"Was it her who saved me?" Shi Lingyan’s voice was light, yet it couldn’t hide his shock.
Shi Lingyan felt his mind was a bit chaotic and recalled with a frown, "Didn’t I leave her at the rest stop?"
Grandpa Shi sighed softly, "She followed you."
Shi Lingyan blinked, "She caught up?"
"She probably thought you abandoned her, chased your car for a long time, and then was taken away by two people," Grandpa Shi said succinctly, sighing again.
"Taken away?" Shi Lingyan didn’t know about these things.
Hearing Grandpa Shi say that, his mind went blank.
"Enough," Grandma Shi said discontentedly, "Ling Yan has just woken up, why are you telling him this now? Anyway, Shi Mei has left and is unlikely to come back. We gave her such a good life. This time she saved Ling Yan, and we didn’t shortchange her in alimony, so we’re even."
Grandpa Shi was a little displeased, "How can you say that? If it weren’t for Shi Mei’s timely awareness, Shi Mei would have been killed. Those two men were no good, it was fortunate they were dealt with."
Shi Lingyan’s headache intensified, he asked, "So, where is she now?"
"She’s gone," Grandma Shi said with a face full of dissatisfaction. "Ingrate, taking the money you gave her and throwing it into the bottomless pit of the Shi family. That family is full of fraud and debt evasion, leaving all their phone calls to our house—it’s just a family of deadbeats. It’s good that we divorced them in time; I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They disgust me."
Grandpa Shi felt somewhat helpless, "You know she’s not like them..."
"No matter how different, she grew up in the same nest. How good can she be?" Grandma Shi became angrier as she spoke. "The earlier Shi Mei was better. Now that she’s returned to normal, her brain isn’t working right. I heard she’s giving them money again; she’s nearly cleared their debts. Yet they go around boasting that they’re related to our family because Shi Mei saved Ling Yan’s life. The only reason they managed to pay off their debts is because their daughter married a good husband. It’s infuriating!" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noᴠelfire.net
Grandma Shi seemed genuinely angry and unable to contain it, even glaring at Grandpa Shi, "It’s all your fault!"
Grandpa Shi looked completely innocent, unable to hold back a laugh, "What does this have to do with me?"
Grandma Shi couldn’t say, sulking alone.
Shi Lingyan felt overwhelmed.
He sorted through Grandma’s words; it seemed like Shi Mei had reverted to her old ways after recovering?
But Shi Lingyan faintly felt it wouldn’t be that simple.
Not to mention anything else, just by the strength of Shi Mei’s voice, almost indistinguishable from Senior Sister’s, he felt that Shi Mei shouldn’t be a pushover.
He wanted to see her.
After seeing her, everything should have an answer.
Shi Lingyan looked at his irate grandmother and spoke softly, "Could you contact her for me, Grandma? I want to see her."
"No way!" Grandma Shi stood up. "She’s an ingrate! We must make a clear distinction with her. I have barely freed myself from them after being disgusted for so long; you want to drag them back into my life? No way!"
Grandpa Shi couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Shi Mei is Shi Mei, and the Shi family is the Shi family..."
"How can that be? Go say to others, ’Shi Lingyan is Shi Lingyan, the Shi family is the Shi family,’ see who will listen to you?" Grandma Shi folded her arms. "Besides, she’s clear-headed now; don’t forget, she had a boyfriend before too, hmph!"
