Chapter 707: Chapter 706: 706, Jade Piglet Bracelet

Imperial Court Villa.

In the second floor bedroom, Su Wanwan is lying on the bed in her pajamas, staring at a jade piglet bracelet in a red gift box.

Under the light, the jade has a warm texture, and each piglet is carved so vividly that they seem to come alive.

Indeed, it’s quite cute.

Moreover, unless you look closely, you wouldn’t even realize that they are piglets, it just looks like a regular jade bead bracelet, so it doesn’t appear too precious or ostentatious.

With pursed lips, Su Wanwan is utterly puzzled.

Closing the box, she takes out her phone and starts to search for Yan Shunhua’s name.

Not many news articles pop up on the internet, aside from the previous ones she knew about, there’s some new ones about her charity work, but nothing else particularly fresh.

Just as she’s browsing, her phone screen blinks and it starts ringing.

Staring at the caller ID, Su Wanwan frowns.

The call disconnects due to her delay in answering.

“Why didn’t you pick up?”

Huo Jingshen’s voice follows immediately.

She quickly diverts her gaze, “Jiang Yi called.”

Ever since the Spring Festival, Jiang Yi would call her every once in a while.

Either to invite her home or to have a meal together.

Lazy to deal with her, Su Wanwan instinctively does not want to pick up.

Anyway, if it was something urgent, Jiang Yi would call again.

Thankfully.

After this call, Jiang Yi did not call again, indicating nothing urgent.

Huo Jingshen, pressing his thin lips, walks over and sits by the bed.

At the same time, a faint minty scent from the shower gel wafts over.

His well-defined fingers pick up the red gift box, open the lid, directly take out the bracelet, and put it on Su Wanwan’s left wrist.

The cold touch startles Su Wanwan, and she quickly tries to remove it, “What are you doing?”

However, her hand gets swatted away by the man.

With one hand, Huo Jingshen grasps her right hand, and with the other, he holds her slender and pale left wrist, lifting it slowly. Narrowing his eyes, he watches and comments, “Your Aunt Yan really has good taste.”

Under the light, the jade bracelet appears well polished, the soft green color seems as if it could drip down any moment, further accentuating her pale, delicate, and smooth wrist.

“But I want to return it to her. I can’t wear it.”

“No need to return it.” Huo Jingshen lifts his eyelid, his deep black eyes calm and serene, “Huai’an just called, inviting me to invest in Huan’s and Yan Shunhua’s joint project.”

Half understanding, Su Wanwan nods, “So this bracelet is Aunt Yan’s attempt to win your favor?”

“Approximately.” Huo Jingshen neither agrees nor disagrees, “In a couple of days, we will discuss the specifics of our partnership. You will accompany me then.”

“Should I also go?” Su Wanwan is surprised.

“Hmm.” Huo Jingshen lifts his large hand, gently touching her soft and smooth hair, “If you think it’s boring, ask Huai’an to bring Haohao along too.”

“Alright.” Su Wanwan agrees.

Although her thought is: If she plans to work in this industry, early exposure would be good, and she can see Yan Shunhua again.

The next day is the weekend.

Early in the morning, Mo Weiyi calls Su Wanwan, “Wanwan, let’s visit Huanhuan at the hospital today, and I need to visit grandpa.”

“What’s wrong with your grandpa?”

“Nothing serious, he just suddenly fainted a few days ago. Let’s first visit Huanhuan today, then we’ll have hot pot for lunch, watch a movie in the afternoon, have afternoon tea, and then go home. How about it?”

In a few words, Mo Weiyi has planned the entire day.

Su Wanwan suddenly asks, “Why are you so free today? Didn’t Lu Chenyu assign you weekend tasks?”

“No.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Ever since she started interning at Yurui, Mo Weiyi was always busy doing Lu Chenyu’s tasks, but not this week?

She asks, “Didn’t you tell him you want to intern seriously, learn from him?”

“I did! I also told him that I won’t resign, he should forget about it.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

That’s just like Little princess.

Who could withstand this kind of speech?

I’m afraid Lu Chenyu really has given up, it’s probably better out of sight, out of mind for him now.

Around 10 in the morning, the two arrived at Nangong Hospital.

The hospital was quite crowded on weekends. As they reached the first floor of the inpatient department, they heard a commotion up ahead.

Initially, the two didn’t pay much attention, but after a few steps, they heard the name “Shi Huan”. Su Wanwan looked over and saw two old ladies arguing with the nurse. One of them looked sort of familiar.

