Hua Rong came home early today. Ever since his daughter was in the hospital, his wife was feeling down. That's why he wanted to accompany his wife. He wasn't a wife lover husband before, but it changed when Li Shen came to propose his daughter Hua Mei. His wife bore him their only child Hua Mei. Hua Mei wasn't only a successful actress but also a good wife of Li Family. His daughter also gave birth to the heir of Li Family. Not only that, his business was now thriving thanks to Li Shen. He firmly believed that it was all because of his wife who raised such a wonderful child, like Hua Mei. For that reason, he was more drawn to his wife.
However, he didn't think that he would see such a scene once he came to the house. His wife Zhuang Lei was on the floor, crying for help, the maid behind her was dumbfounded, in front of them, there was a woman standing and she was none other than Hua Lan who was supposed to be dead. He didn't know whom to call out first.
It took him five seconds to recover his senses. Then he called out, "Xiao Lan, is that really you?" Technically, he just showed that his wife wasn't the most important thing in his world.
Mu Lan already knew that he was there but she pretended to notice him now. "Uncle, I'm so glad to see you again." She burst into tears and walked past Zhuang Lei and went to hug Hua Rong.
Hua Rong stiffened. He was also thinking that the person who just embraced him was a ghost. But sensing the warmth coming from her body, he realized that she wasn't a ghost but a real person. Still, he couldn't help but tremble.
How many times did she go missing and then came back? It was almost Lord Buddha wanted her to live till she grew old.
It didn't mean that he wanted her to die. He personally liked this child. She was always very amicable and sincere. Though he didn't spend time with his family in the past, he did treat her like his own daughter. To him, both Hua Lei and Hua Lan were his flesh and blood. He still thought the same.
Hua Rong rubbed her head. "X-Xiao Lan, it's really you!" His face beamed with happiness and astonishment. He touched her face to see if it's really her or it was his imagination.
Mu Lan smiled happily. "Of course, it's me."
He immediately asked, "B-but how? Xiao Mei and Li Shen said that you died right before their eyes. You were shot and bleed to death…" He nearly choked as he tried to control his emotions.
Mu Lan stepped back from him and scratched her head like a foolish person. "That's indeed the case but I was treated by a very kind person and it took me nearly ten months to regain consciousness."
"Oh my!" Hua Rong exclaimed. "Then why didn't you come back as soon as you wake up?"
Mu Lan replied, "I couldn't because I had no memory."
"You suffered greatly, Xiao Lan." He stroked her head once again as he grieved for her sufferings.
"It's nothing. Everyone took great care of me." Mu Lan said.
"Who saved you? I should go to that person and thank him for taking care of you all this time. Maybe I should tell Li Shen about it too." Hua Rong showed great interest to the savior of Mu Lan.
She smiled. "Alright, I will tell my savior that you want to talk. However, I want to spend some time with you. I missed you so much."
Hua Rong agreed easily. "Anything you wish, Xiao Lan. I will tell the cook to prepare your favorite dishes today."
Mu Lan buttered him up, "I know you are the best uncle."
At that time, Zhuang Lei protested, "Honey, what are you saying? This is a ghost…" She was still on the floor and the maid was trying to help her to stand up.
Hua Rong frowned and scolded his wife, "Are you out of your mind? How can a ghost come in the daytime? This is really Xiao Lan! Don't just sit there and greet her. What kind of aunt call her own niece a ghost?"
Mu Lan showed a pitiful expression. "Auntie, did you really think that I'm a ghost? Or is it you wanted me to die that badly? I thought that I would give you a pleasant surprise. I never imagined that you would call me a ghost. As she spoke, her eyes became teary. She used back of her right index finger to wipe her tears.
Hua Rong felt bad for her. He scolded his wife more. "Look, it's been so long that she came to her home. Don't hurt her like that. Get up now! Why are you still sitting on the floor?"
Zhuang Lei was upset for her daughter. But then she fell on the floor and hurt her back. She couldn't stand up. Afterwards, her husband was being rude to her. She felt very wronged. She snapped out and said, "Can't you see I can't stand up?"
Hua Rong and Mu Lan came forward. Mu Lan said, "Oh my, auntie, did you hurt your back? That's why always said that you should take care of yourself more. You need to watch your every step from now on." She smiled meaningfully and reached out her hand. "Now grab my hand and stand up."
For some reason, Zhuang Lei looked at her eyes and shuddered. She felt like Mu Lan's words "You need to watch your every step from now on" wasn't a simple carrying words and a threat. However, she didn't have the time to think what she meant by it because Mu Lan forcefully pulled her up and that hurt her backbone.
"Awk!" Zhuang Lei made an unusual sound.
"Ah! What happened auntie?" Mu Lan asked worriedly as she caught Zhuang Lei from falling on the floor again.
