Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time!-Chapter 984 - Pretending to be pitiful

984 Pretending to be pitiful

Lin Yu smiled, “Grandpa, I’ll go out and look for Zhou Mo then. I’ll come back to take care of you later.”

After saying that, she opened the door of the ward and was ready to go out.

How could this be?! It was not easy for Hu Guo to win Lin Yu over, so how could he let Lin Yu go so easily?

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to leave, Hu Guo quickly stood up and prepared to follow. “Grandfather, I don’t have anything to do here. Why don’t I go with sister-in-law to take a look? ”

“Maybe Brother Zhou mo is in a hurry. I can help if I go.” Hu Guo said anxiously, afraid that the straw she had just grabbed would fly away.

Before Hu Guo could leave, Old Master Zhou coughed and said, “Ahem, Hu Guo, I hasn’t seen you in a long time. I just chatted with your grandpa, so I wanted to ask you how you’ve been.”

Since Old Master Zhou had already spoken, Hu Guo could only stop in her tracks.

Lin Yu stood at the door and could not help but smile. Old Master Zhou, who was lying on the hospital bed, secretly gave Lin Yu a look, signaling for him to leave. This was simply a timely help!

Hu Guo had wanted to catch up to Lin Yu, but she never thought that she would be one step behind. Naturally, Hu Guo was upset, so she could only walk back while pouting.

“I know that the incident last time hurt you a lot, but I know that you’re a strong girl.” Old Master Zhou looked at Hu Guo gently. Although he had created a chance for Lin Yu to leave, he was still thinking about this matter.

After all, to a girl, innocence was the most important thing!

Hu Guo had not appeared for a long time since the last incident. From his conversation with old man Hu, he learned that this incident had hurt Hu Guo quite a bit.

“I heard that it was Yun Xi who brought people to save you?” Old Master Zhou asked.

When he heard the words ‘Yun Xi’, Hu Guo could not help but feel resentful.

‘Yun Xi? What bullsh*t!’ Hu Guo cursed in his heart. She did not want to hear about Yun Xi at all.

In Hu Guo’s opinion, if it had not been for Yun Xi, she would never have ended up like this. So, everything had happened because of Yun Xi.

Hu Guo attributed everything to Yun Xi.

However, in front of her own grandfather and the Zhou family’s Old Master, Hu Guo naturally could not say what she was thinking. She could only smile and nod pretentiously. “Yes, Grandpa Zhou.”

“If it wasn’t for Yun Xi’s timely arrival, I’m afraid I would have already… That’s why I’m still very grateful to Yun Xi from the bottom of my heart.” Hu Guo put on an act. It would be a pity if she did not study acting.

Old Master Zhou did not know what Hu Guo was thinking, but he could tell with his eyes that Hu Guo was nt grateful to Yun Xi.

At that time, if Yun Xi had not given Hu Qian face, Hu Guo would have lost her innocence.

Although Yun Xi did not intend for Hu Guo to be grateful to her because of one thing, she did not expect Hu Guo to be so ungrateful!

If she had known earlier, Yun Xi would not have brought people to save Hu Guo.

Seeing how much Old Master Zhou cared about her, Hu Guo had an idea. She quickly walked up to him and said in a sobbing tone, “Grandpa Zhou, I took a long time to let go of this matter. I don’t even have a job in the army now. I’ve been feeling very sad these days!”

“If it wasn’t for this incident, how could I have lost my job in the army?” Hu Guo said with tears in her eyes, but in her heart, she was also constantly thinking of ideas.

“My grandfather knows that I’ve been sick for many days. Every night, as long as I fall asleep, the scene of that day will appear in front of me. I’ll wake up in nightmares almost every night.” Hu Guo’s words were not completely false. The truth and lies were mixed together.

After all, Hu Guo had indeed been afraid at the time, and because of this, she had not slept well for several nights.
