223: Lin Xuan redeems system items, and Su Yan is eager to return to the Su family
The next day, early morning.
Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, showering the earth with warmth and light.
Su Family Manor.
Lin Xuan hummed a little tune, holding a violet and breakfast, as he returned to the familiar room.
"Qingge, good morning."
As soon as he pushed open the door, he was stunned by the beautiful scene before him... The golden morning light streamed through the curtains, softly illuminating the room and the stunning young woman sitting on the bed.
The girl was like a blooming flower, exuding a captivating aura.
She leaned quietly against the headboard, her hands gently resting on her knees, her head slightly bowed, as if in deep thought.
Her skin was as fair as snow, shimmering with a crystalline luster in the sunlight, like a transparent jade sculpture.
Her hair was as smooth as silk, cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, gently swaying with the breeze from outside the window, a beautiful posture like that of a celestial maiden.
Her eyes were like deep, clear lakes, bright and luminous. Her pupils sparkled with light, brilliant like stars, revealing an extraordinary and ethereal temperament.
Her lips curved slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, like the first ray of morning sun, warm and gentle.
Her figure was flawless, with graceful curves, lithe and elegant, every line filled with strength and vitality.
The sunlight fell upon the young woman, outlining her slender form, like a masterpiece by an artist, every detail so perfect.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the entire room was immersed in the young woman's beauty.
Her presence made one feel how beautiful and serene the world was, like a beautiful dream, intoxicating one, unwilling to wake up... Sensing Lin Xuan's entrance, the girl turned her head and gave Lin Xuan a slight, incredibly beautiful smile.
"Qingge, you can already sit up by yourself? Can you speak?"
Lin Xuan was full of pleasant surprise and quickly went to the bedside... [After waking up this morning, I found that my upper body had regained mobility.]
[Although my limbs are still a bit stiff, I should be able to move freely after a few days of getting used to them.]
[However, my vocal cords have not yet recovered, so I can't speak normally at the moment...]
[As for my lower body, it is still paralyzed, and I can't leave the wheelchair for now.]
[I can feel my body recovering very quickly, and the date of full recovery is not far off.]
...Su Qingge pointed to her legs, then to her throat, making "ah ah ah" sounds...
Seeing that her body was indeed recovering rapidly, she was full of excitement, gesturing wildly with her hands.
"Good, good, good, don't get too excited, I understand."
Lin Xuan smiled and sat on the bed, his face full of doting affection.
Even though they couldn't communicate verbally, the instinctive, heartfelt understanding between them allowed him to instantly grasp what the young woman meant.
"Oh, right, I brought your breakfast up with me. Let me feed you first!"
With that, Lin Xuan picked up a bowl of steaming millet porridge, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to the young woman's lips, speaking softly as if coaxing a child:
"Come, open your mouth. Ah~~~"
"..."
When Su Qingge was still in a vegetative state...
She was unable to chew or swallow food on her own.
So, to help her get water and food to maintain her metabolism, weight, and nutrition to survive.
Doctors chose to use a long-term gastric tube for nasogastric feeding.
They inserted a long, thin transparent tube into the young woman's nasal cavity, and the gastric tube passed through the nasal cavity and was finally placed into the esophagus.
Then, food was ground into a liquid nutrient solution using a blender and put into a syringe.
The large syringe was then connected to the feeding port of the gastric tube connector.
After confirming a secure connection, water and food were continuously injected into Su Qingge's stomach by manually pressing the plunger of the syringe...
This somewhat painful feeding method continued until Su Qingge woke up.
Afterward, under the advice and guidance of doctors, nasogastric feeding was gradually abandoned, and she slowly transitioned to eating easily digestible, nutritious foods to help Su Qingge regain her strength.
So, during this time, the young woman, whose upper body couldn't move, basically relied on Lin Xuan's patient feeding...
Things like chicken, duck, and fish soup, vegetable and fruit juices, or feeding her gruel, rice porridge, etc.
In short, it was to avoid feeding the newly awakened patient foods that were difficult to digest, so as not to burden her gastrointestinal tract...
"Why aren't you opening your mouth? Don't you like millet porridge?"
