After letting Grandma Zhang rest in peace, everyone left the graveyard. Zhong Zhe brought Jiang Yu back to the Zhong family, and Mo Zhu followed Chen Man to the Huo family’s mansion.
It was already noon when they returned to the Huo residence. Chen Man personally cooked a few dishes and after she served them on the dining table, everyone sat in the dining room and started eating.
Seeing that Mo Zhu was not in a good mood and looked like she had a lot on her mind, Chen Man was a little worried about her. She raised her hand and picked up some vegetables for the girl. Chen Man said softly, “Xiao Zhu, you’ve just returned from Beijing and you’ve experienced this. I understand how you feel now. You are tired these few days too. I’ll apply for a few days off from school for you. Let’s rest at home for a few days and take it as a break.”
After a pause, considering that Mo Zhu was facing the problem of having a heavy workload and the upcoming yearly school advancement, Chen Man added, “Good child, you just have to relax. You don’t have to worry about your results. If you can’t get into a good school, I’ll get your uncle to arrange a similar private school for you to study in first. If you want, you can retake your year in school too.”
Seeing how concerned Chen Man was about her, Mo Zhu suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Ever since she came to Cloud City and left her grandmother’s side, she had felt few good intentions from the others in the society. Besides the friends in school, only the elders of the Huo family had been genuinely kind to her.
Mo Zhu looked up and smiled at Chen Man as she replied plainly, “Thank you for caring so much about me, Auntie. I’m fine. You don’t have to specially ask for leave from school. I’ll go to class tomorrow.”
Chen Man knew that Mo Zhu was brave and strong, but no matter how independent she was, she was still a young girl in her teens. Even an adult would have to take a while to get over it when they encounter such a situation, let alone Mo Zhu, who had not even left school.
Chen Man frowned. She lowered her eyes and looked at Mo Zhu worriedly. “Xiao Zhu, I know that you’re a good child and you don’t want everyone to worry, but…”
Before the woman could finish, she was interrupted by Mo Zhu. “Auntie, I’m really fine. Besides, before my death, my grandmother had instructed me to study hard. This is also her wish.”
When Chen Man heard this, she nodded lightly. “Alright, then you have to take good care of your body. If there’s any special situation or anything you need help with, let Xuan’er know!”
Everyone had something on their minds and they ate very quickly. After dinner, Mo Zhu was a little tired and took the initiative to go upstairs to rest. Chen Man did not stop her, instead, she tidied up the kitchen while instructing her not to let her thoughts run wild.
Just as Mo Zhu went upstairs, the doorbell of the Huo family’s mansion suddenly rang. Huo Xuan stood up and went straight to the door to open it for the person who came. Xu Huan’s face instantly appeared at the entrance.
A moment later, the two of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. Xu Huan took the initiative to ask, “Brother Huo, why don’t I see Little Bamboo? Is she doing alright?”
Huo Xuan looked up at Xu Huan indifferently and replied softly, “She’s still the same. This girl hides her emotions well, I can’t see anything from her face.”
When Xu Huan heard this, he nodded in agreement. He pinched the space between his eyebrows worriedly and said, “She and Grandma Zhang had relied on each other since she was young. Now that Grandma Zhang has suddenly passed away due to such a matter, I’m a little afraid that she will keep her emotions to herself. And after a few days of staying silent, she would suddenly take action and do something big.”
Huo Xuan’s gaze moved from the coffee table to the corridor on the second floor as he stared thoughtfully at Mo Zhu’s door.
Xu Huan glanced at the man. He didn’t know what Huo Xuan was thinking about, but he suddenly recalled something. He frowned and said in a low voice, “Brother Huo, there’s some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate. However, the other party has a strong background and is quite skillful. I’m afraid it will take some effort to investigate more carefully!”
Huo Xuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. “What did you find?”
“All the patients in the hospital used the special medicine in order that day. Originally, Grandma Zhang should have been the first one in the morning, but for some reason, someone had secretly changed the order and shifted her to the last in the queue in the afternoon..” Xu Huan’s voice sounded fierce.
