Chapter 29 - Haven"t We Broken Up?
s.h.i.+ Xuexin had access to good education since she grew up in the Li family. She was cultured and had a lot of achievements.
Yu Xiuhua was delighted with her daughter. Sure enough, her biological daughter was a cut above the rest.
After the s.h.i.+ family hired experts to teach s.h.i.+ Xuexin, she improved in leaps and bounds to win high praise from the elite circles.
Everyone agreed that how far someone could go in life certainly hinged on DNA and not other external factors. Otherwise, why would s.h.i.+ Jin end up useless even after being brought up by the s.h.i.+ family for years? In comparison, s.h.i.+ Xuexin was highly talented.
Both of them were wrapped in thought when they saw a silhouette moving as s.h.i.+ Jin headed towards them.
s.h.i.+ Jin was dressed in a simple white s.h.i.+rt with one end tucked casually into her jeans and looked particularly laid back.
She had beautiful long hair and striking eyes. People could not help turning to look at her. However, she wore a mask so that no one could see her face.
This triggered their sense of curiosity even more.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin smiled as she said, "Hi."
Since she knew what s.h.i.+ Jin looked like, she did not feel threatened by her stunning eyes.
s.h.i.+ Jin glanced at her before she walked past s.h.i.+ Xuexin and Yu Xiuhua and headed straight for the hospital ward.
Yu Xiuhua was furious. "That rude girl! I should have driven her out of the family ages ago!"
She should not have gotten softhearted and allowed s.h.i.+ Jin to stay and ended up keeping a troublemaker around!
Old Master s.h.i.+ was throwing a temper when s.h.i.+ Jin went in and refused to take medicine. The nurses were doing their utmost to persuade him.
"Leave it to me," said s.h.i.+ Jin genially.
The nurse went into a daze briefly when she saw her stunning eyes. She hurriedly gave s.h.i.+ Jin the medicine in relief.
"s.h.i.+ Jin?" Old Master s.h.i.+"s voice finally sounded warm.
"Hi, Grandpa." s.h.i.+ Jin sat down beside him.
Old Master s.h.i.+ sneered, "Have you finally come to see me? You have no conscience!"
Instead, s.h.i.+ Jin smiled and said softly, "Yes, I have no conscience. Come on. Take your meds."
Old Master s.h.i.+"s condition was unstable because he did not take medicine regularly. He had lost his sight due to illness. It started with blurred vision before he went blind completely. He needed help with everything down to using the bathroom.
How could a proud man stand living like that?
Also, time went by particularly slowly for patients who had lost their sight. Since he could not do anything on his own, his temperament changed and he became short-tempered and had mood swings.
The highly paid nurses all tolerated his short fuse. However, the rest of the s.h.i.+ family naturally did not visit often.
Old Master s.h.i.+ took his medicine with s.h.i.+ Jin"s help.
"How are things doing between you and Chu Ling?" Since Old Master s.h.i.+ was blind and people kept hiding things from him, he knew very little about things.
"Didn"t we break up ages ago?" said s.h.i.+ Jin nonchalantly.
Old Master s.h.i.+"s ears had become particularly sharp now, so he could tell she was speaking the truth. "Good. Don"t waste your time on the wrong guy."
s.h.i.+ Jin chatted with Old Master s.h.i.+ a little more before she applied some eye drops for him.
If anyone else came with new medicine, Old Master s.h.i.+ would keep asking about every detail from its ingredients, company, expiry date, and side effects before he agreed to use it. He even had to open it personally.
