I haven't heard this name for a long time.

Madam Nie was born in City B and lived there for quite some time. Now that she is old, she feels a little nostalgic for the past.

She had wanted to visit City B before, but she never had the chance.

If I could go with He Yi, it would be the fulfillment of my previous wish.

Madam Nie was a person who acted decisively, and she immediately said, "In that case, I will go with you. To be honest, I also miss the scenery there. If I go with you, maybe I can even serve as a guide for you."

"You are joking, old lady. How can I trouble you with such a thing?"

"It's no trouble at all. I want to go. If it's inconvenient, forget it. I'm being too presumptuous."

"No, no, I feel lonely if I go alone. Manman has to follow the school's arrangements. If you can go with me, I will be so happy."

"That's settled then. Send me the exact time so I can go pack my things."

"okay."

After the matter was finalized, the two hung up the phone.

Since Madam Nie started making the phone call, no one in the room made a sound.

As soon as she hung up the phone, people around her gathered around.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Yeah, how about we go with you?"

Madam Nie just waved her hand: "There's no need for you. Someone has already gone with me. You just stay at home."

As soon as she said this, Mr. Wu could no longer sit still.

"Where are you going? Why don't you let anyone follow you?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just went back to City B to take a look. I don't want you to accompany me. I just want to walk around by myself."

It’s said that I was taking a walk alone, but in fact, it was more like going out to relax.

But this made the others very anxious, and they kept trying to persuade him.

In the end, Madam Nie was annoyed.

"That's enough. Do I need your permission to go anywhere? Don't I even have this little freedom?"

The others were immediately speechless.

But they still wanted to persuade Madam Nie.

Madam Nie didn't listen and went straight upstairs.

This family dinner ended unhappily.

Mr. Wu sighed and followed Mrs. Nie upstairs.

When he came up, he saw Madam Nie was already packing her things.

She was still like she was when she was young, picky about everything, not satisfied with this one or that one.

Even when Mr. Wu came in, he did not attract the attention of Mrs. Nie and was completely ignored.

Mr. Wu said helplessly: "I don't mean to restrict you."

Madam Nie paused, put down her clothes, and asked expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"

"I just felt that you were going to leave again after just coming back, and I was worried. What's more, there is no one in City B. You haven't been back for decades and you are unfamiliar with the place. What if something happens?"

"Don't worry, Yunshu is there. He will come to find me later."

"Then you should have someone follow you, right?"

"Need not."

"Yunyuan." Old Master Wu took a step forward and wanted to take the person's hand to comfort him.

Madam Nie simply snapped his hand open.

Mr. Wu's face darkened.

Since he reached this position, no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

Seeing his cold face, Madam Wu suddenly smiled: "What? You want to hold my hand, and I have to let you hold it? And I can't move. The master of the Wu family is so majestic."

Mr. Wu sighed: "When did I say that? Yunyuan, I'm just worried about you."

"You're worried about me? Then why don't you let me see Ruan? Do you have to make me uncomfortable? You know very well that when I stay here, I will think of Ruan, and when I see those children, I miss Ruan. Over the years, I have also mentioned that Yunshu should go to see Ruan, but did you agree? You didn't. Sometimes I really don't know if you have a heart in your chest. Ruan is also your child. Don't you miss her at all?"

The long-suppressed emotions were like a gusher, and Mrs. Wu kept spitting out.

She didn't stay in Beijing very often. She would go out from time to time, either to relax or to visit famous doctors.

Whenever she found a famous doctor, she would inform Mr. Wu, hoping that the doctor could cure A'ruan.

Old Madam Nie also secretly contacted the famous doctor, wanting to know about A'ruan's condition from him, but no matter what she said, the famous doctor remained unmoved.

Until now, she still doesn't know the specific situation of Aruan.

After Mr. Wu learned about this, he went to see Mrs. Nie and stopped her behavior.

He wanted to bring Madam Nie back to Beijing, but Madam Nie didn't want to. She preferred to stay outside.

In the end, Mr. Wu couldn't resist and agreed.

It was not until this year's National Day that Mrs. Nie was willing to come back.

A'ruan was like a thorn between the two of them, impossible to move or pull out.

After listening to her questioning, Mr. Wu was silent for a long time and finally sighed deeply.

"If you want to go to City B, go ahead. I won't stop you. After all, Yun Shu can take good care of you."

Mrs. Nie's tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Mr. Wu by the collar and asked him word by word, "What are you hiding from me? Tell me. Don't lie to me anymore."

Tears wet Mr. Wu's hands. He paused, but still gently wiped away her tears.

"Okay, don't think too much. Ruan is fine now. When she recovers after a while, I will bring her to see you."

There it is again.

Madam Nie closed her eyes in despair.

Every time when talking about A'ruan, Mr. Wu would use this sentence to fool her, without exception.

In the past, Madam Nie could still believe it, but now, she really doesn’t think that anything he said is true.

Old Madam Nie sat back at the table, hunched over, and remained silent for a long time.

On the other side, Mr. Wu was not feeling well either.

He went straight to the study and sat there without saying a word.

Wu Nianqiu brought in a cup of tea.

When Mr. Wu looked up and saw that it was her, he didn't chase her out.

"Grandpa, did you quarrel with grandma again?"

Mr. Wu was silent for a moment, then said, "How dare I? Is it she who insists on arguing with me?"

"About my aunt?"

"Ah."

"Grandpa really has no intention of telling grandma about this?"

"Your grandmother is old and in poor health. If she knew the details, she would definitely not be able to bear it."

A'ruan was the youngest child among them. When Mrs. Nie gave birth to her, she was already quite old and the birth was difficult, so naturally she took care of her with even more care and love.

If she knew...Ah Ruan couldn't get better and didn't have much time left, she would definitely go crazy...
