The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 371

Xu Yun looked at him, hesitating to speak.

After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Do you, do you like Nannan?"

"What?!" Xun Wu was dumbfounded.

No, how could he possibly like his boss.

That was simply impossible; he knew her too well, so he never harbored any other feelings for her and always treated her like "family," like his sister.

"No, no, no, I don’t like her, I just think of my boss as a sister! Did you misunderstand something?"

Xu Yun became even more puzzled, "Then why did you come to invite me to dinner on behalf of Nannan?"

Xun Wu: "..."

Wasn’t that the best excuse?

With a forced laugh, he said, "My sister, of course, I care about her, and if I care about her, I care about her friends. Do you understand?"

Xu Yun didn’t quite understand.

"Heh, coward." Jiang Nanshu’s voice suddenly resounded from behind.

Xun Wu: "..."

His face turned red with embarrassment.

There was a sense of helplessness, like being caught bathing and unable to find one’s clothes.

Xu Yun’s eyes lit up, "Nannan, I need to talk to you."

"Come in to talk," Jiang Nanshu led the way inside.

The two followed, and Xun Wu closed the door.

Jiang Nanshu sat in an office chair, looking at documents.

Her lush hair was all tied up, revealing a clean forehead, and a few rogue strands playfully dangled beside her cheeks, creating a serene feeling of peaceful years.

The next words Xu Yun wanted to say stuck in her throat, unable to comprehend why Jiang Nanshu’s life had to be so tough.

Jiang Nanshu waited for a while, seeing Xu Yun look at her hesitantly, and felt it odd, "Why are you looking at me like that? As if I am about to die."

"Ooh..."

Jiang Nanshu had made it worse.

As soon as she spoke, Xu Yun burst into tears.

Jiang Nanshu watched, stunned, as she started crying within a second.

Xun Wu was also taken aback and hastily pulled tissues from the desk for her, "No... why are you crying? Were you bullied at the hospital? Tell me who was bold enough to bully you, I’ll deal with them!"

"No, it’s neither of that..." Xu Yun wiped her tears, "It’s Nannan, ooh, she’s sick."

Jiang Nanshu paused, her expression softened, thinking it was something negligible.

"Why are you crying if I am sick? It’s not hurting you, there, it’s nothing, my body is still strong, I won’t die anytime soon."

Xu Yun, her eyes red, looked at her, "The doctor said they found shadows in your lungs, it might be lung cancer. Having this disease needs timely treatment. You’re coming with me to the hospital for checks tomorrow, in case it’s a misdiagnosis."

"Lung, lung cancer? My boss?" Xun Wu looked from Jiang Nanshu to Xu Yun.

His smile was somewhat strained, "What joke is this? She is lively and kicking, I’m watching over her."

"It’s true, look, Nannan’s medical report is still here. The doctor said early detection and treatment can control the condition and it can be cured, it’s going to be okay." Xu Yun, reassuring herself by the end, "It will be fine, Nannan is still young, she has a long road ahead."

Jiang Nanshu initially couldn’t believe such a thing could happen to her, but then recalled the years Zhou Yanbai confined her next to the chemical factory; the radiation there was significant, coupled with poor nutrition, her health had deteriorated.

In a moment, she accepted it.

She had already died once, dying again was no big deal.

And chemotherapy was ugly; it would cause hair loss.

Jiang Nanshu touched her lush, dense black hair; she definitely did not want to be bald.

"I won’t get treated."
