Chapter 40: After spending so many days together, he still hasn't seen through her



"You old man Lei, there are still things you can't understand. Who did you learn from? You learned it in vain?" The old lady was so angry that if she had a beard, it would have been blown up by her anger.

Su Ruowan put the silver needle into the alcohol bottle for disinfection and tidied up the medicine box. Then she came out of the inner room and saw the two old men almost quarreling.

She was just about to persuade him when Huo Shengnian came back after taking a walk to digest his food.

"Is it over?" Huo Shengnian asked proactively.

"Well, it's done. I'll come over again tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's go."

"Um."

The two of them asked and answered each other, leaving Old Man Lei at the side confused. He turned his head to look at Old Lady Liu, "No, Old Liu, your grandson... is he pursuing Wanwan?"

Old Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows slightly. This old man Lei is quite smart.

The old lady didn't want to spread the news yet, so she shook her head and denied it. "Don't talk nonsense. Wanwan is very good at acupuncture. My grandson is also a poor man. I just want Wanwan to try acupuncture in my grandson's eyes to see if it can heal faster."

Old Man Lei suddenly understood, "Oh, that's how it is."

“…”

Neither Huo Shengnian nor Su Ruowan explained. After saying hello to the two elders, they left.

As soon as the two left, the old lady drove Old Man Lei back as well.

She hid in the room alone and called Nurse Xiao Wang. Knowing that she was already accompanying Old Xie, she felt relieved and reported to Old Xie that they were all safe.

Ever since she met Old Xie, the old lady has been feeling inexplicably uneasy.

At first, she wanted to give the two children three months, but Huo Shengnian said that the results would be clear after three months.

She also wanted to respect him, but now it seemed that if she let this boy go and let the two of them take their own course, she might end up with the same fate as Old Xie.

She was not willing to treat Su Ruowan as just her own granddaughter. Before this, Wanwan was occupied by Xie Qinghui, and she didn't find the opportunity, but now, Wanwan is her legitimate granddaughter-in-law.

There was no way she would listen to Huo Shengnian's nonsense, saying that the outcome would be known in three months.

But she also knew that she couldn't confront Huo Shengnian head-on about this matter.

So the old lady made another call, and soon, a pleasant female voice came from the other end, "Grandma, you finally took the initiative to call me. I thought you only cared about your grandson in your prime, and not me, your granddaughter."

"Shengmei, grandma has something important to tell you and to discuss with you."

"Well, you say."

"That's it..."

On the way back, Su Ruowan called Xie Qingling. Xie Qingling, who answered the call, was eating instant noodles in a cheap guesthouse.

Su Ruowan also heard a slurping sound like slurping noodles.

"Xiao Ling, why are you having dinner just now?"

"No, I had dinner early. I just wanted some instant noodles, so I grabbed a bucket. Sister Ruowan, have you returned to Fengcheng?"

"Well, are you free to talk now?" Su Ruowan asked in a low voice.

"It's convenient, Sister Ruowan." Xie Qingling looked at the dilapidated room. She was currently in debt, and even if she had some money in her pocket, she didn't dare to stay in a luxurious hotel. She would just stay in a cheap room like this for now.

As long as she leaves her original family, she will have no regrets even if she has to live under a bridge.

"Then listen to me. Sleep well tonight and don't think about anything. Grandma Xie is safe, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you where she is right now. As for whether she wants to see you, it depends on her opinion."

"Yeah, I understand. I knew that grandma had nowhere to go and would definitely come to find you. Thank you, Sister Ruowan." Xie Qingling's tears flowed down her face. She was really worried about her grandma these past two days.

All kinds of bad thoughts ran through her mind. She even thought that if her grandmother could not be found, would one day she suddenly receive a call from the police asking them to identify the body or something?

She has been watching videos recently, all of which are about the latest current affairs news on the social channel of their Fengcheng city network.

"Tomorrow morning, I will be giving acupuncture to an old man at Fushouju. If you have time, please come to Fushouju and find me. We can meet and talk."

"Okay, Sister Ruowan, I will definitely be there tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you then."

"Sister Ruowan, thank you, good night, go to bed early."

"Yeah, you too."

After hanging up the phone, seeing Huo Shengnian's slightly unwell expression beside him, Su Ruowan explained, "She is Xie Qinghui's sister, but she is a good person, just like Grandma Xie."

"Well, there's no need to explain to me. They are all people who have nothing to do with me." Huo Shengnian said calmly.

“…”

Su Ruowan turned her head and looked out the window. Neon lights were flashing outside. The night view of their Fengcheng streets was actually quite beautiful.

The hustle and bustle of traffic on the streets and the ordinary people coming and going on the sidewalks form a picture of human life.

Lively, prosperous, exciting...

Su Ruowan turned her head to look at the busy traffic and the fireworks outside the window, and Huo Shengnian tilted his head to look at her...

This little woman is quite interesting. After being together for so many days, he still hasn't seen through her.

The next day, Su Ruowan went to Fushouju again and finished giving acupuncture to Grandpa Lei before nine o'clock. As for the result of Grandpa Lei's fortune-telling for her last night, Su Ruowan didn't care and didn't even ask a question.

Grandpa Lei wanted to tell her the contents of the divination when Xie Qingling arrived.

"You two young people, go and chat." Grandpa Lei recognized Xie Qingling and left on his own initiative. Seeing this, Grandma Liu also followed Old Man Lei and left Furong Courtyard so that the two children could have a good chat.

Xie Qingling checked out when she came out of the guesthouse. She currently stored her suitcase at the high-speed railway station and was planning to leave Fengcheng today.

As long as grandma is safe and all right, Xie Qingling feels at ease.

Here, she had nothing to worry about.

She had a falling out with her family and didn't want to stay to attend her eldest brother's wedding. She didn't like the sister-in-law, so even if she attended, she couldn't give them her sincere blessings.

"What's wrong with your face?" Su Ruowan immediately noticed that Xie Qingling's originally fair face was abnormally red.

Xie Qingling buried her head, "Nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

"Xiao Ling, the red mark on your face looks like a slap. Who hit you?" Su Ruowan was not so easily fooled.

"It was my dad. I disagreed with them, so he slapped me."

"It's actually better this way. If it weren't for that slap, I would still have a little affection for them. After all, they gave birth to me and gave me life. Now, even that little bit of affection is gone, and I can leave with peace of mind."
