Chapter 93 Aunt Liu Visits
"When I saw the photo, I was shocked to see that it was our Xiaomo. Why didn't you tell me?"
Grandpa yelled angrily, almost going crazy on the other end.
Huo Qichen had a headache. He hadn't expected this incident to be in the newspaper. He patiently persuaded, "Grandpa, it's nothing serious. It's just a broken arm. He has been discharged from the hospital. Don't worry, take care of yourself."
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's your wife. You're making light of something as serious as a car accident. A broken bone is nothing serious. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, don't you know?" Grandpa became even angrier, almost choking. "Give Xiaomo the phone, I'll talk to her!"
Huo Qi Chen gave the woman beside him a look. Since she couldn't hold the phone, he put the phone to her ear and didn't move.
"Xiaomo, are you okay? Tell me the truth." Grandpa's tone changed 180 degrees and became very gentle.
Jian Mo replied with a stiff upper lip: "Grandpa, I'm really fine. Don't believe what the newspapers say."
"It's really just a broken bone."
"Really, I've been discharged from the hospital and am ready to go home and rest."
"That's good, that's good." Grandpa suddenly shouted again, "Huo Qichen."
Huo Qichen responded lazily, "I'm here."
"A fracture is no small matter. I asked your Aunt Liu to go to Mingyuan to take care of Xiaomo. She should be there by now. Be careful."
As soon as these words came out, Jian Mo choked on her own saliva and tried hard to hold back a cough.
He frowned and said, "Why did you go to so much trouble to ask Aunt Liu to come here? Mingyuan is not without servants."
Grandpa sneered: "That's nothing. Your Aunt Liu has taken care of me for many years and is very considerate. I feel at ease when I let her take care of Xiaomo."
"What are you going to do?"
"There are quite a few servants in the old house. I can handle it myself. The key now is Xiaomo's health. She is the most important." Grandpa was very arbitrary and hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.
Huo Qichen pressed his temple and said sarcastically, "Grandpa is so good to you."
Jian Mo was completely flattered and panicked. "What should we do? If Aunt Liu lives in Mingyuan, then we can't hide it anymore."
Aunt Liu is different from Mingyuan's servants. She has always believed that the two of them have a real marriage and real love.
Seeing her panic, Huo Qichen calmed down a lot, "We can only act like a real couple."
"Act? How do I act?" Jian Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The car had already parked steadily in front of Mingyuan's gate. A row of servants stood outside, led by Aunt Liu, all smiling.
"Go down and delay time. I'll have others move the things from your room to the master bedroom."
"Master...master bedroom?" Jian Mo was forcibly helped out of the car by him. Before she had the chance to ask in detail, he had already walked up to her.
"Aunt Liu, you're here." Huo Qichen treated her with respect.
Aunt Liu only had eyes for Jian Mo, and was terrified. "Oh, it's so serious, Xiaomo, come in quickly, come in and sit down."
The latter swallowed and forced a smile, "Aunt Liu, I'm really sorry to bother you. Uh... this is the doctor's instructions for me. Please take a look."
The two entered the villa, and Huo Qichen indifferently instructed the rest of the people, "Send the things from the madam's room to my room. Hurry."
"yes."
Here, Jian Mo brought Aunt Liu into the kitchen and saw the servants busying around upstairs. "Aunt Liu, I like to eat medicinal food. Please make it for me."
"This medicinal meal has a lot of ingredients. I have to go buy some. Wait for me, Xiaomo." After saying that, Aunt Liu was about to leave in a hurry.
Jian Mo stopped Aunt Liu and said, "Well, there's no rush. I want some hot water. Can you boil a pot for me?"
Aunt Liu seemed to understand, "Okay, wait."
While waiting for the water to heat up, the two of them stayed in the kitchen, staring at each other. Aunt Liu saw that she was sweating profusely and quickly said, "The kitchen is so hot, get out now."
"...It's okay, it's okay. I haven't seen you for a long time and I want to talk to you." Jian Mo waved her hand quickly. "Grandpa, how is your health recently?"
"It's fine, don't worry."
"That's good... That's good..."
The water was hot, and Aunt Liu quickly poured out a cup. "Drink it slowly. I still have to go out to buy ingredients. Wait, Aunt Liu will make sure you have it tonight."
Jian Mo was really at her wit's end. While she was taking off her apron, she frantically gestured for help to Huo Qichen in the living room.
The latter walked over slowly and blocked the kitchen door. "It's scorching outside. We can still go tomorrow. Please don't be partial. I haven't had your ginger milk for a long time. Can I have it today?"
After hearing the whole term, Aunt Liu was stunned for a while. She carefully looked at Huo Qichen's face and stammered, "Yes... Yes, I will do it now."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Jian Mo quickly replied, "Then I'll learn from you."
While Aunt Liu was busy in the kitchen, the upstairs move was almost complete. Jian Mo was no longer anxious and quietly slipped out to sit next to Huo Qichen. She whispered, "Why is Aunt Liu so excited to see you want to eat ginger milk?"
Huo Qichen was processing emails on his computer and didn't look up. "I haven't eaten it in many years."
"Why?" she asked subconsciously.
Huo Qichen didn't answer, and then she realized there seemed to be some story behind this. She shut up awkwardly, and just when she thought he wouldn't say anything, a man's voice came over, "After my mother left, I stopped eating."
Jian Mo froze. She had guessed that Huo Qichen's mother was gone, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She carefully looked at his tense profile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry."
Huo Qichen paused tapping on the keyboard, sneered, and curled his lips, "It's okay."
From then on, Aunt Liu had to take care of all the affairs in Mingyuan herself, especially Jian Mo's medication and other matters. She was sent by Grandpa, and no one dared to stop her.
In the master bedroom, the servants had everything tidied up neatly. If you didn't know, you would have thought the two of them were really living together.
Aunt Liu filled the bathroom with water and said, "Xiaomo, go in and take a shower."
Jian Mo nodded, and Ju Ma followed suit, but was stopped by Aunt Liu, "What are you doing in there, Ju Ma?"
"Help me take a bath."
"I'll help Madam take a bath."
The two said in unison.
"Why are you helping her take a bath?" Aunt Liu said with disgust, "Just let Achen handle such private matters."
Huo Qichen raised his eyebrows at the side, and Jian Mo's face was full of fearlessness. "This... this... is still a bit inconvenient."
Aunt Liu joked, "Don't be shy, young couple, this is all normal."
As she said that, she waved her hand to drive everyone else out, "Get out, what husband wouldn't help his wife take a bath when she's in trouble?"
"Oh! Mommy Ju! Don't go!" Jian Mo shouted in despair.
Aunt Liu considerately closed the door, leaving the two of them looking at each other in awkward silence.
Jian Mo's face flushed red, and she sat down, "I won't wash it anymore."
She had never hated the perpetrator so much. If he hadn't hit her, she wouldn't have fallen to the point of needing Huo Qichen's help to take a bath. Where was her innocence!
Huo Qichen crossed his arms in front of him and looked the shy people up and down. "Why are you so nervous?"
