Chapter 1934: Studying Abroad (5)
She lowered her head, blinked her eyes, and took a deep breath to suppress the impulse to walk over, then opened the door and entered the hospital room.
Inside the ward, when Lu Zishu saw her come in, he immediately asked anxiously, "Mom, where’s my brother? Is he really going abroad?"
Zhao Li took another deep breath and asked him, "What exactly happened today?"
Facing Zhao Li’s sharp gaze, Lu Zishu didn’t dare to hide anything. He endured the pain and quietly recounted the events of the day, including the conversation between Lu Xian and Ruan Chi in the car.
When Zhao Li heard Lu Zishu say that Lu Xian wanted to try hard once so that he wouldn’t regret it in the future, she felt a pang of distress. But when she heard the foolish words that followed from Lu Zishu, she was so angry that she slapped him directly.
"Lu Zishu, you’re eighteen years old! Not eight! Do you not know what you should say and what you shouldn’t?" Zhao Li roared with uncontrollable anger, her eyes reddening with rage.
Although she usually seemed to have numerous complaints about Lu Zishu, in reality, from childhood to adulthood, both she and Lu Zhiwei have always favored him more among the two brothers. They were not as strict with him as with Lu Xian, almost letting him grow up freely. They never expected much from him as long as he lived happily.
Just like back then with the college entrance exams, Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Lei, and Duan Xi attended the top universities, while his score only allowed him into a bottom-tier university. Neither she nor Lu Zhiwei had ever said anything about it, because they had an elder brother bearing responsibilities ahead, so they didn’t have many demands on this son and let him fool around every day.
Growing up, perhaps due to always being with Ruan Jiaojiao and them, he didn’t turn out bad, except for having a bit of a foul mouth. However, she never expected him to make such a mistake now.
Early on, when Ruan Jiaojiao was in middle school, both the Ruan Family and Zhao Li could see Duan Xi’s feelings, so in their eyes, it was only natural for the two to be together, and it was a certainty.
