Chapter 467: The Mother's Gift

ng at her face.Fu Xiaoyao's brow furrowed. She followed his gaze and touched her face with a puzzled expression, "What else"A flash of an expression Lu Hanchuan couldn't decipher crossed his eyes. Hi...The Shi family was located in Country M. When they arrived, it was evening there.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't stand the long flight and fell asleep early. Even when the plane landed, she didn't wake up. In the end, she was carried off the plane by Shi Mo and pushed away in a wheelchair.

On the hospital side, Shi Mu had already made arrangements, so Shi Mo took Fu Xiao Yao directly there.

The next day, Fu Xiaoyao woke up at noon.

She listened to the hushed voice beside her, her body shifting slightly as she opened her eyes.

"Oh, YaoYao is awake," a gentle female voice sounded.

Fu Xiao Yao subconsciously looked towards her. After seeing her face, she was astonished, "Mom"

It was the mother speaking.

Shi Mu, hearing this voice of "Ma," her heart melted. Red-eyed, she repeatedly responded, "It's Ma, it's Ma."

Fu Xiaoyao propped herself up and tried to sit up.

When the mother saw this, she glared at her son standing beside her. "What are you doing just standing there Hurry up and help your sister up."

Shi Mo raised an eyebrow, then shook his head with a chuckle. He walked forward and helped Fu Xiaoyao up, letting her lean against the headboard.

"Mom, how did you get here This is..." Fu Xiaoyao looked around, taking in her surroundings.

Shi Mo sat by her bedside, kindly holding her hand. “This is the hospital, I came here especially to see you, Yaoyao. Now we’ve finally met, it’s so good!”

Fu Xiaoyao blushed and lowered her head, "Well... I'm happy too."

The mother's eyes were full of love, "Your father couldn't come over. He has something to do at his company and can't get away. He'll come see you when he has time."

"It's alright, he...he can come anytime." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand and said.

She had never met her father, nor spoken to him, let alone called him "Dad".

So at this moment, she couldn't scream and it was also embarrassing to scream.

If she shouted, she felt an overwhelming urge to be a daughter of the Shi family right away, which wasn't good.

"Yaoyao is very considerate." Shi's mother laughed happily, then thought of something and asked Shi Mo to bring her bag over.

She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small gift box, handing it to Fu Xiaoyao. "Xiaoyao, this is your welcome present from Mom and Dad."

"Meeting gift" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback by Shi's mother's sudden action. After reacting, she shook her head repeatedly and refused, "Mom, you take it back, I can't accept it."

This is the first time they've met, and she already has to receive a gift. She feels deeply indebted.

However, the mother was very insistent. “Yao Yao, this is a gift from your mother to you. How could you possibly return it Listen to me and take it!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she shoved the gift box into Fu Xiaoyao's hands.

Fu Xiaoyao looked helplessly to Shi Mo for help.

Shi Mo shrugged, "Mom's right, this is a gift she gave to her daughter, so you should let it go. Besides, as an older brother, I should also prepare a gift for you. I wouldn't have forgotten about this. I'll make it up to you next time."

"No..."

"You can't refuse!" Shi Mo directly stopped Fu Xiaoyao from preparing to refuse.

Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth but couldn't speak. She lowered her head, looking at the small gift in her hand with a mix of emotion and complexity.

"Mom touched her face, "Open it and see if you like it"

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at her mother, and under her encouraging gaze, she subconsciously nodded, "Okay."

Then, Fu Xiaoyao pulled open the ribbon on the gift box and opened it. Inside was an extremely luxurious and beautiful blue sapphire necklace.

Looking at this necklace, Fu Xiaoyao's hand holding the gift box trembled, her mouth agape. "This...this is too valuable!"

Shi Mu covered her lips and smiled twice, "Where is it expensive, my daughter deserves the best, come, Mom put it on for you!"

She reached out and took the box from Fu Xiaoyao's hand, about to take out the necklace.

But Shi Mo stopped her, "Mom, Yao Yao is not convenient to wear this now. Let's wait until we hold a banquet for her after she appears and then let her wear it."

When Shi Mu heard this, she took a look at Fu Xiao Yao's current appearance and nodded in agreement. "You are right, I wasn't thinking things through. Okay, then I will wear it at the banquet."

After finishing, she put the necklace back in the box and returned it to Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao first let out a sigh of relief at not having to wear such an expensive necklace, and then asked in confusion, "What kind of banquet"

"Well, we're planning a press conference for you to announce the return of the prodigal daughter." Shi Mo replied.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, a little worried, "Won't the outside world know that I'm not the real Shiyao They exposing me doesn't matter, I'm just worried about my grandmother. My grandmother finally saw her long-awaited granddaughter, but what if someone tells her that the granddaughter she met is fake She would definitely be heartbroken."

Shi Mo looked at Fu Xiaoyao with loving eyes, "Yaoyao, you are truly a kind child, rest assured, no one will expose it. When Yaoyao passed away, we didn't announce it to the public. Even Yaoyao's funeral was held in secret. The outside world only knows that Shi family's daughter is not well and has been recuperating in a sanatorium."

"That's right, all these years, the outside world has long forgotten what Shijia's heiress looks like. With your appearance, we can tell the outside world that Shijia's heiress is already healthy." Shi Mo continued.

Fu Xiaoyao understood, and the worry in her heart subsided. However, she still couldn't bring herself to feel happy.

She reached up to touch the bandage on her face, "That's good then, but with me looking like this, I don't even know if I'll be able to recover. What if I can't Then you won't be able to hold the banquet at all, will you"

Hearing this, Shi Mu and Shi Mo exchanged glances and both burst into laughter.

Fu Xiaoyao was full of questions, wondering what they were laughing at.

"I haven't told you yet, but while you were still asleep, we were already talking about this." Her mother looked at her gently.

Fu Xiaoyao tilted her head, "What's the matter"

“It’s the burns on your body.” Shi Mo pointed to the bandages on her face and body. “A top-tier cosmetic surgeon came this morning to diagnose you, but you were asleep, so you don’t know. After examining the severity of your burns, he gave an answer!”

"What answer" Fu Xiaoyao's heart pounded.

"The answer is, it can be cured!" smiled Shi Mo.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned.

After a while, she regained her composure. Her body trembled with excitement, and tears of joy streamed from her eyes. Even her voice was trembling with happiness as she stammered, “Can it really be cured”

"Yes, it's true. Dr. Peter is the best plastic surgeon in M country. He said he could cure it, so he definitely can." Shi Mo nodded affirmatively.

Fu Xiaoyao's little mouth pouted, and she started to cry.

Shi Mu and Shi Mo both knew she was too happy, and they didn't stop her, letting her cry.

After she had cried enough, Shi Mo said again: "Dr. Peter was doing research on skin three years ago. He wanted to create artificial human skin for patients who needed skin grafts. As you know, many people who have received skin transplants have noticeable color differences in their skin, and some can even see the scars of the stitches."

"I know this is because the patient's own skin cannot fully fuse with the transplanted skin, which is why this happens," Fu Xiaoyao responded.

Shi Mo gave her a approving look. "That's right, Dr. Peter is a perfectionist. He doesn't want his patients to have this kind of phenomenon, so he has been researching prosthetic skin that can completely merge with the patient's original skin."

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao boldly guessed, "Did he succeed in his research"other questions" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him."No, but about that forensic doctor and that psychologist, we'll interrogate them together after we catch Qi Ya." The male officer closed his notebook.Fu Xiao...
