Chapter 1292: Rush Back
Chapter 1292: Rush Back
In the evening, Brother Ding called Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi to go out for dinner. Naturally, Ah Zhu and his men also went with them.
Jiang Yao did not know how Lu Xingzhi and Xiao Xing had arranged it. During dinner, Ah Zhu’s phone suddenly rang. Jiang Yao’s eyes were sharp—that the caller was Xiao Xing.
It was the informant.
Ah Zhu answered the call for a few seconds and then hung up… He immediately said, “Sister, that was Xiao Xing. Your mother’s family called him just now. They said that your mother had been in a car accident, and it is quite serious. They want you to go home with Changshu immediately.”
Jiang Yao immediately unleashed her acting skills. Her palm-sized face quickly lost its color. The faint smile that was on her face a second ago suddenly stiffened. The next second, her eyes reddened as she cried.
“My mother… my mother…”
Jiang Yao sobbed so hard that she could not say a word. She looked very pitiful.
“Sister, don’t be anxious—”
Ah Zhu also became anxious when he saw the young woman cry so terribly. He turned his head to look at the person beside him and said, “Changshu, comfort your wife!”
“Wife, don’t be scared. Mom will be fine. I will take you home immediately.” Lu Xingzhi hugged Jiang Yao, who was crying like crazy in his arms and looked at Brother Ding. He said, “Brother Ding, I’m sorry. I have to bring my wife back to our hometown. If you’re okay with it, I will come to Shu City to work with you after I settle the matters in my hometown.”
Actually, that was also a good opportunity for Lu Xingzhi to retreat for his next move. If he did not show his eagerness to blend into Brother Ding’s circle, Brother Ding would not suspect that he had any ulterior motives.
“You should rush home in case something happens to your mother-in-law.”
Brother Ding looked at the couple. He could not bear to see Gu Changshu’s wife crying like that. He knew that Gu Junhui and her mother had been separated for a long time, and they had just found each other again. Gu Junhui’s mother was very good to her. It was no wonder that Gu Changshu’s wife would cry like that when she heard the news.
“Then I’ll drive you back to pack your things and send you to the train station. By the way, do you have enough money on you? Do you want me to lend you some money first? You might need some for the hospital.” Ah Zhu knew that he could not help with anything else. However, it was okay to lend them some money. “Sister, don’t worry. With this money, you can go home and transfer your mother to a better hospital for treatment. A bigger hospital doctor will always have more skills.”
“Thank you, Ah Zhu.”
Jiang Yao sobbed and thanked him. “No matter how much money you lent us, Changshu and I will remember it. We may not be able to pay you back for a while, but we will work hard to earn money to return it to you.”
“We can talk about that later.”
Ah Zhu waved his hand and looked at Brother Ding. He asked, “Brother Ding, should I bring them back first?”
Brother Ding nodded. Then, he took a stack of money from his wallet and put it in front of Gu Changshu. “This is a small token from me. Take it and use it first. When things are settled at home, you can come to Shu City to look for me.”