"If you want your body to recover quickly, you can't be picky ~ ~"
Seeing the spoon already at her mouth, Su Qingge still blushed and remained unresponsive, Lin Xuan couldn't help but educate her in a fatherly tone...
[Oh dear~ It's like this again. I wanted to say before, can you not treat me like a child?]
[I'm an adult, is this really appropriate?]
[So cheesy, so awkward! I'm getting goosebumps all over~~]
[I can move now, I'll eat by myself! You don't need to feed me!]
[Give me the bowl and chopsticks!]
...Su Qingge couldn't stand the man's tone and reached out to grab the millet porridge herself.
At the same time, she made indistinct sounds:
"I'll... eat... it... myself..."
"No, I'll feed you. This is a husband's responsibility! If you don't even let me do this little thing, are you really that disgusted with me~~~"
Lin Xuan shook his head repeatedly and gave Su Qingge a pitiful gaze attack.
(⊙︿⊙).
Hearing Lin Xuan refer to himself as her husband, Su Qingge blushed and covered her forehead, finally choosing to compromise.
"That's right... Ah~~~"
Lin Xuan blew on a spoonful of steaming food and brought it to her delicate red lips, feeling a surge of satisfaction as he watched the blushing Su Qingge open her mouth and eat it.
o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o.
Tsk tsk tsk... This is the joy of feeding a beautiful young woman~~~
And Su Qingge, with a helpless expression, accepted the feeding while listening to Lin Xuan recount the aftermath of last night's Celebration Banquet...
"I heard that last night, the Wang Family was surrounded by a large number of debt collectors, and in the end, some even broke in and gave the Wang Family members a good beating."
"I've already instructed Hu Zheng to use the evidence he has to start sending court summons to the Wang Family."
"However, the employees of Wang's Enterprise are restless now, with a large number of employees resigning and fleeing, and major and minor shareholders have also started frantically selling their shares..."
"If there's no external interference, they basically won't last until we sue them; the Wang Family will collapse on its own."
"..."
Lin Xuan had a gloating expression.
According to his estimation, in at most 2 or 3 days, Wang's company would likely declare bankruptcy.
The only variable was the Huo Family.
If the Huo Family were to help, the Wang Family might still be able to survive.
But given Lin Xuan's understanding of the Huo Family's style, they would be too busy distancing themselves from the Wang Family, which had no more use, so how could they possibly help?!
[I wonder how Aunt is doing?]
[Did those guys from the Wang Family treat her well?]
After listening to Lin Xuan's account, Su Qingge frowned slightly, feeling a bit worried.
She didn't care at all about the fate of the Wang Family; the only thing she was concerned about was... her aunt.
Even though they had already severed ties, the other party was still her relative.
No matter how much Su Qingge pretended to be indifferent, deep down, she couldn't help but pay attention to Su Yan's situation.
And Lin Xuan obviously noticed this, unconsciously narrowing his eyes, lost in thought.
He didn't want Su Yan to have any further involvement with the Su Family; that woman had no brains and would only cause trouble and drag down her own family.
After all, that was her character setting.
Of course... there were some things he couldn't actively tell Su Qingge, otherwise it would seem too heartless.
But he already had some ideas on how to deal with Su Yan.
Since he couldn't kill her, he would send her to a place from which she couldn't return...
"Oh, right, Qingge. Your aunt is fine; those debt collectors still have some sense."
"No matter what, your aunt's surname is Su, so those people wouldn't dare do anything to her..."
"But I heard that Su Yan seems to have fallen out with the Wang Family; they've completely broken up."
"..."
Lin Xuan didn't beat around the bush and told Su Qingge what she most wanted to know.
And upon hearing that her aunt was fine, the young woman, despite her outwardly indifferent expression, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her lips relaxed a little.
This scene, falling into Lin Xuan's eyes, made him frown.
Indeed... Qingge still can't let go of this family affection...
But that's not surprising; her character is like this, she's sentimental.
Actually, it's a good thing, isn't this what I like about her?
If Qingge was even indifferent to her own family, wouldn't she be even more cold-blooded and heartless towards me... and others?
Lin Xuan knew very well... that the current Su Qingge was no longer the blackened young woman from the original plot.
