Chapter 549 Zhou Qiao's Phone Call
Quietly, she lifted his chin and leaned closer to him: "What's wrong? Are you scared? Where did your courage go?"
"No..." Yan Su's voice was somewhat muffled.
"Yan Su, I like you." The quiet voice softened a bit: "I said I wanted to marry you, not on a whim, not out of guilt or gratitude, but because I like you, because I love you, because I've decided that you're the one for me in this life."
"As long as your heart is like mine, my love for you will not be in vain. Do you understand what I mean?"
She is calm and decisive; since she has forgiven him from the bottom of her heart, she won't drag things out.
She wanted to put a stamp on their relationship, so that neither of them would feel uneasy or hesitant in it.
Yan Su was silent for a moment, then looked up, his eyes reddening: "Okay, I understand. Let's get our marriage certificate after I'm discharged from the hospital."
Quietly nodded: "Okay."
Yan Su smiled slightly: "For the rest of my life, please guide me, Miss An."
"Tsk, you two have had enough." Murong Ting couldn't help but say, "You two really think we don't exist?"
Anjing waved her hand: "From now on, this will be your uncle-in-law."
Yan Su pointed to An Jing and said to Kong Wange, "This is your sister-in-law."
The two said in unison, "Show respect to your elders. Don't look at things that are improper, understand?"
Murong Ting and Kong Wange: "..."
How can these relationships be so complicated?
Anjing suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how's the film crew? Is Yueyue alright?"
"Everything is fine. The crew was lucky. They were filming when the earthquake struck, and the surrounding area was open and spacious. Only two cameramen were hit by equipment, but they only suffered minor injuries. Filming has resumed in the last few days."
"That's good. What about the rest of the village?" Anjing asked again.
Kong Wange stepped forward: "The news said that many people were injured, but none of them are in life-threatening condition. They have been sent to the hospital for treatment."
As she spoke, she handed Yan Su a business card: "This is a doctor I know. He is very famous in bone rehabilitation. You can ask him to do your rehabilitation training. In addition, I can also prescribe some Chinese medicine for you."
Yan Su took the business card and muttered, "Is this really necessary?"
Before he could finish speaking, Anjing grabbed his ear and said, "What did you say? I'm telling you, you need to actively cooperate with the treatment and stop thinking about living off a woman!"
Yan Su immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I know, I'm still a patient, please be gentle, domestic violence is illegal!"
Kong Wange: "..."
Is this a public display of affection right in front of her?
Murong Ting absolutely couldn't be outdone by Yan Su in this regard, so he took a few steps forward and pulled Kong Wange into his arms, saying, "Alright, Wanwan, let's not be third wheels here. Let's go and let them enjoy their time together."
"That's right, you two go ahead and get busy. You don't need to watch over us. The hospital has caregivers, so remember to pay the caregiver's fee, nephew."
"I must have owed the An family something in my past life." Murong Ting put his arm around Kong Wange as they left the ward.
...
As she left the hospital, Kong Wange sighed, "Every cloud has a silver lining. I never expected that my brother and Jingjing could get back together."
"But the price is a bit too high. Is your brother's leg really beyond saving?" Murong Ting looked at Kong Wange.
“His situation is a bit different from my uncle’s. We can only say we’ll do our best, but the hope is quite slim,” Kong Wange said with a sigh.
“I think your brother is quite open-minded, so don’t overthink it,” Murong Ting quickly changed the subject when he saw that Kong Wange’s mood had dropped again: “Wanwan, Wen Luoyun contacted me today.”
Kong Wange's attention was indeed drawn: "What did she say?"
"She said she had convinced Wen Zhengning to sell Changqing Pills throughout the Wen family business and reminded me that I could supply her with the products."
A slight smile finally appeared on Kong Wange's face: "She's quick."
“Wen Luoyun is now obsessed with controlling the Wen family’s finances. In my opinion, she’s already getting impatient for Wen Zhengning’s current position,” Murong Ting said sarcastically.
“Okay, then you can send the goods to her. It won’t be long before I make her cry so hard she won’t be able to cry anymore.” Kong Wange smiled confidently.
"Okay." Murong Ting opened the car door: "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"No need, I'll take a taxi myself. We need to be more cautious, especially during critical times. We've been seen together quite often lately."
"Fine then." Murong Ting got into the car with a disappointed look on his face.
Kong Wange then took a taxi to the clinic.
In the following days, Kong Wange continued to play the role of a strong woman who was disappointed.
On the surface, he appeared worried and busy running around because of orders, but in reality, he had arranged to chat and enjoy tea with many business partners.
Yan Su was also discharged from the hospital and moved into a rehabilitation and physiotherapy center. An Jing accompanied him every day to do leg rehabilitation.
Occasionally, Kong Wange and Murong Ting would visit them.
These leisurely days were shattered by a sudden phone call from Zhou Qiao.
Since their parting at Yudaoyuan, Zhou Qiao would occasionally chat with her on WeChat, but this was the first time they had talked on the phone.
So when she saw the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, when the call was answered, a slightly urgent voice came from the other end: "Sister Wange, my grandfather is dying. If you have time, please come over. He's been talking about it these past few days, wanting to eat your cooking one more time."
Is Zhou Sihai no longer capable?
Kong Wange hung up the phone and went straight to Yudaoyuan.
Although she could tell from the first meeting that Zhou Sihai, as a poison master, was suffering from a backlash from the poison and was also poisoned with a very strong one, and his life was nearing its end, she still didn't expect this day to come so soon.
She sighed, feeling a pang of regret. She had been so busy that she hadn't had a chance to visit the old man.
The old man loved the fish she cooked the most.
She still remembers how the old man used his connections to let her access the books in the library.
That old man was clearly very cute, it's a pity...
"Miss, we've arrived," the driver said from the front.
Kong Wange suddenly came to her senses and found that the car had already stopped at the main gate of Yudaoyuan.
She thanked him, got out of the car, entered the Imperial Way Institute, and walked all the way to the Hundred Herbs Hall.
As it turned out, the scene inside Baicaotang was completely different from the bleak and miserable atmosphere she had imagined.
Zhou Sihai was sitting in a rocking chair, fanning himself and directing Zhou Qiao as she picked vegetables in the garden: "Hey, those bok choy over there are too old, the ones on the right are tender. Yes, yes, the spinach should have small leaves, the big ones won't absorb the flavor well. And don't pick such big pumpkins, they're old and hard to cut..."
As Zhou Qiao picked the fruit, she complained, "Grandpa, you're so picky. Why don't you pick them yourself?"
"You silly girl, this might be your grandfather's last meal. Can't you even make a request?"
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips and remained silent.
If Zhou Qiao was initially devastated and heartbroken when she first learned that the old man's time was up, she has now accepted reality.
She knew that her grandfather was an open-minded person who couldn't bear to see such joys and sorrows, so she simply pretended that nothing was wrong and tried her best not to show her sadness.
