Lu Zheng's matter, Huo Mei Shu received instructions from Huo Shaojie and kept it a secret.
"Mei Shu, what happened to your face?"
Rong Dai was observant. In the evening, Huo Mei Shu brought bird's nest, although her younger sister-in-law had covered her face with foundation to conceal the blemish.
But the palm print could still be seen upon closer inspection.
Huo Mei Shu subconsciously covered her face and quickly shook her head, "It's nothing, I bumped into something in the afternoon."
Rong Dai knew she was lying.
However, Rong Dai herself had a pile of things to deal with, and since her younger sister-in-law didn't want to talk about it, she didn't pursue it either.
After using the bird's nest and engaging in recovery exercises throughout the day, she felt much better.
"Sister-in-law, I have a question for you."
Huo Mei Shu sat on the sofa beside the hospital bed, asking her with some uneasiness.
"Go ahead."
Rong Dai paused her online course and looked at her inquiringly.
"Is it possible that you believe there will be someone you know, who will still have feelings for you after several decades of separation, and will come back from afar to continue your past love?"
Huo Mei Shu asked stutteringly.
Although she had been beaten, that person was still her biological mother.
Now her eldest and second brother were both busy, and if she didn't pay attention, what if it was really one of those scammers from the internet? How could she handle it?
It was one thing to be cheated out of money, but the most important thing was her foolish and fragile biological mother, who would suffer a great loss.
With her fragile will, how could she withstand such a blow?
Rong Dai was puzzled as to why her younger sister-in-law would ask such a question.
"Never mind, I just asked casually. I heard someone say that in our classmates' group."
"Sister-in-law, since you're so intelligent, I wanted to know what you think."
Huo Mei Shu quickly ended the topic, fearing that Rong Dai would press for more details.
But Rong Dai spoke up.
"It's hard to say. After several decades of not seeing each other, everyone changes."
"Even if it was someone you used to trust with all your heart, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be in contact for several decades unless there was a special reason."
"If it were in ancient times, it would be understandable, but with today's advanced technology, as long as you want to contact someone and make an effort, can't you still reach them?"
"If it's your classmate, I suggest being cautious. Whether they are human or ghost, it takes time to discern."
Upon hearing her words, Huo Mei Shu's face immediately turned pale.
"Well... then, Sister-in-law, how do you think I should handle it? What if the other party... for example, holds someone hostage and lives with them?"
Rong Dai frowned. Her younger sister-in-law asked such an unprofessional question.
And several decades... isn't that too long of a time span?
Her younger sister-in-law is only two years older than herself. Even if they were classmates who knew each other since birth, there wouldn't be several decades of separation, right?
"Mei Shu, tell me, did something happen?"
"You're not good at lying, and you can't hide your worries."
"Was this question you asked not something you saw in your classmates' group?"
Rong Dai pressed her for answers, worried that someone might take advantage of the chaos in the Huo family during this period.
Huo Mei Shu didn't expect to be exposed as soon as she spoke.
However, she didn't know how to approach the topic. How could a daughter like her speak about such matters?
"Meng Shu, since you've come to ask me, it means you think there's something wrong with this situation."
"If you don't speak up now and wait until it's truly irreparable, then it will be too late, you know?"
Seeing her like this, Rong Dai spoke with seriousness and sincerity as she analyzed the situation for her.
It was true that she had suffered the painful loss of her beloved son, and her mood was indeed filled with immense sorrow.
But that didn't mean her brain had stopped working. Meng Shu's strange question must have had a reason behind it.
