"Didn't you say that Grandpa Lin was feeling very unwell all of a sudden? How about now? Is he feeling better? "
The driver seemed to be stumped by Shi Yao's question, and he stuttered, "Y-he should be feeling better now, right?"
Should? What kind of answer is that?
Shi Yao frowned. "Didn't you say that Auntie Sun called you? Didn't she mention it on the phone? "
As she spoke, Shi Yao took out her phone from her bag and said, "I'll give Auntie Sun a call then …"
"No!" As if frightened by something, the driver abruptly stepped on the brakes and turned around to look at Shi Yao.
Shi Yao looked at the driver who looked as if he was going to snatch her phone away, and her frown deepened.
Noticing Shi Yao's expression, the driver realized that he had overreacted a little too much, so he quickly chuckled and said, "That's not it, Miss Shi. What I mean is that you shouldn't call Auntie Sun for the time being. Think about it, Auntie Sun is currently accompanying Grandpa Lin in the hospital, and Grandpa Lin is currently resting. Auntie Sun must be exhausted after working for so long. If you call her, you might wake not only Auntie Sun but Grandpa Lin as well …"
"… Besides, if Auntie Sun is calling, it means that Grandpa Lin is fine. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in the mood to call you, right?"
Shi Yao felt that there was something strange about the driver, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
She stared at him for a moment, and eventually, she felt that his words made sense. So, she put away her phone and said, "You're right. It's already so late. Since Grandpa Lin is resting, you should send me back to school first."
The driver wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he stepped on the accelerator once more.
After driving for several dozen meters, Shi Yao suddenly thought of something and said, "I don't have any lessons tomorrow afternoon, so I can pay Grandpa Lin a visit at the hospital."
Hearing those words, the driver's heart skipped a beat, and his feet slipped, causing the car to shake violently.
When they arrived at G University, Shi Yao didn't have the driver drop her back to her dormitory. Instead, she chose to alight at the entrance of the school.
A second after she stepped through the entrance, the driver immediately picked up his phone and made a call.
The call was swiftly picked up, and Lin Jiage's casual voice sounded from the other side, "Is everything settled?"
"Yes, Young Master. It's all settled …"
Before the driver could finish his words, Lin Jiage had already hung up on him.
The driver called again, but the number he dialed was not in the service area.
The driver tried three times, but to no avail. In the end, he gave up and drove away.
Along the way, the chauffeur thought to himself, Young Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you didn't give me a chance. Miss Shi said that she's going to the hospital tomorrow, and if she were to meet Grandpa Lin and Auntie Sun, your lies today would be exposed. You can only pray for the best for now …
…
He Tiantian, Leng Nuan, and Jiang Yue weren't back yet, so Shi Yao was the only one in the room.
She opened a box of yogurt, bit her straw, and habitually opened the [Sexy and Frisky] WeChat group.
Sure enough, someone was playing games for her.
Shi Yao asked, "Are you guys still playing?"
Roughly ten minutes later, [Expert of the Monkeys] called her and said, "I just finished a round. Sis Yao, come over quickly."
Shi Yao quickly went online.
[Juice] had already invited her in. After entering, she instinctively wanted to ask, "Did you guys just get chicken dinner?"
As soon as the words reached her lips, she shut her mouth tightly.
