Hospital ward.
Su Niannian walked out of the attending doctor’s office. Just as she was about to return to the ward, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it, a colder expression in her eyes.
She had intended to hang up immediately, but her finger hesitated over the end-call button.
Not entirely sure what she was feeling, she pressed the answer button.
The next second, Su Qing’s indifferent voice came through the phone, "Su Niannian, Su Niannian, the Su Family can arrange a hospital for your mother and continue to pay for the medical expenses, but there’s a condition."
At this point, Su Qing paused, his tone as cold as if he was negotiating with a stranger, "From today, you must not approach the Su Family or speak of us to outsiders."
After hearing this, Su Niannian suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.
She leaned against the wall, holding her phone, and looked through the window at the tranquil and elegant scenery of the garden outside.
After a while, she spoke coldly, "No need, we have already found a hospital, and the issue with the medical fees is resolved. Rest assured, from now on, the Su Family has nothing to do with me or my mother!"
Having said that, Su Niannian hung up directly.
Before, Mrs. Su stayed because she was holding a grudge, unwilling to relinquish her rightful place to Yin Xiuxiu.
Moreover, the high medical costs were indeed something only the Su Family could afford. However, the Su Family worried that Mrs. Su might damage their reputation by speaking out; they agreed to pay the medical fees only if she stayed in their home or in a hospital designated by them.
But now, after so many years of cold treatment and injustice from the Su Family, plus this recent incident, Su Niannian believed that her mother must have seen the truth.
Breaking off pletely with the Su Family might be for the best.
On the other end of the call, Su Qing was slightly surprised.
Old Sir Su looked at Su Qing’s expression and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Does she disagree? Or does she want to use this as leverage to ask for more money?"
Su Qing put away his phone, his face a bit odd.
He shook his head, "Neither... She said she’s found another hospital... and from now on, she won’t have any involvement with the Su Family."
Hearing this, Old Sir Su was also a bit surprised.
Su Niannian and her mother had been trying to keep a low profile at the Su Family for eight years, even enduring bullying from servants without plaint.
He had not expected them to boldly stand up to the heir of the Su Family now.
Old Sir Su fell silent, then dismissed the concern from his mind, "She probably found some lesser-known private hospital... Since she said that, we’ll just leave it be."
Every hospital in the Capital City with conditions nearly the same as those they could access had been warned off by Old Sir Su, so Su Niannian and her mother certainly couldn’t access them.
Su Qing and Su Niannian rarely came to the Capital City, so it wasn’t impossible that a private hospital had deceived them.
Su Qing said no more.
He had agreed to help Su Niannian mainly to prevent her from tarnishing the Su Family’s reputation in front of esteemed guests.
Since Su Niannian won’t be causing any trouble, he also couldn’t be bothered to manage the rest.
"Let’s go; I’ll take you to the guest room to meet Lady Hai." Old Sir Su stood up, "Your parents and Uncle Chi, Aunt Chi are already there, probably chatting with Lady Hai now."
Su Qing, hearing this, stood up as well, "Shall I also call Chi Yan?"
"Good," Old Sir Su nodded.
-
At six in the evening.
Chi Gui took leave with Mr. Liu and returned to his house in the Capital City.
Shen Yun was already waiting at the door.
Without Chi Gui to lead him, he couldn’t enter.
