Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

Back home, the second year after the two separated was also a major turning point in Su Mu's life.

Although Grandma Su escaped the disaster of falling in the snow, she was old after all, and she still fell down during Su Mu's sophomore year.

The moment Su Mu received the call from Aunt Li, he hurried back to City A.

Grandma Su was pushed onto the operating table. Su Mu sat in the corridor outside the operating room with red eyes. For the first time, a deep fear rose in his heart.

The operation lasted until late at night. When the doctor came out, he told Su Mu a lot of things. The symptoms were no longer important. Grandma Su was directly pushed into the ICU.

The doctor said that Grandma Su needed to undergo another craniotomy, but the prerequisite was that Grandma Su had to wake up first, as the old lady's body could not withstand too much torture.

Now we can only observe the situation.

Su Mu rubbed his eyes and went to pay the fee first.

The feeling of powerlessness once again spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, his heart sank so hard that he couldn't breathe.

After paying for the surgery and various medical expenses, his current savings are not enough to support his grandmother's stay in the ICU for long.

In a familiar neighborhood in City A, Su Mu stood at the door and listened to the quarrel between his uncle and aunt.

"Since she's already in the ICU, there's almost no chance of survival. Why waste so much money on the hospital? We might as well take her home and give her a proper funeral when she finally dies."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Anliang, who had always been tolerant and patient, attacked his wife for the first time and slapped her hard.

"Do you still have a conscience? That's my mother."

Ye Wenfang didn't expect Su Anliang to dare to hit him. He rushed to him and started beating him.

"I have no conscience? Isn't what I said the truth? Didn't you hear the doctor say that even if he wakes up, he'll still need surgery, and the surgery is very risky. Even if he wakes up, there might be huge sequelae. Are you going to leave us mother and daughter to starve just for that one chance?"

Su Mu clenched his hands tightly, his eyelashes trembling. If he could afford grandma's medical expenses alone, he would never bother his uncle.

But he is so useless now, and a strong sense of self-loathing envelops him.

This time, the boy could no longer numb himself with self-deception and stay away from the harm brought to him by the world.

This time, it was his relatives who were hurt. It was time for him to grow up, accept reality and all the baptisms that life brought him, and hold up an umbrella for the people he cared about.

Across the wall, the quarrel inside was getting louder and louder, and the boy with a very thin back was growing up quietly in the corner.

The door was opened, Su Anliang's eyes were red, but Ye Wenfang still refused to pay a penny.

Su Anliang handed over his monthly salary to Ye Wenfang. He handed Su Mu a bank card with 50,000 yuan in it, which he had saved bit by bit through his frugality over the years.

"Xiao Mu, take it first, and uncle will think of a solution."

Su Mu took the bank card. The dryness in his throat made him feel very uncomfortable. He licked his dry lips and walked into the dark night.

Su Mu first went to the hospital to see his grandmother, and then curled up on a bench in the corridor, like a child who couldn't find his home.

His phone was the only light, and he opened the chat history with Wen Ling. It was filled with all the holiday greetings he had sent her over the years, but she hadn't responded in a single word.

He never called her for fear of disturbing her.

But at this moment he missed her very, very much. He didn't want to complain to her, he just wanted to hear her voice.

Wen Ling's contact information was repeatedly clicked, and Su Mu knew that it was daytime in Country H at this time.

Staring at the contact information that I had already memorized, the phone screen lit up and dimmed, dimmed and lit up again.

The obedient boy buried half of his face in his knees with red eyes, but finally dialed the number with trembling fingers.

He was willful just this once, he missed her so much.

After she left, no one brought him such sweet milk tea, teased him, or praised and protected him no matter how insignificant the task was.

His eyelashes were wet with tears. Su Mu lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his knees. Then he held his breath and listened to the drawn-out tone of the other party waiting for the call to be connected.

Until I heard a cold, mechanical female voice.

[Hello, the number you dialed is not in service—]

A dead number? Su Mu's trembling eyelashes froze completely. The young man was stunned for a long time, and then tears burst out. The small sobs were fragmented, an outlet for his complete emotional collapse.

The sobbing sound did not even alarm the voice-controlled lights in the corridor, but it stirred the boy's entire heart.

After the initial loss of control, the boy began to patch things up. It was of course more convenient to apply for a new mobile phone number abroad, and changing the number was normal.

But, but why can't I tell him?

Don't you want him anymore?

Two and a half years is too long. It's normal to not like him anymore. There's nothing worth liking about him.

The boy wiped his tears and thought, like a little animal licking its wounds alone, hugging himself tightly.

a whole night.

Su Mu submitted a leave note to the school and immediately started looking for various part-time jobs.

After a long day of work, Su Mu remembered that he had been working non-stop for the past few days and had completely forgotten about Mu Mu. He hurried home and was relieved to see Aunt Li pouring dog food for Mu Mu.

Holding Mu Mu in his arms, Su Mu sincerely thanked Aunt Li.

"Oh, it's no big deal. Mumu is cute. I like to come and see it too."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Aunt Li, this house was originally yours. Now that grandma is in the hospital and can't work in the restaurant, you can take the house back."

"No, no, you can keep it."

Aunt Li quickly waved her hands, saying that the house was not theirs.

Su Mu felt warm in his heart, "No need, Aunt Li, you can hire an employee. I have a place to live now."

It was Aunt Li who helped him and his grandmother to own this house, and now he can't live there for free.

He didn't understand it before, but now he sees clearly how this house can't be rented out. The place he found now is not even as good as this one, but it is cheaper.

Su Mu was firm in his attitude, but Aunt Li was a little embarrassed.

Unable to make up his mind, he finally called the boss over.

Both husband and wife hesitated, rubbing their hands uncomfortably on their knees.

Then Aunt Li spoke.

"Xiao Mu, let me be frank with you. This house isn't actually ours. Four or five years ago, a middle-aged man came to us and asked us to find a way for you and your grandmother to move in."

Uncle Li also spoke up, "Yes, that person knows you and your grandmother very well. We thought it might be a friend of your parents' from the past who wanted to help you two, so we agreed."

Uncle Li continued, "Before you went to college, your aunt and I were able to contact that person, but now we can't contact him at all. It's really strange."
