Time passed slowly, and after nearly two hours, the two finally arrived at the hospital where Grandpa Huo was staying.
Upon arrival at their destination, Huo Jinning quickly immersed herself in the role of Fu Qinian's girlfriend.
After the car came to a stop, she got out without hesitation and took the handle of Fu Qinian's wheelchair from Li Mo. Then, she deftly pushed him into the hospital.
Fu Qinian was clearly caught off guard by Huo Jinning's actions, but a sense of surprise and joy welled up inside him.
After all, he had never imagined that the other party would take the initiative to do this.
This hospital was originally owned by the Fu family, so Grandpa Huo had his own private ward. Although it was called a ward, it was actually spacious and elegantly furnished, with a luxurious bed, an adjustable mattress, and comfortable pillows.
It also features a large-screen TV, a sound system, and high-speed internet connectivity.
There is also a small living area with comfortable sofas and chairs, providing a place for patients and visitors to rest and socialize.
The ward also has a dedicated nursing area for medical staff, including nurses and doctors, to provide 24-hour monitoring and care.
[I never imagined that the hospital rooms for the wealthy would be bigger than the house I bought with a loan.]
[I'm going to start hating the rich again.]
[Hehe, now I'm rich too.]
Just as Huo Jinning was lost in thought, Wei Qiuwan, who was in the ward, spotted her standing outside the door.
"Ningning, come in quickly!" Wei Qiuwan waved to the door with a big smile, then turned to the old man on the hospital bed and said, "Dad, look, Xiaonian's girlfriend has come to see you!"
[Ding! There's some good news.]
But I don't have time to gossip right now.
Huo Jinning walked briskly into the ward, a sweet smile on her face as she greeted Wei Qiuwan: "Hello, Aunt Fu, hello, Grandpa Fu."
After exchanging greetings, Huo Jinning sat down next to the hospital bed.
It was then that she noticed that Grandpa Fu had an oxygen tube in his mouth and was unable to speak.
However, the old man still raised his hand with difficulty, a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if hoping that Huo Jinning could get closer to him.
Huo Jinning immediately understood. She got up and moved closer to Grandpa Fu, then carefully took his thin, bony hand.
She said softly, "Grandpa, Aqi and I came to see you. You must get better soon, otherwise if Aqi bullies me in the future, I'll have to ask you to stand up for me!" After saying that, she winked mischievously at Grandpa Fu.
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Huo Jinning, Grandpa Fu's eyes were full of affection.
Although he couldn't express his feelings in words, his slightly trembling fingers revealed his excitement and joy.
Wei Qiuwan, who was standing to the side, saw all of this and her face was also filled with a satisfied smile.
Grandpa Fu glared at Fu Qinian with a warning look in his eyes, then gently patted Huo Jinning's hand with his other hand to comfort her, as if to tell her not to be afraid and that he would support her.
"Grandpa, do you know? A few days ago I successfully bid on a super big and super good piece of jade at an auction! Look, it's about this big!" Huo Jinning excitedly spread her arms wide, trying her best to exaggerate the size of the jade and recounting the interesting things that happened.
...
However, before long, Grandpa Fu could not resist the drowsiness that came over him and gradually drifted off to sleep.
Seeing this, everyone quietly left the ward.
"Xiao Nian, this is your girlfriend. She's really beautiful. You have great taste."
Li Juan, Fu Qinian's second aunt, said with a hint of sarcasm, implying that Fu Qinian only valued appearance when choosing a girlfriend.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning turned to Fu Qinian and asked, "Qi, who is this...?"
In fact, Huo Jinning already had a pretty good idea of who the person in front of her was.
The original book states that Fu Qinian's grandfather had two sons. The eldest son was named Fu Wen, who was Fu Qinian's biological father. The second son was named Fu Bo. It is likely that this woman is Fu Bo's wife, Li Juan.
"Ningning, this is your second aunt, second uncle, and cousin's wife." Fu Qin introduced them to Huo Jinning casually, without much enthusiasm.
"Hello, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Sister!" Huo Jinning was very well-behaved and sensible, and took the initiative to greet them.
"Ningning, you're too kind! Look at this child, she's got such a beautiful face, I wonder how many men she'll charm in the future!" Li Juan said with a forced smile, her words full of sarcasm.
Despite Li Juan's words, which were ostensibly complimentary but actually derogatory, Huo Jinning seemed completely oblivious to their deeper meaning.
Instead, she responded with a bright smile, "Thank you for your praise, Second Aunt! Of course I know I am beautiful. After all, everyone loves a beautiful woman, don't you think, Second Aunt?" Her words seemed soft and weak, but they actually contained a hidden meaning, easily putting Li Juan in a difficult position.
Li Juan was stunned for a moment, as if she had thrown a punch with all her might but it had hit soft cotton, with no force whatsoever.
She couldn't figure out whether Huo Jinning was genuinely dull-witted or feigning ignorance, whether he couldn't understand the deeper meaning in her words or was doing it on purpose.
Wei Qiuwan, standing to the side, wanted to laugh but dared not let it out, her face turning red from holding it in, looking quite uncomfortable.
Fu Wen and Fu Qinian were equally surprised. They stared at Huo Jinning and sighed inwardly: This girl is truly exceptionally intelligent. She spoke such strong words in the gentlest tone, leaving no room for doubt.
"Niannian, come and meet your sister-in-law."
Seeing his wife speechless, Fu Bo was secretly annoyed, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to speak up to defuse the situation.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Fu Nianchao greeted Huo Jinning sweetly, looking very well-behaved and cute.
"Okay, Niannian is good." Huo Jinning smiled sincerely and replied softly.
This greeting came from her heart.
[Of this family, only Fu Nianchao is a good person.]
[But this name is disgusting. And "Nian Chao"—isn't that just calling out his ex-girlfriend Gu Chaochao?]
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinian glanced at Huo Jinning. It seemed she knew quite a lot. He had only recently learned that his second uncle had an ex-girlfriend named Gu Chaochao.
[This Fu Bo is also a complete scumbag.]
[In the original book, after Fu Qinian was injured, Gu Nianchao frequently visited his cousin and inquired everywhere about good doctors, hoping to cure his leg.]
[They even went abroad to search, but still couldn't find it.]
[After her father found the son of his beloved, she... what a pity...]
After exchanging greetings, Fu Bo took his wife and daughter back home, leaving only Fu Qinian's family behind.
