Chapter 562 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (2)
Upon learning that she and Jiang Chenbai were half-siblings, the girl ultimately chose to study abroad and never return.
Jiang Chenbai, on the other hand, was completely devastated and harbored resentment towards Lin Yumo.
Then I went abroad.
Later, Lin Yumo met Xu Ran, who looked very much like Jiang Chenbai, and the two started dating.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chenbai, who was abroad, matured a lot over time and gradually let go of the past.
Especially after hearing that the girl was already married and had children, he felt he should let go.
He ran into Lin Yumo again and decided to be with her.
That's how things unfolded.
As for why Xu Ran approached the original owner of this body...
This was because Xu Ran had seen a photo of Jiang Chenbai and that girl together.
The girl looked very much like the original owner of this body.
Upon seeing the original owner, Xu Ran, who had been used as a substitute for many years, suddenly had a dark thought for a moment.
His feelings were wantonly played with and trampled on, so why can't he hate and take revenge?
Therefore, he tacitly approved of the original owner's approach.
In his plan, he would marry the original owner of the body and then let Jiang Chenbai see the original owner's face, which resembled his sister's.
He knew that Jiang Chenbai would never let go of this face that was so similar.
But the owner of that face is already his wife.
And she loved him deeply.
Xu Ran could tell that the original owner loved him.
So what would happen to someone with Jiang Chenbai's personality?
Even when he learned that he and the girl were half-siblings, he disregarded ethics.
If that girl hadn't threatened suicide and begged him to let go with tears streaming down her face, he probably would have resorted to forceful means to take her away.
When he sees the original owner of this body, can he really remain calm and composed?
As long as he sees the original owner of this body, his marriage with Lin Yumo will never go smoothly.
Xu Ran thought, he was unhappy, so why should the instigators be able to live happily for the rest of their lives?
However, Xu Ran was not a heartless person after all.
Before getting the marriage certificate, he still told the original owner everything.
The choice was given to the original owner.
But the original owner only remained silent for less than a minute before giving him his answer.
"I do, even so, I am willing to marry you."
So the two got married.
Today is only the second day of their marriage.
The original owner moved into Xu Ran's house, but the two still slept in separate rooms.
The ward was very quiet, so the sound of the door opening was very clear.
Hearing the noise while lying in the hospital bed, Mu Zhou's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Xu Ran, dressed in a neat suit, was standing in front of the bed.
"Awake? Still feeling bad?"
He glanced at the IV bag, which was almost empty, and pressed the call button.
Xu Ran's concern seemed like a routine matter, and he didn't seem to care about Mu Zhou's answer.
A fleeting sadness crossed Mu Zhou's eyes, but she still forced a smile:
"It's alright. I'm sorry for making you worry and for troubling you to take me to the hospital."
Xu Ran's lips twitched, but she ultimately kept them closed and remained silent.
Before she fell into a deep sleep, she sent a message to Xu Ran.
I have a fever. Could you please buy me some fever-reducing medicine? I'm dizzy and my legs hurt so much I can't move. Thank you.
After that, no matter what Xu Ran sent, she didn't reply.
Fearing something might happen to her, Xu Ran had no choice but to come back in person.
The girl lay weakly on the hospital bed, her emotions clearly visible in her eyes.
Xu Ran could understand, but couldn't respond.
He avoided her gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
Have you had dinner?
Mu Zhou shook his head slowly.
Xu Ran took out her phone and tapped a few times. Just as Mu Zhou was about to fall asleep, the takeout finally arrived.
He bought porridge and steamed buns, both of which are easy to digest and relatively light.
Mu Zhou was hungry, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
Actually, Xu Ran bought a considerable amount, but Mu Zhou was so hungry that he ate it all.
She eats with great focus, not very fast, but she eats cleanly and efficiently, which makes the food look very appetizing.
Her cheeks puffed out slightly, making her already round face look even more like a little hamster.
It seems like they're trying to stock up on food.
After eating, her originally pale face gradually regained some color.
She finished the last mouthful of porridge, licked her lips, and sighed contentedly.
Xu Ran, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Seeing that she put down the spoon, he looked away and put his things away on his own.
After a while, the nurse came to take my temperature again.
After confirming that her fever had subsided, they gave her some more medicine and then told her she could leave.
The two then left the hospital.
Throughout the entire process, Mu Zhou and Xu Ran barely interacted.
Once home, Mu Zhou felt sleepy again. She yawned, and her eyes welled up with tears.
As Xu Ran was about to return to his room, Mu Zhou grabbed his hand:
"I need to prepare in advance what time I'm going tomorrow afternoon."
Tomorrow is Lin Yumo's birthday. Originally, Xu Ran wanted to bring Mu Zhou along on that day.
However, in the original story, the original owner did not tell anyone about her high fever, and Xu Ran slept at the company after working overtime until late at night.
When they returned the next evening, the original owner had already fainted from a high fever.
Ultimately, the fever wasn't treated in time, which led to symptoms like pneumonia, and he ended up staying in the hospital for a week.
Lin Yumo's birthday party was naturally also out of the question.
Not only her, but even Xu Ran couldn't make it.
This time, Mu Zhou will not be absent.
She's going to see someone.
Seeing that she was frail and swaying precariously, Xu Ran couldn't bear to see her struggling like this.
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"It's okay, my fever has gone down, I'll definitely be fine tomorrow."
Mu Zhou persisted in gripping his sleeve.
Xu Ran pondered for a moment and then agreed.
"I'll pick you up at 5:30 tomorrow."
"No need, the subway station right outside my company is conveniently located."
Xu Ran is their company's client; if he shows up, his colleagues and superiors will definitely be in an uproar.
Mu Zhou has no plans to make their marriage public yet.
She didn't want him to deliver it, and Xu Ran didn't insist.
The two went back to their respective rooms.

The next day, Mu Zhou felt much better, but after taking the fever reducer, he was drowsy all day.
I almost fell asleep at my workstation several times.
I only managed to wake up after washing my face in the restroom when it was almost time to leave work.
She dried the water off her face, and with no makeup on, she simply applied a few dabs of lip gloss to her lips.
Things are finally starting to look up a bit.
Her face could be described as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, but it wasn't the kind of angular, aggressive beauty.
Her beauty may be overlooked at times, but it can subtly and gradually encroach upon one's being, making one unconsciously fall into its spell.
Mu Zhou's light pink shirt and milk tea-colored pencil skirt today are a rather fashionable professional outfit.
She was initially worried about whether she needed to wear an evening gown, but Xu Ran said:
"No need for all that trouble. It's just a group of friends getting together; it's not a formal occasion."
So she was too lazy to change her clothes.
After getting ready, she headed towards the subway station.
Mu Zhou leaned against the armrest, closed his eyes to rest, and thought about the people he might meet tonight.
