Chapter 28

Huo Miaoyue ran to the old lady, her tone filled with worry and complaints, “Grandma, where have you been? We’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

The old lady’s eyes widened, and she immediately hid behind Shu Wan, pointing at Huo Miaoyue tremblingly, “Bad guy!”

Huo Miaoyue looked flustered, “Grandma, what are you talking about? I am your granddaughter.”

The old lady shook her head repeatedly, “Nonsense, I’m not married yet, how can I have a granddaughter as old as you?”

“Grandma.” Huo Zhengye called softly.

The old lady pulled Shu Wan and whispered, “Xixi, who are they? I don’t know them.”

At this moment, Shu Wan was also a little confused. She didn’t expect that the lost old woman she met on the road was Huo Zhengye’s grandmother.

The original owner did not have a close relationship with Huo Zhengye’s family. Apart from meeting on the wedding day, he had no memory of them since then.

When Shu Wan thought about it, the kind old man in her memory really matched the old lady in front of her.

Facing Huo Zhengye’s nervous eyes, Shu Wan said, “He is your grandson.”

“You lied to me too, I’m angry!”

The old lady wanted to shake off Shu Wan’s hand, but she was reluctant to let go. He had no choice but to turn his upper body away from her, clearly showing that he was very angry.

After a short time together, Shu Wan understood Grandma Huo’s temper and apologized quickly, “Grandma, you will become ugly if you are angry.”

Sure enough, Grandma Huo’s attention shifted. “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I don’t want to become ugly.”

Shu Wan smiled, “Of course, grandma is the most beautiful.”

Grandma Huo raised her chin proudly, “That’s right, Xixi, you are the second most beautiful, just a little bit less beautiful than me.”

Huo Zhengye looked at Shu Wan with a strange look in his eyes. Shu Wan had changed.

He no longer looks like he used to be, shouting, rude and uncultured.

On the wedding day, Shu Wan acted like a spoiled brat at home, overbearing and domineering, earning everyone’s disgust.

She was kicked out of the house before she could even stay there for a single day, and Huo Zhengye was asked to take her with him to join the army.

At this moment, Shu Wan’s brows were relaxed, and her clear eyes were filled with smiles. It was obvious that she was in a good mood, and at least she didn’t hate her grandma.

Huo Zhengye came to Shu Wan and asked her, “How did grandma come back?”

“After you sent me back, I met my grandma on the road. She suddenly jumped out by herself and scared me. She didn’t know anything, so I had to bring her back. I didn’t expect it to be your grandma.”

After hearing this, Huo Zhengye realized that he had misunderstood before. When his grandmother came over, Shu Wan probably hadn’t returned home yet.

There was no one at home, so how could anyone open the door?

Huo Miaoyue’s vague answer made him make a wrong guess. If Shu Wan had not happened to meet grandma, he would definitely have taken his anger out on Shu Wan.

Huo Zhengye glanced at Huo Miaoyue with a cold gaze. This cousin, although young, had a lot on her mind.

I don’t know if she was afraid that I would vent my anger on her and blame her for losing her grandmother, or if there was another reason…

The joy of seeing my cousin whom I hadn’t seen for a long time disappeared in an instant.

Huo Zhengye said to Shu Wan seriously, “Thank you.”

Shu Wan put her index finger on her lips, pointed at her drowsy grandma beside her, and whispered, “Shh, I’ll help grandma to rest first.”

Huo Zhengye came over and supported Grandma Huo, “I’ll do it.”

The arm with distinct veins was across her eyes. Shu Wan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded: “Oh, OK, help me to my room.”

Huo Zhengye looked at Shu Wan deeply and said, “Thank you for your help.”

After a day of running around, Grandma Huo was so tired that her eyelids were drooping and she was drowsy. Huo Zhengye carried her to the bed and laid her down.

Shu Wan took the initiative to squat down, took off Grandma Huo’s shoes and socks and put them aside. Fearing that the old lady would not sleep comfortably, she put a soft pillow on her and spread out the quilt on the bed and covered her with it.

Huo Zhengye watched Shu Wan’s movements. The ice in his eyes seemed to be blown away by the wind and filled with mist. His throat rolled up and down, “Thank you.”

Shu Wan looked at him strangely. She was getting annoyed by the constant talking.

“Why do you always say thank you? These are things I am happy to do. If I am not happy about it, I won’t do it even if you force me to do it.”

