Chapter 648 Guard Against the Aunt
Gu Changle looked at Miaomiao smilingly.
But in Shao Xue’s eyes, her smile was so vicious.
It contained no kindness.
Miaomiao sat on the sofa.
Shao Tianze held her small hands, saying to Gu Changle, “Did the doctor come to examine you today?”
“Yes.”
“Is everything OK?”
Shao Tianze cared about Gu Changle a lot.
Hearing Shao Tianze asked her worriedly, Gu Changle smiled, replying, “Yep, nothing serious. It’s just that…”
Gu Changle did not finish her words.
But Shao Tianze took the hint.
He knew what Gu Changle wanted to say.
She just wanted to talk about the suitable organs for her operation.
“Don’t worry. Things will take a turn for the better.”
Shao Tianze comforted Gu Changle.
Though Gu Changle had already got sick of such comforting words, there was nothing else she could do about it.
She could only nod and urge Shao Tianze, “Tianze, I’m afraid that there may not be enough time. So please hurry.”
Gu Changle’s health was worsening day by day, which was unpredictable.
She didn’t know how much longer she could live.
“Don’t worry, Changle. You gotta trust me.”
Shao Tianze’s eyes were filled with tenderness when he looked at Gu Changle.
However, Gu Changle would rather get a fresh heart to displace the one in her chest no matter how tender his look was.
She wanted to survive and live a wonderful life.
She didn’t want to live like this, fearing that she might die in the next second every day.
She pressed her lips, looking at Miaomiao.
Miaomiao’s little hands were held by Shao Tianze’s fingers.
Seeing that Gu Changle looked back at Miaomiao, Shao Xue slightly pressed her lips, asking, “When will you go home?”
She did not beat about the bush.
Hearing that, Gu Changle said with displeasure, “But you’ve just arrived! Miaomiao, you don’t want to leave me now, right?”
Gu Changle asked Miaomiao.
Miaomiao took a look at Shao Tianze helplessly and then replied timidly, “No.”
“In that case, stay with me for some more time in the hospital, OK?”
Miaomiao nodded, “OK.”
Seeing that Miaomiao nodded, Gu Changle turned to look at Shao Xue and curled up her lips provokingly.
Gu Changle knew that Shao Xue had been fighting against her in secret. But what benefit could Shao Xue get?
Gu Changle was pampered by Shao Tianze, but what about Shao Xue?
Shao Xue had no backup.
How could she fight against Gu Changle?
She still wanted to protect Miaomiao?
She should perish the thought! She’d better keep her mind on how to protect herself.
Hearing that Gu Changle wanted to detain Miaomiao, Shao Xue pressed her lips, preparing to keep staying in the ward.
But Gu Changle suddenly said, “It’s been a while since you got hurt. So have you recovered?”
“Yes.” Shao Xue answered.
It was just what Gu Changle expected her to say.
Gu Changle smiled, replying, “In that case, Tianze, let Shao Xue return to work in the Shao enterprise, OK? Now the Shao enterprise is in need of personnel.”
Hearing that, Shao Xue realized that she fell into Gu Changle’s trap.
Gu Changle did not really want Shao Xue to help Shao Tianze in the Shao enterprise. She just wanted her to leave the Shao Family.
Gu Changle also wanted Shao Xue to leave Miaomiao.
Even if Shao Xue entered the Shao enterprise, Shao Tianze would not get her into top management.
Shao Tianze would just give Shao Xue a nominal position and let her freeload.
The Shao Family could totally afford to cover Shao Xue’s salary. It was just that Gu Changle wanted Shao Xue to leave the Shao Family because she didn’t want Shao Xue to get in her way.
Hearing Gu Changle’s words, Shao Tianze turned to look at Shao Xue, asking her, “Do you want to return to work in the Shao enterprise now?”
Shao Xue smiled on hearing Shao Tianze’s question. She frowned and seemed to be hesitant, “Not now. My wound hurts sometimes.”
Gu Changle narrowed her eyes, feeling disgusted with Shao Xue.
The wound hurt? Humbug! It was just an excuse.
She just wanted to stay in the Shao Family.
Gu Changle pressed her lips, waiting for Shao Tianze’s reply.
Shao Tianze went easy on Shao Xue. He nodded and said, “Since the wound still hurts, stay at home to accompany Miaomiao.”
“OK.”
Shao Xue gave a smile.
It made Gu Changle look at Shao Xue with intenser hatred.
She had wanted Shao Xue to go to the Shao enterprise and leave Miaomiao.
Never had Gu Changle expected that Shao Xue made Shao Tianze approve of her remaining in the Shao Family.
How annoying!
Shao Xue followed Miaomiao wherever she went, just like in the hospital.
As for Gu Changle, Gu Miaomiao was troublesome enough. But now she had got another eyesore, Shao Xue, who was just like a watchdog looking over her shoulder.
Gu Changle felt that she could not do anything as she pleased.
And she couldn’t say whatever she wanted to say to Miaomiao.
After about an hour, Gu Changle couldn’t stand it anymore. She rubbed her brows with her hand, saying, “Tianze, can you return with Miaomiao and Shao Xue? I’m a bit tired.”
Hearing that Gu Changle urged her to leave, Shao Xue was much relieved.
Shao Tianze picked Miaomiao up and walked to Shao Xue, saying, “Take Miaomiao back for me.”
