Chapter 110 Protecting One's Own
In fact, the work that should have been handed over was done while Lu Yanchuan was still in the ICU.
Since I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep, I had already told Zhou Yan everything through text messages.
Even if my tablet gets stolen now, it doesn't matter.
But neither Lu Yanchuan nor Shen Li had ever experienced this...
Such a quiet scene, being together.
She held the stylus and drew smooth lines on the screen.
Lu Yanchuan sat quietly beside him, watching.
There's not even a need to say much.
Anyway, Lu Yanchuan was in pain when he was breathing and even more so when he was talking because of his injuries.
If you can keep quiet, the pain will naturally be less.
The two of them remained quietly together.
Shen Li started by just drawing casually, but she became more and more serious as she drew.
When she came to her senses, she turned her head and saw the man who was sitting on the hospital bed, unable to lie down or fall asleep.
He was sitting there, his eyes closed, asleep.
Seeing that he had finally fallen asleep, Shen Li couldn't help but soften her breathing.
I was afraid of waking him.
I put away the tablet and stylus.
He didn't dare get up, afraid that if he made even the slightest noise, the person would wake up.
So he could only continue sitting there.
I had been sitting like this before, and I didn't feel any discomfort.
But at that moment, I was worried that I might make too much movement and wake him up.
So, even though he was in the same position as before, he now felt as if his whole body was stiff.
Before long, my joints started to ache.
Fortunately, I don't know when I fell asleep.
Shen Li didn't know how long she had slept. In her drowsy state, she heard voices.
"It's really... nothing, I'm much better... really..."
Lu Yanchuan's weak voice, so breathless that he could barely speak, instantly brought Shen Li back to her senses.
Before she even opened her eyes, she heard another voice.
It sounded familiar, but in my memory, it should have been a gentle voice.
At this moment, however, it sounds like undisguised anger.
"You call this nothing?! I've already shown your medical records to Old Song, you don't need to lie to me! I know exactly how bad your injuries are!"
Because that gentle voice suddenly turned stern and angry, Shen Li closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
It took me a while to realize it.
“...Grandma?” Shen Li opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
Sure enough, there was the neatly dressed old man.
However, at this moment, the old man's face was filled with cold anger.
Looking at her, one can no longer see the gentle and graceful temperament she had the last time they met.
It's like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath!
Looking at her grandmother's appearance, Shen Li suddenly seemed to understand why this gentle and graceful woman...
She was so strong and resolute back then, insisting on leaving the man who had betrayed her in such a conservative era.
No matter how difficult the times, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
If you betray me, I will leave, even if it means crawling.
Wen Xiuyun's gaze softened slightly when it met Shen Li's. "Awake?"
"Why are you here..." Shen Li wanted to ask her why she came.
But then I think about it and it all seems pointless.
Given Lu Yanchuan's condition, it's perfectly normal for his grandmother to come and visit him.
Wen Xiuyun said, "His parents are two good-for-nothings. Such a big thing happened, and they still want to keep it from me!"
"If Lao Song hadn't seen the news, I would still be in the dark!"
When the old man said these words, there was no trace of gentleness in his voice.
Lu Yanchuan's expression was somewhat helpless.
Given that she already looked weak, she looked quite pitiful.
Lu Yanchuan, clutching the oxygen mask, said in a weak voice, "I was afraid you'd worry, because your blood pressure was... a bit unstable before."
"I took my medicine before coming." Wen Xiuyun's heart softened when she heard Lu Yanchuan's concern.
But her voice remained firm, "Besides, in your current state, who else can you worry about!"
It's already good enough if you can even take care of yourself.
Lu Yanchuan wanted to change the subject to avoid making the old lady angry, so he asked, "Where...where is Old Song?"
"I went to see your attending physician to check your medical records." Grandma said, then glared at Lu Yanchuan. "Old Song only needed to hear about your situation to tell me that your condition is very serious!"
"And yet you still wanted to keep it from me," Grandma continued.
Lu Yanchuan thought to himself, "Well, it seems I can't change the subject or smooth things over."
He could only look to Shen Li for help.
Shen Li caught his gaze, pondered for a moment, then turned to ask her grandmother, "Grandma, is Grandpa Song a doctor?"
"Yes, he's retired." Wen Xiuyun nodded. "He's a veteran; there are still many of his students in this hospital."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li thought to herself, "Fine, I won't try to help Lu Yanchuan change the subject about his grandmother."
Shen Li remained silent for only a few seconds before saying to Wen Xiuyun, "Grandma, I'm sorry, about this matter, my father..."
But Wen Xiuyun's next words took Shen Li by surprise.
Seeing the shame on her face, Wen Xiuyun waved her hand and said, "Forget it, your father isn't that capable. At most, he's just not smart."
So they used them as pawns.
Hearing her grandmother's words, Shen Li couldn't help but think that Lu Yanchuan had said something similar back then.
But even at her age, Grandma is so insightful...
This was truly unexpected for Shen Li.
Or perhaps it wasn't so unexpected after all; it's just that someone had already criticized her before her grandmother.
Therefore, Shen Li felt that it was normal for Lu Yanchuan's elders to blame her for this matter.
Grandma looked at the expression on Shen Li's face, as if she could guess what Shen Li was thinking.
"Yan Chuan's mother came to cause you trouble, didn't she?"
Shen Li did not reply to these words.
"You don't need to take her words too seriously. She's the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. She'll be angry but won't know who to vent to."
"After picking and choosing, she could only pick on someone as easy as you. She probably knows in her heart who the real culprit is."
Regardless, hearing her grandmother's words really improved Shen Li's mood considerably.
"Thank you, Grandma," Shen Li said softly.
Wen Xiuyun said, "I didn't come here to blame you. I'm not like Yanchuan's mother, who bullies the weak and fears the strong and doesn't dare to blame the person who really deserves it."
Lu Yanchuan remained silent, only slowly breathing while clutching his oxygen mask.
A short while later, Grandma gently patted Lu Yanchuan's hand and looked at Shen Li, "I'll go see what Lao Song is doing, and I'll come over later."
After the elderly man left the ward.
Shen Li heard Lu Yanchuan seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Li looked at him, "You haven't told Grandma yet?"
Lu Yanchuan shook his head. "I felt bad just looking at me when I was like that. She's so old, there's no need for that."
Lu Yanchuan spoke calmly, but one could actually hear the tenderness hidden deep within his heart.
