Chapter 47 Old Master Su is on the verge of death

Su Qing was busy suppressing her sudden emotions and didn't have time to react. Before she could react, someone grabbed the woman's hand first.

"Just talk, why are you touching me like that?" Shen Baisu grabbed the woman's wrist and pushed her back, making her stay away from Su Qing.

Shen Baisu was very strong; she only gave the woman a light push, and the woman staggered back several steps.

Once the woman had regained her footing, she glared angrily at Shen Baisu. "Where did this little bitch come from? What business is it of yours, an outsider, if I'm disciplining my own niece?"

Upon hearing the woman's address to Shen Baisu, Su Qing frowned immediately. "Aunt, watch your words."

"Don't forget, you're an outsider in the Su family too."

If this woman hadn't been an elder of the original owner, Su Qing would have slapped her long ago.

What kind of person is this, daring to insult the junior sister!
Unaware of Su Qing's thoughts, the woman was stunned for a couple of seconds after hearing Su Qing's words, "You...what did you say? An outsider?!"

The woman raised her voice instantly at the mention of the word "outsider".

"Fine, fine. When your uncle and I worked so hard to send your mother to school, we weren't outsiders. Now that your mother is dead, we've become outsiders, haven't we?"

"Do you think your mother could have gotten into university, met your father, or married into a wealthy family like the Su family without me and your uncle? I think you've had your fill of a good life and are starting to forget your kindness, aren't you?"

As the woman was angrily berating Su Qing, someone suddenly walked up behind her and said, "Is this a place where you can make such a scene?"

The person who arrived was Su Yan, and her words immediately silenced the woman.

It was clear that the woman was quite afraid of Su Yan. As soon as Su Yan appeared, the woman not only fell silent, but also quickly moved several steps to the side.

Upon seeing this, Su Yan immediately turned her gaze to Su Qing. After looking Su Qing up and down, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

After a moment, Su Yan said coldly to Su Qing, "You still know how to come back? As soon as you get back, you start arguing and making a scene with your aunt. What kind of behavior is that?"

After scolding Su Qing, Su Yan didn't wait for her to speak and said directly, "Go in quickly, Grandpa wants to see you."

Su Qing wanted to retort, but when she heard that the old man wanted to see her, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and slipped into the room.

Shen Baisu was hesitating whether to follow when Su Yan suddenly moved aside, blocking the way to enter. "Excuse me, Miss Shen, the atmosphere inside is not suitable for you. Would you like to sit in the reception room?"

This is the Su family home, and Shen Baisu naturally knows that she is not suitable to go in. It was precisely because of this that she did not follow Su Qing earlier.

Now that Su Yan, the hostess, has spoken, she can no longer go in. So she said to Su Yan, "No need, I'll wait for her here."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's expression flickered slightly. She put on a seemingly kind and polite fake smile and tentatively asked, "Miss Shen and Xiao Qing seem to have a very good relationship?"

Shen Baisu returned the smile with a forced smile, "It's alright."

Listening to Shen Baisu's ambiguous words, Su Yan couldn't judge how deep the friendship between Su Qing and Shen Baisu really was.

However, she had never heard Su Qing mention that she knew Shen Baisu before, so she must have met him recently.

It's very likely that they met on the day Su Qing ran into Shen Bai's hospital room.

Considering the time frame, it wasn't too long, so there probably wasn't a very deep bond between them, right?

**
In the room, Su Qing walked to the bedside under everyone's gaze. Lying on the bed was the dying Old Master Su.

"Master, the second young lady is back. She's come to see you." Butler Su took the old man's hand and called out softly to him.

However, there was no response.

Grandpa Su was still panting, but he could no longer open his eyes. Apart from his chest rising and falling, no part of his body was moving.

"grandfather?"

Looking at the person lying on the bed, barely breathing, Su Qing tentatively called out softly.

The moment Su Qing uttered the word "Grandpa," her throat went incredibly dry, and without warning, tears streamed down her face. The overwhelming emotions she had managed to suppress surged up again, and instinctively, Su Qing knelt down beside the bed and grasped the old man's hand, saying, "Grandpa."

This time, Su Qing's voice became choked with emotion.

"Old Master, open your eyes and look! The Second Miss is back. She's come to see you." As the old butler spoke, he covered his face and began to sob softly.

The room was already filled with a somber mood, but when the old housekeeper and Su Qing cried, everyone's eyes reddened, and some even began to sob softly.

When Su Yan noticed the situation in the room again, many people in the room were already crying. She thought the old man had passed away, and her expression changed instantly. She turned around and rushed to the bed.

"Grandpa! Grandpa...he..."

She wanted to ask if the old man had passed away, but whether it was because she was too choked up or because she didn't want to mention those two words, she couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

Su Yan moved quickly, weaving through the crowd to the bedside. She pounced on the bed, grabbed the old man's arms, and began shaking him, crying, "Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up!"

"Wake up, don't... don't leave us."

"do not go!"

Su Yan called out loudly while shaking the old man.

Then, the person on the bed moved, not by being shaken, but by moving on their own.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

A cough escaped from the old man's mouth, and then his eyelashes trembled as he slowly opened his eyes.

"He's awake! The old man is awake!" The old butler was both happy and sad as he looked at the awakened old man.

The good news is that the old man finally woke up.

Tragically, this was likely the last time the old man opened his eyes.

The old man has been lying in bed for more than a week. During this time, he has been in a daze, rarely waking up, and mostly in a coma.

During his lucid moments, he kept thinking of Su Qing.

The old butler knew that he was obsessed with seeing Su Qing, which was why he lingered on his last breath, unwilling to leave. But now, he had seen her.

Once you've seen the person, your obsession should be over, and you should leave soon.

The thought that the old man would soon pass away overwhelmed the old housekeeper with grief, and he began to weep silently again.

"Little...little love, little love."

On the bed, the old man breathed heavily and softly called out to Su Qing.

"I'm here, Grandpa, I'm here." Su Qing held the old man's hand tightly, channeling wood spiritual energy into his body to maintain his life while replying to the old man's words.

She was able to be reborn by taking over the original owner's body.

She couldn't save the original owner's life, but she was determined to save the original owner's grandfather's life.

"You're back? It's good that you're back." The old man said, a peaceful smile appearing on his face.

Seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Often, when a dying person shows such a smile, it means they are about to pass away.

So, is the old man going to leave?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, someone in the room began to sob softly.

"Yes, I'm back, I'm back." Su Qing said to the old man while continuing to channel wood spiritual energy into his body.
