Chapter 28 So my granddaughter-in-law's name is Li Mai!

When they were almost at the hospital, Mrs. Zhou woke up.

The first time I saw Limai.

His cloudy eyes lit up.

She's the pretty girl I saw on Chunfeng Road that day!

She could very well be her future granddaughter-in-law!

Grandma Zhou wanted to say something, but she was too weak and could not make a sound.

Li Mai smiled gently at her: "Grandma, we're almost at the hospital. I've already called Zhou Songyan, and he'll be there soon."

"Don't worry, it's alright."

Li Mai gently comforted Old Mrs. Zhou.

The ambulance was parked at the hospital entrance.

Grandma Zhou was pushed away.

In the blur, she saw a little boy standing next to the pretty girl.

She wasn't wearing her reading glasses, so she couldn't see clearly.

But the little boy looked familiar.

...

When Zhou Songyan arrived, Li Mai and Chengcheng were waiting outside the emergency room.

Li Mai noticed that his forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had run over.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. The doctor said Grandma is not in any danger."

Zhou Songyan let out a breath, turned to look at Li Mai, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Li Mai shook her head: "President Zhou, you don't need to be so polite."

"Chengcheng and I went back."

Now that Zhou Songyan has arrived, they shouldn't stay here any longer.

Zhou Songyan's throat bobbed, wanting to say something, but then he felt that the timing was wrong.

He ruffled Chengcheng's hair twice and said, "Be careful on your way back."

"Um."

Li Mai responded.

Goodbye, Uncle.

Chengcheng looked at Zhou Songyan reluctantly before leaving with Li Mai.

I brushed past a few people as I left the hospital.

Zhou Jingtian suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chengcheng's back.

Zhou Qianlian turned her head: "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Zhou Jingtian: "I just saw a little kid, who looks like Songyan when he was a child."

Zhou Qianlian laughed: "Big brother, are you so desperate to have a grandson? You're talking about your mother, aren't you the same?"

Zhou Jingtian also felt that he was a bit neurotic.

His son doesn't even have a girlfriend, so how could he have a grandson?

"Let's go see how Mom is doing."

Zhou Jingtian was the first to walk towards the elevator.

Following them were Zhou Qianlian and her husband, along with their two children.

...

Li Mai took Chengcheng back to the library by taxi.

Her car is still parked there.

8 PM.

Zhou Songyan sent her a message: "Grandma is alright, but she'll need to stay in the hospital for a while. Thank you for today."

Li Mai: [It's good that Grandma is alright, you're welcome.]

Premium ward at Mingxi Hospital.

Grandma Zhou has woken up.

The pretty young woman who was making a fuss about finding someone to rescue her.

Zhou Qianlian: "What little beauty?"

Grandma Zhou: "I fainted on the roadside, and a very pretty young girl saved me."

Grandma Zhou looked at Zhou Songyan: "Eldest grandson, hurry up and call my granddaughter-in-law, I want to see her."

The others were even more confused.

Zhou Qianlian: "Mom, what are you talking about? One minute you're calling her a 'little beauty,' the next you're calling her your granddaughter-in-law. Are you getting Alzheimer's?"

Grandma Zhou glared at her: "You're the one with dementia! You unfilial daughter who curses her own mother!"

Zhou Qianlian: "..."

Zhang Boxiong tugged at his wife's sleeve, signaling her to be quiet.

The old lady has just woken up; we mustn't upset her.

Zhou Qianlian fell silent.

Zhou Jingtian looked at Zhou Songyan: "What exactly happened?"

Zhou Songyan: "It was Li Mai who found her grandmother collapsed on the roadside and called for emergency help."

Who is Li Mai?

Grandma Zhou: "So my granddaughter-in-law's name is Li Mai!"

Zhou Songyan had a headache: "Grandma, she's not your granddaughter-in-law."

Grandma Zhou: "I'm not so old and my eyesight isn't failing me. I can tell whether you two are a couple."

