Seeing the confused look on Hao Ren’s grandma’s face, Zhao Hongyu laughed, “I mean, Ren has been tutoring our Zi, and we have gotten acquainted like a family.”
“Hehe,” grandma laughed happily at this explanation and said, “Yeah, I can tell. Ren does have a good relationship with Zi.”
Zhao Yanzi’s face blushed immediately as she defended herself in a quiet voice, “Who says I have a good relationship with him…”
“I just asked the doctor, and he said that if everything is ok after another day of observation, you can go home,” Zhao Hongyu continued.
“Thank you so much! But I still need to pay you back. Once I am discharged, I will look at the bills and give you the money!” Grandma insisted.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Hongyu couldn’t refuse any longer. Therefore, she nodded reluctantly and said, “Alright…”
“Mom, didn’t Phillip Stark come to visit your studio today? I thought you are having dinner with him,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“I showed him around the Creative Center today. But since Hao Ren’s grandma is ill, I canceled our dinner arrangements,” Zhao Hongyu smiled.
Hao Ren was touched that Zhao Hongyu had prioritized his grandma, but he had no idea that Phillip Stark was a World-Renown Designer who worked on the renovation of the most historic and luxurious hotel in Hong Kong – the Peninsula Hotel as well as the personal residence of the French President Francois Mitterrand. Zhao Hongyu didn’t just give up an ordinary dinner in order to see Hao Ren’s grandma at the hospital.
Since she was here, she certainly wouldn’t leave without chatting with Hao Ren’s grandma for a bit.
Although she was in business attire, she was still an understanding wife and loving mother who was down to earth. Her thoughtful conversations and smart responses helped her bond with Hao Ren’s grandma.
Grandma was a bit unhappy about how busy her daughter-in-law was since Hao Ren’s mom was working all the time. Therefore, after she found out that Zhao Hongyu was great at doing house chores and taking care of her family, Grandma liked her even more.
During their conversation, Zhao Hongyu asked, “Auntie, it’s pretty inconvenient for you to stay in the beach house. Why don’t you move into the city?”
“Ren’s dad said that the air on the beach is fresher, so he bought me the cottage there. We sold our place in the city many years ago,” Grandma answered.
“You are a senior, and it’s not safe for you to live alone over there. Ren almost lost it yesterday when this happened. I think it would be easier for you if you lived in the city,” Zhao Hongyu carried on.
Grandma was a bit convinced as she turned to Hao Ren and imagined how stressed out he was the day before.
Zhao Hongyu continued, “How about moving in with us after you have recovered?”
Hao Ren was listening to their chat from the side, and he tensed up at the suggestion. “Grandma moving into Zi’s house? What would that mean?” he thought.
“That’s not necessary!” Grandma waved hastily and said, “I’m used to living alone at the beach. It’s is ok. Plus, Ren’s parents are coming back next week, so I will be alright with them taking care of me.”

“Next week?” Zhao Hongyu’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, should be next Wednesday. I will ask Ren’s dad to take your family out for dinner to thank you for saving my life,” Grandma said.
“Please don’t bother with that… we are a family,” Zhao Hongyu kept mentioning that they were a family.
She soon added, “But it’ll be good for us to all meet.”
Hao Ren’s heart sank. He felt like he had just fallen into a trap. Although his grandma looked healthy, she had severe high blood pressure. It was an indisputable fact that Zhao Hongyu did him a huge favor this time.
“Great! I’ll have Ren’s dad make a reservation when he comes back so we can show our gratitude!” Grandma said brightly.
Zhao Hongyu covered her mouth as she laughed and glimpsed at Hao Ren, and he lightly sighed helplessly. He knew that the meeting was destined even if this incident with Grandma never took place. With Zhao Guang controlling the Mingri Group, and he would be able to meet up with Hao Ren’s parents by either investing or sponsoring their projects.
“Since we are already a family,” Zhao Hongyu added in the heat of the moment, “Maybe you can stay with us for a few days and fully recover before Ren’s parents come back? We can take you back to the cottage afterward. Plus, we are very close to Ren’s university. You guys would be able to see each other more often because Ren comes to tutor Zi every day. That sounds great, doesn’t it! Ren was so worried when he heard the news yesterday. You don’t want to worry him too much too, right?”
Those words were persuasive, but Grandma was still hesitant, “That’s…too much trouble…”
“Not at all. We have a spare room, and I will get it ready for you after we get back. It’s not troublesome at all; just an extra pair of chopsticks!” Zhao Hongyu said enthusiastically.
Grandma turned to Hao Ren and was still hesitant.
Hao Ren was in a dilemma himself after hearing Zhao Hongyu’s suggestion. On the one hand, he didn’t want to trouble Zi’s family because of his grandma. On the other hand, he wanted her to be taken good care of after getting out of the hospital. He wanted her to get well soon because she shouldn’t go through too much at such an old age. Uncle Wang was not young, and he might neglect a lot of things. Hao Ren would still be worried if he let her return to the cottage directly from the hospital.
Therefore, he said after a thorough consideration of the situation, “Since my parents will be home next week, it’s better for Grandma to stay with Auntie Hongyu for the time being. We can take you back to the cottage after my parents come back.”
He thought to himself, “We must pay back the favor to Zi’s family because they have spent money, time, and energy on Grandma in her time of need. It’s a good thing that Zi is still young! I can ask dad to give her a thick red pocket with 7,000 to 8,000 yuan as a gift when they meet. That should be enough to express our gratitude and cover the cost.”
Grandma finally made up her mind after hearing Hao Ren’s words. She said to Zhao Hongyu, embarrassed, “Aoy…sorry for the trouble then…”
She had the same thoughts as Hao Ren. She wanted to thank Zhao Yanzi’s family a million times once Hao Ren’s dad was back.
“Then take some good rest, Auntie! I will send a car to pick you up first thing in the morning tomorrow!” Zhao Hongyu laughed cheerfully. She stood up and lightly bowed to Grandma. Then she waved Zhao Yanzi over.
“Goodbye, Grandma!” Zhao Yanzi put the backpack on her back and said to Grandma in a girly tone.
“You have really met a great family, Ren!” Grandma sighed as the two walked out of the room one by one.
Next morning, after having examined Hao Ren’s grandma’s condition, the doctor confirmed that everything was fine. He told Hao Ren to complete the discharging procedures.
After everything was done, Hao Ren held onto his grandma and helped her to walk out of the hospital – she was still weak.
A black stretch Lincoln Limousine was already waiting outside; it was five meters away from the entrance.
