Surgery comes with risks; she really fears those risks being magnified.

After comforting her mother, Chu Xiaoge left the hospital with Chuchu.

She intended to go home, but just as she reached downstairs, two men dressed like bodyguards in black suits stopped her and Chuchu.

"Madam, the young master asked us to take you and the young lady home."

"Young master? Shang Dongyuan?" Chu Xiaoge frowned, a bit wary.

Could it be another of Shang Bifang’s schemes?

The bodyguards knew that Chu Xiaoge would not easily get in the car with them, so they dialed Shang Dongyuan’s phone and handed the phone to Chu Xiaoge.

Chu Xiaoge took it skeptically, and just as she held the phone to her ear, Shang Dongyuan’s familiar voice came through.

"Xiao Ge, get in the car with them. Don’t go home tonight, come to my place."

"...Oh." Chu Xiaoge was a bit puzzled; Shang Dongyuan specifically arranged for people to pick her and Chuchu up?

This was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Then Chu Xiaoge took Chuchu and got into the car.

In the car, Chuchu asked Chu Xiaoge, confused, "Mom, are we going to Dad’s place?"

"Yes, we are."

"As long as we’re not going to Grandpa and Grandma’s house. Grandpa and Grandma are really scary, Chuchu doesn’t like them."

A child’s heart is actually very rich and sensitive, she can sense who doesn’t like her.

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Chu Xiaoge quickly corrected, "Grandpa and Grandma are just Dad’s parents, they really like you. It’s just that they’re a bit nervous because they just met you. You shouldn’t dislike them, understood?"

"Oh..." Chuchu nodded, half-understanding, snuggled up and hugged her mother’s waist, starting to act cute, "Anyway, I’m fine as long as I have Mom."

Before, she only had her mother, now suddenly having so many relatives, it’s really a bit hard to adjust!

The car drove to Shang Dongyuan’s private villa.

Shang Dongyuan must have instructed ahead of time, because as Chu Xiaoge and Chuchu got out of the car, a room full of servants respectfully greeted, "Madam, young lady."

Feeling a bit scared, Chuchu hid behind her mother, extremely quiet.

Chu Xiaoge was also a bit baffled and asked, "Where’s Shang Dongyuan?"

Then a steward walked over and replied, "The young master called earlier saying he would come back later, and asked Madam and the young lady to rest first."

"Okay. Then please take me to Chuchu’s room first? She should sleep now." Chu Xiaoge wasn’t reserved anymore; since it was arranged by Shang Dongyuan, everything should be alright.

At this point, she could only bring Chuchu here.

On Shang Dongyuan’s turf, Shang Bifang still wouldn’t dare to make a move.

If she took Chuchu back to the old neighborhood, who knows when Shang Bifang’s people would act.

"Alright, please follow me, Madam." The steward nodded, leading Chu Xiaoge upstairs.

After bathing Chuchu and settling her on the bed, Chu Xiaoge told her many fairy tales, yet the little one still didn’t fall asleep.

"Mom, did something bad happen? Grandpa said he needs to cut on his chest... what does that mean?"

So the little one was worried about Grandpa’s surgery tomorrow.

Chu Xiaoge laughed, leaned down to kiss her head, and gently comforted, "Sweetheart, Grandpa’s heart has a narrowed blood vessel, and the doctor will use a little contraption like a stent to help open up the narrow coronary artery, so Grandpa’s health will improve."
