Chapter 141 This child doesn't look like you

Grandpa Yu has an old back injury, so this sudden movement could be quite serious.

Su Rui immediately began acupuncture.

The thin needle pierced his lower back, causing the old man to twitch in pain. Su Rui instructed Yu Yan and Shao Muyan to hold the old man down on either side to prevent him from moving.

"Let me do it." Xiang Jingheng was afraid that Yu Yan wouldn't be able to hold him down, so he wanted to step forward to help.

Yu Yan ignored him.

The old man forced out four words through gritted teeth: "Get out of here."

"..."

Xiang Jingheng was completely ignored here and could only stand awkwardly to the side.

"Don't move around."

Su Rui's tone wasn't very pleasant, "If the needle goes in the wrong place, you'll be paralyzed on one side, and your family will suffer. Your children will have to take time out of their lives to take care of you."

One sentence was enough to calm the old man down, and he lay there motionless.

Su Rui then looked at Jing Heng and said, "This isn't your grandfather, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiang Jingheng: "..."

After divorcing Yu Yan, he became an outsider. Shao Muyan was his own disciple, so what was he?

Xiang Jingheng could only stand aside. He was also in pain all over because of the old man's beating, but no one came to care about him.

He's really become a nuisance.

Xiang Chu watched helplessly as the doctor inserted a row of silver needles into the old man's lower back, making his face turn pale.

He never expected that such a simple push would cause his great-grandfather such serious injury...

When he was sick with a cold, even getting a shot in the butt hurt him terribly, so you can imagine how much pain it must have been for his great-grandfather!

Seeing Xiang Chu trembling with fear, the old lady sighed inwardly and said to Shao Yun, "Yunyun, why don't you take Xiang Chu out to play?"

Shao Yun didn't want to leave. He glanced at Xiang Chu and said indifferently, "Go out by yourself."

"..."

Xiang Chu knew his brother was angry just by looking at Shao Yun's cold face.

I was both scared and aggrieved.

"I didn't mean to."

He subconsciously began to defend himself, but when he met Shao Yun's gaze, he shrank back cowardly and bowed to the old man with unusual honesty, apologizing: "I'm sorry, Grandfather, I didn't mean to hurt you like this."

The old man grunted. At his age, he wouldn't really argue with a child, especially one of Yu Yan's children.

To be honest, they didn't have much contact with Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu. They weren't particularly close to Xiang Chu, and were even closer to Shao Yun than to Xiang Chu.

But Xiang Chu still has Yu Yan's blood in her veins, so she is considered half a member of the Yu family.

I really want to get close, but I just can't seem to get close to them.

Just as she was about to say "It's okay," Xiang Chu couldn't help but say, "But who told you to hit my dad first? If you hadn't hit my dad, I wouldn't have pushed you."

"..." These two sentences left the old man speechless.

Old Master Yu can now understand Yu Yan's feelings. He knows what it feels like for Xiang Chu to always side with the Xiang family and stand on the same side as his father against him.

It's congested, heartbreaking, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Su Rui glanced at Chu and raised an eyebrow: This kid really is sharp-tongued.

"This child has quite a fiery temper, who does he take after?"

Su Rui looked at Yu Yan and said before she could answer, "Anyway, I don't really resemble you."

He added, "Some relationships can't be forced. If there's no fate between you, let go sooner rather than later. Sometimes letting go is a form of fulfillment."

Yu Yan assumed the words were directed at her and was about to nod when she saw Su Rui look at Jing Heng. "You agree, Mr. Xiang?"

Xiang Jingheng looked up, speechless.

If he could truly let go, he wouldn't have come.

After acupuncture for half a day, the old man finally fell asleep in a daze from the pain.

Shao Muyan covered the old man with a blanket and said to Yu Yan, whose eyes were red, "Let the teacher rest well. Let's go outside to talk."

Yu Yan nodded and pulled the blanket up a little for the old man.

