Papa Hu was stunned after hearing it. He looked at her in shock. “What did you just say?”
“I said, I have recovered. I am normal again.” Hu Ran stood in front of Papa Hu, like a normal adult. “I remember the car accident two years ago.”
“Are you… Is this real?”
“Father, I am not a normal person when you let me marry into the Sheng family. I won’t blame you for it. After all, you have picked a normal man for me. Do you know that I was put into a shock last night because of my allergy to honey?” Hu Ran was speaking in a very explicit manner to Papa Hu. She was totally different from her usual child-like self.
Papa Hu was so surprised that he could not speak. Then, Third Brothercame forward and held Hu Ran. “Father-in-law, Xiao Ran has indeed recovered.”
“I am glad she is fine now.” Papa Hu nearly cried and held his daughter’s hand tightly. “I am so sorry…”
“Indeed, you should be sorry, Father. Let’s not talk about the accident two years ago. How many days have I only been living in the Sheng family, and I was harmed by someone twice already? I can forget about the glass shards incident, but I must get an explanation about poisoning me with food and putting me into shock.” Hu Ran turned and looked straight at Gu Ziling. “Second Sister-in-law, did you tell Third Brother that you were the one who let the kitchen put honey into the food last night?”
Gu Ziling was stunned when she was pinpointed at. She had never thought that this would happen after Hu Ran came back from the hospital. Hu Ran had actually become a normal person again.
So, she was now at a loss.
“Xiao Ran, you have misunderstood me. We all had the same food for dinner yesterday. We have always been eating this way.”
“Grandpa Sheng, she did not have to change the menu, she just had to change the seasonings.” Hu Ran replied logically. “I don’t care if it was Second Sister-in-law or not, but you are the main caretaker of the Sheng family. Do you think you are not accountable that I have been harmed constantly? Or do you think that you can bully me because I am stupid? And so you can throw everyone off the scent?”
“Xiao Ran, we have yet to look into the incident…”
Hu Ran stopped Papa Hu from talking. “It will be the last time I am hurt in this Sheng family. if it happens again, how are you going to shirk your responsibility again, Second Sister-in-law? You probably thought I would be stupid for a lifetime, right? Let me tell you. If you make me suffer, I shall not go easy on you. I am telling this now so that you will not slander me in future.”
“Don’t get angry, Xiao Ran. Grandpa will give you an explanation.” Grandpa Sheng quickly comforted her.
“Grandpa Sheng, I have seen enough to understand the situation clearly these few days. Lookers-on see most of the game. Do you know why Second Sister-in-law kept troubling us? Because she was worried that once your relationship with Third Brother has improved, Second Brother and her status will be threatened.”
“You have said so much. But do you have any proof?” Gu Ziling asked.
“I don’t care if there is proof or not. Once I, Hu Ran, have made up my mind on something, I will believe it until the end. You better treat me with respect in the future. I have heard enough of you calling me a retarded or a fool. Don’t mess with me. The Gu family is a prestigious family. Isn’t the Hu family one too?”
Now, Papa Hu completely believed that Hu Ran had returned to normal. Because she acted arrogantly, just like her old self before the accident.
Gu Ziling took a deep breath and looked at Grandpa Sheng pitifully. However, Grandpa Sheng pretended not to see it.
“Xiao Ran, it is such great news that you are recovered. In the future, your life with Third Brother will become happier for sure!”
“I hope so.” Hu Ran sounded somewhat mischievous. “As long as Second Sister-in-law carries out her duties accordingly, I think I can still tolerate her.”
Gu Ziling never expected that feeding her honey yesterday would make her regain her consciousness.
Had she shot herself in the foot again?
What made her even more unbelievable was that Hu Ran was actually a very arrogant and unkind person. She was a total hot-tempered young lady. If it was for real, then the Sheng family would be turned upside down.
“Xiao Ran, you have just regained your consciousness. Why don’t you go to the hospital to get a full body checkup?”
“Please be assured, Father-in-law. Xiao Ran has already done it. The doctor said it was a miracle,” said Third Brother quickly.
“Well then.”
“Father, we shall talk in private later. There is something I need to tell you.”
Papa Hu patted Hu Ran’s head lovingly. It was his wish to see his daughter recover.
When everyone was dining, Sheng Kai finally came home.
He entered the hall and took off his coat. Before he could sit down beside Gu Ziling, he sensed it was a bit weird with the atmosphere in the dining hall.
“What’s wrong?”
“Since Xiao Ran has recovered, Third Brother should be able to focus on helping Second Brother to improve the performance of Huang Yao.” Grandpa Sheng said it to all the Shengs, including Sheng Kai.
Why had Hu Ran encountered danger again and again? He knew it in his heart, more clearly than anyone else. Now that Hu Ran has recovered, her presence would be able to suppress Gu Ziling’s arrogance. When they were competing with each other, it was actually beneficial to the Sheng family.
“What is this?”
“Sister-in-law has regained consciousness.” Cu Ziling uttered coldly.
“Second Brother, I shall introduce myself formally. I am Hu Ran.”
Seeing Hu Ran stretching out her hand for a handshake, Sheng Kai felt awkward. Apparently, Hu Ran could interact with other people normally.
“How do you do, Sister-in-law.”
Gu Ziling’s face was gloomy. But she had nowhere to vent her anger. The Sheng family was suffocating enough for her already. And now, Hu Ran had joined in the battle.
Third Brother Looked at his wife, then at Sheng Kai.
He’s afraid that the Sheng family would have a bloody battle soon.
After dinner, Hu Ran and Papa Hu strolled in the garden of Sheng Mansion. Papa Hu was still smiling. “In this way, your mother and I can be at ease now.”
“Don’t say it too early, Father. Do you know how I got into the accident in the tunnel two years ago?”
“Wasn’t it because there was a car driving in the wrong lane?”
“He hit me on purpose,” explained Hu Ran, “And the man was hired by none other than your good wife.”
Papa Hu could not believe what he had just heard. “Xiao Ran…”
“I know you will not believe it. And I don’t have evidence to prove it. But I just want to remind you to be careful with that woman. She is not a good person. It’s not that I oppose your remarriage. If she is a kind woman, I will support you with all my heart so that you have a company in the rest of your life. But if she is an evil woman, how can I be rest assured? Father, if you think that what I said is wrong, you can investigate the accident. I don’t believe that no clue will be found.”
Papa Hu remained silent.
“You should be careful.”
Papa Hu nodded and patted on Hu Ran’s shoulder. “I will find out the truth and bring you justice.”
Although he had already promised to conceive a child with that woman, he had a more pressing matter to attend to.
