Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Wencheng came out of the bathroom and saw Meng Nianyao staring blankly at him. He smiled.” Good morning, Mrs. Gu.”
“Good morning, Mr. Gu.” Meng Nianyao came back to her senses and waved at him.
After a simple wash, Meng Nianyao went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She set aside a portion for her and Gu Wencheng’s breakfast and took the rest to the hospital for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu looked better today than yesterday. She thought that because of Lin Ping, Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng’s relationship would be estranged. She didn’t expect that their relationship would be better. She was happy to see Meng Nianyao’s porridge was crystal clear and tasted good. She smiled and praised, “This is the first time I’ve eaten Nianyao’s cooking. It’s very fragrant and delicious.”
“Grandma likes it, so 1’11 make it for you often.” Meng Nianyao said as she handed him a tissue. Grandma Gu wasn’t the only one who had breakfast. Grandpa Gu also had breakfast. Considering Grandpa Gu’s health, Meng Nianyao made multi-grain pancakes and some light dishes. The food was all packed in thermos boxes. The temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold. “Young Madam,” Auntie Yang said to Grandma Gu, “you’re one of the few young people I’ve seen who is patient.”
Grandma Gu nodded. “Nianyao has a good personality. She’s a good girl.”
Auntie Yang smiled. “That’s right. Old Madam, you love young ladies just like Miss Yin the most. She’s already grown up, but she’s still acting coquettishly with you.”
Grandma Gu shook her head. “Qiqi is a good child. It’s just that Wencheng doesn’t like her and doesn’t have those kinds of feelings for her.” Before she could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Meng Nianyao went to open the door. Yin Qiqi, her mother, and Lin Ping walked in.
Yin Qiqi ignored Meng Nianyao and ran into the room. “I’m sorry. 1 didn’t know you were sick and only came over now…”
Grandma Gu lay on the hospital bed and looked at Yin Qiqi, whose eyes were red, looking like she was about to cry again. She quickly comforted her. “Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m fine, aren’t I?”
Outside, Yin Qiqi’s mother sized up Meng Nianyao without batting an eyelid. “Who is this?” she asked.
Lin Ping was taking off her coat when she heard this. She didn’t want outsiders to know Meng Nianyao’s identity, but Grandpa Gu was here, and the two elders obviously liked Meng Nianyao, so she didn’t dare to express her opinion.
“Hello, my name is Meng Nianyao,” Meng Nianyao said. She only introduced herself by name and did not reveal her identity.
Mother Yin wanted to ask further, but she felt that it was impolite, so she could only give up.
Lin Ping heaved a sigh of relief. She hung up her coat and walked into the inner room. Seeing that Grandma Gu had already started eating, she said, “Mom, you’re sick now. Don’t eat outside food. 1 made breakfast for you. You should eat this.”
“Hmph!” Grandma Gu snorted. “I’d be starving if 1 waited for you to bring me breakfast.”
Lin Ping pursed her lips. All these years, she and Gu Guanping had indeed not fulfilled their responsibilities, whether to their parents or their son.
Meng Nianyao saw that she wasn’t needed here, and she felt awkward standing there, so she wanted to leave first, but Grandpa Gu glanced at Lin Ping, who had just come out from the inner room. He suddenly said, “Nianyao, your grandmother likes the porridge you made. The multi-grain pancakes I ate were not bad either. When you have time, you can go home and teach Aunty Yang how to make them.”
Meng Nianyao was flattered and quickly nodded. “I understand, Grandpa.”
Lin Ping didn’t expect Meng Nianyao to be the one who had made the food for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. Her expression turned ugly.
“Miss Meng, good move.” Lin Ping suddenly said this when she passed by Meng Nianyao.
Meng Nianyao paused for a moment, then smiled politely at Lin Ping. Last night, Gu Wencheng told her that she didn’t need to suffer, so she didn’t need to please Lin Ping. She just needed to do what she should do and let nature take its course.
There were many people in the ward today and it was noisy. Aunt Yang happened to say that Grandma Gu’s daily necessities were gone and she wanted to go out to buy some. Meng Nianyao took the initiative to take her in. “Aunt Yang, I’m leaving.”
Aunt Yang initially wanted to say no, but when she saw the people around her, she realized that Meng Nianyao wanted to avoid her. She nodded with a smile and told her what Grandma Gu lacked.
It had started snowing outside, and Meng Nianyao tightened her collar after coming out.
“Meng Nianyao.”
Suddenly, someone called her name from behind. Meng Nianyao turned around and saw Yin Qiqi walking out of nowhere..
