Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

"Baby~ What are you thinking? How could President Bo possibly bring you to the hospital? You were brought here by his assistant."

"He didn't say anything, he just helped you with the hospital admission procedures and left."

Si Yuan looked slightly disappointed. "Oh..."

Come to think of it, how could Bo Yusen possibly bring her to the hospital himself?

The road ahead is long and arduous.

"However, President Bo is a very good person. He was afraid that your condition would worsen, so he put his own clothes on you."

Shen Xingzhu sighed, "His clothes alone must have cost at least six figures."

Si Yuan's heart skipped a beat. "What about the clothes?"

"The clothes are in my hospital room. I was worried that if Xiang Mingche saw men's clothes in your room, you wouldn't be able to explain it, so I left them in my room for now."

Knowing the situation of the Si family, Shen Xingzhu naturally thought of Si Yuan all the time.

"Oh, and this too."

Shen Xingzhu took out an envelope and handed it to Si Yuan.

"Here is your payment for translating. The money was all wet, so I took it out one by one and put it by the window to dry for a whole day. It's a total of 30,000 yuan."

"The original agreement was for 20,000, but they added 10,000. That must be a bonus from President Bo for your good performance."

Shen Xingzhu clenched her fist and held it to Si Yuan's mouth. "Let's interview Ms. Si. How does it feel to earn 30,000 yuan in one day for your first pot of gold?"

Si Yuan looked somewhat stunned. "Why didn't he take it?"

This money was originally her payment for asking Bo Yusen to take her to the hospital, but he didn't accept it and even put his clothes on her.

Does this mean that she has at least a tiny bit of hope?

Shen Xingzhu was completely confused. "Huh? Who? What do you want?"

Si Yuan took the envelope and smiled, "Of course I'm happy to have made money. With so much money, I'll treat you to a meal when you're better."

"Okay, I want a seafood feast."

"eat!"

The two smiled at each other, but a few seconds later, Shen Xingzhu looked at Si Yuan and her smile faded.

"Ah Yuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Si Yuan turned to look out the window. Autumn had arrived, and the ginkgo trees outside had all turned yellow.

After a few seconds of silence, she uttered a completely unrelated remark.

"The autumn harvest season has arrived."

He then turned to Shen Xingzhu, took her hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to beat down."

Shen Xingzhu squeezed her hand back, "Don't forget you still have me. No matter what happens, I will always be on your side."

"Um."

in the afternoon.

Before being discharged from the hospital, Si Yuan visited Shen Xingzhu's ward.

She first took Bo Yusen's clothes to a luxury dry cleaner, and then went home.

The Si family.

Si Yingying was painfully practicing Pilates.

It has to be said that it was Si Qingwan who made the difference. Under her supervision, Si Yingying had already shown significant changes in just two or three days.

It's likely that Si Yingying will be completely transformed in no time.

Si Qingwan saw Si Yuan and frowned slightly. "You've lost weight?"

Before Si Yuan could answer, Si Qingwan had a maid bring a weighing scale and had Si Yuan stand on it.

I did lose two pounds.

Si Qingwan's face immediately darkened. "Have I never told you that you are always the most important person? You've made yourself sick and emaciated just to take care of Shen Xingzhu—"

He Shuqing immediately smoothed things over, "A Yuan is just too sentimental. It's not a bad thing. I'll have the kitchen add a few more dishes so she can eat more and make up for it."

He Shuqing glanced at Si Yuan, who immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mother, for making you worry."

Si Yuan was somewhat happy; her mother could tell at a glance that she had lost weight, which meant she was still concerned about her.

Si Yingying listened intently to the sounds coming from the living room.

She's been eating boiled vegetables and tasteless beef and chicken breast every day for the past few days, and her mouth is practically bland.

Upon hearing that there would be extra dishes for dinner, she almost burst into tears of joy.

As a result, it all happened at the dinner table.

The table was laden with delicious food, but in front of her was only boiled vegetables.

Si Yingying ate the tasteless beef, gritting her teeth in frustration.

With a quick glance, she enthusiastically used her chopsticks to serve food to Si Qingwan, saying, "Mom, you've worked hard these past few days helping me exercise, so eat more."

The Si family all know that Si Qingwan is a germaphobe and never eats food that other people put on her plate.

The Si family also adheres to the family rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

When Si Yuan was a child, she thought that all families were like hers.

Later, a child invited her to his birthday party, and she only found out after she went.

It turns out that other families have such lively dinner parties, with classmates happily sharing interesting things that happened at school with their families.

She would also help her parents pick food for them, and her parents would happily praise her for being sensible, and then take pictures to record it.

When she got home, she wanted to share the fun she had at her friend's birthday party with her mother, but her mother looked at her with displeasure.

"Eat properly, don't talk while eating or sleeping."

Xiao Siyuan's smile gradually disappeared. Then, as if remembering something, she mustered up her courage to serve her mother some food.

"Eat by yourself, then go practice the piano."

When the meal ended, Xiao Siyuan saw that the food she had put into her mother's bowl hadn't been eaten at all.

Since then, she has never dared to do those things again.

Si Yuan had assumed that Si Qingwan would educate Si Yingying in the same way she had educated her.

Si Qingwan smiled slightly and said, "Mm."

She actually ate the food that Si Yingying had picked up.

Si Yuan lowered her eyes, her hand gripping the chopsticks so tightly it turned white.

"Mom... my dinner tastes bland. Can I have some boiled fish instead?"

Fearing that Si Qingwan would refuse, Si Yingying looked at her with a pitiful expression, "Just one yuan, please, please."

Si Yingying looked extremely pitiful.

He Shuqing smiled at Si Qingwan and said, "Yingying has lost a lot of weight these past two days. Fish is a good source of protein, so it's okay for her to eat a piece."

"Mommy~~~"

Si Yingying clung to Si Qingwan's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Sit still."

"Oh……"

Si Yingying sat up straight, and the next second, she saw the fish that Si Qingwan had picked up from her bowl and smiled happily.

"Thank you, Mom..."

"After eating, go for a walk, and then come back to read."

"Okay."

Si Yingying ate the boiled fish very slowly, as if she couldn't bear to finish it.

"I swear, this fish is the best I've ever eaten in my life, not only because it tastes good, but most importantly because my mom put it on my plate."

He Shuqing smiled, and Si Qingwan also showed a rare smile.

"Okay, don't talk while eating."

Si Yingying obediently replied, "Okay!"

Si Yuan sat silently.

When she was little, she longed for her mother to serve her food like other children's parents would.

She had eaten food served by the maid and food served by He Shuqing, but she had never eaten food served by her mother.

It turns out she wasn't incapable of serving food to others, nor was she incapable of smiling at the dinner table.

That unique tenderness, however, was reserved for her biological daughter.

He Shuqing coughed lightly after noticing Si Yuan's emotions.

Si Qingwan then placed some food in Si Yuan's bowl, saying, "Eat more."

"Thank you, Mother."

Si Yuan looked at the food in her bowl; something she had always longed for since childhood had finally come true.

But it turns out—

Not all satisfaction comes with happiness.
