She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 228 The most important thing is that the mother survives.

Upon hearing Nan Zhuoyuan's angry shout, tears of grievance instantly welled up in Nan Qingqing's eyes.

Her frail body trembled slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, and her voice suddenly became soft and low.

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just a little worried about Mom, so I wanted to go in and check on her."

Looking at her feigned weakness, Nan Zhuoyuan felt a sense of annoyance.

Then he thought of Nan Yu, who was treating his mother in the ward at that moment. He closed the ward door, stood in front of Nan Qingqing, and tried to calm himself down.

He pretended to coax her, "Qingqing, Dean Li is treating your mother and needs to keep quiet. Let's not disturb him here. Let's go to the seventh floor and talk."

Nan Qingqing glanced at the tightly closed door and then thought of the phone call Gu Chuxin had made.

Her nose twitched, and she nodded hoarsely, saying, "Okay."

Nan Zhuoyuan led Nan Qingqing down to the seventh floor and into the innermost office.

“Qingqing, in order to ensure that Dean Li’s treatment goes smoothly without any accidents, I have given the order that no one except me and his team is allowed to enter.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Qingqing stopped in her tracks, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes, and a murderous intent hidden in her gaze as she looked at Nan Zhuoyuan.

Her face showed hesitation, and her voice was weak.

"Brother, is Dean Li reliable? Can he be even more skilled than the Ghost Doctor?"

Nan Zhuoyuan had anticipated that Nan Qingqing would say that. A dark look flashed across his eyes, and he turned around, immediately appearing haggard and exhausted.

He sighed heavily, "Qingqing, Vice President Gu already told you, right? I rejected her previous proposal."

Nan Qingqing asked, puzzled, "Big brother, why did you refuse the Ghost Doctor? She could have saved Mom. Keeping Mom alive is the most important thing!"

Nan Zhuoyuan placed his hands on Nan Qingqing's shoulders to comfort her, "Qingqing, I know you're worried about Mother, but calm down first and listen to what your older brother has to say." Nan Qingqing calmed down, her eyes still red and swollen, and waited for Nan Zhuoyuan's explanation.

Nan Zhuoyuan said, "Qingqing, the plan proposed by Vice President Gu is that once Mother takes that medicine, she will never wake up again. But Dean Li went to Father and said directly that he can not only save Mother's illness, but also wake her up."

"When my father found out about this, he told me to follow Dean Li's instructions and to try even if there was only a sliver of hope."

“It’s not that I don’t accept Vice President Gu’s proposal, but that’s our mother. We can’t accept a proposal where she will never wake up again.”

He paused for two seconds before adding the last sentence.

"Qingqing, I think you, like us, can't accept Gu Chuxin's proposal, right?"

If Nan Qingqing refuses now that things have come to this point, her carefully cultivated image as a good daughter will completely collapse.

She suppressed the urge to curse, her face pale, and tried her best to maintain her composure.

"Big brother, I want Mom to wake up more than any of you. Since Dean Li has a solution, let's try his plan first."

"If his plan doesn't work, then I'll ask Vice President Gu for help."

Nan Zhuoyuan took in all of Nan Qingqing's expressions, his eyes darkening further, while he put on the act of a good older brother.

“Qingqing, you must have been very frightened at the zoo. You’ve been working hard and worrying about your mother these past few days, and haven’t had a good night’s sleep.”

"You should take this time to rest well and have your fourth brother accompany you to get a check-up. Don't let yourself get sick."

"Don't worry about Mother, with my eldest brother here."