So, when dealing with Su Yan, she still couldn't be ruthless and completely let go.
In this situation, he could only help her.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"After Su Yan is kicked out of the Wang Family, she will inevitably, in desperation, cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself, weeping and wanting to return to the Su Family."
"No, she might even be on her way now..."
"Given Qingge's current attitude, who knows how she'll handle Su Yan? For this, I need to completely eliminate the possibility of the aunt and niece reconciling."
"And that's simple enough; just let Qingge know that one of the masterminds behind her becoming a vegetative state was her own aunt..."
"At that time! Even if she values family affection, Su Yan will no longer be able to return to the Su Family, and there's a high probability that a disappointed Su Qingge will send her to jail, out of sight, out of mind."
"So how do I let Su Qingge know the truth?"
"She most likely has some suspicions, but just no evidence, subconsciously unwilling to think too much about it..."
"..."
Actually, if he wanted to collect Su Yan's "criminal" evidence... Lin Xuan could do it, but it was too troublesome and would take time.
"System, open the integralMall."
To deal with Su Yan as quickly as possible, Lin Xuan could only reluctantly spend some Affection Points to exchange for a useful item.
Finally.
After some effort, Lin Xuan found an item in the System Mall that satisfied him.
[Item: Truth Talisman.]
[Price: 500.]
[Effect: Suitable for interrogation, investigation, or obtaining intelligence, it can influence the words and actions of the person on whom the talisman is used, making them speak their true thoughts or information.]
No need to say anything else, you're the one... Lin Xuan endured the heartache and chose to exchange for the [Truth Talisman].
Very good.
Now everything was ready, all that was left was for the 'east wind' to come knocking on his door...
On the bustling streets of Modu.
Su Yan was disheveled, completely losing her usual elegant image.
She had been kicked out of the Wang Family overnight, and at this moment, she was dialing numbers from her contact list, her face full of irritation.
"Hello! Sister Fang! It's Su Yan, do you have any spare money? I want to borrow 10 million for an emergency... *beep beep beep*..."
"Hello? Boss Han, can you hear me? What! You can't hear me, bad signal? Hello, hello, hello..."
"Ah Wei! Didn't you used to want me to be your girlfriend? I agree, but can you lend me 2 million for turnover! Hello! Don't hang up yet, you scumbag!!!"
"..."
After a series of calls, her heart sank.
Whether it was her former best friends, business partners, or backup admirers...
Now that they knew she had no ties with the Su Family, every single one of them avoided her like the plague.
"Bastards, these heartless ingrates! They used to fawn over me like dogs, and now they're crossing the bridge and tearing it down."
"Damn Wang Family, I'm in this situation because of these animals. And Wang Defa, you old geezer, you played with my feelings! I will never let you off!"
"Sigh... there's no other way! I must mend my relationship with Qingge and return to the Su Family!"
"Otherwise, I won't even be able to survive, let alone live the life of luxury I used to have!"
"Luckily, I understand Qingge; she's always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. As long as I keep playing the victim and use a bit of a bitter ploy, I'm sure I can move Qingge!"
"..."
After days of repeated blows, Su Yan finally recognized the truth: without the Su Family, she was nothing.
All her funds were frozen, and she was penniless, not even having money for a bowl of noodles.
How could she, accustomed to a life of luxury, accept this?
Su Yan used to think that true love conquered all, that as long as there was love in her heart, even eating the north wind would be sweet...
But now she wished she could travel back in time and give herself a big slap to wake up.
Recalling her past foolishness, she felt pathetic.
She must have been out of her mind back then, to actually fall for an old geezer???
Wouldn't it be better to go to a club and keep a few young male models? They would obey her every command, wouldn't that be ten thousand times better than revolving around an old geezer?!
The more Su Yan thought about it, the angrier she got, but since things had come to this, she could only cut her losses in time.
The current plan... if she wanted to live a superior life again, she had to reclaim her identity as Qingge's aunt.
Only then would others fear and curry favor with her.
And she could once again act unscrupulously and squander her youth.
Thinking this, Su Yan quickly ran towards the Su Family Manor...