Xiang Jingheng stood aside, watching Shao Muyan and Yu Yan's actions, his eyes growing darker.

Since Yu Yan returned to China, every time he saw Yu Yan and Shao Muyan standing side by side, he felt a very subtle feeling.

Their magnetic fields are very compatible, like the natural North and South Poles. Two very strong magnets will automatically attract each other when they touch, excluding everyone else.

Even though I didn't feel that there was anything explicit between them, there was a strange sense that it was natural, as if they were a match made in heaven.

Thinking of this, Xiang Jingheng felt a surge of bitterness from the deepest part of his heart, so bitter that his teeth chattered.

Once outside, Su Rui yawned lazily.

Before the first-aid kit was even closed, Dr. Su, upholding the medical ethics of "since we're already here," pointed at Jing Heng and said, "Take off your clothes, I'll treat your injury."

Xiang Jingheng was taken aback and glanced at Yu Yan: "Isn't that enough?"

"Hurry up."

Su Rui was impatient. "If the wound gets infected, you'll be bedridden and have to stay here. Besides, your little rascal is so protective of you. If you fall ill, wouldn't he eat his mother and great-grandfather alive?"

The seemingly joking words caused Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu's faces to flush red and then pale.

They seemed to only then remember their purpose; they had come to visit the elderly, but somehow things had turned out this way.

A light rain began to fall outside, and the misty mountains were even more enchanting in the rain.

The old lady went to the kitchen to make ginger tea. In the living room, Su Rui treated Xiang Jingheng's injuries, who was shirtless. Yu Yan stood on the veranda, quietly watching the rain, her face showing no sign of her thoughts.

With a coat draped over her shoulders, Yu Yan turned her head and saw Shao Muyan.

She gave him a smirk.

Shao Muyan acted very boldly this time. Without consulting Yu Yan, he wrapped his arms around her, his strong hand lightly resting on her right shoulder, and patted his own shoulder.

Yu Yan was quite unceremonious this time, tilting her head and leaning against him.

She was very close, and she could smell Uncle Yan's scent.

Like the mountain scenery, it has a refreshing minty feel, yet it makes people feel at ease.

Xiang Jingheng sat in the chair, shirtless, with his back straight and his neck stretched out, trying to see what was happening outside.

After Shao Muyan and Yu Yan went out, the two of them remained completely silent, which made people even more uneasy.

"hiss--"

The ointment was applied to his back, and Xiang Jingheng shrank back as the coldness hit him. "It's so cold."

"Coolness is just right." Su Rui's voice came calmly from behind. "This ointment is my exclusive secret recipe. It heals quickly after application. It contains thousand-year-old snow lotus, which is very expensive."

He quoted another price and then said, "Don't forget to pay later."

Xiang Jingheng: "..."

He turned his head, speechless. "Who are you? Are you here specifically to extort money?"

"Yes, I'm a barefoot doctor, and I love making money off rich people."

Su Rui hastily applied the ointment to Xiang Jingheng, then professionally pulled out a QR code to pay, saying, "Just scan the code to pay, but be careful not to forget a zero, or you won't be able to get out of this mountain."

"..." If it weren't for the "miracle doctor" invited by the Yu family, Xiang Jingheng would have called the police.

After paying with a sullen face, he put on his clothes and was surprised to find that the areas on his back where he had applied medicine no longer hurt, only the wounds on his legs where he hadn't applied medicine were still very painful.

He then spent a large sum of money to buy another small pot of ointment.

It was still raining outside, and Su Rui didn't leave for a while. He made a sum of money, and Dr. Su was quite happy. He took a sip of the ginger tea handed to him by the old lady and went to find the two children to play with.

Shao Yun was still angry with Xiang Chu, and ignored him with a stern face.

Xiang Chu sat on a small stool, curling herself up into a little mushroom.

"Your name is Xiang Chu, huh?" Su Rui asked Xiang Chu, tilting his head like a "weird uncle." "Since you don't like your mother and aren't close to her, why are you looking for her?"
