Chapter 596 - This Time, My Maternal Grandparents Have Stood Up for Us (2/2)

Leng Shuangwei did not regain consciousness on the second day. The incident between Miao Zheng and Zhong Yi of the Bingyang Group had now been blown up publicly. The pictures and videos of Miao Zheng abusing Zhong Yi in public were all over the internet and had ignited an uproar from the netizens.

Miao Zheng was swiftly taken in for investigation by the police. This caused the Bingyang Group’s stock prices to plummet like a rock. The Bingyang Group immediately held a stockholder’s meeting, making the decision to dismiss Miao Zheng as the CEO and remove him from the board of directors.

Grandma Nian stayed in hospital for three days. Although she did not sustain severe injuries, she was 80 years old. Any slight knock she suffered could have unimaginable consequences. To be on the safe side, the Nian family requested that she stay in hospital for observation for a few days.

On the day that she was discharged, Nian Junting was helping to pack her things when she sat up and said, “I hope Leng Shuangwei comes around soon. This child, it must have been delayed by her mother.”

“It should not be long.” Nian Junting put her clothes into a bag. “Oh yes, Grandma, that night when Shuangwei visited the washroom, did she have something to tell you, or was it purely a coincidence?”

Grandma Nian chuckled. “She was asking me about my atherosclerotic disease. We talked for a bit. It must have been deliberate. After all, your father was there where I was seated. She must have felt awkward coming over directly to me, so she decided to talk to me secretly. After all, I watched her grow up. She must have felt it inappropriate not to speak to me at all.”

Nian Junting nodded.

“It’s a pity that this has happened.” Grandma Nian shook her head. “Actually, she would not have sustained such serious injuries if she had not continued wrestling with the attacker, unlike your Second Aunt, who ran away so quickly. I understand, nonetheless. Who isn’t afraid to die? I’m already so old, why should I burden all you young people, anyway?”

“I think you’ll live up to a hundred at the very least,” Nian Junting mused.

Grandma Nian chuckled. “Although you won’t be able to marry Shuangwei, you must not forget your grat.i.tude to Grandma as a life-saver.”
