Chapter 10 : Breaking Up a Pair of Mandarin Ducks

  • After arriving at the hospital, Su Luoluo easily found her brother's ward according to the location given by Su Le'er.
  • Her brother lay quietly on the hospital bed, his frail body as thin as a piece of paper.
  • Upon seeing him, Su Luoluo couldn't help but feel a sourness in her eyes, and tears fell like beads that had broken off their string. She quickly wiped away her tears before entering the room.
  • "Who are you?" The nurse was changing Su Huai's dressing.
  • "I am his sister."
  • "Sister?"
  • The nurse looked at Su Luoluo suspiciously, clearly doubting her identity. "How come I didn't know he had a sister? He has been transferred here for over a week, but no one has come to visit him."
  • "Well, now you know that he has a sister. Also, please pay the hospital fees quickly."
  • The nurse's words hit her heart like a punch.
  • Su Luoluo's tears, which she had just stopped, immediately fell again.
  • Her eyes turned red.
  • Seeing her like this, the nurse didn't say anything and left.
  • "Su Huai, I'm sorry, it's sister's fault... Sister came late. Are you feeling very tired lying in bed?"
  • The boy's young face remained expressionless.
  • Su Luoluo reached out and smoothed his tightly furrowed brows. Her heart felt like a glass shattered by a sledgehammer, making a loud crashing sound.
  • Her brother had acute leukemia and needed dialysis every month. Now he also faced the need for a kidney transplant...
  • He was just a child!
  • While other children were playing games and being spoiled by their parents, her brother had already learned to comfort himself. He said it didn't hurt, he wasn't afraid, but how could it not hurt or be scary!
  • Su Luoluo wiped away her tears and walked to the balcony.
  • "Hello? It's Su Luoluo."
  • "Why are you calling me? Did you see that sick brat?"
  • Her own biological father actually referred to her seriously ill son as a sick brat!
  • Su Luoluo bit her lip tightly. She knew that hoping for Su Bairan to have a conscience was less likely than hoping for ghosts to exist.
  • "I saw my brother, but his condition needs to be treated as soon as possible. When are you arranging the surgery?"
  • If it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have let him control her.
  • "Surgery? I'm already having someone find a kidney... Su Luoluo, don't talk to me with that commanding attitude! You are now my pawn, both you and your brother rely on me for support. Put away your self-righteousness! Also, as long as you obey me and take care of that cripple in the Gu family without exposing anything, I will send the monthly medical expenses on time. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
  • Hearing her father's threat, Su Luoluo clenched her small fists.
  • There was no sign of weakness on her plain little face.
  • In the end, she just nodded and said, "I hope you keep your word. I will be a good wife and daughter-in-law, but if anything happens to my brother, we will go to hell together!"
  • Su Luoluo gritted her teeth.
  • She had nothing to lose.
  • Once something happened to her brother, she would never let Su Bairan off the hook.
  • "Su Luoluo, watch your attitude! You are just a pawn of mine, what right do you have to threaten me? You are just like your foolish mother, daring to threaten me! "
  • "Dad, we are all on the same boat now. Don't you want the Gu family to know about my replacement marriage? I have only one request: I want Su Huai to be safe. Otherwise, none of us will have a good life."
  • After saying that, Su Luoluo hung up the phone directly.
  • She believed that Su Bairan would never dare to take risks.
  • Turning around and looking at the boy on the hospital bed, Su Luoluo pursed her lips. Brother, as long as sister is alive, I will never give up on you.
  • She held Su Huai's hand with both hands, his fingers cold from the constant infusion...
  • Su Luoluo stayed with her brother for a while, then went to the payment counter to check. Sure enough, a hundred thousand yuan had been deposited ten minutes ago.
  • She looked at the payment receipt and a faint smile appeared on her lips. It was a smile from the bottom of her heart!
  • She would be a good daughter-in-law, as long as it could make her brother better!
  • The slender girl moved through the crowd, her previously dejected expression now refreshed, her eyes full of hope for the future.
  • "Young Master, what are you looking at?"
  • Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
  • Gu Tingyun snapped out of his thoughts.
  • His handsome features were like a work of art carefully crafted by the heavens. Even calling him an artwork wouldn't be an exaggeration. He exuded an elegant and noble temperament, different from the indifference and coldness of Gu Tingjun. He had an additional touch of scholarly humility.
  • And there was always a faint smile on his face, approachable.
  • "Nothing." Gu Tingyun withdrew his gaze.
  • He came to the hospital for routine check-ups every week, checking his legs and undergoing follow-up examinations. The doctors and equipment he used were the best.
  • In the past, he always found these things particularly boring, but today the rehabilitation process was particularly pleasant.
  • It wasn't until the doctor called him that he snapped out of his thoughts.
  • It turned out that there had been a shadow in his mind, constantly moving back and forth. The girl he saw at the payment counter...
  • Wasn't she the eldest daughter of the Su family?
  • Wearing cheap clothes, even her phone was a cheap brand. He remembered fixing her phone for her and she shyly said, "I bought it with my own money, it has a different meaning."
  • So why did she come to the hospital today...
  • "Young Master, why are you so absent-minded today as soon as you entered the hospital?" the servant asked.
  • Gu Tingyun smiled self-deprecatingly, "Gu Qi, have you settled down?"
  • "No, not yet, Young Master. Do you feel touched now that Second Young Master has married? Shall I ask Grandfather to introduce a girl to you too? Young Master, you are the eldest young master of the Gu family, there must be many girls who want to marry you. I think Miss Su is not bad, but you insisted on giving her to Second Young Master..."
  • "Gu Qi, stop talking nonsense."
  • Gu Tingyun's eyes dimmed.
  • After instructing Gu Qi to drive, Gu Tingyun couldn't help but let his thoughts wander...
  • But Gu Qi was right. He was the eldest young master of the Gu family, with many privileges that others didn't have. For example, after sending Gu Qi away, he simply inquired and heard from the duty nurse that a girl named Su Luoluo had indeed come, and she had come to visit Room 1018.
  • Room 1080 was where a leukemia patient had been transferred a week ago. The young man was particularly handsome, and Su Miss cried while holding him.
  • Gu Tingyun's brows gradually furrowed.
  • He suddenly had a bad feeling.
  • Could it be that Su Luoluo, who had been reluctant to marry into the Gu family and had delayed the wedding, already had someone in her heart?
  • This made Gu Tingyun feel like a huge stone was pressing on his heart.
  • If he unintentionally broke up a marriage, it would already be a sin. Now he had let Su Luoluo marry his brother...
  • All the way back, Gu Tingyun sat in the car with a handsome frown on his face.
