Chapter 139 Let me tell you about how you plotted to harm our young mistress.
The food in the villa is handled with strict procedures.
Su Niannian usually eats these kinds of foods and has never shown any abnormalities.
Why did I suddenly have an allergic reaction this time?
Gu Yuheng was always meticulous. On the way here, he had been filled with deep suspicion, but he was also worried about Nian Nian's safety.
That's how the matter was temporarily suppressed.
At this point, he saw that Niannian's condition was stable and there were no major problems. After the IV drip was finished, the rash on her body almost disappeared.
That's when the matter came up.
Su Niannian thought about his question carefully.
“We eat breakfast and dinner together. At noon, Aunt Chen made dumplings with chives and scallops. I often eat these before, so I don’t think I’ll be allergic.”
Gu Yuheng frowned involuntarily: "Is there anything else?"
"Anything else?" Su Niannian said, "Then there's only the chicken soup I had this morning, but I drink chicken soup all the time."
Grandma cooked her whole life and was known for being very clean. She would wash vegetables several times carefully. She had been eating these dishes since she was a child, so it definitely couldn't be the problem with that pot of chicken soup.
She would believe it if someone said there was something wrong with the chickens Li Xiumei brought.
But how could there be a problem with what Grandma bought?
As she pondered, her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Li Xiumei left with a chicken, and soon after, her grandmother returned with a chicken.
It would be a bit of a coincidence to say that the two are unrelated.
Even though she tried hard not to show it, Gu Yuheng was still perceptive and caught the subtle changes in her expression.
"Niannian, tell me the truth, where did that chicken come from?"
When he entered the house that evening, he heard the bodyguard say that Li Xiumei had come by that morning, but since he knew that Li Xiumei had been kicked out by Niannian and that Niannian hadn't suffered any loss, he didn't mention it.
Su Niannian leaned against the headboard: "Grandma bought it from the merchant who delivers old hens to the residents when she was taking a walk this morning."
Gu Yuheng looked at her and said, "Didn't Li Xiumei bring it?"
Su Niannian shook her head: "She did bring one, but I let her take it away. That old hen was really bought by Grandma, so it definitely has nothing to do with Li Xiumei."
Worried that Gu Yuheng would misunderstand her grandmother, she tried her best to hide the thoughts that had just been swirling in her mind.
Gu Yuheng took in all of Su Niannian's expressions.
His mind raced, and Su Niannian's childish little actions naturally couldn't escape his notice.
However, he didn't expose her. Considering things from her perspective, Gu Yuheng understood Su Niannian's protectiveness towards her grandmother who raised her from childhood, so he didn't press her for details.
He reached out and held her small hand, whispering, "The IV drip will take a while to finish. I'll watch over it for you, Niannian. Can you sleep for a bit, okay?"
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. He was heartbroken after Su Niannian had been through so much trouble.
Su Niannian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't press the matter further. She wasn't a saint, but she was worried that Gu Yuheng might harbor resentment towards her grandmother.
"good."
Gu Yuheng got up, helped her slowly to the pillow, covered her with the quilt, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt in.
The incandescent lights on the hospital ceiling emitted a cold light.
But the man under the lamplight had an incredibly gentle expression, almost melting into Su Niannian's heart.
Under his tender gaze, she gently closed her eyes.
Gu Yuheng sat on the edge of the bed, his back straight, one slender hand always holding the IV tube.
As dawn broke through the clouds and shone on the gray buildings, the nurse came in and removed the IV.
Gu Yuheng wrapped Su Niannian in his thick coat, making sure no part of her was exposed, before carrying her out of the ward.
The driver was called to the hospital by Gu Yuheng.
He was shocked to see the usually aloof man appear in public wearing pajamas.
A deep look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
President Gu is always composed and elegant, maintaining a strict dress code in any situation. But at this moment, he was wearing pajamas, oblivious to everything else, only concerned about the person in his arms.
This shows how anxious he must have been at the time.
That's why they don't even care about their own image.
Ignoring the growing crowd, Gu Yuheng carried Su Niannian into the car.
The driver closed the car door and then got into the driver's seat.
"Let's go home." Gu Yuheng held the little girl in his arms, letting her rest her head on his chest.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, then quickly looked away, looking straight ahead, and said, "Okay, Mr. Gu."
The car drove north from the hospital, heading straight for the quiet villa area.
After the car came to a complete stop in the front yard of the villa.
Gu Yuheng then carried Su Niannian out of the car.
They had just stepped into the villa.
Grandma Su walked towards them with a worried expression.
"Yuheng, how is Niannian?" Her aged voice was filled with unconcealed worry.
She got up early and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for her granddaughter, but when she saw that Aunt Chen looked a little off, Aunt Chen finally told her the truth after she pressed her for details.
Gu Yuheng looked at her thin figure, her back even more hunched than usual, and didn't want to put any more pressure on the old woman.
He lowered his voice and said, "Grandma, don't worry, Niannian just has a bit of an allergy. After the IV drip, the rash has gone down."
Grandma Su twisted her hands together, lowered her head, and when she looked up, her face was full of self-reproach.
“Yuheng, it’s all my fault. I thought it was a waste for Li Xiumei to throw the chicken away, so I picked it up again. It must have been that chicken that caused Niannian to have an allergic reaction.”
During the time her granddaughter was back, Grandma Su pondered the matter repeatedly and finally concluded that it was her own greed for cheap things that caused her granddaughter to have an allergic reaction.
Su Niannian woke up from Gu Yuheng's arms when she heard the voices.
Through her blurry vision, she saw her grandmother's remorseful expression.
“Grandma, my allergy has nothing to do with that chicken. You and Aunt Chen drank it too, and you were both fine, so the chicken must be okay.”
She glanced at Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen came over and helped the old lady up, saying, "Auntie, the young mistress is right. Besides, I drank the most, but look at me, I'm perfectly fine. There are so many factors that can cause allergies, even pollen can cause allergies."
She pulled the old lady toward the sofa.
Grandma Su knew that Su Niannian hadn't slept well all night, so she didn't dwell on it anymore and let Gu Yuheng take Su Niannian upstairs to rest.
On the other side...
After receiving Gu Yuheng's order, Ali rushed to the Su family's breakfast shop.
Because the regulatory authorities refused to allow it, and the shop could not open for business, Su Guowei could only push his tricycle to the roadside to sell breakfast.
He left home early this morning.
It was almost time for school to start.
Li Xiumei is preparing breakfast for her son, Su Zhe, in the kitchen.
Suddenly, someone knocked loudly on the door.
They practically wanted to break down the door.
"You think we have too much money and want to break the door, is that it?" She thought Su Guowei had been chased back by the urban management officers.
I put down the bowl in my hand and went to open the door.
After gripping the doorknob with both hands and pushing open the door.
He was caught off guard and startled by the fierce-looking man standing outside the door.
"What are you doing, knocking on my door so early in the morning?"
Without saying a word, Ali grabbed her sleeve and walked inside.
"Let me tell you about how you plotted to murder our young mistress."
