Li Xiangwei stood there motionless, listening to the conversation between the two of them.
Actually, Grandpa Shao had talked to her before he asked Wen Yin to come.
Grandpa Shao confessed to her that his anorexia had reached a stage where it was incurable.
The only two times he had a big appetite were when he ate the meals cooked by Wen Yin.
Even if Li Xiangwei was slow - witted, she could tell what Grandpa Shao meant. He wanted to use her as a medium to ask Wen Yin for help.
But she couldn't make decisions for Wen Yin.
So Li Xiangwei had to tactfully tell him about Wen Yin's situation first. Wen Yin was busy running a designer studio and a dessert shop.
After a brief discussion between the two of them, they decided to talk to Wen Yin in person.
But Li Xiangwei didn't expect Wen Yin to agree so readily.
Even Li Xiangwei, slow as she was, could sense that Wen Yin was in an unusual mood.
Wen Yin had never talked to her about her past.
Li Xiangwei only knew that Wen Yin was the real daughter of the Wen family. She didn't know about Wen Yin's grandma, nor did she know that the matter of her grandma had become a regret and an obsession in Wen Yin's heart.
Seeing Wen Yin's determined look, Grandpa Shao couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Girl, your words make it seem like I'm being scheming with you."
Hearing Grandpa Shao say this, Wen Yin tilted her head in confusion and looked at him, utterly bewildered.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
After hearing Wen Yin's question, Grandpa Shao couldn't help but laugh self - deprecatingly.
"Actually, when I called you here, I had this idea in mind. I just didn't know how to bring it up to you."
"I didn't expect you to mention it first."
There was a helpless smile on Grandpa Shao's face. Hearing this, Wen Yin couldn't help but comfort him.
"Grandpa, you don't have to put yourself down like this."
"When I see you, I feel as close as if I'm seeing my late grandma. So it can be regarded as making up for the regret I had when my grandma passed away."
There was a faint smile on Wen Yin's lips.
After all these years, maybe it was time for her to face that regret.
Grandpa Shao didn't expect that his casual words would touch Wen Yin's wound.
"I'm sorry, girl. I didn't know your grandma had..."
Before he could finish his apology, Wen Yin stopped him just in time and redirected the topic.
Wen Yin looked at him seriously, her eyes firm.
"Can I also talk to your attending doctor? I need to roughly understand your physical condition so that I can customize a diet plan for you."
"As for breakfast... I'll try my best to find time to come."
Before Wen Yin could finish her words, she saw Grandpa Shao waving his hand at her.
Grandpa Shao frowned involuntarily.
"It doesn't matter. In the morning, I'll just drink some porridge simply. I can't eat anything else."
"I know you're very busy with your dessert shop and studio. You don't have to do this for me."
Grandpa Shao watched as Wen Yin nodded reluctantly, and then slowly said,
"I'll ask someone to communicate with you about the subsequent fees. An old codger like me can't just take up your time for free."
After hearing this, Wen Yin frowned in disapproval.
"I'm just passing by and giving you a little help. Why does it turn into a money - related deal?"
"Don't tell me Grandpa is being formal with me?"
Although Wen Yin said so, she couldn't resist Grandpa Shao's kind insistence.
So Grandpa Shao decided to pay Wen Yin according to the standard he paid Chef Li every month.
After communicating with Grandpa Shao's attending doctor, Wen Yin returned to Li Xiangwei's office with the notes she had taken.
This involved Grandpa Shao's privacy, so Li Xiangwei didn't participate.
Seeing Wen Yin sitting seriously on the sofa, looking at the paper, Li Xiangwei couldn't help but speak up.
"I thought you were so busy that you wouldn't agree to his proposal."
When Li Xiangwei heard Wen Yin mention her late grandma just now, she had a vague guess.
I'm afraid the death of her grandma had left a big or small wound in Wen Yin's heart. That's why she was looking for another hope in Grandpa Shao.
"Is your grandma's situation similar to his?"
Li Xiangwei was afraid of touching her wound, so she asked cautiously.
Wen Yin could hear the caution in Li Xiangwei's words and smiled relievedly.
"My grandma's situation is a bit different from Grandpa's, but their ideas are the same.
"Before my grandma passed away, she was afraid of causing me trouble, so she voluntarily gave up treatment.
"She said things like people's fates are predestined, and missed the best treatment time. Then she passed away early."
Wen Yin said these words calmly, as if she were an onlooker. But the grief in her eyes was clearly seen by Li Xiangwei.
"So the moment I heard Grandpa say those words, I wanted to help him.
"Since only the food I cook can make him have an appetite, why don't I spare some time to cook for him?"
After Wen Yin told this trivial matter, she couldn't help but sigh.
"I know. I guess Grandpa must have proposed this to you when you went in just now, right?"
Wen Yin had already guessed most of it.
After hearing what she said, Li Xiangwei couldn't help but nod.
After all, she had been at the hotel all the time.
She had seen with her own eyes how Grandpa Shao, who was originally actively receiving treatment, had become so passive.
She couldn't bear to see Grandpa Shao being so negative day after day.
But thinking of his identity, Li Xiangwei hesitated and then said,
"You seem to like Grandpa very much."
Wen Yin nodded while looking through the paper she had recorded on.
"Yes. Although we've only met twice, I think we get along very well."
After hearing this answer, Li Xiangwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She gently patted her chest.
That's good. That's good. I hope A Yin won't blame me when she finds out the final truth.
While Wen Yin was talking to the attending doctor, Grandpa Shao secretly called Li Xiangwei out.
Grandpa Shao hoped that she could keep his identity a secret from Wen Yin.
Moreover, Grandpa Shao also said straightforwardly,
"Miss Li, this Miss Wen is Shao Yinan's girlfriend, right?"
Li Xiangwei wasn't surprised that he knew this.
When Grandpa Shao was young, he was at the top of the business world. He must have been very meticulous in his work.
It was not surprising that he could find out Wen Yin's identity.
Moreover, even if he didn't investigate, people around him would know from the hot searches in the entertainment circle that Shao Yinan and Wen Yin were together.
After seeing her nod, Grandpa Shao couldn't help but say,
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you to keep my identity a secret.
"If that girl doesn't ask, don't mention it."
Although Li Xiangwei didn't understand the purpose of this, since the employer had said so, she had to obey.
Looking at Wen Yin's serious profile, Li Xiangwei had a feeling welling up in her heart.
Anyway, Grandpa Shao and Wen Yin got along very well. This wasn't a bad thing.
