name as Wen Xin's current boyfriend?

Perhaps it really is the same name?

After all, she sincerely hoped it was just a namesake!

And not the same person!

Mrs. Wen decided not to alert the enemy just yet.

She forced a smile, "What does your family do?"

Liyuan: Huh? Is my mother-in-law starting to check the household registration?

She is indeed interested in me, a good omen.

After returning to the Imperial Star, Li Yuan actually didn't know much about his family's business, but in reality, as the wealthiest family on the Imperial Star, the Li family was involved in almost every industry.

Since he was recently preparing for the Wenmeng Building project, he had just come into contact with the family's construction company, so he casually chose this one.

Li Yuan couldn't hide the pride between his brows, though he was responding to Mrs. Wen

But her eyes glanced at Huo Xiao.

"Aunt Wen, my family runs a construction company."

Construction company?

Architecture is an evergreen industry, and there are actually quite a few prominent families running construction companies. This alone cannot prove that this Li is the same as that Li.

Because the most profitable and largest business of the richest Li family was not construction.

Mrs. Wen smiled politely, "It must not have been easy for you either."

"Nowadays, every industry is facing difficulties, the market is saturated. It's not like those years when the cabinet was encouraging investment. Now, for small companies to carve out their own space, it's truly an uphill battle..."

"If you want to get through this harsh winter, you can't invest blindly... Keeping the money firmly in your own hands is the most crucial thing."

Madam Wen only spoke of appearances, completely unaware of the deeper truth—

The fundamental cause of these problems.

Commonly known as a little knowledge.

After all, just last month she and a few ladies she played mahjong with had signed up for some kind of high-society economics class and attended a few sessions, just to add a touch of prestige.

This gold is not easy to earn; I was not born with a knack for business

She was dozing off, but the few minutes of sudden wakefulness after she woke up allowed her to remember the professor's words, which she could now use to show off a bit.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to say these things.

A complete paper tiger; if the conversation goes any deeper, it won't take more than a few sentences for the truth to come out.

But, those few words were enough, Li Yuan was quite surprised

You understand this too?
