Wen Xiyao smiled and said, “You are so polite to me.”
Shen Qinglan nodded her head politely, “Yes, maybe you will be my sister-in-law in the future, and I really don’t need to be too polite with you.”
After saying that, she looked out of the corner of her eye. Observing Wen Xiyao’s expression, these words were also full of temptation. Recently, Chu Yunrong had been talking about Wen Xiyao’s good qualities in her ears. Shen Qinglan also disliked Shen Junyu for being an older man at thirty years old. As a thirty year virgin, it would be great if Wen Xiyao liked her eldest brother.
Wen Xiyao shook her head helplessly, “Even you are making fun of me. Your brother and I just have an ordinary cooperative relationship.”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking, Shen Qinglan felt a little regretful and shrugged, “Okay, pretend I didn’t say anything.” Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, “If my mother’s behaviour causes trouble to you, I can go and talk to her for you.”
“That’s not necessary. Auntie is a nice person, and it would be nice to have a meal together once in a while.”
Since everyone didn’t mind, Shen Qinglan naturally won’t say anything more. Just at this moment, Chu Yunrong came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, “Qinglan, come over and eat noodles.”
It was very simple tomato and egg noodles, with a few green vegetables on top, then Chu Yunrong said dryly, “Mom doesn’t know much about cooking, she only knows how to cook this. You need to take care of your stomach first, and I’ll ask Sister Song to make delicious food for you when you get back in the evening.”
Whether before or after marriage, Chu Yunrong’s living conditions were very generous, and there was no need for her to cook at all. The only thing she could cook was tomato and egg noodles, which she learned for Shen Qian when she was young. Speaking of Shen Qinglan and Chu Yunrong, the only similarity was probably their cooking skills. Neither of them was good at cooking.
Chu Yunrong looked at Shen Qinglan nervously. She hadn’t cooked for many years, and she didn’t know how these noodles would taste. It was the first time she cooked food for her daughter. It would be embarrassing if it didn’t taste good.
Shen Qinglan took a bite and found that the taste was average. There was too much salt and it was a bit salty. “It tastes good, thank you, Mom.”
Chu Yunrong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly, “You can eat more if you like.”
Shen Qinglan started eating the noodles calmly.
“Xiyao, there are some noodles in the kitchen, do you want some more?” Chu Yunrong asked Wen Xiyao. Although she and Wen Xiyao had come here just after lunch, Wen Xiyao had eaten less at noon, so there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t be hungry.
Wen Xiyao shook her head, “Auntie, I just had lunch with you, and I’m not hungry now.”
Shen Qinglan finished the whole bowl of noodles without changing her expression, “Do you still want to eat? Mom will give you some more?”
“I…I’m full, thank you mom.” Shen Qinglan refused. She just wanted to drink water now. She picked up the bowl and refused Chu Yunrong’s request to wash the dishes. The first thing Shen Qinglan did when she entered the kitchen was to pick up the tea cup and drink two cups of water.
“Qinglan, you come back home with mother. You’re sick. I’m worried about you living here alone.” After Wen Xiyao left, Chu Yunrong looked at Shen Qinglan and said.
Shen Qinglan shook her head, “Mom, no need. Fu Hengyi will be back in the evening. He has two days off.”
“Hengyi is coming back?”
Shen Qinglan nodded. This was what Fu Hengyi called her to tell her in the morning.
Chu Yunrong felt relieved and gave Shen Qinglan a few more words of advice before going home. Shen Qinglan was sitting on the sofa with a helpless expression. She was really not used to Chu Yunrong’s caring attitude towards her now. She even went out of her way to speak on the phone with Dr. Zhou, Chu Yunrong’s psychiatrist. Dr. Zhou explained that Chu Yunrong had been hypnotized many times before and thought Li Xitong was her daughter, which resulted in the current empathy. Now she was gradually waking up. This was normal. To put it bluntly, this was the love Chu Yunrong was supposed to have for her, and she just had to accept it.
Fu Hengyi arrived home early. When he arrived, Shen Qinglan was preparing to paint. She had probably just picked up the pencil, but Shen Qinglan’s drawing board was still blank. “What are you drawing?” Fu Hengyi asked softly.
Shen Qinglan was very happy when she saw it was him. She put down the brush in her hand and stood up, “You came back early?”
“Yes.” Fu Hengyi took a look at her face first and found that she looked good, and was slightly relieved, “Chinese medicine, have you been taking it on time?”
“I have eaten. I am going to have to prepare medicine tomorrow.”
Fu Hengyi naturally knew that they had to prepare medicine tomorrow. He just calculated the date and came back. He touched Shen Qinglan’s hand and found that it was still cold, so he frowned and said, “Let Dr. Zhong give you a different prescription tomorrow.” Even after taking the medicine for so long, it still didn’t work. Fu Hengyi almost doubted the effectiveness of this medicine.
