Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.
Chapter 70 Awakening
Cheng Wuyan felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"You? Cured my father? Miss Bai, are you out of your mind?"
"She's not out of her mind," Cheng Yizhou said. "I just met a very capable expert who said that Grandpa's condition might be poisoning."
"Poisoning?" Cheng Wuyan was taken aback.
Cheng Dong and Lin Yu looked over abruptly.
Cheng Yizhou nodded and said, "That's right, it's very likely poisoning, and Bai Su happens to know how to detoxify."
"Her? She's confused, and you're confused too?"
"I'm not confused. You probably don't know who she is, right? I'll tell you now. She's Grandma Bai's granddaughter, and she's been learning medicine from Grandma Bai since she was little."
Cheng Wuyan's eyelids twitched.
"Are you talking about your grandfather's senior apprentice, the Divine Doctor Bai?"
"That's right! Grandpa has known Bai Su's identity for a long time, which is why he invited her to our home for dinner several times. Now that she happens to have the antidote, she might be able to help Grandpa."
"Are you sure you haven't mistaken her identity?"
"I might be wrong, but do you think Grandpa would be wrong?"
of course not!
His father is the junior apprentice of Doctor Bai, so he wouldn't mistake his senior sister's granddaughter.
"If that's the case..."
"Forget about 'what ifs,' Grandpa is critically ill. Even if it's a desperate measure, we have to try!"
As they were talking, the doctor in the emergency room delivered another critical condition notice.
"The old man's condition has worsened. You can think about what you want to say to him first, and we can let you in to see him one last time in a moment..."
Cheng Wuyan's face turned deathly pale.
He was actually a very filial son and couldn't accept that his father had left so suddenly.
Taking the opportunity, Cheng Yizhou said, "Dad, what are you still hesitating about? If you don't believe Bai Su's identity, you can make a phone call and ask the Pei family. The Pei family has already recognized her."
The Pei family...
Has Pei Yuanshan also accepted Bai Su?
There is absolutely no way that this matter could be wrong.
"Then let's give it a try!"
We have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Bai Su immediately took out a pill and handed it to the doctor: "Please have him swallow it."
"OK……"
Seeing that Cheng Wuyan did not stop him, the doctor took the medicine and went back into the emergency room.
Lin Yu instinctively tried to stop him, but Cheng Dong held her back tightly.
He didn't believe Bai Su had that ability; otherwise, why didn't she say so sooner?
If they stop them now, Cheng Wuyan might blame them after the old man dies.
It's better to do nothing.
A group of people waited anxiously outside.
Cheng Yizhou and the others were waiting for the old man to wake up, while Lin Yu and her son were waiting for news of Cheng Sihai's death.
Soon, half an hour, an hour, and another half hour passed, and the lights in the emergency room went out.
Dr. Qian led two doctors out.
"Congratulations." Dr. Qian grasped Cheng Wuyan's hand and said, "The old man's condition has improved, and he is out of danger. In a little while, once he is more stable, he can be transferred to a regular ward."
"How is that possible?!" Lin Yu blurted out.
Cheng Wuyan frowned and looked over: "What do you mean, 'How is that possible'?"
"I……"
Cheng Dong quickly spoke up for his mother, saying, "Mom is just overjoyed, Dad, please don't misunderstand."
Lin Yu quickly added, "Yes, it's simply a miracle..."
"How could you say 'how could it be' when you're so happy? Aunt Lin, do you not want my grandfather to get better?" Cheng Yizhou asked aggressively.
Lin Yu forced herself to calm down and said, "I just didn't expect that female classmate to have such great abilities..."
"Nonsense! She's Grandma Bai's granddaughter, of course she has that ability. It's just that she didn't know Grandpa was poisoned beforehand, so she didn't dare to act rashly."
"Alright! Say less. Your Aunt Lin didn't mean anything by it."
As Cheng Wuyan spoke, he turned to thank Bai Su.
"No need! To me, Old Cheng is also my grandfather. After my grandmother passed away, he took care of me a lot after I came to the capital. He also asked Cheng Yizhou to take care of me several times at school. I have always remembered this kindness. Now that he is in trouble, I will naturally do my best to help him," Bai Su said.
Cheng Wuyan suddenly remembered that Lin Yu had said that she and Cheng Yizhou might be dating.
It seems there was a misunderstanding.
Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper because of this, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
"I never imagined you were Aunt Bai's granddaughter. Where do you live now? If you need any help with anything, just let me know."
"I live in Zizhu Villa. The house was rented for me by Grandpa Cheng. For my safety, he also instructed Cheng Yizhou, Lao Ding, and Yunlan to live next door to me so that they could take care of me."
Cheng Wuyan hesitated for a moment.
"So... you moved out during this time because your grandfather instructed you to?" he asked Cheng Yizhou.
Cheng Yizhou turned his face away without saying anything, but this was tantamount to acquiescing.
Cheng Wuyan was even more embarrassed.
Why didn't you tell me then?
Even if I told you, would you believe me?
"Of course I'll believe you..." he said, though his voice lacked strength.
