"No need, you young ones should go and date. Your momās company is enough for me." Old Mrs. Xu was eager to send Gu Lingling away to avoid any trouble.
"Thatās not acceptable!" Gu Linglingās almond-shaped eyes gleamed as she looked at Old Mrs. Xu. "Since youāre here in the Capital City, we definitely should show you around properly."
Old Mrs. Xu was at a loss for words, seeing Gu Lingling being so persistent and clearly tagging along with them. She felt a wave of irritation rising up her chest again.
Old Mrs. Xu thought she made a mistake. Why hadnāt she investigated ahead of time? How did Wang Shuyun end up with such a little girl by her side?
"Oh dear," Old Mrs. Xu said, holding her forehead, "I suddenly feel a bit stuffy in my chest. Xiao Yun, quickly help me to rest."
"Should we take you to the hospital to have a look?" Gu Lingling asked with genuine concern, "When youāre older, things like headaches and chest tightness may seem minor, but they shouldnāt be ignored."
"There was an old grandma back in our place who thought her chest tightness was nothing serious, but a little illness turned into a big one. In the end, it became critical and she didnāt even make it to the hospital." Gu Lingling said regretfully.
"Xiao Yun, is this daughter-in-law of yours cursing me to die?" Old Mrs. Xu was furious, pointing at Gu Lingling.
"Grandma, thatās not true!" Gu Lingling looked at her innocently, feeling aggrieved, "I was just kindly reminding you not to avoid seeing a doctor. You need treatment."
"Yes, Mom, why donāt I take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Wang Shuyun said with concern.
"I donāt want to go." Old Mrs. Xu said loudly, "I already feel much better now. Wasnāt it said that Iād stay at the guesthouse? Letās go quickly."
After saying this, Old Mrs. Xu quickly strode ahead.
The person who was just reluctant to stay now seemed to be walking briskly!
Gu Linglingās lips curled upwards slightly.
Older people have some reservations about going to the hospital, afraid they might never come out once they go in.
Initially, Gu Lingling was just testing Old Mrs. Xu, never expecting sheād really take the bait.
Feigning illness? I canāt believe I outsmarted you!
Wang Shuyun gave Gu Lingling a look and caught up with Old Mrs. Xu, "Mom, are you really sure you donāt want to go to the hospital?"
Then, Gu Lingling saw that Old Mrs. Xu was walking even faster.
Haha, it seems a trip to the hospital with Old Mrs. Xu can be quite entertaining in the future!
Though thinking this might seem a little unkind.
At the guesthouse, using Wang Shuyunās ID, they checked in. As soon as Old Mrs. Xu entered, she lay on the bed and shooed them away, "Iām tired, you all leave."
"Then you have a good rest, weāll come to see you tomorrow." Wang Shuyun said.
We?
Old Mrs. Xu felt unwell just hearing that word.
She really didnāt want to see this pesky girl at all.
"Canāt you speak nicely to her?" Once outside, Wang Shuyun tapped Gu Linglingās forehead with her finger.
"Iām just worried about you being bullied." Gu Lingling blatantly complained, "Sheās just taking advantage of your kindness."
"You." Wang Shuyun shook her head helplessly, but her heart was warmed by Gu Linglingās words, "Do you have classes tomorrow?"
"I donāt care, even if I have classes, Iāll come." Gu Lingling said coyly, "Besides, missing a class or two doesnāt matter. After all, Iām your daughter-in-law, a little class is easy for me."
"Little sweet talker." Wang Shuyun laughed, "Then tomorrow, Mom will take you to buy clothes."
"More shopping? Didnāt we just go?"
"Donāt want to?" Wang Shuyun gave her a sidelong glance.
"I do, of course I do." As long as she could tag along, she didnāt mind buying anything.
Moreover, itās quite satisfying to irritate that old lady a bit.
And maybe they could dig into some past events.
What Gu Lingling and the others didnāt know is that not long after they left, Old Mrs. Xu, who kept saying she was tired, also left the hotel.
