Chapter 29 As expected of Uncle Yan

The incident of Yu Yan being kidnapped and injured enraged Academician Yu, frightening all the students.

Not only Shao Muyan, but Principal Mu and everyone else were scolded.

"Grandpa..." Yu Yan's eyes reddened, she was anxious, "Please don't scold my uncles, it's all my fault for being careless."

Academician Yu's face turned ashen. "You think I don't want to scold you?"

Yu Yan's face turned red, and tears streamed down her face.

Shao Muyan frowned slightly, handed Yu Yan a tissue, and said to Academician Yu, "Professor, you have a heart condition, don't let Yu Yan worry. If we should scold you, please rest before you do."

Si Nan quickly offered a cup of tea, saying, "Master, please calm down."

"..." Academician Yu glared and puffed out his cheeks, but eventually accepted the tea and calmed down.

Principal Mu and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After everyone left, only four people remained in the ward. The old lady looked at Yu Yan's injuries and cried with heartache.

"What did I tell you? We shouldn't have let Yan Yan go down the path of scientific research in the first place. It's not only hard, but also dangerous. This has happened so many times since she was a child. She never has a peaceful day."

Academician Yu said seriously, "She is Yu Songze's granddaughter, destined from birth to never have a peaceful life. What do you mean by a peaceful life? Does her parents pressuring her to get married and marry her into some wealthy family to become a rich wife mean she can have a peaceful life?"

The old man snorted coldly, "What kind of life did Yan Yan live in the Xiang family during those years? Whether it was hard or not, others may not know, but do you think we don't know? Those so-called wealthy families are not very stable either. They go bankrupt and are heavily in debt at the drop of a hat."

The old lady scolded him, "Xiao Yan is still here, what are you saying?"

Shao Muyan stood behind his teacher, massaging his shoulders, and smiled at the old lady, saying, "Teacher's wife, what the teacher said is true. Nothing is more reliable than the rice bowl in one's own hands."

Academician Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Shao Muyan and Yu Yan exchanged a quick glance, and Yu Yan secretly gave him a thumbs up: As expected of Uncle Yan.

—

Yu Yan needed to rest in the hospital for a few days, but she had a lot of things to do and couldn't take a break.

Shao Muyan made perfect arrangements for her. He would cover her classes at school for a few days, and if he couldn't leave, he would arrange for his own students to teach them. They were all in the same major and could teach.

He also arranged all the work in the lab.

When her senior colleague Cheng Yun visited her in the hospital, she was filled with emotion, saying, "Uncle Shao is truly a capable person; there's nothing he can't solve."

Yu Yan nodded in deep agreement.

But she also knew that Shao Muyan was really working hard. She was already busy with many things, and now she had to add her own things to the mix. Even if you split yourself into eight pieces, it wouldn't be enough.

Yu Yan was anxious and wanted to get better as soon as possible. As long as she could get out of bed, even if she had to use a cane or sit in a wheelchair, it would be better than being confined to bed.

Even though it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, my fractured lower leg still can't exert any strength, and it hurts terribly with the slightest movement.

Yu Yan stood holding onto the foot of the bed for a short while before she couldn't control herself and fell to one side.

"Yu Yan!" Shao Muyan threw down the package in his hand and rushed over quickly, cushioning Yu Yan's fall.

He caught her steadily.

Seeing the pain on Yu Yan's face, his heart clenched. "Slow down, don't move yet."

Shao Muyan helped Yu Yan to sit up slightly, then bent down and picked her up in his arms, frowning. "The caregiver isn't here, how did you get out of bed by yourself? What if you fell?"

Yu Yan was feeling guilty for almost getting into trouble again, and with a pale face, she gave an embarrassed smile, "I wanted to test if I could put any strength into my legs."

Shao Muyan carried her to the bed and flicked her forehead as punishment.

"What's the rush? It's only been a few days. Haven't you heard the saying 'Haste makes waste'?"

Yu Yan was in so much pain that her head was spinning, and she muttered softly, "I don't like hot tofu..."

After saying that, he shut his mouth tightly.

Shao Muyan was leaning down, looking at her with a clear and deep gaze. His eyes held an unreadable meaning, which made Yu Yan inexplicably nervous, her heart pounding.

"Today we don't have hot tofu, we only have hot dry noodles."

Shao Muyan smiled gently and said, "I made it, do you want some?"
