Chapter 107 Awakening
"Alright, after all, this is an internal matter of the Gu family. Xiang Wan, I understand your thoughts, but remember one thing: don't let yourself be wronged."
Ding Yaping looked at Su Xiangwan with loving eyes.
As expected of a young lady raised in the Su family, the richest family in Shanghai, she has everything: magnanimity, vision, talent, and skill.
He suddenly understood why the Su family doted on Su Xiangwan.
If this were my own daughter, I would cherish her like the apple of my eye.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ding! Even if I don't hold it against you, I believe Yan Xiao won't let me suffer any injustice."
Su Xiangwan chuckled and spoke.
As the saying goes, "to contend without contending" probably describes her current mindset.
Not to mention Gu Yanxiao, if Gu's father and mother knew what the second branch of the Gu family had done, they would probably rush to the capital at all costs to avenge her.
“You’re right. Your husband and in-laws love you very much. With them around, you really don’t need to lift a finger.”
Ding Yaping was particularly pleased with Su Xiangwan's address of him as "Uncle Ding," understanding that this meant Su Xiangwan truly regarded him as an elder.
Su Xiangwan smiled and poured Ding Yaping a glass of water, saying, "Uncle Ding was protecting me too, wasn't he? If it weren't for Uncle Ding, I'd probably be in big trouble today!"
Ding Yaping smiled and accepted the tea she was offered. No wonder Gu Jianguo and his family doted on this girl who was so intelligent and sweet-talking!
"You still have the nerve to say that! Knowing there might be trouble today, you still deliberately got rid of that girl Yan Fei. With her around, at least she could protect you a little."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan simply smiled and remained silent.
Of course she knew that if Gu Yanfei were there, she could be protected. But it was precisely because Gu Yanfei was skilled that if a conflict arose with Director Ma and the others, Gu Yanfei would definitely take action to protect her.
If Gu Yanfei were to take action, things would become much more complicated.
It was precisely because of this that she sent Gu Yanfei back in advance.
Ding Yaping quickly understood this and held Su Xiangwan in even higher regard.
This girl is exceptional in both character and intelligence; it's just a pity she refuses to work under me.
Otherwise, he would definitely have gained a great general.
Thinking of this, he asked again, unwilling to give up, "Xiang Wan, after you give birth, come work for our Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Whatever your needs, I'll take care of them for you, how about it?"
Looking into Ding Yaping's sincere eyes, Su Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't refuse immediately. Instead, she said, "Uncle Ding, let's talk about this later! I promise you, if I want to go back to work, I'll contact you right away, okay?"
"Good! Good! Xiang Wan, you must remember what I said today!" Ding Yaping said happily.
At least this time, Su Xiangwan didn't refuse so decisively, which means that I still have a chance to poach Su Xiangwan to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Not long after Ding Yaping left, Su Xiangbei and Gu Yanfei returned to the hospital one after the other.
By this time, news about Director Ma and his group had already spread.
After looking Su Xiang up and down for a while, Gu Yanfei finally relaxed and said with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, did you deliberately send me away at noon? Did you know all along that someone would come to cause trouble today? Waaah, how could you do this? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to face my brother, how am I supposed to face Mom and Dad?"
Gu Yanfei has always been a careless person. If it weren't for the recent changes in the Gu family, she would have been someone who was protected from the wickedness of people by her parents and older brother.
After all, living in the compound was like living in an ivory tower for her.
"Little sister, don't overthink it. I didn't actually know they would come at this time. Besides, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Su Xiangwan quickly spoke up to comfort Gu Yanfei, who was clearly terrified.
"Sister-in-law, you really aren't lying to me?" Gu Yanfei thought that what she said made sense.
"Absolutely! Who would have thought they'd be so arrogant, daring to even barge into a hospital ward!"
Su Xiangwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her little sister was still the same little sister, still easy to coax.
“That’s true…” Gu Yanfei nodded. This is a hospital, after all. Who would have thought that those people would be so arrogant!
However, something just feels off.
Fortunately, before Gu Yanfei could think it through, Gu Yanxiao on the hospital bed had already stirred.
"Yan Xiao, you're awake!"
Su Xiangwan noticed it immediately and hurried to the bedside, calling out softly.
He raised his hand and pressed the bell.
“Wanwan…” Gu Yanxiao opened his eyes and focused his gaze on Su Xiangwan’s face.
"It's me. Your anesthesia has just worn off, so don't speak yet. Wait for the doctor to come."
Before long, Dean Song and Su Xiangbei arrived at the ward with a group of doctors.
After examining Gu Yanxiao, Su Xiangbei said, "The patient's surgery was very successful. Her heart was not affected at all. She will stay in the hospital for two more days until the wound heals, and then there will be no problem."
With Su Xiangbei's words, Su Xiangwan and the others finally felt relieved.
For the next two days, Su Xiangwan did not insist on staying by the bedside.
She would spend the day talking to Gu Yanxiao to relieve his boredom, and then go home with Gu Yanfei to rest at night.
Liu Ma and Uncle Wang also took over the task of delivering meals.
Two days later, Gu Yanxiao was finally discharged from the hospital.
Although the surgery is said to be related to the heart, it is ultimately just a matter of removing a bullet from the chest cavity.
Apart from avoiding strenuous movements to prevent tearing the wound, Gu Yanxiao had no other discomfort.
Even so, Gu Yanxiao was still forced to stay at home by Su Xiangwan for three days before he was able to move around freely.
During these three days, Su Xiangbei arrived at the house on time for every meal and ate with them.
To avoid causing trouble for Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanxiao, he always came and went quietly, without alerting anyone.
That day, after dinner, he pulled Gu Yanxiao aside and chatted for a long time in the yard.
"Is Second Brother leaving?"
Seeing his melancholy expression, Gu Yanxiao asked.
"That's right, the tickets are booked, we're leaving tomorrow."
Su Xiangbei nodded, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "The moon shines brightest in one's hometown. The ancients were right. Not only the moon, but the stars are also brighter in our own country."
"Don't worry, Second Brother, I will definitely take good care of Wanwan. When you come back next time, you can hold your little nephew!"
