Chapter 677 - Stupid woman, our contract has just started.
Watching the passing scenery outside the car window, the itch in her heart calmed down.
She turned her head to look at the man driving the car.
Even now, she still found all these hard to believe.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
She coughed lightly and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
At this, Ji Ziming, whose eyes were fixed straight ahead, glanced at her briefly.
“May I ask our CEO Ji what nature of our relationship is now?”
Patient? Zhang Manhua?
“I-I am! She’s my mother. Did something happen to her?” she frantically asked.
She had just talked to her mother on the phone the other day; why did she suddenly become a hospital patient today?
“Oh, this miss, please relax. Your mother isn’t seriously ill. She just caught a fever…”
Although the nurse calling explained in detail that her mother was not gravely ill, she still felt immensely worried.
“What’s wrong?”
He noticed that her worried look and asked her concernedly.
“My mom got a fever and is now in the hospital.” She pursed her lips with a panicky look.
“Don’t worry; we’ll reach the capital in half an hour.”
As he said that, the car’s speedometer shot upward.
To begin with, they were already on their way to the capital, so they were truly not far from their destination.
“Mhm.” She nodded but still felt worried.
“Other than a fever, is auntie okay?” he pressed on concernedly, flooring the accelerator.
“That nurse said that my mom only has a fever and no other illness. Luckily, before she fainted, she managed to call for an ambulance, or else I really don’t know…”
Her hands balled up into tight fists.
Noting the self-deprecating look on her face, he lifted his right hand away from the steering wheel and gently held hers.
“This is just an accident. It’s not your fault.”
“Mhm…” she softly hummed in reply.
“How about this: after the New Year, don’t go back to Tianjin and just accompany me and auntie in the capital?” he suggested, still holding her hand.
“No, I haven’t—”
She moved to reject his suggestion, but before she could do so, he interrupted her.
“There’s nothing that can’t be done. I’ll inform my dad on my end.”
The hand that held hers tightened as he looked at her resolutely.
“I know all about the changes you’ve made at Jiaheng. You’ve already done well, so regarding my father’s task, you’ve long passed it. Don’t think too much about this now.”
