Mrs. Jiang felt a bit awkward for a moment; all the family's troubles were seen clearly by Wan Chu'er. After some thought, Mrs. Jiang tried to cover it up by saying:
"The old lady is confused and often talks in a mixed-up way. These things are usually kept by the old man, not sure how they ended up with the old lady."
Wan Chu'er nodded coolly. Whether Jiang Lirong had plans involving Grandpa Jiang, it had nothing to do with her. First, she didn't lack money. Second, she was already trying to steer clear of these Jiang family matters. How could she possibly get involved?
So, taking advantage of Grandma Jiang's lack of attention, Wan Chu'er slipped the envelope behind the sofa cushion and said, "You should hold onto this for now. Give it to Grandpa Jiang when he is discharged from the hospital."
Mrs. Jiang was very pleased with Wan Chu'er's tact, nodded, and smilingly said, "Why not stay here for dinner tonight? I'll call Ke Chu and tell him to come back early."
