Chapter 249: Running into the Old Lady

 Chapter 249: Running into the Old Lady

Shu Yu felt relieved. Indeed, Doctor Zhao was not a fool and much more useful than an idiot. Doctor Zhao let out a sigh of relief but suddenly felt a chilling gaze behind him. Unable to resist, he glanced backward and saw Meng Yunzheng's displeased expression. Doctor Zhao, "...Why do I feel like my life is in danger?" He quickly turned to Shu Yu and said, "Should I go back now and prepare it for you?" "Okay, thank you." Doctor Zhao turned around and headed out. Meng Yunzheng stood up, pursed his lips, and silently watched him. Shu Yu also turned her head, meeting his gaze with confusion. "Young Master Meng, do you have any more questions for me?" After confirming that she didn't need his help, Meng Yunzheng felt a strange tightness in his chest. He quickly caught up with Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao had already opened the courtyard gate. Just as the two were about to leave, they nearly collided with an old lady entering the gate. The old lady looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in her courtyard, barely able to suppress a shout of surprise. Fortunately, she immediately recognized Meng Yunzheng and breathed a sigh of relief. She curiously asked, "You... Young Master Meng? Are you here to see Ah Yu?" Doctor Zhao immediately resumed his role and chuckled foolishly. Meng Yunzheng also acted as a mute. Shu Yu, hearing the commotion, hurriedly ran out and introduced, "Grandma, this is Doctor Zhao, as I mentioned before." The old lady suddenly realized. She knew that Doctor Zhao was the one who saved her son and granddaughter, but due to some brain issues, he had become foolish. It was truly pitiful. Shu Yu then explained the reason for their presence, "I helped Doctor Zhao last time and gave him a few pastries. He remembered me and when he saw me just now, he wanted to follow me back. I brought him in to have some candy. Young Master Meng came to take him home." Meng Yunzheng nodded silently beside her. The old lady suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." She affectionately touched Doctor Zhao's head. "It's alright. Doctor Zhao, you can come over whenever you want to in the future. We have Da Hu and San Ya here, so you won't be alone." After speaking, she turned to Meng Yunzheng and instructed, "If you have something to do and can't take care of him, just bring him to our house. I'll look after him for you." Doctor Zhao had a beaming smile on his face, but internally he almost spat out blood. Meng Yunzheng put on his usual charming smile, expressing his sincere gratitude to the old lady without saying a word. Then, he pulled the foolish Doctor Zhao away. Although his mood seemed much better than before. The old lady stood at the gate, watching the two figures leave, sighing and saying, "Poor young men, what will happen to them in the future? Doctor Zhao doesn't know anything anymore, and that young master, he probably won't even be able to find a wife." Being a mute himself and dragging along a foolish person, although he looked handsome, most decent girls wouldn't want to marry him. Shu Yu pulled at the corner of her mouth, forcing a dry laugh. "Grandma, let's go inside first." The old lady, still muttering with regret, allowed Shu Yu to pull her into the courtyard. She continued grumbling while inside. Shu Yu closed the courtyard gate and asked, "Grandma, where did you go just now?" The old lady snapped back to attention and suddenly clasped her hands together, her face lighting up with excitement. "Oh, I almost forgot. I came back to tell you some good news." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
