Chapter 95 My aunt suffered a lot of grievances

Shao Min and Shao Yun were both tight-lipped; clearly, neither of them told Shao Muyan that Yu Yan had been to the hospital.

Shao Muyan then assumed that his release was the result of his second brother's machinations, which forced Xiang Jingheng to sign a settlement agreement.

It seems he overestimated the weight of his words and underestimated Xiang Jingheng's stubbornness.

Yu Yan sensed that Uncle Yan was angry, and after giving a soft "hmm", she didn't know what else to say.

"You take a shower first."

Shao Muyan stood up. Although he was unhappy, he still calmly said to Yu Yan, "After you take a shower, I'll have a good chat with you."

Yu Yan felt a chill run down her spine and obediently uttered a soft "Yes."

Shao Muyan took Shao Yun to the bathroom to take a shower. While he was rinsing him, Shao Yun looked at Shao Muyan with his big, wet eyes and said, "Uncle, don't scold Auntie."

He pursed his lips. "My aunt suffered a lot of grievances at the hospital today."

Shao Yun didn't say much, but those two sentences carried great weight for Shao Muyan.

I've suffered a lot of injustice...

Shao Muyan felt a chill run down his spine, his brow furrowed, and his hands felt heavy.

He specifically asked Director Wen to pass on a message, instructing Yu Yan not to go to the hospital to see Xiang Jingheng, because he was afraid that if Xiang Jingheng got into a bad mood, he would say something nonsense that would anger Yu Yan.

Shao Muyan kept a straight face and remained silent.

Back in the room, Shao Yun squeezed Shao Muyan's arm, wanting him to say something.

My uncle's stern face was quite intimidating.

He felt scared; his aunt was a girl, so he had to be even gentler with her.

"Don't worry, I won't scold Yu Yan."

Shao Muyan said, "I just wanted to reason with her."

"..."

After taking a shower, Yu Yan went out on her own and saw Shao Muyan standing at the door with medicine. She obediently called out, "Uncle Yan."

Before he could even be scolded, he chickened out first.

"Come to our room." She had just finished showering, and it wasn't appropriate for Shao Muyan to go to her room.

Yu Yan, dressed in pajamas and with her hair tied up with a shark clip, tiptoed in through her slippers and asked, "Is this appropriate? Yunyun is asleep, don't disturb his sleep."

"It's alright, Auntie."

Shao Yun propped her head up from the bed. "Come in, I'm not sleepy yet."

Yu Yan then went inside.

Shao Muyan directly saw through the child's intention, "He's afraid I'll scold you, so he wants to keep an eye on me and protect you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yan smiled and walked over to pat Shao Yun's head.

During the day, the children would protect her. This protection stemmed from their heartfelt affection and care for her, without any ulterior motives; it was pure and unadulterated.

"Sit here."

Shao Muyan had Yu Yan sit on the stool at the foot of the bed, opened the first-aid kit, and used tweezers to hold a cotton ball to disinfect and apply medicine to her forehead.

Yu Yan looked up at Shao Muyan, who was applying medicine to her forehead, and said, "Uncle Yan, you need to put some ointment on your forehead too."

It's still popular.

Shao Muyan glanced at her and gave a faint "hmm".

Yu Yan: "..."

She's still angry.

Minjie always said that she was straightforward and naive, but after looking at Uncle Yan, she realized that he was just as naive as her, always wearing his heart on his sleeve, whether he was happy or unhappy.

It can be as obvious as it gets.

Unfortunately, Yu Yan was not good at coaxing people. She had thought of some words while taking a shower, but now she couldn't say anything and could only silently scratch the sheets with her fingers.

When the ointment is applied, a thin layer of white mist quickly turns into water droplets, leaving a cool and refreshing feeling.

"It feels so good." Yu Yan couldn't help but look at Shao Muyan's hand. "What kind of ointment is this?"

Shao Muyan held a small porcelain bottle in his hand. He knew that Yu Yan was talking to him, but he couldn't bear to ignore her. "It's medicine that Mei Su brought back from Su Ci Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic."

