Mother He and Andol joined forces.
Mother He continued, "I'll be hospitalized for a while. As Family He's daughter-in-law, it shouldn't be too much for you to take care of your mother-in-law, right?"
"It's not too much! It's my duty to take care of you, Mother! "Qiao Qiao quickly expressed her loyalty.
Mother He raised her delicate eyebrows. "Alright then. I won't look for a special nurse during this period. You'll take care of me. Is that okay?"
"Sure!" Qiao Qiao wouldn't let go of even the slightest hope.
Mother He sneered in her heart when she saw how attentive Qiao Qiao was. She maintained a faint smile on her face, but there was no warmth in it. She turned her face away and said indifferently, "Then you can leave. I'm going to rest. Remember to take care of me tomorrow."
"Then we'll leave first. Have a good rest, Mother."
Qiao Qiao finally had the chance to change Mother He's opinion of her. Of course, she would go along with Mother He's wishes. She tugged at He Shaochen's hand and wanted to leave with him.
However, He Shaochen stood still.
He knew his mother well. Mother He was an extreme and stubborn person. It was impossible for her attitude to change so drastically in a single night.
Could there be something fishy about this?
He Shaochen was puzzled. He looked at Mother He and asked, "Mother, are you really willing to accept Qiao Qiao?"
Mother He paused. She turned around and smiled helplessly. "What else can I do? What do you want me to do? Lose my son? "
"…"
"You like Miss Qiao so much. If I don't go along with your wishes, I'm afraid you'll hate me for the rest of your life. I'm more afraid of losing my son than being with a daughter-in-law who doesn't like me."
Qiao Qiao instantly lowered her head. She was a little embarrassed.
He Shaochen's expression became a little unnatural when he heard this. "Mom … if you don't care about family status, you'll definitely like her."
"Hehe, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's talk about it first. I haven't really accepted Miss Qiao's intentions yet. I can only say that we're still in the observation period. If Miss Qiao can satisfy me while I'm hospitalized, I won't interfere in your affairs in the future. It doesn't matter if you guys want to make trouble like this."
"I will definitely take good care of you, Mom!" Qiao Qiao said seriously.
Mother He glanced at her. There was an indescribable coldness in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "I hope you can keep up this momentum."

After leaving the hospital, Qiao Qiao felt like she was dreaming. Mother He actually accepted her. She actually accepted her!
Qiao Qiao grabbed He Shaochen's clothes and said, "Shaochen, pinch me."
He Shaochen glanced at her. "What are you doing?"
Qiao Qiao raised her hand and scratched her cheek. She chuckled and said, "It feels so unbelievable. Mom is actually willing to give me another chance. I thought she would be like yesterday …"
He Shaochen stopped in his tracks. He pulled hard on Qiao Qiao's cheek and said with a smile, "Does it hurt?"
Her face was red from the pulling. Qiao Qiao touched her aching cheek. A look of innocence flashed across her amber eyes. She said honestly, "It hurts."
How honest.
He Shaochen was amused by her expression.
He pulled Qiao Qiao into his arms and said, "If you know it hurts, it means it's reality. My dad probably did some brainwashing on Mom. Since she's thought it through and is willing to give you another chance, you have to perform well!"
She knew that without him saying it.
Mother He had given her too much of a shock. It was like a person who had the mentality of going to hell being told to catch the last train to heaven. It was simply too exciting.
All of her worries and fears were swept away.
Qiao Qiao felt full of vitality and was full of yearning for the future.
"Shaochen, I'm so happy today!"
A big smile appeared on Qiaoqiao's face. Her smile was incomparably brilliant as she hugged him tightly and said with a smile: "I'm really happy right now, I feel like I'm floating!"
"You're still under observation," He Shaochen kindly reminded her.
Qiao Qiao didn't care. She continued to smile. "That's good. It's better than having no hope and a dark future. I'll take good care of Mom. I'll definitely change her opinion of me."
Seeing that she was so happy, He Shaochen's heart was also happy. He reached out and rubbed Qiao Qiao's head. He said helplessly, "How come I didn't know you were so easily satisfied?"
"Hehe, contentment is bliss. I'm satisfied that I can change Mom's opinion of me."
"As long as she can really let go of the concept of family status, I believe she'll definitely find something special about you." He Shaochen was the best that Mother He could get along with Qiao Qiao and Mother He.
"Yeah, that's what I'm praying for," Qiao Qiao said with a smile.
She was really happy today.
About an hour after the two of them left.
A graceful figure walked towards the hospital with elegant steps. She held a lunchbox in one hand and a bouquet of fresh lilies in the other.
Mother He was bored and staring out the window in a daze. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. A crisp and pleasant voice sounded. "Aunt Qiu, it's me."
Mother He was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she smiled and said, "Come in."
The door opened and Andol walked in with a quiet smile. "Aunt Qiu, how are you feeling? Do you still have chest tightness? "
Mother He shook her head. "I'm much better today."
She paused and said helplessly, "But when I saw that woman coming, I still felt terrible. Fortunately, I forced myself to hold it in."
