Cao Guifang looked distressed. "There are so many people in the company. Why did he climb up? He's already in his forties. He doesn't know how to take care of his body … "Cao Guifang's tears flowed out." He really makes me worry. "
Shuxin took Cao Guifang's hand and sat down on the bed. "Grandma, don't worry too much. Fortunately, he only broke his leg. Take good care of himself. Dad will recover soon."
Cao Guifang nodded. She looked at the cheongsam and windbreaker she had not taken off and said apologetically, "Xin 'er, it's your mother-in-law's birthday party tomorrow. We definitely can't attend it. I'll call your mother-in-law and apologize in person later."
Shu Mengling was anxious. She finally had a chance to get close to Huo Jibai. How could she not go? She said hurriedly, "Grandma, Dad is injured. There are nurses in the hospital. We can go. Didn't you say that you've never been to the Family Huo and wanted to see it for a long time?"
Cao Guifang shook her head. "With Kang like this, how can I be in the mood to go? I'll only add to Xin 'er's troubles if I go with a sad face. I won't go. I'll go when I have the chance in the future."
Shu Mengling was about to go crazy, but she tried to hold it in and found a way to persuade Cao Guifang. "Grandma, it's the first time my sister is celebrating her mother-in-law's birthday. Isn't it bad if we don't go? We don't want the Family Huo to think that we don't know etiquette. How about this? I'll represent the Shu family to have lunch at noon. What do you think? "
Shuxin knew what Shu Mengling was thinking. She said coldly, "Dad is like this, but you're still thinking about how to curry favor. Do you have any conscience?"
Shu Mengling's eyes instantly turned red. She gently pulled Cao Guifang's clothes and said sadly, "Grandma, my sister misunderstood me. I'm really thinking for her. The Family Huo is a big family. It's not like our small family. There are so many eyes watching them. If we don't go, it's inevitable that people will make wild guesses."
"Shu Mengling …"
Cao Guifang patted the back of Shuxin's hand gently and interrupted Shuxin. "Well, Xin 'er, your sister is right. If we don't go, others will think that there is no one in your family. In the future, you will have a hard time in the Family Huo."
"Grandma, the Family Huo is not as scary as you think. Yanqing and Mom are very good to me. If they know that Dad is injured, they definitely won't mind. I'll show up tomorrow and come over to take care of Dad."
"That won't do." Cao Guifang said with a serious face, "Your mother-in-law's birthday is a happy occasion. Don't bring the bloody incident there, lest it offends you. I, the nanny, and Uncle Qiu are here. Don't worry."
"Grandma, what era are we in now? Why are you still so superstitious?"
"Listen to Grandma. Go back when your father wakes up. There's a birthday banquet tomorrow. Who knows, the family might need your help. Don't come over tomorrow, lest you bring bad luck." After Cao Guifang finished speaking, she looked at Shu Mengling. "You will represent the Shu family at the birthday banquet tomorrow. Behave appropriately and don't embarrass the Shu family. More importantly, don't cause trouble for your sister. Do you understand?"
Shu Mengling nodded repeatedly. "I understand, Grandma."
About an hour later, Shu Youkang woke up. Shuxin chatted with Shu Youkang for a while before he urged her to go back early.
When Shuxin left, she glanced at Shu Mengling.
"Grandma, I'll send my sister off," Shu Mengling said obediently.
"Okay."
