My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 100: Where is that Little Girl?

"However, Shuyan has been away for so long before coming back, and I don’t know if he got hurt," the old master said while pretending to casually pay close attention to Xu Jingmin’s reaction, "Anyway, I heard from that kid Qi Sishenn that Shuyan disappeared because he was injured. As for how severe the injury is, that kid wouldn’t tell me. It must be because Shuyan didn’t let him. If Shuyan wanted to keep it secret, I’m guessing the injuries weren’t light, and he was afraid we’d worry."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingmin immediately became restless, "Dad, how did he look when you saw him just now?"

"Ouch, how would I know?" The old master said with a troubled face, "I’m getting on in years, my eyesight isn’t good. I can’t even see clearly during the day, let alone at night, and the lighting was not very good either."

"Plus, you know how sensible that kid Shuyan is. Since he’s afraid of us worrying, he’d pretend there were no injuries even if there were, right in front of us," the old master shook his head and said, "We should really check on him up close to be sure!"

Aunt Yao quickly followed up, "Yes, madam, what if the young master is injured and it hasn’t healed yet, and he’s still standing outside waiting? He’s afraid of worrying you and won’t say anything, just bearing it all by himself..."

Xu Jingmin suddenly became worried, "Then... then let’s hurry and open the door." freёnovelkiss.com

"Eh!" Afraid that Xu Jingmin might change her mind, Aunt Yao’s "eh" had barely landed before she swiftly opened the door, "Young master, the madam is inviting you in."

Zhou Shuyan didn’t dare delay, afraid that if he was a moment late, the gate might close again.

He quickly returned to the car, drove into the courtyard at speed, and parked before climbing the steps to the villa entrance.

Aunt Yao was already waiting at the door.

Zhou Shuyan entered the vestibule, changed into slippers, and then came in.

"Mom, Grandpa," Zhou Shuyan called out.

Xu Jingmin couldn’t be angry at this point; she came forward to squeeze Zhou Shuyan’s shoulders and arms, "Did you get hurt?"

"I had been injured before, but it has long healed," Zhou Shuyan said with a sniff and a smile, "Has Aunt Yao finished cooking?"

Xu Jingmin gave him a sideways glance, "Changing the subject again. Alright, go eat; you can tell me while we eat."

Zhou Shuyan quickly washed his hands and entered the dining room.

The old master and Xu Jingmin were already seated, waiting.

After Aunt Yao had served them rice and soup, she sat down with them.

"Now can you tell us what exactly happened to you?" Xu Jingming asked.

Xu Jingming definitely wanted to know the details about the incident involving Zhou Shuyan.

"I was in a car accident; it was intentional," Zhou Shuyan explained briefly.

Xu Jingmin gasped and stood up hurriedly, wanting to check on Zhou Shuyan’s injuries again.

"Mom, I’m fine now," Zhou Shuyan stopped her, "At the time, I was left on the side of the road in Hexing Village. Hexing Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of Fengnan City. Fortunately, I was discovered by Grandma Xu and Lu... a young girl, who took me to the hospital."

"I was recuperating in Hexing Village while contacting Qi Sishenn to investigate the situation in Imperial Capital. When I found out that Chengzhou had been taken over by my second uncle, I didn’t come back immediately. I needed to wrap up the investigation before I could return."

"While I was in Hexing Village, I only dared to contact Qi Sishenn. If you were home, you would definitely be watched, and Qi Sishenn would very likely be watched too. But Qi Sishenn has more ways to deal with it, and you have many constraints here. That’s why I could only contact him. At least before I returned, I couldn’t let anyone know where I was."

Xu Jingmin understood what Zhou Shuyan meant, but her focus was elsewhere now, "Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious car accident!"

"How are you now? Did you have any lingering effects? Are the injuries completely healed?" Xu Jingmin was both angry and anxious as she bombarded him with questions.

She was angry that Zhou Shuyan had an accident and she didn’t know about it, and anxious that she couldn’t help at all when it happened.

"I’ve been fine for a while. I was found in time and recovered well. Now I’m completely healthy," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile, "I can eat, drink, sleep. Also, it’s probably because the air in the village is good. The food is all naturally grown in the village, even the eggs are from home-raised chickens, and the water comes from the well. It’s very sweet, so both physically and mentally, I’ve made a very good recovery."

Xu Jingmin saw that Zhou Shuyan seemed to be in good spirits and looked healthy – not at all unwell.

Her son was grown up; she couldn’t exactly strip him to check, "Then you should still go to the hospital for a physical examination, right?"

"You said you stayed in the village before, and the medical conditions there must have been inadequate," Xu Jingmin said, "You should go for a comprehensive physical exam at the hospital to be more assured."

To reassure Xu Jingmin, Zhou Shuyan readily agreed, "Okay, I’ll go on Saturday."

It was good that Zhou Shuyan agreed; her son was a workaholic.

And with a pile of company matters to deal with, Xu Jingmin didn’t press him to go the very next day.

"And about Grandma Xu and that young girl you mentioned... since they saved you, we definitely need to thank them," Xu Jingmin considered for a moment, "What’s their current situation? We should choose a way to repay them based on their actual circumstances."

For those who had saved her son’s life, Xu Jingmin didn’t want to just give money and be done with it.

Thinking it would be best to look at their actual living conditions to see where they might need help, that would be the utmost help they could provide.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and said, "Grandma Xu is a very wise old lady. Her children work in the city, and she lives in the village by herself. Although she’s not wealthy, Grandma Xu has never been one to insist on living extravagantly and is quite content. Right now, I don’t know how to repay her. It seems rash to just offer her something superficial as gratitude for saving my life. Moreover, Grandma Xu has never mentioned wanting anything in return. So I’ve already arranged for someone to keep an eye on her living conditions there and as soon as there’s something I can help with, I’ll be ready to lend a hand."

Xu Jingmin thought about it and agreed, "A life-saving grace is worth being grateful for a lifetime. What about the young girl?"

"She just got accepted into Jing University. She came to Imperial Capital with me this time, and should be at Jing University right now," Zhou Shuyan didn’t hide anything.

Since Xu Jingmin and the old master knew about Zhou Shuyan’s ordeal in Hexing Village, even if he didn’t go into detail, they would investigate themselves, and how could they not find out about Lu Youxi?

"She even got into Jing University!" exclaimed Xu Jingmin, "It’s difficult for a rural child to compare with city kids in educational conditions, yet she was able to get into university, and even Jing University. She’s a very outstanding and hardworking girl."
