“Someone ambushed me. Blackie helped me block it and fainted.”
“Looks like you have a good dog.”
“Of course. Blackie’s my best brother.”
Chu Luo thought: ‘If your real brothers outside the door hear this, I wonder what they will think?’
“I’m going to open the door. Are you sure you’re not getting up?”
“I’m getting up.”
Sun Tianhao gasped in pain. He slowly got up from the ground and walked to the sofa to lie down. Then, he looked at Chu Luo pleadingly. “Can you help me wake Blackie up first?”
Chu Luo nodded and walked up to Blackie. She flicked a pill at it.
In the next moment, Blackie suddenly got up from the ground and barked into the air.
“Shut up. Those things have been taken care of.”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, Blackie shut up and ran to Sun Tianhao’s side.
Chu Luo walked over to open the door.
It was still raining, but the rain was lighter than before.
The moment Chu Luo opened the door, she saw that the group of people outside was as motionless as statues. Even their eyes were fixed on the door.
She said, “Old Master Sun is fine.”
The group of people’s eyes moved first. After a while, joy and excitement appeared on their faces.
“Are you serious? Is our grandfather really fine?”
“Then can we go see Grandfather now?”
“Oh, I also have to tell First Aunt, Daddy, Mommy, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, and the others.”
…
“I say, you guys…”
Chu Luo couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded them, “You better go back and take a hot shower and change into a clean set of clothes. Before then, don’t enter this door.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We have cold air on us. We can’t bring it to see Grandfather.”
After saying that, they dispersed.
Chu Luo opened her mouth but didn’t have time to stop them.
There was no one outside the door. Chu Luo could only take an umbrella from the side and walk forward.
At this moment, there were only a few madams in the living room. They were pacing around anxiously.
Third Madam said, “I wonder how Father is doing?”
Fourth Madam’s tone was filled with worry and confusion. “Why are there so many outsiders here today? I don’t know if they did it on purpose. I wonder if the heads of the household can stop all of them?”
Second Madam: “Isn’t it fine if these people are just Daddy’s old subordinates? Why are the Qin and Duanmu families here too?”
Third Madam: “And that Blazing Glory Corporation’s Li Yan. I wonder what he’s here for!”
First Madam: “Did they already know about the Old Master and came here to find out?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she walked out.
When the madams saw Chu Luo, their eyes widened. Then, they thought of something bad and their expressions changed at the same time.
Chu Luo glanced at them and said, “Old Master Sun is fine.”
“Really?” The madams raised their voices at the same time, looking pleasantly surprised.
Chu Luo nodded but suddenly asked, “You said that Li Yan is here too?”
First Madam quickly replied, “Yes, but don’t worry, Little Chu. None of us let him in.”
“Is that so?”
Chu Luo walked out.
First Madam asked in a hurry, “Little Chu, what are you doing?”
“You can go and see Old Master Sun first. I’ll help you inform the others.”
“Thank you, Little Chu.”
The madams actually believed her and strode towards the backyard.
When Chu Luo walked to the front yard, she realized how hardcore the Sun family was.
The courtyard was filled with armed guards. Eldest Master Sun personally stood by the gate and stopped everyone.
When Chu Luo walked over, she happened to hear Eldest Master Sun saying sternly to an old man standing outside the door, “The Sun family isn’t entertaining guests today. Elder Meng, please leave.”
“Why are you so stubborn, you brat? I’ve been standing here for more than an hour. Let me go in and see Old Master Sun.
“Previously, you didn’t let us know about Old Master Sun’s surgery. Now that Old Master Sun has been discharged, you still don’t want me to see him. Aren’t you making me anxious?”
“Elder Meng, the doctor said that Father must recuperate quietly during this period of time. Only then can he recover quickly. You can go back first. When Father recovers, you can come and see him. You can even play chess with him.”
“No, I don’t feel reassured if I don’t see Old Master Sun. I must see him today.”
“Elder Meng, you…”
“Old Master Sun is sleeping. If you want to see him, stand by the door and take a look before leaving.”
When Eldest Master Sun heard Chu Luo’s voice, his serious expression disappeared. He suddenly turned around and asked with his eyes, “Little Chu, is my father alright?”
Chu Luo nodded at him and said, “You can let one or two people in to see Old Master Sun. Since they’re guests, it’s not good to keep them outside.”
“I like what this young lady says,” Elder Meng said with a smile. “That’s the logic. Although we know that Old Master Sun is weak now, we can rest assured if you let us go in and see him.”
The others immediately echoed him.
