Cheng Yu stayed until evening before leaving.

He had barely left when Huo Lin'an received the news.

The man stared at the photo for a long time, his fingers slowly tracing patterns on the screen.

"Sister, how did you get involved with Cheng Yu?"

Huo Lin'an really couldn't understand it.

It's truly unbelievable that the two, who seem to have no connection whatsoever, can become entangled together.

"If you can like him, why can't you like me?" Huo Lin'an zoomed in on the photo, staring at Meng Tingwan's smiling face with fascination, his eyes filled with increasing predatory intent.

He pressed the internal phone and called his assistant in.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

The assistant was frustrated. "Mr. Huo, we haven't been able to find any information about Cheng Yu and Miss Cheng yet, because there's no news about them online, not even any photos of them together."

"Can't find anything? Could it be that they only recently started getting involved together?"

"Possibly. After all, the young lady is beautiful and a movie queen. It's understandable that Cheng Yu wants to pursue her." The assistant's words were quite correct.

Huo Lin'an clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his whole body radiating a fierce aura.

"But she can only marry me, she's mine!"

The assistant was so frightened that he stood there without saying a word.

However, Huo Lin'an quickly calmed down and said to his assistant, "Their relationship is definitely not what we see now. Go and ask around. There are quite a few people who want Cheng Yuming."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

When Meng Tingwan received Meng Yunshu's call, she had just finished a night shoot.

She walked while making a phone call, "Auntie, when are you coming?"

"My flight is tomorrow, so it should arrive tonight."

"Then I'll come pick you up. Send me your flight information." Meng Tingwan mouthed a sentence to An'an, who understood and immediately went to make the arrangements.

Meng Yunshu knew she was filming recently and didn't want to trouble her. "No need, you're working hard filming. I'll send you the hotel address when I arrive, and we'll meet there."

Meng Tingwan thought about it and agreed.

The film and television base is very close to the sanatorium, so I plan to visit Madam Cheng at the sanatorium tomorrow.

"Okay then, it's settled."

"Well, wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, An'an returned just then. "Sis, everything's arranged. The director moved tomorrow afternoon's scenes to the morning, so the afternoon and evening are free."

"Okay, you've worked hard. Let's go back and rest."

the next day.

After finishing filming, Meng Tingwan went back to the hotel to change clothes.

An'an had already told the driver to wait downstairs.

"Sis, which mall should we go to?"

"Let's go with the one closest to the sanatorium, so we can easily carry our things over."

After Meng Tingwan finished speaking, she began searching for suitable nutritional supplements to bring to the elderly.

When they arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, she told An'an and the driver to leave first, and that they would come to pick her up later after she sent a message.

An An initially insisted on staying with her, but eventually, she couldn't persuade her otherwise and had to give in.

Meng Tingwan entered through the same door that Cheng Yu had led her through last time.

The security personnel at the entrance recognized her and knew she was Mr. Cheng's wife, so they let her through immediately.

Meng Tingwan smiled and nodded to them before carrying her things inside.

Following the route she remembered, she arrived at the room door.

Before I even went inside, I could hear a loud voice coming from inside, "I don't want to, I don't want to take the medicine!"

Meng Tingwan quickly pushed the door open and went in, only to see Old Madam Cheng wave her hands and knock the bowl out of the caregiver's hand.

Upon seeing this, she immediately put down what she was holding and ran to Madam Cheng's side.

The caregiver had seen Meng Tingwan before and was very surprised to see her. "Madam, what brings you here?"

"I came to see Grandma. What happened?" Meng Tingwan asked, frowning as she saw the mess on the ground.

Caregivers have actually gotten used to it.

Every time Madam Cheng took her medicine, she had to go through this ordeal.

"The old lady is afraid of bitter medicine and always refuses to take it obediently," the caregiver explained to her. "Please sit down, I'll clean up here."

Meng Tingwan then pushed the wheelchair and led Old Madam Cheng to the side.

She knelt down, placed her hands on the old lady's lap, and looked up at her with a smile, "Grandma, I'm Meng Tingwan, do you remember me?"

Old Madam Cheng looked down at her carefully, and after a minute, she said, "You are Xiaoya."

Meng Tingwan remembered that this was Cheng Yu's mother's name.

Seeing that the old lady's memory was still confused, she didn't explain. "Yes, you remember me?"

"Of course, our Xiaoya is the most filial."

As she spoke, Madam Cheng unconsciously stroked Meng Tingwan's cheek, "Are you and Yi Zhi alright? Why hasn't he come to see me?"

“We are doing well. He has been busy lately, so I came to visit you. I will bring him back in a couple of days.”

Madam Cheng was very satisfied, and a smile appeared on her face. "It's alright. If you're busy, don't run back and forth. Your health is the most important thing."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Meng Tingwan held her hand, and the two smiled at each other.

The caregiver brought the medicine over again. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, she was thinking of giving it to Madam Cheng later.

When Meng Tingwan saw this, she said to her, "Give me the medicine, I'll feed it to Grandma."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"fine."

She took the bowl of medicine from the caregiver and smelled a bitter odor.

No wonder he didn't want to drink it; the taste is probably unpalatable for most people.

When Madam Cheng saw the bowl of medicine, her face changed instantly. "I don't want to drink it."

When Meng Tingwan was little, she also fed her younger sister medicine in the same way. However, at that time, Meng Wanxing was an autistic child and did not complain about the bitterness of the medicine. She would eat whatever she was fed.

But seeing how resistant Madam Cheng was, she thought for a moment and then softened her voice to coax her, "Grandma, how about this? As long as you finish your medicine, I'll get you your favorite pastries."

"Really?"

"Yes, really." Meng Tingwan nodded vigorously.

Old Madam Cheng still didn't believe it. "Where are the pastries? Let me see them."

Knowing that she was not easily fooled, Meng Tingwan took the things she had brought and handed her an exquisite box.

Cheng Yu said that the old lady loved the pastries from this shop the most, but because of her age and illness, she couldn't eat sweets, so he stopped buying them for her.

Old Madam Cheng held the box of pastries carefully, muttering something to herself.

Meng Tingwan didn't quite hear it.

This box of pastries was custom-made; no sugar was added, and other ingredients were used instead, so the original flavor of the pastries is not lost.

"Grandma, I didn't lie to you, did I? If you drink your medicine, I'll let you have a piece of food."

Old Madam Cheng raised her head, tears welling in her cloudy eyes. She took the medicine from Meng Tingwan's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Meng Tingwan held a tissue in her hand and wiped her mouth after she finished drinking the medicine.

Suddenly, Madam Cheng spoke up, "I haven't eaten this in a long time."

“He used to give me pastries from this shop whenever I needed to take medicine.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Tingwan froze in shock.

The "he" in this sentence likely refers to Cheng Yu's grandfather.
