260: Chapter 260 Puzzled (Additional Chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fifth Update) 260: Chapter 260 Puzzled (Additional Chapter for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Fifth Update) Su Mo picked up the phone and tried to call Lin Zinuo.
Doodle-doo!
“Hello?”
Lin Zinuo replied with a hint of tiredness.
Su Mo was startled too, not expecting the call to be answered so quickly.
“I’m now at Imperial City Central Hospital, where are you?”
Su Mo got straight to the point.
“Why have you come?
I’m about to head to Building C2, the first floor payment hall.”
On the phone, Lin Zinuo was equally surprised; he hadn’t expected Su Mo to actually come over.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Su Mo looked around for the signs and made his way toward Building C2.
A moment later, Su Mo arrived at the lobby of Building C2 and saw Lin Zinuo dealing with the payment procedures.
He walked over and asked,
“Have you finished?”
“Yes.”
Lin Zinuo had just finished with the procedures.
“How’s your father holding up?”
Su Mo thought for a bit before asking.
“Not too bad, just the old problems flaring up.
But this time it’s a bit more troublesome; he’ll probably need to be hospitalized for a while.”
Lin Zinuo said helplessly to Su Mo.
Su Mo hesitated for a while, then took out the cash check from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zinuo.
“You take this and use it.”
“Why are you lending me money again?”
Lin Zinuo looked up in surprise at Su Mo.
“Didn’t you take out a loan to buy a car?
You probably don’t have much money on hand, right?
I can’t use it anyway, so you might as well take it.”
Su Mo thought it over and figured that this should be okay to say.
After hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo’s eyes moistened slightly, touched that Su Mo remembered the loan she mentioned offhandedly before.
She felt moved and then punched Su Mo lightly in the chest, laughing as she spoke, “Alright, you’re still decent.
I’ll accept it then.”
And so, Lin Zinuo put away the cash check.
At that moment, Lin Zinuo’s phone began to ring.
Lin Zinuo answered it.
“Hello, Mom, I’ve finished here and I’m coming up right now.”
After speaking, Lin Zinuo hung up the phone.
“I’m going up.
Do you want to come with me?”
Lin Zinuo turned her head and asked Su Mo.
“I’ll wait here a bit; Sister Xue also came.
She went to buy some fruit.
I’ll wait for her, and we can visit together later.
Which room is your father in?”
“Ah!
Sister Xue is here too?”
“Yep!”
“My father is in Room 503, on the fifth floor.”
“Got it, I’ll remember that.”
Su Mo nodded in response.
“Alright then, I’m heading up first.”
Lin Zinuo then ran toward the elevator.
Su Mo took out his phone and sent a message to Qian Chengxue; after sending it, he waited in place.
Elsewhere, Lin Zinuo took the elevator to the fifth-floor hospitalization area and walked down the ward corridor.
A middle-aged woman, dressed neatly and radiating intelligence and gentleness, was waiting there.
“Mom, I’m done.”
Lin Zinuo jogged over.
“You child, what’s the rush?
I haven’t even given you the bank card, and you ran down already,” said Lin Zinuo’s mother, Lin He, taking out a bank card and chastising her.
“It’s not necessary, Mom.
I have money now, I can earn it.”
Lin Zinuo replied cheerfully.
“Alright then, if you run out of money, talk to Mom.
Don’t carry everything on your own shoulders.
I know money isn’t easy to come by these days.”
“Don’t worry!
Oh, is Dad feeling any better?
Maybe I should go in and check on him.”
“Sigh, I think you better not.
You know how stubborn and obstinate your father can be.
The last time you argued with him and stormed out of the house, his heart condition nearly flared up.
Wouldn’t going in now just upset him?”
“Wasn’t that because he was being too much, insisting I find a boyfriend?
I’m only 24, for goodness’ sake.”
“I understand that you felt wronged, but he meant well.
Like he said, you’re at the prime of your youth.
If you don’t look now, you can’t wait until your ‘value’ decreases before you start looking, right?
Never mind, don’t go in.
It’ll just lead to another argument if you do.”
“I can’t just not see him, can I?”
