Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Grandma Awakens, The Time is Ripe

Su Mu didn’t know that Ji Qingluan would come today, but from the way she looked at him, it seemed she already knew he was here. Su Mu felt somewhat embarrassed but could only smile:

"Qingluan."

Ji Qingluan smiled faintly:

"I came to find you. I didn’t know your phone number before, so I called Wen Han, and he told me you were here, so I came over."

Su Mu looked at Wen Han, somewhat unsure of what he was really thinking. Who didn’t know Ji Qingluan’s feelings towards him? Yet he blatantly said that Su Mu was at his place with no intent to avoid suspicion, wasn’t this clearly causing Ji Qingluan to misunderstand?

Walking downstairs:

"Yesterday there was an issue, and Qiqi was left here to play with Shaoyuan. When I came to pick her up in the evening, the child had already slept, and it had started raining heavily outside, so I stayed overnight."

These words were an explanation, intended for Ji Qingluan to hear, but Ji Qingluan only looked at Su Mu and smiled. As Su Mu approached, she said softly:

"You don’t need to explain to me, I am not a jealous woman."

This situation left Su Mu helpless, yet he found it difficult to say anything else and just smiled faintly:

"Is there something you needed me for?"

"Yes, our foundation wants to create a charity brochure about left-behind children, to help more people understand this group, so I came to find you. I don’t know if you have time."

"For such meaningful work, even if there is no time, one must make time. Besides, I am not very busy recently, and I would be more than happy to help."

Zhou Yaxian watched the two with some dilemma. Before Su Mu’s appearance, Ji Qingluan was the daughter-in-law she favored, but at that time, Wen Han had no intention of finding someone, so he kept dragging without any progress. Now that Wen Han had opened up, Su Mu had appeared.

Once Wen Han had discussed this topic, he didn’t pay mind to any of Zhou Yaxian’s words, and looking at his mother, he said softly:

"Mom, it’s not that I opened up because Su Mu appeared; rather, it’s because of Su Mu’s appearance that I opened up."

Both women in front of her were good, so good that Zhou Yaxian didn’t want any of them to get hurt. But in this world, as long as there are choices, there will be hurts, which are inevitable.

The old lady woke up in the afternoon, with Fu Shinian by her side. Seeing that the old lady had opened her eyes, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and leaned in anxiously:

"Grandma..."

The old lady had just woken up, her consciousness still a bit hazy, unable to discern exactly where she was at the moment. But when she saw Fu Shinian, she visibly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth:

"Shinian..."

In the past three years, the old lady had moments of recognizing him, but those were times of confused memories; she occasionally thought he was still a primary school student, other times she thought he was from his university days, but not once was it as genuinely and vividly recalling everything as it was now.

"Grandma, you finally woke up."

This "finally," Fu Shinian had waited for three years. Perhaps only he could clearly understand how much it entailed; however, the old lady was not very aware, all her memories were still from shortly after the New Year three years ago; these three years, to her, were nothing but a long dream.

The old lady looked around:

"Am I hospitalized again?"

"It’s just a mild discomfort, merely a short recuperation, we can be discharged anytime."

"It’s good if we can be discharged, I was worried that I got a disease that would trouble you again."

"Grandma." Fu Shinian frowned unhappily, "I don’t like hearing you talk like that. You raised me single-handedly since I was little. Not to mention that you are healthy now, even if one day you do get sick, taking care of you and attending to you is my duty."

The old lady didn’t dwell on the topic any further. She looked around and didn’t see anyone else in the room, which made her start to worry:

"Where’s Susu? Why isn’t she here? You haven’t done something to upset her again that would make her angry, have you?"

Fu Shinian was slightly stunned for a moment, then he spoke:

"She is busy."

"You’re not deceiving grandma?" Regarding matters concerning Fu Shinian and Su Mu, the old lady still didn’t trust him as usual.

Fu Shinian smiled faintly:

"No."

The old lady nodded in relief and said no more.

Not much time had passed when Ji Nanfeng and Qiao Yu entered the hospital room. Seeing the old lady awake, they happily greeted her, but there wasn’t much time for pleasantries. Ji Nanfeng and Fu Shinian stepped aside to whisper:

"We can no longer delay; she might come at any moment."

"Yes, you and the old lady leave now."

"What about you?"

Hearing this, Fu Shinian chuckled lightly, "I can’t just let her rush here for nothing, can I?"

Upon hearing Fu Shinian say this, Ji Nanfeng didn’t worry anymore, but simply nodded, "Okay, I’ll take the old lady first."

The old lady was puzzled about leaving with Ji Nanfeng, but she didn’t probe further. After all, she had watched these three children grow up. Although they sometimes acted rebelliously, they were good kids and wouldn’t do anything too outrageous.

The old lady didn’t ask, which relieved Fu Shinian quite a bit. After all, if they started into the things of the past three years, he really didn’t know where to begin.

After Ji Nanfeng took the old lady away, Qiao Yu stood at the doorway looking at Fu Shinian, who was standing by the window, and softly spoke:

"It’s all over."

Fu Shinian nodded slightly and smiled faintly:

"Yes, but some things are just beginning."

His three years of endurance were not going to be suffered in vain.

Knowing Fu Shinian’s nature, Qiao Yu didn’t say much else but asked softly, "Do you need me to stay with you?"

"It’s not necessary."

Not long after Qiao Yu left, Xu Yansu walked into the hospital room. She was momentarily stunned by the empty hospital bed and then asked, "Where’s the old lady?"

Fu Shinian turned to look at her, but due to the backlight, Xu Yansu couldn’t clearly see his expression. However, the chill in his voice was clear as he spoke:

"Naturally, she’s where she should be."

Xu Yansu paused for a few seconds, then stepped closer to Fu Shinian:

"What do you mean by that? Have you moved the old lady?"

"Shouldn’t I have? You’ve held the old lady in your grasp for three years, threatening me. That’s long enough; people shouldn’t be too greedy."

How the old lady was doing or where she was now did not concern Xu Yansu in the slightest. Her worry was that with the old lady gone, Shi Lihua wouldn’t have anything left to control Fu Shinian. Perhaps in desperation, she would directly target Fu Shinian’s life. Without his medication for a month, the virus inside him would cause his organs to fail and kill him.

Shi Lihua had never intended to let Fu Shinian live; to her, the torment of these three years was already enough.