Huo Zhengye laughed from his throat, the mist in his eyes dissipated, and his brows softened instantly.

“Shh, don’t wake the old man up, go out and laugh if you want.”

Shu Wan glared at him and tiptoed out.

As soon as they left the room, Huo Miaoyue ran over, pointed at Shu Wan, and said to Huo Zhengye aggrievedly:

“Cousin, she must have said something bad about me behind my back, so grandma refused to acknowledge me and even said that I was a bad person!”

As she spoke, Huo Miaoyue glared at her with disgust.

“I know you don’t like me, but don’t disgust me with such a stupid reason. Grandma is not a puppet, she has her own thoughts. If she doesn’t like you, you might as well reflect on what you have done.”

Shu Wan is not talking nonsense, the plot in the book is:

Grandma Huo was killed by Huo Miaoyue. In order to conceal the truth, Huo Miaoyue pushed the blame on the original owner. This was also the main reason why Huo Zhengye hated the original owner so much later on.

Even in the later part of the book, someone has developed a specific drug to inhibit Alzheimer’s disease, but the old man has died and everything is in vain. This made Huo Zhengye even more hateful.

Shu Wan retorted without any hesitation, and Huo Miaoyue’s eyes flashed with panic, “Everyone knows that you hate our family. As long as you can’t make our life easy, you can do anything.”

It sounds as if the original owner was born an evil person who couldn’t stand seeing others do well.

If Shu Wan didn’t have the original owner’s memory, she would really believe it.

“Huo Miaoyue, that’s enough!”

Huo Zhengye shouted loudly, and Shu Wan was startled. Then she felt complicated. She never expected that one day Huo Zhengye would stand beside her and speak for her.

Huo Miaoyue pursed her lips in grievance and dared not speak.

Huo Zhengye glanced at Huo Miaoyue coldly, and his words made her lose all her blood.

“When you and grandma came, did you knock on the door and no one opened it, or was there no one there at all?”

Huo Miaoyue’s lips trembled. “I, I don’t know. But I knocked on the door and no one opened it. How do I know that no one is home or she deliberately didn’t open the door?”

Huo Miaoyue didn’t tell the truth. In fact, when she knocked on the door, someone from next door came over and told her that everyone was out and asked her if she wanted to come in and sit down.

Huo Miaoyue’s feet were hurting from standing, so she agreed immediately. Unexpectedly, her grandmother refused. In a fit of anger, Huo Miaoyue left the old woman behind and went into the house.

When I came out again, I found that grandma was gone.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Huo Zhengye’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. “Grandma, what’s going on?”

Huo Miaoyue glanced at Shu Wan, who left tactfully, “You guys chat.”

“No need, you stay and listen together.”

Since Huo Zhengye had said so, Shu Wan did not hesitate and sat down, waiting for Huo Miaoyue to speak.

Huo Miaoyue felt a little blocked in her heart. Why was it different from what she had imagined? It was even different from when she was at home. Moreover, her cousin didn’t seem to hate Shu Wan that much.

Huo Miaoyue shook her head, thinking it must be an illusion.

Huo Miaoyue sat far away from Shu Wan and spoke slowly: “Grandma was in good health, but her memory suddenly started to deteriorate a while ago. She would forget what I said to her the next second.”

“That’s all. Sometimes she suddenly becomes a different person and no one in the family recognizes her. When she wakes up, she returns to normal, but she forgets that memory.”

Huo Miaoyue bit her lip and said fearfully, “Cousin, do you think grandma is possessed by a ghost?”

Huo Zhengye’s face darkened and he warned sternly, “Watch your mouth and don’t say nonsense.”

“oh.”

Huo Miaoyue was reluctant, and it was obvious that she didn’t listen.

Huo Zhengye’s eyes were cold, “Huo Miaoyue, I don’t want to say it a second time.”

Huo Miaoyue shuddered and nodded repeatedly. “knew.”

Shu Wan curled her lips. It would be strange if Huo Miaoyue would listen. Grandma Huo’s death was caused by Huo Miaoyue’s ignorance.

“I will take a leave in two days to take grandma to the hospital for a checkup. While I’m away, you should stay with grandma and don’t lose her.”

“Cousin, I will take good care of grandma.”

Huo Zhengye nodded, “I will sleep in the duty room during this period.”

After saying that, he glanced at Shu Wan, who understood what he meant, “I’ll take you there.”
