Chapter 2043 - 673: The Diva’s Birthday Invitation
Rongcheng Second People’s Hospital.
The sky outside the window gradually turned a shade of orange-red.
After completing the discharge procedures, Cheng Qiuyu returned to the ward absent-mindedly.
"Miss Cheng!" "Miss Cheng!"
The Shengtang Security guards stationed at the door slightly bowed.
Cheng Qiuyu quickly returned the gesture with a slight bow before walking briskly into the ward.
Lawyer Luo Bin had left nearly an hour ago, but she was still somewhat in a daze.
It felt like she was dreaming.
Of course, she knew how impressive Tang Song was; she had witnessed his grandeur during the team-building event at Wu Mountain.
But she never expected that Tang Song would care about her so much.
Yan City and Rong City are 1300 kilometers apart.
Yet even with his busy schedule, he silently paid attention to her situation.
He even found a lawyer and security for her in advance.
For Cheng Qiuyu, who had always lacked a sense of security and belonging since childhood, the emotional impact was beyond words.
She didn’t even know how to say "thank you" to Tang Song.
So, until now, she didn’t dare to call him.
Seeing her daughter walk in, the restless Li Meihua immediately approached and grabbed her daughter’s hand.
She first cautiously glanced at the black-suited guards outside the door before pulling Qiuqiu to the far side of the ward.
In a voice only the two of them could hear, she urgently asked, "Qiuqiu, who exactly is this President Tang?"
She had held this question back for three whole hours.
Earlier, the ward was crowded, and she didn’t dare to ask much.
Now, it was finally just the two of them, mother and daughter.
The impact on Li Meihua from those great lawyers she had only seen in news reports, those black-suited bodyguards she thought only existed in TV dramas, and the deferential attitude of Xuyuan Real Estate and Lion Security, was enormous.
Qiuqiu was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "He’s the boss of the company I’m currently working for."
"Boss?" Li Meihua was stunned, "You mean the new company with a monthly salary of over ten thousand that you mentioned? Why is he helping us so much?"
Qiuqiu bit her lip, her expression becoming unnatural, and she didn’t answer her mother’s question.
Li Meihua’s heart skipped a beat as she stared intensely into her daughter’s eyes, "Could it be... he has some interest in you?"
"Don’t say that!" Qiuqiu lowered her head and sat down on a bench in the corner, "Don’t interfere with my affairs."
Watching her daughter like this, Li Meihua instantly understood something.
This was her flesh and blood; even if they lacked communication, she knew what kind of person Qiuqiu was.
If there was truly nothing, with her cold and stubborn nature, she would have immediately refuted, rather than implicitly admit as she did now.
This meant that she indeed had some ambiguous relationship with this mysterious boss.
Logical, too; if not for this special intimate relationship, why would he help you so much?
Mobilizing such resources? Does he have nothing better to do?
She grabbed her daughter’s arm tightly, her face full of panic, "Qiuqiu... What on earth is going on?! Xiao Gao told me you had a boyfriend in Yan City, a scumbag who was seeing multiple people at once! So now, where did this boss come from? What’s really happening here?!"
Cheng Qiuyu looked at her mother, pursed her lips, and finally spoke, "The two people you’re talking about are actually the same person."
Hearing this, Li Meihua was completely dumbfounded: "What... this..."
She never expected that the "damned scumbag" she had been cursing behind her back, her daughter’s boyfriend, was actually the impressive boss they were facing now.
This scenario was entirely beyond her cognitive range.
At this moment, Qiuqiu added another sentence that made her even more confused: "And he’s not my boyfriend, so stop saying that."
Li Meihua gripped tightly.
A terrifying thought emerged from her heart.
Not a boyfriend?
Could she be a kept woman?
Once that thought surfaced, she couldn’t suppress it anymore.
She had clawed her way through society’s lower rungs for half her life, seen the dirtiest things, heard the nastiest talk from the restaurant kitchens, and mixed places of all walks of life.
A rich boss and a young, pretty female subordinate.
Is there any need to guess what goes on behind the scenes?
Her family owes this person such a big favor; why would such a boss work so hard for them if not for her daughter’s looks?
No wonder... No wonder Qiuqiu was getting such a high salary right after graduation.
A flood of humiliation, mixed with anger at her daughter’s perceived lack of ambition, surged in her heart.
The daughter she had pinned all her hopes on, who she took pride in, had taken this path?
She opened her mouth, looking at her daughter’s defiant face, but the prepped questions wouldn’t come out.
Because she knew it was her incompetence that made her daughter suffer all these years.
It was her poor judgment that lost the last savings.
Now, it was this great boss who spent money and exerted effort to pull them out of the mire, hire the nation’s best lawyer, and bring in bodyguards to protect them.
What right did she have to scold?
Thinking of the "boss" who might be her age, and her daughter, like a blossoming flower.
Li Meihua was so heartbroken that she couldn’t breathe.
