The three of them were in the same dormitory. Was it because 111111 was in a bad mood that the other two became more restrained?
While Shi Yao's mind was wandering, the game began.
Halfway through the flight, a call came in.
It was a call from the Lin family's old mansion.
Could it be that Grandpa Lin had found out that she was going to cancel her engagement with Lin Jiage, and he was calling to ask about it?
Shi Yao hesitated for a moment before walking to the balcony of the dormitory room with her phone in hand and answering the call.
"Miss Shi, my apologies for calling you so late at night."
It wasn't Grandpa Lin's voice that came through the phone. Instead, it was the voice of the butler of the Lin Clan, Auntie Sun.
Shi Yao was quite fond of Auntie Sun. Even though she didn't visit the Lin Family's old mansion often, Auntie Sun would always prepare a lot of delicious delicacies for her.
Shi Yao replied obediently, "It's fine. Auntie Sun, what's the matter for you to call me so late at night?"
"That's right. Your Grandpa Lin suddenly fainted when he was taking a shower after dinner. He was just sent to the emergency room of the hospital."
"Fainted? Is the situation serious? Which hospital? I'll go there now … "
"There's no need for that, Miss Shi. It's already so late, and the hospital is far from your school. The chauffeur isn't around either, so it's not safe for you to come here alone. Besides, it's not like there's no one guarding here. If you really wish to come, why don't you come tomorrow? I'll ask the chauffeur to pick you up … "
She wouldn't be of much help even if she went there. If she insisted on going, the Lin family's old mansion would definitely arrange for a car to pick her up. In this way, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Shi Yao analyzed the situation for a moment before replying, "Alright then. I don't have any lessons tomorrow morning, so I'll go to the hospital to visit Grandpa Lin."
Auntie Sun: "Then I'll have the driver pick you up from school tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Aunty Sun."
"It's alright." Auntie Sun paused for a moment, as if there was something she wanted to say. A moment later, she asked, "Miss Shi, did you get into some sort of conflict with the young master?"
Shi Yao recalled the words that Lin Jiage had said to her in the forest.
Now that Auntie Sun was asking her this, it must have something to do with the annulment of their engagement, right?
Perhaps noticing that Shi Yao wasn't replying to her words, Auntie Sun spoke up once more, "Your Grandpa Lin went out for a walk in a good mood this afternoon, but as soon as he returned, he flew into a rage and called the Young Master back."
"As soon as the young master entered, he didn't even have the chance to call out 'Grandpa'. Your Grandpa Lin grabbed a teacup and smashed it right in his face."
"You should know that your Grandpa Lin has a bad temper. So, when the young master returned, the entire house was thrown into chaos. In the end, your Grandpa Lin didn't even let the young master eat and chased him out of the house."
"There are some things that I haven't told you. Actually, your Grandpa Lin's health has deteriorated over the past two years. The doctor has warned me not to get angry. That's why your Grandpa Lin fainted tonight. Sigh, it's all because of the young master. Say, you're such a good lady, why doesn't the young master like you …"
At this point, Shi Yao didn't know how she should respond to Zhang Xuan's words, so she chose to listen quietly.
Auntie Sun chattered on the phone for a long time before the call finally ended.
It was no wonder Lin Jiage was in such a bad mood. So that was the reason …
