70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 394: Grandparents Are Coming to the Imperial City

"These things are too much. Send some back to Mumu’s grandparents to eat," Professor Song said casually, glancing at the things people had sent over. He couldn’t consume so much, and leaving them here would be wasteful.

"No need. These are supplements for Sir Song’s health. My family doesn’t lack these," Xu Mumu replied with a smile, shaking her head.

At noon, Zhou Yunhong brought food over, and Xu Mumu and the others stayed here with Professor Song. While lying in bed, Professor Song was never idle and kept reading diligently.

Professor Song had already handed over his work, and he wasn’t busy for the time being. Xu Mumu came over every day to change his books. Although Professor Song had a bit of presbyopia, he was quite a fast reader and was unoccupied now.

As soon as Xu Mumu returned to the little courtyard from school, she received a call from home.

After answering, her mood became complicated, once again marveling at her family’s nonchalance.

Grandpa and Grandma were bringing her little brother to the Imperial City. They already knew about Professor Song’s injury, which was why they were coming specifically to visit.

"Yin Yang, what should I do? My grandparents are bringing my little brother to the Imperial City," Xu Mumu said, feeling a bit of a headache as she walked out to see Yin Yang.

Yin Yang was helping his grandfather sort things out. Professor Song was not used to staying in the hospital and was preparing to come back to recuperate.

Yin Yang paused in his packing. Xu Mumu’s grandparents were even older than his own grandfather, yet they were heading for the Imperial City with a little child, showing quite some boldness.

"Don’t worry, in a couple of days I’ll have Yun Hong wait at the station. When they get off the train, he can bring them straight here," Yin Yang said with his own bit of concern, hoping the elderly couple wouldn’t run into trouble on the way.

Meanwhile, Madam Chen and Old Xu had already boarded the train, with Xu Minghui helping them buy sleeper tickets.

As to why Xu Minghui agreed for them to go to the Imperial City, the old couple was in good health, at least better than Professor Song. Plus, Madam Chen was quite formidable in the team before; few dared to confront her, so there was no worry of trouble. Besides, there were police officers on the train.

Also, Xu Mumu and the others had been called, so they would definitely pick up the elderly couple later.

"I have to take a day off the day after tomorrow," Xu Mumu said, pressing her lips together, still feeling a bit uneasy.

"Okay, I’ll take the day off too so we can go to the station together to pick them up," Yin Yang replied warmly.

"You should be busy preparing for early graduation, yet you make time for this," Xu Mumu said, a bit embarrassed.

"It’s alright, it’s just one day. One day won’t make much difference in studies. It won’t affect me at all," Yin Yang replied with a smile, not minding at all.

With that matter decided, the next day, after Ji Xiaofeng and the others helped bring Professor Song home, Xu Mumu started preparing a room for the elderly couple.

Although the courtyard appeared small, it had quite a few rooms. The elderly couple would have a comfortable stay. Moreover, they had properties in the Imperial City, including a courtyard house prepared by Yin Yang for marriage, and another property of hers, though it was still under renovation.

The house lacked nothing, and neither of them was short on money.

Professor Song and Professor Jian were both quite happy to hear that Old Xu’s couple was coming.

"Mumu, I still have money here. Keep it for when your grandparents come and buy some nice things," Professor Song handed Xu Mumu a bank book.

"Thank you, Sir Song, but no need. Yin Yang and I aren’t short on money. You should keep it to buy food or materials," Xu Mumu directly refused. Each month she received a large sum from Huo Qingze, so she didn’t lack what Professor Song offered.

Moreover, with Professor Song being an elder, there was no need to spend his money on the Xu family’s elders. Accepting it would trouble her conscience.

"Grandpa, we don’t lack money," Yin Yang said helplessly. They indeed lacked nothing, with the Yin family’s assets enough to support Xu Mumu and him comfortably for a lifetime.

"Yours is yours. This is a little gesture from me," Professor Song said while placing the money into Yin Yang’s hand, instructing him to buy things. Since he didn’t spend much, having worked only a year in the Imperial City, he had saved up quite a bit of money and coupons.

"Alright then, I’ve taken it, and you should rest well," Yin Yang put the money away without much fuss. Though it wasn’t needed, the money would be spent on his grandpa anyway, so it was fitting for him to bear the expense when Xu Mumu’s grandparents arrived.

Indeed, once Yin Yang took the money, Professor Song seemed pleased, while Yin Yang received a playful glare from Xu Mumu.

Exiting Professor Song’s room, Xu Mumu cast a glance at Yin Yang, "Why did you take Sir Song’s money?"

"If I didn’t, grandpa would find ways to force it on us. I’m just keeping it for him, to buy him nutritional supplements later," Yin Yang replied with a gentle smile, squeezing Xu Mumu’s hand to reassure her.

"Okay, you’re right," Xu Mumu nodded, agreeing that there wasn’t a better option. Keeping the money wasn’t a big deal; it’s not like Professor Song knew what they spent it on.

After the two reached an agreement, Professor Song continued reading, unaware of their arrangements. Naturally, Xu Mumu and the others wouldn’t bring it up to him specifically.

During Professor Song’s hospital stay, Ji Xiaofeng and another came daily to care for him, attending to him more meticulously than one would typically their own father at home.

Right now, the household lacked no nutritional supplements, which Xu Mumu organized carefully. Everything Professor Song needed to drink was arranged by Mrs. Liu daily.

The next day, after breakfast, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang went to the train station together. After inquiring about the departure time, the elderly couple was expected to arrive in the morning.

Zhou Yunhong had other matters to tend to, so Yin Yang drove them there himself. Xu Mumu carried a small bag and held a newspaper, waiting with Yin Yang in the waiting hall.

The newspaper was bought by Yin Yang at a kiosk outside the station, worried for Xu Mumu’s boredom.

The household didn’t lack newspapers, as both Professor Song and Professor Jian often brought copies back from outside the school, and the courtyard even had a box to store them.

The two waited outside, where announcements were made before each train’s arrival.

Xu Mumu looked at the contents of the newspaper. It was somewhat authoritative, featuring useful information about recent events.

Seeing an article occupying a large section, Xu Mumu grinned, pondering whether solar generators were finally entering the public’s view.
