Chapter 202 - 202 Discharged From The Hospital
202 Discharged From The Hospital
“Yes.” He Miao responded shyly, then got up and tidied up the things on the table, asking, “Are you hungry? Should we go out and get something to eat?”
“Sure, what do you want to eat?” Jing Yan accompanied her to put away the photos and other miscellaneous things. He carried a garbage bag in his hand and filled the Onion’s bowl with dog food. Then, he pushed the door open and stood at the door waiting for her.
“We’ll just go for breakfast,” He Miao had taken Li Feng out to eat just now, and she had only taken a few bites. Before she could eat her fill, Jing Yan had called her back, and she happened to be hungry.
“Alright,” he said. Jing Yan took her hand and was about to go downstairs when they bumped into grandma, who lived opposite the house.
The hunched old woman looked back and forth between Jing Yan and He Miao in surprise, then suddenly asked, “Miaomiao, who is this?”
“Grandma, this is my boyfriend, Jing Yan.” He Miao introduced him politely.
The old lady looked at the tall and handsome boy who was even better looking than her grandson, Li Ming, in surprise. She felt sorry for her grandson.
She could see Li Ming’s feelings for He Miao, but it was a pity that the two of them were not meant to be.
“Do you guys want to come over to eat? I just made some porridge.” Even though the old woman knew that He Miao had no chance of being her granddaughter-in-law, she still stepped aside to make way for her enthusiastically, wanting to invite her into the house as a guest.
“No, we have to go out.” He Miao did not dare to disturb the old woman’s rest, so she quickly waved her hand to refuse. After a few polite words, she pulled Jing Yan downstairs.
In the car, Jing Yan took out the yogurt he had prepared in the drawer and put it in her hand. “Drink some to fill your stomach.”
As he turned the steering wheel, he glanced at He Miao out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he said in a strange tone, “That old lady just now seemed to want you to become a family with her.”
“What?” He Miao took a sip of her yogurt and blinked at him in confusion. Suddenly, she understood and said in amusement, “It’s a pity that I’ve already become a family with Grandpa Jing.”
Jing Yan’s anger was finally relieved. He held the steering wheel with one hand and pinched her soft fingers with the other. “Grandpa is going to be discharged soon. We’ll go and pick him up together.”
“Sure, let’s have a good celebration for Grandpa.” He Miao suggested with great interest.
Ever since she came in through the book, only Old Master Jing had doted on her. Now that she was Jing Yan’s girlfriend, she should be filial to him and repay his kindness.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Jing Yan grinned as he handed over the planning of the celebration to He Miao.
It was not that he was slacking off for her sake. He just wanted to spend more time with He Miao and give himself a legitimate reason to see her more often.
In the past, when the two of them were busy, it was common for them not to see each other for a week. He could no longer bear the torment of missing him. He wished he could bring He Miao with him at all times.
“Alright,” she said. He Miao agreed without hesitation. She was almost done with the work on hand, anyway, and the rest of the work was not a waste of time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Old Master Jing was discharged from the hospital. Jing Yan came down early to pick He Miao up. The two of them went back to the Jing family house first before going to the hospital to pack up Old Master Jing’s things.
He Miao carefully took out a small notebook and jotted down every word the doctor said. Then, she and Jing Yan helped Old Master Jing out of the hospital.
The smile on the old man’s face never stopped after they returned to the Jing family house. He was so touched that he held He Miao’s hand and refused to let go when he saw the table full of dishes that were for him.
Butler Li explained to him with a smile, “Miss He and President Jing had been cooking for you since early in the morning.”
This was the first time he had seen Jing Yan in the kitchen. He had thought that Jing Yan would only be helping out with some simple things, but he did not expect Jing Yan to cook so well. He did not look like a rich young master who did not do anything.
He was really envious of Old Master Jing. Ever since his daughter was fired by Jing Yan, she had locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Her temper was even more unruly than before.
Thinking of Li Xi, Butler Li could not help but sigh. He was worried about his daughter’s future.
“Old Butler, why are you sighing? Come, come, come, sit down and have a few drinks with me.” Old Master Jing asked him to sit down with him and poured him a glass of wine.
The two elders had been together for a lifetime, and the relationship between master and servant had long been blurred. They were more like a pair of bosom friends who had known each other for many years. When they spoke to each other, there were not many rules and restrictions.
“I’m just envious of your good fortune.” Butler Li drank the wine in his glass and could not help but sigh, “Miss He is a good child. You must take good care of your health. Your good days are coming!”
“That’s right, Grandpa. When we’re not around, you have to listen to Butler Li and take good care of your body. If you feel unwell, you can’t hide it from us anymore.” He Miao felt a lingering fear when she thought of the Old Master’s strange behavior at that time.
If she had not found out in time that the old man was sick, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
