Chapter 143: Pretending to be Ill Became a Real Illness

  The reporter's whisper was not loud, but Han Xiangru heard it. Although Old Lady Mu didn't hear clearly, she also got a general idea and her face didn't look good either.

  Although many people in the top families of Hansheng knew that the Mu family had a useless main house besides the second house in power, the main house never appeared in public view, making it impossible for them to get any information from that side, so they had to come to the hospital to guard.

  A reporter asked hastily: "Mrs. Mu, I heard that Gu Qinger is an adopted daughter of the Mu family. Why didn't she come to pick you up from the hospital today?"

  The old lady had seen big scenes before and quickly got her composure back.

  "You guys are talking about Qīngqīng, these two days many people want to recruit her into a prestigious university, it's been really busy."

  This further proved that Gu Qing didn't come, and the reporters' interest suddenly decreased by half.

  But since I've come all this way, I couldn't just leave empty-handed, so I casually asked a few questions.

  Mrs. Mu is very kind and knowledgeable, and when asked why she adopted Gu Qingqing, Mrs. Mu's eyes lit up slightly, revealing the charm of her personality as the head of the Mu family.

  "At the time, I thought that child was not ordinary. By rights, she shouldn't have been adopted at seventeen years old, but I pitied her for being driven out by the Ye family and having no one to rely on, so I let my eldest son adopt her."

  "Unexpectedly, this child is so promising, always ranking first in the city's exams, and has even entered the research team of the Huake Institute, and won the final assessment of the Pei Conglomerate."

  "These achievements are inseparable from our family's upbringing, but also a testament to her intelligence..."

  The core idea is that one's own vision is good, the family environment is good, and the family has a promising future.

  "But just a few days ago, it was exposed that she cheated, and you want to drive her out of the Mu family and even separated from the main house because of this?"

  Mrs. Mu's face suddenly turned black.

  They have such good control over public opinion that someone would even ask such an impolite question, it's probably that unfilial son Mo Jing Shan who intentionally leaked it out.

  Hmph!

  She forced a smile, "These are all rumors and nonsense, must be our business rivals' vicious slanders! Don't spread rumors, our Mu family is doing well!"

  Mu Ji-shan and Han Xiang-ru didn't speak to each other.

  Actually, people who understand the Mu family should know whether this is a rumor or not.

  Previously, he had distanced himself from Da Fang and Gu Qingqing, only because he was worried about being blamed by the Pei Corporation. Now, he wants to curry favor with them again, isn't it just because Gu Qingqing has gained recognition from the Pei Corporation, and is now hitting him in the face with her strength?

  Even if she really cheated this time, it's more terrifying than ordinary recognition that Pei Yihang, the president of the Pei Group, would help her cheat.

  The Mu family wants to climb up the Pei's financial group, of course, they must grasp Gu Qinger tightly.

  The reporter is not a fool, everyone knows it in their heart, so they just go through the motions on the surface.

  Han Xiangru dressed herself up elegantly and her daughter was also elegant and dignified, but throughout the whole time, no one asked them a single question. All the topics were centered around Gu Qingqing. At first, Old Lady Mu responded with ease, until a reporter took out a medical record and medication list and said:

  "Mrs. Mu, is this hospitalization of yours a fake one? Otherwise, how can you explain these medical records?"

  A doctor can help you tell lies, but the medicine that has been actually used is impossible to fake.

  "This look, even Mu Ji Shan was anxious: "Where did you get these things from?""

  The reporter didn't answer him, but continued to ask: "I heard that Mrs. Mu pretended to be ill and deliberately made things difficult for your son Mu Jing Shan, even causing his wife Tang Wei to be seriously scalded. She also used her fake illness as an excuse to force Gu Qingqing to withdraw from the competition for the position at Huake Institute and the Pei family's financial group, which ultimately led to Mu Jing Shan leaving the Mu family..."

  This is directly exposing the Mou family's secrets!

  The old lady's eyes turned black and almost fainted, but Han Xiangru reacted quickly.

