《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 46: Grandpa Finds Out
Advertisement
At the hospital, Director Xu and Lin Liguo accompanied Old Master Li for a physical examination.
Li Nanchen closed his eyes and leaned against the cold wall. A deep sense of exhaustion engulfed him.
The door opened and the nurse pushed Old Master Li back to the ward. He quickly found Director Xu and asked with a frown on his face, "How's the situation?"
"The Old Master's bodily functions are gradually improving. During the examination, we found that his fingers can actually bend slightly, and the time he can stay conscious is increasing. We can consider a rehabilitation program, but the specifics still depend on his willpower... and Doctor Lin's treatment plan."
Director Xu said politely, but Lin Liguo put on an arrogant attitude!
"President Li, what do you think? I'll do what I promised! So isn't it about time for you to fulfill your promise as well? Your marriage with Piaopiao..." Lin Liguo pressed him. He kept feeling uneasy, fearing that Wu Mei would come back and disrupt his plans!
Li Nanchen's gaze was slightly perfunctory as he took out a bank card that he had prepared beforehand and threw it to Lin Liguo.. He said, "Twenty million, take it as your remuneration."
"It's very busy at the company now. We can talk about the wedding later."
Lin Liguo wanted to say something more, but when he thought about how that 20 million would allow him to live happily for a while, he picked up the card and reluctantly dropped the subject.
"Go on out," Li Nanchen ordered him to leave. He only relaxed slightly after Lin Liguo left.
He rubbed his temples, which were throbbing. He flipped through each page of the medical report page to look at the stats and asked, "Was it him who treated Grandpa?"

"I'm not sure, but the situation was critical at that time. The old man did recover under Dr Lin's care."
Director Xu had been a doctor for many years, but he had never seen such a capable colleague. He really wanted to spar with Lin Liguo, but every time he asked about the specific medical technique, Lin Liguo would be vague about it, causing him to be suspicious.
Li Nanchen held his head with his hands. Hearing these words, a figure involuntarily appeared in his mind. Wu Mei...
She had also treated Grandpa previously.
He wondered what she was doing now and whether she hated him to death.
At the nurses' station in the hospital, Wu Yi, who was carrying nutritional supplements, was dressed in a white dress and looked as innocent as a student. She found her way to Old Master Li's ward.
She knocked lightly on the door and entered the room smilingly. She greeted the caretaker, who was massaging Grandpa Li, and said, "I'm Li Nanchen's friend. I'm here to see Grandpa."
Old Master Li was not well acquainted with Wu Yi, but she was Wu Mei's younger sister after all, so he greeted her politely.
"Let me do it!" Wu Yi placed the things on the dining table and approached the bed, taking the initiative to massage Old Master Li.
The old man, who had been bedridden for years, gave off a sickly feeling. Wu Yi's brows knitted together. A tinge of impatience and disgust flashed across the depths of her eyes, but she quickly hid it and said softly, "Grandpa, is this amount of strength alright? You have to recover quickly so that Brother-in-law can rest assured."
"Oh, I was wrong. She and Big Brother Nanchen have gotten a divorce. I can't call him that anymore," Wu Yi pretended to accidentally spill the beans.

Old Master Li was so agitated that he coughed. His voice was hoarse as he said, "What did you say? Mei'er and Nanchen are divorced?!"
Wu Yi hurriedly patted his chest to calm him down.
"Grandpa, don't be angry! Big Sister has always been selfish. She doesn't know how to respect and take care of her elders."
"You see, she hasn't visited you since the divorce! Isn't that right?"
As Wu Yi spoke, Old Master Li became even more agitated. The alarm on the machine started to ring. Li Nanchen, who had just come from Director Xu's office, pushed open the door only to see Wu Yi, who was pretending to be flustered and innocent, inside the room.
He growled, "What are you doing here?!"
"I just want to take care of Grandpa for you." Wu Yi's eyes were red as she gnawed on her lips in grievance.
Li Nanchen pushed her straight out of the ward and said, "There's no need. Scram. Don't let me see you again." His warning was clear as a bell.
Wu Yi stomped her feet in frustration. She was indignant but could only leave for the time being and think of another way.
"You divorced Mei'er? Who allowed that?! Hurry up and get her back!" Old Master Li said weakly.
"Did you bully her?!"
Li Nanchen held his hand in a placating manner and said, "You just need to rest well. I'll take care of this matter."
Looking down at his phone, his gaze lingered on the undialed number. He did owe Wu Mei an apology for what had happened that day.
After Old Master Li was given two shots of tranquilizer and fell asleep, Li Nanchen grabbed his car keys and drove to the Wu Family's villa to see her.
Buzz buzz...
The phone in his pocket vibrated.
Li Nanchen parked the car by the roadside and picked up the call. The tone at the other end of the phone was solemn.
"President Li, please come to the border immediately. Something happened at the branch office."
"I understand."
Li Nanchen raised his head and looked at the Wu Family's villa that was a few hundred meters away. He then changed direction and rushed to the airport in the suburbs.

World Wonderer
Mari was happily whisking up some butterscotch slice when our story suddenly whisks her into another world. You'd think it'd be the beginning of another classic Isekai adventure, but it soon becomes clear that things won't be so easy...Her nerdy-teenage-genius summoner has trapped her in his room, no one speaks English, and Mari's gut is NOT prepared for a whole new world of bacteria. Can Mari overcome the travel diarrhea, learn a whole new language and escape before she develops Stockholm syndrome? Most of all, can she learn to flourish in a world so different, yet so similar to her own? ****** Author note: This story is written in response to all the unrealistic, plot-armour Isekais out there. I believe that adventures are more fun when there are unexpected surprises and challenges to be had. That said, this is my virgin voyage into writing an ongoing fiction, so please take care of me @[email protected] Constructive critisms, suggestions and typos in the comments would be most appreciated! Respectfully, Mhm
