<strong>Capítulo 1469: Chapter 1482</strong>
Shanghai.
An Ruoxi was well aware that she and Wei Yu were not people from the same world.
No matter where he went, he carried an aura with him. Though he was not quite a star, his fame surpassed that of celebrities. It was not because he was the second son of the Wei family, but because he had created legend after legend in recent months. His presence was constantly featured on the financial news channels, and he had be a benchmark for the new generation. Even the entertainment industry was eager to dig up any scrap of news about his love life, even if it was just scandalous gossip.
Yet, in this world, there was only one Wei Yu, and besides a rumor of him being gay, there was nothing else about him to find.
From head to toe, everything about him was custom-made. Even his wristwatch was a unique piece. Although he sometimes drove her insane, she had to admit, his distinguished poise and the powerful aura he carried made him the most charming and formidable man she had ever encountered so far.
But someone like him actually needed to register a marriage with a woman he had known for less than a month…
Either he had lost his mind, or she was feverish and confused!
But…
Does this mean she might still have some allure?
Stop!
An Ruoxi, are you a pig?
Now is not the time for narcissism!
Annoyed, she knocked on her head and said to Wei Yu, “You better find someone else, no matter how much money it is, I won’t do it.”
Wei Yu seemed to have anticipated her decision. He maintained a cold expression in response to her refusal, without any noticeable change.
He started the car and drove away from the Old Mansion.
Throughout the ride, An Ruoxi was on edge. Given her refusal, she assumed he would propose some astonishing offer, or perhaps, he would force her to agree to the marriage, whether she wanted to or not.
But he remained silent.
A strange sense of unease and inexplicable fear rose within her, leaving her at a loss.
“You haven’t visited your mother in the hospital today, have you?”
Wei Yu suddenly asked.
Generally, An Ruoxi would report to the hospital every day, especially after the surgery, she went even more frequently.
But every time she went, she found various excuses, and it was always when Wei Yu was not at home.
An Ruoxi looked at him in astonishment, her eyes wide like saucers. How did he know mother was hospitalized?
Moreover, she realized they were not heading to Wei Yu’s private vi, but…
On the way to the hospital!
Unexpectedly, he had investigated everything about her thoroughly, even knowing which hospital her mother was staying in…
“Do you want to ask how I know?”
An Ruoxi shook her head, not wanting to ask, nor did she need to. A person who had moved into one’s home after two meetings would need to be well-informed about her background to be a trustworthy choice.
But she had never thought about this.
The stories she concocted every time she went to the hospital now seemed so clumsy, even she thought they were full of holes, but he always responded with just a perfunctory “Hmm.”
So he had known all along!
Suddenly, she thought of certain scenes from TV dramas and novels, swallowed hard, and with a mix of nervousness and fear, looked at him sideways and asked, “You? You’re not nning to do something to my mother, are you?”
Wei Yu raised an eyebrow, forming a charming curve. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, which exuded a chilling gaze. “Thank you for the reminder.”
An Ruoxi stared at him in a daze for a while before calming her overly tense nerves.
“If you are, I’ll fight you to the death.”
Novelnice.
This wasn’t a bluff; she truly would!
Wei Yu cast a sidelong nce, clearly not taking her powerless warning seriously. His thin lips parted slightly, but he said nothing.
“I wonder, Mr. Wei, what method you n to use against us mother and daughter?”
An Ruoxi spoke heavily, her words tinged with anger, deliberately held in check.
“I heard your mother had surgeryst week, and an internationally renowned expert was consulted to diagnose her again.”
“…”
How did he know…?
“But, I heard due to the cold snap, the experts can’t make it next week.”
“…”
How did she not know about this?
The next moment, the melodious sound of a ringtone echoed in the car. An Ruoxi, still processing Wei Yu’s words and judging their truth, instinctively reached for her phone and answered it…
Whatever the caller said, it made An Ruoxi’s face turn pale as a sheet.
The content of the call was the same as what Wei Yu had said.
“Did you manipte all this?” An Ruoxi clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed red from holding back, her eyes brimming with tears.
Her mother was her Achilles’ heel.
Stubborn as she was, she forced herself not to cry.
“I don’t have the power to control such a colossal cold snap, An Ruoxi. You’re giving me too much credit.”
“…”
Scorching tears rolled down her cheeks, dripping onto the back of her hand…
In the end, she couldn’t hold it in.
“Let’s go in first.”
Unknowingly, he had already parked the car at the hospital entrance. An Ruoxi got out without even saying thank you and didn’t notice that as she hurried into the hospital, a tall figure followed at an unhurried pace behind her…
His arrival caused a stir.
But he remained unmoved, his gaze locked on the flustered figure not far away.
As soon as An Ruoxi entered An Sufang’s ward, she saw three or five doctors in white coats surrounding the bed, speaking in English she couldn’t understand.
Hearing the voices, she instinctively looked up to see their features clearly—high noses, blue eyes, fair skin, and handsome features with fluent English. They were definitely foreigners.
Scanning around, she noticed Dr. Liu standing on the edge, nodding, and indicated towards the foreigners, asking, “Dr. Liu, this is…?”
Dr. Liu nced at the figure following her and stopped at the ward’s door. Instead of answering An Ruoxi’s question, he respectfully, as if meeting someone important, cheerfully walked toward the entrance.
“President Wei, everything has been arranged.”
An Ruoxi turned to look. She nced at Wei Yu still standing at the door. At this moment, he was discussing something with Dr. Liu, listening intently with slightly lowered eyes.
Perhaps sensing something, he followed her gaze, and their eyes met, joining in the air.
Wei Yu paused for a second before withdrawing his gaze, his expression still indifferent.
The foreigners, upon seeing him, set down their cases and approached Wei Yu to greet him.
Judging by their expressions, it was clear they respected Wei Yu greatly. Each of them shook hands with him, and he began speaking fluent English with them.
The content, she also couldn’t understand.
“Ruoxi?” An Sufangy on the bed, her face full of kindness. She tugged at An Ruoxi’s clothes, pulling her back from her thoughts.
