Chapter 36 Green Tea, Die!
Hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Gu Yuheng had already made all the necessary arrangements.
Grandma Su was immediately admitted to the hospital ward.
To avoid disturbing the elderly patient's rest, Gu Yuheng thoughtfully arranged a single room with a separate washroom and rest area. The room was spacious and bright, which would naturally improve the patient's mood.
Grandma Su had just changed into her hospital gown and was lying in bed.
A nurse came over with a tray to draw blood, and after that, the attending physician came over to inquire about the patient's condition.
The old lady had suffered her whole life and had never been treated so kindly before, so she was a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Gu Yuheng was there to comfort her.
Su Niannian stood aside, watching Gu Yuheng's actions, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
Gu Yuheng has helped her so much these days.
Now he's even taking care of his grandmother.
Su Niannian had no idea how she would repay him in the future.
After Gu Yuheng finished talking with the attending physician, he walked over and his gaze fell on Su Niannian's fair arm. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
Then he said softly, "I'll stay here with Grandma. Go find a nurse to disinfect the wound."
After he reminded her, Su Niannian noticed a two-centimeter cut on her arm, which was scratched when Zuo Mingming pulled her.
Grandma Su quickly urged her granddaughter, "Niannian, Grandma is fine here. Listen to Mr. Gu and go disinfect."
Not wanting to worry them, Su Niannian nodded and turned to go to the nurses' station.
Grandma Su watched Su Niannian's figure disappear, leaned against the headboard, paused for a moment, and said, "Mr. Gu, what is your relationship with our Niannian?"
The old lady thought about it the whole way.
Her granddaughter was constantly worried about the cost of her surgery, and she was afraid that the child might be confused and sell her body to raise money for her surgery.
Gu Yuheng's insight was beyond that of ordinary people; how could he not see the old lady's worries?
He sat on the chair by the bed, humble and polite, just like any other junior, without any airs of someone in a high position.
"Grandma, I'm Niannian's boyfriend."
He didn't mention that they were getting a marriage certificate, wanting to take it one step at a time, otherwise the old man would be upset to hear that his granddaughter had gotten married out of the blue.
Of course I'm worried.
Upon hearing this answer, Grandma Su's tense expression indeed relaxed somewhat.
However, she also noticed the significant difference in social status between Gu Yuheng and her granddaughter.
She was worried that he was lying to her.
Gu Yuheng saw through the old woman's thoughts and said with a smile, "Grandma, if you don't believe me, you can ask Niannian yourself when she comes back. You know Niannian's character; she certainly won't lie, right?"
Grandma Su smiled and said, "Child, that's not what I meant. I'm just afraid that Niannian will do something foolish because of me."
Gu Yuheng said understandingly, "Grandma, I understand what you mean. Niannian is a clear-headed, independent, and resilient girl. She won't do anything foolish that will worry you."
Nurse station.
After Su Niannian came over and explained the situation, a nurse took her to the treatment room next door to apply the medicine.
Just as the nurse had prepared the disinfectant supplies and was about to disinfect Su Niannian's wound, a female doctor in a white coat walked in with her hands in her pockets and a cold expression.
"Dr. Chen," the nurse said, "Are you on duty today?"
Shen Wanxi smiled and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'm free right now, so I'll apply the medicine for her."
Just then, the call bell at the nurses' station rang. The nurse nodded and went out.
Shen Wanxi stood at the door and sized up Su Niannian.
He then sat down in the chair in front of her.
He glanced at Su Niannian briefly, then his gaze shifted to the tray containing iodine swabs, and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Su Niannian's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Shen Wanxi in front of her. It wasn't that she hadn't seen beautiful women before, but Shen Wanxi possessed the air of a refined lady from the Republican era.
She was strikingly beautiful, with light, basic makeup. Her eyebrows were slightly arched with a natural curve, and her lips were a warm, dusty rose color, which added a touch of restrained elegance to her natural charm.
She looked down at herself and felt like she hadn't grown up yet.
She extended her left arm and said politely, "Thank you for your help."
Shen Wanxi smiled, picked up a piece of iodine-soaked cotton and disinfected Su Niannian's wound. Her eyes were lowered, so her expression was unreadable. She casually asked, "Miss Su, how do you know Yu Heng?"
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but ponder the identity of the person in front of her.
"You are...?"
Shen Wanxi looked up at her and said, "I guess Yu Heng hasn't mentioned me to you yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shen Wanxi. A few years ago, Yu Heng and I worked together in Africa as doctors who were sent to aid Africa."
The image of Shen Wanxi, whom Zhang Mei had mentioned, instantly flashed into Su Niannian's mind.
She couldn't help but steal a glance at the beautiful woman in front of her.
Could the person Gu Yuheng secretly loves be this Dr. Shen?
Su Niannian's fingers, which were resting on her lap, unconsciously curled up.
Shen Wanxi noticed her scrutinizing gaze, said nothing, got up and threw the contaminated disinfectant cotton into the trash can, then returned and sat down in front of Su Niannian again.
They continued applying the medicine, and the slight stinging sensation brought Su Niannian back to her senses instantly.
She looked at Shen Wanxi, then calmly took the ointment and applied it to the wound.
Then Shen Wanxi said, "Yuheng and I have been through life and death in Africa. Once we went to the slums for a free clinic, but we encountered a terrorist attack by an anti-government organization. Armed men with AKs surrounded the low and dilapidated houses. Yuheng was injured by the reactionaries while trying to save a local girl. At the critical moment, I mobilized blood to save his life."
Su Niannian looked at her quietly, noticing a strong smell of tea in the room.
After applying the medicine, Shen Wanxi continued, "So Yuheng is very grateful to me for saving his life. He has remained unmarried for so many years because he was waiting for me to return to the country. People outside say that he is not good at male prowess, but only I know that he was waiting for me."
Su Niannian's lips twitched involuntarily. What had she heard? Did she think that Su Niannian was going to compete with her for Gu Yuheng, so she came over to show off to her?
But why did she hear Shen Wanxi's words?
I feel inexplicably choked up.
It's like having a big rock blocking your way.
It's just as painful.
What are you doing here?
A deep voice sounded at the doorway of the room.
The two people inside looked in the direction of the sound and were met with Gu Yuheng's expressionless face.
Looking at Gu Yuheng's dark face, Su Niannian wondered who had upset him again.
Upon seeing Gu Yuheng, Shen Wanxi immediately stood up and walked a few steps to him, her previous composure completely gone.
"Yuheng, why didn't you tell me you were coming today? I could have made arrangements for you. What's our relationship? Do you need to be so polite?"
Gu Yuheng glanced at the stunned Su Niannian, then looked away, his eyes filled with indifference as he looked at Shen Wanxi: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I have anything to do with you?"
Shen Wanxi was not angry at Gu Yuheng's cold attitude; instead, she looked very understanding.
“I know my second brother has a conflict with you, so you deliberately put on a cold attitude and kept me at arm’s length.”
