Chapter 1000 You Must Be Like A lettuce

Dongzi looked embarrassed and did not speak for some time.

Mumu ran over and grabbed Dongzi’s clothes with both hands, looking like he was about to cry. “Uncle Dongzi, where are the doctors Daddy has arranged for Auntie Youning? Why haven’t they come yet?”

Xu Youning also gazed at Dongzi eagerly, as if waiting for his answer.

Dongzi could not bear such great pressure and said slowly, “The two doctors who were scheduled to arrive at the country today are from country A. However, when they went through the customs, they were found to be carrying drugs and detained by the local customs. They may be sentenced.”

That time, Xu Youning was really shocked.

If she remembered correctly, Kang Jintian had rich medical resources. It would not have been difficult for him to find a few reliable doctors.

But why did he find two drug addicts?

Xu Youning asked almost subconsciously, “What’s going on?!” Her tone was a little cold and sharp.

Dongzi shook his head and said hesitantly, “It’s said that they carried drugs for their friends. They didn’t expect that there were drugs in the box...”

Xu Youning did not have time to think about what was going on. She just needed to respond correctly.

She suddenly became agitated and raised her voice. “Ask their friends to show up as witnesses. Then the truth will be revealed, won’t it? Why do they need to go to prison?!”

“The problem is-” Dongzi whispered in a strange tone, “that we found their friends, but we failed to find any evidence to prove that they had given the drugs to the doctors.”

Xu Youning clenched her fair hands into fists and closed her eyes tightly, seeming to be suppressing her complicated emotions.

Mumu soon felt something was wrong with Xu Youning, and instantly a look of uneasiness crossed his tender face. He pulled the hem of Xu Youning’s clothes and asked, “Auntie Youning, are you all right?”

Xu Youning clenched her fists even more tightly and said nothing.

She looked angry, but in fact, she was greatly confused.

Before setting off, the doctors were suddenly apprehended by the customs for carrying prohibited goods, and would go to prison and could no longer come to the country.

Because of the doctors’ misfortune, she could escape.

Was all of this just a coincidence?

Mumu was used to being indulged by Xu Youning. This was the first time that he had been ignored by Xu Youning.

The little boy thought that something had happened to Xu Youning, so he became more and more uneasy. He looked at Kang Ruicheng for help and said, “Daddy...”

Kang Ruicheng came over and put his hands on Xu Youning’s shoulders. “A Ning, calm down.”

Xu Youning could not calm down at all. She thought of Mu Sijue after thinking it over.

Could it be that Mu Sijue was helping her?

If it was really Mu Sijue who tried to stop the doctors, it meant that Mu Sijue had already known about her illness.

However, she had kept it an utmost secret. How did Mu Sijue know about it?

Seeing that Xu Youning still did not respond, Kang Ruicheng held her in his arms and pressed her head against his shoulder, saying, “The two doctors from country A are not able to come, but we still have a Swiss doctor. A Ning, don’t worry. I will help you find a way. Don’t be afraid.”

Xu Youning did not listen carefully to Kang Ruicheng’s words, but thought of another explanation.

Maybe Mu Sijue did not know about the blood clots in her brain. He just happened to know that Kang Jintian had invited a few doctors for her.

Mu Sijue did not know what illness she had.

But he hated her so much that he just wanted to take revenge on her and kill her with his own hands.

It could also be a means of revenge to stop the doctors from treating her.

“Is that what Mu Sijue thinks?”

Kang Ruicheng could not rouse Xu Youning from her reverie for a long time, so he hugged her tighter and spoke softly in her ear. “A Ning, I will help you find a way. Don’t think about it...”

Mumu looked at Xu Youning and burst into tears. He pleaded, “Auntie Youning, don’t be like this. Can you talk to me? Woo...”

Children’s cries were often softer and more pitiful than adults’.

Xu Youning broke free from Kang Ruicheng’s arms, squatted down, and gently touched Mumu’s head. “Mumu, don’t cry. I’m fine.”

Mumu rubbed his eyes and looked at Xu Youning doubtfully. “Really?”

Xu Youning held the little boy in her arms and nodded with certainty. “Yes.”

After getting Xu Youning’s guarantee, Mumu was no longer worried about Xu Youning’s reaction. Instead, he was worried about Xu Youning’s illness. He turned to look at Kang Ruicheng and asked, “Daddy, will you find doctors for Auntie Youning again?”

“Of course.” It was the first time for Kang Ruicheng to look at his son so seriously and he said earnestly, “Mumu, I also hope that Auntie Youning can recover soon.”

Mumu reached out his hand and wanted to make a pinky swear with Kang Ruicheng. “You must keep your promise!”

“OK!”

The promise seemed to come from the bottom of Kang Ruicheng’s heart, strong and firm.

A smile finally returned to Mumu’s tender face.