Only then did Eldest Master Sun really feel relieved. He turned around and said to Elder Meng and another old man, “Little Chu is a doctor. Since she has said so, I’ll let Elder Meng and Elder Li go in to see my father today. I can only apologize to the others.”
The other old men standing by the door were Old Master Sun’s old subordinates. They had rushed over because they had accidentally heard that Old Master Sun was about to die. Now that two people could enter, they were relieved and didn’t say anything else.
Eldest Master Sun led Elder Meng and Elder Li in.
Second Master Sun and Third Master Sun continued to block the door.
Chu Luo didn’t follow them in. Instead, she walked out of the door with an umbrella.
When she walked past a group of guards, she saw a familiar car parked not far away.
She subconsciously quickened her pace.
The car door opened at the same time.
Chu Luo put away the umbrella and got into the car.
Li Yan held her hands and asked, “Why aren’t you wearing a coat?”
Chu Luo had taken off her coat after entering Old Master Sun’s room. She had forgotten to put it on when she came out just now.
“I forgot.”
The moment she finished speaking, Li Yan pulled her into his arms.
Chu Luo stuck her cold hand into his coat and deliberately stuck it on his chest, which was covered by a thin shirt. She asked with a smile, “Is my hand cold?”
“No.”
Li Yan kissed her forehead and asked, “Has the matter here been resolved?”
“It’s almost done, but I still have to study Old Master Sun’s medicine with Professor Tang.”
“Mm, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
“Okay.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she rubbed her face against his chin wheedlingly and said, “Yan, I’m hungry.”
Li Yan picked up a thermos flask from the side.
Chu Luo’s eyes lit up when she saw the food container. She walked out of his arms, opened the food container, and ate a piece of cake with a fork.
Li Yan took out a thermos flask from the side. Inside was her favorite hot milk tea.
After Chu Luo was done eating, she was satisfied and prepared to get out of the car. However, Li Yan grabbed her hand and said, “Wait.”
After saying that, he took off his coat and put it on her before letting her off the car.
Chu Luo put on Li Yan’s coat and walked towards the Sun residence’s door with an umbrella.
Just as she reached the door, she saw a young man from the Sun family running out in large strides. When he saw Chu Luo, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Chu Luo, so you went out.”
After saying that, he realized that she was wearing a man’s coat and was a little surprised.
Chu Luo only nodded at him and the two of them walked back.
When they arrived at Old Master Sun’s courtyard and walked into the hall, everyone was there except for Sun Tianhao and Second Master Sun, who was guarding outside the door.
Everyone’s gazes fell on the man’s coat Chu Luo was wearing.
Chu Luo glanced at Elder Meng and Elder Li and said to the Sun family, “It’s best not to disturb Old Master Sun’s rest while he is recuperating.”
When Eldest Master Sun heard this, he said to Elder Meng and Elder Li, “Elder Meng, Elder Li, you’ve seen Father now. Why don’t you stop here today? You can come and see him again when Father’s health is better.”
Elder Meng and Elder Li were relieved to see that he was fine. After hearing Eldest Master Sun’s words, they left.
Chu Luo walked into the ward. Professor Tang was checking on Old Master Sun.
He said in an incredulous tone, “Little Chu, I didn’t expect you to know a special method to save people other than the ordinary methods. Are you a mystic doctor?”
Chu Luo smiled. “Sort of.”
Professor Tang nodded. He knew Chu Luo’s level very well and didn’t ask anything further.
The two of them discussed Old Master Sun’s subsequent use of medicine and how to have him recover before walking out together.
The elders of the Sun family invited the two of them to the living room in front.
Eldest Master Sun asked, “Little Chu, who wants our father’s life?”
When Eldest Master Sun asked this, the expressions of the others instantly became serious.
“The Qin family.”
“It’s indeed them!”
Second Master Sun patted the armrest of his chair with a furious expression. “Do they think our Sun family is easy to bully?!”
“Second Brother.” Eldest Master Sun called out to Second Master Sun and said, “Let’s talk about Father first.”
Second Master Sun nodded.
Chu Luo said something to Professor Tang and planned to leave. She said, “Someone is waiting for me outside. I’ll leave first.”
“Little Chu is talking about Li Yan, right?”
Chu Luo nodded at Eldest Master Sun and asked Professor Tang under their surprised gazes, “Professor Tang, are you coming with us?”
Professor Tang thought for a while and shook his head. “I’ll observe Old Master Sun again. I’ll go back in the afternoon.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked towards the door after Eldest Master Sun personally sent her off.
When the two of them walked into the courtyard, Eldest Master Sun suddenly asked in a serious tone:
“Little Chu, I heard that you and Li Yan are husband and wife?”