"Besides, didn't you say that everything that was going to happen between you two has already happened? Since you touched that girl, you have to take responsibility for her and marry her."

“There are no scoundrels in our Zhou family; every man upholds masculine virtues. Don’t even think about seducing and abandoning us, or ruining our Zhou family’s reputation.”

Zhou Jingtian: "Is what your grandma said true? You and that girl from Limai... are together?"

Zhou Jingtian was an elder, so he didn't want to be too blunt and changed his words in time.

Zhou Songyan pressed his temples, still unsure of his relationship with Li Mai and how to explain it to his family.

"Dad, this matter is complicated, let's talk about it later."

Zhou Jingtian: "How is it complicated? If you really get involved with her, then marry her."

Zhou Qianlian: "Big brother, there are so many scheming women these days. Some even use tricks to get pregnant and force marriage. Songyan needs to be careful. We should investigate the marriage before making any decisions. Don't rush things."

Grandma Zhou was displeased and glared fiercely at Zhou Qianlian: "My granddaughter-in-law is beautiful and kind-hearted, she's not that kind of person! If Songyan marries her, it will be a blessing for our Zhou family."

Zhou Jingtian: "She saved my mom, she must be a good girl!"

Zhou Qianlian: "Mom, has that Li Mai met you before?"

Grandma Zhou: "I've met you."

Zhou Qianlian clapped her hands: "That settles it then. She saved you because she knew your identity, hoping to gain favor with Song Yan and marry into our Zhou family. If you were an ordinary old lady, she wouldn't even give you a second glance."

Grandma Zhou's face darkened: "Don't try to sow discord here. I may be old, but I'm not blind. I can still tell good from bad."

“My granddaughter-in-law is a very good person! If you keep talking nonsense, just leave. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Zhou Qianlian: "..."

She wanted to say something more, but Zhang Boxiong stopped her, saying, "Let Mom rest. Don't say anything more."

Grandma Zhou: "My granddaughter-in-law... my eldest grandson, why don't you call my granddaughter-in-law over here?"

Zhou Songyan helplessly advised, "Grandma, I've already said she's not your granddaughter-in-law, don't call her that."

Grandma Zhou: "You brat, if you dare to start something and then abandon it, I'll beat you!"

"Then you'd better take good care of yourself and get well before you can hit me."

"I can hit you right now!"

Grandma Zhou struggled to get up.

Zhou Jingtian pressed her down with a stern face: "You don't want to rest, huh? Then let's talk about shaking off the bodyguards and sneaking away."

Grandma Zhou closed her eyes and said, "I'm sleepy."

Zhou Jingtian was extremely helpless.

The older the old lady got, the more cheerful and outgoing she became.

He couldn't stay in the old house and often sneaked out.

Not trusting her, they assigned several bodyguards to follow her.

The old lady dismissed the bodyguard and then took a taxi and drove away.

And then, something bad happened.

Fortunately, they met kind people; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Songyan, no matter what your relationship is with that Miss Li, she saved your grandmother, so thank her properly."

Zhou Songyan nodded.

The old lady is hospitalized, and someone needs to stay at the hospital at night.

Zhou Qianlian: "You all go back, I'll stay and take care of Mom."

Zhou Jingtian: "Okay, you stay here today, I'll take over tomorrow, we'll take turns. Also, find a caregiver to come tomorrow."

...

The next day, Grandma Zhou started clamoring to find Li Mai again.

Zhou Songyan was so bothered by the old lady that he had no choice but to send a message to Li Mai.

My grandmother wants to see you, her savior. Could you please come to the hospital?

Li Mai did not want to have any contact with the Zhou family.

I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I have something to attend to and can't make it. Please explain this to Grandma.

Zhou Songyan: [I can't explain it. The old lady is throwing a tantrum, refusing to eat, and is threatening a hunger strike.]

Li Mai: [...]
