After boarding and checking the ticket, Chen Mei'Er secretly swapped seats with Li Kuo, then cuddled up next to Xiaofan and had a good sleep.

No wonder, she had been thinking about what clothes to wear today and where to go with Xiaofan all night until she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

She got up early this morning, got the family driver to take her to the airport right away and had been waiting ever since. Lack of sleep needed to be made up for, of course.

Today, Chen Mei'Er was wearing a floral spaghetti-strap dress, looking youthful and energetic.

Anyway, in this lifetime, she wouldn't look at other men. At most, she could only be interested in women. So, wherever this man goes in the future, she'll go too, as long as he doesn't despise or abandon her. Who cares about Shen Zuimo, Liu Siyan, and the like; at worst, she'll just be the third or fourth wheel.

"Say it again. You can follow obediently but don't keep nagging about buying this and that..." After getting off the plane and leaving the airport, Xiaofan said once more.

"Okay, I'll be good, I promise not to disturb you. Even if you go flirt with those M Country girls, I'll just watch quietly and not interfere," Chen Mei'Er vowed with utmost sincerity.

But, half an hour later.

"Wow, sorry to interrupt, driver, please stop the car; I want to buy something." Saying this, Chen Mei'Er got off the long luxury sedan from Li Kuo's family and happily ran to a street vendor to buy accessories, picking out quite a few items.

Alright, trust this woman three-tenths... no, not even one-tenth.

Back in the car again, seeing Xiaofan's dissatisfied look, Chen Mei'Er immediately smiled and said, "Just once, just this once, I promise."

"Don't make promises. So you don't end up contradicting yourself."

Las Vegas, the biggest gambling city in the world. Once a desert, it became one of the most prosperous cities in M Country within a few decades.

"Uncle Chen, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Oh, young master, there's no need to be so formal. I've been a driver for so many years, and the Li Family treats me the best. You don't have to worry too much; the hospital said that the old lady's condition will gradually improve."

"Okay. Has Lingxue finished school yet?"

"Not yet, but soon."

"Then let's pick her up first, so you don't have to make another trip later."

"Sounds good."

The car stopped by the side of the university's entrance, and like usual, Han Lingxue walked over slowly upon seeing it. But, when she saw someone getting out of the car, her steps froze for a moment, a smile and tears appeared on her delicate face almost simultaneously. Then she ran over quickly and hugged him tightly.

Just holding him, not wanting to let go.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming ahead of time?"

"Wanted to surprise you."

"Not surprising at all. When my brother called me the morning before yesterday, he didn't tell me either," she said that it wasn't a surprise, but she held onto Li Kuo's arm tightly, afraid that if she let go, he'd disappear.

The distance between the two countries is quite far, so such a time difference is normal. Morning and night are reciprocal.

"Hi."

After getting into the car, Xiaofan deliberately greeted. The car was large, so four people didn't feel cramped at all.

"Hello." She had already heard from Li Kuo that Xiaofan was his best friend, and her brother was now hanging out with him too.

The car went all the way to the hospital.

The ward was quite comfortable, with three nurses taking turns caring for the old lady meticulously.

Emotionally, Li Kuo is not a strong person. The fact that Xiaofan made him cry after graduating middle school was enough proof.

So, before he even entered the ward, tears were streaming down his face.

"Auntie, look who's here."

Auntie's complexion was rosy, and she looked energetic. When she saw Han Lingxue enter, her eyes slightly wrinkled, seeming very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

But when she saw Li Kuo, her body began to tremble slightly, tears silently falling down. Her lips moved for a long time, but she couldn't speak.

"Mom..."

Calling out "Mom," the tears just held back started to pour out again.

Xiaofan sighed in his heart, quietly walking to the balcony. If he had discovered earlier that the Red Butterfly was targeting the Li Family, such a tragedy could have been avoided. But now, it's too late for regret. This time, Xiaofan must uproot this tumor, preventing more families from being torn apart and in turmoil by these bastards.

"You rest and recover well here. Everything with the company is normal; you've met Xiaofan who is now the chairman of the Ren Clan. With his help, our family's company has doubled. I'm doing well too, and when you recover, I'll marry Lingxue and give you a chubby grandson..."

Li Kuo had a lot to say to his mother but kept avoiding talking about his father. He's afraid to mention it, fearing it would hurt his mother. Although she had already guessed the outcome, he still dared not touch upon that scar.

"Xiaofan, come here for a moment."

Suddenly, Li Kuo shouted towards Xiaofan on the balcony.

"What's up?"

"My mom's lips keep moving, but why can't she speak?"

"Hmm?" Xiaofan's expression changed instantly; he immediately placed his hand on Auntie's wrist.

As soon as Xiaofan placed his hand on Auntie's pulse, his eyebrows knit together instantly.

"How is it?"

"The meridians are severely blocked. It must've been caused by a serious brain injury. However, the blockage isn't closed; I'll try to slowly clear it with my Inner Strength. But, we can't rush."

"Okay, be careful."

"Don't worry. Auntie won't get hurt. Auntie, I'm Xiaofan, do you recognize me? I'm going to clear your body a bit; if you're willing, blink twice in a row, if not, blink three times."

Blink blink. Twice, seems like it's okay. Of course, there's absolute trust in a son's friend.

"Support her, go slowly."

Taking a chair to sit down, Xiaofan gently placed his hand on Auntie's back, using the slowest True Qi to slowly maneuver through the blocked meridians.

"Ku... Kuo..."

Half an hour later, a voice finally came from Auntie's mouth. Moreover, her fingers began to move.

"Xiaofan... did you hear, hear that? My mom called me, my mom called me." Li Kuo joyfully grasped his mother's hand tightly, the whole person like a little child.

"Phew." Xiaofan took a deep breath, slowly reining in the Qi.

"Xiaofan, why did you stop?" Li Kuo hurriedly asked.

"Auntie's Dantian is already full; we have to wait a day to continue. However, the main issue is the severe nerve damage; you needn't worry, as long as there's slow recuperation, recovery at any pace is fine."

"Alright. Then, should we stay a few more days before heading back?"

"Of course, that's no problem at all." Here, before Xiaofan even responded, Chen Mei'Er answered right away, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Li Kuo is your good friend; staying a few more days for your friend's mom doesn't mean anything."