“Why won’t you let me go upstairs? I’ve told you that Shi Huan is my biological granddaughter! I’m her biological grandmother! She’s injured and hospitalised, am I not even allowed to visit as her elder?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chu stated that no one besides those on the approved list can visit.”

“What list? Show it to me!”

“Sorry, it concerns patient privacy, we need to keep it confidential!”

“Bastards!” The old lady Shi’s face turned red with anger, “Your hospital goes too far! Are you looking down on us? This is outrageous!”

The nurse looked at the old lady’s tantrum, “Madam, I’m just following the regulations. If Miss Shi is really your granddaughter, you could give her a call. Can’t a family discuss things openly?”

“You…”

The old lady Shi’s face turned a bright shade of red then pale.

If a phone call would work, would she still be making a fuss here?

That ungrateful brat Shi Huan! Ever since she found out that Luoluo was her biological daughter with Chu Xiuhuang, her attitude has done a complete 180!

In the past, she’d at least greet her as grandma every time they met. Now that she’s become important, she doesn’t answer calls and refuses to meet. It seems like she’s ready to cut ties with the Shi family!

The old lady Shi was so upset, she immediately started hitting Qian Yulin. “Look at your brilliant daughter! She’s killing me! This is literally driving me to my death!”

Qian Yulin endured the pain and tried to calm her down, “Mom, let’s go home.”

“Call her, tell her to come down and let us in!”

“Mom, Huanhuan is still bedridden. Besides… her phone is off.”

At this, the old lady slapped her again and again.

“You worthless thing!”

Qian Yulin was furious but dared not to speak.

Only when the old lady left leaning on her cane, cursing under her breath, did Mo Weiyi purse her lips. “What manners! Making a scene in public like that! They never visited when Huanhuan was seriously hurt. But now that they know Huanhuan is getting married to Chu Xiuhuang, they all come running to suck up. How could Huanhuan have such relatives!”@@novelbin@@

The two entered the elevator.

They went upstairs and visited old Mr. Mo’s ward first.

The old man was sitting on the hospital bed playing chess. A chessboard was on the movable dining table in front of him, with Shi Bo on the other side.

They were quite relaxed.

Seeing his beloved granddaughter, the old man looked behind her, but only saw Su Wanwan, “Where’s Yebai?”

“Xiaobai has to work overtime today.”

Old Mr. Mo put on a stern face, not happy, “Working overtime on the weekend? Shi Kang, call Yebai right now. I must find out what’s going on. What on earth could be so important that he needs to work overtime on the weekend!”

“Alright, grandpa!” Mo Weiyi put down her little purse and sat down on the sofa. “If Xiaobai has to work overtime, I’m busy too. If you call him back, I won’t have time to spend with him.”

Shi Bo was startled.

Old Mr. Mo raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean by this?”

Mo Weiyi smiled sweetly, “Nothing, I’ve just got a date with Wanwan today, we’re going for hotpot and a movie.”

Su Wanwan coughed a couple of times.

Old Mr. Mo glanced at Su Wanwan, then said, “Anyway, if he doesn’t treat you well, tell grandpa. Grandpa will back you up.”

“I know.” Mo Weiyi took an orange and gave it to Su Wanwan, “Wanwan, have an orange.”

Old Mr. Mo relaxed, looked at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, picked up a ‘knight’, and took a step forward. “Yiyi, how’s your planning for having a baby going?”

“Grandpa, why are you bringing up this matter again?” Mo Weiyi swallowed a piece of orange, “Didn’t I already say this? Right now, I’m interning and also preparing for graduation and work. We’re not considering a baby for the time being.”

“As a woman, everything else doesn’t matter. Having a child as soon as possible is what matters most.” After saying this, Old Mr. Mo looked at Su Wanwan, “Miss Su, don’t you agree?”

Su Wanwan gave an awkward laugh.

Old Mr. Mo shifted his gaze back, “Yebai will be twenty-six soon, and you’re almost twenty-one. It’s about time to have a child.”

Mo Weiyi quickly changed the topic, “Grandpa, when are you getting discharged?”

“In a few more days, Uncle Yu said I need further observation.”

“Alright.”

Finishing her orange, Mo Weiyi clapped her hands, stood up, and said, “Grandpa, Wanwan and I are going next door to visit a friend.”

“Okay.”
