Chapter 290: He… Actually, He Has Been Quite Concerned About You (2)
....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“There’s no need for you to check. Old Master has already hired a doctor for me. His medical skills are very high and comes to treat me every day. You’re still a newlywed, so you have many things to do. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Jiang Yining couldn’t feel Shen Man’s pulse, but judging from her expression, she could guess a few things.
“If Mom doesn’t let me check, then I won’t check. This time, I brought back a lot of expensive medicinal herbs, all of which are used to nourish the body. Later, 1’11 have someone to send it over for you.”
“Keep it for yourself. Don’t waste it on me.”
“No, Mom, you must take them. Otherwise, 1’11 think that you don’t like me anymore,” Jiang Yining said coquettishly.
Shen Man sighed and said helplessly, “You child… How could I not like you?”
“Hehe, I knew you liked me the most.”
Jiang Yining said with a smile.
Lu Zhi looked at the intimate scene between the two of them and a complicated feeling flashed across his heart.
He stood there for a moment and asked the servant beside him, “Has she taken her medicine today?”
“Madam took half of it just now and found it bitter, so she asked us to leave it aside and refused to take it again.”
The servant answered honestly.
“Go heat it up and bring it over for her.”
“Yes.”
Not long after the servant went out, she returned.
She held the medicine in her hand.
She approached Shen Man and said, “Madam, it’s time for you to take your medicine.”
“Put it aside to cool down. I’ll drink it when it’s warm.” Shen Man tried to dismiss.
The maid said, “This is already warm. Young Master instructed me to supervise you to drink the medicine.”
Shen Man looked at Lu Zhi in surprise when she heard this.
However, Lu Zhi avoided her gaze and looked elsewhere.
The light in her eyes dimmed slightly.
Jiang Yining advised, “Mom, you’d better drink your medicine obediently. Don’t make us worry about you.”
“Okay.”
Shen Man felt warmth in her heart.
Even though Ah Zhi continued to treat her coldly, it was better than before.
At least, he cared about her now.
All of this was thanks to Yining.
Shen Man scooped up the medicine with a spoon and put it into her mouth.
The bitter taste spread in her mouth, but she didn’t feel it at all.
As long as her son was willing to pay attention to her.
Then, it was sweet.
Shen Man drank it sip by sip, and tears fell unconsciously.
Jiang Yining figured out why and, understandingly, took a tissue to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Then she handed two sweet dates to her and smiled as she said, “Mom, you’re already this old. Why are you still crying from taking medicine? You’re really becoming more and more like a child.”
Shen Man broke into a smile, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Finally, after coaxing Shen Man to finish her medicine, Jiang Yining gave her the gift she had brought back for her.
Shen Man opened the gift box expectantly and saw what was inside.
She couldn’t help but be stunned.
“This is…”
“We went to Sweden for our honeymoon and coincidentally bumped into All Zhi’s grandfather. He warmly invited us to the House of Manchester. Mom, this is the gift Grandpa asked me to give you before we leave. I’ll borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha as my souvenir to you.”
Jiang Yining finished her words with a pout.
The tears that Shen Man had just held back gushed out.
She hugged the gift tightly and sobbed, “Thank you. Yining, thank you so much.”
It had been more than thirty years since she had cut ties with her father.
She thought that her father would never pay attention to her again.
She didn’t expect to receive a gift from him in her lifetime.
Shen Man thanked Jiang Yining from the bottom of her heart.
“Mom, I hope you don’t blame me for not preparing a separate gift for you. If you thank me again, I’ll feel embarrassed.” Jiang Yining said as she pulled Lu Zhi and added, “Ah Zhi, tell Mom what Grandpa told you. Don’t stand there like a block of wood.”
Her tone was like a young couple who were used to living together.
Lu Zhi’s pitch-black eyes were fixed on Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining had a smile on her face, pretending not to notice his anger.
After a moment of stalemate, Lu Zhi calmly spoke, “Grandpa asked if you were doing well. He… Actually, he has been quite concerned about you. If you have time, you should go back and see him more.”
Mr. Manchester had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and he wouldn’t be able to live much longer.
No matter how skilled the doctor was or how much money he had, nothing could save his life.
No matter how much he disliked his mother, he didn’t want his grandfather to be unable to see his daughter before he died.
Shen Man’s face twitched, and her tears flowed like a fountain.
The hand that gripped the blanket was so strong that it was almost deformed.
She had let her father down.
Back then, her father had told her that the Lu family was unreliable.
The person she liked was not a good match.
She didn’t listen, thought that her father only cared about the family’s interests, and wanted to marry her off to someone else…
Therefore, she gave it her all… Even if she had to cut ties with her family, she would still marry far away.
Later on, everything her father said came true.
She had faced the consequences.
She had thought about going back to her father, reconciling with him, and begging for his forgiveness.
However, she was too ashamed to face him.
Shen Man truly regretted, deeply regretted…
Jiang Yining saw how sad Shen Man was and hugged her gently. “Mom, let’s go back to Sweden together when we have time.”
“Yes, okay.”
Shen Man’s voice trembled, and she couldn’t complete her sentence.
Jiang Yining wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “Mom, don’t be too worked up. You’re still sick. It’s not advisable to get too emotional.”
Shen Man nodded and endured for a long time.
Only then did she stop her tears.
After that, she entrusted the gifts from Mr. Manchester to the servants for safekeeping.
She then said to Jiang Yining, “Oh right, it’s the Old Madam and Old Master’s wedding anniversary in two days. I know that Old Madam was too biased towards Kexin before and hurt your heart. However, she had given birth to the Old Master’s children and contributed so much to the Lu family… It’s not right to keep her estranged.. Why don’t we take advantage of this anniversary to bring her back?”
