Chapter 448: 128: She is the person I’m looking for! _4
Ni Yang squinted her eyes and didn’t stay on the second floor for too long, quickly returning to the third floor instead.
Shangguan Xu was accompanying Old Lady Shangguan.
When he saw Ni Yang approaching, he promptly ca forward and said, “Miss Ni, I can’t thank you enough for today. If it weren’t for you, my grandmother’s life might have been in danger.”
“It was nothing, no need to ntion it.” Ni Yang handed the report to Shangguan Xu, “Since you’re here now, I’ll be on my way.”
Shangguan Xu continued, “You’re leaving so soon? Why not join us for a al?”
Old Lady Shangguan chid in, “Xiaoxu is right, Yangyang, you did us a huge favor. It would be improper if you left without having a al.”
Ni Yang replied with a smile, “You’re being too kind, but I need to attend to a few things at my shop. Goodbye, Old Lady Shangguan, Mr. Shangguan.” With these words, Ni Yang turned and walked away.
Watching Ni Yang’s receding figure, Old Lady Shangguan remarked, “Yangyang is really a good child.”
Shangguan Xu watched Ni Yang’s retreating figure in silence.
Outside, the sun was bright and slightly scorching. As Ni Yang walked out of the Hospital, she unconsciously raised her hand to shield her forehead from the sun, allowing a sliver of light to penetrate through her fingers, casting a faint shadow on her curled eyelashes.
“Miss Ni, wait a mont.” A gentle male voice sounded behind her.
Ni Yang slightly turned her head, a wisp of hair swept past her lips. Under the sunlight, her clear and sparkling peach blossom eyes were utterly captivating.
This was the charm of a woman’s graceful turn and enchanting smile.
Shangguan Xu was briefly stunned. He approached Ni Yang and handed her a hundred yuan note, “I forgot to give you the fee for the dicine and registration.”
Ni Yang reached out to accept it, smiling, “Actually, you didn’t have to bother coming all the way here. Old Lady Shangguan and I et often.”
Shangguan Xu said, “My grandmother has poor mory and feared she might forget, which is why she asked to deliver this to you.”
Ni Yang flashed a small smile, “It’s just a small amount of money, it wouldn’t matter even if she forgot.”
“How could that be?” Shangguan Xu continued, “You’ve already helped my grandmother so much, it’s only proper to compensate you for the dical expenses. By the way, did you co on foot? Could I offer you a ride ho?”
Ni Yang declined with a smile, “Thank you but there’s no need, my bike is parked not far from here.”
With his handso features, distinguished background, and the prestigious position he held, few won would reject Shangguan Xu.
Yet, Ni Yang was one of those rare few.
Shangguan Xu, who had planned to drive Ni Yang ho, was taken aback. He hesitated for a mont, before saying, “Okay, please be careful on your way.”
Ni Yang nodded slightly, “I will, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” Shangguan Xu waved at her before turning around to walk back into the hospital.
When he returned alone, Old Lady Shangguan asked unhappily, “Why did you co back alone? Didn’t I ask you to accompany Yangyang ho?”
Shangguan Xu replied, “She ca on her bicycle, so there was no need for to send her.”
Old Lady Shangguan shook her head in frustration, “You really… ”
This grandson of hers was beyond help. He didn’t seize opportunities, even laid in front of him. No wonder he was still alone.
Shangguan Xu changed the subject, “By the way, where’s Xiaoxi? Isn’t she usually the one who accompanies you on these outings?”
Old Lady Shangguan replied, “Xiaoxi went to the mall with your father.”
Xiaoxi went to the mall with dad?” Shangguan Xu asked, taken aback.
“Your Aunt Lin and her daughter Chang Yue are also with them.” Old Lady Shangguan continued, “Your dad gets along well with your Aunt Lin who has a daughter four years younger than Xiaoxi. Today’s outing was mainly to see if Xiaoxi and Chang Yue could get along.”
Despite not having t Lin Fang, Old Lady Shangguan already had a favorable impression of her.
After all, Lin Fang had been introduced by one of their own.
“What does Aunt Lin do?” Shangguan Xu asked.
Old Lady Shangguan replied, “She is in the education industry, a kindergarten teacher.”
Shangguan Xu nodded, “She must have a lot of love to give.” The Shangguan family was renowned, so even though they were considering a second marriage, they couldn’t settle for soone diocre. A profession like a teacher was ideal as it imdiately gave the impression of an understanding and empathetic person.
It also lent respectability.
Old Lady Shangguan continued, “She’s also of good character. I’ve heard that after her ex-husband passed away years ago, she kept painstakingly looking after her paralyzed mother-in-law. She is a rare gem of a daughter-in-law.”
