Chapter 45

Time was pressing, and Tang Yu hailed a taxi to go straight to the People's Hospital. In the hospital corridor, Tang Yu saw Liu Xin squatting on a long bench.

"Xinjie!" Tang Yu called out anxiously.

"Tang Yu!" Liu Xin turned her head and saw that Tang Yu was still holding the hand of another pretty girl. A hint of sorrow crept into Liu Xin's heart as she walked over to Tang Yu.

"Xinjie, how is my mom?" Tang Yu asked directly. Chu Yarou, whose hand was being held by Tang Yu, couldn't easily pull away. However, when she saw the sexy beauty Liu Xin, she was also surprised. Tang Yu's sister was actually so beautiful?

"Tang Yu, Aunt Wu has acute appendicitis and is currently in surgery," Liu Xin said directly.

"Ah..." Tang Yu's face turned pale. How could this happen so suddenly?

"Tang Yu, don't worry, Aunt Wu will be fine," Liu Xin reassured him, seeing the worried and anxious look in his eyes.

At this moment, a nurse came out of the operating room.

"Who is the patient's family?" the nurse asked, wearing a mask, to the three of them.

"It's me!" Tang Yu quickly said, "How is my mom?"

"She is being resuscitated. Her condition is more serious than we expected, so the surgery will be more complex. The money you paid earlier is not enough; you need to pay an additional 50,000 yuan," the nurse told Tang Yu.

"An additional 50,000!" Tang Yu was stunned. Where could he get 50,000 yuan?

"Okay, use the best medicine. Money is not a problem. Take me to pay," Liu Xin said to the nurse.

The nurse looked at Liu Xin with a surprised expression. Liu Xin was so elegant and intellectual, and what was her relationship with this young man and the simply dressed beauty? The nurse was a bit envious of Tang Yu, who had two such beautiful women by his side.

"Xinjie, you..." Tang Yu was stunned. This meant that Liu Xin had already paid the medical fees, which must have been at least a few ten thousand yuan. And now another 50,000 was needed.

Liu Xin pouted her cherry lips at Tang Yu: "Wait here, I'll be back soon."

"Um..." Tang Yu nodded hard. What else could he do without Liu Xin's money? Tang Yu felt for the first time how bitter life could be without money. With Liu Xin here, it was fine, but what if she wasn't here? Although Liu Xin and he had a special relationship, he couldn't keep using her money.

Tang Yu suddenly had the idea of quickly accumulating a fortune. Otherwise, the next time he needed a lot of money, he wouldn't know what to do.

But what Tang Yu was worried about now was Wu Xiuhua. He didn't know how she was. He would think about making money after she was fine.

Chu Yarou looked at Tang Yu. Now she knew that Liu Xin was not Tang Yu's real sister. Why was she so good to Tang Yu and his mother? Chu Yarou was puzzled. Seeing Tang Yu's anxious face, Chu Yarou also felt very distressed. She understood this feeling the most because Chu Fengsheng was still in a coma.

She slowly walked up and gently comforted him: "Tang Yu, Auntie will be fine, don't worry."

Tang Yu looked up at the beautiful Chu Yarou, surprised that she was by his side at this moment. He forced a smile: "Yeah, Yarou, thank you."

"Don't say that, you've helped me a lot too," Chu Yarou said.

Just as Tang Yu was about to speak, Liu Xin walked up, "The money has been paid, the surgery is ongoing."

"Um, Xinjie, thank you." Tang Yu realized that besides saying thank you, he really didn't know how to repay Liu Xin.

Liu Xin smiled slightly: "No need to thank me. The surgery will take another one or two hours. Do you want to send your classmate back?"

"Ah... I, I'll wait here until Auntie is fine and then go back," Chu Yarou said directly. She couldn't leave at this moment.

"It might be very late," Liu Xin reminded her.

"It's okay," Chu Yarou smiled with a blush. Looking at Liu Xin, her heart pounded. Although she and Tang Yu had nothing, she insisted on staying, which could easily be misunderstood. But she couldn't care less. After the pain of Chu Fengsheng, she didn't want Tang Yu's mother to have any problems.

