Chapter 71 Sorry, I tried my best
"At a time like this, let's not talk about love anymore. Let's worry about your grandfather's safety."

The corridor was quite quiet until the Second Madam spoke, and everyone present heard her. Instinctively, everyone looked at Yu Lan and Shen Baisu.

Yu Zhenbang frowned and glanced at Yu Lan, then asked in a deep voice, "Are you two dating?"

Yu Zhenbang knew that Yu Lan and Shen Baisu had a good relationship.

Then I remembered that the old man had arranged a marriage for Yu Lan, but Yu Lan absolutely refused to agree.

Therefore, after hearing what the second wife said, Yu Zhenbang truly believed that the two were in love.

Three years ago, Yu Zhenbang would have had absolutely no objection to the two dating, and would have even wholeheartedly supported it.

But right now, he doesn't really want Shen Baisu as his daughter-in-law.

Unaware of Yu Zhenbang's thoughts, Yu Lan's brow twitched upon hearing his question. He quickly waved his hand, his palm leaving an afterimage, "No, nothing."

Shen Baisu is his sister now, how could he dare to date her?
The second wife didn't quite believe Yu Lan's denial. She said directly, "You didn't talk? Then why were you so close to Xiao Su? What, will being close to her save your grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, an idea flashed through Yu Lan's mind. He blinked and suddenly looked at Shen Baisu, asking, "Sister Su, can you save my grandfather?"

He knew that Su Qing was an alchemist and that her family owned a medicinal herb shop, so he subconsciously thought that only Su Qing could save his grandfather.

But he seems to have overlooked one thing: even if cultivators don't learn medicine, saving an ordinary person shouldn't be too difficult for them.

So, could Sister Su possibly wake up his grandfather?

Because he was anxious, Yu Lan didn't lower his voice this time, so everyone present heard his question to Shen Baisu.

Everyone thought Yu Lan was desperate and had gone mad, and that she was talking nonsense.

The second wife scoffed, saying, "Xiao Lan, have you lost your mind?"

"How could Xiao Su possibly save your grandfather?"

"I remember Xiao Su studied veterinary medicine, right? What do you take your grandfather for? This is utter nonsense."

The Yu family all knew that Shen Baisu was studying veterinary medicine.

Shen Baisu had excellent grades and was the top science student that year.

When the results came out, Shen Mao and his mother were overjoyed. After learning about Shen Baisu's grades, Shen Mao had already made arrangements for her future. He wanted her to study finance at Imperial University and then work for Shen's company after graduation.

The old lady even intended to hand Shen Shi over to Shen Baisu.

To everyone's surprise, when filling out her college application, Shen Baisu didn't apply to Imperial Capital University, or even the Finance Department. Instead, she applied to Yaocheng Agricultural University and studied Veterinary Medicine.

The day the notice was delivered to the Shen family, Shen Mao was furious. He chased Shen Baisu all day with a stick, saying he was going to break her legs.

In the end, it was the old lady who stepped in to protect Shen Baisu, and she escaped a disaster.

Because the matter caused such a big commotion, the neighbors all knew about it.

The second wife's tone was not good, but this time, no one refuted her. Yu Zhenbang even frowned and looked at Yu Lan, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you're really worried about your grandfather, then just wait patiently and stop talking nonsense."

Yu Lan moved her lips, wanting to speak in defense, but the First Madam grabbed her arm.

She pulled Yu Lan aside and whispered, "Don't say anything, just wait quietly."

After saying this, the First Madam released Yu Lan, put her hands together, and began to silently bow upwards.

She wasn't a believer in gods or Buddhas, but at this moment, she had no other choice but to pray. She hoped the old man wouldn't get into trouble; otherwise, it would truly prove the second madam right.

The old man was so angry with Yu Lan that he fainted. If the old man really passed away today, Yu Lan would probably be cursed by the Yu family for the rest of her life.

Yu Lan herself may not be able to get over her guilt.

Therefore, whether considering the old man's safety or Yu Lan's, the First Madam did not want anything to happen to the old man.

After being stopped by the First Madam, Yu Lan glanced at Shen Baisu.

Shen Baisu shook her head at him, then leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Lan became somewhat anxious, but she didn't say anything more. She just kept glancing at the door of the emergency room and then at the other side of the corridor.

However, as time passed, Su Qing did not appear, and the door to the emergency room remained closed.

Suddenly, Shen Baisu, who was leaning against the wall, opened her eyes.

"Can't wait any longer."

The corridor was quiet; apart from the faint sound of footsteps, no one spoke. Shen Baisu suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

Yu Lan asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Sister Su? Is Grandpa not doing well?"

Upon hearing this, the second wife instinctively retorted, "Why are you asking about Xiao Su? It's as if she, someone who came later, knows about the old man's situation."

Shen Baisu ignored the second wife and asked Yu Zhenbang, "Uncle Yu, do you believe me?"

Yu Zhenbang looked at Shen Baisu with a puzzled expression.

Shen Baisu: "Grandpa Yu's condition can't be delayed any longer. I have a pill here that can save Grandpa Yu's life. If you trust me, have the doctor give it to Grandpa Yu immediately. If you don't trust me, Grandpa Yu may not be able to leave this emergency room."

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's words, everyone present changed their expressions.

The second wife, who never kept her mouth shut, immediately exploded, "Xiao Su, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Isn't the old man being treated inside? The doctor hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already spreading alarmist rumors."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but is this the time for you to act recklessly?"

Shen Baisu ignored the second wife and simply looked at Yu Zhenbang quietly.

Yu Zhenbang didn't believe Shen Baisu, but since she wasn't his own child, he couldn't directly scold her. He could only say earnestly, "Xiaosu, it's not that Uncle Yu doesn't believe you, but... my father is lying inside. Even the doctors might not be able to do anything. How... how can you expect me to believe you?"

As soon as Yu Zhenbang finished speaking, the First Madam chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Su, Aunt Yu believes you care about your Grandpa Yu, and we also believe you've always been a good child, but this situation can't be solved with just one pill."

Hearing her parents' words, Yu Lan felt very anxious. "Mom and Dad, Sister Su said she can save her, so she definitely can..."

"Shut up!"

Before Yu Lan could finish speaking, Yu Zhenbang interrupted her sharply, his face dark as he looked at her, "You have no right to speak here."

Meeting Yu Zhenbang's cold gaze, Yu Lan felt a little intimidated, but since it concerned the old man's safety, she couldn't remain silent. "But..."

Yu Lan wanted to say something more, but she suddenly stopped after only uttering two sentences.

The others assumed he was afraid of Zhenbang and kept quiet, so they didn't think much of it.

However, they didn't have time to think much about it, because the door to the emergency room was opened.

"Doctor, how is my father?" Yu Zhenbang was the first to rush to the doctor.

Doctor: "I'm sorry, we did our best."
