Lu Yanchen patted my head. "Okay, no more trouble."
I always felt like his words were too doting!
I stood up again, thinking I'd send Lu Yanchen and Aunt Wang away so I could chat with Grandma alone.
Lu Yanchen would be easy to leave, but Aunt Wang wouldn't trust an outsider like me.
Just as I was thinking this, Lu Yanchen spoke:
"By the way, the fruit I bought for the old lady is in the car. Aunt Wang, my legs aren't good, can you come with me to get it?"
Aunt Wang looked at me, clearly concerned about me being here alone.
I smiled at her. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Grandma. Besides, it's broad daylight, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Nothing will happen."
Maybe I looked too much like Su Wan, or maybe it was because Lu Yanchen had taken the poisonous orchid pot away last time that Aunt Wang thought we were safe. She hesitated for a moment before refusing, "That's a bother."
After the two men left, I didn't bother to think about why Lu Yanchen had forgotten to bring the fruit. I quickly leaned over and hugged Grandma.
"Grandma, I'm sorry for all the suffering you've endured. You must get better soon."
The hand holding mine was trembling, and I was surprised to find that Grandma was actually able to hold my hand back.
This meant she was much better, not at all like Aunt Wang had said.
She had even managed to trick Aunt Wang.
But against someone as vicious as Su Ning'an, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Especially in Grandma's current state, she couldn't withstand even the slightest bit of wind and rain.
I lowered my voice, "Grandma, can you speak now?"
Grandma opened her mouth, her lips trembling. She spoke slowly, unable to form a complete sentence. But she could still utter a few syllables: "Wan... Wan."
Tears welled up in my eyes with excitement. "It's me, Grandma, it's me!"
She raised her hand tremblingly, trying to touch my face. I quickly placed my cheek against hers.
Grandma's palm, roughened by age, felt warm, and she tried to wipe my tears with a trembling hand.
"Don't...don't cry."
"Okay, I won't cry. I'm just so happy."
I frantically wiped away my tears. Grandma's recovery was such great news!
When she could finally form her words, she would become my ultimate trump card, revealing everything that vicious woman Su Ning'an had done to her.
"Grandma, we don't have much time, so I'll keep it short."
I told her what had happened since my rebirth, and Grandma's eyes lit up with relief. "Wan, great!"
She struggled to say those two words, then continued, "Chen, yes, you..."
I nodded repeatedly. "I wasn't lying. He was truly very kind to me, respectful, and considerate. You can rest assured, I'm very happy in the Lu family. Grandma, I will return our misfortunes double to Su Ning'an!"
After a moment's thought, I asked, "I saw how cruel Su Ning'an was to you earlier. She wasn't simply after shares; it seemed like she harbored a deep hatred for the Su family and you. Su Ning'an destroyed the body, and the police are still investigating. We don't know how long this will take. Grandma, if you have any leads you can share with me, perhaps we'll uncover something new."
Su Ning'an is only in her twenties. It's impossible for her to have a deep hatred for Grandma.
She couldn't have killed me alone; it was most likely a gang.
It's true I want revenge on Su Ning'an, but I also want to catch the gang behind her!
If this person is Grandma's enemy, then the investigation will be much easier. Grandma opened her mouth and said, "Zhang... family."
Just then, Aunt Wang came in carrying nutritional supplements and fruit, and I got my answer.
"Miss Jiang, why are you crying?"
I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes. "Seeing Grandma's pitiful face, unable to speak, reminded me of my own family, and it just came to me. Aunt Wang, Grandma will be relying on you to take care of her now."
"Miss Jiang, you don't know. The old lady was kind to me when she was young. My life belongs to her, so I'll take good care of her."
I sat for a while before leaving with Lu Yanchen.
Just as I was about to leave the hospital, Lu Yanchen said, "No rush. Since we're here, let's go see a good show."
"A good show?"
"Do you think the Su family's show right now is good?"
It's definitely going to be exciting. I've been so caught up in Grandma's influence that I almost forgot about it.
Su Ning'an's mask has been torn off, and I'm curious about the Su family's attitude towards her. But I didn't expect that when Lu Yanchen and I arrived at the door, Mrs. Fu would raise her hand and slap Su Ning'an hard across the face.
"You're a fake, a jinx! You've brought disgrace to our Fu family."
Mrs. Fu, wearing a cheongsam and expensive bracelets, couldn't hide the bitterness on her face.
"I even called all my friends and family to see you. You've made me lose face in front of my family."
Su Ning'an had risen so quickly over the years; she'd never suffered such an injustice.
The wound on her face had just been bandaged when she was slapped again. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was emaciated. "My dear in-laws, this can't be blamed entirely on An An. It's that bitch Jiang Wanwan. She set a trap and harmed my daughter."
I hadn't expected my involvement in this. I sneered, "Mrs. Su, it seems you haven't gotten enough of the slapping yet. You still dare to shirk responsibility in the face of irrefutable evidence? What? Did I force your daughter to impersonate Su Wan at knifepoint?"
As soon as she saw me at the door, Mrs. Su was furious. "What are you doing here?"
She nearly rubbed the skin off the sticky rotten eggs on her body!
I, the culprit, had appeared here again. Mrs. Su was furious.
"What else could I do? Of course, I came to visit Sister Ning An. I heard she has a bad heart."
I leaned closer to Su Ning An and smiled sweetly. "Sister, although you have a heart condition, I've heard that the evil lasts for a thousand years. You should be fine."
Su Ning An had said this to me before, when I had a cold and a fever and none of my family cared about me. I nearly died in bed, while she, wearing a protective mask, her eyes beaming, spoke the most wicked words in the gentlest voice.
Now, the boomerang has returned.
Su Ning'an's chest heaved with rage. "Get out! I don't want you to come see me!"
"Sister, you must take good care of yourself, or else your pregnancy..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu suddenly looked towards me. "What's she pregnant with?"
