Chapter 78
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, my father, if that day ever comes, I will definitely let you know in advance, okay?" Ning Shu agreed helplessly, not wanting to continue the topic. What kind of thing is this? How did this happen to her?
After saying that, she changed the subject: "I'm going to check on Seventh Grandfather. He's probably talking nonsense with Xie Yue too."
Ning Shu got up, preparing to go out.
Yu Shui also stood up. "Don't worry, Shu'er, Uncle Qi knows what he's doing. It's not what you think."
"Who knows if he'll be careful today? I think he really likes Xie Yue. Although I trust Xie Yue's character more, he can't resist Seventh Grandfather's constant temptations." Ning Shu shrugged and walked out of the ward.
Yu Shui followed behind her, saying as they walked, "You noticed too?"
Ning Shu nodded, "I'm not blind, of course I can see it. Anyone could see what Seventh Grandfather was thinking."
Yu Shui shook her head, sighed, and said, "That's just how Seventh Uncle is. But if that kid can get Seventh Uncle's approval, I might as well try to accept him."
"Why try to accept him? What, Father, do you want to be with him?" Ning Shu teased with a smile.
Yu Shui frowned. "What are you saying, Shu'er?"
If it weren't for the fact that it was a daughter, he definitely would have hit her.
"I was just joking," Ning Shu said with a smile.
It's not a bad thing to create a festive atmosphere from time to time.
Yu Shui smiled helplessly. Well, if Shu'er likes it, then it doesn't really matter. Let's just enjoy ourselves.
As Ning Shu and Yu Shui left the hospital to look for Xie Yue and Ning Qi, Ning Qi and Hu Liena finished gossiping about each other and then prepared to go find Ning Shu.
The two groups met, and Hu Liena went straight to Ning Shu, hugging her tightly, crying, "Ah Shu, Ah Shu!"
This makes it seem like she's the one who just got discharged from the hospital.
"Sister Nana." Ning Shu patted her back and said, "I'm fine, it's Xie Yue who's in trouble."
Hu Liena looked up, blinked, and said, "But I miss you more now!"
The two were about the same height, and Hu Liena had to bend over to get into Ning Shu's arms. Yan watched from the side, feeling incredibly bitter.
Yan: I wish Nana could hug me like this too.
Ning Shu didn't know what was wrong with Hu Liena. She quickly pushed Hu Liena away, shivering, and said, "If you like me, I'll have to cruelly reject you."
"Huh? Why?" Hu Liena asked innocently, holding Ning Shu's hand.
Ning Shu patted the back of her hand and gave a very conservative smile, saying, "Because I don't really like your type."
I prefer the Qian Renxue version.
Ning Shu thought to herself.
Hu Liena said, a little hurt, "Okay, okay, you don't like my type, but that's okay. As long as you like my brother's type, that's fine."
Hearing such straightforward words, Ning Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Xie Yue quickly stepped forward and pulled Hu Liena away, "What are you saying, Nana?"
Hu Liena glared at Xie Yue. "I'm helping you!"
"Help you my foot!" Xie Yue glared back at Hu Liena.
You're actually making things worse!
After saying that, he pulled Hu Liena aside, looked at Ning Shu, and explained, "Nana didn't mean it, Shu, you don't need to worry about it."
"Yeah, it's okay, I know," Ning Shu replied nonchalantly.
She wasn't blind to Xie Yue's thoughts; she was just pretending not to know.
If this relationship is exposed, it will be quite awkward. She doesn't want to be so awkward right now. She'll wait until she can move freely within the Spirit Hall.
Seeing Ning Shu's completely unmoved expression, Xie Yue felt a little disappointed for some reason.
But that's alright. Ning Qi had noticed something fishy. He nodded to himself, while Ning Shu looked at him and said, "Grandpa Qi, haven't you had enough fresh air? Isn't it time to go back?"
"Well."
Everyone's attention was drawn to Ning Qi, who gave an awkward smile and said, "Yes, that's enough. Shu'er, let's go back together."
Since it's almost New Year's, it's perfect to go back together.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Shu said, "No, I'm going back with you."
"What? We're not going back together? Why?" Yu Shui asked anxiously.
When he was talking to Ning Shu just now, Ning Shu didn't say she wouldn't go back.
Besides, didn't she say that she was just going out for a short while and would be back?
Not only Yu Shui, but Ning Qi was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then began to ask, "Why? Shu'er, it's almost New Year's, the time is just right, why don't you come home with us for the New Year? Grandpa Qi hasn't spent a New Year with you in a long time, and your adoptive father feels the same way, he misses you terribly!"
"Exactly!" Yu Shui hurriedly echoed, but after hearing the second half of Ning Qi's sentence clearly, he spat twice, "What cheap father? Seventh Uncle, how can you talk like that!"
"Old man, I'm telling the truth!" Ning Qi snorted. "If it weren't for you, would Shu'er not go back? If you ask me, you might as well go wander outside and let Shu'er come back!"
As he spoke, Ning Qi winked at Yu Shui.
At first, Yu Shui didn't understand what Ning Qi was talking about, but after seeing the look in his eyes, he immediately understood and started acting along with Ning Qi. "Okay, I'll be a wanderer then. Shu'er, I know you're still blaming me, but your Grandpa Qi's health has been getting worse and worse these past two years. He has a wish he wants to fulfill, so please grant it this once, okay?"
"Cough cough cough—"
Ning Qi followed suit and started packing.
"."
Ning Shu: Am I some kind of idiot?
Watching the two perform, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only watch helplessly.
However, the three of them need to return to Wuhun City for the New Year, and it's impossible for them to play with Ning Shu in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If there isn't enough time, His Holiness the Pope will definitely send someone else to monitor them, or even forcibly take Ning Shu away.
Hu Liena didn't really want Ning Shu to be forcibly taken away, but given the current situation, she felt it wouldn't be appropriate for her to interrupt.
So let's just let them perform for a bit.
As for what happens later, we'll talk about it later.
"Shu'er, Grandpa really misses you!"
"Shu'er!"
"."
Ning Qi howled like a ghost.
Ning Shu sighed, "Seventh Grandfather, could you please bring your cane before you start wailing? Last time you lied to me, at least you pretended to be sick and brought a cane. Why aren't you bringing your cane today?"
