"Thank you, Grandpa." Jiang Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew how much his grandfather was looking forward to the birth of his child, and although the old man had agreed, he must have been feeling terrible inside.
Grandpa Jiang waved his hand, "Alright, you and Xiao Su go ahead and chat. I'll have a talk with your Grandpa Jue."
Jiang Jingxing nodded.
Afterwards, Grandpa Jiang called Old Man Jue to the Chinese medicine room.
After closing the door, Grandpa Jiang asked directly, "Is there really no way for Yan'er's body to return to normal? Logically speaking, she's still so young, shouldn't she be able to recover with proper care?"
Knowing that Old Master Jiang was in a bad mood, Jue Lao sighed helplessly, "Ayan is my disciple. How could I not try to cure her if I can? But the juice of the 'Lola Fruit' is too cold, just like the plants that grow in the snowy mountains, which is very bad for women's health."
Even a strong man like Jiang Xiaozhi clearly showed signs of cold invading his body, but since he's a man, it didn't affect him much. It's different for women. For a woman to conceive, her body needs to be at least 70-80% healthy, if not perfectly. But after this ordeal, my little apprentice is barely reaching 50%. Even with all my medical skills, I'm afraid I can only recover to 60% afterward.”
Some things, once they happen, are simply happening. No matter how skilled a doctor is, it's impossible to solve every situation.
He will definitely take good care of Su Yan's health, but he has no confidence in restoring her fertility.
Even if she were lucky enough to get pregnant, given her physical condition, she wouldn't be able to keep the baby.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang sighed heavily and said regretfully, "That would be such a pity."
“Old Jiang, if Jiang’s son marries Ayan, it means that the Jiang family may… have no next generation. I know you long for a great-grandson and find it hard to accept. If it really doesn’t work out, you can talk to Jiang’s son again. Ayan is an open-minded person.”
Old Jue felt very sorry for Su Yan.
It wasn't that he wanted to break them up, but he was worried that things might change in the future.
For example, Jiang Jingxing can't keep his promises. Rather than waiting until Su Yan's feelings for him deepen before getting hurt, it's better to break it off now. After all, they haven't been dating for long, and they can get over it after a period of separation.
Grandpa Jiang glared at him and said irritably, "What kind of person do you take me for? Let me tell you, if Jiang Jingxing dares to wrong Yan'er, I'll be the first to not let him off the hook!"
How could he not understand the implied meaning in Jue Lao's words?
But he's not a fool; how could he possibly break them up just because Su Yan can't have children?
If he really did that, Jiang Jingxing would definitely develop a rift with his grandfather.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Pretend I didn't ask anything," said Old Master Jiang.
Old Jue was silent for a moment, then said, "Old friend, are you sure you've thought it through? Once you've thought it through, there's no going back."
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Old Master Jiang said impatiently, "When have I ever gone back on my word?"
...
Outside.
Su Yu sat by Jiang Jingxing's bedside, but his gaze was fixed on his sister. He said, "Don't tell Ayan about this. It's best to keep it from her forever. What do you think?"
His tone was ambiguous, as if he were making a casual probing, but it didn't seem so.
Jiang Jingxing said helplessly, "You don't need to test me like this. Whether it was before or now, my feelings for her will only grow deeper. Of course, I will keep things that would hurt her from me."
Su Yu wasn't embarrassed at all when he was exposed. Instead, he snorted coldly, "I only have one sister. I won't let anyone who dares to hurt her get away with it."
Jiang Jingxing suddenly understood what he meant, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly said, "What do you want to do to my mother?"
"What? Are you feeling sorry for him?"
Su Yu looked away and smiled at him, but the smile in his eyes didn't reach its full extent.
"no."
Jiang Jingxing was utterly disappointed in Qin Qin.
She gave birth to him, yet failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.
For Qin Qin, her son was merely a tool to bring her prestige.
"Do whatever you want, just be mindful of boundaries," he said calmly.
Su Yu was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. I thought you would protect your mother."
"To me, she can't be compared to Ayan."
He will never forget the tragedy of his childhood.
If his grandfather hadn't discovered him in time that day, he might not have survived.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Su Yu was extremely satisfied.
What are you planning to do?
"I heard that your mother cares most about her family, right? Then let's start with her family."
He certainly wouldn't do anything illegal; he just wanted to vent his anger for Su Yan.
Besides, the Qin family has done a lot of dirty things over the years with the backing of the Jiang family, so they won't be wronged no matter what fate awaits them.
At this moment, Su Yan, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly convulsed.
The men present were so frightened that they instinctively rushed over.
"Junior Sister!"
"Ayan!"
Guo Ziming and Jiang Jingxing spoke one after the other.
Jiang Jingxing endured the pain from his wound and got out of bed. He reached out and touched her small face, feeling a burning sensation in his palm.
His expression suddenly changed, and he looked up anxiously at Guo Ziming, saying, "She has a fever, quickly check what's wrong."
Su Yu immediately touched her forehead; it was frighteningly hot.
The next second.
"puff--!"
Su Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The glaring red instantly stained her cheeks and neck.
"puff--!"
She took two bites in a row, and her clothes were soaked.
Jiang Jingxing's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled involuntarily, "Ayan, Ayan, what's wrong with you? Can you hear me?"
After vomiting blood, Su Yan became unresponsive.
Guo Ziming took the pulse for a long time without saying a word.
Xie Jin pulled him aside, saying, "I'll do it, you're too slow."
Guo Ziming's face turned green.
If you're going to come, then come. Why are you insulting me?
A dozen seconds later, Xie Jin's brows furrowed even deeper, "How could this be..."
Hearing the commotion, Grandpa Jue and Grandpa Jiang came out of the Chinese medicine room.
Seeing Su Yan covered in blood, Jue Lao's heart leaped into his throat. "What happened?"
Xie Jin released his grip and said with a serious expression, "Master, apart from her pulse being a little rapid, there's nothing else wrong with my junior sister, but she has a fever."
Upon hearing this, Elder Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave Ye Feixu a look and said, "Second brother, go and take your junior sister's pulse."
Ye Feixu nodded slightly.
Everyone was quite surprised to see that Old Jue was not in a hurry.
About half a minute later, Ye Feixu withdrew his hand and said thoughtfully, "Master, Junior Sister had a fever because of excessive cold energy in her body. Also, the blood she vomited this time was bright red, and the poison in her body has been expelled."
