CHAPTER 749: CHAPTER 749: MENG SIYU’S PUNISHMENT

After bringing Grandma Gu to the emergency room of the hospital and when it came time to fill in the admission information, a nurse asked Tang Yue about the patient’s age, name, and the like.

"That is, I’m not her family member, and I don’t know what Grandma Gu’s name is. Maybe, after she gets better, you can ask her yourself?" Tang Yue had only met Grandma Gu for the first time today.

Just after Xie Ziyue had brought Grandma Gu into the emergency room and come out, he overheard Tang Yue’s words, which surprised him.

He had thought she was Tang Yue’s own grandmother, otherwise why would she have risked her life to stop a car?

Xie Ziyue silently left and directly left US$ 1,000 for Grandma Gu’s hospital bills at the hospital before departing.

"Grandma Gu, just stay here at ease. If you don’t get your injuries treated, how will you manage to walk by yourself later on? You won’t even be able to take care of yourself," Tang Yue tried to persuade Grandma Gu to stay at the hospital.

Grandma Gu’s thin, bony hand clutched Tang Yue’s hand, and with tears in her deeply set eyes, she said, "Good girl, I still have some money at home. When I go back, please trouble you to come with me to get it."

"Okay," Tang Yue nodded in agreement.

"Little girl, what is your name?" asked Grandma Gu.

"Tang Yue," Tang Yue introduced herself with a smile.

Grandma Gu then asked, "Little girl, where do you live? You don’t sound like you’re from Jin City. If you leave, how will I repay the money?"

Tang Yue smiled helplessly, "Grandma Gu, I live in the alley we just came out of, the seventh building on the right."

"Oh, so it was the old Zhou family residence before, you bought it," Grandma Gu immediately recognized the place.

Tang Yue changed the subject and went out to make the payment.

When she arrived at the payment office for inpatients, Tang Yue found out that someone had already paid US$ 1,000.

Thinking about it, Tang Yue asked, "Was it that man who brought us here earlier? The one who looks very gentle."

"Yes," the nurse nodded affirmatively; the man was tall, always with a slight smile on his lips, giving off a breezy spring vibe, truly a dashing young gentleman.

Tang Yue asked further, "Did he say who he was?"

"No," the nurse shook her head, "He left the money saying it was for the old lady’s medical expenses, then he left."

The nurse then realized and asked, "You don’t know him?"

The man had driven them here and personally carried Grandma Gu to the emergency room; the nurses even wanted to discreetly inquire from Tang Yue who that man was.

"We don’t know him," Tang Yue shook her head; since he had paid US$ 1,000, naturally she need not worry anymore. She went back to the room and told Grandma Gu about it, who excitedly said, "Today, I truly met nothing but good people, noble people!"

The eyes of Grandma Gu, deep-set, were very bright, possessing a desolate feeling as if having seen through the vicissitudes of life.

"Grandma Gu, thinking of your inconvenience in this hospital, I’ve arranged for a caretaker, who will take good care of you during your hospital stay," Tang Yue didn’t give Grandma Gu a chance to refuse.

Grandma Gu, a lonely elderly with no relatives, would struggle in the hospital without anyone to care for her, even managing to eat would be a challenge.

"No, no, I..." upon hearing this, Grandma Gu shook her head; she had lived for most of her life, how could she need someone else to take care of her now?

Tang Yue smiled lightly and said, "Grandma Gu, just listen to me. I have things to take care of at home too, so I can’t always be here to take care of you. What will you do when you need to go to the bathroom or eat if no one is here to help?"

...

"Si Yu, have you heard? There’s such a foolish girl who, for a complete stranger, recklessly tried to stop a car with her own body." Qin Anhao was profoundly moved as he excitedly relayed the gossip he had just heard, "I couldn’t believe it when Xie Zihao told me."

"In this world, there are still many kind-hearted people." Meng Siyu glanced at him, thinking about making dumplings for his wife tonight.

"Si Yu, your wife has come, I’m going to your house for dinner. I’ve heard from An Yu how good your wife’s cooking is." Qin Anhao has been tempted by Qin Anyu for a long time, and now that Tang Yue has finally come to Jin City, he couldn’t wait to have a meal there yesterday.

"No."

Meng Siyu refused, his face stern.

"Come on, I thought about leaving you two alone yesterday since it’s like a second honeymoon, but why not today?" Qin Anhao had been tantalized by Qin Anyu and didn’t want to miss such a great opportunity.

Meng Siyu gave him a side glance and said, "You’ll understand once you get a wife."

With that, Meng Siyu strode away.

Qin Anhao’s face darkened with annoyance. Was Meng Siyu deliberately flaunting his affection?

Even grandpa kept nagging him to get married, why did Meng Siyu also have to mention it?

Meng Siyu bought some pork belly, flour, and cabbage. He planned to make dumplings with pork and cabbage filling today.

"You’re back?" As Tang Yue had just returned from the hospital without buying groceries, she was happy to see Meng Siyu with the ingredients. "Great, I was just wondering what groceries to buy. Let’s make dumplings today."

Tang Yue said with joy, dumplings were her favorite.

"Wife, were you at the hospital?" Meng Siyu approached Tang Yue and smelled the antiseptic on her. He set down the groceries, grabbed Tang Yue, and was so anxious he almost wanted to strip her clothes to check if she was hurt anywhere.

"I’m not hurt, I’m fine," Tang Yue hurriedly explained, "Here’s what happened: today, I encountered an old lady who had fallen on the street, so I took her to the hospital. She didn’t have any family and was alone, so I ended up staying with her at the hospital for the day. Does the smell of the antiseptic seem strong?"

Listening to her, Meng Siyu felt something was off, and suddenly remembering what Qin Anhao had said, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you take that old lady to the hospital?"

His deep eyes fixed intently on her.

Tang Yue shrank her neck slightly and vaguely replied, "I just stopped a car."

"How did you stop it?" Meng Siyu’s eyes deepened.

Tang Yue’s lips quivered, wanting to lie, but as she raised her head and met Meng Siyu’s intense gaze, which seemed like it could see through everything, she honestly confessed, "I just... ran up and stopped the car."

She sounded somewhat uneasy as she added, "I’m fine, and the old lady is fine too."

"Tang Yue," Meng Siyu called her full name.

Tang Yue instinctively wanted to step back.

Meng Siyu’s large hands gripped her shoulders firmly, making it impossible for Tang Yue to retreat. His gaze was filled with anger and concern, "What were you thinking? Running in front of a moving car to stop it, what if, what if the driver hadn’t been able to stop? Have you thought about the consequences?"
