Kang Wei forced a smile and said, “Then I’ll rely on you.”
“No problem, we’re brothers. Today you’re helping me, I won’t really ignore you.” Zhao Ping said as he pushed Kang Wei out, then got into the car with his mother, carrying generous gifts to visit Granny Lin’s house.
Lin Wei still didn’t know about Li Zhen’s accident and was at home taking care of her injured son.
Ever since Lu Ming was attacked last time and got seriously injured, he had been completely downcast, always staying at home, too afraid to see anyone.
Actually, Lin Wei could understand. Which man wouldn’t be devastated if suddenly rendered useless?
The key was that the police still had no clue so far, allowing the culprit to roam free!
“Son, come have something to eat.” Lin Wei lightly knocked on the door, her once elegant face now showing some signs of weariness.
Lu Ming lay on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, not making a sound as if he really were asleep.
But the dark circles under his eyes had deepened to an extent that anyone could see he hadn’t been sleeping well lately.
“Son.” Lin Wei called softly again before pushing the door open and sitting by the bed, placing the bowl of porridge she was holding on the table, coaxing gently, “Son, you have to eat something. Your body needs sustenance to carry on. Listen to me, otherwise, before we find the culprit, your health will deteriorate.”
“Isn’t my health already deteriorating? He might as well have just killed me!” Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes wide, overflowing with hatred.
Lin Wei looked at him with a heartache, “Son, Mom will definitely help you seek revenge. I’ve already spent money hiring a few private detectives to help with the investigation. Those policemen are useless, too scared to investigate the Sheng family, but I’ll have those people gather evidence in secret. If it’s really Sheng Nian and her father who did this to you, Mom won’t let them off easy!”
At the words, Lu Ming suddenly mustered up some strength, trembling as he propped himself up on his arms from the bed, “Mom, you have to catch Sheng Nian. It must be her doing!”
“Alright, alright, so you need to get better first. Here, eat your meal.” Lin Wei coaxed him like this and then handed the bowl to her son.
Lu Ming’s bruised eyes revealed a sickly malice, and the stubble on his chin was so dark, making him look as if he had aged ten years.
He took the bowl, pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his hatred into appetite, devouring the full bowl of food in just a few mouthfuls.
Lin Wei was startled and quickly poured him some water, patting his back to help him swallow, “Slow down, slow down, don’t eat so quickly, you might choke.”
Just as she finished speaking, Lu Ming indeed started coughing.
Lin Wei hurriedly handed him the water, “Quick, drink some to clear your throat.”
“Madam, there are visitors outside looking for you.”
Outside the room, the maid’s voice came in.
Lin Wei impatiently asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s Young Master Zhao and his mother, oh, and also the young master from the Kang family.” The maid politely invited them to sit on the sofa.
Lin Wei wiped her son’s mouth clean of the crumbs and water stains before gracefully walking out, casually closing the bedroom door behind her.
“Oh, it’s you. Why do you have time to bring the kids over today?”
Mrs. Zhao quickly handed over the gift she had in her hand, “I thought we haven’t had a good gathering in a long time? So I specially brought something to see you with my son today. How are you feeling now? How’s Brother Lu?”
Sitting on the sofa with a worried expression, Lin Wei sighed, “I’m fine. I’m just an old woman with not many days left.. I’m just worried about Ah Ming’s health.”
“I brought the best ginseng today. It’s best for Brother Lu to stew and nourish his body. As long as he looks good, his spirits will be much better. You can try it first to see the effect. If it really works, just tell me, I’ll buy the best and send it to you.”
Mrs. Zhao said warmly as she sat next to her.
Lin Wei smiled gratefully, “You’re always so thoughtful. You’re the only one who still comes to see me.”
Seeing the good atmosphere, Mrs. Zhao quickly gave her son a meaningful look.
Zhao Ping immediately understood and quickly moved closer to Lin Wei, massaging her shoulders affectionately, “Granny Lin, you just relax. Uncle Lu will definitely get better. With the advancement of medical technology nowadays, any illness can be treated. I’ll also help inquire and find out who did it that night.”
“You’re so thoughtful.” Lin Wei patted his hand affectionately, her face full of kindness, “Have you been out playing during your vacation recently? I heard Ah Zhen is staying at home every day now, refusing to come out.”
“This child has a stubborn temper, insisting on moving out to live alone. I don’t dare to visit him, afraid he’ll get even more irritated and refuse to come out to see people. You’re his good friend, if you have time, go see him for me.”
Zhao Ping was a little tongue-tied for a moment but quickly responded, “Granny Lin, don’t worry, he’s been hanging out with us today.”
“Really? I knew Alt Zhen must be closest to you and Kang Wei!” Thinking of her grandson, Lin Wei’s kindly smile deepened a bit.
