For an entire week, besides going to the company, Song Qiao was repeatedly visiting the hospital.
On Monday, Song Qiao didn’t go to work at the company but took the day off to visit her grandfather in the hospital. Follow current novels on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Lu Jingchen didn’t say much, but instead drove her to the hospital entrance, mentioning that he would also come to see her grandfather during his lunch break and they could have lunch together.
Song Qiao didn’t refuse, as their relationship had somewhat recovered over time, but she was very clear that there was still a barrier between them.
Thanks to Lu Jingchen’s influence, Elder Mu, who was originally in a standard ward, had been transferred to a deluxe ward, and a caretaker was also hired.
But just as she approached the ward door, Song Qiao heard joyful laughter from inside. Driven by curiosity, she opened the door and saw Mu Shinian and a boy who looked quite unfamiliar, sitting on the sofa, laughing heartily at something, Elder Mu’s cheerful laughter included.
Zhang Ma had just come out of the restroom with washed fruits and seeing Song Qiao at the door, her face immediately broke into a smile as she greeted, "Miss, you’re here."
Zhang Ma’s voice also alerted Mu Shinian and the boy inside, who then turned to look towards Song Qiao at the door.
Upon seeing Song Qiao, Mu Shinian immediately stood up, a radiant smile on her face, and said, "Sis, you’ve arrived."
Song Qiao looked at the boy in the ward, who appeared to be about the same age as Mu Shinian, rather familiar-looking, and even bore some resemblance to Lu Jingchen, which piqued her curiosity.
Snapping back to reality after hearing Mu Shinian’s words, she looked at her cousin and said, "Shinian, how come you are here? Don’t you have classes today, Monday?"
Mu Shinian took the fruits that Song Qiao had brought, explaining, "The school gave us a day off today, sis, have you forgotten? I told you about it yesterday."
Only then did Song Qiao remember the call from Mu Shinian the evening before. But at that time, it was late, and she had just been "tormented" by Lu Jingchen, so naturally, she had not remembered it very well.
Hearing Mu Shinian’s reminder, Song Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed.
Walking straight into the ward, Elder Mu, propped up in his hospital bed, looked at Song Qiao and said, "Xiao Qiao, haven’t I told you? Your job is important. I’m not having any serious issues, so you don’t need the trouble of running to the hospital to care for me."
Song Qiao went in and, smiling, she replied to her grandfather, "Grandpa, are you getting tired of me?"
"How could I ever be tired of you? It’s just that running around , the one who gets tired is you."
Mu Shinian took two bunches of grapes out of the fruits Song Qiao had bought, heading directly into the restroom to wash them.
This was Lu Yulin’s first encounter with Song Qiao. Even though he had often heard his cousin Shinian mention her, he had only ever heard of her. But upon seeing Song Qiao’s appearance, the word ’beautiful’ immediately came to his mind.
Hearing her grandfather’s words, Song Qiao smiled and turned her gaze towards the boy who was standing up, not sure where to put his hands and feet.
As Lu Yulin noticed Song Qiao’s gaze on him, he smiled awkwardly and introduced himself, "Hello, Shinian’s cousin. My name is Lu Yulin."
