Li Juan looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression.
Su Yan gave her a wink, signaling her to hold back for now.
“You are my daughter, of course I’m on your side.” Su Changcheng said, trying to appeal to people’s emotions. “I’ve figured it out now. Su Zhi isn’t my son. My own daughter is in college and will definitely take care of me in the future, but my nephew might not be so.”
Su Yan was too lazy to waste words with him and said directly, "I cooked some porridge for my mother. You can take yours back and eat it yourself. After you finish eating, hurry back to the Su family and ask for money."
After she finished speaking, she opened the medicinal porridge she had brought, and the aroma instantly filled the ward, attracting other patients who were taking a walk outside to come in.
Su Changcheng swallowed hard, suppressing his craving as he prepared his meal. "Then I'll head back first and send the money over tomorrow."
Before he left, he kept staring at Li Juan's medicinal porridge, his eyes filled with obvious craving. He bumped into the wall when he reached the door and then ran away in embarrassment.
"Serves you right!" Su Yan cursed in a good mood.
"Why does the medicinal cuisine you made today smell so different from yesterday's? It's so much more fragrant."
Li Juan was still angry, but her attention was now focused on the porridge.
Su Yan put the spoon in before handing it to her, saying, "I changed the recipe. I modified the ingredients of the medicinal diet according to your physical condition."
Li Juan nodded in approval as she ate, "You know what, ever since I started taking it with medicinal cuisine, I really feel my health getting better little by little, and I don't even wake up at night anymore."
"That's its advantage; it provides ample nutrition while also repairing minor health problems," Su Yan said proudly.
Medicinal cuisine is her specialty, besides cooking.
In this world, if she dares to claim second place, no one dares to claim first!
Halfway through the meal, Li Juan suddenly remembered and said, "Ayan, Su Changcheng is clearly up to no good. Why won't you let me kick him out? What are you up to, girl?"
“I know what he’s up to, but we can’t turn down money.” Su Yan explained slowly, “Only Old Master Su could come up with the idea of admitting his mistake and seeking peace. Since he’s still up to no good, he’ll definitely meet our demands. He’ll give the money to Su Changcheng and hand it over to us. Money is such a good thing, why not take it? Besides, it’s what you’ve earned yourself over the decades in the Su family. Why not take it?”
She doesn't lack this money, but if she can squeeze it out of the Su family, why not?
Li Juan felt uneasy about it.
She was treated like a slave by the Su family for decades, and in the end she didn't get any benefits. How could she not have any reaction?
My daughter is right. Now that we have this opportunity, why not get the money back?
"You're so clever; your mother wouldn't have thought of these things."
“You take care of tormenting him, I’ll handle everything else,” Su Yan teased. “Isn’t he trying to put on an act? Then treat him the way he treated you before, and let him experience what it’s like to be treated like a beast of burden. Let’s see how long Su Changcheng can endure it.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
Su Yan walked over and opened the door for the person.
Standing outside the door was a young woman, around twenty-five years old, dressed in expensive clothes and exuding an air of nobility.
Su Yan looked puzzled and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The girl spoke a little awkwardly: "Hello, excuse me for bothering you, but my grandma smelled something delicious in her hospital room and asked me to come out and look for it. It seems to be coming from your room. Could you tell me where you bought it? She's having some trouble adjusting to the new environment, and I bought her several kinds of food, but she doesn't like any of them."
Su Yan's mind went blank for a few seconds, then she went back to the ward, took out another untouched bowl of medicinal food, opened the lid, handed it over, and asked, "Is this what you mean?"
She smelled it and nodded quickly, saying, "This is it! It smells so good! It smells even better than the French food I've had!"
"This is a medicinal porridge I made for my mother; you can't buy it anywhere else," Su Yan said.
"Oh? So you did it yourself." The girl's face immediately fell in disappointment upon hearing this.
She has an adorable appearance, with innocent and bright eyes, clearly a little princess who has been well protected by her family.
Seeing the little girl's sullen face, Su Yan felt a little sorry for her. After thinking for a moment, she said, "This bowl hasn't been touched. My mother can't finish all of it. If you don't mind, you can take it to your grandma."
The girl immediately smiled brightly, "How could I? How about I give you the money? Otherwise, I'm afraid my grandma will scold me."
"No need," Su Yan said. "Homemade things don't cost much. You can take it. Just bring the bowl back later."
"Okay! Oh, by the way, my name is Tao Yue, and I'm in room 105. I won't lie to you!"
After finishing her sentence, Tao Yue happily took the porridge and left.
Despite being in her early twenties, she looks like a child.
Li Juan asked curiously, "That girl's accent doesn't sound like she's from Lanzhou. Why is she here for treatment?"
Su Yan closed the door and said, "Judging from their accent, they're from Beijing. They're probably here for tourism. The old lady must not be feeling well."
"I see."
Tao Yue walked into the ward, overjoyed. "Grandma, I found what you wanted to eat!"
There was only one elderly woman in the ward, with a full head of white hair, a kind face, and glasses, sitting on the bed.
The room was filled with all kinds of food, and it looked like it hadn't been touched at all.
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Grandma Tao immediately perked up, "Quick, quick, bring it to me."
Tao Yue opened the lid for her and explained, "This is medicinal porridge. It was made by that little girl for her mother. There were two portions, but her mother couldn't finish them, so she asked me to bring them over for you to try."
Grandma Tao took a bite, and her eyes narrowed with delight at how delicious it was. She couldn't help but praise, "This porridge tastes so good! Although it's a medicinal porridge, I can't taste any medicine at all. It's completely different from the bitter medicinal porridges I've had before. Have I been tricked?"
"How could that be? Those prescriptions were written by the most famous doctors in Beijing. If they dared to lie to you, they would have to risk their reputation."
Just as Tao Yue finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
She took it, held it to her ear, and said happily, "Big brother, I found something Grandma likes to eat."
Then she recounted what had just happened from beginning to end.
The man on the other end of the phone immediately said, "Go ask that girl if I pay her a thousand yuan a month, can she come to our house to make medicinal porridge for my grandma?"
"Brother!" Tao Yue pouted slightly, a little annoyed. "Why do you always try to solve problems with money? What if she thinks we're insulting her?"
"Isn't it better to solve the problem with money? I'm doing this for Grandma. Go ask her, or let her ask how much salary she wants per month."
Tao Yue reluctantly replied, "I understand."
"I'll pick you up after I finish what I'm doing. I should arrive around tomorrow afternoon."
