Chapter 116 A Hard-Won Reunion

"Just asking casually. In my impression, Mr. Zhao is always very shrewd and always chooses the right moment to bring Mrs. Li over to support him. Such a scheming person should be wary of business partners." Su Youling didn't say anything more and pretended to go with Zhao Fu to the mall next to the hospital to pick out the latest mobile phone.

She pretended to be anxious and said, "I'll find someone to help me recover the contact information on my phone and find Manager Liu as soon as possible. Maybe he knows where the business partner is."

Zhao Fu nodded, seemingly agreeing. "Then you should find a technician to help you first. I'll go back to the hospital now. I'll send you the reservations for the restaurant later."

Su Youling waved her hand dismissively and said, "Mr. Zhao, in B City I am Su Youling. I won't participate in your family banquet. Business is more important."

After saying that, he seemed to be in a hurry and quickly left with both the new and old phones.

Zhao Fu's expression changed, and he found a secluded spot to make a phone call to the bodyguard guarding Manager Liu.

But damn it, I can't get through no matter what I try.

Did Manager Liu really run away?

Otherwise, where would he have gotten his phone to contact Su Youling?

Zhao Fu was worried about outsiders interfering in this matter, so after thinking it over again and again, he hurriedly drove back.

Little did he know, Qin He was secretly watching his movements and carefully following him in his car...

Su Youling finally appeared from around the corner after a while, and was on the phone with Qin He. "Assistant Qin, please keep the evidence safe later."

"Should we call the police?" Assistant Qin asked.

"Don't call the police yet, Zhao Fu is still useful." Su Youling hung up the phone, her tightly furrowed brows still furrowed, when suddenly the caregiver's screams came from not far away: "Help!"

Su Youling turned around and saw an old man in a wheelchair leaning against the back of the chair, seemingly out of control, while the wheelchair slipped from her grasp and slid rapidly down the slope.

Ahead lay a winding stream of cars and pedestrians. Putting aside the possibility of hitting a person or a car, the old man's physical condition was unlikely to withstand such a heavy blow.

Su Youling was standing at the intersection when, without thinking, she rushed towards the direction the wheelchair had slid down and managed to grab it just before it plunged into the road.

She grabbed the old man's shoulder with one hand, and her body was pulled forward by the inertia. She almost fell off the wheelchair, and her arm was cut open, with blood gushing out.

The old man didn't faint, but was just shocked. He stared blankly at Su Youling, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and suddenly grabbed her hand. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter any clear sounds. It was probably because the intense shock had caused his speech center to become disordered.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.

Su Youling thought it was a caregiver rushing over, and said breathlessly, "Come and lend a hand!"

A warm sensation spread across her back as the man reached out and placed his hands on the wheelchair, stabilizing the swaying Su Youling and the old man. He asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

His posture made it seem as if he was completely holding Su Youling in his arms, a combination of dominance and ambiguity.

"It's you!" Su Youling quickly broke free, looking at Shi Yan who had suddenly appeared in surprise. "How did you get here?"

Just then, the caregiver finally ran over, panting. "Mr. Shi, I'm so sorry! The old man was enjoying the sun when he suddenly accidentally pressed the electronic control button on his wheelchair, and it went out of control... Luckily, this young lady was there to help, otherwise..."

She never dared to imagine it, she was so grateful.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Tears streaming down his face, he apologized to Su Youling and hurriedly pushed the old man back for a checkup.

The old man seemed to come to his senses and clung tightly to Su Youling, like a stubborn and childish child who wouldn't take a step without her by his side.

Shi Yan's reaction was unexpected. "Lingling, after my grandfather got sick, he didn't like being touched by others. Even our own family members, he often didn't recognize them, and he would get hit if anyone touched him. He seems to like you a lot..."

He looked pleading. "Could you accompany my grandfather to the examination room? Besides, your arm was injured while saving my grandfather, so I have to take responsibility!"

Su Youling originally didn't want to have anything to do with Shi Yan, but the old man stared at her with his cloudy eyes and wouldn't let go, which reminded her of her master.

Although he always seemed impatient and had a world-weary face, in that small village where everyone hated her and her mother, he showed her the greatest kindness and tolerance, and imparted all his knowledge to her without reservation.

"Alright." Su Youling sighed and pushed the old man's wheelchair into the hospital, occasionally saying a few words to coax him. Finally, he calmed down and stopped arguing with the medical staff and refusing to be examined.

Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately found someone to help treat Su Youling's wounds.

His ideal wife is someone like Su Youling: generous, sensible, gentle, considerate, capable of managing the household and steering the ship, equally adept in social situations and the kitchen.

The perfect wife candidate.

He once possessed it, but lost it briefly because of his own impulsiveness and folly.

Although such a treasure had been briefly possessed by someone else, he was willing to open his heart to Su Youling again and continue their love story.

"Let me help you apply the medicine." Shi Yan originally wanted to do it himself, but Su Youling cleverly dodged away. "Young Master Shi, there's no need for you to do it. You'd better stay away from me."

Shi Yan moved his lips, but ultimately didn't dare to continue, worried that he would anger Su Youling and ruin their hard-won reunion today.

After the medical staff finished treating the wound, only the two of them remained on the chair. He said apologetically in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Lingling. I was thinking of exposing your relationship with Li Tingxi before. I originally wanted to force him to give you your freedom, but I didn't think it might hurt you."

Su Youling was actually unaware of these matters. Li Tingxi had only briefly mentioned the delay, and the necessary issues had already been secretly resolved.

"Young Master Shi, my relationship with Li Tingxi is a family matter, and it's none of your business."

“But you clearly didn’t do it willingly, otherwise why didn’t you go back to City A with Li Tingxi?” Shi Yan lowered his voice. “You’re using your real name now, but the world knows Mrs. Li as Shen Xiyue. What’s the difference between what you’re doing and having an affair?”

Su Youling pursed her lips unhappily.

Just then, the phone rang.

Although she hadn't saved the number in her new phone, she recognized it—it was Li Tingxi calling.

Su Youling looked at her bandaged arm and glanced indifferently at Shi Yan. "Shi Yan, don't make me feel disgusted even when I think of you in the future."

Shi Yan froze on the spot, his face deathly pale.

impossible!

How could Lingling really hate him?

She must be angry because of the misunderstanding back then!

Su Youling walked to the end of the corridor outside the clinic before answering the phone.

Unsurprisingly, Li Tingxi's voice was very unhappy: "Where did you go? I've been calling for so long and no one has answered!"
