Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, she went to the hospital again. This time, she brought along countless dishes with her. When Mrs. Li saw the amount of food, she skimmed her lips. “You are so wealthy, and yet you are feeding us this kind of food. How stingy can you get?”

Song Wan’s expression froze, but she continued to lay the food on the table in front of Li Manni as though nothing had happened. Then, she handed her daughter-in-law a pair of chopsticks. “Manni, these are all your favorite dishes from Yu Cuisine, the private kitchen you loved. Do eat more.”

“You shouldn’t have, Mom. Thank you.” Li Manni had somewhat recovered. She knew she shouldn’t go all out with her mother-in-law and worsened the situation. After all, they would have to spend the rest of their lives together as a family.

Song Wan was relieved at Li Manni’s attitude. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law was sensitive.

Mrs. Li was embarrassed when she heard the food was from Yu Cuisine. Everyone in their social status knew the reputation of Yu Cuisine. Their executive chef was a descendant of an imperial chef, and the recipes had been handed down through the generations. Their dishes were absurdly costly. A simple meal there would set a person back by at least one or two hundred thousand dollars.

Song Wan brought five or six different dishes. The price would not be low. It would cost her at least a million dollars for this meal which should have been a few thousand dollars. The Chu family was indeed wealthy. However, as wealthy as they were, they didn’t even lend a helping hand to their daughter-in-law’s family. Each time Mrs. Li thought of this, her well-meaning attitude would become harsh in an instant.

From time to time, she would say mean and sarcastic words, hinting at how she had wished Chu Lui could have helped the Lis’ business crisis. However, every time this happened, Song Wan would skillfully avoid the topic to prevent herself from making a decision on her son’s behalf.

Where business was concerned, she wouldn’t and couldn’t make the decisions. If her son wished to help, he would. If he didn’t, he must have a valid reason. He wouldn’t have his mother suffer by making her the middleman.

In truth, she had attempted to speak to her son about this, too. However, he told her he had plans regarding this matter, and she shouldn’t involve herself. Alas, she wasn’t able to do anything about it. She should continue to play dumb.

Mrs. Li’s face became more sullen when she didn’t get to ask the questions she had wanted to ask. Neither did she receive any assurance from Song Wan. Li Manni tugged at her mother’s sleeve, worried that her mother would speak more harshly and offend Song Wan. Her mother-in-law was the most amicable and reasonable person in the whole of the Chu family. Moreover, Song Wan had the highest status in the Chu family, too.

As long as she had Song Wan on her side, she would be able to achieve everything.

Mrs. Li was too upset, but she had to swallow her tongue and keep her mouth shut even though she was pulling a long face.

Song Wan put the food away and kept it. There was some soup left. Initially, she had wanted to throw the soup away, but once she recalled how pricey the food had cost her, she decided to keep the leftover for herself. Besides, no one had touched the soup. She didn’t have the habit of throwing food away regardless of how wealthy her family might be.

When Song Wan came out from the ward, she threw all the food away with the exception of a thermal flask in her arms which contained the soup. She spent hours boiling it, and yet no one had touched it.

She was going to walk out with the flask in her hand. However, she saw a tiny silhouette, and she started to follow it. She saw a little girl sitting on the chair in the waiting area. The girl had a beautiful doll in her arms. It looked old, but its clothes were clean from washing.

The child was very young, about two or three years old. Her tiny feet were dangling as she sat on the chair.

She raised her head. Her pink and tender tiny face resembled an apple which was extremely adorable and chubby.

“Hello, Rainy.”

Song Wan approached closer and squatted beside Rainy as she put on a bright smile.

“Hello, Granny.” Rainy greeted Song Wan obediently. One of her small hands was clutching onto her doll as she smiled bashfully at Song Wan. That little look was simply too appealing.

“Why are you sitting here alone?” Song Wan put the lunch box down and asked, worried. Why did such a young child come to a big place like this? Was she sick? Song Wan promptly laid her hand on the child’s forehead. Fortunately, there was no fever.

“I’m here for my injection.” Rainy raised her little elbow as she put on a brave look.

“Rainy is sick?” Song Wan became anxious. Was she really sick?

“Sick?” Rainy slanted her head. Then, she shook her head. “Granny, I’m not sick. I am cured. Mommy has brought me here for my injection, and I didn’t cry at all.

“Mommy said I am a brave child so how can I cry?”

“Where is your mother?” Song Wan was blaming the child’s parents. How could they leave her here alone? She looked so pretty. Weren’t they worried that someone might abduct her away?

“Mommy is there.” Rainy stretched her hand out and pointed in front of her. Song Wan followed her line of direction and realized the girl was gesturing towards the restroom.

She didn’t leave. On the contrary, she sat on the chair and waited along with Rainy for her mother to return.

“Hungry?” Song Wan remembered she had a bowl of soup with her so she poured it out and placed it in front of Rainy. “Can I feed you some? Look. I have so much, and I can’t finish it. Rainy, can you help me drink some? I will be very grateful.”

Rainy licked her lips. She wanted some.

“Granny, can I have some?” she asked cautiously. Her mother had told her not to accept things from other people.

“Of course.” Song Wan rubbed Rainy’s little head. “You are helping me by drinking more. An obedient child should help those in need. Right?”

“Yes.” Rainy nodded her head hard. “Then, I will help Granny to drink some.”

“I will thank you in advance.” Song Wan opened the lunch box and began to feed Rainy a spoonful at a time. However, she didn’t know why her heart was aching. She was exercising all her patience on a virtually unfamiliar child. Perhaps, it was because she was going to be a grandmother herself, and she was particularly fond of children.

Rainy had half a bowl of soup, and she felt full. She rubbed her hand over her tiny belly and burped.

Song Wan was embarrassed. It had been so long since she had fed a child. She had forgotten how small a child’s appetite was, too.

“Is it nice?” She wiped Rainy’s face using her sleeve. She was falling in love with the child’s big round eyes with well-defined black pupils. She was thinking about how good-looking the child was with her beautiful eyes and pretty features. When she was a grown woman, she would definitely be gorgeous.

“It’s delicious, Granny.” Rainy broke into a smile, and her eyes curved into a pair of crescents.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She slid down the chair and ran up to a beautiful woman, hugging her legs. At the same time, Song Wan could hear Rainy chattering away.
