Lin Fei looked at Lu Han’s handsome face and wondered why he had his eyes closed like that. As she looked up, she saw Guan Tong standing by his side.

“So, it’s you. The ugly girl came back.” Lin Fei said mockingly when she saw Guan Tong. Lin Fei saw that Guan Tong had come with the handsome man in the wheelchair, and she predicted that he was in a comatose state.

Guan Tong had a bad feeling when she saw Lin Fei. She was afraid that Lin Fei would reveal her identity and the substitute marriage she had agreed to. Sure enough, Lin Fei was clueless and didn’t notice Guan Tong’s look at all.

“You’re back? We all thought that you were killed by the Young Master of the Lu family.” Lin Fei jokingly said.

Uncle Tang knew about the substitute marriage because he was the one who discovered it during his investigation. However, Guan Tong was a good person, and she was kind and intelligent. Uncle Tang loved this girl from the bottom of his heart and suspected that the Lin family must not have been kind to her, but he didn’t know it would be this bad. The Lin family was also a well-known family in the Capital’s society. Uncle Tang almost couldn’t believe how Guan Tong was being treated.

“Tongtong!” Zhang Lin still tried to cover it up. Lin Fei also knew that she said too much, but she wasn’t going to apologize. Instead, she quietly sat down on the sofa.

“Haha, although this girl is a cousin, she has been raised by my side since she was young. I’ve spoiled her.” Zhang Lin smiled embarrassedly.

“Where’s my grandmother?” Guan Tong wanted to cut the nonsense and went straight to the point.

“She’s resting on the side of the courtyard.” Zhang Lin quickly answered.

“What?” Guan Tong was in disbelief and turned pale with fright. “Why didn’t you send Grandmother to the hospital?”

“Little girl! Why are you talking to me with that tone of voice?” Zhang Lin immediately cursed.

“The Lin family gave you food and drinks. How are you so ungrateful to your elders? Today, I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father.” Zhang Lin was in the wrong here, of course. She had promised Guan Tong to transfer her grandmother to a better hospital, but Zhang Lin’s heart ached for the money, so she simply brought Guan Tong’s grandmother back to the side courtyard and asked the nurse to take a look. Zhang Lin didn’t take good care or even bother to look at the sick grandmother.

Zhang Lin was bluffing. She pointed to Guan Tong’s face with her index finger and angrily yelled at her. She must have forgotten how she used to beg Guan Tong’s parents when she depended on them before their deaths. Guan Tong’s uncle indeed had money to spend on Zhang Lin these past years, but the amount is few and far between. It was only enough to count with one hand.

Guan Tong thought of her grandmother’s suffering for her all these years. She clenched her fists, and a shocking coldness flashed through her eyes. “I advise you to immediately transfer Grandmother to a better hospital and get her the best treatment. Or else…”

“Or else what? You ugly girl, someone must’ve taught you how to threaten that you’re speaking to me like this…” Zhang Lin mocked Guan Tong’s ultimatum.

“Or else, the Lin family will be in big trouble.” At this moment, a clear male voice was suddenly heard. Everyone was stunned when they heard this voice. There was no one else in this room other than Uncle Tang. Moreover, the voice was from someone young. It didn’t seem like it came from Lu Han’s butler.

Could it be…

Everyone looked down and saw that Lu Han, who was presumably in a comatose state, had opened his eyes. Lu Han, who was initially sitting in the wheelchair, slowly stood up. Zhang Lin was so scared that she leaned back and fell onto the sofa when she saw this. Lin Fei was also stunned at this moment. Lu Han’s eyes were so hypnotizing.

Guan Tong was shocked that Lu Han decided to expose himself.

“Young Master Lu…” Zhang Lin muttered.

“I didn’t know that the Lin family could be this unbelievable.” Lu Han looked down from above. His eyes were cold. Those who dared to bully him were simply tired of being alive.

“Which courtyard is the Old Madam in?” Lu Han sternly asked. As he thought of all the pain and suffering that Guan Tong and her grandmother endured through all these years, he felt like he could kill someone.

“In…In the side courtyard.” Zhang Lin was so scared that she couldn’t finish her sentence.

“Well, lead the way.” The housekeeper led everyone to the side courtyard with Lu Han’s order.

The deeper Guan Tong went, the colder her heart became. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. At a glance, it was apparent that no one had been here a long time. Moreover, it was gloomy and cold. Some of the damp areas were covered with moss and vegetation. How could grandmother receive good treatment in a place like this?

“Although the environment is a little bad, I asked a nurse to take good care and check in on her every day.” Zhang Lin saw the cold eyes of Guan Tong and Lu Han, so she quickly tried to make up an excuse.

Guan Tong scoffed angrily when she heard this. How was it possible that a big house like the Lin family’s could not host a frail, old lady? Zhang Lin had arranged for her grandmother to stay on the side of the courtyard. It was clear to Guan Tong that Zhang Lin had no care for her grandmother. Finally, they arrived at the small wooden house where her grandmother resided. This shabby wooden house was a stark contrast with the magnificently-built house on the side.

“Grandmother…” There was no movement inside at all. Guan Tong carefully pushed the door open and called out in a low voice. But there was still no sound. Guan Tong was anxious. In the past, no matter how bad her grandmother’s health was, she would always respond to her, but now Guan Tong couldn’t hear anything at all..
