Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048: 259: Grandpa Du is furious, do you no longer wish to live? (Eight updates)

Du Jiaojiao nodded her head, "It’s getting late, let’s go for dinner."

"Sure." After all, Ni Yang’s task was already fulfilled.

"This way." Du Jiaojiao linked her arm with Ni Yang’s.

Ni Yang pointed in another direction, "That way seems to be closer."

Du Jiaojiao said, "My younger brother is waiting for me over here."

"Is your big brother here too?"

"Mm." Du Jiaojiao said, "He originally didn’t want to come, but since he hasn’t left the house for several days and I find shopping by myself too boring, I dragged him along."

In reality, having the eldest Du around was the same as not having him around.

Because he hardly walked a few steps with Du Jiaojiao.

There was a rest area inside the Department Store.

With the New Year approaching, the area was filled with people.

Yet Wu Yanyun spotted Elder Du at a glance.

He was sitting amidst the crowd, with one hand holding Buddhist scripture, the other turning a page.

His pale palm was adorned with Buddha beads that, maybe due to being worn for a long time, were smooth to the point of shining like bright night pearls, dazzling under the light.

Wu Yanyun was momentarily startled, then turned to look at her reflection in the mirror.

Today she was wearing a white down jacket and small leather shoes, her hair was tidy, her face was clean, and after some time spent on self-care, the sickly and gaunt Wu Yanyun of the past was gone. Now, reflecting off the glass was a completely transformed Wu Yanyun.

She and Ni Yang were blood sisters, and she didn’t think she was much less attractive than Ni Yang at this point.

So now, Wu Yanyun had enough confidence to greet Elder Du.

Wu Yanyun turned slightly, preparing to walk over to Elder Du, but at that moment, she froze.

Because someone had beaten her to it.

It was Ni Yang.

Again, it was her!

Was she doing it on purpose?

A layer of anger surfaced in the depths of Wu Yanyun’s eyes.

Doesn’t Ni Yang already have a boyfriend? Why does she always crowd around Elder Du?

Does she really think of herself as some kind of fairy, that all the men in the world have to like her?

Wu Yanyun clenched her fists so hard her face turned white with rage.

Over here.

Du Jiaojiao, still arm in arm with Ni Yang, said: "I’m going to have dinner with the great beauty. Are you coming?"

Two girls going to eat together—if there was any private talk, having a man like him around was inappropriate anyway.

Elder Du raised his eyes slightly, "I’m not hungry, you two go ahead."

"Are you sure you’re not going?" Du Jiaojiao asked.

Elder Du shook his head, "No, I’m not going."

"Alright, then." Du Jiaojiao didn’t press further, "Well, the beauty and I are leaving."

"Go ahead." After saying this, Elder Du added, "By the way, where are you going to eat? I’ll have the driver come pick you up later."

Ni Yang said, "No need to trouble yourself, I’ll take Sister Jiaojiao back after we eat."

Elder Du didn’t stand on ceremony either.

Watching Ni Yang and Du Jiaojiao leave, color finally returned to Wu Yanyun’s face as she trotted over to Elder Du.

"Mr. Du."

Elder Du frowned slightly, "And you are?"

He had always had a poor memory for people who were irrelevant to him.

At his words, Wu Yanyun felt a moment of dejection; she had met Elder Du several times already, yet he still didn’t remember her.

Was she really that unremarkable?

"I, I’m Wu Yanyun," she said.

"Oh," having been reminded, Elder Du seemed to recall, "you’re Ni Yang’s younger sister."

Elder Du couldn’t remember Wu Yanyun’s face, but he did remember her name.

Because Ni Yang had mentioned it more than once in front of him.

Ni Yang’s younger sister?

Wu Yanyun lightly bit her lip as a surge of indignation rose within her. In Elder Du’s mind, was she merely the existence of Ni Yang’s younger sister?

No!

She wasn’t Ni Yang’s younger sister! Nor was she an accessory to anyone else—she was herself! She was Wu Yanyun!

This time, she was determined to make Elder Du remember her clearly!

Because Du Grandpa’s hand suddenly gripped Wu Yanyun’s jaw, tightening progressively while his slender knuckles turned white.

The force was so great that pain twisted Wu Yanyun’s facial features.

"You, do you want to die?"

Although he was a follower of Buddhism, at this moment, he was enshrouded in a sinister aura, instilling a deep fear from the bones.

Too terrifying.

Having known Du Grandpa for so long, Wu Yanyun had never realized he had this side to him.

Just when Wu Yanyun felt she was about to die, Du Grandpa gradually released his grip.

Wu Yanyun watched Du Grandpa’s fading back in a daze, gasping for air.

After a long while, Wu Yanyun got up from the ground and walked home.

Once home, Wu Yanyun hid in her room under the blanket and sobbed her heart out.

It wasn’t until dinner time that Wu Yanyun came out of her room.

Yan Erju was startled to see Wu Yanyun’s spiritless appearance, "Xiaoyun, what’s wrong with you? You’re so pale! Are you feeling unwell?"

Wu Yanyun shook her head, "Mom, I’m fine, just have a bit of a headache, maybe I caught a cold while wandering the mall this afternoon."

Yan Erju followed up, "Let’s go to the hospital and have a look."

"No need, I’ll be fine after eating and getting some sleep."

Yan Erju frowned, "If you’re not feeling well, you must tell us."

"Okay," Wu Yanyun nodded.

After Wu Jinshu returned home, Yan Erju told him about Wu Yanyun feeling unwell.

Wu Jinshu worriedly suggested, "Shall we go check on Yanyun now? A headache is no joke!"

"Okay."

The couple approached Wu Yanyun’s bedroom door and knocked for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

Fearing that Wu Yanyun might be in trouble, they found a key and opened the door.

They saw Wu Yanyun lying on the bed, her face abnormally red, lips covered with layers of white film.

Yan Erju touched Wu Yanyun’s head and exclaimed, "My God! She’s burning up! Yanyun is running a fever!"

Wu Jinshu said, "I’ll go and get the bicycle ready, you help Yanyun put on a coat, and let’s rush her to the hospital."

"Alright."

As the Wu Family’s house was ideally located close to the hospital, the couple pushed the bike and in about twenty minutes, they had taken Wu Yanyun to the Hospital.
