Chapter 47: The Guardian Descends from the Sky

Regardless of whether he received a gift or not, Qi Shaoyou should have gone to see his grandmother off, both out of courtesy and courtesy. The old lady had once said in a very kind tone that Qi Shaoyou was a good child.

That alone is enough reasoning.

0527 watched as Qi Shaoyou rummaged through his clothes, as if he wanted to pull out all of them and examine them thoroughly.

The wardrobe looked like it had been robbed; all the clothes were taken out one by one.

[Dude, what are you doing? If you keep going like this, your closet will be empty!]

Qi Shaoyou, having finally found the mask in the wardrobe, held it in his hand and revealed a bright smile.

Thankfully, I didn't throw it away after I finished using it! A blessing for being thrifty!

Stung by the pangs of frugality, 0527 remembered her tens of millions of Happy Beans!

Su Yan didn't message me, which means she might not want me to go. And what if I go now, and she falls in love with me because of her excessive sadness?

[And last time! She forcibly kissed me! Something's wrong, very wrong! I need to protect myself!]

0527 felt that the protection had appeared out of nowhere.

But it's different when I wear a mask; I can change my identity to see her.

Qi Shaoyou thought she was very clever, and that her decision to create a pseudonym was a very wise one.

You can do what you want without worrying about increasing Su Yan's favorability!

She really can't afford to lose another person who hates her! Sister Manman's favorability rating is already 99%, and she can't afford to lose either Su Yan or the young lady who hates her!

【Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?】0527 always feels that the expert clearly has an easier way.

[If you really want them to hate you, why don't you just hurt them? Those methods are very simple.]

It's so easy for ordinary alphas to be disliked; it's as simple as breathing.

0527 was very serious. She was a system, and she really didn't understand why Qi Shaoyou was treating these mission objectives so carefully.

When she plays video games, she doesn't hold back when it comes to sniping or anything like that.

Qi Shaoyou smiled brightly after hearing 0527's question.

Then, the next second, 0527 heard the devastating news.

Your game account across all platforms has been banned for three days.

0527 looked at his game account and let out a wail.

[You are forbidden from having the same thoughts as the main system!] Qi Shaoyou now even wants to knock some sense into 0527's not-so-bright head.

I want to complete the mission, but that doesn't mean I'll actually do those terrible things. Do you think I don't know what you're trying to say?

[The pain of being an ordinary alpha, arrogant and disrespectful of omegas, or even admiring their pain.]

"I can't do it. I simply can't handle that level of difficulty."

Of course I want 30 billion; that's my retirement fund! But that doesn't mean I have to sacrifice my soul and my principles as a price.

"Have you been watching some weird stuff lately?" Qi Shaoyou really wanted to tap 0527 on the head.

With tears welling up in her eyes, 0527 looked at the accounts banned across all platforms and just wanted to cry her heart out.

I've read a bit of their history books... They all write that as long as you win, as long as you achieve something, you can harm others without restraint.

After their victory, they seized other men's wives and daughters-in-law, committing all sorts of despicable acts. Yet, there were still people who spoke up for them.

I see you've been so cautious, and I feel really bad about it. You could easily walk the same path as the big shots, why are you being so miserable and cautious?

[It feels so unfair to you, the boss... You're so tired...]

Qi Shaoyou never expected that 0527 was thinking that way because he felt too tired.

[0527, I am human; I cannot lose myself just to complete a mission. Even if they win, it doesn't mean their wrongdoings were right.]

Qi Shaoyou's tone softened, and 0527 responded with a wronged tone.

【What about my game account…】0527 held onto a sliver of hope.

【No.】Qi Shaoyou refused decisively, and 0527 immediately wilted.

[This will teach you a lesson; don't come up with such terrible ideas again.] Qi Shaoyou's attitude was unusually firm, and 0527 could only hide in a corner and cry alone.

[No games for the next few days. I'll give you some books to read.] Qi Shaoyou brought another piece of bad news to 0527.

