Chapter 55 When it comes to ruthlessness, who can compare to you?

Upon hearing Su Yan's question, Su Qing casually made up a time, "Six o'clock, I guess."

She never went out, but the timing of her departure isn't important; she could probably just make something up.

After hearing Su Yan's answer, Su Yan frowned even more. "Six o'clock? Grandpa was perfectly fine then, wasn't he?"

"So how did you come up with the idea of ​​seeking medicine?"

After asking the question, Su Yan narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Su Qing, her gaze full of scrutiny.

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, Xu Xiang immediately followed up, "Yes, my third uncle told me that Dr. Luo said personally that the old man is doing very well, and that he could easily live another three to five years."

"I didn't expect that even with Dr. Luo's help, Xiao Qing still went to ask for the medicine, and it came so promptly."

Su Yan and her husband talked back and forth, and everyone present was smart enough to understand that they suspected Su Qing.

The old man had just escaped death when he heard the couple suspecting Su Qing. He frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure crossing his eyes, but he didn't show it. Instead, he beckoned to Su Qing, "Xiao Qing, come here."

Su Qing sensed the suspicion in Su Yan and her husband's voice, but since they didn't say anything, she decided to play dumb. When she heard the old man call her, she went straight over and said, "Grandpa."

The old man reached out and took Su Qing's hand, gently patting the back of her hand. "Little Qing saved Grandpa's life. Would you like Grandpa to give you a pharmacy as a thank you gift?"

Su Qing initially wanted to refuse outright, but then she realized that she was indeed short of money and would often need large quantities of medicinal herbs in the future, so she hesitated.

Su Yan and Xu Xiang were quite displeased that no one present questioned Su Qing, even though they had made their point so clearly. When they heard that Old Master Su wanted to use the pharmacy as a thank-you gift, the couple's expressions instantly turned ugly.

Su Yan stared intently at Su Qing and the old man for a long time, her eyes flashing with coldness.

Beside her, Xu Xiang quietly approached Su Yan and whispered to her, "Ayan, I think there's something wrong with that incense."

"Find a way to get the incense from that guy surnamed Shen, and we'll take it for testing."

As soon as Xu Xiang said this, Su Yan seemed to be suddenly awakened. She snapped back to her senses and first glanced at Xu Xiang.

Xu Xiang nodded slightly to her, indicating his confirmation of his guess.

Seeing this, Su Yan's eyes grew even colder. She turned around and looked at Shen Baisu.

As soon as she looked over, she found that Shen Baisu was also looking at her, and Su Yan was slightly taken aback.

For some reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, which Su Yan attributed to her fear of Shen Baisu's identity.

She quickly composed herself and walked towards Shen Baisu. "Miss Shen, please..."

"You want incense, right? Here, take it." Before Su Yan could finish speaking, Shen Baisu handed the incense burner to her.

Su Yan was surprised that Shen Baisu would give her the incense directly, nor that Shen Baisu would guess that she wanted the incense burner. She was slightly stunned for a moment, but she quickly composed herself.

After receiving the incense burner, Su Yan seemed to smell a familiar fragrance.

She brought the incense burner directly to her nose and took a gentle sniff.

A faint fragrance lingered in the incense burner.

At first, Su Yan's expression was serious and focused, but as time went on, her eyes turned cold.

She thought, "This incense burner doesn't need to be tested."

She suddenly gripped the incense burner tightly in her hand, her hand trembling slightly from the force. Su Yan slowly turned to look at Su Qing.

"Su Qing! You're such a good actress!"

As she spoke, she picked up the incense burner and threw it directly at Su Qing.

Shen Baisu kept a close eye on her situation and caught the incense burner before it hit Su Qing.

Upon seeing this, Su Yan trembled with anger.

Unwilling to miss Su Qing, Su Yan turned cold and charged at Su Qing, raising her hand to slap her across the face.

"Snapped!"

The slap landed, but not on Su Qing's face; it landed on Su Yan's face instead.

It was Su Qing who slapped him.

Before Su Yan could touch Su Qing, Su Qing grabbed her wrist and slapped her across the face. After being hit, Su Yan fell silent, standing there blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Su, Qing." Coming to her senses, Su Yan gritted her teeth and glared at Su Qing, then lunged at her like a madwoman.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Su Qing grabbed her tightly and slapped her twice across the face.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

Su Yan didn't calm down; instead, she became even more agitated. "You dare hit me? You actually..."

"Clap!"

Two more slaps landed on Su Yan's face.

This time, Su Yan finally calmed down. She stopped looking at Su Qing and instead covered her face, looking at the old man. "Grandpa, look at Su Qing! She hit me!"

Grandpa Su snorted coldly and said, "Not only Xiao Qing, I want to hit you too. What's wrong with you for no reason?"

"If you don't throw the incense burner at Xiaoqing, will she hit you?"

As he spoke, the old man immediately turned to look at Su Qing, "Xiao Qing, you too... why did you have to take action?"

"Can't you two tolerate each other at all?"

Although the old man also scolded Su Qing, it was clear that he softened his attitude towards her.

Hearing the stark difference in his tone, Su Yan's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly turned her head away, tilting her head back slightly to keep the tears from falling.

Even if she really cried, no one would care, so she didn't want to cry.

Su Yan tilted her head back and told herself not to cry. Suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her face.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked at the person wiping away her tears.

It was Xu Xiang, gently wiping away her tears.

Looking at the person standing in front of her, Su Yan was somewhat dazed. A scene suddenly flashed through her mind, the first time she had fallen for Xu Xiang.

That day, she lost a form, and her grandfather criticized her severely.

Although she didn't cry in front of her grandfather, she secretly teared up when no one was around. So, she habitually tilted her head back to stop the tears from falling.

At the same time, she kept telling herself, "Don't cry, you lost the order, you have no right to cry."

But tears still involuntarily fell down.

Then, Xu Xiang appeared. He gave her a piece of paper and whispered to her, "If you want to cry, then cry."

Everyone has the right to cry.

At that moment, Xu Xiang was glowing.

She was thinking at the time that she had to get him by any means necessary.

Later, she did indeed win him over...

"Cry if you want to, but don't forget about the incense burner." A familiar voice rang in her ears, bringing Su Yan back to her senses. She looked at the person standing in front of her.

His eyes were as gentle as ever as he patiently wiped away her tears.

Su Yan felt a warmth in her heart, and she looked at the old man and Su Qing again.

"Grandpa is so biased towards Su Qing, but do you know how she schemed against you?"

"Your dear granddaughter, Su Qing, tampered with the incense burner!"

"Grandpa was in danger because he used that incense, and your granddaughter put on quite a show, burning incense for you while searching for medicine for you."

After Su Yan finished speaking, she immediately applauded Su Qing, "They all say you are kind-hearted, but in my opinion, you are more ruthless than anyone else. You can even be ruthless to Grandpa."

"When it comes to ruthlessness, who can compare to you, Su Qing?"
