Is Chapter 293 Fair to Her?
Hearing what Grandpa Shao said, Zhao Feng said with some confusion, "Commander, if that's the case, shouldn't we tell the division commander and your wife about the situation? Let them quickly reunite Miss Yirou so that we can make amends to her!"
Grandpa Shao sighed and said helplessly, "Make amends? How can we make amends? When Yi Rou was at her weakest, we failed to protect her and let her identity be stolen. When Yi Rou was most helpless and needed us the most, we were not by her side. Instead, we did our best to give all our love to Shao Ziyu, the thief who stole her identity."
"Now that she's finally made it through, she's escaped those vampire-like adoptive parents, jumped out of that quagmire, and can freely enjoy her happy life now. But now we're telling her to come back to us and make it up to her. Is that fair to her?"
Old Master Shao felt particularly remorseful. Why hadn't he been a little selfish and used his privileges to make his son cancel his assignment and stay by his daughter-in-law's side when she was about to give birth?
Perhaps in this way, he could avoid the calamity of his own granddaughter being switched by Li Guixiang and her group.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Everything has already happened.
In fact, by the time they finally realized the problem, more than twenty years had passed!
More than twenty years...
The most vulnerable and care-needing infancy, the childhood that needs the most parental love, and the adolescence that needs the most parental support have all passed.
Now, she is married and has started her own family.
She has a loving husband and will soon have her own child.
It's truly ridiculous that these family members are now jumping out to make amends.
Hearing what Grandpa Shao said, Zhao Feng also fell silent and stopped talking.
Indeed, hearing what their leader said, it was very unfair to Miss Yi Rou.
But……
But we can't blame the Shao family for all of this!
After all, who could have imagined that someone would be so bold as to secretly switch the daughters of the Shao family, and that there would be a baby girl of about the same age?
Miss Yirou, you are so pitiful.
She should have been the most favored jewel of the Shao family, living a life like a princess.
But she became a pitiful little thing who was abused by the Xu family.
You should know that even a disciplined soldier like him had the urge to beat the Xu family to death when he investigated Xu Yirou's childhood.
Just as the two were talking, Zhao Feng, who was standing at the door, spotted Xu Yirou walking over from the other end of the corridor, carrying a lunchbox.
He straightened his expression and said, "Commander, Miss Yirou has arrived."
Xu Yirou walked to the front of Old Master Shao's ward and was taken aback when she saw a stranger standing at the door.
Before she could even ponder the other person's identity, Zhao Feng snapped to attention and gave her a military salute, his expression carrying a strange air of respect as he said, "Miss Yi Rou."
Xu Yirou was taken aback by Zhao Feng's display of power and said somewhat embarrassedly, "You... hello."
Seeing her somewhat embarrassed expression, Grandpa Shao smiled and introduced her, "Yi Rou, this is my bodyguard, Zhao Feng."
"Brother Zhao." Upon hearing this, Xu Yirou smiled and nodded at Zhao Feng.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Feng felt even more pity for this poor girl.
You know, after serving as Mr. Shao's bodyguard for so many years, this fake heiress, Shao Ziyu, always held her chin high whenever she saw him, as if she wanted to look down on him with her nostrils.
He was always spoken to in a condescending manner. It was considered polite to call him Zhao Feng. He always used a simple "Hey" to order him around.
How could anyone address him as "Brother Zhao" so politely and respectfully, like Xu Yirou did?
As for whether Xu Yirou wanted to curry favor with the Shao family, and that's why she deliberately pretended to be polite and approachable towards him, Zhao Feng wouldn't have such thoughts unless he had something wrong with his head.
After all, Xu Yirou is Wu Yong'an's wife.
With Wu Yong'an's status, although he has only recently been recalled to the special forces, he is already a regimental commander.
Given time, with Wu Yong'an's abilities, he will be able to become at least a division commander, and that will not be the end of his career.
Why should Xu Yirou bother to win over and please a mere bodyguard like him?
With a sigh of admiration, Zhao Feng wisely withdrew from the ward, leaving the grandfather and grandson alone.
Xu Yirou stepped forward and, as always, placed the lunchbox on the bedside table. She said, "Grandpa, you're in for a treat today. I went to school today and got out late, so this chicken soup wasn't made by me, but by the Gu family's housekeeper. Let me tell you, the chicken soup made by Aunt Liu from the Gu family is absolutely amazing. You should drink more of it."
Hearing Xu Yirou say this, Grandpa Shao smiled in agreement and said, "Hearing you say that reminds me of the first chicken soup you brought. It was indeed very delicious."
"Right!"
As Xu Yirou poured out the chicken soup, she said, "I love going to the Gu family's house for meals the most. Whether it's Aunt Liu, or Aunt Gu and her sister-in-law, every one of them is a first-class cook. Now, I'm so glad that Brother Wu bought a yard next to their house. It will be so convenient to go to their house for meals in the future."
As Grandpa Shao listened to Xu Yirou's clear and melodious voice as she spoke calmly and slowly about the events that had happened around her, Grandpa Shao listened to her.
I felt that every minute I spent with Xu Yirou was incredibly precious.
"Hearing you say that, I'm definitely going to the Gu family's for a free meal when I'm discharged from the hospital."
As he spoke, Grandpa Shao picked up the chicken soup from the bedside table and took a sip. The familiar, fresh, and sweet aroma filled the air, giving his taste buds an ultimate enjoyment and instantly making his pores feel open and comfortable.
Therefore, what Old Master Shao said about going to the Gu family for a free meal was not a lie.
Actually, given his current physical condition, he could have been discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago.
He knew very well that once he was discharged from the hospital, he probably wouldn't have such a good excuse to meet Xu Yirou anymore.
Therefore, he refused to be discharged and stayed in the hospital.
The only thing he looked forward to each day was that Xu Yirou would come to see him.
This allowed him to secretly enjoy this rare bond between grandfather and grandson.
Although he didn't know whether Xu Yirou would come today, or when she would come.
But every day, I looked forward with great anticipation. If I didn't see it one day, I would look forward to the next, and the third...
Upon hearing what Grandpa Shao said, Xu Yirou's expression tightened slightly. Then, she tentatively asked, "Grandpa, how are you feeling? Has the doctor said when you can be discharged?"
