Chapter 315: Undermining? Nuannuan's Response.
Yao Mingyue's incident wasn't disclosed to Father Xu and Mother Xu.
This was also what Liu Rushuang meant.
The incident had already occurred, and telling them would only add to their sorrow.
In the hospital room, An Nuannuan's grandparents personally came to the bedside to thank the young girl who was the same age as their granddaughter.
After all, it was Yao Mingyue who had stepped forward in the critical moment, otherwise the one lying in the hospital bed now would have been An Nuannuan.
Moreover, An Nuannuan's body had just recovered not long ago, and if her leg had been hit again, she might really be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
Seeing the two elderly people in front of her, Yao Mingyue also hurriedly tried to sit up, but Xu Musen gently supported her body, while An Nuannuan thoughtfully tucked in her blanket.
Yao Mingyue smiled obediently at the two old people, "No need to thank me, we are all family after all. If one gets hurt, the other won't feel good either."
The grandparents listened to her words, and as they watched the three children in perfect harmony, they too nodded their heads contentedly.
Nuannuan had not had many friends before, and the appearance of Xu Musen had put the elders at ease. He was a good boy and would definitely not do something to start trouble and then abandon it.
Otherwise, the old master also knew a bit about firearms...
Of course, having only a boyfriend or girlfriend is not enough in this world. One must also have their own friends so that their mental and intellectual growth can be more well-rounded.
Although this girl named Yao Mingyue had a somewhat complicated relationship with Xu Musen, the two elders, having seen a lot and met numerous people, could still tell that she was a kind person.
Moreover, now that she had saved An Nuannuan, both in terms of feelings and reason, the elders had much good will towards this young girl.
"Then we won't disturb your rest. Take good care of your health, we'll seek justice for you regarding this matter," said the grandmother, speaking softly to Yao Mingyue.
Although Huang Tianming was already dead, it was the father's fault for not teaching his son. The Huang Family had been too arrogant for the past years, and they were sure to pay the price.
"Right, right! Young lady, rest assured, we will certainly stand up for you on this matter!" said the old master, already ready to enter battle mode. Damn Huang Family!
It's only their tortoise son who died, but my precious granddaughter got scratched, and it involved this young girl too!
Liu Rushuang also bent down to gently touch her daughter's cheek, "You stay in the hospital and recover. Mommy will take care of some things and come back to see you in the evening."
Liu Rushuang harbored more hatred toward the Huang Family than anyone else.
If something had truly happened to her darling daughter today, even if she had to sell her business and exhaust her wealth, she would drag the Huang Family down with her for a few burials!
Now, Liu Rushuang's business in Huhai had already achieved a certain degree of influence, and its cash asset reserves were among the highest of Huhai's enterprises.
Only because its foundation was too shallow, owning a mountain of gold, without extensive connections, was always going to be limiting.
But this time, the An Family had also set their sights on the Huang Family.
The An Family members weren't particularly fond of business undertakings, and only An Nuannuan's father chose to go abroad to operate a business, but the An Family's connections were considered among the very best in Huhai.
If they joined hands, it would be impossible for the Huang Family not to suffer a severe blow.
Xu Musen escorted them out of the hospital room.
In the hospital room, only Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan were left.
An Nuannuan peeled an apple and, after cutting it into pieces, fed it to Yao Mingyue's mouth.
Yao Mingyue wasn't being pretentious, opened her mouth, and ate it. The crisp and sweet apple invigorated her a little.
The two were silent for a moment.
Yao Mingyue couldn't help but speak up.
"Nuannuan, you remember what happened before, right?"
"Mhm."
An Nuannuan nodded her head, no longer hiding anything at this moment.
Once again having her thoughts confirmed, Yao Mingyue's face revealed a complex smile.
"No wonder, the timing of your appearances was so coincidental, and you always managed to hit upon all his favorite points so precisely. You really did your homework, huh."
"Liking someone requires doing your homework in advance. After all, you've always been the one being loved, so of course, you didn't need to prepare anything," Nuannuan said without her usual daze, speaking to Yao Mingyue with the composure and ease of a mature older sister.
Seeing her like this, Yao Mingyue honestly found it hard to connect her with that naive girl from before.
Yao Mingyue pursed her lips and suddenly felt like a newcomer in front of her.
"He always says I'm scheming and calculating, portraying you as simple and naive. Now it seems... perhaps you've been spinning him around your finger all along, far more cunning than I am."
There was a trace of sour resentment in Yao Mingyue's words.
An Nuannuan blinked and continued peeling the apple, "Whether it's being scheming or naive, other people's opinions aren't important. I only know what he likes, and I want what he wants, so I'll become the person he likes."
Yao Mingyue's mouth fell open, understanding An Nuannuan's thoughts but still feeling that something was hard to put into words.
"He told me the story of how you two met. It was just him delivering a cake to you once. Is that worth waiting for him silently for life?"
An Nuannuan's apple peeling paused slightly, and she gently brushed back a strand of hair from her ear, her clear eyes showing a reflective look.
"A piece of cake certainly isn't enough for me to wait for him so long. At first, I hadn't thought about waiting for him either. I just wanted to be able to thank him in person, maybe even become friends. Of course, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, in her heart, would feel fondness towards that gentle boy…"
