Chapter 10 - DESIRES (1/2)
”Uncle I found the woman I wanted to marry. When he said that, all eyes were on Yun Jian.
”Really? How many times did you say that to me.” Yun Jinghan winked at him. Not taking what his nephew said seriously.
”Yeah.”
”Tell me about her. Is she pretty?” Grandma prodded.
Remembering the doctor earlier, he blushed and said, ”She is.”
Yun Yi's forehead puckered at her son's gibberish words. ”Don't listen to him. He just got shot and he still has time to joke around.”
”I'm not joking mom.”
Unable to restrain herself, she knocked on her son's head. ”You are barely an adult and you are talking about marriage. Young man, don't forget we haven't discussed why were you in Shanghai in the first place.”
Grandma Shen pushed aside Yun Yi's hand and clacked, ”Do not do that. You are injuring him more. Why are you so pent-up?”
Because she was already used to her grandmother's habits, Yun Yi shook her head and told the old woman, ”That's why he never learns. You spoil him too much grandma.”
Yun Yi turned to her brother's direction. ”Jinghan send him to Moscow. He needs to learn.”
Yun Jian knew that if his mother decides on something, it will never change. Thus he turned to the only person who can support him.
”I don't want to go there, grandma. Please. I only want to stay with you.” He begged her because he knew was his only ally.
The tears made Grandma Shen turn to Yun Yi and scolded her harshly, ”What kind of mother are you? He just got shot and you want to send him there. Do you want him to die?”
”Don't treat him like a baby grandma. For god's sake, he is 17 years old.”
”He is my only great-grandson. Why should I not spoil him?”
Hearing the same reasoning for the umpteenth time, Yun Yi rolled her eyes.
”Jinghan, go find a wife and make babies. My son has to be treated like an adult.”
'Why are you turning against me, sis?' Jinghan glared at his sister. Once the word wife will be mentioned, grandma Shen will pester him to death.
”Oh yeah, I remember. Give me your phone and I will call Song Huan” Grandma Shen requested to Yun Yi when she remembered something.
Damn! Yun Jinghan cursed inside his head.
….
Because the couple had to leave for France the next day, it was decided that Yun Jian will be moved to Newlife University and Medical Center in the capital so grandma can look after him.
Dr. Zhao tried his best to convince the family but Chairman Shen was resolute. No amount of prodding could change their decision.
”Can I speak to the doctor who saved my grandson?”
”I am sorry. Dr. Luo is at the OR at the moment. But if you could wait for an hour, perhaps you can meet her.”
”I'll take care of it, grandma. Anyway, I needed to stay to talk to the police. You need to fly before the weather gets worse.”
