Chapter 149 Taking Grandma Away
Xiao Jiayang noticed Xiao You first, "Who is she?"

Nan Wu explained quite naturally, "Oh, my dad was worried that I wouldn't be used to it here, so he specially sent a maid from the Nan family to take care of me!"

Xiao You, being very sensible, bowed to Xiao Jiayang and said, "Hello, Young Master Xiao. My name is Xiao You. You can leave the task of taking care of Miss to me from now on!"

The little girl was very pretty, and although she was small, she had a good figure. Xiao Jiayang's eyes lit up, and his tone softened, "So you're from the Nan family. No problem, no problem!"

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao!"

Xiao Jiayang stroked his chin. "However, I don't think I've ever seen you before at the Nan family's place?"

Just as Nanwu was wondering how to explain, Xiaoyou explained, "My mother has been sick for the past two years, so I went back to my hometown to take care of her. I only recently came back!"

"Oh, so that's it!"

"Miss, Young Master Xiao, you two rest, I'll get back to work!"

Nan Wu closed the door. "Jiayang, the hot water inside has just been turned on. Go take a hot shower!"

Xiao Jiayang then came to his senses and looked quite surprised to see her so attentive in taking his coat and briefcase.

"Wait!" He looked Nan Wu up and down several times, as if trying to confirm something. "Nan Wu, have you taken the wrong medicine? What tricks are you playing? What exactly do you want?"

Nan Wu was completely confused, racking her brains. Could it be that she had done something wrong?
But they're husband and wife; isn't it only natural for them to do these things?
But why would Xiao Jiayang react this way?

"Fine, if you don't want to, then so be it!" This time, Nan Wu made herself appear more indifferent, wanting to see Xiao Jiayang's reaction.

Xiao Jiayang snorted coldly and snatched his things from her hands. "I'm warning you, Nan Wu, don't cause me any more trouble, or I'll expose all your dirty secrets. I'm the eldest young master of the Xiao family, and no one can do anything to me. We'll see who suffers more then, hmph!"

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, his gaze falling on her again. "By the way, I remember you weren't wearing this outfit when you left this morning. Did some random guy buy it for you?"

"Huh?" Nan Wu was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

Xiao Jiayang thought she was feeling guilty, and his expression became even more disgusted. He pointed at Nan Wu and said, "Nan Wu, you're really something!"

Bang!
Nan Wu was locked in the outer room.

After looking confused, she immediately took out her phone and called Su Ying, wanting to know what Su Ying had done in the Xiao family that made Xiao Jiayang hate her so much.

You have to understand, Su Ying represents Nan Wu's image. If she does well, Nan Wu benefits; if she does poorly, Nan Wu suffers.

But to everyone's surprise, the phone rang repeatedly but no one answered.

Meanwhile, in a remote private sanatorium.

Boom!
The old lady pushed the plate to the ground, scattering moldy food all over the floor.

The female caregiver was furious. "You old hag, so you know how to resist now, huh? Whether you want to eat it or not is not up to you! I'm counting on you to make money!"

As she spoke, she winked at the other two caregivers, who then pinned the old lady down on the bed, restraining her hands and head. The other caregiver picked up the food that had fallen on the floor and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eat it! Eat it! If you throw it up, I'll starve you for three days. Let's see if you behave then!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old woman bit his hand hard.

"Hey, you old bastard, you dare bite me? You're asking for it, aren't you? You two hold him down and let me teach this old bastard a lesson. You're asking for trouble!"

When Su Ying and Su Wen entered, they saw their grandmother being held down and beaten by three people. "Stop it!"

Su Wen ran over first, shoved them aside one by one, and then hugged her grandmother tightly. "I'm sorry, Grandma, we're late. We were wrong!"

She turned and glared at the three caregivers. "The old man was sent here to live out his old age in peace, not for you to abuse him. Are you even human? Don't you have parents? Don't you feel any remorse?"

The lead caregiver said matter-of-factly, "We tried to feed her, but she refused to eat. She knocked over the food and even bit me. If we hadn't forced her to eat, she would have starved to death long ago, okay?"

Nan Wu squatted down, rubbed the food on the ground with her fingertip, smelled it, and her expression immediately turned cold.

"It's spoiled! Is this the kind of swill that even dogs wouldn't eat, meant to serve the elderly?"

The caregivers looked at each other, each stubbornly refusing to admit it.

"Impossible! They were all made today, how could they be spoiled? You must have made a mistake!"

"That's right, or maybe it's something the kitchen staff did while they were being lazy. You should go and talk to them. We work so hard every day to take care of the elderly, and you're just causing us trouble? Don't you have any conscience?"

"Fine, you still won't admit it, huh? Then please eat this rotten food first, and we'll believe you!" Su Wen grabbed the food from the ground and forcibly stuffed it into their mouths.

"Fine, you don't have to eat it, Sakura. Go call the police right now and report them for elder abuse! I refuse to believe there's no law in this world!"

Su Ying's sharp gaze swept over them. "I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourselves. Go and pack up my grandmother's things and bring them over right now!"

"Okay, okay, we'll go right away, we'll go right away!" The three caregivers, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly went to pack the food.

Su Wen was confused. "They're not even human. Letting them go like this is too lenient!"

Su Ying brought over some warm water. Seeing that the towel was filthy, she bit her lip and endured it, then wet the towel and used it to wipe her grandmother's hands.

"These are critical times. We shouldn't attract too much attention. The most important thing is to get Grandma away from here as soon as possible!"

Su Wen nodded in agreement.

"Grandma, don't be afraid. Su Wen and I will take you home, okay?" Seeing her grandmother's timid and unfamiliar expression, Nan Wu gently comforted her, thinking that the old lady must have been abused by these people, which was why she looked at everyone with fear.

However, they thought wrong.

Who... are you?

Su Ying and Su Wen exchanged a glance.

Su Wen patiently introduced them, "Grandma, have you forgotten me? This is Xiao Ying, and I'm A Wen. We're your grandson and granddaughter, here to take you away today. Please take a good look at us."

The old woman looked at Su Ying with her cloudy eyes, then at Su Wen, her expression even more confused. "Who is Xiao Ying? And who is A Wen?"

Su Ying and Su Wen were astonished.

As they were leaving, they grabbed one of the caregivers and asked the old lady what was going on and why she didn't recognize her relatives.

The caregiver explained, "The old lady was in this state when she came in. We gave her a full examination and found that she had Alzheimer's disease. Her emotions were very unstable. She would cry and laugh at the same time. Not only did she smash things, but she also often hit the elderly people in the same room. We had no choice but to put her in a separate room!"

“She’s just an old woman who can’t even kill a chicken. You can be harsh, but why abuse her? Don’t you think she’s suffered enough?” Su Wen said emotionally, raising his hand as if to strike.
