Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Nianyao, let’s eat.” Auntie Yang walked over.
Meng Nianyao nodded and went to the dining room. She was thinking about Grandma Gu’s anger, so she didn’t eat much for breakfast. Auntie Yang saw her reaction. After some thought, she walked over to Meng Nianyao and tried to persuade her.” Nianyao, don’t be sad. The old madam was just angry for a moment. She’ll be fine in a while.”
Meng Nianyao cared about Grandma Gu very much; she didn’t want to make Grandma Gu angry or unhappy. As soon as Auntie Yang finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and tears flowed out. “I understand, Auntie Yang.”
After breakfast, Meng Nianyao stayed in the living room for a while before heading to the greenhouse. The greenhouse was Grandma Gu’s favorite place. Meng Nianyao didn’t know what she could do to make Grandma Gu happy, so she took a shovel and loosened the soil for each pot of flowers.
At noon, Auntie Yang went upstairs.
Grandma Gu stood in front of the French window and looked in the direction of the greenhouse with a frown. Auntie Yang stood behind her. “Nianyao has been in there for more than two hours, loosening the soil for the flowers. I went to see her a few times, but she said she’ll come back after she’s done.”
“Does she think that I won’t be angry if she gives the flowers some soil? Doesn’t she know how important the annual meeting is?” Grandma Gu said angrily. “I stood up for her so much and wanted to give her a chance to stand by Wencheng’s side in a legitimate manner. But she cowered because of a few words from Lin Ping!”
“You can’t say that,” Auntie Yang advised, “I know that you’ve put in a lot of effort for Nianyao. However, Nianyao’s personality is like that—she’s sensitive and has a low self-esteem. It’s definitely not going to work if you make her integrate into the Gu family so quickly.”
Grandma Gu sighed. She understood Auntie Yang’s words, but she was anxious. After staring at the greenhouse for a while, Grandma Gu said, “Go and call her back for dinner.”
Auntie Yang nodded and happily went to call Meng Nianyao.
The greenhouse was as warm as spring all year round. Meng Nianyao stayed inside. Although it wasn’t cold, she was allergic to pollen, so she kept sneezing. By the time Auntie Yang called her, her eyes were swollen.
From afar, Auntie Yang heard Meng Nianyao sneezing and thought she had caught a cold. When she got closer, she realized that her eyes were swollen and her cheeks were red.
“What’s going on?” Auntie Yang asked.
“I’m fine.”
“How can you say that when your eyes are swollen?” Auntie Yang quickly went upstairs to call Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu had already gone downstairs. She was afraid that Auntie Yang wouldn’t be able to get Meng Nianyao, so she prepared to do it herself.
“What’s wrong?” Grandma Gu asked when she saw Auntie Yang running out.
Meng Nianyao stood behind Aunty Yang and tried to stop her, but it was too late. At this moment, Aunt Yang didn’t need to say anything. Grandma Gu understood immediately when she saw Meng Nianyao’s red and swollen eyes. “Meng Nianyao, you’re allergic to pollen, yet you’re still in the greenhouse. Are you trying to anger me to death?”
Meng Nianyao’s tears flowed down her face after hearing Grandma Gu’s words. Grandma Gu was really angry, but seeing Meng Nianyao like this, she couldn’t say anything harsh. She could only ask Uncle Nan to send her to the hospital first.
Meng Nianyao’s pollen allergy wasn’t serious; she was only sneezing a little and her eyes were swollen. Su Han was afraid that she would have other reactions, such as suffocation, so he got her to stay in the hospital for a night for observation.
In the ward, Grandma Gu looked at Meng Nianyao with a gloomy expression.
“I’m sorry, Grandma.” Meng Nianyao bit her lip.
“Nianyao.” Grandma Gu sighed. In the end, her heart softened. “I’m not blaming you.”
“I know.” Meng Nianyao nodded, tears streaming down her face. She had cried too many times today, but she really couldn’t control herself. She was afraid that Grandma Gu would be angry and ignore her again.
“Do you know what the Gu Corporation’s annual meeting represents? Grandma asked you to go because on that occasion, letting Gu Wencheng’s mother introduce you was equivalent to letting her recognize your identity. Lin Ping is very stubborn. If I don’t let her acknowledge you personally, what will you do when I am no longer around? Who can protect you?” Grandma Gu tried her best to persuade her.
Meng Nianyao’s eyes were red from crying. I won’t be like this in the future. I was wrong…”
Meng Nianyao kept sobbing. Grandma Gu sighed and pulled her into her arms, patting her back.
Grandma Gu accompanied Meng Nianyao in the hospital until Gu Wencheng came to the hospital after work. At night, Meng Nianyao’s allergic symptoms worsened, just as Su Han had predicted. Her eyes became so swollen that she could only open them a slit, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Su Han had been in the hospital the entire time. When he realized that Meng Nianyao’s symptoms had worsened, he immediately gave her some antihistamines. After being tormented for almost the entire night, Meng Nianyao’s symptoms finally began to ease..
