Chapter 48 A Last Glimmer of Light Before Death, and Another Glimmer of Light Before Death
Su Qing is currently only at the Qi Refining stage, and her spiritual energy is pitifully small. In just a short while, she has already used up most of it.

Because more than half of her spiritual energy had been depleted, she felt unwell. At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face grew increasingly pale.

However, apart from Shen Baisu, no one noticed her situation. Everyone was staring intently at Old Master Su, fearing that his words just now might be his last words in this world.

After smiling peacefully at Su Qing, Old Master Su glanced around at everyone by the bedside. Finally, he focused his gaze on Su Qing and Su Yan, staring intently at them, his eyes filled with reluctance and affection.

Grandpa Su wasn't unaware of the changes in his body; he felt his body gradually becoming lighter and his spirits rising, but he didn't think he was getting better.

He had heard that people sometimes experience a brief moment of lucidity before death, and he figured that what he was experiencing now was that moment.

So he stared at the Su sisters again and again, because he knew that every glance would be one less.

However, he stared at the two sisters for a long time, and they did not stop breathing. On the contrary, he became more and more energetic.

Could it be that this final burst of energy before death has only just begun?
This idea brought the old man a bit of joy, as it meant he could talk to his granddaughter a little more.

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, the old man took Su Qing and Su Yan's hands.

He placed their hands together. "Xiaoyan, Xiaoqing, Grandpa probably won't live much longer. From now on, only the two of you will be left in this world. You share the same blood and are the closest people to each other in this world. So, stop fighting and make up, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Su Qing's spiritual energy was almost exhausted. After confirming that the old man would not die for the time being, Su Qing stopped.

Hearing the old man's words, she didn't respond. Instead, she silently withdrew her hand and separated it from Su Yan's.

Noticing her movement, the old man paused for a moment, and Su Yan was also taken aback. She turned her head to look at Su Qing, her brows furrowing slightly.

Su Qing placed her palm on the old man's wrist and, when no one was watching, secretly began to check his pulse.

On the surface, Su Qing looked at the old man and gently comforted him, "Grandpa, you'll be alright. Can we rest now?"

When the old man saw that one of the sisters didn't respond to him and the other changed the subject, he felt a pang of heartache.

"I know my own body better than anyone. Grandpa is really going to leave us." The old man said this to Su Qing.

"Before I leave, Grandpa wants to see you two shake hands and make peace, and wants to hear you say a word of reconciliation. Is that not allowed?" These were the words the old man said to the two sisters.

As he spoke, the old man first looked at Su Yan and tentatively asked, "Xiao Yan?"

Su Yan had been staring at Su Qing, but when the old man asked her a question, she lowered her eyes again and remained silent.

Seeing this, Old Master Su's expression darkened slightly. He turned to look at Su Qing, his eyes filled with expectation, "Little Qing?"

Su Qing met his gaze, but she did not agree to his request. Instead, she replied with something similar to what she had said before, "Grandpa, you won't die. I won't let you die."

Hearing the same words as before, the old man's expression darkened completely, and his eyes were filled with an unyielding sorrow.

"Fine, fine, you won't agree to my request. You want me to die with my eyes open, don't you?"

"If I had known that you two would fight like this over control of the family, I should have just donated all of the Su family's assets back then."

“You are sisters, sisters, sisters who were once so close.”

"Is this power to control the family so captivating that you're willing to fight your own sisters to the death to seize it?"

"You two still haven't reconciled, huh? Fine, I'll go donate all of the Su family's assets right now!"

"Butler Su, get me a lawyer. I want to amend my will, right now!"

The old man became more and more agitated as he spoke, and towards the end, he got angry and suddenly sat up in bed.

Seeing this, no one paid attention to why he had suddenly sat up; their focus was entirely on what Old Master Su was saying.

Donate your wealth? That won't do!

If they really donate their property, wouldn't they end up with nothing?
"Butler Su, the old man is delirious with anger, please don't go." "Old man, don't be impulsive."

"You've spent fifty years building up the Su family pharmacy to its current size. You can't let decades of Su family business be destroyed because of a moment of impulsiveness."

……

Almost everyone was advising the old man not to act impulsively and trying to get him to take back his donation, including Su Yan.

"Grandpa, don't say such hurtful things, lie down quickly." Su Yan said, supporting the old man's arm to help him lie down.

The old man didn't lie down. He held Su Yan's hand tightly and looked at her intently. "Tell me, do you want to reconcile with Xiao Qing? Tell me."

"If you don't agree, you won't inherit a single penny of the Su family's property today."

"I will donate my share, which is owed to you, to charity."

Su Yan's body trembled violently. She looked at Old Master Su in disbelief, "Grandpa? You..."

The old man interrupted her sharply, "I don't want to hear anything else, you just need to answer my questions."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan fell silent.

"Xiaoyan, hurry up and say yes to your grandpa."

"Yes, the old man just wants to hear one thing he wants to hear before he passes away, so please grant his wish."

"To leave one's elders with unfulfilled grief is a grave act of filial impiety."

……

While Su Yan was still hesitating, a cacophony of voices began to urge her on.

Hearing these noisy voices, Su Yan was filled with impatience, but in the end, she nodded under the old man's gaze, "I promise you."

Upon seeing this, the old man's eyes instantly lit up with joy. He turned his head to look at Su Qing, and asked expectantly, "Little Qing?"

Under his gaze, Su Qing smiled faintly, and then asked the old man, "Knowing that it's not the truth, why are you so insistent on hearing it, Grandpa?"

Reconciliation means letting go and forgiving.

The original owner is already dead, so why should she speak out about letting go and forgiving on her behalf?

She didn't want to! Even if the original owner had never resented Su Yan, she didn't want to say those words to Su Yan, because Su Yan didn't deserve it.

As soon as Su Qing spoke, the expectation in the old man's eyes vanished. "Of course I know, I know it's not sincere, but I wanted to hear it. I wanted to hear you say 'reconciliation' yourselves, to deceive myself."

Even so, you still won't agree?

"Even if I donate the share of my property, wouldn't you be willing to tell Grandpa a lie?"

As the old man spoke, he continued to stare intently at Su Qing, while everyone else waited for Su Qing to speak.

This time, they didn't try to persuade Su Qing again.

Su Yan is strong-willed and never easily admits defeat, nor is she willing to be forced to do things she doesn't want to do, but she still agreed to the old man's request.

Su Qing is gentle and kind-hearted, and she is also very filial to her grandfather. She is also very soft-hearted.

Currently, there is also the threat of having to donate assets.

Even Su Yan has admitted defeat, so Su Qing certainly won't refuse either.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Qing spoke up, saying calmly, "Grandpa, you won't die."
