"It’s just a minor injury!"

The old lady was excited because Xu Niannian had finally woken up, but upon hearing Elder Master Jin’s words, she turned her head and glared at him.

Her eyes were as big as copper bells, how could this be considered a minor injury when she had been unconscious for three whole days and nights?

The old lady wished she could drag Elder Master Jin to the ground and step on him twice, how could he be like this?

"Is this how you treat our darling?" the old lady raised her voice, snatched the baby back and said angrily, "Don’t hold my great-grandson."

Elder Master Jin was puzzled by the scolding, what did he do wrong?

How had he offended her?

Confronted with the old lady’s round eyes, Elder Master Jin involuntarily shrank his neck and smacked his lips, looking towards Xu Wentian, "How did I offend her?"

Xu Wentian knew Elder Master Jin well enough to understand from his expression that he was confused; probably the children had not dared tell him the real situation of Xu Niannian and Jin Yu’s injuries, fearing he would worry too much.

This old man was easily agitated by trivial matters.

Xu Wentian patted Gao Lihong’s shoulder to comfort her: "Don’t be too harsh on him."

Elder Master Jin was even more bewildered.

Hey, wait, what does ’don’t be too harsh on him’ mean?

What did he do wrong?

Did he commit murder, or set fire to something?

What mistake had he made?

"You old coot, I..."

Xu Wentian: "Niannian, how do you feel? Are you in much pain?"

Interrupted, Elder Master Jin pursed his lips and looked at the baby. He turned to Gao Lihong and said, "You old hag, tell me, how have I wronged your darling? Give me an explanation..."

"Niannian, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Jin Nanxi anxiously asked from the side.

Elder Master Jin was immediately incensed, annoyed that someone always seemed to interrupt him.

Xu Niannian had watched the whole process of Elder Master Jin being interrupted, and she hadn’t been talking just because she wanted to wait for him to finish. But someone always interrupted him.

Well, then, she couldn’t be blamed.

"Grandpa, I’m fine," Xu Niannian said with a smile to Xu Wentian, taking hold of the old lady’s hand: "Grandma, I’m sorry I made you worry. Niannian is fine."

With that, Xu Niannian looked at the family in the room and smiled, "I’ve worried everyone these past few days, but I’m alright now."

Ye Qin sighed, "It’s good that you’re alright."

Jin Nanxi also heaved a sigh of relief, "Exactly, it’s good that you’re fine."

Only when they saw that Xu Niannian’s complexion wasn’t too bad did the old lady and Xu Wentian genuinely feel relieved.

Thinking back to how Xu Niannian was unconscious in the hospital bed made the old lady’s heart ache so much that her voice choked up as she spoke, "Thank goodness you’re alright, otherwise how could I and your parents go on living?"

Hearing the old lady’s choked voice, and seeing her red eyes, Xu Wentian’s own eyes reddened, and Xu Niannian realized just how worried her family had been while she was unconscious.

Feeling guilty, she said, "Grandma, I’m sorry."

"Silly child, there’s no need to apologize to grandma," the old lady patted her head tenderly, "as long as you’re not seriously hurt, that’s all that matters to grandma."

Meanwhile, as the grandmother and granddaughter shared a tender moment, Elder Master Jin stood aside, completely perplexed.

Someone tell him, what exactly happened to Niannian?

Wasn’t it supposed to be just a minor injury?

How did it come to talking about living or not?

"Nanxi, tell me, what exactly is wrong with Niannian..."

"Hey, dad, don’t pull on my sleeve, I’m busy," Jin Nanxi bent down to pick up Xiao Bao, happily playing with the baby.

Elder Master Jin suddenly felt stifled, wanting to curse but refraining because there were two other elders in the hospital room. So, he had to forcefully hold back his frustration.

He’d settle scores later.

Aside from Xu Niannian, who was tenderly cared for, Jin Yu was also treated gently by Xu Wentian and Gao Lihong.

Soon, Jin Nanxi and Ye Qin went home, leaving only the old folks and Xu Sisi there.

Since Gao Lihong had no patience for Elder Master Jin, by implication, neither Xu Sisi nor Xu Wentian dared to speak to him.

As a result, Elder Master Jin stood alone in the hospital room, feeling shunned like an unwanted cat or dog.

Every time he tried to speak, he was interrupted by Gao Lihong.

He felt so angry and helpless, unable to say a word because he would be cut off immediately. And he didn’t dare to insist on finishing his speech because the moment the old hag’s glare came his way, he would be scared into silence.

The next day was the big New Year’s Day, and even though the old lady and Xu Wentian doted on Xu Niannian, they couldn’t stay at the hospital forever.

After all, they were both advanced in years, and their frail health would not allow them to take care of Xu Niannian and Jin Yu there.

So, before the two old people left, they dumped Xu Sisi there, asking her to help look after Xiao Bao and Da Bao.

As for Elder Master Jin, he sneakily followed Xu Wentian and Gao Lihong out.

Even though he had been interrupted multiple times, it didn’t affect Elder Master Jin’s determination to get answers.

So, he hurriedly followed them.

Xu Niannian was still joking with Jin Yu, saying that during the New Year’s, only they were unfortunate enough to stay in the hospital.

With Xu Sisi around, she was just there to help mix the formula for Xiao Bao and Da Bao, and besides that, she didn’t need to do anything else but chat with Xu Niannian.

With Xu Sisi there, Jin Yu had a belly full of words that he just couldn’t get a chance to say.

In the evening, Ye Shaoting and Jin Ruiyang both came to visit Xu Niannian and Jin Yu.

At the same time, they brought news that Ye Xiangtian wanted to see Xu Niannian.

If Xu Niannian didn’t go, he wouldn’t reveal a single word about everything he knew.
