“All the Shi family men are blind!” Miss Hong resentfully commented. “Cherishing a piece of trash like that like she’s a gem, hmph! They’ll cry in regret about it soon enough! I’ll ruin everyone who’s on good terms with Xiang Yang, hmph!”
Lan Long warned her seriously, “You can torture Xiang Yang however you want, I don’t care, but there’s one thing you should remember! Her life is mine! No one is allowed to take her life, including you and your brother!”
“Oh, and one more thing! Don’t draw the Shi family’s ire trying to get at Xiang Yang. I’m not afraid of them, but now’s not the time to make enemies of them. Don’t mess up our plans!”
Miss Hong fell silent. Mr. Lou quickly mediated: “Don’t worry, Young Master. Miss Hong knows what to do.”
Yun Nan gently covered Chen Yao with a thin blanket. Chen Yao opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Yun Nan. She’d caught a bad cold a few days ago, and Yun Nan had watched over her diligently until she recovered.
Losing her daughter was an unhealable pain Chen Yao would bear for the rest of her days. Even though she’d found Yun Nan, and Yun Nan’s thoughtfulness made up for the loss and regret in her heart, it wasn’t until after falling sick this time and getting cared for meticulously by Yun Nun that Chen Yao’s perpetual wound finally scab over.
Seeing that she had woken up, Yun Nan leaned over and touched her forehead to check her temperature. Yun Nan only felt relieved when she had ascertained that Chen Yao wasn’t sweating or had a fever. She said softly, “Sorry, did I wake you up, Grandma? Would you like some more sleep, or get up and have something to eat?”
Chen Yao got out of bed with Yun Nan’s help and answered, “I’ve slept for quite a while. I should get up and move around. Don’t worry, I’m all recovered.”
Yun Nan hurriedly put a coat over her before saying, “Let’s have something that’s easy to digest. I’ll go make some noodles.”
Chen Yao chuckled and nodded. “Sure. By the way, weren’t you accompanying Madam Xi at Xi Corporation? Why are you back so soon?”
As the two of them chatted, they entered the kitchen. Yun Nan had personally prepared Chen Yao’s meals the past few days when she was sick, so the servants were used to seeing her in the kitchen. Chen Yao hadn’t had much appetite due to her illness, so Yun Nan had made a variety of dishes for her, making her develop picky taste buds as a result.
Yun Nan told Chen Yao what had happened at the Xi Corporation as she prepared their food. “The matter was resolved very quickly.”
Chen Yao nodded after listening to her recount. “Madam Xi made the right decision. That is the best solution at the moment. I just don’t know if her son understands her good intentions.”
