Chapter 225 Original Sin 34
Although Qiangqiang seemed to really enjoy eating the white jade cake, after having three pieces, he couldn’t eat anymore. Yun Shuangshuang scooped two spoonfuls of egg custard into a small bowl and handed it to Qiangqiang. The egg custard had a beautiful color, and the sauce drizzled on top looked very tempting. Qiangqiang took the palm-sized bowl without much resistance and finished the egg custard in a few mouthfuls.
Smacking his lips, Qiangqiang rubbed his little tummy, his eyebrows furrowing as he stared at the food on the table, but didn’t reach out for more. Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t very familiar with Qiangqiang and didn’t quite understand, but Professor Zhang knew his grandson very well.
Qiangqiang, being introverted, didn’t like to talk. The only way Professor Zhang could communicate with his little grandson was by carefully observing Qiangqiang’s every gesture and facial expression. As soon as Qiangqiang made that expression, Professor Zhang knew that Qiangqiang couldn’t eat anymore, but he still wanted to.
Professor Zhang excitedly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye. A strong sense of hope rose in her heart. Her little grandson was not only speaking and eating, but also had a good appetite.
Professor Zhang, who was almost in despair, finally saw hope for her grandson’s recovery. However, after her excitement subsided, she took the food away from in front of Qiangqiang. Qiangqiang’s stomach had been in a state of hunger for too long, and she didn’t dare let him eat too much, fearing his body couldn’t handle it.
After quickly eating some roasted meat to fill her stomach, Professor Zhang didn’t even notice the exquisite taste. In stark contrast, the driver, who originally wasn’t keen on working overtime at night, devoured the food with his head down, feeling that just for this meal, the overtime was completely worth it!
The driver ate and calculated in his heart, thinking that he should monopolize this job in the future. No need for overtime pay; as long as the boss treated him to a meal at Red Dust each time, he would be satisfied!
After eating to his fill, Professor Zhang generously slapped down thirty thousand yuan on the counter, stating that this money was a deposit, and from now on, she would stay here with her little grandson. All expenses would be deducted from this money, and she would top it up once it ran out. Professor Zhang, who had advocated against extravagance and waste her whole life, was splurging for the sake of her beloved grandson.
Yun Shuangshuang really liked Qiangqiang and spent the past few days making various delicious foods for him every day. Qiangqiang seemed to appreciate this, eating heartily, although he couldn’t eat much each time, but his appetite was indeed increasing daily.
Qiangqiang was happy every day. Yun Shuangshuang and Feng Jinyan were also delighted to have such a major client, but of course, Professor Zhang was the happiest of all. The worry that she couldn’t hide in her eyes had lessened considerably.
On Saturday, Liu Ying and Lu Jian came again. This time, they came for a relaxing trip, bringing nothing to eat, only a change of clothes, planning to spend the weekend here.
Ever since Liu Ying and Lu Jian wore the traditional costumes last time, Yun Shuangshuang took the opportunity to go to F City and had over a hundred sets of men’s and women’s traditional costumes custom-made. She also had many wigs and traditional accessories made, and specifically opened two large fitting rooms, one for each gender, to store these costumes.
This time, Liu Ying and Lu Jian immediately sought out Yun Shuangshuang to dress up in traditional costumes as soon as they arrived. Being at a place like Red Dust, not wearing traditional costumes felt out of place, especially when seeing that everyone inside, including Professor Zhang and her grandson, was wearing traditional costumes.
