Su Jing: "......"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Jing Ting is definitely not that kind of person!"
Huo Shiqian loosened his tie. "I also think he's not like that, but such unusual behavior can only be explained by this reason."
"Maybe he just wants to put your grandfather's mind at ease, and it's also a way of fulfilling his filial duty on behalf of Wanwan." Su Jing sighed. "Ever since Wanwan fell into a coma, your grandfather hasn't said anything, but he's been the most anxious. I can feel it. Just let Jingting handle things at home. Don't worry about it. If you don't like seeing Yimo, just avoid her. Anyway, she won't stay long. Once your grandfather's injuries are a bit better, I'll talk to Jingting about sending her away."
Huo Shiqian smiled faintly, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away."
......
The people of Wutong Bay were all indifferent to Su Yimo, especially Zhan Yin, who made no attempt to hide his disgust when he saw her.
Although Su Yimo felt wronged, she still shamelessly stayed and took good care of Grandpa Huo every day.
Perhaps because he had raised her himself, Old Master Huo gradually became reluctant to let her go, and since it was Zhan Jingting who had instructed him, he did not refuse her care.
Over the past few days, Grandpa Huo has grown much closer to her.
"Grandpa, have some soup." Su Yimo obediently fed Grandpa Huo soup. "This is a medicinal soup personally prepared for you by the legendary doctor, and it will be very beneficial to your recovery."
Grandpa Huo looked at her and said, "You've worked hard. Actually, I could have done it myself."
"Grandpa, please give me a chance to be filial," Su Yimo said, her voice choked with emotion. "Although I don't remember anything, I know you must have loved me very much. Actually, when I saved you that day, I didn't even know it was you. My body just rushed out to save you uncontrollably; I think it was my instinct..."
Grandpa Huo was quite moved. "Yimo, you've changed a lot. Perhaps forgetting everything will be good for you."
"Yes, Grandpa said it's good, so I'll forget about it completely and never think about it again." Su Yimo smiled brightly. "Grandpa, have some soup."
"Okay." Old Master Huo took a sip of the soup she fed him and then asked, "Why are you living alone? Don't you live at the Qiao family's?"
“I’m not very familiar with the Qiao family, so it would be awkward to live together,” Su Yimo said. “Besides, I don’t want to rely on others for support. Girls should be self-reliant, so I rented a place outside and work to support myself.”
"No wonder you live in such a simple house."
Old Yang went to see it; it was an old neighborhood where Su Yimo rented a one-bedroom apartment, which was quite cramped.
“But you’re right, girls should be self-reliant. You can’t rely on others.” Grandpa Huo said proudly, “Don’t look at Wanwan having given birth to three children. She’s very capable. She won’t starve wherever she goes and can even live a good life. That’s the kind of confidence a girl should have.”
“Yes, I also envy Sister Wanwan. She has achieved success in both family and career. I want to learn from her. Although I can't compare to her, I will try my best to live a wonderful life like her.” Su Yimo said sadly, “But Grandpa, it’s really heartbreaking to see Sister Wanwan like this now.”
Su Yimo lives in Wutong Bay. Although she has never been to the master bedroom, it is impossible to keep Qiao Wanwan's situation a secret from her.
Grandpa Huo sighed, "Yes, my heart aches like it's being pricked by needles every day... But a couple of days ago, Wanwan's grandmother appeared in my dream and said that Wanwan will definitely wake up, and told me to relax."
"That's wonderful, Grandpa. Please take good care of yourself and don't be too sad. I believe that Sister Wanwan will wake up."
"......"
Although Su Yimo was not well received, she was brought here by Zhan Jingting after all, and could move around freely in Wutong Bay.
In the afternoon, she knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
When Aunt Zheng opened the door, she saw Su Yimo. Although she was not pleased, she still asked politely, "Miss Su, what is it?"
“My grandfather is worried about Sister Wanwan, so I came to see how she is doing.”
"Your grandfather?" Zheng Ma's usually kind face betrayed her displeasure. "Isn't Old Master Huo just our lady's grandfather?"
Su Yimo felt a little wronged. "Although I am not Huo's biological child, I was still raised by the Huo family. I treat them as my own family. It's not too much for me to call them Grandpa, is it?"
“You can call me whatever you want behind my back, I don’t care and I don’t want to care, but you can’t come here and upset my wife by calling her that in front of her.”
Su Yimo blurted out, "She's unconscious right now and can't hear what I'm saying at all, so what does it matter?"
"Smack!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Yimo received a heavy slap!
"You dare hit me?" Su Yimo covered her face and glared at Zheng Ma. "You're just a servant, how dare you hit me?"
"I may be a servant, but if you dare speak to our mistress like that, I can hit you!" Zheng Ma trembled with anger. "Our mistress is unconscious, but that doesn't give you the right to be so insolent!"
"You..." Su Yimo was about to speak when she suddenly saw the door to the study next door open and Zhan Jingting walk out out of the corner of her eye.
Su Yimo's tears immediately streamed down her face as she sobbed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to come and see Sister Wanwan on Grandpa's behalf..."
“You still dare to say that…Master Zhan.” Zheng Ma nodded immediately upon seeing Zhan Jingting.
Su Yimo also pretended to have just seen Zhan Jingting, turned around and greeted him, "Master Zhan".
"What's all this noise about?" Zhan Jingting asked coldly.
Zheng Ma spoke up, "Miss Su thought that just because Madam can't hear, she can speak recklessly and offend Madam. I taught her a lesson on Madam's behalf."
Zhan Jingting frowned slightly as he looked at Su Yimo's slightly swollen left cheek. "Miss Su is a guest. How could you hit her?"
Su Yimo was stunned, never expecting Zhan Jingting to speak up for her!
Zheng Ma was also taken aback for a moment, but still said, "No matter how distinguished the guest is, they cannot be disrespectful to our lady."
"Alright," Zhan Jingting said. "Respecting guests is also a rule of Wutong Bay. Apologize to Miss Su."
Zheng Ma said seriously, "Master Zhan, I acted for the sake of my wife. I don't think I did anything wrong."
"Looks like my words have no effect." Zhan Jingting frowned, a chill creeping across his handsome face. "If you don't apologize, go and accept your punishment. It's your choice."
Zheng Ma looked fearless. "Yes, I'll go and accept the punishment right away."
As Su Yimo watched Zheng Ma leave, a fleeting glint of contempt flashed in her eyes. She quickly spoke in a pitiful tone, "Master Zhan, it's not her fault, please don't blame her!"
"My discipline of the servants is none of your business." Zhan Jingting's coldness faded considerably. "From now on, you don't need to be so reserved in this house. Go wherever you want."
Su Yimo was secretly delighted. "Thank you, Master Zhan."
"Didn't you want to see Wanwan? Let's go in."
