Chapter 557 How to Refuse
Seeing the little guy's expression, Aunt Dong knew he was waiting for her to answer the phone, so she didn't delay any longer and said, "I'll answer the phone right away. Put it on speakerphone so the young master can talk to Aunt Zhou Yi."
After finishing speaking, he answered the phone and pressed speakerphone.
Jinlan Hospital.
Zhou Yi walked into the hospital, patiently listening to the beeping sound coming from her phone.
The call connected on the fifth beep. Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Aunt Dong, is Yu Yu awake?"
Zhou Yi's gentle, smiling voice came from the nursery, and the little one immediately exclaimed, "Ya ya! Ya ya!"
It's as if it's saying: Wake up, wake up, I'm awake!
Hearing the excited voice, Zhou Yi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Yu Yu, you're awake? Aunt Zhou Yi was just wondering if you were awake, so I called Grandma Dong~"
The little one said, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
She clapped her hands as she spoke, looking very happy.
The little guy was so happy that Wenren Teng couldn't stop smiling. He picked up the little guy and sat him on the sofa, letting him talk to Zhou Yi peacefully on the phone.
Hearing Zhou Yi's voice, Sheng Mingying smiled and sat down on the sofa next to her.
The little one's happy voice came from the phone, and Zhou Yi smiled broadly, saying, "Yu Yu, did you just wake up? Did you drink any milk?"
The little one's big eyes immediately fell on the baby bottle in Aunt Dong's hand, and he said, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
Aunt Dong said, "Young Madam, not yet. I just finished getting the young master ready when your call came in. As soon as the young master heard the phone ring, he knew it was you and wanted to talk to you."
Zhou Yi hurriedly said, "Yu Yu, drink your milk first, or you'll be hungry."
"Aunt Dong, could you please feed Yuyu some milk first? Yuyu has been sleeping for so long, he must be hungry."
Sheng Mingying looked at the baby bottle in Aunt Dong's hand and said, "Give it to me."
"Yes, madam."
Sheng Mingying took the bottle, and Wenrenteng said, "Mingying, let me feed Yuyu."
Sheng Mingying didn't argue with Wenren Teng, and gave the baby bottle to Wenren Teng.
Wenrenteng took the bottle, and Aunt Dong quickly put a bib on the little guy. Soon, the little guy was sucking on the nipple and drinking.
However, while drinking his milk, he kept staring at the phone that Aunt Dong was holding.
Hearing the sounds coming from this side, Zhou Yi asked, "Mom, did Yuyu drink her milk?"
Sheng Mingying laughed and said, "I'm drinking, and I'm looking at my phone while I drink."
Zhou Yi smiled: "Okay, Yu Yu, drink your milk first. Aunt Zhou Yi will talk to you after your grandma has finished drinking."
Upon hearing Zhou Yi's voice, the little one immediately spat out the pacifier and said, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
As soon as the little guy spat out the pacifier, milk instantly flowed out of the pacifier, out of his mouth, and onto his chin.
Wenren Teng quickly said, "Oh dear! You little thing, you'll choke!"
I took a bib and wiped him.
The little guy didn't care about anything else; he just kept looking at the phone and talking to Zhou Yi: "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
Upon hearing Wenren Teng's words, Zhou Yi knew what the little one had done. She said helplessly, "Yu Yu, drink your milk obediently. Aunt Zhou Yi will talk to you in a bit, okay?"
The little one said, "Ya ya~ ya ya~"
As she spoke, her little hand reached for the bottle, and she opened her mouth to suck on the nipple, showing how obedient she was to Zhou Yi.
Wenren Teng looked at the clever little thing helplessly, fed him the pacifier and said, "Drink milk first, then talk. Your Aunt Zhou Yi is waiting for you, no rush."
The little guy sucked on the pacifier and continued drinking his milk, his big eyes fixed on the phone, not looking at anything else.
It's as if the cell phone is Zhou Yi.
Looking at the little guy's appearance, Sheng Mingying smiled and reached out to Aunt Dong.
Aunt Dong understood what Sheng Mingying meant and handed the phone to Sheng Mingying.
Sheng Mingying held up her phone and asked, "Zhou Yi, how is Grandma? What did the doctor say?"
A caring and loving voice came from inside. Zhou Yi said, "Mom, Grandma is doing well. The doctor said that Grandma is recovering very quickly, better than expected. The doctor also said that in a few months Grandma will be able to walk normally like before."
Looking at the little one's face as he drank his milk and listened attentively to their conversation, Sheng Mingying smiled lovingly and said, "That's wonderful. Once your grandma is discharged from the hospital, Mom will bring her to the old house, and we'll take care of her ourselves."
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment.
Are we bringing Grandma to the old house?
That's absolutely unacceptable.
She still hasn't found a suitable opportunity to tell her grandmother about her job change, and her other grandmothers are even less aware of it.
Zhou Yi hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Mom, Grandma misses home. She wants to go home. She was born and raised in our small town. She doesn't feel comfortable or adaptable in Yunzhou City."
"She hasn't recovered yet and has to stay in the hospital, which is why Grandma isn't in a hurry to go home. Otherwise, she would have gone home long ago."
"Mom, thank you. Don't worry, Grandma should stay in the hospital for now. I'll take her home after she's discharged."
Zhou Yi panicked, fearing that Sheng Mingying would really bring Xu Fengzhen to the old house, then she would really be unable to hide it anymore.
Hearing her anxious words, Sheng Mingying smiled and said, "Zhou Yi, Grandma's health doesn't allow her to go back to your place. Even if she's discharged from the hospital, she can't go back."
"No, no, no, we have to go back, Grandma..."
"Mom knows that as people get older, they all want to return to their roots. Mom understands that Grandma wants to go back, but not as soon as she is discharged from the hospital. What Mom means is that after Grandma is discharged from the hospital, she should stay at the old house for a few months, or a year or two. There are many people at the old house, and you, Yuyu, and Xiaoliu are all there, so you can take care of her nearby. Once she is completely recovered and there are no problems, your parents will personally take your grandma back to her hometown."
"This way you can rest assured, Xiao Liu can rest assured, and Mom and Dad can rest assured too, what do you say?"
Zhou Yi's voice went hoarse instantly upon hearing Sheng Mingying's words.
She wanted to say, no.
However, the old lady's arrangements were so thorough that she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Zhou Yi's mind raced as she tried to think of a reason to decline. As she thought, she said, "Mom, no, I... Grandma... Grandma doesn't know about my marriage to my husband yet. It will take time."
Yes, Grandma doesn't know yet, so she can't go to the old house.
He refused, citing his grandmother's illness.
Thinking it over, Zhou Yi calmed down a bit and continued, "Mom, I want to tell Grandma about my marriage after she's fully recovered."
“Grandma is old, and I was very scared by this accident. I didn’t dare to tell her about it because I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to accept it. So I want to wait until Grandma is fully recovered before I tell her.”
Hearing this, Sheng Mingying was not surprised at all. She said gently, "That's what Mom meant too. Grandma is getting old and needs to be careful. Everything should be done with Grandma's health in mind. But it's okay. Let's not talk about your marriage to Xiao Liu for now. Let's just talk about how well you work in our family. Yu Yu likes you very much, and we all like you. So, bringing her to the old house is the same thing."
