Jiang Wan put on her clothes and hurriedly went downstairs.
As soon as I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I ran into Gu Yang.
"Wanwan, I called you but you didn't answer, so I came to check on Summer."
He waved the imported canned dog food in his hand.
"This is its favorite canned food; I asked someone to bring it back for it."
Jiang Wan kept walking, looking back as she went.
"Gu Yang, I have an urgent matter to attend to. Let's do it another day."
Gu Yang had never seen her so anxious before, and her voice even sounded choked with sobs.
"I drove here, I'll take you there."
He immediately caught up, "Wanwan, I'll drive, you navigate."
The matter was urgent, so Jiang Wan no longer stood on ceremony with him.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium.
Gu Yang looked puzzled, but Jiang Wan didn't have time to explain before pushing open the car door and striding inside.
Gu Yang parked the car and followed her inside.
Inside the room, Grandma had calmed down, but upon seeing Jiang Wan, the tears she had just wiped away flowed again.
Jiang Wan hugged her tenderly and wiped away her tears.
"Grandma, it's alright, Wanwan's here, it's alright."
Grandma struggled to lift her droopy eyelids and touched Jiang Wan's face.
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan. Grandma will chase that bad woman away, but she won't hit Wanwan."
"A bad woman?" Jiang Wan looked up at the dean. "Has anyone been here?"
The dean took out his phone and pulled up a video.
"That's exactly what I was about to tell you, Miss Jiang. Take a look, do you know this person?"
Jiang Wan clicked to play the video, and saw the elderly people doing outdoor activities in the playground in the backyard of the nursing home.
In the video recorded by the dean, Grandma is knitting with her old friends, and laughter can be heard from time to time in the video.
Suddenly, on the roadside, which is separated from the playground only by an iron gate.
A middle-aged woman with a ponytail was frantically calling out her grandmother's name.
The camera immediately focused on her, and the dean's voice rang out in the video, telling her to leave.
But the woman not only ignored him, she cried and screamed, and kept kicking and banging on the iron gate.
Some elderly people already have mental health issues, and when stimulated, they immediately lose control of their emotions, with screams and cries echoing throughout.
The video abruptly ended.
"Your grandmother was very agitated at the time, so we quickly took everyone back to their rooms and calmed her down for a long time. Miss Jiang, who exactly is this woman?"
Jiang Wan remained silent, all the blood rushing to her head, her extreme anger causing her hand holding the phone to tremble.
"Wanwan." Gu Yang stepped forward and handed the phone back to the dean. "Calm down, Grandma... is watching you."
Jiang Wan looked down and saw her grandmother looking at her with teary eyes, her timid appearance causing her heart to ache.
She knelt on the ground and embraced her grandmother, just as she had protected herself back then.
"It's alright now. She'll never come again, and she'll never hurt me again. It's alright now."
With Jiang Wan's comforting words, Grandma gradually calmed down and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Wan followed the dean to his office.
"Miss Jiang, this woman has actually come here many times before. She always just peeks out from the door, and we didn't pay much attention to her. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today?"
"Is this woman... a relative of yours?"
Jiang Wan shook her head: "No, please, please don't let her in."
The dean agreed, but his expression was very troubled.
"Ms. Jiang, to be honest, today's events have caused dissatisfaction among many family members. Someone came to see me this afternoon, saying that there are unstable factors at the nursing home."
"I hope you can understand my difficulties and resolve this issue as soon as possible."
Jiang Wan quickly apologized.
Gu Yang stepped forward from behind, took out a business card, and handed it to him.
"Hello, Dean. I am a shareholder of Gu's Catering. I was planning to find a nursing home in Haicheng to cooperate on a charity project, but unfortunately I haven't found a reliable one yet."
"Wanwan just said your place was nice and brought me here. It really is nice. So, are you interested in this project?"
The dean took the business card: "Gu's Catering? Which Gu's Catering mentioned on the TV news?"
Gu Yang nodded.
