"Whether it's useful, we'll know when Mingjue wakes up," the old lady said disdainfully, motioning for Di Jianhan to remove his hand.
The machines beside them beeped, and Di Mingjue lay on the bed, looking docile.
The old lady still had some confidence in the success, after all, Jiang Ziyu had previously cured Di Mingjue's eyes.
Thinking of this, she looked around.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Di Jianhan asked.
The old lady withdrew her gaze. "Where is Ziyu?"
The surgery was done, why hadn't she shown up?
Di Jianhan's expression turned grim. "Sisi will be back soon with Mingjue's change of clothes. She takes good care of people, definitely better than that one."
As he said this, Jiang Ziyu, who was about to enter the ward, stopped. The hand she had raised fell, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
It seemed her decision to leave was the right one!
To avoid any awkwardness, Jiang Ziyu left the ward before Lu Sisi arrived.
Lu Sisi, carrying large bags, entered the ward, looking travel-worn, led by a nurse.
The old lady glanced at her without a word.
"Sisi is here," Di Jianhan greeted enthusiastically. "Why didn't you let the servants help you carry so many things?"
His palm, opened as if unintentionally, bore red marks from the plastic bags, which Di Jianhan happened to see.
Embarrassed, Lu Sisi tightened her fist and quickly put her arm behind her back. "It's nothing, I was afraid Brother Mingjue would need them and didn't want to waste time."
"Good child, it's our Di family's great fortune to have you marry Mingjue," Di Jianhan praised.
The old lady, hearing these words, felt strangely uncomfortable. She glanced at Di Mingjue, still under anesthesia, picked up her cane, and had the butler help her up from the chair.
Seeing her approach, Lu Sisi eagerly stepped forward. "Grandma, where are you going? I'll help you."
She extended her arm.
The old lady subtly shifted her body and looked at Di Jianhan. "I'm going out for a walk. Come and tell me when Mingjue wakes up."
"Mom, there are too many people in this hospital, where are you going?" Di Jianhan was unwilling for her to go out.
If someone with ulterior motives took pictures and spread them online, reporters would flock to the hospital, deliberately taking photos.
The old lady understood his anxiety, but she was also unwilling to compromise and stay in the ward with them. "I'm going to look for that girl Ziyu."
Since they had clarified their relationship, the old lady hadn't seen her for some time. Although she was a granddaughter-in-law by marriage, the old lady had a particularly good impression of her.
Unable to stop the old lady, Di Jianhan had to compromise. However, he had one request: Lu Sisi must accompany her. The pretext was concern for the old lady, but in reality, he feared that if the two were alone, Jiang Ziyu might scheme and manipulate the old lady.
Having finally managed to get out of the Di residence, Di Jianhan was very afraid they would return.
Lu Sisi, instead of the butler, helped the old lady out of the ward. There were few people on the VIP floor, and the nurses were diligent and dared not discuss the patients in the VIP ward.
Walking down the quiet corridor, Lu Sisi looked at the door signs.
"Grandma, it should be here."
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Ziyu's voice came from inside.
"She has someone to take care of her, she doesn't need me."
"Are you willing to let an unprofessional person watch her?"
"What's there to be unwilling about? We have a transactional relationship. I healed his leg, and he will repay me as agreed. Once everything goes smoothly, we will have no further connection."
Peter clucked twice, listening to Jiang Ziyu's heartless words and looking at her visibly unhappy expression.
Jiang Ziyu didn't want to discuss the topic further and got up to leave. As she opened the door, she looked at the old lady and Lu Sisi outside in surprise. After regaining her composure, she also noticed the strange expressions on their faces.
