70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 412: Grandpa Is Sick
Huo Qingze was summoned back to the Huo Family. After hearing his father’s words, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"I’m not planning to enter the system." Huo Qingze said coolly.
"What did you say?" Mr. Huo’s face instantly turned ugly. He had been domineering all his life, and his son’s sudden lack of control made him very angry.
"I’m not planning to go into politics. I have my own things to do. Go find your other son." Huo Qingze said coldly, now feeling impatient even talking to him.
The father and son had an unhappy argument here, and Huo Qingze directly took all his belongings from the Huo Family, making it a spectacle for the people in the compound.
Xu Mumu and the others didn’t know about the uproar at the Huo Family. Xu Mumu was helping Yin Yang pack his clothes, as he was leaving.
"Remember to protect yourself." Xu Mumu said while folding Yin Yang’s clothes, feeling really uneasy.
"I’m not bad at it myself. Don’t worry, there are bodyguards." Yin Yang said helplessly. Although he wasn’t as strong as Xu Mumu, he grew up training too, okay? At least he’s much stronger than ordinary people, and even if it comes to a fight, he can protect himself.
"I’m just worried, I’m afraid those people have weapons." Xu Mumu pouted.
"Don’t worry, I have them too. You stay home and wait for me to come back, and after some time, we’ll have the wedding." Yin Yang pinched Xu Mumu’s cheek.
"If you don’t come back in one piece, I’ll marry someone else, hmph." Xu Mumu glanced at Yin Yang.
"Threatening me, huh?" Yin Yang’s voice slightly rose, full of allure.
"Exactly." Xu Mumu held her head up proudly.
Looking at Xu Mumu’s pouting red lips, Yin Yang felt her lips were particularly tempting, like jelly, and he really wanted to take a bite.
When Xu Mumu came out of Yin Yang’s room, her lips were a bit swollen. Fortunately, it was already evening, and Madam Chen and the others had gone back to their rooms to rest.
Lying in bed, Xu Mumu couldn’t sleep. Memories of the scene just now kept surfacing in her mind. She really felt Yin Yang’s passion and knew he wanted to get married soon.
It’s been almost three years since she came to this world, and time has passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Xu Mumu got up. Yin Yang was leaving early today.
After breakfast, two men in black came over, taking Yin Yang’s luggage with them.
Xu Mumu couldn’t resist taking a more careful look at the two men. Their demeanor was strong, and they had calluses on their fingers, left from frequently handling various weapons. Moreover, both carried weapons. The fact that Yin Yang could find such people to work as bodyguards somewhat relieved her.
"I’m leaving. Help me take good care of Grandpa at home." Yin Yang said warmly.
"Don’t worry, I will. Be careful and give us a call when you arrive." Xu Mumu said seriously, feeling reluctant. They would be apart for at least half a month, hoping Yin Yang would quickly finish what he had to do there.
Yin Yang got into the car driven by Zhou Yunhong and didn’t let Xu Mumu and the others send him to the airport.
"Mumu, don’t worry, nothing will happen. He’s gone abroad several times already." Professor Song came to comfort Xu Mumu, even before she could offer him any comfort.
"Sir Song, I know, I believe in him." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
Madam Chen and Old Xu were a bit silent. Going abroad, this grandson-in-law seemed to be even more capable than they thought.
But with these international ties, they still felt a bit worried.
However, Madam Chen and the others didn’t say anything. Now that things had come this far, with the two of them about to get married, saying anything else was meaningless. They could only help cover up as much as possible. No wonder Yin Yang was so wealthy.
To shift attention, Madam Chen directly went to check on the study progress of a few kids back home.
As for Xu Mumu, she started tinkering with her pile of things next door. Keeping busy meant less time to miss Yin Yang.
Back home, a few of them had passed the school selection. Next semester there would be a joint speech contest, and winning an award would qualify them for provincial competitions.
Compared to several schools in the county, Xu Mumu had great confidence in them. Her younger siblings had true skills. Even after she came to the Imperial City, they learned well on their own without much oversight from her.
Moreover, after skipping grades, they hadn’t shown any signs of not adapting, proving they had a solid foundation.
While Xu Mumu was busy, Madam Chen took the family out to play every day without any incidents, leaving Xu Mumu reassured.
During Xu Mumu’s busy period, she received a call from Li Caixia, saying that Grandpa was ill, and quite seriously at that.
Grandpa was no longer young, and this time he caught a cold and fever, making things rather serious.
Xu Mumu felt a bit worried. Xu Minghui and Xu Minglei went back home to check on Grandpa, but Xu Mumu was busy, so she wasn’t planning to go back for now.
So she went to the department store with Madam Chen, bought a pile of nutritional products, and even got custom-made clothes for Grandpa to send back home.
At the post office, the staff there gave her several looks, feeling the girl seemed familiar, like they had seen her a few times. Each time she came to send things, she sent a lot.
In the end, they didn’t say anything. After Xu Mumu paid, they packaged up the items and put them away.
"Why did that person look at you weirdly just now? Do you know them?" Madam Chen couldn’t resist asking.
"I don’t know him, but that young man has received my packages several times, always sending them back home. I’ve sent quite a lot, so I guess he remembers me." Xu Mumu said with a smile. She had a pretty good impression; this person usually handled her packages.
"That’s good then." Madam Chen was immediately relieved. Indeed, Xu Mumu often sent back quite a lot of stuff at once, leaving her rather helpless, thinking her granddaughter spends money as if it were water, if that’s a way to put it.
When they returned home, Professor Song was sitting in the yard talking to Old Xu. At this time, Professor Jian was at the school doing experiments. He had opened a new project and was doing it with several students.
When Xu Mumu came back, Professor Song laughed and told her about the dean’s visit earlier.
After hearing what Professor Song said, Xu Mumu was silent. She never expected the dean would go this far. Last time, when she corrected the dean’s erroneous experimental steps, his experiment succeeded, and a paper was published, with Xu Mumu’s name conspicuously listed.
Such an honor, Xu Mumu thought, the dean was really generous. Opportunities like this aren’t just given to anyone.
