Chapter 62: Lin Weiwei’s Grandmother

Liu Qianmin was actually related to Liu Wanli? Shen Xiaoxiao did not know this, but Second Master Xin knew this person. He was also an extremely strange person. She would mention it later.

“Yes, no one would have thought that he was related to that hypocrite Liu Wanli. They are indeed a nest of snakes and rats, but they have no way of getting the 20% of Second Master Xin’s shares.

“After the Shen family’s incident, Second Master Xin came to me several times to ask me to sell the shares in my hands. He wanted me to take a stable sum of money and leave. I did not agree to it. I did not expect that Second Master Xin would even take notice of me.”

“We have interacted a little over the years. He has always been a person who values friends.h.i.+p. He has a very deep friends.h.i.+p with your grandfather. He will not help Liu Qianmin and the others to do evil. You can rest a.s.sured about that.”

“Yes, I know. I remember seeing him when I was young. He had a long white beard. Did I often pull it when I was young?”

“Yes, yes, it’s him. His memory is really good. If we want to take back the power of the Shen family, we’ll have to rely on Second Master Xin to help us.”

“Yes, I understand. Third Uncle, when I’m old enough, I’ll immediately take over all the shares left by Grandfather. Otherwise, there’ll be more trouble. Let’s go after the New Year.”

“Yes, Xiaoxiao’s birthday is on the first day of the New Year. We really have to go after the New Year.”

Shen Xiaoxiao remembered that when she came back from abroad, the shares that should have been hers to inherit were applied to the court by her biological mother to be her sole heir on the grounds that she had been missing for more than seven years and could already be declared dead, Gu Yuehua had inherited the shares that should have been hers to begin with.

Now, she had to get the shares ahead of them.

She held all the information about Lin Weiwei’s grandmother in her hand. “Lin Chen Wenxiu, from the southern suburbs of the capital. She has a serious kidney disease and lacks treatment. Her life is in danger.”

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. It turned out that there were some people in this world who never cared about their conscience or karma. Looking at her Third Uncle who was driving, Shen Xiaoxiao said worriedly, “Third Uncle, is there a car following us?”

Shen Jinwen glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “Yes, that black car is.”

Shen Xiaoxiao put the information back into the drawer and said to Shen Jinwen, “Third Uncle, pull over the car. I’ll drive.”

Shen Jinwen’s hand paused. Xiaoxiao knew how to drive? However, he did not ask about Xiaoxiao’s matters. Instead, he obediently parked the car to the side and switched Shen Xiaoxiao over.

Shen Xiaoxiao read the information carefully. She knew that Lin Weiwei really missed her grandmother. As for being sold by her father and stepmother, that was not within Shen Xiaoxiao’s consideration.

Moreover, the information said that the two people treated the old woman very badly. They even left the old woman in the old house at the foot of the mountain. If it were not for the few villagers who occasionally went to give her some food, the old woman would have left long ago.

The old woman was hanging on by her breath. Every day, she would shout, “Vivi, my Vivi, come back quickly…”

The backseat of Third Uncle’s Cherosky was very s.p.a.cious. He had made preparations early in the morning.

Shen Xiaoxiao’s personality was the same as her driving. She was a little impatient and hot-tempered. Once she started the engine, she immediately drove at full speed.

Even Shen Jinwen was shocked. Seeing the devilish smile on Xiaoxiao’s face, he knew that she was preparing to shake them off.

It was a little cold in the mountains in the early hours of the morning. Now, almost all the roads in the village were open. It was indeed easy to get rid of those people before entering the mountains.

However, Third Uncle could not help but vomit, making Shen Xiaoxiao extremely embarra.s.sed. So, she let Third Uncle stay in the car and walked into the village alone.

It was very easy for Shen Xiaoxiao to find Granny Lin’s small wooden house. The door was slightly open, and the house was dilapidated. No one came here to steal anything.

She pushed open the wooden door and walked in. The creaking sound of the wooden door woke up the old woman on the bed.

“Who is it…”

The voice was very weak and there was no light. Other than the moonlight that leaked out from the broken tiles above her head, nothing else could be seen.

Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. She quickly walked up and looked at the old woman who was struggling to get out of bed. She held onto her with both hands.

