Chapter 615 - 596: You Are Not Related by Blood
Two hours later, Shen Youran came downstairs and saw Lou Xi and Ji Nanming chatting happily, suddenly feeling that this scene was quite nice.
In the past, Shen Youran often wondered what kind of person would be a match for Ji Nanming, always feeling that no one could measure up to such a handsome and virtuous man like Ji Nanming, rare in this world.
She had always been worried about Ji Nanming’s marriage, but this child had his own ideas, and for so many years, she hadn’t seen him bring a girl home.
Seeing that he was reaching a marriageable age, if he didn’t get married soon, Shen Youran feared he might remain a bachelor for life.
When Shen Youran came downstairs and saw Lou Xi and Ji Nanming sitting at the dining table, looking as if they were having a meeting, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"Xixi, Nan Ming, you’ve already met each other, right?" Shen Youran spoke up to interrupt their impromptu meeting.
Ji Nanming closed the file, stood up from his chair, and said, "Elina, good morning."
"Thanks for coming all the way from Monaco, are you tired?"
"As long as Elina asked me to come, even if I’m tired, I’m happy."
"You and your sweet words." Shen Youran smiled softly.
But then quickly realized that Lou Xi had just lost her husband and they shouldn’t be acting happy in front of her.
As it happened, Lou Xi also stood up from her chair, "Mom, you all chat slowly, I’ll go upstairs to change."
"Alright, come down to eat breakfast later." Shen Youran watched Lou Xi go upstairs.
Once Lou Xi’s figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, Shen Youran slowly turned her head to look at her handsome foster son.
"Nan Ming, what do you think of Xixi?"
Ji Nanming heard his foster mother’s words, seriously considered for a moment, and then answered, "Pure, sometimes too pure isn’t good, easy to be bullied."
From the brief meeting with Lou Xi just now, it could be seen that Lou Xi is straightforward, a person without scheming.
In a small social environment, she may be well-liked, but in a larger setting, her personality might suffer losses.
Especially in a survival-of-the-fittest environment.
However, he could see that Lou Xi wanted to change and was trying hard to make herself stronger.
Watching Lou Xi’s learning process made Ji Nanming find it very interesting.
"Would you be willing to protect her?"
"She is a sister, and of course, a brother has the obligation to protect his sister." Ji Nanming answered without a flaw.
"You’re not related by blood."
"Mom," Ji Nanming would only call Shen Youran "Mom" when he was very serious, so Ji Nanming was reminding Shen Youran that he and Lou Xi are siblings in name only, "It seems you’ve been too idle recently."
Shen Youran pouted, not continuing to make Ji Nanming take care of Lou Xi.
"After all these years, I finally found Xixi, and originally thought she would be happy marrying her beloved, but who knew her husband would die unexpectedly. As a mother, my heart aches." Shen Youran said, her eyes slightly reddened.
Ji Nanming carefully packed away the documents on the table, "The model of a devoted mother."
"You should help share some of the burden."
"Aren’t I helping you share it?" Ji Nanming’s willingness to come to Nancheng was his way of helping Shen Youran share the burden.
...
Lou Xi returned to her room and called the nurse from the private hospital.
A video call.
The phone was held by the nurse, showing Qin Mobai’s lifeless face on the screen, without any sign of waking up.
Lou Xi couldn’t remember how long she had been looking at Qin Mobai, maybe ten minutes, maybe longer.
Then Lou Xi asked the nurse on the call, "How is he doing today?"
The nurse sighed softly.
