Chapter 135 Unexpected Incident
The weather was nice today, with the warm afternoon sun shining down. The greenhouse had a temperature control system, and with professional florists taking care of it, the flowers didn't experience the withering of winter.
"Niannian, Grandma is so lucky to be able to enjoy such a good life because of you."
"Grandma, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be this big now. It's my responsibility to take care of you."
A complex emotion flashed across Grandma Su's aged face.
She looked at Su Niannian for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end she just sighed softly.
Aunt Chen helped Grandma Su tidy up a room and decorated it slightly according to the habits of the elderly.
She knew that older people are more sensitive to the cold, and even though the villa had a temperature control system and wasn't cold at all, elderly people's body temperature tends to be low all year round, so she prepared a thick quilt for Grandma Su.
"Young Madam, I've prepared a thick quilt for Auntie, so please don't worry." Aunt Chen came out after tidying up the room.
Su Niannian and the old lady happened to be sitting on the sofa talking.
Hearing Aunt Chen's words, she said, "Aunt Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all part of my job."
"Grandma, it's getting late, you should go and rest too," Su Niannian said to her grandmother.
Grandma Su spent the afternoon familiarizing herself with the villa and gradually got used to it. With her granddaughter's help, she returned to her room.
The room was furnished with clean and tidy bedding, and a cotton nightgown was thoughtfully placed on the bed, which Grandma Su could feel as being made of the finest material.
The same pajamas she wears in her upscale apartment in the neighborhood.
Her granddaughter and Mr. Gu treat her even better than her own children.
Just as I was feeling sentimental.
Grandma Su's cell phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly rang.
When I took it out, I saw that it belonged to my son, Su Guowei.
A hint of hesitation appeared on her wrinkled face, but she answered the call anyway.
"Mom, where are you now?" Su Guowei asked on the other end of the line.
After having dinner with Li Xiumei in the evening, he went to the old lady's residence again.
But no one answered the doorbell after ringing it for a long time. When I put my eye to the peephole, the room was still pitch black.
The room was clearly empty.
They thought that the old lady would have to go home to sleep at least tonight.
I waited downstairs the whole time.
It was past nine o'clock, and the old lady still hadn't appeared.
Even if the two of them were foolish, they would know that the old lady was deliberately avoiding them.
Grandma Su was both angry and helpless about her son. She was angry that he couldn't stand up for himself and didn't act like the head of the family.
But no matter what, it doesn't change the fact that Su Guowei is her son.
What do you want?
“Mom, Xiumei and I haven’t seen you for a while. We wanted to invite you to stay at our home for a couple of days. We’ve repainted Su Xin’s bedroom, so you can stay there.”
Grandma Su thought to herself, "Why didn't I think of that before? Why am I thinking of his mother now?"
"I'm very happy living in this big villa here in Niannian, I won't go to live with you."
"What?" Li Xiumei snatched the phone away. "Mom, you're living in a big villa now? How big is it? It must have cost a lot of money!"
Grandma Su felt triumphant, as she had always been bullied by this daughter-in-law.
"It's as big as ten football fields; it would take half a day to walk around the backyard."
Li Xiumei knew that Su Niannian had married a rich man, but she didn't expect him to be this rich.
"What exactly does Su Niannian's husband do? How can he be so rich?" she asked Su Guowei, covering the microphone of her phone.
"Last time Su Xin was trafficked to northern Myanmar, it was thanks to Niannian's boyfriend that she was rescued. Otherwise, she would either be missing a kidney or forced into prostitution. How could her influence be small?"
Li Xiumei secretly regretted not being nicer to Su Niannian before.
That way, she can also enjoy the good life.
She's now filled with deep regret.
"Mom, I got a free-range hen that's been raised for three years. It's great for making chicken soup, it's the most nutritious thing for pregnant women. Where does Niannian live? I'll kill it and send it to her."
Li Xiumei changed her attitude from before and became extremely attentive.
The old lady wasn't stupid: "Xiumei, you can keep it for yourselves. Niannian has everything she needs here. It's getting late, I'll hang up now."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Li Xiumei listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone.
He frowned and looked at Su Guowei: "Your mother's mouth is really tight."
Su Guowei couldn't help but say, "I told you to be nicer to Niannian before, but you just wouldn't listen. What's the use of regretting it now? If I were Niannian, I wouldn't pay any attention to you either."
Li Xiumei glared at him angrily: "Then why didn't you stop me before? What's the use of just talking?"
The two of them slunk back home late at night.
---
Grandma Su stayed in the villa for three days in a row and gradually became familiar with the place.
Li Xiumei hasn't called again in the past two days. She was thinking of going back to live in the community in a few days, but things didn't go as she planned.
After breakfast, Su Niannian escorted Gu Yuheng to the courtyard.
"Come inside quickly, it's cold." Gu Yuheng put Su Niannian's hands in his coat pocket and held them in his palm to warm them.
Su Niannian glanced around.
They found no one around.
She tiptoed lightly and secretly kissed the man's cheek with her red lips.
"Then be careful on your way."
Gu Yuheng's breath hitched, wondering if she even knew how much damage she could inflict on him.
How dare she steal a kiss from me so early in the morning?
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Understood."
Gu Yuheng took a car to work.
The black Maybach had just left.
A commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the villa.