He stroked Xu Youning’s face with his chubby palms and looked at her seriously. “Did you hear that? Daddy will help you look for doctors again, so don’t worry, okay?”

After that, Mumu hugged Xu Youning like an adult and patted her on the back.

Xu Youning could not help laughing. She nodded and told Mumu not to worry.

In fact, both Mumu and Kang Ruicheng had misunderstood her.

She was more surprised than sad about the fact that the doctors were stopped.

Now, she even felt a little happy secretly.

The fact that the doctors could not arrive in time meant that there was no risk of her being exposed for the time being. She no longer had to worry about it anymore.

With that in mind, Xu Youning’s eyebrows relaxed and the smile returned to her face.

Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning. Instead of doubting her, he was relieved.

After learning that the doctors could not arrive, Xu Youning looked disappointed. There seemed to be a hand with countless barbs poking at his heart. For a moment, he was actually overwhelmed with sorrow.

As long as the smile reappeared on Xu Youning’s face, he would not refuse to find a new life for Xu Youning, let alone doctors.

Mumu took Xu Youning’s hand and said excitedly, “Auntie Youning, let’s go to the yard and see if the seedlings have sprouted yet, okay?”

A few days ago, when Mumu went out, he found a stall selling vegetables and flower seeds. He bought a pile of seeds on impulse. He even told someone to buy tools and was ready to clear the land in the yard.

In this season, in the open air, it was impossible for seeds to sprout, but Xu Youning did not want to disappoint the little boy.

After thinking about it, Xu Youning asked someone to build a greenhouse.

Probably on the spur of the moment or because he was really interested in it, he took Xu Youning to the small greenhouse and sprinkled a bag of lettuce seeds there. He saw them as treasures and visited them three times a day. Every day, he would squat in the greenhouse and talk to the seeds. He could not wait for the big lettuces to sprout.

However, this time, the little boy probably just wanted to distract Xu Youning’s attention by taking her to “visit” the lettuces.

Mumu was still short and he walked nimbly into the vegetable greenhouse. In less than three seconds, his scream came out.

“Wow, Auntie Youning, come in!”

Xu Youning went in and found that the lettuces had sprouted.

Mumu squatted beside the black soil and looked carefully at the tender green sprouts. His childish eyes were full of excitement.

He could not wait to hold Xu Youning’s hand and said, “Auntie Youning, look, they have sprouted!”

Xu Youning was also a little surprised and could not help giving out a sigh that life was really the greatest miracle in the world.

Mumu turned around and threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms. “Auntie Youning, can you also be like a lettuce?”

Xu Youning felt choked and almost laughed. “Why should I be like a lettuce?”

“You have to be as strong as it!” Mumu explained seriously, “Look, it’s so cold today, but the lettuces are still able to sprout. Well, you don’t have to sprout. You just need to recover!”

In fact, Xu Youning knew what Mumu wanted to express from the beginning.

The little boy’s wish was very simple. He just wanted her to survive healthily.

However, such a simple wish was the most difficult thing for Xu Youning.

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head and fetched some water in a watering can. She handed it to Mumu and said, “Water the sprouts, so that they will grow faster.”

As expected, Mumu’s attention was diverted. He took the watering can and ran to water the plants excitedly.

After watering the sprouts, Xu Youning saw that it was almost time and took Mumu back to the room. She asked Ah Jin to take Mumu to wash his hands. Then she went upstairs to her room.

Xu Youning did not notice that when she turned around and went upstairs, Ah Jin took a deep look at her and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ah Jin just felt lucky that Xu Youning had finally passed through this difficult stage and she was fine now.

Xu Youning returned to her room and immediately turned on the computer to cancel the email.

Since the doctors Kang Ruicheng had invited could not come, there was no risk of her being exposed for the time being, so there was no need to break into the network defense and send the email out.

Otherwise, once Kang Ruicheng received the warning, even if there was no doctors to expose her secret, Kang Ruicheng would suspect her.

After cancelling the email, Xu Youning cleared the cache history from the computer. Then she felt relieved, turned off the computer, and went downstairs to find Mumu.

Ah Jin had just helped Mumu to wash his hands. He came over with the little boy and said, “Miss Xu, dinner is ready. You and Mumu can eat first.”

Xu Youning asked casually, “Where’s Brother Cheng?”

“Brother Cheng and Dongzi went out,” Ah Jin said, ” Brother Cheng said that because the arrival of the two doctors had gone awry today, he had to make sure that the doctor who was due to arrive tomorrow would be able to have a smooth entry into City A.”

Xu Youning nodded and took Mumu to the dining room.

She was no longer worried.

One doctor was easier to deal with than three doctors.

She was safe in the Kang family for the time being.

If she was lucky, she might be able to discover more valuable information during this period.

Ah Jin walked out of the Kang family’s house and called Mu Sijue...
