Yu Minmin looked at Yang Lingxin, “Alright, they are husband and wife. Of course, their relations.h.i.+p is good. All those stories you heard about Gu Jingze outside are not fake. Don’t be blinded by President Gu’s outer appearance.”

Yang Lingxin heard this and looked at Gu Jingze. She nodded furiously.

Yu Minmin said, “This brat Lin Che is also lucky. She’s so dumb, she can’t cook, and she doesn’t know how to do anything. She is lucky that they have everything at home and she doesn’t have to lift a finger.”

Granny soon woke up.

Lin Che kept watching her by her side and smiled at Granny, “Granny, how are you feeling?”

“Very good, everything is fine. I had a long dream…” she said.

Lin Che chuckled, “Oh right, Granny. Since you’re already in B district and you’re getting on in years, I think you should stay. I’ll take care of you from now on, okay?”

Granny heard this and quickly said, “No no, Little Che…”

Lin Che was a little surprised that Granny rejected her without hesitation.

“Why? Granny, is it not nice here?”

“No, it’s just, Little Che, this place is great. I really think that our mountain ditch is not suitable. No wonder your mother didn’t want to come back after she left. This place is really too wonderful. They have everything here but I am old and I’ve lived there for my whole life. The leaves will return to their roots and I don’t have many years left. I think I should still go back.”

Lin Che listened and her eyes teared, “But Granny, you’re alone there…”

“Not really. It’s a small village but I have good neighbors and they are all like family. They take good care of me. How can I be alone? I have you now too. It may be far away but when I miss you, I can still call you. When I miss you, I can still visit you, right?”

Lin Che looked at Granny’s haggard face and really didn’t want her to leave like that.

Outside, Gu Jingze went to make some arrangements and then returned to the hospital.

Along the corridor, a happy girl’s voice chirped up at the side, “President Gu, you’re back.”

He turned around to see Yang Lingxin standing there.

When he faced her, his expression was cold with no hint of warmth at all. He only looked at her and asked curtly, “Where is everyone?”

Yang Lingxin replied, “Sister Che is in the ward with Granny and Sister Yu went back to the office to tend to an urgent matter. Oh right, President Gu.” Yang Lingxin took out a bright bento box from behind her, “I thought that President Gu must not have eaten anything yet. I went home just now and made some food. Do you want to try some, President Gu?”

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes, his gaze s.h.i.+fting all over her face.

Yang Lingxin looked up and smiled with antic.i.p.ation in her eyes.

After a while, Gu Jingze said, “No, I already ate.”

He then headed straight to the ward without taking another look at her.

Yang Lingxin was still holding up the bento box. Her expression stiffened as she stood there with disappointment filling her face.

When she heard from Yu Minmin that Lin Che didn’t know how to cook, she was full of hope. She ran back home and cooked a pretty box of bento. But little did she expect Gu Jingze to reject it.

Looking towards the ward, she bit her lower lip bitterly.

Lin Che came out from the ward and looked at Gu Jingze, “Granny said that she doesn’t want to stay. She only wants to return to her roots. What can we do…”

Lin Che was sad. Her eyes glimmered as she looked at Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze said, “Granny’s opinion is understandable. She spent her whole life there, so I guess she doesn’t want too many changes in her last years. If she was younger, she would have adapted better. But for an old person, adapting to a new place is actually very hard.”

“But I can’t bear for Granny to be there. What if something happens…” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze gently fiddled with her hair and looked at her. This fellow may be very silly at times but she was also a kindhearted lady. Her thoughts were delicate. “Alright, I’ll get people to watch over Granny there and help her out. Even if she at least goes back, she’ll never have the same old lonely days anymore. Don’t worry too much.”

Lin Che hadn’t thought of it this way. After hearing Gu Jingze say this, she said, “You’re right! That can work.”

However, she still raised her head, “But won’t that be too troublesome?”

She was troubling him yet again. This made her really embarra.s.sed.

“It’s no trouble. Didn’t I say that your Granny is my Granny?”

“But…”

“Say ‘but’ one more time and I’m going to be angry,” Gu Jingze warned with narrowed eyes.

“Fine fine fine. I won’t say it,” she looked at Gu Jingze with a warmed heart. “Thank you, Gu Jingze.”

“If you’re really thankful, then be more honest. Wisen up and don’t always be so dumb.”

“Get lost. Your IQ is too high. We are normal people and in our view, you are the perverted one.”

However, although Granny didn’t want to stay, she could still tour around for the time being.

It wasn’t easy for her to come here this once, so she should stay here for a few days to rest and enjoy.

Furthermore, she should also take a good rest after the operation.

Thus, the nearby house that Gu Jingze prepared still came in handy.

Because it was a minimally invasive operation, she didn’t stay long in the hospital. Gu Jingze sent his men to bring Granny to the villa.

On the way, Granny sat in the car with Lin Che sitting beside her. In the front was Yang Lingxin who volunteered to come help. The three of them headed towards the villa.

It was Yang Lingxin’s first time sitting in such an expensive car. She touched the leather and said, “Sister Che, is this car super famous?”

Lin Che watched her innocent demeanor and was reminded of herself in the past.

However, Lin Che was not knowledgeable about this either and she wasn’t so sure about cars. She recognized the Porsche logo but the price range of a Porsche was so great that she couldn’t tell which was expensive or cheap.

Lin Che said, “I don’t know either. I think it’s quite expensive.”

Yang Lingxin smiled adorably, “Following Sister Che allowed me to see so many things for the first time.”

“That’s because you just entered society. But brand or no brand, it’s all for others to see. It’s most important to work hard yourself and be happy,” Lin Che really liked Yang Lingxin, so she spoke to her seriously instead of making a joke.

Yang Lingxin listened and nodded furiously. She looked especially obedient.

They were soon in front of the villa.

When they got out of the car, Granny looked at the exterior and asked, “Oh my, whose yard is this? It’s so well-kept.”

Lin Che smiled and brought the two of them in to take a look.

Granny sighed in amazement, “This is too big! How am I going to stay here?”

Lin Che said, “This place is closer to where I live. Gu Jingze sent some people to take care of your daily needs. There’ll be a doctor here these few days too, so you can relax and stay here.”

Lin Che went out to arrange for people to keep watch. Granny asked Yang Lingxin, “Little Che married Jingze. Is he exceptionally good?”
