Huo Yue Lan’s heart was instantly captivated by the Fire Tree and Ice Tree, so much so that she temporarily forgot all about Lu Yunzhou.
"I’m glad you like them. Shall we go see them now?"
Yun Zijin tried to coax Huo Yue Lan gently.
Sure enough, Huo Yue Lan’s eyes lit up when she heard she could see the Ice Tree and Fire Tree right away.
But Lu Yunzhou was her son, after all, so Huo Yue Lan hesitated.
"Mom, you don’t need to stay here and watch over me. If you want to go, just go."
"I’m here too, Mom. You can take a break and let me take over."
Lu Yunque spoke up, making his presence known to Huo Yue Lan.
Seeing Lu Yunque, Huo Yue Lan’s eyes lit up. ’How could I forget I have another son I can press into service?’
"I suppose that’s fine. Since you’re staying, watch your brother. Don’t let him move around too much or eat anything he’s not supposed to."
Lu Yunzhou was currently recuperating, so there were many things he couldn’t eat, and his daily exercise was strictly limited.
But with his military background, Lu Yunzhou felt restless if he didn’t get some exercise in every day. And every time Huo Yue Lan caught him, he would get an earful.
But Lu Yunzhou was just stubborn. He never learned his lesson and seemed to enjoy it.
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on him."
Lu Yunque promised confidently. ’It’s just staying by his bedside,’ he thought. ’How hard can it be?’
With Lu Yunque’s assurance, Huo Yue Lan’s worries vanished. She grabbed Yun Zijin and headed out of Lu Yunzhou’s hospital room.
"Let’s go, let’s go! We’re going to your house now."
All Huo Yue Lan could think about now were the Fire Tree and Ice Tree. She wanted to get back to Xingyu Mansion as quickly as possible.
Yun Zijin said a quick goodbye to Lu Yunzhou and Lu Yunque, then followed Huo Yue Lan out of the room. By the time they reached the entrance of the sanatorium’s inpatient department, Zero One and his team were already waiting with the car ready.
Huo Yue Lan didn’t even bother calling the Lu Family’s driver; she just got straight into the car with Yun Zijin.
By the time the Lu Family’s driver realized the chairman’s wife was gone, Huo Yue Lan was already in Yun Zijin’s car, having left the sanatorium and on her way to Xingyu Mansion.
About an hour later, a silver luxury van slowly drove into Xingyu Mansion.
"Moonlight Grass!"
Upon entering the grounds of Villa 1, Huo Yue Lan’s sharp eyes immediately spotted the landscaping strip of Moonlight Grass along the main driveway.
After all, Huo Yue Lan was a member of the Lu Family by marriage and came from the Huo family, so she had access to information that ordinary people didn’t.
She had heard talk about things like the Moonlight Grass, and had even pulled some strings to get a plant for herself.
Huo Yue Lan looked at Yun Zijin. "Why is there so much Moonlight Grass here?"
She had to move heaven and earth just to get a single plant before.
’And now you’re telling me someone is using Moonlight Grass for their landscaping strips?’
Huo Yue Lan found it hard to believe.
"Oh! I had that redone. This way, at night, even if there are no streetlights, you don’t have to worry about not seeing the path."
’Of course, there are still streetlights,’ she thought. ’It’s just a precaution, in case the lights ever break or there’s a sudden power outage.’
’That’s when the Moonlight Grass would come in handy.’
’Besides, the Moonlight Grass plants are quite pretty, so they work perfectly for landscaping.’
However, since Yun Zijin only owned Villa 1 in Xingyu Mansion, she only had the landscaping changed to Moonlight Grass within her property’s boundaries.
In other parts of the Xingyu Mansion residential area, the landscaping strips were still the original shrubs.
"So... the Moonlight Grass at the Hua Country Science Academy Plant Research Institute, that was from you too?"
Huo Yue Lan couldn’t think of any other explanation.
Yun Zijin nodded. It was something anyone could find out with a little digging, so there was no point in lying.