Yu Yan understood; it was a product of a divine physician, no wonder it was so effective.

Shao Muyan blew on Yu Yan's forehead, and a refreshing minty scent wafted out. Yu Yan tensed up and immediately gripped the bed sheet tightly with both hands.

...My mind was completely dazed by that gust of wind.

"The medicine will only work if it is fully absorbed," Shao Muyan said, looking at her.

Yu Yan was stunned for a moment, then mumbled a random "hmm".

After treating the wound on her forehead, Shao Muyan knelt down to treat the wound on her knee.

The rolled-up trouser legs revealed the bluish-purple bruises, which still made Shao Muyan frown.

He stared at the wound for a long time, then asked Yu Yan, "Does it hurt?"

Yu Yan was drawn into his deep gaze, her breath hitched slightly, and she shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."

The bump hurt quite a bit, like I'd twisted a bone, but it was only for a moment. I gritted my teeth and got through it, and then the pain subsided.

"Of course it hurts, it's not like it's made of iron."

Shao Muyan carefully treated Yu Yan's knee and said in a deep voice, "Yu Yan, do my words carry any weight with you?"

These simple words struck a chord with Yu Yan.

She met Shao Muyan's gaze again and nodded almost subconsciously, "It works."

Seeing that Shao Muyan remained silent, Yu Yan knew she was in the wrong, so she looked him in the eye and added, "It works."

Shao Muyan gave her a deep look before continuing to apply the medicine.

"As long as it works. Stay away from the Xiang family from now on. They've hurt you too much. They don't care, but I do."

Shao Muyan spoke very bluntly today, and each sentence not only made Yu Yan's scalp tingle, but also made her face burn.

Humans are made of flesh and blood; she knows who truly cares about her and who is using concern as a pretext to hurt her.

Some people, indeed, need never be seen again.

"Uncle."

Shao Yun had been listening the whole time, and stopped at the right moment, saying, "That's about enough."

The little guy frowned, protecting the child tightly.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan looked at Shao Yun simultaneously and smiled, the slightly tense atmosphere vanishing without a trace.

Yu Yan's heart, which had been cold all day, was comforted by two warm hands that night.

—

Xiang Jingheng stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged.

No one came to pick her up on the day she was discharged from the hospital. Neither Mrs. Xiang nor Gan Xiaoxing came. They were always there when things were going on, but when it was really needed, they were nowhere to be found.

"Mr. Xiang."

Upon seeing Mei Nan at the hospital entrance, Xiang Jingheng frowned slightly. "Is there something wrong in the research lab?"

"No," Mei Nan quickly shook her head. "Everything in the lab is normal, don't worry."

Xiang Jingheng nodded slightly.

Entrusting it to Mei Nan is much more reassuring than entrusting it to Gan Xiaoxing; Mei Nan is the one who gets things done.

Mei Nan came to pick up Xiang Jingheng from the hospital. However, Xiang Jingheng rode in the same car with her back to the company, and she still spoke in a businesslike tone: "If there's anything you need, just say it."

...She's really fine.

But even if there's nothing to say, you have to find something to talk about.

“I heard that Xiao Chu was going to transfer from the international primary school to the affiliated primary school, but it didn’t go smoothly.”

Mei Nan tentatively asked, "Is there some process stuck?"

Xiang Jingheng looked up at Mei Nan with a puzzled look in his eyes. Mei Nan quickly said, "Oh, I heard it from... my mother."

Aunt Mei used to work as a maid at the Xiang Mansion and took care of Xiang Chu for a long time, almost like a wet nurse. Although she has retired now, she still keeps in touch with the servants at the Xiang Mansion, so it's not surprising that she still cares about Xiang Chu.

"Hmm." Xiang Jingheng stared at the tablet and said calmly, "The affiliated primary school only accepts children of teachers from Shangzhou University. Someone in the family must work at Shangzhou University, or the high school or affiliated middle school to be eligible for enrollment or temporary enrollment."

Mei Nan naturally knew all this and blurted out a sentence.

"Is it stuck with Yu Yan? Is she unwilling to help?"
