Chapter 787: A Sharp Tongue But A Soft Heart

Chapter 787: A Sharp Tongue But A Soft Heart

“I met a girl today,” Yan Huan suddenly spoke. Old Master Lu grunted and did not respond, but Yan Huan knew that he was listening.

“Her leg was perfectly fine.” She took a sip of water and continued, “However, she insisted on using a wheelchair. Grandpa, what do you think this type of woman seek? Are they just too lazy to move or are they begging for pity? Perhaps they are mentally ill?”

The guard beside him sneakily gave her a thumbs up. Miss Yan, you are the only one who is daring enough to insinuate something like this.

With a bang, Old Master Lu stood up. The wind he whipped up was filled with terror and imaginary swords, and these swords gathered into a cluster, all aimed at Yan Huan. If the swords were manifested themselves in reality, Yan Huan would have died at least ten times.

Yan Huan grasped the cup tightly; she just kept drinking the water. The vision in her eyes started to turn blurry.

The sky was cyan; it was going to snow soon. That would most likely be the last snow of Sea City as it was already approaching the new year. She was going to be a year older; twenty-seven years old. She would finally reach that age. Next year, she would be the age whereby she had passed away in her previous life. She did not know how long she would live in this life.

She was looking forward to it.

What was she looking forward to?

Death, perhaps?

Maybe it truly was so. After she finished her cup of water, she stood up and went back to her room. She stripped off of all her clothing as they were soaking wet, except her overcoat. Although the wet clothing took took away some of her heat, they still did not dry up because of it.

She opened her closet and picked out a set of pajamas, putting them on right after. She did not even take a shower; and immediately tucked herself in bed.

Suddenly, it seemed as if she was sweating again.

“After you sweat, it will heal.”

In the midst of grogginess, she seemed to hear someone talking beside her.

“Let me take a look.” A rough hand was placed on her forehead. It felt like the rough bark of a tree. However, it was surprisingly comforting.

“It’s not that warm anymore. I am relieved.”

“Old Master likes this child, right?”

“What is there to like?” Old Master grunted. She is not obedient at all. “If she is my granddaughter, I will probably beat her to death.”

The old military doctor could not help but laugh, “It has been a while since I last saw you express concern toward another person. You’re still the same; you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You actually love a person deep inside, but you are too hard-headed to express it. She has already divorced herself from your grandson, but still, you boldly chased her all the way to ask her to come back with you. Every three days you will throw a fit; every two days you will end up yelling at someone. At the end of the day, you are just worried that she will do something stupid to harm herself.”

“Don’t mention that scumbag Lu Yi.” Old Master Lu got agitated when he heard his grandson being mentioned. “He must be blind. That other woman is obviously a dangerous creature. Why would he still want to marry her?”

“If you can tell, I’m sure he sees it too. However, no matter what, she is still your grandson’s savior. He cannot possibly be ungrateful, right?” The military doctor advised him.

“This little one has also saved our whole family’s life too,” Old Master Lu pursed his lips. That’s it. He did not want to say anything else. “All is well now. You only know how to irritate me. I might die young because of you.”

“I see you are getting more and more energetic by the day.”

The military doctor packed up. Don’t worry, it will be okay. Just sweat it out and tomorrow she will recover. These young folks have stronger immune systems unlike us.

She was not sure if Old Master Lu had said something else. However, it was mostly just them bantering amongst themselves.

Initially, Yan Huan attempted to eavesdrop. However, she could not hear anything in the end. There was only so much that she could remember. Even if she remembered it, she would forget most of it soon. When she opened her eyes, the only thing that she could vaguely remember in her mind was the conversation between the military doctor and Old Master Lu. Although it sounded like nonsense, she still felt touched.

She grabbed the shirt that she was wearing and gave it a good whiff. It smelled sour. She did not know how much sweat had drenched it, but she was sure that her warmth dried out all of her clothes.

She felt her own forehead again. Fortunately, it was no longer burning hot. Instead, it was a bit too cold. However, He Yibin had already advised her that as long as she did not have a fever, she did not have to go to any doctor. She just had to take her medications on time.

When she came out of her room, there was no one at home. Old Master Lu and his guard were not around too.

“Miss Yan, you are awake? Come have your meal.” The housekeeper rushed over and served her some dishes. This housekeeper had been serving Old Master Lu for a long time. She might be old, but her cooking skills were still excellent.

“Thank you, aunty,” Yan Huan walked over. She was well rested and energized, but she was starving. It was inevitable as she did not eat much since she was back from the hospital. From then till now, it was almost ten o’clock. Her stomach growled in hunger.

The housekeeper had prepared some light dishes for her. She was not picky as well. In fact, if she was given scrumptious delicacies, she would have felt reluctant to eat instead. She very much preferred a light meal.

“Aunty, where is grandpa and Xiao Song?” Yan Huan asked the housekeeper about Old Master Lu’s disappearance in the early morning.

“Old Master went fishing.” The housekeeper smiled and said, “He has been in a good mood lately. He did not even use his wheelchair today. I’ve always said that he is fine. There is no need for him to use the wheelchair. At least the Old Master has thought it through and stopped using his wheelchair. He even threw it away.”

Oh… Yan Huan continued to eat her meal. She lifted her head and glanced out of the window. Truthfully, she could not see anything. However, the scenery was in the eye of the beholder. Her eyelids were drooping but she continued to eat. She supported her forehead with her hand, and forced herself to eat some rice.

When Old Master Lu came back, Yan Huan had a big vase in her arms. She was wiping it.

Old Master Lu’s eyes glimmered with joy. It was from the Qing Dynasty! Judging by its colour and quality, it seemed like it.

He knew that she had a special talent in finding antiques. Evidently, he was not implying that she was a tomb raider. However, from time to time, she would bring back some antiques that were of true value and quality. He was already very jealous of the antiques inside his son’s study room, but it was his beloved son after all.

Lu Jin liked it as well. The antiques were like his life; nobody was allowed to touch them, not even the Old Master. In fact, Old Master Lu rarely touched his own antiques as well. Since it was a really large vase, he immediately recognised it as an antique from the Qing Dynasty. That was his ultimate favourite. He once saw it in his friend’s house; he was envious of him.

“Hey, be more careful. Don’t rub it too hard, or even worse, break it.”

“Grandpa, do you want to wipe to yourself?” Yan Huan placed the cloth in front of Old Master Lu. “I want to mow the lawn now.”
