Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

Chapter 735 Postponement

"Hopefully."

Xu Xiao shrugged, "Are you off work? Do you want to eat hot pot together? Hot pot is best in winter."

Cheng Xi stood up and said, "I'm not going. I made an appointment to go to the hospital to have dinner with my sister in the evening."

"Okay, let me call someone else." Xu Xiao asked, "Is your sister feeling better now?"

"much better."

Cheng Xi packed her things, "She has passed the most difficult period now. The doctor said that as long as she continues to maintain this restraint, she can go home for the New Year at the end of the year, and she can receive treatment under the supervision of her family after the new year."

"That's great."

……

In the evening, Cheng Xi went to the hospital.

She didn't know whether Mu Mu was sent here. Anyway, in order to avoid running into her, she came in through the back door.

In the evening, she and Cheng Yue sat at the dining table in the ward to eat.

"I heard from Aunt Fang that you are getting engaged." Cheng Yue suddenly smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Cheng Xi: "...not necessarily."

She could only tell her about Mu's heart attack again.

Cheng Yue sighed after hearing this, "Why do I feel that our two sisters always have troubles in our relationship?"

Cheng Xi said helplessly, "Although I feel uncomfortable, I don't want to complain. After all, it is really miserable to get a serious illness. If it were my mother who had a heart disease, I would definitely be very worried."

"Don't worry, my mother has a friend whose mother had a heart disease. She later underwent surgery and lived for more than ten years."

After eating and sitting for a while, Cheng Xi went to the villa.

She waited until eleven o'clock at night but did not see Pei Yanzhou coming back, thinking that he might not come back.

After turning off the lights and lying down for half an hour, the sound of cars was heard outside.

Cheng Xi put on her clothes and walked down.

The bodyguard pushed Pei Yanzhou in from outside.

The bodyguards behind him successively brought in all the things the two of them bought in the mall.

"Are you here?" Pei Yanzhou was a little surprised, thinking she had returned to her new house.

"Your legs and feet are inconvenient. I think you have to come back to take medicine. You probably won't sleep in the hospital."

Cheng Xi bent down and asked, "How is auntie?"

Pei Yanzhou's eyebrows tightened inch by inch, "It's not good. She had palpitations and dizziness for a while. She didn't pay attention and never told anyone. When she was sent to the hospital today, her heart function was already very poor. I found some connections." I transferred her to my brother's hospital. The doctor said that my aunt's current condition is not suitable for surgery. She will need to be observed for more than a week before the surgery can be performed. But the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Even if I asked the doctor to stay and work overtime, she will work overtime at the end of the year. The nurse may not be too busy to come.”

"So... we have to wait for the doctor to go to work after the New Year?" Cheng Xi asked hesitantly.

"I'm at work at Chuliu Hospital, so the surgery will be done at that time."

The eighth day of the lunar month was the day the two of them decided to get engaged.

Pei Yanzhou didn't want to cancel at all. He finally got Cheng Xi's permission to get engaged to him.

But when he thought of the cold accusations from the Mu family in the hospital today, and Mu's mother's unwillingness to transfer to the hospital and want to fend for herself after waking up, Pei Yanzhou felt a headache.

Cheng Xi looked at him quietly for a while, not that she couldn't see his pain and struggle.

"You go take a shower first." Cheng Xi said.

"Well, you sit down. I'm too heavy. Just ask the bodyguard to help me."

……

At twelve o'clock in the night, Pei Yanzhou came in from outside on crutches and changed into clean cotton pajamas.

After the bodyguard saw that he had successfully arrived at the bedside, he immediately closed the door and left.

"Still not sleeping yet?" Pei Yanzhou deliberately took a shower downstairs, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.

"Wait for you."

Cheng Xi lay on the pillow and stared at him with dark eyes, "Did the Mu family scold you today?"

Pei Yanzhou avoided her eyes with complicated emotions.

"Did you blame me today?" Cheng Xi spoke again, with a low voice, "I really didn't know she had a heart disease."

"I know."

Pei Yanzhou gently patted the back of her hand, "Auntie is only in her fifties, and there is no genetic history of this in her family. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have heart disease at such a young age. The doctor said that it is mainly due to the physical damage done when she was young. , I said that the conditions of the Mu family were very poor before, and then they took me back. The two of us raised three children, and we were so short of money. When I was young, my aunt opened a bun shop, and she had to supervise us at night. After doing homework, after we went to bed, she had to chop stuffing until midnight, and got up at four or five in the morning to make dumplings, which was very tiring."

Cheng Xi fell silent.

In the past, she only blamed Pei Yanzhou for being too tolerant and tolerant towards the Mu family.

But I have never experienced it deeply from his standpoint.

Pei Yanzhou said, "I can't deny the changes in the Mu family's mentality over the years, but Aunt Mu will get this disease because she was more or less dragged down by my childhood."

"So..." Cheng Xi's red lips parted slightly.

"Cheng Xi, can we postpone our engagement for a while?" Pei Yanzhou pleaded, "Just postpone it for half a month."

"That's it?"

Cheng Xi smiled.

Pei Yanzhou touched his nose nervously. He was afraid that Cheng Xi would be angry, "I think there is another reason for the delay. Originally, this time it was because your Aunt Mu suddenly fainted. If we were still engaged when Aunt Mu had the surgery, I was worried about Mu My uncle won’t let Mu Xuetong testify in court for you then.”

Especially today, he truly felt his father's anger.

The lawsuit never went to trial.

Even though Pei Yanzhou hated Mu Xuetong very much, he had to endure it in order to avoid any problems in Cheng Xi's lawsuit.

As a businessman, he knows very well that when a person is still valuable, he must not do too much.

Cheng Xi was startled and covered himself with a quilt, "If you postpone it, postpone it. I didn't insist on getting engaged in the first place. You were the one who was anxious to get engaged."

That nonchalant attitude immediately made Pei Yanzhou unhappy, "You don't seem to mind at all. Do you actually not want to get engaged to me at all?"

Cheng Xi, who was suddenly wronged, laughed angrily, "Pei Yanzhou, you have to make me angry, right? It's you who said you were going to get engaged, and you're the one who postponed it. I support your decision, but you blame me in turn, right? You would be happy if I scolded you and packed up your things and left in the middle of the night."

Pei Yanzhou: "..."

He lowered his head guiltily.

That’s not what it means.

Cheng Xi snorted, "I think you are a bitch."

After saying that, she turned off the light and went to sleep directly.

Pei Yanzhou got into the quilt dejectedly and nuzzled towards her shamelessly, "Baby, don't be angry. I was a bitch just now."

"Go away, it's too hot." Cheng Xi pushed him.

"No way, it's cold now, it's only warm if two people hug each other."

Pei Yanzhou didn't care, but he relied on her to kiss and touch him anyway.

Cheng Xi wanted to kick him, but as soon as his legs moved, Pei Yanzhou said, "My feet are finally getting better. Don't kick them randomly. If you break them, I might end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life."

"I think you've adapted well to being in a wheelchair." Cheng Xi sarcastically said.
