When these people saw Su Jin bringing a handsome man for a visit, they all looked over.

“Mom, I brought Hengyuan here.”

As Su Jin led him to the window beside the bed, her adoptive mother, who was talking to the caretaker, turned her head around.

As for Jin Hengyuan, his gaze landed on his mother-in-law as soon as he entered the room. Her sickly face was no longer as round as pearls and smooth as jade like it used to be back then. Upon seeing him, her initially dull pupils lit up and traces of suspicion flashed past her eyes before her eyebrows furrowed lightly.

Jin Hengyuan saw it clearly and understood that his mother-in-law had recognized him.

“Hello, Mother. I’m Jin Hengyuan.”

Jin Hengyuan transferred the items he was carrying onto the table and smiled warmly as he introduced himself respectfully.

Su Jin’s adoptive mother was called Yao Mei.

The adoptive mother that Su Jin recognized was someone who was really gentle when she was being gentle. Since Su Jin was young, Yao Mei rarely lost her temper.

However, this time, Yao Mei was truly angry that Su Jin had gotten married in such a hurry.

“Have a seat!”

Fortunately, Yao Mei did not tell Su Jin to chase Jin Hengyuan away. Instead, she pointed at the stool beside the bed and even gestured for her to make them tea. She also had her pull the curtains close between the bed and the rest of the ward, isolating herself from the eyes of others.

Her foster mother then began to ask after Jin Hengyuan’s family situation softly.

Jin Hengyuan’s answer was similar to what he had told Su Jin previously during the blind date.

Su Jin had also heard Granny Wang mention these things before. His parents were divorced, had married other people, and lived in the suburbs, leaving only his grandparents in their old house in Jia City. He was running errands at a certain law firm in Shanghai. The remuneration was pretty good; there was accommodation, social insurance, and a monthly salary…

Yao Mei was listening calmly the whole time. After he was done speaking, she nodded and said, “I only found out about your marriage yesterday. I was initially angry. Firstly, it’s because Xiao Jin was too reckless this time. Secondly, you placed more importance on business than personal matters. Right after registering your marriage, you left my Xiao Jin behind. You don’t take my Xiao Jin seriously…”

Jin Hengyuan immediately did a self-reflection. “It’s indeed my fault for handling matters so thoughtlessly. It’s just that the date for that business trip was set long ago. I’m just a subordinate so I can’t reject it.”

The court date really wasn’t something he could change just because he wanted to.

“However, Mom, don’t worry. From now on, I’ll prioritize my family. I won’t let Xiao Jin suffer anymore. If you don’t believe me, I’ll give my payroll card to Xiao Su for safekeeping today!”

After saying this, he really grabbed his wallet, took out a bank card, and slapped it onto Su Jin’s hand. “My monthly salary, full attendance bonus, quarterly bonus, and year-end bonus are all on this card. In the future, in our family, Xiao Jin will be in charge of the finances.”

Su Jin did not expect him to do this and was stunned for a moment. She had wanted to return it at first, but when she turned around and saw Yao Mei staring at her with a dark expression, she smiled instead and took the opportunity to put it into her bag. “Mom, I’ve said before that Hengyuan is really a good person. Don’t worry!”