“Ah, this…”
“Hold on, Mom, are you saying that it’s okay if I bring a boyfriend in?”
“You have a boyfriend?”
Lin He looked at Lin Zinuo with immense surprise and disbelief.
“Mom, never mind that, you go in first.”
Lin Zinuo urged Lin He to go inside.
Left with no choice and unable to persuade her daughter otherwise, Lin He turned and walked toward the ward.
Lin Zinuo lingered in place, feeling a headache coming on.
How was she going to fool her father?
Deceive him?
Just then, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue arrived, each of them carrying a fruit basket.
“Zinuo.”
Qian Chengxue greeted Lin Zinuo.
“Sister Xue!
It’s great that you came, why did you bring something?”
“Just a little gift, where is the ward?”
Qian Chengxue asked.
Lin Zinuo suddenly felt awkward, a bit caught between a rock and a hard place.
She couldn’t possibly tell Qian Chengxue that they couldn’t go in.
It would be too embarrassing to say that out loud, and it was at that moment when Lin Zinuo’s gaze unintentionally fell on Su Mo.
An idea flashed through her mind, why not temporarily use Su Mo as her scapegoat, to take the heat off for a while!
After all, with Su Mo’s emotional intelligence, he surely wouldn’t pick up on anything strange.
“This way!”
With this thought, she led them towards the ward.
Soon, the three of them pushed open the door and entered the ward.
This was an advanced private ward, very spacious, resembling a personal room with its own bathroom, as well as an independent kitchen and balcony.
All kinds of home appliances were available!
In the middle was a soft hospital bed, on which a serious-looking middle-aged man lay.
“Dad, we’re here to see you.
This is my boss, Ye Xue,” Lin Zinuo said with a forced smile as she introduced them.
“Hello, Uncle.”
Qian Chengxue put down the fruit basket and greeted him.
“Thank you for the concern.”
Lin Zinuo’s father, Lin Wei, thanked earnestly from the bed.
Then, Lin Wei turned his gaze toward Su Mo, who had come with them, revealing a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Lin Zinuo had never brought a boy over before, and Su Mo’s attire and demeanor were clearly different from Qian Chengxue’s, making it obvious that they were not a couple.
At that moment, Lin Zinuo naturally took the fruit basket from Su Mo’s hand and introduced him with a seemingly close attitude.
“This is Su Mo!”
Upon hearing this name, Lin He’s eyes brightened with incredulity as she scrutinized Su Mo.
She remembered that Lin Zinuo had mentioned this person to her before, and now he was brought before her.
Could it be there was something between them?
So, she questioned,
“So this is the Su Mo you mentioned.”
“Hello, Uncle, Auntie,” Su Mo greeted politely.
Seeing Lin Zinuo’s proactive behavior with the fruit basket and his wife’s reaction, Lin Wei frowned slightly.
Could this young man be someone his daughter had picked out?
With this thought, Lin Wei sat up straight and gestured for Su Mo to come closer.
“Su Mo, is it?
Come over here,” he beckoned.
At this, Su Mo was momentarily baffled and confused.
Lin Zinuo quickly kicked Su Mo with her heel.
After snapping back to reality, although still very perplexed, he complied and stepped forward.
Lin Wei observed Su Mo closely, his brow furrowed.
This young man looked a bit too striking, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Could it be that Lin Zinuo had fallen for just a pretty face?
This thought made Lin Wei feel even worse.
He had told Lin Zinuo to find someone, but not just anyone on a whim.
“Ah, the young man is quite handsome,” Lin He praised with a hearty laugh.
Standing in place, Su Mo felt increasingly awkward.
Lin Wei shot Lin He a sharp glance, then seriously asked Su Mo, “What’s your hometown?”
“Me?
From Demon City,” Su Mo replied truthfully.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s answer, Lin Wei nodded slightly and continued his questioning, “You look very young.
How old are you?”
“21, I guess,” Su Mo responded after a brief thought.
“Young, that’s good.
There’s a saying, ‘A woman three years older is like gold,'” Lin He remarked with increasing satisfaction as she looked at Su Mo.
Lin Zinuo almost tripped over herself, awkwardly saying to her mother, “Mom, what are you on about?”
