Chapter 680: Chapter 680: The Old Lady Should Retire
Sheng Shaochen thought that Du Shiniang was lying, but when he arrived at the Sheng Mansion, he found out that the Old Lady was indeed sick, her eyes red and swollen, and her body considerably thinner.
Looking at the woman before him, who had gritted her teeth through storms for the sake of the Sheng Family, a hint of guilt couldn’t help but well up in Sheng Shaochen’s heart.
"Doctor, what’s my grandmother’s condition now?"
"Young Master Achen, the Old Madam’s suppressed emotions have turned into an illness, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood, which is why many old ailments have flared up."
"Suppressed emotions turned into illness?" Sheng Shaochen grabbed the doctor, "Explain clearly!"
The private doctor quickly explained, "Young Master Achen, simply put, it means that due to a bad mood, the emotions have led to illness!"
"Take good care of my grandmother. Whatever is needed, just ask." After speaking, Sheng Shaochen strode out.
"Yes, understood, Young Master Achen. I will do my best to help the Old Madam recover as soon as possible."
After Sheng Shaochen came out of the Old Lady’s sickroom, he happened to meet his mother Bai Yueru.
"Son, come here!" Bai Yueru pulled Sheng Shaochen into her room and closed the door, "Son, what’s going on between you and Xiao Shu now?"
Seeing the cautious look on his mother’s face, Sheng Shaochen tentatively asked, "Mom, do you have something you want to tell me?"
"Ah!" After sighing, Bai Yueru mustered the courage to say, "Son, I’m sorry. Seeing the pain you went through trying to remember those memories, I kept the matter between you and Ye Shu from you. Now I’m telling you, Ye Shu is a very outstanding and good girl; you two were very much in love before!"
"Oh? No wonder I have so many intimate photos with her!" Sheng Shaochen muttered to himself, "It’s just a pity that I can’t remember any of those past events with her."
"You’re being silly. Don’t dwell on whether you remember or not. What’s important is that you two were really close before, and you like her a lot now, don’t you? That’s enough. Pretend you’ve met a brand-new Ye Shu and pursue her all over again, isn’t that fine? Let me tell you, you’d better take advantage of your grandmother’s illness to win Xiao Shu back, otherwise, once your grandmother gets better, she’ll probably start interfering again."
Sheng Shaochen said, "Mom, can you tell me why grandmother opposes my relationship with Ye Shu? Did Ye Shu do something unforgivable to her?"
"Do you not remember that either? It wasn’t Ye Shu’s fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s the grudges from the last generation that your grandmother has held against Ye Shu. Sigh, actually, I don’t remember those musty old issues very well. All I want is for you young people to be well; that’s enough for me."
"It’s fine, mom. I know what to do." Having said this, Sheng Shaochen made a phone call, "Guan Jiu, come in right away!"
Bai Yueru, thinking he was going to do something, said, "Son, although I told you to coax Xiao Shu back now, it doesn’t mean you should openly defy your grandmother. Do you understand? Although she might have gone too far in some matters, she is still your grandmother. If it hadn’t been for her holding up the entire Sheng Family back in the day, we wouldn’t have what we have today, so please don’t let your grandmother know, okay?"
Sheng Shaochen replied, "Don’t worry, mom. Grandmother is indeed getting on in years, and it’s time for her to stay home and enjoy her twilight years in peace."
