Jiang Yue woke up seemingly feeling refreshed.
But that was just another lie.
She was still feeling terrible about what she had done. However, she also felt as if she was able to open a new door in her soul.
Or that's how she would describe it.
However, Jiang Yue's mind was too busy to just linger around what had happened.
She just decided to try to forget about it. She knew that it would be hard with her photographic memory, but she will treat or at least try to treat it as something insignificant.
After freshening up, she and Zhao Feiyan immediately went to the hospital to see her family.
The first person who she spotted when she entered Wang Minghua's room was her grandfather and before she even realized it, she was already hugging him tightly. Tears dripping from her cheeks on his dark blue polo shirt.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Her grandfather asked. "Everything is fine now. You are safe as well as Minghua."
Then another person enveloped the two of them into a big hug.
That was her uncle.
"The most important thing is that you and Minghua are safe." She heard Wang Huo say.
Jiang Yue wiped away her tears and looked at her family.
Minghua was currently sleeping on his bed.
Only her uncle and grandfather was in the room. Probably talking about what happened.
"I'm sorry."She said before she lowered her head. Embarrassment was apparent on her face.
"Stop apologizing little Yue, it wasn't your fault." Wang Huo gave her a gentle smile. "As I said before, the most important thing is that you are safe. As well as Minghua."
"It was my fault. I was too full of myself, my plans. I... and I panicked. I was not able to think straight when she... when Wu Ziliang aimed her gun at me." She said.
"Stop blaming yourself. Take this as an experience. Learn from it. Do you understand?" Wang Guiren asked while giving her a pat on the head.
A gentle pat.
Jiang Yue smiled at them in response. She will not forget this experience for sure. She will learn from it, And grow.
She will grow and become stronger.
"Speaking of which, where is she?" She heard Wang Huo's voice, this time it was not the gentle voice that he would use in their conversation. It was different. Sinister.
"I... I already took care of it." Jiang Yue answered hesitantly. Should she tell them the truth about what she had done?
Would they think that she was a monster now?
Then Zhao Feiyan's words echoed at the back of her mind.
'will always stand beside you'
'will be there for you'
'family'
That's right. They are family. Always. And she knew deep in her heart that these people would always stand beside her.
Noticing Jiang Yue's twisted expression, Wang Guiren's and Wang Huo's faces instantly changed into something incomprehensible.
They wanted to asked what had she done to the person who hurt her grandfather and Wang Minghua but... but they were also afraid to find out about it.
Jiang Yue was a woman. And women in their family were...
The duo stared at her as if they just discovered a very big secret.
They glanced at each other as they silently agreed not to ask any more questions.
"Well... since you had already took care of it, then... let's not talk about it anymore." Old Man Wang said still smiling, but there was something different in his eyes.
Something mysterious.
Of course, Jiang Yue was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she failed to notice that.
However, this did not go unnoticed by Zhao Feiyan who was silently standing at the doorway, looking at the family's interaction.
She instantly pretended not to see such reaction as her mind started to wander.
What secrets were they keeping from Jiang Yue?
Was it big enough for them to avoid talking about what Jiang Yue did to Wu Ziliang?
Were they afraid of something? Or were they avoiding to open a can of worms?
If so...
What could it be?
However, Zhao Feiyan's thoughts were interrupted when the doctor, that was in charge of Wang Minghua, came to examine him.
"He is actually doing great. I would suggest that you transfer him in five days. By then his wound will start healing and I can assure that there were no further infections from the bullet wound." The doctor explained.
"Also, we are very lucky that Young Master Wang is healthy and fit. That will make his recovery easier. In my opinion, it will be less than a month."
Jiang Yue was just staring at Wang Minghua while the doctor was talking. She was planning to take over the Wu Family after she got back from the summit, then let her cousin manage it. But now it seemed that she had to wait for at least a month.
By that time, her game will also launch into the market.
There were lots of things to do.
After the doctor left, Jiang Yue decided to get some fresh air and buy canned juice at the same time.
She walked to the vending machine at the hospital and chose one of available juices .
However, before she could pick up her drink, another person abruptly reached to it first. And to her surprise, the person instantly opened the drink and gulped all at once .
"Ah… so refreshing. Thanks, Miss Jiang. I never thought that I will see you so soon." The man said while giving her a friendly smile.
