Lin Yuexi felt embarrassed and wanted to say something back, but she held back for fear of disturbing Old Man Xie. She could only whisper to Xie Youan, "Dad, why don't you let Aunt and brother calm down first? Grandpa needs some quiet time now."
Xie Youan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said to Xia Jing: "Take Wen Lei back first, don't make trouble here, the old man is still sick."
Xia Jing glared at Lin Yuexi fiercely, then dragged Xie Wenlei away angrily. Before leaving, she did not forget to say, "If this foreign building is not returned, this matter will not be over!"
After everyone left, Lin Yuexi sat back down beside Mr. Xie's bed and gently held his hand: "Grandpa, don't take it to heart. Take good care of yourself. When you get better, everything will be fine."
Old Master Xie looked at her with guilt: "Yuexi, I'm sorry for making you suffer. It's all Grandpa's fault. He brought you so much trouble."
Lin Yuexi's eyes were slightly red, but she still managed a smile: "Grandpa, please don't say that. Being a member of the Xie family and having a grandfather like you is the luckiest thing in my life."
Xie Youan looked at Lin Yuexi, who was so filial, and his heart was filled with guilt and gratitude.
The person he feels most sorry for in his life is his daughter. Now his wife is still targeting her at such a young age. It is really heartbreaking.
He walked silently to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and secretly made up his mind that if it was really Xia Jing who poisoned his father, he would never let her go.
So in the following days, Lin Yuexi insisted on staying in the hospital to take care of Mr. Xie.
She came to the hospital early every day to wipe Grandpa Xie's body, feed him, treat him with acupuncture, and insist on letting him drink a glass of Lingquan water every day. In her free time, she sat aside to study medical books, looking for better treatment methods based on Grandpa's condition.
Although Xia Jing and her son were temporarily driven away by Xie Youan, they did not intend to give up.
Xia Jing cried all day at home, complaining that Xie Youan favored Lin Yuexi, and instigated Xie Wenlei to take the foreign-style house back.
Xie Wenlei was a little hesitant at first, but under the constant instigation of his mother, he gradually lost his mind and began to come to the hospital frequently. Ostensibly, he was visiting his grandfather, but in fact, he was coming to force Lin Yuexi to return the villa.
Lin Yuexi was overwhelmed by these unwarranted harassment, but she never paid attention to Xie Wenlei's unreasonable demands, and instead focused more on the treatment of Mr. Xie.
Under her careful care, Mr. Xie's condition gradually improved and his spirits were much better than before.
An exceptionally sunny day came quietly, and Mr. Xie finally met the conditions for discharge and was able to leave the hospital and return to the familiar Xie family home.
With the help of Lin Yuexi and Xie Youan, Grandpa Xie finally returned home. A long-lost smile appeared on her wrinkled face.
After settling Mr. Xie, Lin Yuexi called Aunt Li aside and said with a serious and concerned look: "Aunt Li, from now on, please take care of Mr. Xie's three meals a day. We will be responsible for all the food, and no outsiders can interfere."
Aunt Li looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Why is that? All of Mr. Xie's ingredients were bought by his wife before..."
Lin Yuexi patiently explained, "Aunt Li, Grandpa has just recovered from a serious illness and is still very weak. His diet must be nutritionally balanced and reasonable so that he can recover as soon as possible. I've thought about it and I'll buy the ingredients and you'll be in charge of the food. You're careful and reliable, so I feel most at ease with you doing it."
After hearing this, Aunt Li nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Somehow these words reached Xia Jing's ears, and she instantly flew into a rage, not acting like a government official's wife at all. She put her hands on her hips and yelled at Lin Yuexi, "Lin Yuexi, this foreign bastard, is really going too far! She just came back to the Xie family, but she's so arrogant that she even dares to interfere in her mother's family's affairs! It's not your turn to make decisions in the Xie family!"
She was cursing very hard and was heard by Xie Youan who happened to be passing by.
Xie Youan frowned, his eyes full of anger and disappointment, and he shouted, "Xia Jing, have you had enough of this? Yuexi is doing this for her father's good. It would be fine if you didn't help, but you are still making trouble and speaking ill of her. Are you deliberately making things difficult for everyone?"
Xia Jing's face turned pale and red after being scolded by Xie Youan. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but when she met Xie Youan's cold eyes, she swallowed her words back, returned to her room with a grim face, and locked the door.
Xie Youan's face was full of frost. He was extremely disappointed with Xia Jing's unreasonable behavior and simply ignored her.
Just at this time, the army called to inform him that the vacation was over, there was an urgent task to be handled, and he needed to return to the team immediately.
Xie Youan hung up the phone and hurried to find Lin Yuexi. He looked solemn, full of worry and instructions: "Yuexi, Dad has an emergency in the army and must go back immediately. The family depends on you during this period. Grandpa has just recovered, so you must pay more attention to his diet and daily life. If there is anything, don't handle it alone, contact me immediately. Also, try not to conflict with Xia Jing. If she makes trouble again, stay away and protect yourself."
Lin Yuexi nodded solemnly, her eyes firm: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of grandpa and take care of the family affairs. You can go back to the army without worry."
Xie Youan repeated his instructions a few more times before turning around and leaving in a hurry.
Since Xie Youan returned to the army, Lin Yuexi took care of Grandpa Xie at the Xie family for a period of time and saw that he had almost recovered!
She was preparing to return to Peking University. Lin Yuexi was a little worried about Mr. Xie staying at home, so she asked him to live with her in the house at Peking University or with Aunt Zhang, but Mr. Xie refused.
Lin Yuexi had no choice but to ask Aunt Li to take good care of the food and send it over every few days.
The days passed like this until one day, Grandpa Xie said he missed his two little babies.
That day, Lin Yuexi took a day off and asked Su Yue to accompany her and take Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong back to the Xie family's old house.
At this time, under the dedicated care of Aunt Li and Lin Yuexi, the health of the old man of the Xie family has recovered to its previous state.
What's more, people are in high spirits when they are happy. The two little babies are more than three months old now. They laugh out loud whenever someone teases them. They are so cute that people love them so much.
The family gathered in the old house, full of laughter and joy.
Grandpa Xie held the two little babies in his arms and looked at them, his face beaming with smiles and happiness hidden in his wrinkles.
Xia Jing, who originally had an incompatible relationship with Mr. Xie, seemed to have become a different person recently and was particularly enthusiastic towards Lin Yuexi and Mr. Xie.
Xia Jing not only took the initiative to take care of the chores at home, but also often talked to Lin Yuexi with a smile; Xie Wenlei also changed his previous attitude of making things difficult for her and called her sister affectionately when they met.
But Lin Yuexi knew clearly that if someone showed too much kindness for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.
She couldn't believe that Xia Jing could let go of her prejudices so easily and become so generous.
