Chapter 495: Chapter 496: Shang Wan in Critical Condition (6)
Nianyang cleared her throat, squatted in front of the old Mr. Chu, and blinked, saying, "Grandpa Chu, I just scared your granddaughter. Are you mad at me!"
The muscles on old Mr. Chuâs face had softened a lot after a few days of medication, allowing him to make expressions that others could understand.
Hearing Nianyangâs question, he immediately pulled the corners of his mouth with effort, his wrinkled face curving into a smile, his eyes full of "Iâm not mad, not at all!"
As long as you like it, I like whatever you do!
Nianyang understood old Mr. Chuâs meaning, smiled widely, and said, "Grandpa Chu, thank you for understanding me. I wasnât trying to pick a fight with your granddaughter; she was too much, thinking about my partner. If I didnât fight back, wouldnât I just be a pushover?"
"Mm-hmm!" Old Mr. Chu nodded vigorously, giving Nianyang a big encouragement!
Nianyang softly said, "Grandpa Chu, youâre so nice. Everyone says youâre confused because youâre sick, but I think youâre the wisest person. Youâre so good, so gracious; how can you have a granddaughter like Chu Huan whoâs so useless? Itâs really puzzling....."
"Ah ah ah..."
Silly girl, because sheâs not my granddaughter at all, you are!
Nianyang held old Mr. Chuâs hand, "Grandpa Chu, I know you have things to say to me. Donât worry, weâll take it slow. Iâll definitely cure you, let you live a long life, and restore your grandeur as a general!"

Nianyang stayed with old Mr. Chu until the evening, initially planning to leave after the Chu couple came back. Unexpectedly, it was Chu Tianming who hired a caregiver for old Mr. Chu.
The caregiver said the Chu couple had something urgent in the neighboring city, and from now on, she would be responsible for old Mr. Chuâs daily care.
With someone to take care of old Mr. Chu, Nianyang felt at ease leaving and prepared to go back to the Li Family to pack her things!
But unfortunately, a sudden storm started, with raindrops as big as beans mixed with ferocious winds, creating a continuous splattering sound around.
Nianyang thought, tonight she probably has to stay one more night at the Li Family and set off for Tingyanâs private residence tomorrow.
She entered the Li Family quietly, finding the living room quiet except for the lights, with no one in sight.
The rain outside was particularly heavy, causing the house lights to flicker before finally shutting off with a snap.
Oh no, the powerâs out!
As Nianyang was hesitating about what to do, a door across from her opened, and Zhang Yun came out cautiously holding a candle.
"Nianyang, youâre back?!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Nianyang walked over and asked, "Where did everyone else go?"
Zhang Yun sighed and said, "Just after you and Tingyan left, Uncle and Aunt had another fight in the afternoon. Uncle simply took everyone out to get some air, and they havenât come back yet. My husband has also been too busy to be home lately."
Nianyang awkwardly touched her nose and said, "So why are you here, sister-in-law?"
"Iâm pregnant, so Iâve been feeling lazy and donât want to go anywhere. Plus, after you cured my insomnia, I canât stop napping in the afternoon, naturally not wanting to run around. I just woke up and was about to make something to eat when the rain suddenly poured down like this!"
Nianyang pondered and asked, "Aunt Li should be at home too, right?"
Zhang Yun suddenly slapped her thigh, "Oh, if you hadnât mentioned it, Iâd have forgotten. Auntâs been in her room all afternoon without coming out, and probably hasnât had dinner!"
