Compared to Zhou Zhengqing's indignant expression, Gu Zhiyun appeared very calm.

Shen Jingyan thought to herself that Gu Zhiyun had always been "someone else's child" since he was a child, and he was used to being praised.

She just felt that Zhou Zhengqing and Gu Zhiyun were not on the same level at all, and Gu Zhiyun would definitely look down on them if they were compared.

Voices could be heard coming from the ward again; it seemed Zhou Lianjie was still unwilling to give up.

"Dad, as long as Zhengqing can get into Professor Xu's group, I'll personally urge him to study hard. Getting into university will be just around the corner! You and Professor Xu have known each other for over twenty years; you have more influence with him than anyone else. It's just a matter of your word. Please help your grandson."

Zhou Lianjie and Old Man Qin have completely different values, and every word he says hits Old Man Qin's sore spot.

"You've already reached the position of Chief Executive, and instead of helping Zhengqing learn and improve step by step, why are you always thinking about taking shortcuts and finding back doors? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want Zhengqing to squeeze into Professor Xu's group so that he can get some prestige and enter politics sooner in the future?"

You'd better give up on that idea! Zhengqing isn't cut out for it! And don't think the higher-ups are blind! From now on, people like Zhengqing—lacking education and ability, yet ambitious but unrealistic—shouldn't expect to find loopholes and reap the rewards without effort! Only outstanding young people like Xiao Gu, who are down-to-earth and diligently pursue academic research, are the pillars of our country's future!

Old Qin's merciless comparisons and criticisms were like sharp needles, stabbing Zhou Zhengqing mercilessly.

He even hated Old Man Qin a little. This stubborn old stone made him lose face and dignity in front of Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan!

Zhou Lianjie was rendered speechless by the lecture, knowing that he couldn't persuade Old Man Qin, so he could only leave with a dark face.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Zhiyun, whom Old Man Qin greatly admired, and his gaze lingered on him for a long time.

"Dad, I told you we couldn't get Grandpa to agree to our request, so we should have asked Awang instead!"

Awang is a military dog ​​raised by Old Man Qin, and it is very intelligent and humane.

Awang used to be an excellent military dog. After retiring from the army due to old age, Old Man Qin adopted Awang.

With Old Man Qin currently hospitalized and his wife having passed away, Awang has been temporarily placed in the care of the Zhou family.

Zhou Lianjie sighed: "Your grandfather's dog has the same temperament as him."

Zhou Zhengqing didn't even bother to go in and say hello; he simply put his hands in his pockets and walked out.

Zhou Lianjie followed behind, still unwilling to give up, and said to Zhou Zhengqing:

"Come on, let's go home. I'll have your mom beg your grandpa another day. I don't believe he won't give your mom face."

Zhou Zhengqing curled his lip in disbelief.

After the Zhou family father and son left, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun returned to the ward.

Old Qin was sitting on the bed, angry, but his expression softened considerably when he saw the two of them come in.

The thought of his good-for-nothing grandson and his opportunistic son-in-law filled him with rage.

Zhou Zhengqing's name was personally chosen by Old Man Qin. Both "Zheng" and "Qing" are excellent characters, and together they have a beautiful meaning, which shows that Old Man Qin has high hopes for Zhou Zhengqing.

But Zhou Zhengqing was spoiled and raised badly.

When his daughter Qin Yuehe gave birth to Zhou Zhengqing, she suffered a difficult labor and severe bleeding, almost dying on the operating table. Therefore, he doted on Zhou Zhengqing.

I can't bear to see my precious son suffer even a little bit.

Furthermore, Zhou Lianjie was not a particularly upright and honest person; he was used to playing tricks, which made his influence on Zhou Zhengqing even worse.

Old Man Qin hated himself for not being stricter with Zhou Zhengqing when he was young; perhaps he wouldn't be like this now.

But it's too late to educate them now.

The more he looked at Gu Zhiyun, the more emotional he felt. Why are all the good kids someone else's?

Not long after, Shen Yulan arrived at the ward. Shen Jingyan spoke a few words to her and then left with Gu Zhiyun.

"Grandpa Qin, I made some white fungus and red date soup, which is good for sleep. Why don't you drink some before you go to sleep?"

Shen Yulan poured a bowl of soup from a thermos and handed it to Old Man Qin.

Old Qin also liked Shen Yulan very much.

After taking a couple of sips, Old Man Qin squinted his eyes contentedly.

But the thought of Zhou Zhengqing's ill intentions towards Shen Jingyan made him worried again.

"Yulan, if anything happens, just tell your grandfather. Don't be shy!"

Shen Yulan found this statement rather nonsensical, so she smiled and said, "Grandpa Qin, I have Jingya and Xiao Gu taking care of me here, what could possibly happen to me!"

Old Man Qin, however, did not think so.

Now that Zhou Zhengqing has taken a liking to Shen Jingyan, he'll definitely be like a fly, harassing Shen Jingyan every now and then under the guise of visiting him.

Shen Yulan was also a young and pretty girl, and it was hard to guarantee that Zhou Zhengqing wouldn't have wicked thoughts upon seeing her.

Shen Jingyan is a feisty and intelligent girl, and Zhou Zhengqing has a hard time controlling her. However, Shen Yulan is gentle and soft-hearted, and Old Man Qin is afraid that she will suffer at Zhou Zhengqing's hands.

Just then, Anzi and Feibao woke up; one was drinking soup, and the other was playing with toys. Shen Yulan went to the toilet, and Old Man Qin said very seriously to the two children:

"You two must always be vigilant and protect your sister Yulan. Don't let her be bullied by those scoundrels, understand?"