This time, 0527 truly felt like she was being tortured. She was completely deflated, and without the system, she had no desire to study.

A reading list compiled by an expert is definitely for those who need to do reading comprehension exercises...

After Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, she took out a black suit from her closet. 0527 couldn't help but complain that it was another suit.

[0527 This is what you don't understand; this is a funeral, it needs to be more solemn. Wearing my previous black outfits now looks too casual.]

[Besides, wearing this would make me easily recognized. It's simpler and easier; if I need to use this vest to comfort Su Yan again, I'll just wear a suit.]

0527 was about to make a few complaints when she saw Qi Shaoyou had changed into a black suit.

The tailor-made black suit made her look even more upright. The suit was unisex, even with rather sharp lines, but it softened Qi Shaoyou's appearance.

Just like when I saw Su Yan last time, she didn't choose to wear a shirt this time either.

Qi Shaoyou picked out a black turtleneck sweater and sat down at the dressing table to comb her hair.

After she changed her contact lenses, Qi Shaoyou found a black top hat to match her black suit and finally put on a mask. Only then were all the preparations complete.

In the hospital, Su Yan looked at the transparent coffin, her tears already dried up.

I knew this would happen all along. Pancreatic cancer, the king of cancers... The surgery itself is very risky, and it's very difficult to survive the operation.

Her grandmother was so underweight that she didn't even have the chance to go on the operating table. From the moment she fell ill, Su Yan knew clearly that this day would come.

However, knowing is never the same as accepting.

However, Su Yan didn't have much time to wallow in her grief. She soon heard a commotion outside the room.

"I'm her son-in-law, so I'm considered a junior. Why can't I go and visit her?"

With just two sentences, Su Yan immediately recognized that this was her biological bastard father, whose disgusting and greasy tone made him instantly recognizable.

The doctor calmly refuted the doctor's claims based on the precautions Qi Shaoyou had previously given him.

"Where's the evidence? Do you have a marriage certificate?" The doctor's tone was as if he were looking at a clown.

"If not, please do not make noise in the hospital."

Su's father was momentarily speechless and did not immediately refute.

"That's my daughter too! Why won't you let me see my daughter!" Su's father pointed at Su Yan, who had just left the ward, his eyes full of smug satisfaction at having found a bargaining chip.

"Do you have a birth certificate? Is your name listed as the father? Where's the evidence?" The doctor kept bringing up evidence, determined to use the rules to make things difficult for the fat man in front of him.

The guy in front of her was clearly an alpha, but he was only 1.7 meters tall, which was far below the average height of an alpha.

She clearly doesn't exercise regularly; her entire belly is protruding. This person definitely has fatty liver, but as a doctor who has watched Su Yan's journey, I can attest to that.

She would rather this person had liver cancer, and that their abdomen was filled with ascites instead of fat. In that case, they wouldn't live much longer.

The doctor was still smiling, but his words weren't so gentle.

"Where's the security? Call all the hospital security guards over here, and deal with this dead man..."

"I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"Please ask this Mr. Su to leave."

The doctor smiled broadly; she wasn't afraid of this guy threatening her at all. After all, from the very first day the hospital was established, their angel investor had said that the doctors' lives came first.

She wasn't afraid at all!

Moreover, now every family in the industry with even a little bit of connections knows that the Su family is all bark and no bite and has long since run out of money.

"Do you really have to make a scene today?" Su Yan asked expressionlessly, her white dress adorned with a black armband on her left sleeve—a symbol of a deceased loved one. Su Yan looked at the other woman coldly.

This person ruined his mother's life, and now he's causing trouble at his grandmother's funeral.

Su Yan touched the knife she always carried in her pocket.

Before she could make a move, a white slip of paper suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Su's father's head.

"Huh? When I appeared, it seems I accidentally stepped on something?" Qi Shaoyou said, feigning surprise, and then stomped hard on the fleshy pad on the floor.

"Ah! Don't you have eyes?!" Su's father felt a sharp pain as the person who suddenly landed stepped on his back.