The dean was immediately overjoyed.
"Of course I'm interested. May I ask what project it is?"
"The Gu family has promised to provide our sanatorium with free breakfast and lunch for two years, at a standard that is no worse than the current one, and they will also sponsor two events each year."
"As for my personal motives, of course I want to ask our nursing home to take extra care of Grandma's situation. What do you think?"
The dean was stunned.
This is like a windfall! There's no need to hesitate.
"This is our duty, why ask us for help? On behalf of the sanatorium, I thank Gu's Catering."
She was overjoyed and took out her phone to make a call immediately.
"I'll have someone make the banner right now, and we'll hang it at the cafeteria entrance tomorrow."
"I wonder if you need to discuss this with the company?"
Gu Yang smiled and said, "No need. I'll send someone over to coordinate with you first thing tomorrow morning. As for Grandma..."
"Don't worry, we will take even better care of Grandma's affairs."
Gu Yang squeezed Jiang Wan's arm.
"That's good, then we'll take our leave now."
Jiang Wan left the sanatorium in a daze, and it wasn't until she got into the car that she came to her senses.
"Gu Yang, thank you."
"Wanwan, there's no need for such formalities between us."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Actually... you can trust me. You can tell me anything."
He had always known that Jiang Wan was very secretive about her family; she had never mentioned her parents.
He often mentions his grandmother, and the two have a very deep bond.
"Gu Yang, I'll definitely tell you when I have the chance in the future. Right now... there is something I really need your help with."
Only a few people knew about Grandma's stay at the nursing home.
She couldn't say that, so naturally, only her eldest uncle was left.
Jiang Wan's hometown is a small village more than 100 kilometers away from here.
Gu Yang drove, and arrived in less than forty minutes.
Jiang Wan got off the car and wandered around the village familiarly.
It's midday and the sun is high in the sky; there aren't many people wandering around the village.
She knocked on one of the red iron gates, and a man's low growl quickly came from inside.
"Damn it, who is it now? I told you guys to give me a couple of days' notice, and if I keep pressing you, I won't get a single penny!"
Jiang Wan continued knocking, and the door was opened angrily, revealing a flushed face.
"Are you ever going to stop... Jiang... Jiang Wan? What, it's you?"
"Uncle, how have you been?"
Jiang Wan led Gu Yang through the door. On the dining table behind the door, there was a bottle of wine and several vegetarian dishes.
Jiang Wan shook his head inwardly. Drinking like this in the middle of the day, no wonder no one respects him and he'll be a bachelor for life.
Uncle Jiang was drunk and his whole body was flushed, but his eyes kept darting between Gu Yang and Jiang Wan.
"Girl, how many years has it been since you last came back? Why did you suddenly appear today?"
Jiang Wan didn't beat around the bush with him.
"Uncle, who did you tell about Grandma's situation at the nursing home?"
Uncle Jiang blinked, avoiding Jiang Wan's gaze.
It really is related to him!
"Uncle, who did you tell?"
"I don't go out at all, who can I tell? Besides, you won't even let me see you, who else can I tell?"
Jiang Wan was furious when she saw that he wasn't telling the truth.
Gu Yang tugged at her, went out, took an unlabeled can of food from the car, and opened it.
Instantly, the aroma of meat filled the air, and the few vegetarian dishes on the table that were meant to accompany the drinks suddenly seemed insufficient.
"Uncle, how can you have alcohol with just vegetables? How about some canned food I brought back from abroad?"
Uncle Jiang sniffed, couldn't resist picking up a piece and throwing it into his mouth, then took a sip of wine.
"Awesome! That meat is still the best!"
Gu Yang pointed to the ground by the door: "Uncle, we came in a hurry, and we only had these canned foods in the car. If you like them, you can have them all."
Uncle Jiang ate with his mouth full of oil, nodding repeatedly.
Gu Yang seized the opportunity to speak.
"So...do you have an answer to what Wanwan asked you earlier?"
