Mr. Fang, holding Lin Shu's hand and examining it with worry on his face, said, "Lin Shu, do you want to stay in the hospital for further observation? What if there are any lasting side effects?"
Fang Zhi frowned slightly.
If Lin Shu agreed, he would have to keep running to the hospital.
"Grandfather, the doctor said she's fine. We should listen to the doctor," Fang Zhi interrupted.
Mr. Fang was not satisfied, "This concerns Lin Shu's health; we can't treat it lightly. Besides, I didn't ask you. I asked Lin Shu."
He shot Fang Zhi a stern look, signaling him to stay quiet.
Then, turning back to Lin Shu, he put on a worried, earnest face, "Good child, don't take Fang Zhi's words to heart. Tell Grandpa the truth: are you feeling dizzy? Does it hurt?"
Lin Shu shook her head, "Grandpa, the doctor said I'm fine."
"You're a teacher; what if you sustain a head injury that leaves lasting side effects? What will you do then?" Mr. Fang sighed sadly.
Lin Shu felt warm inside.
These were considerations that perhaps not even her own father would think of, but Mr. Fang had.
She smiled politely, "You don't need to worry, I know my own condition."
Only after Lin Shu repeatedly assured him she was fine did Mr. Fang nod, "Just in time for dinner. I know a good restaurant nearby. Let's have a meal together and discuss your honeymoon plans."
Jinshangyun private restaurant.
Once in the private room, the old man ordered a table full of dishes.
As they waited for the food, Mr. Fang looked at the young couple with a satisfied smile, "You've been married for a few days now. How's the honeymoon planning going?"
Fang Zhi and Lin Shu exchanged surprised looks.
They hadn't had much interaction in the past few days.
It was only because Lin Shu was in the hospital that they had seen each other a few more times and had a few brief conversations.
But they had not touched on the topic of the honeymoon.
They both remained quiet for half a minute, causing Mr. Fang to frown, visibly displeased.
He aimed his anger at Fang Zhi, "You damn boy, tell me honestly: have you not prepared for the honeymoon trip? Didn't I tell you to? Did you just let my words go in one ear and out the other?"
Mr. Fang was so angry that he slapped the table.
Now Fang Zhi's frown deepened.
Just in time, Lin Shu defused the situation, "Grandpa, you can't blame Fang Zhi. I was busy applying for professional titles a while ago, so I told him to postpone the honeymoon."
Facing Lin Shu, Mr. Fang's tolerance was much higher.
He finally calmed down, "I see, our Lin Shu is indeed career-minded and ambitious. That's great! You are truly a worthy granddaughter-in-law."
Mr. Fang's eyes crinkled with happiness.
Sitting across from Lin Shu, Fang Zhi's lips pressed into a thin line.
If he were caught up with work, Mr. Fang would deride him, suggesting he might as well marry his work.
Yet when Lin Shu was busy with her work, Mr. Fang praised her for it.
Fang Zhi's eyes cooled.
This woman sure knew how to make an impression.
"I was also busy with my law firm, so I didn't have time to think about these things," Fang Zhi said plainly.
The mood went suddenly cold, Mr. Fang, unreceptive to his words, pulled a face.
Mr. Fang found fault with him, "You damn boy, how many times do I have to tell you? Life isn't all about your work. Now, you need to focus on Lin Shu and your family."
"Don't bring up work to me day after day. Will you starve if you don't work?"
The Fang family were old-money high society, with an extensive family business and funds they couldn't exhaust in eighteen lifetimes.
That sliver of money didn't matter to Mr. Fang.
What he cared about most was the continuation of the Fang bloodline.
Now that depended on Lin Shu, that was what was most important!
"Grandpa, Fang Zhi and I just received our marriage certificates. He's slowly shifting his focus, and I can feel it. You need to give him some time to adapt," Lin Shu defended Fang Zhi.
For Lin Shu's sake, Mr. Fang's expression finally softened, even breaking into a smile.
"You damn boy, see how good a wife I found for you? If you don't cherish her, you'll regret it later." Mr. Fang was more and more pleased with Lin Shu.
Fang Zhi saw the contentment on his face and felt a chill in his heart.
This woman certainly knew how to curry favor with his grandfather.
But what was the use of that? Fang Zhi would not tolerate anything amiss.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and the waiter began to serve the dishes.
For the three of them, Mr. Fang ordered fifteen dishes, spending thirty thousand.
For the Fang family, this was a routine expense.
Mr. Fang picked up his chopsticks and gave Lin Shu a piece of Songgui fish, "Lin Shu, have a taste; their fish is excellent, fresh, and tender."
Lin Shu tasted a piece of the fish, nodded, and smiled, "Indeed, it's delicious."
"Grandpa, you eat too." Out of filial piety, Lin Shu also served him some food.
Mr. Fang, delighted, nodded vigorously, full of praises, "Our Lin Shu is both beautiful and filial. I don't know which damn boy racked up eight lifetimes of good fortune to marry you."
He glanced at Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi showed no reaction.
"Since you haven't mentioned the honeymoon before, why not think about it now? Where do you want to go for the month?" Mr. Fang was very concerned about their plans.
Lin Shu swallowed her food and glanced at Fang Zhi's face.
His expression was indifferent.
She couldn't discern what he was thinking.
"The honeymoon destination can be decided by Lin Shu," Fang Zhi said casually, taking a sip of water.
This woman who had hidden her true intentions for so long was certainly going to seize the opportunity to exploit him heavily.
She was undoubtedly a gold-digger and would choose to go somewhere like Europe or America, where everything was expensive.
Fang Zhi already had a notion, and he looked at Lin Shu.
They both looked at her, waiting for Lin Shu to make a decision.
Lin Shu put down her chopsticks, "I think Yunnan isn't bad."
As soon as she said this, Fang Zhi frowned.
The confidence in his eyes instantly collapsed.
She was actually suggesting Yunnan, a place with moderate expenses.
"Yunnan is great with beautiful sceneries and refreshing climate!" Mr. Fang clapped happily, "Then, it's settled. You two are honeymooning in Yunnan."
"Let this be an opportunity for you to make up for your mistake. Plan the honeymoon well so that Lin Shu will have wonderful memories. Do you hear me?" Mr. Fang looked sternly at Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi frowned, his voice low, "Yunnan is indeed a good choice. I happen to have a client there."
"You damn boy, are you looking for a beating? I talk to you, and my words go in one ear and out the other." Mr. Fang, furious, slapped his chopsticks down.
Fang Zhi had said this on purpose. He wanted to see Lin Shu's reaction.
Reality let him down once more.
Lin Shu was very composed, not expressing disappointment at all.
