What, she knows about the will?
The mood in the room now grew even more somber.
Su Tingyan stood up, looking at the trembling Su Shengguo with anger.
"Dad, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You saw it yourself last night; the battle was fierce. It seems your son-in-law has quite the stamina. Looking at my belly, there might already be your darling grandchild in here. Wait for my good news."
Su Shengguo hurled a teacup at her.
Su Tingyan, as if having anticipated it, deftly dodged and with a wave of her hand, she pulled up her loose and tattered clothes that were on the verge of falling off and strutted out with big swings of her arms.
"I... How could the Su Family have such a scourge..."
Su Shengguo slumped down into his chair, fuming with rage.
People around him wanted to say that it was because of his own influence that she dared to act so indecently and openly.
Starting tomorrow, the Su Family indeed no longer needed to find her another place.
With today's spectacle, Su Tingyan's "reputation" would probably reach new heights after the Cheng Family spread the word.
…
Outside, Zhou Ding, having witnessed the entire drama, stood behind sweating with embarrassment, "This Miss Su really is..."
Shameless.
However, before he could articulate his thoughts, he caught the drifting gaze of the person in front of him.
Zhou Ding hastily closed his mouth.
He didn't understand how their distinguished and stunning master could be seen as…
That sort of person.
However, Lin Xu didn't seem particularly angry.
"Check where she went," Lin Xu ordered from behind.
"She's gone to the hospital, sir. Miss Su's mother is still in the ICU ward of the hospital," the attendant replied.
"Which one?"
"Where else could it be? All of Su Qi Medical's hospitals have been suspended due to medical accidents. They went to a hospital under Lin Yu's management."
Lin Xu's mind echoed with that shadow.
A son-in-law moving in? On one hand, he had secured for himself the role of a son-in-law moving in with the family, and on the other hand, he had completely dissuaded the Su Family from arranging any more matchmaking for her. Was Su Tingyan playing a game of killing two birds with one stone?
He spoke indifferently, "Have someone keep an eye on her."
"Yes, sir," came the reply.
Unable to fathom Lin Xu's thoughts, Zhou Ding could only agree from behind.
One would think their master wouldn't be easily fooled by such a young lady.
…
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was particularly pungent, especially in the ICU ward.
She looked at her mother, full of tubes and as withered as a corpse.
She had been proud all her life, worrying about herself.
But now…
"Mom, it's my fault, I'm the one who angered you."
"I never really hated you, even though you sent me to the mountains and I didn't see you, I always missed you in my heart."
"Mom, please get better soon. Right after you fell ill, they wanted to clean out my room to give to that mistress's daughter."
"The servants at home are all saying you might not wake up, and they've all turned to support that unfaithful scoundrel."
"They're trying to swindle all of Su Qi's assets."
"Don't worry, the wealth you brought and the medical skill you used to expand Su Qi's influence, that's what allowed that unfaithful scoundrel to be where he is today. Whatever you brought with you, I will take it with me when you go, even if I have to destroy it… Not a single penny will be left to them."
Her hand clenched the thin, frail fingers that felt like skin and bones.
Only when she heard a noise outside did she stand up.
"Tingyan."
Lin Jingzhen looked at the emerging Su Tingyan, "I heard you're still stubbornly refusing to let them stop treatment for Auntie. You're not medically trained; you don't know that Auntie simply won't wake up anymore."
The slight touch of tenderness that had just appeared in Su Tingyan's eyes was already swept away.
