496: Oh~~ My weak, helpless and pitiful granddaughter~~

Modu First Peoples Hospital, Super VIP ward.

On the hospital bed.

Su Shengtian, who had just woken up, had a rosy complexion and was full of vigor.

His eyes were bright and spirited, showing no signs of the fatigue or confusion from his long coma, as if he had just woken from a nap, rather than enduring the torment of a prolonged unconsciousness.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto his face, highlighting his revitalized appearance.

If anyone else saw this scene, they would find it hard to believe this was an old man who had been in a coma for several weeks...

At this moment, Su Shengtian was all smiles, chatting happily with an ordinary-looking young man—Su Fan.

Although he had been in a coma before, he occasionally had moments of consciousness and knew that it was Su Fan's tireless daily massages that allowed him to awaken in such a short time.

Coupled with a certain inexplicable sense of closeness hidden in their bloodline, Su Shengtian's good impression of the young man before him kept increasing: +1, +1, +1, +1, +1...

Naturally, Su Fan was delighted by this; he also wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to his Grandpa.

Click!

The ward door was pushed open, and the Grandpa and Grandson turned to see Lin Xuan, looking a bit unnatural, walk in.

(•́へ•́╬) Hmph~~~

How will you explain this to my Grandpa?!

Facing his brother-in-law, Su Fan snorted coldly in his heart, extremely displeased.

Evidently, he still held a grudge over Lin Xuan's failure to protect his younger sister.

However, what made Su Fan somewhat uncertain and surprised was...

Just for a moment, he seemed to sense a faint, mysterious aura from Lin Xuan...

But when he looked closer, it all seemed to be his imagination?

All he could see... was still Lin Xuan's incredibly handsome, fair face...

Hmm, (≖ ≖) not sure, I'll look again~~~

On the other side.

Su Shengtian was both surprised and delighted, repeatedly waving to Lin Xuan, signaling for him to sit beside him.

"Xiao Xuan, my good Grandson-in-law, come here!"

"A day apart feels like three autumns! Come quickly and let Grandpa see if you've gained weight!"

"Hmm, good, good, good. Compared to before my coma, your looks have taken another leap. My Granddaughter is truly blessed to marry such a handsome and dashing man like you!"

"You clearly have the look of a man who will bring prosperity to his wife, very good indeed~~~"

"..."

Receiving such high praise from Old Master Su, Lin Xuan couldn't help but blush.

Then, at Su Shengtian's inquiry, he recounted everything that had happened during the time he was in a coma.

Old Master Su listened very attentively, nodding in admiration from time to time.

Especially upon hearing the good news that his beloved Granddaughter's health had recovered well and that Su Corporation was thriving, he was greatly relieved, exclaiming that he had not chosen the wrong Grandson-in-law.

Only when the unfilial daughter Su Yan was mentioned, and he learned that after causing a series of troubles, she ultimately ended up with a life sentence, his expression became somewhat dejected.

Alas, the heart of a parent is truly pitiful~~~~

Even Su Fan mourned for his aunt's fate for two and a half seconds~~~

But that was all; there's a difference between close and distant relations. Since she dared to drug his little sister, causing her to become a vegetable.

Even if she was his aunt by blood, Su Fan would never forgive her!!!

"Xiao Xuan, you've done very well."

"Facts prove! Old man that I am, I didn't misjudge you. For my Su Family to have such a Son-in-law, it's truly a sign of ancestral blessings! Hahaha..."

"..."

At this moment, Su Shengtian laughed heartily from the bottom of his heart, his satisfaction with Lin Xuan steadily rising.

Nothing was more reassuring to him than waking up to find everything well at home.

To the side.

Hearing Lin Xuan being praised so highly by his Grandpa, Su Fan's mouth twitched, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

(＃￣～￣＃).

And then, the conversation finally turned to Su Qingge. Hearing Old Master Su inquire about his beloved Granddaughter's whereabouts?

Lin Xuan immediately swallowed hard, his bottom tightened, and he stammered, unsure how to explain.

"Grandpa Su, I... sigh, I'm sorry, I failed your trust, it's all my fault for not taking good care of Qingge (꒦_꒦)~~~"

Finally, Lin Xuan bit the bullet and, under Old Master Su's expectant gaze, fully disclosed Su Qingge's disappearance.

(ÒωÓױ) What?!

My delicate, frail, and precious Granddaughter is in danger and missing???

No~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sudden bad news struck Su Shengtian like a bolt of lightning, instantly leaving him stunned.

The next second, blood rushed to his head, his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.

(♦ people♦).

Two and a half minutes later.

Through Su Fan's emergency treatment with the "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles," Old Master Su finally regained consciousness under the worried gaze of Lin Xuan and Su Fan.

"Xiao Xuan..."

"You know my precious Granddaughter's body is frail."

After waking up, Su Shengtian was restless, chattering incessantly, mumbling anxiously.

"She usually doesn't go out, staying within the inner doors, as fragile as easily broken glass, completely defenseless!"

"I can't imagine how terrified and scared she must be, all alone out there?"

