What exactly was Old Madam Shi afraid of? Was she afraid that her cleverness and quick wit would allow her to replace Shi Sheng in the hearts of the Si family?
right.
That's definitely the case.
Otherwise, why wouldn't Madam Shi let her go to the Si family?
eccentric.
That's so unfair!
Does that mean only Shi Sheng is her granddaughter, and I'm not her granddaughter?
Tang An felt increasingly distressed as he thought about it.
Upon hearing Madam Shi's reply, Shi Nanyue's smile visibly froze. "Mom, I know your concerns, but after all, Madam Si and Third Madam traveled a long way to visit you. Now that An'an has gone to Hong Kong for a special trip, wouldn't it cause gossip if we didn't show any appreciation?"
Madam Shi shook her head. "Neither Madam Si nor Yingxiang are unreasonable people. They know our family's situation and won't blame us. Since An'an wants to go to Hong Kong, let her have a good time and not think about those messy things."
At this point, Madam Shi looked at Tang An and said, "Hong Kong is a shopping paradise. An'an, you are at the age where you love to buy, wear, and dress up. After you go to Hong Kong, you don't need to think about saving money for your grandma. Just buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, just tell your grandma."
Madam Shi valued this granddaughter very much.
After all, if they can't find her Sheng Bao...
Tang An is the sole heir to the Shi Group.
"Thank you, Grandma." Tang An forced a smile.
Shi Nanyue knew there was no turning back now. She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I understand what you mean. Then I won't let An'an bother the Si family. You and Aunt Yin have a good talk. An'an and I will go prepare lunch."
“Go ahead,” Madam Shi nodded, then instructed, “Your Aunt Yin is about to return to City A. Tell the kitchen to make more dishes that suit her taste.”
"Okay, Mom."
Chen Yin then added, "Actually, there's no need to go to all that trouble."
"No trouble at all." Old Madam Shi patted Chen Yin's hand.
Shi Nanyue led Tang An away from the back garden.
Tang An said dejectedly, "Mom, maybe I shouldn't go to Hong Kong. Let's go back to our hometown with you and Dad instead."
"Why?" Shi Nanyue asked.
Tang An continued, "She won't even let me visit the Si family, so what's the point of me going to Hong Kong?"
Tang An went to Hong Kong in order to get closer to the Si family.
She wanted to make the Si family like her even more.
But now...
Shi Nanyue narrowed her eyes. "You won't go just because she says so?"
At this point, Shi Nanyue grasped Tang An's hand, "An'an, opportunities are created by ourselves, not given by others."
Shi Nanyue's words contained a lot of information.
But no one knows a mother better than her daughter.
Tang An instantly understood the meaning behind Shi Nanyue's words, and his previously gloomy and dejected eyes filled with light. "Mom, I know what to do."
Shi Nanyue smiled and said, "Old Madam Si loves the handmade pastries from Liu San Hutong. Remember to buy some to take with you."
Sending a goose feather from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning.
For wealthy families like the Si family, the important thing is not how expensive the gift is, but the sentiment behind it.
Tang An smiled and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll have someone go buy it right away."
“Go ahead.” Shi Nanyue nodded.
After Tang An left.
Shi Nanyue went to the kitchen and instructed the head chef: "Master Chen will be staying for lunch today, so the dishes can be made a bit spicier."
Chen Yin is from Sichuan and Chongqing.
They prefer strong flavors and spicy food.
The head chef nodded. "Yes, Miss Nan Yue."
Shi Nanyue continued, "Is the tonic soup ready, sir?"
The gentleman was referring to Shi Nanxing.
Although Shi Nanxing is paralyzed in bed and in a vegetative state, he still needs to be given nutrition in a timely manner.
"It's ready to stew," the chef replied.
Shi Nanyue turned around to get the tonic.
About ten minutes later, Shi Nanyue brought the tonics to Shi Nanxing's courtyard.
She carried the tonic in one hand and pushed open the door with the other.
"Nanxing, your older sister is here."
Shi Nanxing lay on the bed, unresponsive.
The tonic was prepared in advance by the chef and could be directly injected into the feeding tube. Shi Nanyue carefully put the tonic into the feeding tube and spoke gently while injecting it: "Nanxing, you have to get better soon. Mom is still waiting for you to wake up and find out the truth about the car accident back then."
No one noticed that right after Shi Nanyue said those words, Shi Nanxing's index finger, which was resting by the bedside, twitched.
