980 A Jealous Heart
Just as Lin Yu was about to speak, Zhou Mo, who was beside her, answered first. “Yun Xi and my little uncle went home together. Grandpa needs a lot of things to be hospitalized, so they went home to get some daily necessities.
Zhou Mo thought that by saying this, Hu Guo would not continue to pester him.
However, unexpectedly, Hu Guo only snorted and did not take the matter seriously.
They even thought that Yun Xi was putting on an act.
She immediately said, “Ahh, so they went back to get something. Isn’t it enough for one person to go back? Zhou Lin was so strong that he probably doesn’t need a woman’s help. If you ask me, I think Yun Xi just doesn’t want to stay in the ward.”
Hu Guo kept on talking, and even Lin Yu could not stand it anymore.
Lin Yu continued, “However, there are many things that need to be done carefully. Little uncle was a man, after all, and he might have missed something. If Yun Xi is by his side, she can help uncle to make better choices.”
Lin Yu and Zhou Mo had originally wanted to ignore Hu Guo, but they had both seen what Yun Xi had done.
After all, Yun Xi had already taken care of Old Master Zhou and had been doing her best. They could not say anything bad.
On the other hand, Hu Guo had been trying to criticize Yun Xi moment she entered and said a lot of strange things.
Hu Guo was even more indignant when she heard Lin Yu speaking up for Yun Xi. “I’ve seen a lot of people who pretend to be filial. They look very worried on the surface and want to slack off when they have the opportunity.”
“Yun Xi can just ask the driver to drive over and place all the things in the car. Why would she need Zhou Lin to go with her?”
Hu Guo pouted. What she was implying was that Yun Xi was too delicate and that even her filial piety was an act.
Lin Yu was not the only one who was upset. Zhou Mo also felt that Hu Guo had gone overboard and immediately interrupted, “Before you came, Yun Xi was the one who took care of grandfather. Lin Yu and I have only been here for a short while, so Yun Xi has already done enough. Someone needs to take care of this place, and Yun Xi didn’t even sleep well.”
Zhou Mo and Lin Yu kept praising Yun Xi.
However, how could Hu Guo listen to so much?
Hu Guo’s mind was only filled with Zhou Lin. Yun Xi was merely a stumbling block.
Hu Guo hated Yun Xi from the bottom of her heart. If it was not for Yun Xi’s existence, she would be the one with Zhou Lin!
In addition, the two of them had enmity because of Zhou Lin. Hu Guo naturally hated it when others spoke up for Yun Xi.
“Hey, Brother Zhou Mo, you two are too kind. You’re not even here to watch, so who knows what Yun Xi has done? Maybe…” Hu Guo did not finish his sentence.
She looked extremely annoying!
Lin Yu continued, “You’re right. We don’t know what Yun Xi has done, but Grandpa Zhou knows.”
“Enough!” Just as Hu Guo was about to say something, Old Master Zhou chided him from behind, “I’m in the ward, so can the three of you give me some peace and quiet?”
On the surface, it looked like he was reprimanding the three of them, but in reality, he was looking at Hu Guo.
Hu Guo did not dare to say anything else. She could only swallow her saliva and swallow the words he did not say.
“Yun Xi has to go home to get some things. I’m worried about her going back alone, so I let Zhou Lin accompany her. There’s a lot of things to bring, and they’re so heavy. How can Yun Xi handle it all by herself?” Old Master Zhou said this deliberately, hoping that Hu Guo would give up on this idea.
After all, slandering Yun Xi in front of him was simply looking down on him!
“If there’s nothing else, don’t talk nonsense here.” This time, with Old Master Zhou’s words, Hu Guo had been thoroughly slapped in the face.
