Chapter 28 He became a complete outsider

Xiang Jingheng confiscated the five million check.

He tampered with the silver box belonging to the robbers, and they failed. Instead, they were exposed and returned the five million to Jing Heng intact, not a penny less.

Yu Yan simply nodded after hearing this, "That's normal, he's never the type to suffer a loss."

Yu Yan didn't say much more or ask any more questions.

Shao Muyan sat on the edge of the bed peeling an apple and told Yu Yan that when her teacher and his wife were on their way to the hospital, Yu Yan didn't move the banana in her mouth and swallowed it whole.

"ah?"

"I can't hide it." Shao Muyan cut the apple into pieces and used a small fork to feed it to Yu Yan. "I dare not hide it either. This happened not long after you returned to the country, right under my nose. I can't shirk my responsibility."

Yu Yan quickly chewed the apple twice and swallowed it. "Uncle Yan, don't say that. What does this have to do with you? It was my own carelessness. Don't feel guilty about it."

She knew that Shao Muyan was a very responsible person and would definitely take the blame for this.

"Grandpa...did he scold you?" Yu Yan's heart clenched.

Shao Muyan fed her another piece of apple, gazing at her intently with deep eyes, "Shouldn't I have been scolded?"

"Of course not!" Yu Yan almost choked on the apple in her mouth, and said urgently, "Uncle Yan, please don't feel guilty about this. I'm most afraid of this!"

Her parents changed their plans for raising her because she was kidnapped and left with psychological trauma; they didn't want her to pursue a career in scientific research.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten married so early. Even when she was pregnant, she wanted to pursue a degree and continue her studies. But the circumstances were too much for her. At that time, both her family and her husband's family were putting immense pressure on her.

She was truly afraid of those who claimed to care about her and wanted what was best for her, yet they all insisted on changing and restricting her thoughts and behaviors. She could bear her own fate, accepting both the good and the bad, and didn't need anyone to take responsibility for her.

"I..." Shao Muyan saw that her expression was not right and was about to say something when Si Nan knocked on the door and came in, bowing and saying that the clerk and the others would be arriving soon.

Shao Muyan nodded and said he understood.

Just then, the nurse came in to change the dressing, and Yu Yan said to Shao Muyan, "Uncle Yan, could you go out and meet them for me? Try to calm my grandparents down and tell them not to worry or get upset, they're so old."

If she angers Yu Yan to the point of causing her illness, then Yu Yan would truly deserve to die.

Shao Muyan said okay, telling her not to worry.

As they went out to pick up the person, the nurse was removing Yu Yan's bandages and couldn't help but say, "Your husband really cares about you. He's been watching over you for two days and one night without closing his eyes, and he hasn't even stepped out of the room. His handsome face looks terrible."

ah……

Yu Yan opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

“You lost a lot of blood, and he gave you a lot of blood transfusions. You should eat more blood-nourishing foods later, and you both need to replenish your blood.”

The nurse gave her a gossipy yet kind smile, "You two are a perfect match, I hope you'll get married soon, good luck!"

"..." Yu Yan was speechless.

Did the young lady not hear her calling out "Uncle Yan" a few times?

I still thought... it was a term of endearment.

Academician Yu's visit even alarmed the director of the military hospital, who personally went to the entrance to greet him.

Xiang Jingheng had been waiting outside the hospital ward for the past few days without leaving. When Academician Yu and the old lady came up to him, Xiang Jingheng stood up and called out, "Grandpa and Grandma."

Academician Yu's face was cold and stern: "What are you doing here?"

"I...I'm worried about Yu Yan."

"Heh." Academician Yu made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, showing no respect whatsoever, and turned to leave without even glancing at Xiang Jingheng.

The old lady asked, "How is Xiao Chu?"

Xiang Jingheng quickly replied, "I'm fine, nothing serious. I went to school today."

The old lady nodded and said, "Go back. We'll take care of things here. Her grandfather has a short temper, and if he gets angry here, it won't look good for you either. Let's go."

Xiang Jingheng's face was so pale it was almost transparent.

He had long lost all face with the Yu family and had become a complete outsider.
