She actively brought me to a friend's gathering, which turned out to be...

Chapter Fifteen: A Difficult Conscience

"Wasn't Aunt Xu called away by Miss Xie a few days ago?"

Xu Yanshu's face turned pale instantly, and his mind went blank for a moment. After regaining his senses, he said he would rush over immediately.

Xie Huanyu sensed something was wrong. Seeing Xu Yanshu turn and walk away, she subconsciously followed, but unexpectedly, she was pushed away by the man as soon as she got close.

"you……"

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as Xu Yanshu gritted her teeth and questioned, "Why did you transfer Aunt Xu away? You know perfectly well that Grandma can't be left alone."

The hospital director said they've searched everywhere they can think of, and he doesn't know where else the grandmother could have gone by herself.

Xie Huanyu felt a little guilty when asked, and then stammered out an explanation.

"I just gave Aunt Xu a break. I can always call her back right away. Besides, there are so many caregivers at the nursing home..."

"The person has disappeared!"

After saying that, Xu Yanshu rushed out of the house.

Gone...

Xie Huanyu's mind went blank for a moment, then she chased after him and hurriedly got into the passenger seat of Xu Yanshu's car.

"I didn't mean to..."

Xie Huanyu had barely opened her mouth when Xu Yanshu shot her back with a sharp glare. The man's icy expression resembled that of a jade-faced demon who had returned from hell.

He knew Xie Huanyu too well; she thought he was just throwing a tantrum and disappearing, so she deliberately sent Aunt Xu away.

Grandma has always only wanted to be taken care of by Aunt Xu, so he will definitely take the initiative to bow down and beg for peace for Grandma's sake.

Suppressing the anger that was about to erupt within him, Xu Yanshu pondered to himself where his grandmother might have gone.

Given Grandma's current condition, every minute she stays outside increases the danger.

Xie Huanyu shut his mouth, his nervousness visibly palpable.

She did give Aunt Xu the day off so that Xu Yanshu would contact her first, thinking that with so many caregivers and managers at the sanatorium, there shouldn't be any major problems, but she never expected...

Her hands were clasped tightly in the shadows. Xie Huanyu silently prayed that her grandmother would be safe and sound, otherwise she would be haunted by guilt for the rest of her life.

Xu Yanshu searched every place he could think of, but still found nothing, until he went to the apartment building where his family had lived, clinging to his last hope.

Seeing his grandmother sitting safely on the sofa, Xu Yanshu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Grandma, what brings you here!

"I came back to get the photo album!" Grandma answered frankly. Noticing Xie Huanyu following behind, her eyes lit up with surprise, and her tone became a little aggrieved, "Little Yu'er, why did it take you so long to come see Grandma?"

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I've been too busy at work lately!"

Xie Huanyu stepped forward, her voice low and full of apology, "Grandma, why did you come out alone? Xu Yanshu and I were so worried."

Seeing the redness in Xie Huanyu's eyes, the old lady took Xie Huanyu's hand with heartache and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, it's all Grandma's fault."

"I suddenly remembered this photo album, so I came back, but I'm getting old and I don't even know where I should go back to."

"It's strange, there's not a single picture of you in this album, Yu'er. It's such a pity."

Such gentle treatment brought Xie Huanyu to tears instantly. She unconsciously turned her head to the other side and bit her lower lip tightly to stop herself from crying out loud.

Xu Yanshu had quickly calmed himself down and patiently began to speak.

"Now that the photo album has been found, I'll take you back first!"

Xie Huanyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Grandma, next time I come I'll bring my camera and we'll take lots and lots of photos together!"

Noticing the woman's probing gaze, Xu Yanshu looked away first, and his expression became noticeably calmer.

The old man noticed this, and after getting up, he reached out and patted Xu Yanshu on the shoulder, his voice tinged with reproach.

"You brat, don't bully my little girl again."

Xu Yanshu was somewhat amused and exasperated, but Xie Huanyu took the initiative to speak up and help him out of the awkward situation.

"Grandma, don't worry, Yan Shu treats me very well."

The old lady patted Xie Huanyu's little hand affectionately and said reproachfully, "You're his wife, it's only natural that he treats you well!"

To avoid causing his grandmother any more worry, Xu Yanshu didn't show any emotion, and the two of them took the old lady back to the nursing home together.

Aunt Xu was also waiting in the room early, and as soon as they met, she helped the old man with his washing and tidying up in great detail.

Xu Yanshu observed everything, and after the old man fell asleep, he called the person aside.

"Aunt Xu, I am very grateful to you for taking care of Grandma all this time, but there are some things I need to make clear to you."

Having already noticed that the other person's expression was a little off, Aunt Xu nodded cautiously, "Go on."

"Although you originally came from the Xie family, I'm the one paying your salary now. Shouldn't you let me know before you take a vacation or ask for leave?"

"But...you and Miss Xie are husband and wife, doesn't she represent you?"

“No,” Xu Yanshu rejected without hesitation, his expression becoming even more serious. “I am me, and she is her.”

"I only found out you weren't with Grandma after receiving a call from the dean, which is why she had the opportunity to sneak out. If you can't guarantee that, I'll have no choice but to fire you!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Huanyu, in order to force him to submit, set her sights on his grandmother.

Thankfully, his grandmother was alright. Xu Yanshu also realized his negligence. To avoid a similar situation from happening again in the future, he had no choice but to lay out the unpleasant truth beforehand.

If we can't reach an agreement on this point, then we'll have to replace him.

Xie Huanyu, who came out from the inner room, overheard these words. She didn't expect Xu Yanshu to say something so harsh, and her expression changed drastically.

Unfortunately, she was indeed in the wrong, so she couldn't argue back and could only pretend she hadn't heard anything.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu hurriedly replied, "I understand, I understand, I can guarantee that this situation will not happen again!"

After all, Xu Yanshu was offering her three times her salary, and the old lady was usually easy to take care of, so she didn't want to lose her job.

Having said that, Xu Yanshu didn't say anything more.

Watching Aunt Xu walk into the ward, he didn't follow her immediately, but instead went to the balcony and started smoking.

Even dragons have their Achilles' heel, and today's events have completely crossed his bottom line.

Xie Huanyu followed closely to the man's side, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Xu Yanshu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I will never do it again..."

Having no interest in hearing the apology, Xu Yanshu interrupted directly, "I will not give up the idea of ​​divorce. As long as you agree to sign, I can leave with nothing."
