C38 (2/2)

He helped the old lady up and placed the pillow behind her, allowing her to lean half against the bed.

The old lady paused for a moment, as if considering her words.

”Liang Xia, what is your relationship with that Mister Xiao? I'm afraid that it's not as simple as just friends, right? ”

She was short of breath, so the old lady spoke slowly but clearly.

Shen Liangxia's eyes turned around: Why did Grandma think of asking you this? Was it because of what happened just now, that I was actually lying to my cousin? What kind of person is Xiao Cui, that she can provoke?

”It's that simple? ”You're lying to me!” The old lady's gaze was cloudy, but her expression was stern. It was obvious that she did not believe her words.

”How did I lie to you? What's more, why would I lie to you? It's not beneficial at all.” Shen Liang Xia pouted, feeling wronged.

”Do you really think I can't see it? What did that man look at you with? ”Those eyes, they're looking at you without even looking at anyone else, and I really want to stick onto your body. You think I've lived for nothing at my age?”

Her deception infuriated the old lady, ”You think you're good at lying. Don't forget, even if I don't expose you, it doesn't mean that I've been tricked by your tricks.”

”Don't be angry. Look at you, your health isn't good either. Wouldn't you be making yourself suffer if you were to be so angry?”

Shen Liangxia did not dare to provoke her, so she could only try to persuade her in a soft tone.

The old lady didn't want to pay for it. ”F * ck off!” The Old Granny waved her claws. ”Did you get your head squeezed by a crack in the door? You're so stupid, right? Who is that Xiao guy? With one look, you can tell that he isn't an ordinary rich person. Your elder cousin is so stupid that she can't afford to offend him, and you think you can? You don't understand why your mother ended up like that, do you?

Shen Liangxia kindly explained, ”I understand, why not? With his status, of course I can't afford to offend him, but think about it, Grandma. Can't I just avoid him?” I'd been in the hospital less than two hours when he caught up with me. You know, Grandmother, you really think he has a runny nose. You just threw him out. ”

”Where's the Shen family? Where's Shen Jianguo? Would he not interfere in such matters? No matter what, you are still his daughter, and he can only watch helplessly as you are entangled by someone else. ”

Shen Jianguo? Shen Liangxia pursed her lips, ”What does he care? Of course he does, he just has to think of a way little by little?” This sort of matter wasn't something that could be resolved in a day. ”As for you, don't think about anything else. This time, come with me. Let's go to the main hospital and find experts to treat your illness. In the future, we can live a good life.”

”I'm not going.”

The old lady was resolute.

”I will stay here and not go anywhere! ”I'm not stupid yet. Do you really think I don't know anything? Every time those doctors talk to that Xiao guy, they say that he is the one who hired you. If you go to S city and stay in the hospital, how much will it cost? Can we afford it?”

”How can I not afford it? Grandmother, don't forget, I'm still surnamed Shen. I'm Shen Jianguo's daughter, and the Shen family has given me enough money to treat your illness.”

”Shen?” So what if he was surnamed Shen? If his surname is Shen, then he wouldn't abandon your mother after having been in love with her for seven years for the sake of the future. Yet, your mother is still an honest person, once she turns around, she would say a few good words and surrender her heart back to her.

Shen Liangxia was silent and did not speak. Her grandmother had a bad temper and did not often mention her mother, but every time she did, she was especially angry.

When Shen Liangxia was young, she thought that her grandma didn't like her mother, so she would always gnash her teeth every time she spoke of it. However, when she grew up, she would stop thinking like this.

The reason Granny was like this, after all, was because she felt both heartache and anger at her daughter's failure to live up to her expectations.

However, these things could not be changed.

Things had already happened and his mother was no longer around. No matter if he was right or wrong when he was young, all he could say now was that the dead was too big.

If a person died, many things would end in death.

”He, Shen Jianguo, is heartless. He is born with the heart of a donkey. Nannan, tell grandma that he is good to you.”

Shen Liangxia's hand was held by her grandmother. The old man's hands were as thin as firewood, and his joints and age spots were unusually prominent.

It was these hands that supported her by picking up trash. But now, after so much effort, she finally had to lie down on her sickbed and undergo such painful treatment every day.

Shen Liangxia's eyes reddened, and she tried her best to hold back her tears: ”Good, it's good, I'm still a child of the Shen family after all, and I have his blood on me. You don't know, my grandfather and grandmother have always loved me, and they even gave me pocket money, afraid that I would be wronged outside.”

Her eyes were cloudy, but she still wanted to ask more, but Shen Liangxia pulled the pillow out from behind her and said, ”You, don't worry about me anymore, take a good rest. Right now, the most important thing is for you to recover from your illness.”

After settling down the old lady, Shen Liangxia found a hot water excuse and carried the thermos out. However, his heart was sour, as if something had corroded it.

However, before she could lament over her heartbreak, she was pulled into a fiery embrace the moment she pushed open the door.

Shen Liangxia looked up and saw the stern expression on Xiao Bu Dian's face, ”What's wrong with me? ”Why don't you and your grandmother like me?”
