After holding Niannian and preparing the baby bottle for her, Shen Zhi Qiu suddenly felt a wave of panic.
She pulled Lu Jia aside and whispered, "I don't know why, but I feel uneasy. Do you think Lin Yueshan might go to my grandmother's or my mother's side?"
"Mr. Rong has sent a lot of people to protect Aunt Lin. These people are all his trusted confidants who have been with him for many years. Moreover, for safety reasons, they only report to Mr. Rong to ensure that no information is leaked."
Lu Jia pursed her lips and frowned slightly. "I had Zhong Yi take my grandmother back to her hometown. The scenery there is beautiful, the village is far from the city, the people are simple and honest, and life is very peaceful. I contacted Zhong Yi a few days ago, and everything is normal."
Moreover, it is said that since Grandma went there, she has become more cheerful. Grandma likes to take naps in the bamboo forest by the river, saying that the rustling sound of the bamboo being blown by the wind makes her feel very comfortable.
These past few days, the weather there has been warm, and Xiaoyu has been taking Yuanqiu fishing with her grandma by the river.
"That's good." Shen Zhi Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. "It's good that Grandma is alright. I'll go see Grandma when Niannian and Zhaozhao are a little older."
After all, she's so old, it's not convenient to bring her all this way, and I'm afraid she'll get tired.
Lu Jia had Aunt Zhao and the nanny carry Niannian and Zhaozhao, who had already finished breastfeeding, back upstairs to sleep. Then, she gently pressed Shen Zhi Qiu onto the sofa and went around to the back herself.
"Close your eyes," Lu Jia said softly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Let me massage your shoulders to help you relax," Lu Jia said, placing his hands on her shoulders and gently applying pressure. "I've noticed you've been tilting your head and massaging your shoulders a lot these past few days. Are you getting a little too tired?"
“Hmm.” Shen Zhi Qiu closed her eyes. “I do feel a bit tired. I saw that Dad and my brother were also quite tired, so I told them to go back to their rooms and take a nap. So many upsetting things have happened recently, I was afraid they would get too tired, especially my dad, sigh.”
As Shen Zhi Qiu spoke, she sighed.
Suddenly, Shen Zhi Qiu's phone rang.
Lu Jia picked up the phone from the table and was about to hand it to Shen Zhi Qiu when she saw the name flashing on the screen. She couldn't help but frown, but she still handed it to her.
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at it and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Zhi Qiu." Si Mingyu's weak voice came from the other end.
"Yeah, Mingyu-ge." Shen Zhi Qiu sighed.
"I'm very sorry about the live stream; I didn't invite them. I've seen the comments online, and I'm truly sorry," Si Mingyu said, coughing several times, his voice full of apology.
"Hmm, this has nothing to do with you." Shen Zhi Qiu frowned and comforted him, "Ming Yu, the most important thing for you now is to get better as soon as possible."
"The doctor said your surgery was successful, but the follow-up rehabilitation is very important, so you must take it seriously. If you'd like, you can do your rehabilitation training at this hospital. I'm also very sorry; if I hadn't forcibly locked you in the dressing room, perhaps this wouldn't have happened," Shen Zhi Qiu said with some remorse.
“It was my fault for drinking too much, not yours.” Si Mingyu stopped her from blaming herself further. “Even if I can never walk again, I won’t blame you. Don’t worry.”
"There's one more thing," Si Mingyu hesitated. "You heard from the nurse about being taken hostage, and that President Rong was stabbed while trying to save you. Zhi Qiu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Mingyu. Don't worry about me, I'm all right." Perhaps it was the growing sense of guilt in her heart that made Shen Zhi Qiu's tone much gentler.
"Yes, that's true. You have someone taking care of you. I hope Lu Jia can take good care of you." Si Mingyu lowered his eyes and said somewhat forlornly, "Zhi Qiu, I have to go now. The doctor is here to check on you. I'll hang up now. I'm relieved to know you're alright."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhi Qiu felt somewhat relieved.
“I feel like Si Mingyu has changed a bit,” Lu Jia said, frowning.
“Yes, I think he might be slowly letting go.” Shen Zhi Qiu nodded. “That’s for the best. But I’m still worried about his leg. You heard what the doctor said after he was wheeled into the operating room. Even if the surgery is successful, he might not be able to walk properly.”
I'm afraid that while he's in a good mental state now, if he doesn't fully recover, knowing him as someone who has very high expectations of himself, I'm genuinely worried that he'll have a mental breakdown if he finds out he can no longer walk like a normal person.
"Don't prepare for the worst yet," Rong Mo's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Shen Zhi Qiu and Lu Jia turned around and saw Rong Mo already dressed and walking down.
"I have already asked Wei Qiao to contact top medical teams overseas. We must spare no expense to have them come and treat Si Mingyu. If any other medical equipment is needed, we will charter a plane to bring it back."
"Brother, thank you." Shen Zhi Qiu pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
"I just hope you don't have too much of a psychological burden. After all, you were injured at the Rong family's hotel, so it's only right that I do this."
Rong Mo walked up to Shen Zhi Qiu and gently ruffled her hair. "Tell your brother what's wrong. I'll take care of you no matter what."
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's worried expression, Rong Mo teased, "Your brother is taller than you, so nothing can overwhelm you."
Shen Zhi Qiu burst out laughing, and the atmosphere finally lightened up a bit.
"I'll go out and see. Yan Yan has already completed the discharge procedures. The bodyguard will take her to the door soon. I'll go and meet her."
Shen Zhi Qiu immediately stood up to go with him, but Rong Mo smiled and patted Shen Zhi Qiu's shoulder, "You wait inside, it's cold outside."
As soon as Rong Mo stood in the courtyard, he saw the butler helping Yan Yan out of the car.
"Let me help you." Rong Mo walked over quickly, gentlemanly extending his uninjured hand, indicating that Yan Yan should help him.
Yan Yan noticed Rong Mo's pale lips and asked with concern, "Are you alright? I heard you were injured."
"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury." Rong Mo smiled, and Yan Yan naturally placed her hand on Rong Mo's outstretched hand. "Thank you then."
When they came in, Rong Hong was already sitting in the living room drinking tea.
Yan Yan smiled and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have bothered you."
"Yan Yan, come and sit down. Make yourself at home, don't be shy," Rong Hong said with a smile. "A foot injury can be serious or minor, so you still need to be careful. There are many people here, so everyone can take care of you."
"Thank you." Yan Yan smiled a little shyly and touched her red hair clip.
Rong Hong's gaze fell on her hair clip, and his breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
………
South City.
As soon as Shen Yanshan returned home, before he could even speak, Lin Yueshan turned and went into the bedroom, locking the door from the inside.
Shen Yanshan stormed back to the living room, and as soon as he sat down, he received a photo.
He clicked on it and immediately beamed with joy.
