Chapter: 4987
After that, he looked at the salesclerk and said, "Trouble me to settle the account; don't bother wrapping the ring. I'll just take it with me."
The salesclerk was completely taken aback, whispering cautiously, "Sir...are you really going to buy this ring? This one is worth $1.3 million..."
Su Shoudao nodded, pulling out his wallet and taking out a China UnionPay black gold card, handing it to the salesclerk and saying, "Hurry up and process the payment; I have other things to attend to."
When she saw this card, the salesclerk finally realized that the gentleman in front of her was indeed a true authority figure, so she quickly said with great respect, "Sir, please wait for just a moment...I'll help you settle the account..."
Very quickly, Su Shoudao signed his name on the receipt and stuffed the $13 million diamond ring into his pocket. Then, he went to Armani and picked out a suit that was barely passable for him to wear, although it was already ridiculously expensive for ordinary people. For someone of his level of wealth, wearing any garment from a brand-name store is an affront. Normally, the top tailors of these brands would come to his doorstep, take his measurements, and make a custom-made suit that fits him perfectly.
But circumstances being what they are, Su Shoudao no longer cared and simply put on the suit and put the ring in its pocket. He then went back to the guest room with Chen Zekai.
The hotel staff also brought up the 99 roses they had prepared, as is customary in Chinese culture, 99 symbolizing eternal love. Fortunately, the flowers provided by the hotel's reception desk were all top-quality and extremely fresh, each one exquisite and flawless.
At this moment, Xiao Ying was stirring restlessly in the bathtub. Su Rouli had been watching her mother from start to finish and knew that she would soon wake up. He then hastened around to the right side of the bathtub, extending his hand gently along his mother's right shoulder, searching for something in the mud.
Originally, Xiao Ying's right shoulder was a vertical wound with an irregular shape, due to the irregularity of the scar tissue. Although her arm had been severed at the joint, the random texture of the scar made it look like tree bark, with uneven lines and folds. Since Xiao Ying normally wore long sleeves, only Su Rouli knew about her damaged limb.
As Su Rouli had been taking care of her mother from a young age, she would often gently touch and ask her mom if it hurt when they slept together. As a result, she was extremely familiar with her mother's wound.
However, as she reached out to touch her mother's right shoulder, the vertical scar that resembled a cliff did not appear.
Instead, her hand felt the soft and plump shoulder of her mother.
At this moment, Su Rouli's hands were starting to tremble uncontrollably.
Then, she continued to move downwards along her mother's right shoulder, touching her upper arm, elbow, and forearm.
Finally, she reached what she had never seen or touched before - her mother's right hand!
In that instant, Su Rouli burst into tears!
From the time she was old enough to understand, every birthday wish she made was for her mother to become a normal person.
Although she knew this wish was impossible, she still couldn't help but use the most precious opportunity of each year to make this wish.
Who would have thought that what seemed like an impossible dream could also come true?
Overwhelmed with emotion, Su Ru Li grasped her mother's right hand with all ten fingers, lifting it out of the mud and then tightly gripping both hands around her mother's right hand.
At this moment, He Ying Xiu, as if just waking up from a full-body anesthesia, began to regain her visual clarity, starting from vague and gradually becoming clear.
As she looked at Su Ru Li, her face filled with maternal love asked, "Ru Li, why are you still crying?"
Su Ru Li held tightly onto her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face without stopping, while her mouth choked back the words, "I'm crying because I'm happy..."
He Ying Xiu didn't even notice that her right hand was being gripped by Su Ru Li. She had been living without a right arm for over 20 years and was completely accustomed to it. So when she saw her daughter crying uncontrollably, she subconsciously raised her left hand to help Su Ru Li wipe away her tears.
Just as her left hand was about to touch Su Ru Li's face, she suddenly froze like someone struck by lightning. JrNovels.com
