Chapter 448: 128: She is the person Iâm looking for! _4
Ni Yang squinted her eyes and didnât stay on the second floor for too long, quickly returning to the third floor instead.
Shangguan Xu was accompanying Old Lady Shangguan.
When he saw Ni Yang approaching, he promptly came forward and said, âMiss Ni, I canât thank you enough for today. If it werenât for you, my grandmotherâs life might have been in danger.â
âIt was nothing, no need to mention it.â Ni Yang handed the report to Shangguan Xu, âSince youâre here now, Iâll be on my way.â
Shangguan Xu continued, âYouâre leaving so soon? Why not join us for a meal?â
Old Lady Shangguan chimed in, âXiaoxu is right, Yangyang, you did us a huge favor. It would be improper if you left without having a meal.â
Ni Yang replied with a smile, âYouâre being too kind, but I need to attend to a few things at my shop. Goodbye, Old Lady Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan.â With these words, Ni Yang turned and walked away.
Watching Ni Yangâs receding figure, Old Lady Shangguan remarked, âYangyang is really a good child.â
Shangguan Xu watched Ni Yangâs retreating figure in silence.
Outside, the sun was bright and slightly scorching. As Ni Yang walked out of the Hospital, she unconsciously raised her hand to shield her forehead from the sun, allowing a sliver of light to penetrate through her fingers, casting a faint shadow on her curled eyelashes.
âMiss Ni, wait a moment.â A gentle male voice sounded behind her.
Ni Yang slightly turned her head, a wisp of hair swept past her lips. Under the sunlight, her clear and sparkling peach blossom eyes were utterly captivating.
This was the charm of a womanâs graceful turn and enchanting smile.
Shangguan Xu was briefly stunned. He approached Ni Yang and handed her a hundred yuan note, âI forgot to give you the fee for the medicine and registration.â
Ni Yang reached out to accept it, smiling, âActually, you didnât have to bother coming all the way here. Old Lady Shangguan and I meet often.â
Shangguan Xu said, âMy grandmother has poor memory and feared she might forget, which is why she asked me to deliver this to you.â
Ni Yang flashed a small smile, âItâs just a small amount of money, it wouldnât matter even if she forgot.â
âHow could that be?â Shangguan Xu continued, âYouâve already helped my grandmother so much, itâs only proper to compensate you for the medical expenses. By the way, did you come on foot? Could I offer you a ride home?â
Ni Yang declined with a smile, âThank you but thereâs no need, my bike is parked not far from here.â
With his handsome features, distinguished background, and the prestigious position he held, few women would reject Shangguan Xu.
Yet, Ni Yang was one of those rare few.
Shangguan Xu, who had planned to drive Ni Yang home, was taken aback. He hesitated for a moment, before saying, âOkay, please be careful on your way.â
Ni Yang nodded slightly, âI will, goodbye.â
âGoodbye.â Shangguan Xu waved at her before turning around to walk back into the hospital.
When he returned alone, Old Lady Shangguan asked unhappily, âWhy did you come back alone? Didnât I ask you to accompany Yangyang home?â
Shangguan Xu replied, âShe came on her bicycle, so there was no need for me to send her.â
Old Lady Shangguan shook her head in frustration, âYou really⊠â
This grandson of hers was beyond help. He didnât seize opportunities, even laid in front of him. No wonder he was still alone.
Shangguan Xu changed the subject, âBy the way, whereâs Xiaoxi? Isnât she usually the one who accompanies you on these outings?â
Old Lady Shangguan replied, âXiaoxi went to the mall with your father.â
Xiaoxi went to the mall with dad?â Shangguan Xu asked, taken aback.
âYour Aunt Lin and her daughter Chang Yue are also with them.â Old Lady Shangguan continued, âYour dad gets along well with your Aunt Lin who has a daughter four years younger than Xiaoxi. Todayâs outing was mainly to see if Xiaoxi and Chang Yue could get along.â
Despite not having met Lin Fang, Old Lady Shangguan already had a favorable impression of her.
After all, Lin Fang had been introduced by one of their own.
âWhat does Aunt Lin do?â Shangguan Xu asked.
Old Lady Shangguan replied, âShe is in the education industry, a kindergarten teacher.â
Shangguan Xu nodded, âShe must have a lot of love to give.â The Shangguan family was renowned, so even though they were considering a second marriage, they couldnât settle for someone mediocre. A profession like a teacher was ideal as it immediately gave the impression of an understanding and empathetic person.
It also lent respectability.
Old Lady Shangguan continued, âSheâs also of good character. Iâve heard that after her ex-husband passed away years ago, she kept painstakingly looking after her paralyzed mother-in-law. She is a rare gem of a daughter-in-law.â
