Elder Shi was alright, as he wasn’t usually a man of many words.
But Old Lady Shi was a force to be reckoned with, spouting off the moment he woke up, "I told you, staying away from home for months, with both security and guards at home, no bad guys could get in. And look now, you always boast about how safe Shi Wuzhou is, yet if Yun Du hadn’t found you early, you could have bled to death!"
Hearing this, Shi Lingyan felt a headache coming on, "Grandma..."
"I can’t eat any more..."
"You have to eat even if you’re full, it’s good for your health. Just a few more spoonfuls. It’s all broth; it’ll just pass through."
Yun Du quickly stepped in, "Grandma, Brother Shi just woke up. His stomach is empty. You have to give him some time to adjust..."
Old Lady Shi glared at him, "I’ve eaten more salt than the roads you’ve walked on. These few bites aren’t going to kill him."
Shi Lingyan fell silent.
It wouldn’t kill him.
But the overwhelming taste of angelica was frankly too stimulating.
Old Lady Shi knew him well and forcefully made Shi Lingyan drink the remaining few sips.
Only then did Old Lady Shi let it go, while Elder Shi sat by, watching his precious grandson sympathetically; he seemed like a perfect transparent old man throughout.
Old Lady Shi wasn’t ready to leave after feeding him the soup. She sat down and started nagging, "You’re almost thirty now. Your grandparents won’t be around much longer. You need to visit home more often and aim to add a member to the Shi Family soon. If you don’t like Shi Mei, don’t lead her on. I think Senior Sister is a good choice. If you don’t like Senior Sister, I still have a few suitable candidates."
"Hah? Worried they’ll mind that it’s a second marriage? Are you sure? Look at what you have to offer. Not just a second marriage, even if it were your third, fourth, fifth, or sixth, there would still be plenty of girls throwing themselves at you! Not to mention your looks and family background, your experiences are also appealing. Being both a soldier and a philanthropist. Yesterday, Grandma Ou was still asking about you..."
Shi Lingyan felt his head buzz with all the talk until Elder Shi finally managed to convince his wife that their son needed to rest, and they finally dragged her away.
Finally sending off the elderlies, Yun Du looked sympathetically at Shi Lingyan, saying, "Being the precious sole grandson isn’t easy."
The Shi Family was indeed pinning all their hopes on him, making Old Lady Shi very anxious.
Shi Lingyan had a stable relationship with Tang Wu, but less than two years after Tang Wu’s incident, Old Lady Shi couldn’t restrain her desire for a great-grandchild any longer.
Shi Lingyan, feeling helpless, glanced towards Yun Du, "Let’s set up a meeting with Lawyer Wu in a couple of days."
Yun Du paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure you want a divorce?"
"Yes," Shi Lingyan was certain, "When you went to Shi Wuzhou, did you only see me?"
"Yes, the picture I received scared me to death," Yun Du still felt shaken, "There was so much blood, and you were lying on the ground unconscious. The doctor said if it had been any later, you might have bled out and ended up in a vegetative state!"
Yun Du said and suddenly remembered something, asking, "It wasn’t Senior Sister again, was it?"
Shi Lingyan remained silent.
Yun Du, frustrated and disappointed, scolded, "She managed to sneak in quietly last time, and I told you to change your password but you didn’t listen. This is the second time! What kind of aphrodisiac has that woman given you?"
"Enough," Shi Lingyan’s face darkened, "Get out."
Yun Du got angry too, "If you keep being so delusional, you’ll end up dead!"
"It won’t happen," Shi Lingyan said in a low, firm voice, "If she wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago."
She wouldn’t bear to.
