At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 438 Let's put the divorce on hold for now.

Lu Shengsheng thought that she had said all that and Gu Ronghui would be sensible enough to leave on his own, but she didn't expect him to come back.

Gu Rong sat down without saying much until Lu's mother finished breakfast, at which point he got up to help tidy up.

Lu's mother said apologetically, "Let the caregiver or Sheng Sheng do these things. Don't get your hands dirty."

"It's alright, I'll just wash my hands later." Gu Ronghui acted like an ordinary son-in-law, as if he wasn't the one with obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

Lu's mother was still satisfied with him.

Gu Rong threw the things into the trash can and looked up at Lu Shengsheng: "Come with me to wash your hands."

Lu Shengsheng looked up, her eyes seeming to say: Are you sick? Do you need someone to help you pee?

Seeing that her daughter was oblivious, Lu's mother coughed lightly and reminded her, "Sheng Sheng..."

Not wanting her to worry, Lu Shengsheng followed him into the kitchen.

Gu Rong closed the door and turned on the tap, the sound of the water drowning out his voice so that the people in the ward wouldn't hear him.

"Let's put the divorce on hold for now."

Lu Shengsheng scoffed, "You think you can just say 'take a break' and expect me to? Who do you think you are?"

Gu Rong washed her hands and dried them with a tissue. She didn't turn off the tap, but said, "Do you think you can hide the divorce proceedings from the media and that Mom won't know?"

Lu Shengsheng remained silent, which was also what worried her.

“I’ve spoken with the doctor. With conservative treatment, she has about three months left,” Gu Rong continued. “You can’t even wait those three months?”

"I can't wait!" Lu Shengsheng answered without hesitation, not even for a day or a second longer.

Gu Rong took a deep breath and said seriously and calmly, "Lu Shengsheng, the person lying there is your mother. She hopes you can live a good and happy life. If we divorce now, do you think she can rest easy?"

“I know better than you, I don’t need you to remind me!” Lu Shengsheng glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and gritted her teeth, “But I don’t believe you would be so kind.”

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Gu Ronghui was too lazy to argue with her and said in a deep voice, "I can persuade my dad and mom to have a meal together and put their minds at ease. Think it over and call me!"

After saying that, he turned off the tap and went out first, while Lu Shengsheng stood in the kitchen without moving.

Gu Rong greeted Lu's mother and then returned to the company.

Lu Shengsheng stayed in the kitchen for a while before coming out. Her mother asked with concern, "Did you two have a fight?"

"No." Lu Shengsheng cheered and smiled. "Don't worry about us, just rest well."

Lu's mother looked at her with loving eyes, "You're my only daughter, who else should I worry about if not you?"

Lu Shengsheng said with a slightly arrogant expression, "I'm fine..."

***
In the afternoon, Liang Hanyue came to visit Lu's mother, bringing flowers and nutritional supplements.

Knowing that they had a good relationship, Lu's mother was also very happy to see Liang Hanyue. She invited her to sit down and asked Lu Shengsheng to pour tea and have the caregiver wash fruit.

Liang Hanyue chuckled and said, "No need to trouble yourself, let's just sit and chat."

"It's alright, I'll be fine soon!" The caregiver took some fresh fruit to wash.

Lu Shengsheng poured her water, and the two exchanged a glance and smiled. Many things didn't need to be said; they understood each other perfectly.

After sitting for a while, Liang Hanyue noticed that Lu's mother was getting sleepy, so she got up to say goodbye, and Lu Shengsheng saw her out.

As they reached the elevator, Liang Hanyue reassured them, "The experts Jin Yanchen hired will arrive in Beijing soon."

All the words I wanted to say came down to just one sentence: "Thank you."

"Don't mention it." Liang Hanyue gently hugged her. "It'll be alright, don't worry too much."

Lu Shengsheng nodded, but she was never at ease.

Liang Hanyue asked again, "Then you and Gu Rong went back..." She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

“He visited my mother and wanted me to postpone the divorce proceedings,” Lu Shengsheng said succinctly. “The doctor said my mother has at most three months left!”

Liang Hanyue's mood grew heavy. "What do you think?"

"I don't know!" Lu Shengsheng was also conflicted. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with Gu Ronghui, but that she was worried that this matter would upset her mother and affect her condition.

Liang Hanyue was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Right now, the most important thing is your mother's health, and I think he's right about that."

“I know,” Lu Shengsheng nodded. “I’ll think about it some more.”

"You can call me anytime if anything happens!" Liang Hanyue wanted her to know that she wasn't alone and that she had friends she could rely on!
"Thank you." Lu Shengsheng hugged her, feeling some strength return to her.

Liang Hanyue patted her head. "Don't be so polite with me."

After seeing Liang Hanyue off, Lu Shengsheng sat in the rest area for a while before finally calling Han Qing and asking her to postpone the divorce proceedings.

Han Qing agreed without asking why, saying it would be at least after the New Year.

She called Gu Rong back, "Do as you say, but I hope You Shiyu and your illegitimate child won't show up in front of my mother that day, or you'll face the consequences!"

When Liang's mother woke up, she was overjoyed to learn that her in-laws were coming back. She wanted to buy some clothes and gifts for them.

Lu Shengsheng said, "They lack nothing!"

"It's their business if they don't lack anything, but we can't neglect our manners!" Mother Lu said earnestly.

Having no other choice, Lu Shengsheng asked the doctor for leave and went shopping with her caregiver.

Fearing she would be too tired to walk, they borrowed a wheelchair from the nurses' station.

Liang's mother changed into several outfits, and Lu Shengsheng praised them all for looking good.

"Which one should we choose?" Lu's mother asked for their opinions.

"If they look good, I'll buy them all." Lu Shengsheng waved her hand and told SA to take care of everything.

"We don't need so many!" Mrs. Lu quickly pulled SA aside. "I usually wear such nice clothes in the hospital, it would be a waste to buy them!"

“You can wear it in the hospital too!” Lu Shengsheng pulled her hand away, gave SA a look, and comforted her, “I’ve made a lot of money, who else would you spend it on if not me?”

"You can't waste money!" Mrs. Lu scolded her.

“Spending money on Mom is never a waste!” Lu Shengsheng said confidently, and after buying clothes, she took her to choose gifts.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an old acquaintance as soon as I entered the store.

"Sheng Sheng..." Lin Leyang greeted her first, then her gaze fell on Lu's mother in the wheelchair. "Is this your mother?"

Lu Shengsheng frowned and remained silent. Her mother looked at them with curiosity, "Shengsheng, is this your friend?"

Before she could answer, Lin Leyang spoke first, "Hello Auntie, I am Lin Leyang, and I am a friend of Shengsheng and Ahui."

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello."

Lin Leyang looked at Lu Shengsheng and said softly, "Are you also here to buy a birthday gift for Uncle Gu?"

Birthday gift?

Lu Shengsheng had no idea that Gu Baisong was going to celebrate his birthday!
Mrs. Lu asked in confusion, "Is your father-in-law celebrating his birthday?"

Lu Shengsheng gave a perfunctory reply, "Probably."

Lin Leyang: "You guys don't know yet? The Gu family has already sent out their invitations!"
