CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 490: NOT INTENTIONAL

She has always been considerate of others, but today she gave Tu Meijiao no face at all, which made Tu Meijiao quite embarrassed. Dragging her niece along, she said, "Look at what Tongtong said, Second Aunt didn’t say anything. I’m just worried about Nian Nian. After all, we all know he’s not in good health, yet you still took him to such a dangerous place to play. Look at his little face, so pitiful, and he hasn’t woken up yet."

As Tu Meijiao spoke, Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help but glance at his eldest grandson, feeling unbearably distressed. Zhang Huiqin also sighed.

"I am grateful that Second Aunt is so concerned about Nian Nian. Taking Nian Nian to the amusement park was indeed a lapse in my judgment, but that doesn’t mean my love for Nian Nian is insincere." This time, she was remarkably firm.

Tu Meijiao let out a cold laugh, "I didn’t say you don’t care for Nian Nian, saying so yourself only makes you seem guilty. How could you take him to such a place if you weren’t the stepmother?"

"Stop talking!" Lu Qingyuan interrupted, thoughtfully replying, "I believe Tongtong didn’t mean to do it."

Ji Niandong’s nose stung with emotion, and she looked gratefully at Lu Qingyuan, thankful for his trust.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Lu, Little Uncle, it was my decision to take Nian Nian to the amusement park, Tongtong was just concerned and followed," Gu Xiyao said, having awakened at some point. Her face was still a bit pale; she forced herself to sit up from the bed.

Seeing her made Tu Yingying furrow her brows tightly, and Tu Meijiao didn’t know what to say for a moment, eventually smiling, "Miss Gu is truly a noble lady, quite broad-minded."

"It was indeed my mistake! Nian Nian mentioned that his classmates had all gone to the children’s amusement park with their parents, and he wanted to go but Little Uncle was busy. I didn’t realize that Little Uncle was avoiding it due to the danger, it was really my fault, and it has nothing to do with Tongtong."

Gu Xiyao spoke calmly and confidently. Lu Beichen glanced at his son, already understanding the situation, "It’s no one’s fault, Nian Nian is alright now, let’s not dwell on it."

"Yes, let’s not mention it." Zhang Huiqin nodded, and Lu Qingyuan sighed.

Tu Meijiao also sighed, "Our Nian Nian is so pitiful, he’s just a child who surely just wanted to play." She paused and added, "Why did Nian Nian want to go to the amusement park with his parents, and Beichen was unwilling, so he turned to Miss Gu?"

Everyone’s brows furrowed at once, and Tu Meijiao quickly said, "Forget I said it."

Gu Xiyao spoke softly, "It seems Tongtong had no time, and Nian Nian couldn’t find anyone else. Today’s mistake is mine, I’m sorry everyone."

Gu Xiyao kept taking the responsibility upon herself, speaking as if nothing was out of place, while Tu Meijiao simply gave a cold laugh, saying no more.

Ji Niandong pursed her lips, remaining silent. Everyone waited quietly for Lu Sinian to wake up.

Little Bun must have just woken up from a nap, because when he opened his eyes, he found everyone gathered around the hospital bed watching him, giving him a fright, "What happened?"

"Grandson, you’re awake?" Lu Qingyuan could scarcely wait to scoop him up, rushing over to press against Lu Sinian’s cheek, saying, "You’re awake, that’s good, that’s good."

"Grandpa, I’ve said it before, your beard is too prickly!" Lu Sinian said irritably, with full strength. Seeing this, it was clear he was indeed fine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Niandong stepped forward and held his hand tightly, watching him silently.
