The next morning, Old Master Su and Su Jiacheng came to pick her up. Si Junyan was already gone by the time she woke up. Doctor Fu gave her last check-up before getting discharged.
"Don't overwork and remember to have your meals on time and have enough sleep." He advised.
"I will." Yan Shu nodded. Yesterday, she got to know that Su Mo Jiaran has post-traumatic stress disorder since a long time. Yan Shu took it as the cause of nightmares and the pain that day was also probably due to Su Mo Jiaran's brain acting upon the disorder.
Su Jiacheng then went to take care of the paperwork.
"Grandpa, when did brother Junyan leave?" Last night after the conversation in Yan Shu's room, he has not spoken a word with her. She didn't even know if he had visited her room after she left Yan Shu's room. Although she didn't want to think about him much yet somehow her heart was saying otherwise. Hence, she just asked Old Master Su in curiosity.
"Xiao Yan didn't have a good sleep last night and since he had an important meeting today, he left early." Old Master Su watched her granddaughter getting curious about Si Junyan. He felt happy thinking there might be some progress in their relationship. After all, the contract needed affirmation from both parties. If one doesn't want to let the contract go in vain, the other has no choice but to agree with the former too.
"You should treat him to a meal as an appreciation for looking over you." Old Master Su added patting her head.
Yan Shu waggled.
After Su Jiacheng returned, they left the hospital.
"OH my gosh! Look at my baby, how thin you've become. You must've been very hungry. Come with me, I've prepared all of your favorites and without finishing them you aren't allowed to go anywhere." Yan Yulin winced.
As soon as they entered the villa, Yin Yulin who was darting around the living room rushed up to them. She then observed Su Mo Jiaran and her face puffed. Dramatically she pouted at Su Mo Jiaran and dragged her into the dining room while grumbling all the way.
Yan Shu helplessly followed. She was also starving since it's been many days, she ate something appetizing. But when she caught a glimpse of the dishes, she didn't know what to eat anymore.
Except the congee which was topped with tofu, vegetables and soy sauce other dishes were bean sprouts salad, pumpkin pasta with pine nut, vegetable salad with lemon scallion, sesame watercress salad, farro-tomato salad and some more few types of salad she didn't even knew the name of filled up the spacious dining table.
Yan Shu was dumbfounded. She wondered if it was a salad day or Su Mo Jiaran was a Saint who didn't eat meat.
Where she was craving hotpot, peking duck and all those greasy, heavy food feast, here she was getting forced to eat those crappy vegetables which she never liked.
She had always been a meat lover. Even when she entered the acting industry, she specifically requested to not have a strict diet and agreed to burn it out as much as needed.
Once she even denied a great script, just because she was asked to lessen her weight and have a one salad meal diet for three months. It was obvious what mattered more!!
She reluctantly sat down. Beside her, Yin Yulin started serving her various types of salads. She lowered her head and started eating the porridge. Thankfully, Yin Yulin was so busy complaining that she didn't notice that Su Mo Jiaran wasn't eating.
Su Jiacheng and Old Master Su have also followed them into the room.
"Ranran, you should eat spinach more. It will boost your immune system. Here,aaaaaaaaaaa." Standing behind Su Mo Jiaran, Su Jiacheng noticed that she wasn't eating her favorite vegetables today. He thought she was too weak to even pick up the fork and so he took a seat beside her and lifted the fork with spinach in it and stretched his hand towards Su Mo Jiaran's mouth to feed her.
Yan Shu was eating quitely, feeling grateful that none noticed the unusual until she saw a spinach coming towards her making her almost throw up.
First thing, she isn't fond of vegetables specifically green leaves. Moreover whenever she sees a spinach she was reminded of the gas that smells like rotten egg that was excreted from the person who had eaten spinach in his/her meal that very day.
"Brother,my immune system is strong enough." Yan Shu smiled impassively at him.
"Mom." Su Jiacheng eyed his mom.
Yin Yulin has now stopped nagging and she looked at her daughter's plate. Her eyes widened and she took a seat on her right side slightly turned on sideways to face Su Mo Jiaran.
"Why aren't you eating? Don't you like the food mom prepared? It's my fault. I should've asked you before preparing that what do you want to eat." Her eyes almost swelled up in tears as she dramatically expressed her sorrows and disappointment.
This time Yan Shu didn't know how to reject her anymore. Although Yin Yulin was naggy, her naggings and grumblings showed how much she adored Su Mo Jiaran and those were the things that Yan Shu missed.