“How can it be so fast? Chinese medicine is inherently slow to take effect. Let’s not talk about it for now. Since you came back early, let’s go back to the compound to have dinner with grandpa in the evening.” Shen Qinglan suggested.
Fu Hengyi naturally had no objection. He went into the room and changed clothes before taking Shen Qinglan back. Aunt Zhao was the only one at home, and Mr. Fu had gone out to have tea with an old friend.
At ten minutes after dinner, Mr. Fu stepped into the house and saw his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. He was very happy and drank two more drinks in the evening. Unexpectedly, something happened.
When Fu Hengyi was going to sleep at midnight, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, followed by a scream from Mr. Fu. He suddenly opened his eyes, jumped out of bed, opened the door to the room and rushed out.
He saw Mr. Fu lying on the floor on the first floor unaware of everything. There was blood on the floor constantly flowing out from Mr. Fu’s head. Fu Hengyi’s expression changed, “Grandpa.”
Shen Qinglan also got up and followed Fu Hengyi out, seeing the old man’s appearance, her expression changed, and she quickly called the emergency services first thing as soon as she returned to the room.
Such a movement naturally woke up Aunt Zhao, and the family was in a panic. The 120 ambulance drove into the military compound in the middle of the night. Such a big movement naturally could not be hidden from others. Before dawn the next day, the news that Mr. Fu was hospitalized spread throughout the military region.
When Mr. Shen heard the news and asked Shen Junyu to take him to the hospital, Mr. Fu was still in the emergency room and had not come out. Fu Hengyi was leaning against the wall of the hospital, and Shen Qinglan was accompanying him.
“How is the situation?” Mr. Shen asked Fu Hengyi.
Fu Hengyi’s expression was dark and unclear, while his voice was low, “We don’t know yet, the doctors are still rescuing him.”
“What the hell is going on? Why did he come to the hospital after everything was fine?”
“Grandpa drank two more glasses of wine last night. When he got up at night, he accidentally fell down the stairs on the second floor.” Shen Qinglan whispered, feeling very depressed. Although the person lying inside was not her biological grandfather, he was an old man who loved her very much. He was still the grandfather of the man she loved, so she was very much worried about Fu Hengyi.
Mr. Shen’s expression immediately changed. Falling down the stairs on the second floor could cause problems even for young people, let alone an old man in his eighties like Mr. Fu. The look in Mr. Shen’s eyes as he looked towards the surgery door was full of worry.
Shen Junyu didn’t know how to comfort Fu Hengyi, so he didn’t speak. Chu Yunrong also remained silent. It wasn’t until nine o’clock in the morning that the operation theather door was opened. When he saw the doctor coming out, Fu Hengyi immediately walked up.
“Doctor, how is my grandfather doing?”
“The old man’s right hand is fractured, and there are only some scratches elsewhere. But the trouble is that he hit his head, causing a lot of bleeding. If he cannot wake up in time, you family members must be mentally prepared.”
The meaning of this sentence, everyone present knew it well. Fu Hengyi’s face immediately became transparent, and he looked at the doctor with a gloomy look. The doctor also knew that the person lying inside was an old man s worthy of respect, but they had really tried their best, and the rest was up to fate.
“Young Marshal Fu, we are also very sorry about this, but we have really tried our best.” This was the best military hospital in Beijing, and the person who operated on Mr. Fu was also a nationally renowned expert. No matter what Fu Hengyi thought in his heart, he still did not embarrass the doctor and remained silent.
It was Shen Qinglan who stepped forward and thanked the doctor. As for the hospitalization procedures, it was Shen Junyu who handled the hospitalization procedures. Mr. Fu was sent to the ICU. As long as he could regain consciousness within 24 hours, there would be no problem.
“Fu Hengyi, give aunt a call.” After a long time, Shen Qinglan said to Fu Hengyi. Fu Hengyi stood outside the ICU, looking at the old man with a ventilator on his body. After a long time, he said slowly, “Okay.”
He called the army again and asked Gu Yang and Gu Kai to come back. He also informed Gu Bowen while Fu Jingting was the last one to arrive.
Fu Jingting never thought that she would see her father again under such circumstances. She always thought that there was still a lot of time for her and her father, but now someone told her that maybe this was the last time she would see her father.
“How on earth did you take care of grandpa, and why did you let him fall down the stairs?” Fu Jingting asked Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan in a cold voice, or to be precise, Shen Qinglan. After all, Shen Qinglan was the one who was always at home, right?
“Jingting, calm down, this is not Qinglan’s fault.” Gu Bowen pulled Fu Jingting and advised.
Fu Jingting glanced at Gu Bowen coldly, “Of course you are not in a hurry, the person lying inside is not your father!” She turned to look at Shen Qinglan, “Qinglan, my father usually treats you as his own granddaughter. He is even more affectionate to you than Hengyi. You knew that your grandpa is old and couldn’t drink, so why didn’t you stop him?”
Shen Qinglan lowered her head, “I’m sorry.” She was indeed at fault in this matter.