"Xinjie, let her stay," Tang Yu also said.

Liu Xin shrugged and nodded. The three of them sat and waited until it was dark. The doctor finally came out, fortunately, Wu Xiuhua was fine. They waited a few more hours until Wu Xiuhua woke up.

"Mom!" Tang Yu looked at the waking Wu Xiuhua, extremely moved.

"Ah, I, I'm in the hospital. Xiao Yu, how much did it cost for me?" Wu Xiuhua asked weakly.

Hearing this, Tang Yu felt extremely heartbroken.

"Aunt Wu, don't worry about the money. It's fine as long as you're okay," Liu Xin said with a smile.

"Xiaoxin, you paid for it, didn't you?" Wu Xiuhua immediately understood.

Liu Xin smiled and nodded.

"We'll pay you back when we have the money," Wu Xiuhua said.

Liu Xin could only nod slightly.

Wu Xiuhua then saw the beautiful Chu Yarou. Seeing her simple attire, she seemed to be from an ordinary family. Looking at Tang Yu, she seemed to understand something.

"Auntie, how are you feeling now?" Chu Yarou asked gently.

"Um, much better. Are you Xiao Yu's girlfriend? You're so beautiful," Wu Xiuhua said with a smile.

Wu Xiuhua rarely interfered in Tang Yu's life. She knew Tang Yu had his own mind and wouldn't go astray. She also knew Tang Yu's abilities; he could pursue anyone he wanted.

Now, knowing that Tang Yu's grades wouldn't allow him to get into a good university, she was already very pleased that he was attending classes honestly. She planned to have Tang Yu repeat a year, which should be fine. For now, she would let him be. Dating was fine, but she absolutely wouldn't let him get involved with a rich family's daughter; that had caused them too much trouble before!

Seeing the beautiful and gentle Chu Yarou, Wu Xiuhua was very satisfied. She was very beautiful and had a good temperament. Most importantly, she didn't have the sharpness of a rich family's daughter but was gentle and delicate, making one feel protective. If the Tang family could have such a daughter-in-law, Wu Xiuhua would have no regrets.

"Mom, you misunderstood. Yarou and I are not in a romantic relationship," Tang Yu said, not wanting to make Chu Yarou uncomfortable.

"Ah... not? Oh, I'm sorry, Yarou, I misunderstood."

"Hehe, it's okay. We are often misunderstood... Um, Auntie, it's getting late, I should go home, or my mom will worry," Chu Yarou said, looking at Wu Xiuhua and Liu Xin.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, go see Yarou out," Wu Xiuhua said with a smile. But she felt very regretful. She had decided that once she was fully recovered, she would talk to Tang Yu and encourage him to stay in touch with Chu Yarou. Her son was so excellent; he should be able to pursue the girl.

Liu Xin seemed to understand Wu Xiuhua's thoughts and felt a bit sad, though she knew she couldn't stay here for long, her feelings for Tang Yu were growing stronger.

"Aunt Wu, the doctor said you can go home to recover. We'll go back later."

"Um, okay, thank you, Xiaoxin. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do today," Wu Xiuhua said gratefully to Liu Xin.

"Aunt Wu, we're like family anyway, why be so formal?" Liu Xin said, holding Wu Xiuhua's hand.

Wu Xiuhua nodded: "Yes, it really feels like family. Ah, if you were my daughter, that would be great."

"That's not a problem. I can be your daughter-in-law," Liu Xin joked. But as she said this, she felt a strange sensation, a deep longing.

"Hehe, you, always making me happy. Xiaoxin, if you don't mind, be my goddaughter. I've always wanted to say this but never had the courage. Are you willing?" Wu Xiuhua looked at Liu Xin with a hopeful expression.

Liu Xin was startled. For some reason, a thought flashed through her mind: It's just a goddaughter, not a real daughter, so there's no guilt in being with Tang Yu. She said happily: "Um, okay. Godmother!"

"Ah, good, good, good daughter." Wu Xiuhua was overjoyed.

Tang Yu and Chu Yarou didn't attend classes in the afternoon. Tang Yu told Xu Xi and asked him to take a leave for Chu Yarou from her class teacher.
