Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
When Su Yan followed Su Yu to the ward, there were many people in the ward.
The same group that arrived yesterday came.
The moment Su Yan walked in, all eyes fell on her.
Grandpa Jiang sat on the edge of the bed, while Elder Jue was feeling Jiang Jingxing's bones.
Grandpa Jiang beckoned to her, "Ayan, come to Grandpa's."
Su Yan called out "Master" before walking over, "Grandpa Jiang."
Grandpa Jiang held her hand and murmured, "Good child, I didn't expect you to come so soon. Thank you, Grandpa."
Su Yan asked, puzzled, "Why are you thanking me? If my brother hadn't kept it from me, I would have come much earlier."
Su Yu: "..." This brat has gotten even bolder with someone backing her up.
"Su Yu is doing this for your own good," said Grandpa Jiang. "You've been crying, haven't you? Your eyes are swollen like walnuts. Jingxing, this is ruining your life."
Upon hearing this, the usually focused Elder Jue couldn't help but look up at Su Yan.
Su Yan touched her eyes and lowered her head awkwardly.
"Please don't say that. I won't give up on Jingxing," she whispered.
Tears welled up in Grandpa Jiang's eyes.
It's a blessing for the Jiang family that his grandson was able to find a girl like Su Yan!
At this moment, Master Jue stopped what he was doing and said to her, "Come here, let me take your pulse."
Su Yan obediently walked to the other side and extended her hand.
Jue Lao took her pulse and stared at her for less than ten seconds.
Su Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked cautiously, "Master, is there a problem?"
"What do you think?" Old Jue snorted coldly and said irritably, "Your pulse is so weak, it's not even as good as a sixty or seventy-year-old woman's! You're so disobedient, do you still want to learn from me?"
"Of course I want to! How could I not?" She was so anxious she was about to cry.
"If you want to, then don't mess with your own body. Why are you, a girl, so strong-willed? Can't you learn from your god-sister, who cries out all the time?"
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang became anxious, "Old Jue, is Ayan's health very poor?"
Jue Lao said, "What a load of rubbish! It's good that she doesn't have to go back to school. I'll take this time to properly adjust her lifestyle so she doesn't die young in her thirties or forties!"
Su Yan: "..."
Without waiting for the reactions of the others, Master Jue said directly to the other two disciples, "You two can go do whatever you need to do tomorrow. You don't need to stay here."
Su Yan then noticed that Guo Ziming had bruises on his face and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Guo Ziming awkwardly avoided her gaze.
Xie Jin said, "I understand, Master. I will return to Guangzhou tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he nudged his third junior brother next to him.
Guo Ziming lowered his head and said sullenly, "I'll see how it goes."
Just as Jue Lao was about to say something, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Everyone looked outside.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit stood at the door.
He stood tall and straight, with a gentle expression and insightful eyes. He exuded an aura of unapproachable authority.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Apart from Old Master Jiang and Old Man Jue, everyone else who was seated stood up and respectfully greeted, "Commander."
Commander?
Su Yan stared blankly at the man outside the door.
The leader in front of her was completely different from the leaders she knew from the 1980s in her previous life.
It seems that this 1980s is not the same time and space she lived in in her previous life.
The leader walked in and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, there's no need to be so nervous. I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by to see Comrade Jiang Jingxing."
After speaking, he looked at the two elderly people beside the bed and asked, "My mentor, Mr. Jue, how is Comrade Jiang Jingxing?"
Facing the highest leader, Jue Lao adopted a casual attitude and said, "Not very optimistic."
"We must save Comrade Jiang's leg no matter what," the leader solemnly instructed.
Master Jue said, "I will do my best to treat him."
"Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, the leader turned to Old Master Jiang and said, "My mentor, I have something to discuss with you privately."
Grandpa Jiang raised an eyebrow, got up with his cane, and walked outside.
The atmosphere in the ward eased a bit after the leader left.
However, since the person hadn't left yet, everyone remained very quiet and didn't dare to relax.
...
Outside the door.
The leader said, "Master, you have already met the peace envoy, haven't you?"
Old Master Jiang sensed something was wrong, and his expression darkened. "What? Did she use her connections to get in your way?"
“It’s not because of her,” the leader said. “It’s because of her father, Si Zhen. Minister Si personally called me and asked me to agree to let Si Nan take care of Jing Xing personally. He said that Si Nan has not eaten well or rested well for a week because of his guilt, and asked me to understand his feelings as a father.”
Grandpa Jiang sneered, "Si Nanming knew Su Yan was coming, yet she still tried every means to get close to my grandson. What do you think her intentions are? I will not allow her to affect Jingxing and Su Yan's relationship."
"Su Yan? Is she the little girl standing next to Elder Jue? I heard she's the old master's newest apprentice."
“That’s right. You have no idea how much Jingxing cherishes her. Before the mission, he asked me to find someone to take good care of her, afraid that she would be bullied.”
The leader laughed and said, "Even a block of ice like Jingxing has come to his senses. I didn't agree to Sizhen's request, so I came to ask for your opinion."
"I won't agree. You'd better find an excuse to send her away right now. What is a peace envoy doing here?" Old Jue said impatiently. "Speaking of which, how did she end up being kidnapped by the enemy?"
"She was originally going to fly back to Country M, but she accidentally entered the airspace above a military camp in Country D. The soldiers of Country D thought it was an enemy provocation and attacked the plane she was on. After the plane landed, the soldiers realized that she was a peace envoy, but the plane was damaged and could not take off temporarily. The leaders of Country D let Si Nan rest for one night and send her away the next day. Unexpectedly, that night, the enemy of Country D launched a sneak attack. Seeing that Si Nan was beautiful, they kidnapped her. It just so happened that the mission Jing Xing was carrying out was to annihilate the army that had repeatedly offended our country's borders.
Si Nan and her entourage were frightened, which is why they brought her back. Now she has stayed behind because she has psychological problems and is unwilling to leave. Her father is a minister in the United States. The problem lies in Si Nan's identity. She is a world peace envoy and the daughter of a minister in the United States. If we send her back by force, who knows if she will smear our country in the future? What if she does? It would damage our country's international image.
Most importantly, this compass has a great international influence and is hailed by people from many countries as the world's most beautiful and benevolent peace ambassador. We must not underestimate it; therefore, we can only treat our guests with courtesy.
Grandpa Jiang frowned.
This compass is indeed a troublesome plague.
He sighed, "Jingxing's fiancée is here. Even if she wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, she wouldn't be taking care of him personally. It's not her turn."
"Grandpa Jiang, if she wants to come, then let her come."
A soft voice suddenly rang out.
