Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Almost Swallowed Alive (Part 3)
"It’s you." The elderly Mrs. Gu wondered inwardly.
"Is your health better?" Lu Wanwan walked to the bedside, "I originally wanted to bring Youyou and Momo to see you, but they haven’t woken up yet, so I came on my own first."
The elderly Mrs. Gu stared at her, waiting for Aunt Wang to deliver breakfast to her side.
After a moment, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Coming so early, being so gracious. Do you think because of the children, I won’t say anything?"
"I don’t." Lu Wanwan didn’t expect the elderly Mrs. Gu to change her view suddenly, "I just know you’ll be happy to see them."
"You want to please me and get the Gu Family’s approval, right?" The elderly Mrs. Gu sat up, speaking slowly, "I’ve seen many like this. I’ve been muddled before; do you think I’ll still be so muddled? You just believe gaining my favor would be beneficial."
"Madam, the reason I came, to be honest, is because of Gu Annan. You are his grandmother, and what I can do is hope you accept me so he won’t be in a difficult position."
The elderly Mrs. Gu received the porridge from Aunt Wang, her movements slow and her expression somewhat aloof, "He’s not in a difficult position. I know what my grandson’s temperament is like; since he said you two didn’t divorce, there’s no room for negotiation. What’s difficult about that? I’m old now, and youngsters like you make your own decisions without needing my opinion. You should go back."
Lu Wanwan hadn’t spoken when Aunt Wang signaled her, "Have some food first, don’t get upset."
"I’m not upset, I’m just disheartened." The elderly Mrs. Gu no longer looked towards Lu Wanwan beside her, speaking only to Aunt Wang deliberately, "This porridge is quite nice."
"Miss Lu personally brought it herself," Aunt Wang said with a smile.
The elderly Mrs. Gu paused, words frozen there.
"I think it was also Miss Lu who got up early to personally make it," Aunt Wang continued, "You should eat it while it’s hot."
"Too talkative," the elderly Mrs. Gu chided lightly.
She looked towards Lu Wanwan reluctantly, "The porridge is good, that’s the truth. But my granddaughter-in-law can’t just know how to make porridge; the key is to be devoted to my grandson. Aunt Wang, don’t you think my request isn’t high? Yet, even such a small request seems difficult."
Aunt Wang saw her brooding, felt lost on what to say, so she just smiled.
She didn’t really know what was going on, and dared not say much herself.
"The past was really just a misunderstanding. I’ve never had a chance to explain it to you." Lu Wanwan felt a bit helpless, "I was a journalist, not everything the media publishes is the truth. There’s really never been anything between Bai Lingyun and me."
"Of course you wouldn’t admit it now. Last night, Lingyun came over with a fever to explain things to me," the elderly woman waved her hand, "To say whether I believe it, I don’t really believe it much. If there was nothing between you, would he speak on your behalf so passionately? I’ve never seen him speak for anyone else like that."
"Grandmother." A slow voice came from the doorway, "I said so much yesterday, did you not believe a single word?"
Bai Lingyun was still wearing a patient’s gown, his hands in his pockets, standing at the door.
"Bai Lingyun, don’t run around, the nurse said she needs to take your temperature."
He pressed his temples in frustration, pulling in Mu Xing who had walked in, "Grandmother, saying that is really too much. How am I supposed to explain things to my girlfriend?"
