At my father's house, Aunt Zhang had just prepared a delicious dinner.
Knowing that grandma came with us, Aunt Zhang specially cooked some medicinal food to help grandma recover.
It was a very enjoyable meal.
But I always feel that my grandma seems to be worried about something.
He also kept helping me pick up food.
As if he wanted to use all his strength to attack me.
Later, grandma urged Zhou Fang to take a bath. Zhou Fang could see that the old lady had something to say to him, so he cooperated very well.
"Nanzhi, come in with grandma."
Aunt Zhang was still cleaning the restaurant, so grandma called me into her room.
I guessed that there was something important she wanted to tell me, and I felt very uneasy. "Grandma, you..."
"Put this away."
As soon as I opened my mouth, my grandma took out a brown paper bag from her bag and handed it to me.
I panicked, "Grandma, I can't accept this!"
Grandma smiled in relief and asked, "Guess what it is?"
"Um……"
I pursed my lips. "Su Wanyu and the others asked me if I knew the contents of your...will."
"Want to know?"
"I just want you to be happy."
This is the truth.
Probably because I don’t have a father-daughter relationship with Shen Wenzhong, I don’t feel a sense of belonging to the Shen family.
I want to go back to the Shen family only for my grandma. It would be great if I could bring my grandma to my side and take care of her like we do now.
As for the Shen family's assets and money, my career is now thriving, so there is no need to be greedy.
My mother...probably doesn't bother to earn anything from the Shen family.
Hearing my answer without hesitation, my grandmother was both relieved and sighed, "You take after your mother. It's our Shen family that was unlucky enough to marry her into our family."
"Your dad is too confused to be a bastard."
I lowered my eyelashes. "He is confused now."
Grandma didn't speak for him. She nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. So, these are all my compensation to you and your mother."
She stuffed the brown paper bag into my hand, her eyes, which were full of traces of time, moistened. "Be good, don't let outsiders take advantage of you."
"The Shen family's fortune was built by our ancestors, and your grandfather has worked so hard to protect it. If it falls into the hands of outsiders, how will your grandmother explain it to them in her grave?"
"grandmother……"
A sore nose rushed to my head. I endured the warmth in my eyes and squeezed the brown paper bag tightly. "I'll take it... I'll take it..."
Grandma patted my hands and said, "This isn't what they think it's a will. It's a gift agreement. As long as you sign it, it will take effect."
"grandmother……"
"Don't refuse grandma."
Grandma saw through what I was about to say and sighed, "You know how bad my health has been these past two days. If your father continues to control the Shen family, it will be too late to recover before I die. If you take over as soon as possible, I can wait for the antidote with peace of mind, don't you agree?"
I was startled, "You..."
"How do I know I've been poisoned?"
Grandma smiled and pulled me to sit on the sofa at the end of the bed. "You said I was poisoned, not suffering from Alzheimer's. How could I not see that you and Fang were hiding something from me? The doctor said all my tests were clear, but you acted like you were facing a major threat, even going to the trouble of having Master Zhang come and give me acupuncture every few days. If it's not poisoning, what else could it be?"
I touched my nose and said, "So, you guessed it a long time ago?"
"yes."
"I shouldn't have kept it from you. Ah Fang told me that I should tell you, but I was afraid..."
"Grandma understands everything."
Before I could finish, grandma took over the conversation, "Grandma's little Qingli has grown up and wants to support grandma, right?"
I pursed my lips and said, "But I still can't do anything for you. I don't even know when I can get the antidote."
"What are you afraid of?"
Grandma was much more open-minded than me. She sighed, "I've missed your grandpa for a long time. If it weren't for the Shen family, I would have gone down to accompany him earlier."
"It's hard for you. You have to work hard to support the Shen family's mess. Grandma doesn't want you to get involved, but the truth is... there is no other way."
"I know, I know..."
Listening to my grandmother's tone as if she was giving me instructions for my funeral, tears rolled down my face. I hugged her and cried, "When I was little, I envied other children for having grandparents who loved them. Now I have a grandmother after all the hard work. I don't want you to leave me. I don't want you to leave me."
But suddenly, at this moment, I understood the burden Zhou Fang was carrying.
——The honor and disgrace, rise and fall of an entire family.
“Ouch…”
Grandma also cried, but she still smiled and comforted me, "Silly child, I'm still alive, right? Don't cry, or if Fang sees you later, he'll say you're a crybaby like when you were little."
I blinked hard, holding back my tears, "He wouldn't dare!"
"What am I afraid of?"
There were two gentle knocks on the half-closed door. The usually unscrupulous man stood in the doorway in his home clothes and explained to Grandma, "I didn't mean to disturb you and Ruan, but I heard her crying and couldn't help it."
"You've arrived just in time!"
Grandma quickly said: "You are my own daughter-in-law, you should take care of her yourself and find a way to coax her."
I was helpless, "..."
Zhou Fang smiled and came in without saying a word. He wiped away my tears and picked me up horizontally. "Then let's go to the room. You should get some rest early. Call us anytime if you need anything."
“…”
I quickly whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to sleep in the room with you?"
Please, don't be so open and confident about living together before marriage.
Grandma, however, had very good hearing. Before Zhou Fang could respond, she spoke first: "Don't worry, I'm not some stubborn old antique. Besides, I watched Fang grow up, so I'm relieved."
“…” My ears felt hot.
Zhou Fang smiled: "Thank you, grandma!"
“…”
I walked out of the room, holding the brown paper bag in my hand, and felt as if my heart was being pressed down by a huge rock.
Zhou Fang put me on the ground, hugged my waist, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Are you angry?"
"no……"
I shook the brown paper bag. "Guess...what is this?"
"Property agreement?"
"How do you know?"
"Grandma should know that she has been poisoned."
Zhou Fang ruffled my hair and said, "During dinner tonight, she kept picking food for you."
He didn't say the rest, but I understood.
It seemed as if he knew that he didn't have much time left, and he wanted to give me all the food from every meal in the future.
This is why I feel so uncomfortable.
Zhou Fang put his hand on my forehead and said, "Aruan, trust me, grandma will be fine, okay?"
I sniffed, "Hmm!"
He hugged me tighter, pressing against me tightly, "That's good."
I pushed him, "...You've taken a shower, but I haven't yet. Don't hold me so tight."
And he came from the hospital.
Not only did Zhou Fang not let go, he also placed a lingering kiss on my lips, and a low, hoarse voice overflowed, "Let's take a shower together?"