"Haha, Aunt Qiu, you don't have to be angry over that kind of person. It's not worth it. Who knows how happy she will be if you hurt your body?" Andol put the lunchbox on the counter and placed the lilies in the vase.
After everything was done, she brushed the hair on the side of her face and tucked it behind her ear. There was a sweet and gentle smile on her beautiful face. "To deal with that kind of hypocritical woman, it's not enough to be tough with just a tough attitude."
Mother He heard Andol's words and sighed. "Of course Aunt Qiu knows that. So when I spoke to her, I suppressed my anger and treated her gently."
Andol smiled when she heard that. "How did Shaochen react?"
Mother He smiled when He Shaochen was mentioned. "Shaochen's attitude softened a little today. He probably believes that I'm willing to give that woman a chance."
Mother He was most afraid of He Shaochen's tough attitude.
He Shaochen's mother was always soft-hearted towards her son. If the other party's attitude was a little tougher, she would definitely be persuaded. But since she was the first to soften, He Shaochen wouldn't say anything.
Andol sat at Mother He's bedside and smiled. "I've been with Shaochen for so long, so I know his temper well. We can't go against him on this matter. He's a born leader and won't listen to others' advice. If you force him to submit, it will only make him resist more."
Mother He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this child has been stubborn since he was young."
"Aunt Qiu is pretending to be friendly now. Not only can she appease Shaochen, but she can also make that woman lower her guard. During the hospitalization, we can take our time. We will definitely force that woman to reveal her true colors."
A cold glint flashed across Andol's eyes.
Mother He smiled when she heard that. She held Andol's hand and spoke in a warm tone. Compared to her attitude towards Qiao Qiao, it was like heaven and earth. "Duoduo, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I would probably have fallen out with Shaochen by now."
Andol shook her head with a smile on her beautiful face. She comforted her. "Aunt Qiu, you don't have to thank me. I just don't want to see Shaochen being bewitched by that vicious woman. You did very well today. If you were to get involved with Shaochen, he would only be more dissatisfied with you. That woman would definitely take the opportunity to speak ill of you and sow discord between you and your son."
After hearing what she said, Mother He felt a little gloomy.
She sighed deeply and said, "Sigh, when I think about how that Joe Qiao is still shamelessly clinging onto our Shaochen, I feel terrible. I have never met such a shameless woman. I feel disgusted just by looking at her. When will this day come to an end?"
Andol smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Qiu. She will soon reveal her fox tail."
Mother He could only comfort herself with this. She sighed and said, "I hope your method will really work. I really don't want to see her again. I hope that during my hospitalization, it will be the last time we see each other."
"Haha, it will."
The two of them were silent for a while.
Mother He looked at Andol again and sized her up.
She had a beautiful face and a graceful bearing. Her every frown and smile revealed the demeanor of a noble family. Moreover, she was a true young lady from a prestigious family.
Mother He opened her mouth and said regretfully, "Sigh, Duoduo, why didn't you become my daughter-in-law? I used to think highly of the two of you, but why … "
Hearing Mother He's words, Andol narrowed her eyes and smiled bitterly. "I was the one who let go of his hand. I can only blame myself."
Mother He could hear the softness in Andol's words and asked kindly, "Duoduo, don't tell me that you still have feelings for Shaochen …"
Andol lowered her head and forced a bitter smile. "Aunt Qiu, Shaochen and I are already in the past. If we miss each other, then it's over."
There was indeed a chance!
Mother He could hear the softness in Andol's words. As expected, she still loved her son!
"No, Duoduo, don't think of it that way!"
Mother He was overjoyed and continued to persuade her. "You and Shaochen have been together for so many years. Feelings can't be broken so easily. He's just being blinded by Joe Qiao and can't see the good in you."
Mother He had the idea of matchmaking He Shaochen and Andol.
How could Andol not understand Mother He's meaning?
She looked at the beautiful lady in front of her and saw that her thoughts were written all over her face. She laughed in her heart. This was a true young lady who didn't know the ways of the world.
Andol's eyes flashed. She continued to shake her head and smiled bitterly. "Aunt Qiu, you don't have to comfort me anymore. Shaochen and I are impossible."
Mother He suddenly became anxious. "Believe me, Shaochen still has feelings for you. Otherwise, why didn't he find another woman after you left for so many years?"
"Really?"
"Really," Mother He said with absolute certainty.
Andol smiled knowingly and said gratefully, "Aunt Qiu, thank you for comforting me."
Mother He's heart softened at her delicate and pitiful appearance. She touched Andol's cheek and said gently, "Aunt Qiu should be the one thanking you for Duoduo. Thanks to your reminder, Aunt Qiu finally knows what to do."
When Andol saw that Mother He trusted her so wholeheartedly, she knew that she had achieved her goal.
Mother He was completely on her side.
She forced a smile and said, "Actually, I didn't want to use this method, but for Shaochen's sake … Sigh, I hope Miss Qiao will back off in the face of difficulties and stop trying to drive a wedge between us."
Andol appeared generous and kind.
Mother He touched Andol's cheek with heartache. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. "Duoduo is really a kind child. Only a girl like you is worthy of our Shaochen."
