Chapter 784: Did She Know?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The original owner was stunned.
It took her a few seconds to react.
She looked at Xu Mingzhi in disbelief.
She could not read her expression, but at least, she did not look angry.
She thought that her mother would reprimand her after she found out that she had sneaked out. Not only did she not, she even agreed to let her leave the hospital and bring her home?
“Really? Can I really be discharged?”
Xu Mingzhi nodded and looked at Wei Wei.
Wei Wei understood. “Director Xu, Miss, you guys chat first. I’ll call the doctor now. ”
The original owner’s mood was immediately lifted.
Early the next morning, Wei Wei helped her complete the discharge
procedures.
The original owner had also packed all her things.
In the ward, Xu Mingzhi picked up a third work call. Her tone was as swift and decisive as usual, calm in the face of change, and full of gray humor and sarcasm.
“I was only away from the office for a morning. Don’t tell me you can’t even handle such a small matter. Gao, you’re more than two decades older than my daughter. Do you still need me to teach you step by step?”
The original owner looked over. At this moment, her mother was standing in front of the window with her back facing her. One hand was holding the phone to her ear, and the other hand was supporting the elbow of the other hand. She stood arrogantly.
Although her words were sarcastic, her tone was extremely calm.
The original owner could not help but be stunned.
This was the first time she had spent so much time with her mother. It turned out that her mother was such a strong woman.
Compared to her father, who was very soft-hearted and did not have any discerning ability, of course, she preferred to live with her mother.
She was lost in her thoughts when Xu Mingzhi hung up the phone and turned to look at her.
The original owner had already packed all the things.
“Why didn’t you ask the nurse to help?” Xu Mingzhi asked, her expression indifferent.
The original owner smiled happily and said in a half-joking tone, “mom, you forgot? The nurse was fired by you yesterday.”
Xu Mingzhi paused for a moment before raising her eyebrows.
She had indeed forgotten.
Ever since she received the call from Pei Huai yesterday, she was distracted.
“When you get home, tell Aunt Wu to do anything. She’s smart and can take good care of you.”
“Thank you, mom.”
She jumped out of bed and took out several bags with brand logos printed on them from under the bed.
Since her mother already knew that she often sneaked out a while ago, there was no need to hide them anymore.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at the bags and didn’t say anything.
When she looked away, the original owner mysteriously took out a bag from inside.
“Mom, this is for you…”
Xu Mingzhi turned around and saw her take out something wrapped in colorful paper from the bag. She untied the thin cotton rope and unwrapped the paper, revealing the content.
It was a plaid scarf from an expensive brand.
The design was simple and generous, neither gaudy nor exaggerated.
It was very business-like.
It was a style that suited Xu Mingzhi. At least, in the eyes of the original owner, it was very suitable for her mother.
Xu Mingzhi’s hand stopped by her side for a few seconds before she took it.
“Thanks.”
After leaving the hospital, Xu Mingzhi asked the original owner if she wanted to go back to her place or the Su family.
The original owner held her arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. “I want to live with you.”
Xu Mingzhi:
Later on, her phone rang. It was about work. Gao was an idiot. She planned to fire him when she went back.
However, she was able to subtly pull her arm away from the original owner while answering the phone.
The original owner didn’t notice it and was in a good mood as she looked at the scenery on both sides.
When they returned to the Xu residence, Xu Mingzhi had already asked Aunt Wu to tidy up the room.
Some things were put away.
The original owner had seen her room before and was quite satisfied with it.
After putting the things away, Aunt Wu said, “I’ll pack up the things. Lunch is ready. You may eat now.”
She was indeed a smart and capable servant. The original owner sized her up and thought that she was many times better than Aunt Zou in the Su family. Indeed, it was the right decision to come back here with her mother.
She could see what was playing on the television from the table.
The original owner felt that the voice was familiar, but when she looked over, it was her own voice.
Strangely enough, the sounds were clearly coming from her mouth, but the pronunciation and the tone were different. It gave off a different feeling.
Unknowingly, the original owner had begun to imitate Su Ji’s speaking habits.
At this moment, The Billion Stars was being replayed on the television. The original Su Ji raised the remote control and pressed a few buttons. The next channel was 100 Points Entertainment, and the beautiful female host was introducing Su Ji’s other show, Qingqiu Tactics.
The show was recorded yesterday.
Whenever Xu Mingzhi watched television, she would only watch the channels related to her daughter.
Over time, Aunt Wu developed a habit. When Madam was busy with work, she would record the shows that were related to Eldest Miss and save them in her favorites. When Madam was free, she would turn on the television at home and it would be the channel that she had recorded in advance.
For some reason, the original owner turned off the television.
When she put the remote control back onto the dining table, she didn’t hide her expression for a moment, and Xu Mingzhi’s sharp gaze caught it. She half-closed her eyes and took a sip of coffee. She did not eat much else.
“What’s your daily schedule?” She asked.
The original owner collected her thoughts. “Um…”
She pressed her lips together and smiled sweetly. “Mom, I want to go to the set tomorrow… ”
Xu Mingzhi slowly put down her teacup. The way she looked at her was like a scalpel that could tear her heart apart.
The original owner felt guilty for some reason and took the initiative to explain, “I’m not filming. I’m just visiting the seniors of the production team. It’s very important to maintain connections in the entertainment industry, especially with people who are more famous than me.”
“Really? You know a lot about the entertainment industry?”
“After all, I have been in the industry for a few years. I know a little about these things…” The original owner quickly glanced at her and then looked away. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she felt that it was strange.
Did her mother know something?
However, she felt that it shouldn’t be.
If she knew that she wasn’t the Consort Dowager, she probably wouldn’t have brought her home.
Moreover, she had been paying special attention to her words and demeanor recently. She was becoming more and more like the Concubine Dowager.. Her mother should not be able to tell…
