Yu Wanqing sobbed a bit, tears welled up once more.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."
...
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
According to Xia Yinian’s plan, she originally intended to stay at the Feng Family for three or four days before returning.
Feng Yan kept giving her new tasks, and she couldn’t refuse, so she stayed for a week.
Besides spending ti on alchemy and working out with Leng Zhishuo, Xia Yinian also made sure to do one little thing that helped her relieve tension.
That was to send a ssage to Gu Beicheng every ti before eating, reminding him to eat.
Occasionally receiving a reply from the man made her mood particularly good.
Not receiving a reply made her a bit uneasy, but she wouldn’t feel bad. Uncle was very busy; as long as he rembered to eat, that was enough.
After giving Grandpa a massage, Xia Yinian returned to her room.
She lay on the bed, pondering for a while before dialing a phone number.
The phone rang for a while before the person answered.
"Hello." Xia Yinian bit her lip and spoke softly.
"What’s up?"
The man’s voice ca through the electronic device, different yet familiar to Xia Yinian.
"Are you... very busy?" Xia Yinian asked softly.
She seed to hear a bit of urgency in his voice.
"Hmm, a little." Gu Beicheng nodded in response.
"Then I won’t bother you anymore, just wanted to tell you to rest early." With that, Xia Yinian hung up the call.
She knew he was busy. No matter the ti, she just wanted to hear his voice, which was why she dared to call; usually, she would just send ssages.
Moreover, she had many questions she wanted to ask. A few days ago, she called Grandma but got no answer. She didn’t know how Grandma was doing now.
There was always a sense of foreboding in her heart, but Xia Yinian dared not call again.
If Grandma missed her, she would surely call.
Previously, it was mostly Grandma calling her, but since leaving Feng Residence, Grandma hadn’t called her at all.
Did Grandma really choose to trust Yu Wanqing and not believe Uncle? Thinking that the Old Madam might not like her anymore, Xia Yinian felt uneasy.
The whole week was calm, which oddly made Xia Yinian feel uneasy, without knowing why.
The Third Young Master said Xia Chuxue was sent away for study, and none of the other Xia Family mbers appeared at the Feng Family. Xia Yinian didn’t know the specifics and didn’t inquire further.
These days, besides focusing on Grandpa and Grandma’s illnesses, Xia Yinian and Leng Zhishuo were also working on matters of the Costic Group.
She even wondered if Uncle intentionally wanted her to stay.
If it was just about the Costic Group, she wouldn’t mind, as she didn’t care about easing his burden.
But was everything really as simple as it seed?
With so many questions in mind and no one to ask, she felt uneasy.
Xia Yinian held her phone, tossing and turning in bed for quite a while before falling asleep.
In a hazy state, she seed to feel a familiar presence, prompting her to open her eyes imdiately.
In view was a pair of eyes as bright as black gems, Xia Yinian rubbed her eyes, sitting up imdiately.
"U-Uncle." She swallowed hard, completely unable to believe what she saw.
Taking a deep breath, she reached out her jade-like fingers to touch his face.
"Is it really you? Am I dreaming?" Glancing around, this indeed was the Feng Family.
