Chapter 241 Beware

Jiang Ning first checked Old Master Shen's pulse. He was weak and his pulse was feeble, almost to the point of exhaustion.

In addition, he was so anxious and stressed about Shen Pianran's situation that he was exhausted and worried. If he had waited any longer, she would not have been saved.

After taking the old man's pulse, Jiang Ning unfolded a row of silver needles, took out a thin silver needle, and inserted it into the acupoint on the old man's head.

The acupoints on the head are numerous and complicated, and treating them requires considerable effort.

Fortunately, after completing the treatment process, Mr. Shen woke up.

When Grandpa Shen saw Jiang Ning finishing her acupuncture, Shen Bingwei was still scolding his daughter, while his eldest son's family was gathered around the bed.

Seeing that Jiang Ning had removed the needles from the old man's head, Shen's father reached out and helped him sit up against the bedside.

Grandpa Shen glanced at the silent Shen father, then saw Jiang Ning, who was receiving her injections, while Shen Mo and Shen's mother held two adorable babies beside them.

He then looked at Shen Pianran kneeling not far away. His sweet-talking second son was still cursing his daughter, completely unaware that he had already woken up.

Old Master Shen had just woken up when he was annoyed by Shen Bingwei's angry shouts.

"Alright, stop arguing," Old Master Shen shouted sternly.

Shen Pianran lowered her head and let Shen Bingwei scold her. When she heard the old man's voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the old man with bright eyes.

Shen Pianran's eyes filled with tears, and she sobbed, "Grandpa, you're awake."

Grandpa Shen looked at Shen Pianran with disappointment; this time, she had made a huge mess.

He went to great lengths to protect Shen Pianran.

Grandpa Shen closed his eyes briefly. "Pianran, you've made such a grave mistake. I can only protect you once, not a second time. You'd better take care of yourself."

Little did he know that his sweet-talking and obedient granddaughter had almost caused someone's death.

Although it wasn't something she did intentionally, but rather an oversight, it still proves her incompetence.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Shen Pianran's face immediately turned pale.

Does Grandpa mean he won't take care of her anymore?

Shen Pianran glanced coldly at the bed.

If we don't care, then we don't care!

Anyway, her future is ruined. Yesterday in Dean Lin's office, the two doctors from the General Military Hospital told her that she was not allowed to work as a doctor again.

They even want to send her to jail.

She only made a small mistake, why should she be left with no way out?

Now even her grandfather doesn't care about her anymore, what can she do in the future?

Shen Pianran, seething with anger, ran out of the room.

After she left, the farce was over. Seeing that the old man's face was still pale and weak, Mr. Shen asked Jiang Ning, "Xiao Ning, will the old man need any further treatment? Or what kind of medicine should he take?"

"He still needs treatment, but the medicine has severely damaged the old man's body, and he also has a weak pulse..."

Jiang Ning paused for a moment at this point.

Seeing that Jiang Ning actually had something else to say but had stopped there, Old Master Shen said, "Say what else you have to say. There's nothing this old man can't listen to."

Jiang Ning said, "I will do my best to treat you. If you can take the medicine as prescribed, I can guarantee that you will have two more years."

Jiang Ning had treated the old man before. Although he had some old injuries, his physical condition was not bad.

After this ordeal, his lifespan was severely damaged, and he would have to rely on herbal medicine to get through the next two years.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the people in the room displayed a variety of emotions.

Mr. Shen closed his eyes. Although he resented the old man's favoritism, they were, after all, blood relatives.

Despite feeling distressed, Shen's father didn't say much.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words from a distance, Shen Bingwei immediately rushed to the old man's bedside.

"Dad, I will take good care of you from now on."

Hearing Shen Bingwei's words, Old Master Shen felt somewhat comforted.

Old Master Shen couldn't help but glance at his eldest son again.

The eldest son has a bad temper. Although he doesn't expect him to say anything nice, he should at least say something to show some appreciation for what he's done.

The old man's eyes were practically glued to Shen's father, but he didn't get a single word from him.

Mr. Shen noticed the old man staring at him and was somewhat puzzled.

He thought the old man was thirsty after waking up, so he immediately went to the table next to him and poured a glass of water.

Mr. Shen handed the water to the old man, saying, "Dad, have some water, your lips are all chapped."

"..." Old Master Shen was indeed thirsty, which Shen Bingwei, who was closest to him, did not notice, but his eldest son did.

His eldest son is bold and meticulous, but he just won't back down.

Grandpa Shen took the water that Mr. Shen handed him.

After saying this, Mr. Shen did not say anything more.

The old man sighed inwardly. How did this once harmonious family come to have nothing left to say to each other?

The old man still needs three more courses of treatment, so Jiang Ning will have to stay in the veterans' compound temporarily.

Jiang Ning is going to stay here, so Shen's parents will naturally have to move back temporarily to take care of the two babies.

Shen Mo usually has to train in the army, so he can only come over in the evenings after training.

That evening, Shen Mo reminded Jiang Ning to be wary of Shen Pianran.

Jiang Ning was taken aback when she heard Shen Mo's instructions. "You noticed it too?"

Shen Mo nodded.

Jiang Ning knew that Shen Pianran had always had a problem with her, but they didn't see each other often and always kept to themselves.

Shen Pianran's hateful expression clearly showed that she was stuck in a rut.

Experiencing repeated setbacks with Jiang Ning can easily lead to psychological distortion.

Last time, when Shen Pianran tried to push Jiang Ning into the water, Jiang Ning saw through her twisted heart.

But after Shen Pianran ran away from the Shen family that day, she never returned.

After this incident, Grandpa Shen has completely lost faith in his granddaughter.

As for Shen Bingwei, he used to love his daughter more because she was more useful than his son. But now, his daughter has caused such a huge mess that he has lost all face.

It almost cost him money to resolve the matter.

When the old man was trying to resolve this matter, he wanted the old man to contribute money, but the old man refused, saying he had just invested all his money in his business.

In the end, the old man used his savings to solve the problem.

It was only after this incident that Shen Bingwei realized the old man had indeed saved a considerable amount over the years, but had been keeping it hidden.

He had made up his mind to make a good impression on the old man, so that when the old man passed away in two years, everything he left behind would be his.

If Old Master Shen knew that Shen Bingwei was cursing him in his heart right now, he would be furious.

Jiang Ning has temporarily settled in the veterans' compound, and Shen Mo went home to pack up some of the children's belongings and brought them here.

Zhiqi was the most unhappy; he longed to see his younger siblings every day.

But he has to go back to school for the start of the semester.

Shen Pianran returned to the Shen family ten days later, having stayed at Chen Man's house during that time.

Originally, she was just unwilling to accept it, but in these ten days, she suddenly became determined about one thing.

Once Jiang Ning is dead, she won't have to live in Jiang Ning's shadow anymore!

If Jiang Ning hadn't indirectly intervened, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble this time.

The problem with the medicine could even continue to be concealed.

When Shen Pianran returned to the Shen family, she was no longer as extreme and gloomy as before; instead, she was in a very relaxed state.

As soon as she got home, she knelt down in front of the old man and apologized to him properly.

Old Master Shen is soft-hearted, and besides, the matter has already been resolved. Holding onto it will only make the family more unhappy.

Jiang Ning noticed that Shen Pianran had been acting strangely lately, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

After discussing it with Shen Mo, Jiang Ning began to be wary of Shen Pianran, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, after returning to the Shen family, Shen Pianran did not take any action.
