Although their voices were low, the burning passion and planning in their eyes were cast at Liu Rumeng without any concealment.
It was as if she was a piece of precious jade, and how to carve and polish her so that she could be sold at the highest price was the most important thing in their minds at the moment.
Liu Rumeng had a decent smile on her face, and her fingertips gently brushed over the front page of the "Asia Daily" spread on her knees, which exuded the fragrance of ink. Her eyes vaguely swept over the signature of the pseudonym "Huang Yi" under the title of the supplement serial "A Step into the Past".
This is not print, but handwriting.
She knew that this was written by Lin Huowang himself. Only he could write the magnificent imagination and exquisite deconstruction of history between the lines.
The secret pride and sense of security in her heart were her greatest confidence when facing the earnest "teachings" of her two aunts at this moment.
However, their plan ran counter to the pace set by her husband Lin Huowang.
She nodded slightly, her voice soft, as if a little shy: "Thank you, Aunt Eldest and Aunt Second, for teaching me. I'll take note."
Yan Meijuan and Li Meifeng looked at each other and both felt that this niece from the mainland was well-behaved and well-mannered, and their smiles couldn't help but become even brighter.
In this warm and slightly calculated atmosphere in the living room, Ah Zhong, the loyal servant of the Guo family, walked silently to Liu Rumeng's side, bowed slightly and whispered: "Miss Cousin, the old master wants you to go to the study."
Mr. Guo's call was like the head teacher suddenly walking into the noisy classroom, and the whispered discussions about wealthy marriages in the living room came to an abrupt end.
The smiles on the two aunts' faces faded a little, and there was a bit more scrutiny and expectation in their eyes when they looked at Liu Rumeng.
Liu Rumeng also guessed what her grandfather was going to say. Her heart sank slightly, but her face remained expressionless. She gently folded the newspaper in her hand and placed it on the rosewood coffee table beside her. She stood up meekly and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhong, I'll go right away."
Pushing open the heavy mahogany door of the study, a scent of books mixed with the unique smell of wood lacquer from old furniture hits you in the face.
Mr. Guo Letian sat behind a large Huanghuali desk, twisting his string of lustrous and warm agarwood beads in his hand.
He was not looking at the account books or documents as usual, but was looking out the window at the dark night in the direction of Deep Water Bay. He slowly turned around when he heard the door open.
Under the light, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be deeper.
"Grandpa." Liu Rumeng called softly and walked to the desk and stood still.
"Mengmeng, sit down."
Mr. Guo pointed to the chair across the table. His voice was neither happy nor angry, but carried the authority of an elder.
Liu Rumeng sat down as she was told, folding her hands on her knees with a dignified demeanor.
The study was silent for a moment, with only the slight friction sound of the rosary in the old man's hands.
His sharp gaze lingered on Liu Rumeng's face for a long time before he spoke solemnly, "You also read today's Asia Daily.
The momentum is too strong, and some things may be led astray.
Being able to marry into the Huo family... is naturally good, but there are some hurdles that must be overcome."
He didn't point it out, but Liu Rumeng knew what he meant.
Mr. Guo looked straight into his granddaughter's eyes and spoke slowly and solemnly: "Mengmeng, that disease...is related to your life.
Before in the Northeast, there was a shortage of medical care and medicine in the mountainous areas, and there was nothing we could do.
Now that I'm back in Hong Kong Island, back home, didn't Dr. Sophie from Queen Mary Hospital say that I can recover well?
Don’t waste a moment then!”
The old man's tone was filled with unquestionable urgency: "When getting married, especially marrying into a family as prominent as the Huo family, continuing the family line is the most important thing!
Our Guo family's foundation is neither shallow nor deep... but it cannot withstand the wrath of the Huo family.
If you really have a status in the future and enter the Huo family, people will find that you can't..."
Mr. Guo paused, as if he was reluctant to say those words, and replaced them with a heavy look, "Then it won't be just your problem!
Our entire Guo family cannot afford the consequences!
Are you afraid to go now because the limelight is too strong? No! We can’t put it off!
It must be treated as soon as possible, this is the fundamental!"
The sound of knocking on the table was crisp and warning.
Liu Rumeng lowered her eyes.
Every word from her grandfather was like a needle, piercing the softest and most sensitive part of her heart.
The diagnosis from Mary Hospital hung there like a curse. After all, this was not an ordinary disease, but a hidden danger that could destroy a woman's entire future in a wealthy family.
Mr. Guo’s concerns are extremely realistic and cruel.
Yes, the scenery of Hong Kong’s wealthy families is like the bright lights of Repulse Bay at night. How many surging cold currents are hidden underneath?
Her husband Lin Huowang has a great plan for the overall situation, but she still has to overcome her own hurdle.
In the past few days, she was caught up in the vortex of the battle between Xiaolin Tianwang and Huo Zhenting. Amid the envious and flattering gazes of the Guo family, she almost put this important matter concerning her future on hold.
Being mentioned again by her grandfather at this time also made her completely sober up from the recent hustle and bustle.
This is not only her responsibility to her husband Lin Huowang, but also her own urgent wish to give birth to the fruit of her love.
"Well, Grandpa, you are right."
Liu Rumeng raised her head, her eyes clear and firm, "I was negligent before.
I've made a note. Tomorrow... no, today, I will definitely contact Dr. Sophie."
She paused and added, "Go there in the evening after get off work when there are fewer people around, and try not to attract attention."
Seeing her serious expression and her ready agreement, Mr. Guo's face relaxed a little and he nodded: "It's good that you know what's going on.
