Jian Yu was suspicious, but he knew his sister well. She wouldn't do something so out of line such as bringing her puppy love home.
Wu Shaoqi's thoughts were not on the two of them. With a worried look, he immediately said, "How's your mother's condition? What illness does she have that she has to undergo surgery?"
Jian Yu first pulled Wu Shaoqi to a chair in the corridor and sat down. Then, he said, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. The doctor said that there's no big problem. She can definitely recover."
Jian Yu didn't mention liver cancer, afraid that it would scare Uncle Wu.
Over the years, their mother had been taking care of the two children alone. If Uncle Wu had not helped them, the difficulties would have been unimaginable. Therefore, other than respect and gratitude towards Uncle Wu, Jian Ai and Jian Yu had long treated him as a family member closer to them than their Elder Uncle and Younger Uncle.
