Chapter 77: Who Exactly Is She?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Butler Wen spotted the girl, he immediately approached her with a warm welcome, discreetly addressing her as “Young Madam.” He intentionally kept his voice hushed due to the crowded corridor and the fact that Young Madam’s identity had not been officially announced yet. Revealing it to others could potentially lead to trouble for her.
“Grandpa Wen,” Fang Yuan politely greeted him, using the affectionate term “Grandpa” when addressing Butler Wen.
Butler Wen’s heart swelled with warmth. He couldn’t help but feel touched by Young Madam’s genuine familiarity, which stood in stark contrast to the formal “Butler Wen” from everyone else. Her “Grandpa” went straight to his heart.
“The old sir has been eagerly awaiting your arrival for quite some time. Please follow me this way,” Butler Wen respectfully guided Fang Yuan. Those from the Fang Family, the Lu Family, and others who had come to visit Old Master Bo were left astonished.
Fang Liguo blinked, struggling to believe what he had just witnessed.
Song Ling was so taken aback that she couldn’t find her voice, her mouth agape in shock.
Fang Jiayi felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her. She bit her lip and clenched her fists, unable to fathom how Fang Yuan, right before everyone’s eyes, was being led by Butler Wen into that ward. That ward was considered an exclusive privilege!
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was absorbed in her phone, oblivious to the curious and envious glances cast upon her from the crowd. The onlookers were puzzled about her identity, wondering who she could be to receive such exceptional treatment from Butler Wen.
Madam Lu was equally surprised, not expecting the typically reserved Butler Wen to show such respect to this young girl.
In Lu Chen’s heart, it felt as though a seasoning bottle had been overturned, stirring up a mix of emotions. What made Fang Yuan deserving of such a personal welcome from Butler Wen? What made her eligible to enter that ward when others had tried in vain to catch a glimpse of Old Master Bo?
“Fang Yuan!” Song Ling couldn’t contain her astonishment any longer. “You, you…”
Fang Yuan turned around in response to the calling voice, her eyes displaying a sense of detachment and aloofness. As she recognized the caller, she swiftly redirected her attention and followed Butler Wen into the ward.
Although others might not be privy to their relationship, the fact that the Fang Clan acknowledged this girl instantly earned her newfound respect in their eyes.
As the Fang Family members reveled in a heightened sense of prestige, they couldn’t help but wonder how Fang Yuan had secured entry. How did she come to know someone as influential as Old Master Bo?
“Grandpa,” Fang Yuan greeted Butler Wen with politeness as she entered the ward.
Bo Desong’s face lit up with surprise upon seeing Fang Yuan. “My dear Yuanyuan, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you so long that even the flowers have wilted!”
Motioning for her to take a seat, he asked with curiosity, “Why did you come alone? Where’s Yi?”
Fang Yuan responded, “He had some last-minute work at the company, so he had to return.”
“This stubborn brat!” Bo Desong couldn’t help but express his frustration. It was clear that this “stubborn brat” must have grown weary of Yuanyuan. It had only been a few days, yet he was already distant! Yuanyuan was not only beautiful but also highly skilled in medicine. Where else could he find such a remarkable girl? He had initially believed that their marriage would go smoothly, but it seemed that there was still a long way to go. He needed to give his grandson a stern talking-to! How could he be occupied with other matters when such a beautiful girl was right in front of him?
In truth, Bo Yi was not working because he wanted to but because he couldn’t afford to waste any more time if he wanted to have dinner with his beloved later. In order to spend more time with her, he reluctantly abandoned the idea of taking Grandpa out of the hospital.
However, the elderly lady remained unaware of her grandson’s true intentions. She believed that he had lost interest in Yuanyuan after just a few days and was deliberately distancing himself from her.
“It’s alright; let him focus on his work,” Fang Yuan reassured Bo Desong, feeling a sense of relief without the clingy presence of her companion.
In Bo Desong’s eyes, she was displaying an extraordinary level of understanding. “Yi” seemed to be absolved of any wrongdoing, making her even more virtuous in his eyes.
“That young man Yi has experienced quite a lot since he was young, which is why he tends to be reserved and taciturn. I’ll share his past with you sometime in the future,” Bo Desong mentioned.
Fang Yuan, though disinterested in Bo Yi’s past, nodded obediently, playing the role of a dutiful and attentive listener.
Outside the ward,
Fang Jiayi couldn’t help but notice that Lu Chen had been fixated on the entrance to the ward ever since Fang Yuan had entered. She begrudgingly admitted that Fang Yuan looked exceptionally attractive today. Despite her simple attire and casually tied-up hair, her striking facial features and cool demeanor were undeniably attention-grabbing.
Observing that everyone’s thoughts were occupied with Fang Yuan, Fang Jiayi couldn’t resist biting her lip and whispering, “Why does my sister’s personal life have to be so complicated…”
“What did you say?” Song Ling hurriedly inquired, thinking that Fang Jiayi might possess some inside information.
Song Ling’s curiosity was not unique, as both Fang Liguo and the Lu Family members turned their attention to Fang Jiayi, eager to hear more..
