Accidentally poked Gu Huai's sadness, Lu Lingxi suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, and deliberately avoided Gu Huai's eyes.

However, Gu Huai didn't think it was a big deal. He still couldn't help wondering what Lu Lingxi had dreamed about. He was about to continue asking when he heard Lu Lingxi's cell phone ring.

After answering the phone, Lu Lingxi only listened to one sentence, the expression on his face changed instantly, and he was a little flustered.

Gu Huai suddenly had a bad feeling.

"The step-mother suffered a relapse last night and was admitted to the hospital!" Lu Lingxi hurriedly told Gu Huai without waiting for Gu Huai to ask.

"Don't panic, we'll go back right away." Gu Huai put his hand on Lu Lingxi's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

Lu Lingxi looked at Gu Huai in a daze, and seeing the worry and support in his eyes, her panicked heart calmed down a little.

Gu Huai saw that Lu Lingxi was fine, so he let her go, and immediately called to arrange to return to the imperial capital immediately.

Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Lu Lingxi somehow thought of last night before she agreed to Gu Huai, to discuss with Mrs. Shen, not to move there.

She suddenly had a feeling, could it be because of her unfilial thoughts that the retribution fell on Mrs. Shen?

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi couldn't help shivering all over.

After Gu Huai arranged everything, he turned around and saw Lu Lingxi's whole body trembling, and he couldn't help being frightened.

Following Gu Huai, he hugged Lu Lingxi tightly, using the warmth of his body to give her strength.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Huai lowered his head and rested his chin on Lu Lingxi's shoulder. The magnetic voice was full of calming power, and Lu Lingxi gradually calmed down.

"Elderly people will have some problems here and there, don't be so nervous." Gu Huai gently comforted Lu Lingxi. He thought maybe it was because Lu Lingxi had never had any relatives, so it was the first time he faced such a situation. So panicked.

Lu Lingxi nestled in Gu Huai's arms. At this moment, she couldn't think about anything. She could only follow Gu Huai's words, as if he was her life-saving straw, a piece of driftwood she was holding on to at the moment. What did he say? She believes it all.

……

Gu Huai and Lu Lingxi took the special plane back to the imperial capital without any delay. There was already a driver waiting there at the airport, who took them directly to the Shenggong Hospital where Mrs. Shen was staying.

When Lu Lingxi saw Mrs. Shen who was pale and weak but still alive and awake in the ward, the tears that she hadn't shed since she got the news finally came out of her eyes.

"Lingxi, you child, why are you crying? It's just an old problem." When Mrs. Shen saw Lu Lingxi coming, a pale smile appeared on her face, and she waved to her.

Taking a step forward, Lu Lingxi tightly grasped the hand extended by Mrs. Shen, and then wiped away tears with the other hand.

Seeing that Lu Lingxi was still sad and completely speechless, Mrs. Shen couldn't help asking Zhang's mother beside her: "Did you scare the child by calling the child without explaining clearly?"

Lu Lingxi burst into tears and laughed: "It's none of Zhang Ma's business, it's the first time I have a mother, I'm afraid I won't have such a blessing, so I'm terrified!"

"Silly boy!" Mrs. Shen gently touched Lu Lingxi's face with her other hand, "This is also the first time I have a daughter who is so worried about me."

Gu Huai, who accompanied Lu Lingxi in, looked at this scene and somehow remembered Ms. Liang. While he was happy for Lu Lingxi, he couldn't help but feel troubled for himself.

So Gu Huai waved to Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang understood, followed Gu Huai, and left the ward together, leaving only Lu Lingxi and Mrs. Shen in the ward to talk about their mother-daughter relationship.

"Is Bali fun? Isn't the Qi family's wedding very lively?" Mrs. Shen seemed not to want Lu Lingxi to be immersed in the sadness of her hospitalization, so she deliberately changed the subject and picked up some unimportant words.

Lu Lingxi took a closer look at Mrs. Shen, and saw that although she was pale, she was still in good spirits, so she felt relieved.

So she told Mrs. Shen all the interesting things that happened at the wedding today, but she was afraid that Mrs. Shen would be worried, so she omitted the incident of her falling into the water and the turmoil at the ball.

"Mother-in-law, when you are discharged from the hospital, I will move in with you to Shen's house, okay?" Lu Lingxi looked at Mrs. Shen with admiration, and there was a kind of gratitude in her eyes that it was too late.

On the way back, she had already figured it out. Mrs. Shen was old, she had been a widow for many years, and her health was not good. As an adopted daughter, she should move in to live with her anyway.

At least, she should be by Mrs. Shen's side before helping Mrs. Shen find her daughter back.

What's more, she is actually full of admiration for Mrs. Shen, she has never enjoyed maternal love, why can't she seize the opportunity?
In fact, even so, she doesn't have much time to be with Mrs. Shen, so at least she should live with Mrs. Shen in the days before getting married.

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Shen was very excited, and her whole body instantly became radiant, and she didn't look like a patient anymore.

"The foster mother will get better soon, I can't wait!" Lu Lingxi laughed almost coquettishly.

……

Gu Huai was sitting on the chair outside the ward, his mind was full of the appearance of Mrs. Shen and Lu Lingxi just now. They are not biological mother and daughter, and they haven't known each other for long, but their relationship is so good. Compared with Ms. Liang and his biological mother and son, More like blood relatives.

When he was in Bali, he had already made a decision to treat Ms. Liang and Fang Ran as strangers from then on. He only had his grandfather as a relative in this world.

However, no matter how well prepared he was, he was still hurt by the unexpected scene of Mrs. Shen and Lu Lingxi.

It seemed that he really wasn't as open-minded as he hoped.

After a while, Lu Lingxi came out of the ward. He adjusted his mood, tried his best to put on a smiling face, and said, "Look, I just said that Mrs. Shen is fine."

Lu Lingxi finally smiled and nodded.

Along the way, Gu Huai had been facing the frowning Lu Lingxi all the time. Seeing her smile suddenly, he felt as if he had passed away, so that he became obsessed with it.

In the corridor where people come and go, being stared at by Gu Huai like this, Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed, and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Gu Huai came back to his senses, and smiled noncommittally: "Let's go home."

The word "go home" touched Lu Lingxi's heart. It turned out that in less than three months, she had subtly regarded the Gu family as her home.

Just now in the ward, she was so emotional that she agreed to Mrs. Shen's move to Shen's house on the day she was discharged from the hospital.

Last night in Bali, she promised Gu Huai that she would discuss with Mrs. Shen not to move to Shen's house, but she changed her mind within a day.