"I am a human being, of course I have eyes."

"But my eyes can only see humans, not non-human creatures."

Qi Shaoyou spoke in a friendly tone, then kicked the guy on the ground twice.

"I'm going to sue you! What's your name?! I'm going to sue you to death! Pay me back! Pay me back!" Su's father lay on the ground, shouting incessantly.

"So noisy." Qi Shaoyou's face turned cold, and he uttered two words, directly using the level of his pheromones to suppress the inferior alpha and shut him up.

The excruciating physical and mental pain struck simultaneously, and Su's father fainted instantly.

The security guards arrived at this time, and four or five of them worked together to throw the person out.

After seeing this, the doctor added, "Remember to record his face. He's not allowed to come in again. If he does, throw him out immediately!"

"You've come?" Su Yan thought of the ring her grandmother had given her, and she never expected Qi Shaoyou to appear in front of her like this.

"Your grandmother sent me. I think she's worried about you," Qi Shaoyou said, not lying.

"Yes, I know." Su Yan reached into her pocket with her other hand and stroked the silver ring inside.

This time, Qi Shaoyou was completely confused; she had never met her grandmother under this alias.

Why did Su Yan accept it?

"Please come out with me." Su Yan didn't expose Qi Shaoyou's thoughts. She led Qi Shaoyou to the lawn outside the hospital.

The two found a bench and sat down. Su Yan had expected Qi Shaoyou to come, but she never thought that he would come to her in this situation and in this manner.

The matter with the Su family is almost settled; she could now deal with Su's father decisively.

However, she always felt that she was also partly responsible for the misfortune.

“Grandma told me to give this to the alpha who is good to me.” Su Yan’s eyes revealed sadness.

“I think you must be the alpha that Grandma was talking about.” Su Yan took out the ring. It was a silver ring, and since it was made of silver, it was unlikely to be very expensive.

Qi Shaoyou didn't even consider the price of the ring; she was simply attracted by its beauty.

The design features roses as the main element, surrounded by lush and beautiful vines. The silver ring appears even more exquisite under the sunlight.

"It's not a very valuable item; it's a family heirloom ring. It's said to protect people and keep them safe. I have one too."

"If you don't like it, then just reject me." Su Yan's words cut off Qi Shaoyou's options.

"They said it was to ensure safety, but it didn't protect Mom or Grandma either." Su Yan gave a self-deprecating smile, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"I really like it. Thank you, Grandma, and thank you too." Qi Shaoyou accepted the ring; the silver ring fit perfectly on the pinky finger of her right hand.

So, this is the gift Su Yan's grandmother wanted to give him? Qi Shaoyou felt something was off; Su Yan didn't know his identity...

"It's just a useless thing, like me. There's nothing to thank me for." Su Yan's cold face was full of self-loathing.

"Everyone thinks I'm aloof and arrogant, and sometimes I just find it funny."

“It wasn’t aloofness, it wasn’t arrogance, it was fear, it was dread. Fear of repeating my mother’s mistakes, of making my grandmother work even harder because of my own errors.”

“But you see, it’s still no use. Maybe I’ve always been a useless person.” Su Yan’s eyes were full of self-loathing as she looked at Qi Shaoyou.

Upon hearing Su Yan's words, Qi Shaoyou felt as if he were being burned by the sorrow emanating from her.

She reached out and pulled Su Yan into her arms, Qi Shaoyou gently stroking Su Yan's back, feeling the surging emotions in Su Yan's heart.

"How could you think that, Su Yan? If it weren't for you, how would Grandma face the loss of her daughter?" Qi Shaoyou's voice softened as she gently patted Su Yan.

"Of course you're not a burden to your grandmother." After saying that, Qi Shaoyou realized he had been negligent.

Originally, he wanted to leave Su's father to watch the Su family fall from power, but now it seems better for him to go to Siberia to grow potatoes.

Qi Shaoyou: Now that I'm wearing a disguise, I can finally offer my condolences without hesitation. [Sunglasses]
