Ji Nuan originally planned to leave the next afternoon. However, her grandmother abruptly fell sick and her aunt instructed Ji Nuan to send her to the hospital for a check-up. Her intentions were naturally for Ji Nuan to pay for the medical bills.
Ji Nuan did not mind this. She saw that her grandmother was seriously ill and called for an ambulance.
After a day of work, she finally returned home at night. Her grandmother was only suffering through some ailments related to old age. As it was the beginning of autumn, her body also suffered a little from the chill. It wasn’t a big concern.
Ji Nuan returned from the hospital and alighted from the car to see her aunt hanging clothes up to dry. Two of the pieces she had washed were the dresses the sisters had taken from Ji Nuan. They had likely dirtied them and they had to be washed directly.
These two pieces needed to be dry cleaned, and could not be washed with water. Although they could still be worn, they wouldn’t retain their original shape. In other words, they would become extremely ugly.
Ji Nuan only glanced an eye at her and did not say more. When her aunt saw that she had returned, she asked about her grandmother. After learning that she was fine, she did not ask further.
Ji Nuan supported her grandmother back to her room to rest, and when she stepped out, she saw that Song Keke was standing there with a lollipop in her mouth. It wasn’t clear what she was looking for, but when she noticed that Ji Nuan had returned, her expression immediately turned dumbstruck.
Ji Nuan seemed to have caught something from her eyes and abruptly approached with rapid steps. She pushed open Song Sisi’s room door and saw that Song Sisi had actually placed Ji Nuan’s laptop on her table. However, the two sisters did not manage to figure out Ji Nuan’s laptop password and had even spilled a cup of water onto the keyboard. The screen had darkened and the keyboard was wet. Ji Nuan’s temple immediately began to twitch.
“Cousin…” Song Keke saw that Ji Nuan’s expression was poor and remained standing by the door side. She did not dare to say more.
Song Sisi frantically backed away from the laptop. She turned to see that Ji Nuan was approaching expressionlessly, and rushed to say: “Cousin, I was just curious. I’ve only seen such an expensive laptop featured in advertisements. However, I didn’t unlock it. We didn’t see your work documents. But this water… I really didn’t spill it intentionally. The blame is all on Keke. She insisted on snatching it from me, and we accidentally…”
Ji Nuan pursed her lips, picked up the laptop, and turned to leave.
When they saw that Ji Nuan had left, the two sisters had shared disappointed glances. Song Sisi even muttered softly: “Tsk, acting so high and mighty.”
Ji Nuan had already locked the connecting doors. To return to her mother’s room, she needed to step outside. Her aunt was still busy when she turned to see that Ji Nuan was holding the laptop in her hands. She understood immediately but did not apologize for her daughters’ actions. She even spoke unhappily: “Aiya, we’ve never been able to buy a computer. Sisi and Keke were just curious, so they took it to have fun. I heard that you even set up a password so they couldn’t use it. Haven’t you already retrieved it? Is there a need to put on such an ugly expression?”
Ji Nuan stepped past her expressionlessly, appearing as though she did not hear anything. After returning to the room, she scanned her mother’s items arranged neatly in her luggage.
It could be said that she had seen her grandmother for the last time. Her grandmother had abruptly felt unwell, and she had personally sent her to the hospital. She even took care of her for the entire night without sleeping or eating. She had fulfilled her duties to this family.
She could leave now.