She wasn't certain how many days she would be enjoying these things but she was grateful to be able to enjoy all these even if it was for granted and for an unknown time.
That's why she did not want to reject the food she had served her directly and was eating quietly. Who knew there will be a sudden appearance of a peacebreaker.
"Mom, it's not like that. I was about to have them after finishing the porridge." Seeing the former still sobbing slightly, Yan Shu reluctantly picked up the bean and pretended to chew while she actually swallowed it down as soon as she put it into her mouth leading to the bean sprout piece stuck in her throat.
After pretending, she hurriedly took the glass and gulped down a mouthful of juice which resulted in the production of the rumbling sound from her mouth thereafter.
Everyone present in the room guffawed seeing her doings and the room broke into laughter which stayed for a few moments.
Finally, after much persistence and denial, Yin Yulin let her go without finishing the food. As soon as Yan Shu entered her room, she collapsed on her bed posteriorly and fell asleep.
It was almost evening when Yan Shu was awaken by a phone call.
"Mo Ran, which hospital are you in? I've visited half of the capital hospitals but couldn't find you. It was so hard to even get your number. Thankfully, I found someone handy." The moment Yan Shu recieved the call, Sheng Chen's loud voice wafted in her ear.
"Who's that handy?" Finally Yan Shu got the chance to speak
"It may be unbelievable but Principal Liu is actually Huan Shi's grandfather. Even we, his childhood buddies didn't know that till today. We owe you one."
Even though Sheng Chen wasn't infront of her, Yan Shu could imagine her expression right now.
"Who else is there with you?" Since Sheng Chen was genuinely concerned for her, Yan Shu did not see any harm meeting them.
"It's just me, Cheng Han and Huan Shi. Where are you?"
"Send me your location. My chauffeur will come pick you up."
Yan Shu then hung up. She then got up and changed into casual outfits before leaving her room.
"Grandpa, may I come in?" Yan Shu knocked on Old Master Su's study door.
Soon the door was opened and Yan Shu was greeted by Butler Su.
"Master is inside, young Miss. Follow me." Butler Su then took Yan Shu to where Old Master Su was.
The study room of Old Master Su was divided into four parts inside. One contained various games like Go, Chess, Wei qi etc., one was filled with books, the other had only documents, case files, literature copies, calligraphy tools and papers while the last one consist of the main office table and a corner filled with wine shelf whereas on the opposite was placed Royal collection classic sofa set.
Yan Shu's eyes widened in amazement. It was the first time; she had seen this type of spacious study room. Though she had heard rumors of the Su Villa before, but she didn't expect for it to really be that much royal from the outer side. Su Mo Jiaran's room and study room and the parts of the villa she had seen till now was already her limit of imagination. Witnessing Old Master Su's study room has now broadened her horizon.
"Do you need something?" Old Master Su was sitting on the back throne lounge chair by the french window in the office room.
"My friends want to see me. They are concerned about me and had been searching for me in different hospitals till they got my contact from Principal Liu." Yan Shu explained the matter.
Principal Liu wasn't the kind of person to leak a student's information. Hence, Old Master Su was surprised.
"Principal Liu gave out your contact?" He narrowed his eyes. With one leg over the another, back leaned on the chair along with glasses on and his hands holding the book, Old Master Su gave off the aura of novelty. Even Yan Shu was taken aback seeing him. It was obvious that he must've been a charming man when he was young.
"Cough.. Actually one of my classmate turned out to be Principal Liu's distant grandchild. After their much persistant he felt helpless and gave up." Yan Shu knew Su Mo Jiaran didn't like attention and that's why they kept her hidden. But after living with them for awhile, it felt like the Su's were the ones reluctant to expose her. Anyways, expose or not it didn't matter to her but since she was now living in this body, the last thing she wanted was attention so it was advantageous for her too.
"I see. I have an apartment in Yanjing. Take them there. I will send over food cooked by our chef. Just inform me what your friends want to have." Old Master Su gestured Butler Su to give the access card to Su Mo Jiaran.
When Yan Shu took the Gold card, the diamond embedded on it shined to the point that it almost blinded her.
"I'll take my leave then." She carefully placed the card inside her hoodie like it was a treasure.
"Mo Ran,when did you start playing piano again?" Just as Yan Shu turned around to head to the outside she stopped in her tracks when she heard Old Master Su.