If he didn't now know Bai Su's true identity, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.
"Gentlemen..." Dr. Qian returned: "The old man has stabilized and has been moved to a regular ward. You can go visit him now. He's in bed 1 on the 11th floor."
Cheng Wuyan immediately forgot everything else, thanked them, and hurriedly went to the 11th floor.
Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou followed closely behind.
Lin Yu and her son did not follow; they were completely flustered.
"Son, what do we do? The old man isn't dead... How could he not be dead? What should we do now?" Lin Yu was extremely panicked, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Cheng Dong wasn't in much better shape either; his palms were sweaty.
He really didn't expect that Bai Su would actually have this ability.
If he had known this would happen, he would have stopped Bai Su at all costs, even if Cheng Wuyan had suspected him.
But it's too late to say all this now.
"What should we do? Son, are we going to be kicked out? Maybe...we'll even go to jail!"
Cheng Dong took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, and said, "Don't be too anxious. Calm down. The old man is just alive, but no one will suspect that we did it. Even if Cheng Yizhou suspects us, he has no evidence."
"Yes...you're right, I've destroyed all the evidence. I threw the remaining poison powder into the garbage room outside. It's empty now; the powder has been taken to the landfill. They won't find any evidence!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that we didn't succeed this time, and I don't know if we'll have another chance to do it next time." Lin Yu said with a face full of regret.
Isn't Cheng Dong the same?
A golden opportunity was squandered because of Bai Su Bai Bai.
"I've heard of Doctor Bai's reputation, but I never imagined that this country girl was actually Doctor Bai's granddaughter. I miscalculated; I should have investigated her identity sooner."
"Yeah, no wonder that old geezer is so good to her. I thought it was just because she helped Cheng Yizhou with his studies..."
"Actually, we should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago. Even if she helped Cheng Yizhou with his studies, that alone wouldn't have made the old man so enthusiastic about her."
"I suppose that's what they were talking about in the tea room that time."
The two were filled with regret.
"Next time, we can't arrange for poison to be used again. That brat knows how to cure it. Next time, we have to create an accident," Lin Yu said.
However, the cost of creating an accident is too high, and it is also easy to leave evidence.
They need to proceed slowly and carefully to ensure everything goes smoothly.
The mother and son exchanged a glance and reached a consensus—next time, they would make sure Cheng Sihai died without a burial place.
"Mom, go buy some porridge. I'll go upstairs first, so they won't get suspicious," Cheng Dong instructed.
"it is good."
……
In the ward.
Cheng Sihai has woken up, but he looks very "weak".
Cheng Yizhou held Cheng Sihai's hand tightly.
He didn't say anything because Cheng Wuyan was present, and there were some things he couldn't say.
But his actions have already said it all.
He was very worried about him.
Cheng Sihai smiled knowingly.
"Don't worry, all my years of charity work haven't been for nothing. God will help me. And sure enough, I've escaped a disaster, haven't I?"
Cheng Yizhou seized the opportunity to say, "It wasn't God who helped you, it was Bai Su. You should thank her this time..."
Cheng Sihai feigned a hint of doubt and asked Cheng Wuyan, "Son, what does this mean?"
Cheng Wuyan explained everything in detail.
"We really owe a lot to Miss Bai this time..."
"What Miss Bai? She's your Aunt Bai's granddaughter. Of course, she's my savior now, so you have to obey her every command from now on."
"Yes..." Cheng Wuyan dared not refute.
At the same time, I am genuinely grateful to Bai Su for her help this time.
Thus, Bai Su naturally gained Cheng Wuyan's "approval".
Even if Cheng Wuyan is at home, she can come and go from the Cheng family home at any time.
As for her true identity, she did not intend to tell Cheng Wuyan.
Cheng Wuyan's straightforward personality meant that knowing too much was not necessarily a good thing.
It wouldn't be too late for her to let Cheng Wuyan know after she figured out the situation of her apprentices.
A short while later, Cheng Dong came in.
Cheng Wuyan said with slight dissatisfaction, "Your grandfather has woken up, why didn't you come to visit him right away?"
He no longer finds Cheng Dong and Lin Yu so agreeable.
While the old man was being treated, they kept saying bad things about Cheng Yizhou.
Now, all those negative comments have been refuted.
Cheng Yizhou did not stay out all night, nor did he have a puppy love relationship.
However, Bai Su is actually Aunt Bai's granddaughter. How could the old man dare to associate with her?
Didn't the old man say that we shouldn't associate with some of our fellow disciples, or disaster would strike?
But with Bai Su beside him, he didn't dare to ask too many questions and temporarily suppressed his doubts.
Cheng Dong said, "My mom went to buy porridge for my grandpa. I originally wanted to go with her, but then I thought that my grandpa might need some help, so I came over first."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Wuyan's expression softened slightly.
A short while later, Lin Yu came in, bringing porridge as expected.
Cheng Wuyan said nothing more.
He simply said, "Dad, your poisoning this time is really strange. Shouldn't we investigate it thoroughly?"