Whether it was as Lin Weiwei’s stand-in or as Shen Xiaoxiao herself, seeing such an old woman lying on the bed, dirty and soiled, living in a dilapidated house full of holes, even a hardened person would be soft-hearted when they saw this.

Not to mention, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was soft-hearted from the bottom of her heart, felt very bitter when she saw this scene.

“Grandmother…”

Shen Xiaoxiao cried out these words with great difficulty. Tears flowed down her face. She did not know whether these were Lin Weiwei’s tears or her own tears. The palm on her arm was suddenly tightly clenched.

“Weiwei? Is it my Weiwei? Is Grandmother dreaming, Weiwei…”

“Grandmother…” Shen Xiaoxiao hugged the thin old woman tightly. She could only repeat the word “Grandmother” again and again with great difficulty, regardless of whether her throat was hurting or how tightly her arm was clenched.

The dim incandescent lamp was turned on. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the old and dirty woman in front of her. The fine wrinkles on her face covered the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were bright, like the stars in the night sky,

“Weiwei, I’m happy to see you again. I’m happy to die. My Weiwei, you’ve suffered…”

The old woman touched Shen Xiaoxiao’s face, not asking where Lin Weiwei had gone and what she had experienced all these years.

However, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Lin Weiwei had left the mountain village since she was young. After so many years without any news, the old woman should have guessed that she had been kidnapped.

Now that she could come back, she did not dare to ask for anything other than grat.i.tude from the heavens. She only told her child that she had suffered.

“Grandmother, come with me. I’m here to pick you up…”

Shen Xiaoxiao carefully put her clothes on the old woman. She looked around but found no shoes except for a pair of broken sandals.

Shen Xiaoxiao bent down and carried the old woman on her back. She heard the old woman say, “Go. Grandmother will go with you. Grandmother will stay with Weiwei. When we are together, Grandmother will protect Weiwei. She will protect Weiwei.”

Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Lin Weiwei had been abused by her parents since she was young. It was this grandmother who protected her every time.

When her grandfather was still alive, things were still fine. After her grandfather pa.s.sed away, the old woman did not have a good life. Therefore, Lin Weiwei’s childhood was almost spent in beating and scolding. People said that if she had a stepmother, she would have a stepfather. It was indeed true.

The old woman was very light. At most, she weighed 7 to 80 pounds. She carried the old woman steadily on her back and walked out of the mountain village.

When Third Uncle saw them coming out, he immediately got out of the car. It was snowing heavily outside the house. Even though it was unusually cold, Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart slowly became warm because of the person behind her.

He placed her in the back seat of the car so that the old woman could sleep peacefully. At the same time, he put on the oxygen mask for the old woman.

It would take at least an hour to drive from here to the city. The old woman had been talking about it the whole way. Only at this moment did Shen Xiaoxiao realize that the old woman’s eyes were long gone. No wonder even though she was Shen Xiaoxiao… The old woman didn’t know.

Third Uncle didn’t say anything either. He kept looking out of the car window. They didn’t know what would happen to the old woman if the real Lin Weiwei hadn’t died. At least, they felt very sad.

When they arrived at the city hospital, the old woman had already fallen asleep. Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the old woman’s illness had been delayed for a long time. In addition, she hadn’t been taken good care of for a long time, which was why she was so weak.

A young girl who suddenly appeared in the emergency room carried an old woman whose entire body was sour and filthy. Everyone was a little confused.

It was past two in the morning. A few doctors walked into the emergency room one after another. The lights in the operating room were turned off four hours later.

Grandma Lin’s attending doctor was a middle-aged man in his forties. His surname was Xiao and he looked very amiable. Grandma Lin was sent to the intensive care unit. Shen Xiaoxiao and Third Uncle followed doctor Xiao into the office.

“The old woman has a kidney disease. In addition to her chronic malnutrition, her body is very weak. During the operation last night, we removed a necrotic kidney from the old woman. Her vital signs have also recovered. However, we still have to take good care of her.”

Granny Lin was already 70 years old and her body was recovering very slowly. Fortunately, Shen Xiaoxiao and the others acted quickly and saved her life.

After Shen Xiaoxiao had settled down, she and her Third Uncle dragged their exhausted bodies back to the apartment.

However, this was no longer a place to stay. The Liu family’s spies had already filled this place.

Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said to Shen Jinwen, “Third Uncle, let’s move to another place to live.”

“Move to another place? Where to live?”
