Chapter 2499: Chapter 303

Gu Zinan nodded with a smile, "Seems like it. If Zirui wants to study medicine, cousin might cry."

"What’s there to cry about? Just have a few more with Qingqing to be successors to Haochen." Momo teased with a laugh, crouching down to coax Mo Zirui to let go of Zinan’s clothes, then picked him up and carried him into the living room.

"That’s a good idea."

Gu Zinan laughed heartily.

If Zirui is willing to study medicine, it’s not just him, his father and grandfather would surely pass on all their knowledge to him.

Then, he wouldn’t have to bear the heavy burden of Kangning Hospital.

——

Zirui’s first birthday wasn’t celebrated extravagantly. Apart from a few families gathering together, a few "outsiders" also came.

Chu Junming and Feng Yize somehow learned about Zirui’s birthday and came uninvited.

Moreover, Huo Song, who had gradually become familiar with Mo Ziye over the past year, also came uninvited.

On the contrary, Ye Zhan had yet to show up.

Before dinner, Gu Kai received a call from the hospital. Though not knowing what was said on the other end, he frowned slightly and glanced over at Momo.

"I’ll head back shortly."

After hanging up, Gu Kai spoke to Mo Xiuchen and the others, "There’s an issue at the hospital, I need to go back. You don’t have to wait for me to eat."

Just then, Momo was listening to Qingqing and didn’t see Gu Kai’s glance, but Mo Xiuchen happened to catch his glance at Momo.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion, as he responded casually, "Hmm, you go ahead."

"I’ll give my brother a call to see why he hasn’t arrived yet."

Feng Yize noticed it was mealtime and Ye Zhan was still absent, while Huo Song, who arrived early, wasn’t staying close to Momo, but whenever she spoke to him, she smiled.

Thus, he couldn’t help but worry about his brother.

"No need to call, and no need to wait for Ye Zhan. He’s at the hospital."

Seeing Feng Yize take out his phone, Gu Kai spoke gently.

Nearby, Momo’s hand froze at the edge of the fruit platter. Without turning around, Feng Yize anxiously asked, "Uncle Gu, why is my brother at the hospital? Is he injured?"

"Hmm."

"How did he get hurt? Is it serious?" Feng Yize realized something, his face changed dramatically, continuing to ask, "Uncle Gu, was that call asking you to save my brother? If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean he’s in grave danger?"

"Yize, don’t say such things."

Chu Junming frowned and said, "Since that’s the case, we’ll go to the hospital with Uncle Gu. Second brother, are you going?"

Tang Jinchen nodded, saying to Gu Kai, "Dad, we’ll go with you."

Though he and Gu Zhitong hadn’t married yet, they shamelessly changed the way they addressed him during the Spring Festival.

Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi agreed to him being with Tongtong, and also tacitly accepted the change in address, even though they hadn’t yet given him a fee for the change.

After explaining briefly to the hosts, Feng Yize simply gave Momo a hopeful glance but didn’t dare to ask her if she wanted to go to the hospital too.

In the living room, Momo’s expression remained calm, without showing much emotion on her delicate face.

Huo Song, who had been observing her expression change from earlier, noticed she wasn’t expressing concern for Ye Zhan, feeling a bit happy yet slightly uneasy.

Four fewer people didn’t affect this feast.

Because Zirui wanted to stick with this new aunt Momo, and no one else, she had to let him sit beside her and take care of him throughout.

Though Zirui was only a year old, he insisted not letting others feed him, holding a small spoon, eating politely, in an orderly manner.

Momo only needed to occasionally help him wipe his mouth, give him food, and serve him soup.

Possibly due to this, she ate very little herself.

"Sister Momo, don’t worry about Zirui, you haven’t eaten much yourself."

Qingqing tried to reach over to wipe Zirui’s mouth, but before her hand touched his mouth, he waved his hand, rejecting her approach, mumbling clear enough, "Auntie, Auntie."

"I’m not that hungry, you eat, I’ll take care of Zirui."

Upon hearing this, Zirui lifted his adorable face and smiled at her, charming her so much her heart melted.

After lunch, Tang Jinchen and the others hadn’t returned.

Worried her father might be in the operating room, Gu Zhitong dialed Tang Jinchen’s number.

Meanwhile, Gu Zinan in front of the sofa adjusted the remote to a ten-minute news program, and the host’s magnetic, pleasant voice sounded with worry on the screen, "...if it weren’t for Young Master Ye risking his life to save him..."

"Turns out Ye Zhan got hurt saving someone."

"Ye Zhan looked pretty cool saving someone, without him, that child might not have made it."

When Momo turned to look, she caught a glimpse of that familiar figure on the screen, moving fast as lightning.

She didn’t see clearly how he saved the little boy, only the blood flowing from his body was reflected in her shrinking pupils.

"Mo Yang, want to go to the hospital with me? Jinchen said Ye Zhan’s injuries are quite serious..."

Not far away, Gu Zhitong stopped mid-sentence as she returned from calling.

Though the TV was on in the living room, because there were so many people, even with small speech sounds, it affected the TV’s sound.

She hadn’t heard the TV earlier; now she saw the screen image as she came and noticed Momo staring at it, so she paused.

"Sister Momo, you’ve never seen my office, have you? Anyway, you probably won’t be able to sleep, so come check out my office."

Gu Zinan said this, pressing the remote to switch off the TV, then asked Mo Ziye, who was chatting with Qin Mu nearby, if he wanted to see his office.

Mo Ziye politely declined, "I’ll pass, let your Sister Momo go; she might tolerate your taste."

"Cousin, what do you mean? Can’t we just hang out happily anymore?"

"No."

"Then I’m leaving. Sister Momo, let’s go."

Momo was dragged out of the living room by Gu Zinan.

Gu Zhitong followed behind them, watching them with a cheerful smile.

"Zinan, let go, I can walk myself."

Momo pulled her arm out from under Zinan’s grip, smoothing down the sleeve he crumpled a bit.

Gu Zinan nodded with a grin, "Sister Momo, I’m worried cousin wouldn’t let you visit the hospital. Knowing you’re surely concerned about Ye Zhan, I’m helping you."

Momo paused slightly in her movements, glared at him, "Are you a worm in my stomach? How do you know what I want to do?"

"Don’t forget I minor in psychology abroad, and have more talent in that area than you. Your face is filled with worry for Ye Zhan."

"Zinan, go get the car."

Gu Zhitong interrupted Gu Zinan, threading her arm through Momo’s, chuckling softly, "Ignore him. This kid’s old habits are acting up again."