"Alas~ my weak, helpless, and pitiful Granddaughter! She is so timid and soft-hearted."

"Normally, even a gust of wind could knock her down, she can't even beat an ant."

"And she's still sick. If she falls into the hands of some cruel and vicious evildoers, she might just be slightly scared, and her legs would go weak, her limbs powerless, trembling with fear."

"I simply can't imagine her current situation, what should I do?! Alas... Oh dear... Wuwuwu..."

"..."

By this point, Su Shengtian was sobbing uncontrollably, his face filled with anxiety and helplessness, his sorrowful appearance making everyone who saw him feel pity.

The first to be affected... was Su Fan.

As Su Shengtian cried, he too imagined some terrifying scenarios.

Before his eyes appeared images of his sister, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, so fragile and vulnerable, trembling and cowering in a corner, being tormented...

Suddenly, his nose stung, his dragon eyes welled up with tears, and the corners of his mouth could no longer curl up. (ಥ﹏ಥ)

At this moment, the empathetic Grandpa and Grandson almost let their sorrow overwhelm them!!!

Of course, as a pure love warrior, Lin Xuan also felt bad.

Originally, considering that Su Qingge left voluntarily, plus having the protective jade pendant... Lin Xuan, though a bit worried, wasn't overly panicked.

His seventh sense as a man told him that Su Qingge was not in danger at the moment.

But after Su Shengtian's barrage of "suffering" hypotheticals, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit anxious again.

He even started to consider whether to use the system to directly locate Su Qingge and instantly teleport there.

According to the options given by the system... by paying 999,999 points of Affection Points, he could instantly teleport to any Affection Target he had previously interacted with.

The reason Lin Xuan hadn't chosen to do this, aside from feeling a bit pained about the Affection Points, was primarily that he felt... that without her encountering any danger, he didn't want to overly interfere with Su Qingge's freedom of action.

To be honest, ever since Su Qingge woke up, Lin Xuan could feel... that she seemed to be hiding some unknown secret from him?!

Although he was very curious, as long as Su Qingge didn't proactively confide in him, he wouldn't foolishly ask.

After all, everyone has their own personal privacy, and didn't he also have secrets buried deep in his heart?

Of course... the premise of not interfering was that Su Qingge's personal safety was not threatened by external forces.

If in three days, his wife didn't return as promised, or if he sensed that her [Protective Jade Pendant] had shattered... then Lin Xuan would certainly spare no effort to instantly teleport to her side and save her like a hero.

Inside the hospital VIP ward.

Lin Xuan rubbed his temples, his head aching, as he looked at Su Shengtian, who was shedding old tears, his voice choked with sobs, crying out, "My poor Granddaughter~~~"

He could only wear a helpless expression and repeat the words of comfort he had said for the 108th time. (ﾉ"◑ ◑)ﾉ"(｡•́︿•̀｡)

..."Grandpa Su, I've already contacted the police and mobilized all my connections to search for Qingge. I'm sure we'll have news of her very soon."

"Don't worry, even if we can't find her for now. But if Qingge doesn't appear as promised in three days, I will definitely use other methods to bring her back to you completely."

"So, Old Master Su, don't worry yet... Alright, I'm worried myself, so asking you to completely calm down seems like an impossible task."

"But you've only just woken up, you still need to take care of your health!"

"Otherwise, when Qingge returns, and you've collapsed again from excessive worry, then... Qingge will definitely blame herself for it."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Shengtian suppressed his tears, turned his head, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Unfortunately, less than two and a half seconds later.

Old Master Su seemed to have imagined some other "miserable and sorrowful" scene, his face fell, and he hugged Su Fan, who was equally empathetic and teary-eyed.

The two fragile men then began to "ying ying ying" sob like this o(╥﹏╥)o~~~~

ε=(´ο｀*))) Annoying~~~

Lin Xuan felt the veins on his forehead twitching; the crying of the Grandpa and Grandson made him feel a rush of irritation.

So, using the excuse of searching for Su Qingge, he quickly fled the ward.

Anyway, with his brother-in-law, the inheritor of the "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles," there, why should he worry about Old Master Su's health?!

Click!

As he closed the door, Lin Xuan could still hear the helpless sobs continuously emanating from the ward.

The sheer volume of the sound was enough to make listeners weep and viewers grieve.

At this moment, Su Shengtian was no longer the once imposing and dignified head of the Sus; he was merely an ordinary old man worried about his Granddaughter...

"My sweet, sensible, and fragile Granddaughter who can't take care of herself, you must not be in any trouble (꒦_꒦)~~~"

"You are Grandpa's only living relative in this world, Qingge."

"Grandpa misses you so much! Ծ‸Ծ Qingge, when we meet again, you must be well..."

"My precious Granddaughter, you must be happy, you must be blissful. Grandpa will pray for you, (ಥ﹏ಥ) you must be happy and blissful."

"Wuwuwu... My precious Granddaughter who can't carry a dragon on her shoulders or pull a willow with her hands~~~ How can Grandpa live without you o(╥﹏╥)o~~~~"

"..."