Shao Xue reached out and held Miaomiao in her arms. When Gu Changle heard Shao Tianze’s words, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Shao Tianze expectantly.
Shao Tianze also looked at her, saying, “I’ll stay here.”
“OK.”
Gu Changle suddenly felt much happier. Then she stretched out her fingers and grasped Shao Tianze’s.
Shao Tianze gently held Gu Changle’s fingers, sat onto her bed, and looked at her tenderly.
Seeing the two of them cast sheep’s eyes at each other, Shao Xue felt disgusted. Since Shao Tianze agreed that she could take Miaomiao back first, she wanted to leave now.
After saying goodbye to Shao Tianze with Miaomiao in her arms, Shao Xue left the hospital.
No sooner had Shao Xue got downstairs than she received a phone call.
Shao Xue answered the phone and heard Song Yunxuan’s voice.
“Where are you?”
“I just left the hospital.”
Song Yunxuan pumped her, “What did you do there?”
“Gu Changle wanted to see Miaomiao, so Shao Tianze was going to take her to the hospital. I was at home with Miaomiao then, so I went to the hospital with Shao Tianze and Miaomiao.”
Hearing that Gu Changle wanted to see Miaomiao, Song Yunxuan had a nasty feeling and felt uncomfortable.
It seemed that Shao Xue could understand what was on Song Yunxuan’s mind, so she said, “Don’t worry. I went there with Miaomiao and Gu Changle just had a few words with Miaomiao. And now I’m going home with Miaomiao.”
“That’s good.”
After pondering for a while, Song Yunxuan still reminded Shao Xue, “Try not to let Miaomiao be with Gu Changle. If it’s inevitable, you have to follow Miaomiao all along.”
Only if Shao Xue followed Miaomiao could Miaomiao be protected from Gu Changle.
Shao Xue nodded on hearing that and replied, “Rest a.s.sured. I’ll stay with Miaomiao to look after her for you.”
“OK. Thank you, Shao Xue.”
“It’s nothing. I also like Miaomiao, so I’ll definitely take good care of her.”
Shao Xue spoke to Song Yunxuan on the phone, walking forward with Miaomiao in her arms.
Miaomiao hung on Shao Xue’s neck. She heard that there was no sound on the other end.
She looked at Shao Xue who was hanging up the phone, asking her, “Aunt, who was that?”
“A person who cares a lot about you.”
With this, Shao Xue raised her hand and gently scratched Miaomiao’s nose.
Feeling that Shao Xue scratched her nose, Miaomiao stroked her nose, asking Shao Xue, “What did she say?”
“She said she missed you a lot and wanted me to stay with you and take good care of you.”
“Is that my elder brother?”
Miaomiao felt that there were not many people who cared about her like that except for her elder brother.
Hearing Miaomiao’s question, Shao Xue gently smiled, “No, it’s another person who cares about you. Have a guess?”
Teased by Shao Xue, Miaomiao really began to ponder, knitting her brows.
At the moment, Shao Xue had just got out of the hospital and prepared to get in the car.
Shao Xue worried that the chauffeur might hear the name Miaomiao guessed because the chauffeur might tell Shao Tianze about their conversation as he was Shao Tianze’s henchman.
So she whispered to Miaomiao, “If you’ve guessed the person, whisper to me, OK?”
Miaomiao nodded. Sure enough, she was pondering in earnest. After a while, Miaomiao pushed her face towards Shao Xue’s ear, asking her, “Is that Miss Yunxuan?”
Shao Xue was surprised as Miaomiao got it on the first try.
So she asked Miaomiao smilingly, “Why did you guess her?”
“Because no one else cares about me more than Miss Yunxuan except for my elder brother and dad.”
Hearing Miaomiao’s words, Shao Xue appeared to be annoyed, “Am I invisible?”
Reminded by Shao Xue, Miaomiao immediately realized that she forgot to mention her aunt.
Thus she promptly got closer to Shao Xue, coaxing her, “You are ranked after my elder brother and my dad because you are also my family. You are my favorite.”
Seeing that Miaomiao was trying her best to coax her, Shao Xue felt that she’d better stop teasing now.
So she raised her hand and gently scratched Miaomiao’s nose, saying, “If you forget me next time, I’ll leave you alone.”
Miaomiao threw her arms around Shao Xue’s neck, replying, “Even if so, I’ll never abandon you.”
Shao Xue was pleased, so she scooped Miaomiao in her arms and then put Miaomiao next to her, whispering in Miaomiao’s ear, “Yunxuan said that she missed you a lot.”
“I also miss her.”
“She also said that she wanted you to take good care of yourself.”
Miaomiao blinked her eyes, replying, “Tell Miss Yunxuan to take care of herself, too.”
“And…” Shao Xue paused for a moment.
Miaomiao’s big eyes were just like a doll’s, which had long lashes like little fans.
She looked at Shao Xue, asking her, “Tell me, and what?”
“And stay away from those who you don’t like.”
Shao Xue wasn’t sure if Miaomiao could understand her words.
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Miaomiao blinked her eyes and turned to look at Shao Xue, asking in a low voice, “Did you mean I should stay away from Aunt Changle?”
“Clever.”
“I will.”
Though Miaomiao was a kid, it seemed that she understood everything. She didn’t ask Shao Xue why.
