Hearing this, you could tell the old man was still sulking.

To his utter surprise, Su Mu's next words made him so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood: "Whether you want it or not, you'll always be my grandfather in biology, and that can't be erased."

Tsk~

The disdain in her words was impossible to ignore.

Fortunately, the doctor came to check on the patient at that moment, which eased the atmosphere and called Su Mu away, giving the old man time to calm down.

Inside the doctor's office, Su Mu sat down, exuding an aura of dominance that commanded respect and made everyone bow down in submission, daring not to act rashly.

"Tell me, what exactly is my grandfather's condition and why is he coughing up blood?" Su Mu asked, and the temperature in the entire office dropped by more than five degrees the moment his thin lips parted.

"Young Master Su, to be honest, Old Master Su's health has never been very good. Recently, overwork, excessive worry, and... a bad mood have all contributed to the deterioration of his condition. This is the result of Old Master Su's recent examination. You can take a look. Old Master Su doesn't have much time left."

As the doctor spoke, he handed a form to Su Mu.

Su Mu took the order and looked at it carefully. According to the results on the order, it was indeed the case.

"How much time does he have left?" Su Mu asked again, putting away the form.

"At most one month."

The doctor gave a precise timeframe, but didn't say anything else.

Su Mu didn't ask any more questions and left the office directly, heading back towards the old man's ward, where he bumped into Bai Yingying at the door.

This was no coincidence; it was obvious that Bai Yingying had deliberately waited for him here.

Hearing footsteps, Bai Yingying immediately looked up and took two steps toward Su Mu: "Brother Su Mu, I knew you wouldn't leave. Can you give me some time? I have something I want to tell you. It's... it's about Grandpa Su's condition."

At this moment, Bai Yingying was on edge, speaking cautiously with her hands clasped together, revealing her inner tension as if she were afraid that Su Mu would disagree.

"good."

Su Mu nodded, unusually granting her request.

At the corner of the corridor, Bai Yingying took a deep breath and began her performance: "Brother Su Mu, I know you just came from the doctor's office, and you also know about Grandpa's condition, he..."

Bai Yingying suddenly choked up, and after a moment, she continued, "He doesn't have much time left. Although you two had many conflicts in the past, now that he's about to die, all grudges should be put aside. I know you might not listen to what I'm saying now, and I used to be like that too. But after my mother passed away, I regretted being so rebellious and not listening to her..."

This time, Bai Yingying appealed to Su Mu's emotions and reason, beautifying the story of her mother's death and telling Su Mu, implying that he must fulfill the old man's last wish and not let him leave with regrets.

When did your mother pass away?

Su Mu suddenly looked up at Bai Yingying, his serious expression making Bai Yingying feel flattered.

For a moment, I forgot to breathe, and I forgot to respond.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and didn't lose her composure in front of Su Mu.

"Oh, it was...it was an accident, just recently. My dad was also deeply affected by this, so we kept the funeral simple and didn't tell you." Bai Yingying tried her best to show Su Mu the change in her, putting on a good show.

But they forgot that Su Mu was a movie star.

Given how poorly she performed, Su Mu's decision not to expose her was already the greatest mercy he could show her.

"Please accept my condolences. Do you know what my grandfather's last wish was?" Su Mu said, uttering the very words Bai Yingying had predicted.

“I…” Bai Yingying blushed and her face turned bright red. “Grandpa Su’s wish is probably known to everyone except you. He wants you to return to the Su family, take over his business, and retire from the entertainment industry to get married and have children.”

Most importantly, I want to marry her.

However, Bai Yingying could not say it openly at this time.

“I can marry you anytime, but the wedding must be low-key. I still have a lot of announcements to deal with, which will take some time. Once I finish these announcements, I will return to the Su family and take charge of the Su Group.”

Su Mu didn't waste any words, clearly stating his attitude before turning around and leaving, not even wanting to hear Bai Yingying's response.

Watching Su Mu's departing figure, Bai Yingying was first stunned, then reacted, her lips curled up, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but turn up as well, her heart filled with smugness.

Hahaha!

That's wonderful!

She has worked so hard for so long, and her long-cherished wish is finally about to come true.

Mo Jingjing, you should have died long ago!

Don't worry, as long as you bless me and Su Mu from the afterlife, and that we have children, I promise that every year on the anniversary of your death, I will have you send lots and lots of paper money to us.

Su Mu's performance today was completely beyond Bai Yingying's expectations. After Su Mu left, it took her a while to compose herself before going to Grandpa Su's ward.

In the underground parking lot, Su Mu sat in the back seat of the luxury car and instructed the driver to start driving while he immediately watched a video on his phone and put on headphones.

At this very moment, Su Mu was watching the surveillance video from Grandpa Su's hospital room.

Because of the location of the surveillance camera, the view is relatively limited, but this device is the best on the market, allowing the sound in the video to be clearly transmitted to the listener's ears.

As the door opened, Grandpa Su, who had been lying in the hospital bed, turned his head and saw that it was only Bai Yingying who came in. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat up in bed without any help. All the sickly look on his face disappeared.

"Grandpa Su, Brother Su Mu has passed away. The doctor has done as we instructed. Before he left, Brother Su Mu asked me to tell you that he is willing to marry me and return to the Su Group. The wedding can be held at any time, but it must be low-key. He still has some engagements to take care of. After he finishes these, he will completely retire from the entertainment industry."

Bai Yingying walked to the old man's bedside and looked at him, speaking directly to him.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Su was both surprised and delighted, his face filled with disbelief: "Hahaha, Yingying, what you just said was all true, and you weren't just lying to make Grandpa happy, were you?"

"Grandpa, how could Yingying dare to lie to you? Everything I said is absolutely true, not a single word is false!" Bai Yingying immediately assured him.

"Hahaha, I knew my judgment was right. You are the granddaughter-in-law I personally chose. You will definitely enter our Su family. Don't worry, this wedding will be a bit of a hassle for you, but Grandpa promises you that I will make it up to you properly in the future!"
