"Auntie, I want to ask, this old lady you're talking about, is her last name really Yin?"
Yin Hehe finally walked over and asked the two patients.
As soon as her words fell, the older woman immediately nodded with certainty.
"Yes, her last name is Yin, she's the mother-in-law of that Mrs. Yin. Do you know her?"
"..."
Yin Hehe didn't speak.
Instead, she clenched her fingers tightly. In just a few seconds, she almost drew blood from her palms.
Of course, she knew her; she was her grandmother.
After her birth mother had died, it was her grandmother who had raised her. Otherwise, she might have been tormented to death by that woman He Wanqiu long ago.
How could grandmother have become like this?
Five years ago, when she left, wasn't her grandmother still in good health?
Yin Hehe was completely disoriented by what she'd learned, her heart filled with guilt and rage simmering rapidly, she didn't return to the pediatric department.
Instead, she took her child and headed straight to the internal medicine inpatient department.
"Mommy, are we going to see Great-grandma? Don't be sad, we will see her very soon," Cen Bao comforted her smartly on the way, seeing his mother so grief-stricken and self-reproaching.
He also knew about Great-grandma; Mommy often mentioned her when they were abroad.
"Mhm!"
Reminded by her son, Yin Hehe managed to regain a bit of calm.
But the calm didn't last long. As soon as she reached the internal medicine inpatient department and found the hospital room, she trembled so much upon seeing the disfigured old woman inside that she nearly tore off the doorframe.
"What are you doing here?"
At the critical moment, a man's clear and cool voice sounded from behind her.
Yin Hehe stopped in her tracks!
Sheng Siyuan?
Before she could sort out her emotions, she mechanically turned around and immediately saw a tall and straight male figure already striding toward her.
"Do you know her?"
Sheng Siyuan now stood at the entrance to the hospital room too.
Dressed in a suit, his hands casually slipped into his trouser pockets, he looked even more dashing and unrestrained. However, his eyes, dim and unfocused as they swept over the old lady in the room, emanated a dangerous air.
Yin Hehe's head was no longer able to function.
She hadn't expected this man to appear at the time when her emotions were the most uncontrollable.
"I..."
"Daddy, it was me who asked auntie to come here. I just heard downstairs that Great-grandma was here."
Unexpectedly, just as Yin Hehe was about to give herself away, the clever Cen Bao suddenly stepped forward.
Yin Hehe's complexion immediately changed.
"Cen Bao!"
"You?"
After calling out only one word, the man in front, with his dark and fierce eyes, was already fixated on the little one behind the glasses.
"Great-grandma? You know her?"
"I know, Mommy used to talk about her a lot to me, saying that she raised her and even showed me photos," Cen Bao answered, looking up fearlessly.
That was indeed true.
Over those years, Yin Hehe, while living abroad with the siblings, had mentioned everyone except this despicable man from time to time.
So, it was normal for the little one to remember Great-grandma.
Yin Hehe finally took a deep breath of relief.
However, the man did not seem to believe her and his gaze, sharp as a knife, continued to stare at the little one.
"You mean to say, your mom often talks to you about the Yin family members?"
"Yeah."
Cen Bao didn't notice the danger and acknowledged it readily.
All of a sudden, standing beside him, Yin Hehe felt a chilling coldness that made her scalp tingle rising around her as she stared at the man, noticing that even his look had changed.
"Mr. Sheng!!"
At the critical moment, Yin Hehe immediately scooped up her four-year-old son.
"It's not like that, Miss Yin didn't mention him often, only the great-grandmother brought it up a few times. You know, she's avoiding you, so how could she reveal these things to the child?"
She was so anxious to explain to this man, afraid that in the next second he might tear them, mother and son, apart.
Yes, this damn man, he must be angry again.
As the father of the child, she had never mentioned him in front of the child for the past five years, whereas the Yin Family often did.
It would be strange if he weren't furious.
Fortunately, after his explanation, seeing that others had also gathered around, the man did not lose his temper in the end.
Yin Hehe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had been too careless today, how could she be so inattentive? Even if she was concerned about her grandmother, she could have taken her time to plan.
She left the hospital with her heart still pounding.
Sheng Siyuan hadn't left yet.
He was standing expressionless in the pediatrician's office, looking down from the window to see the woman below had already left with the child.
He coldly withdrew his gaze and pulled out a cigarette.
"So, what exactly are you suspicious of now? You brought her to the hospital on purpose, then deliberately let her hear the news about the old Mrs. Yin. You wouldn't be..."
Shen Fang saw him and took a lighter out of the drawer, walking in front of him.
However, the man did not make a sound.
He lit the cigarette in his hand with the flame, took a deep inhale, and then forcefully snuffed it out in the ashtray.
He prepared to leave, lifting his foot.
Shen Fang: "..."
What's wrong with this guy?
Asking for help with something, yet unwilling to speak even a word.
"What exactly is going on with the Yin Family? Wasn't that woman raised by Yin Rong?"
All of a sudden, the man who had already walked to the door, carrying his suit jacket, turned back.
Shen Fang spread his hands: "Young Master, she's your ex-wife. You were married to her for two years. Are you really asking me these questions?"
"..."
A few seconds of silence.
Made the man at the office door, though still expressionless, show a hint of irritation in his eyes.
Back then, he had indeed never inquired about her affairs, not even a little bit.
Including her family.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, your ex-wife actually had a hard time in the Yin Family. Her birth mother died early, and after her mother's death, her father quickly found her a stepmother. Rumor has it that the stepmother is particularly vicious, often mistreating her. If it weren't for her grandmother, she probably wouldn't have lived to marry you."
Shen Fang couldn't stand this guy and finally spilled out all these troublesome matters of the Yin Family.
Sheng Siyuan paused after hearing it.
Perhaps, he hadn't expected Yin Hehe's status in the Yin Family to be so low.
However, very quickly, he thought of something else.
So, because of an unhappy family, she found a man and eloped? Too bad the elopement didn't succeed. Instead, that man named Chu Yan had an accident, and in a roundabout way, his heart ended up being donated to him, Sheng Siyuan, and then later, that damned woman, to get that heart, married him.
As his thoughts spun, in an instant, his handsome face turned stormy.
"Eldest Young Master, you..."
"Since that's the case, let the old lady go down and accompany her. That would be fulfilling her filial duty, wouldn't it?"
"!!!!!"
Shen Fang was stunned.
Had this guy lost his mind? Did he realize what he was doing?
"Sheng Siyuan, do you hate your ex-wife that much? Aren't you afraid of such actions bringing your deceased ex-wife from beneath the ground to find you?"
"Coincidentally, I'm afraid she won't come!"
He retorted as if he were looking forward to the ghost of his ex-wife crawling up from the ground, which was exactly what he wanted to see.
Shen Fang felt a chill run down his spine...
