Chapter 718 - 724: Gifts from Good Friends Must Be Cherished
"You should cook a little something and bring it over. Your dad woke up, and the doctor said he can have some porridge."
"Okay, I’ll be there soon."
After she spoke, she hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Chu Xiaoge ran back to her room and found various sizes of jade and gemstones on the bookshelf.
These were all given to her by Xiangsi back in the day, worth over ten million...
Now, five years have passed, and these items probably have appreciated in value again.
Chuchu saw her mother staring at the stones in a daze for a long time and pulled her sleeve, curiously asking, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Chu Xiaoge came back to her senses and smiled at the stones, "Do you know, Chuchu? These were given to me by a good friend. These stones are very valuable."
"Valuable? Can they buy Chuchu a lot of lollipops?" Chuchu asked innocently, her black eyes almost turning into little hearts as she stared at the stones!
It was like she saw many lollipops!
"You little glutton, all you think about is lollipops!" Chu Xiaoge pretended to be angry and pinched Chuchu’s cheek, teaching her, "These stones can’t be sold for money. You must cherish what a good friend gives you, understand?"
"Oh..." Chuchu nodded, earnestly remembering her mother’s words!
Chu Xiaoge looked at the jade stones a little longer and reminisced about the times with Xiangsi and Alan, which lifted her spirits considerably.
While tending to Chuchu, she cooked some millet porridge and brought it to the hospital.
She didn’t enter the ward but let Li Li take it in.
When Li Li came out, she told Chu Xiaoge that Chu Lianghua had eaten the porridge.
Chu Xiaoge was overjoyed; she knew that her father had a tough exterior but a soft heart.
She was his only daughter, and over the years, he had sold off everything to look for her, now leaving him with many ailments.
As his daughter, she felt truly unworthy...
After chatting with Li Li for a while, Chu Xiaoge took Chuchu back home to settle down.
Early the next morning, she first took Chuchu to the hospital again before heading to work.
It just so happened to be her day off, with only a morning shift, so she could spend the afternoon looking for a kindergarten for Chuchu.
Like the day before, she took the subway to the company, arriving half an hour before check-in.
Standing in front of the Gambling Stone City’s gate with her cute backpack, Chu Xiaoge took a deep breath and smiled, cheering herself up.
"It’s another beautiful day! You can do it, Chu Xiaoge!"
With this wonderful wish, Chu Xiaoge took a step forward, ready to go inside.
But as soon as she took the first step, she was stopped by Miao Miao, who had arrived as well.
"You’re here quite early, huh?"
Chu Xiaoge turned around and saw it was Miao Miao; her brows instinctively furrowed.
She had thought Miao Miao was a nice colleague, but it turned out she was a manipulative woman.
Yesterday, she had extorted money from her...
Chu Xiaoge just looked at her, not wanting to speak.
She was like that—she clustered with people she liked, and didn’t care to say a word to those she didn’t.
Retracting her gaze, Chu Xiaoge prepared to ignore Miao Miao.
This angered Miao Miao, who quickly walked up and blocked Chu Xiaoge, reprimanding her with authority.
"When did you start siding with Zhang Xiaowen? As soon as you got here, you knew to latch onto her? Don’t think just because she’s got your back, you can do whatever you want!"
"I don’t want to do whatever I want here; I just want to work hard." Chu Xiaoge diverted her gaze, trying to leave.