  "Are you bribed by Mu Jing Shan to intentionally slander my mother-in-law? My mother-in-law is such a good person, she was driven to hospitalization by Mu Jing Shan's actions, and yet you're helping him turn the tables on her. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

  The old lady was originally a drama queen, and she had never been stingy with pretending to be ill or in pain to bother Mu Jing Shan and Tang Wei. At this moment, being "wronged" like this, how could she bear it?

  He put his hand to his forehead and almost fainted.

  Han Xiangru quickly called a doctor, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

  "Which platform's journalist are you? I remember, just wait and see, I'll sue you! Slandering our Mu family, and causing my mother-in-law to fall ill..."

  This is obviously a trap, now which journalist still dares to ask?

  The doctor arrived faster than expected, and it was still the attending physician from the previous hospitalization department.

  "Mrs. Mu, you have a hematoma on your head, don't get excited, be careful not to rupture the blood vessels and worsen the condition!"

  The doctor's face was tense, and the reporters looked at each other in confusion. Was this a real illness or a fake one?

  Out of a sense of justice, they certainly wouldn't ask any more questions, and Mu Jishan and Han Xiangru were able to safely escort the person back to their hospital room.

  Mrs. Mu let out a sigh of relief, "Doctor, thank you."

  "The doctor's face turned red with sweat, 'This is all our mistake at work, we made an error in the test report, and we should apologize to you!'"

  After finishing speaking, he also brought a group of nurses to bow and apologize solemnly.

  The Mo family was momentarily stunned.

  Han Xiangru looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, didn't the reporter follow us?"

  This play is too realistic.

  At this time, Mu Qingwen also rushed back.

  "Mom, are you okay? You scared me to death!"

  Mrs. Mu has calmed down, she said: "It must be Mu Jing Shan who leaked the news on purpose and let the reporters come to question me, you're still siding with them! Now, you should see their true nature!"

  "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm asking about your health. Just now, the examination room called me and said that your brain MRI report was taken wrong."

  The old lady looked at the doctor, then at her usually elegant daughter who was now sweating, and suddenly felt a jolt in her heart. Her gaze finally fell on the doctor: "What did you just say is growing in my brain?"

  The doctor tried to use euphemistic language to avoid adding to the patient's psychological burden: "It's not a tumor, but a hematoma. Mild cases may result in hemiplegia and aphasia, while severe cases can be life-threatening. However, you don't have to worry, fortunately it was discovered early and the condition hasn't developed to that point yet. It can be treated with surgery or conservative treatment, but since the cause is still unclear, it's best to go to Jinshan Hospital in Tokyo to see a top expert."

  Jinshan Hospital is the number one comprehensive hospital in China and has the most mature and advanced craniotomy technology.

  "What did you say?"

  Mrs. Mu's legs went soft with fear, "Will I be paralyzed and lose my speech? Will it put my life in danger?"

  She was just faking illness, how did she really get sick now?

  Mu Jiashan's family of three turned pale, "Doctor, don't scare my mom, she's old and has a bad heart!"

  The doctor was also in a dilemma. Although the Hansung Central Hospital is one of the best in Seoul, its overall medical strength and comprehensive capabilities are barely among the top twenty nationwide, and at best, it's only around fifteenth, which is worlds apart from the very top ones.

  "I'm just being cautious, I suggest you go to Tokyo's Kanayama Hospital for a check-up."

  Mrs. Mu's energy was completely drained, and Mu Qingwen quickly supported her, "Mom, don't be afraid, we'll book a ticket to the capital right away!"

  Mu Qingwen immediately borrowed the influence of the Imperial Capital Wang family to contact experts from Jinshan Hospital. After reviewing the examination report, they tactfully said: "Madam Mu is old, her blood vessels are brittle, and the risk of surgery is high. It's best to choose conservative treatment. You can go ask the Lu family, their Ghost Gate Needle is extraordinary, maybe it can needle out the disease."

  Lu Laojiu, a giant in the Chinese medical community, renowned for his extraordinary needle technique that has earned him international acclaim. His patients are all high-ranking government officials; even among the wealthy and powerful, only a select few aristocratic families have the privilege of seeking his treatment. Ordinary people don't stand a chance.

  Mei Qing Wan said that it would be better for Jinshan Hospital to take in Old Lady Mei, and then they could think of a solution slowly after arriving in the capital.
