Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Qiaoqiao is the Lucky Star

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan returned to the Bai Family together and went to see Grandpa Bai.

Grandpa Bai was standing at the door anxiously waiting until he saw Nan Qiao, then walked over excitedly.

Because he walked too fast, he almost fell.

Li Yehan quickly stepped forward and supported Grandpa Bai.

Nan Qiao approached anxiously and said in a gentle and concerned voice, "Grandpa, please take it slow."

"I was too panicked, thank goodness Yehan supported me," Grandpa Bai said excitedly.

Nan Qiao said, "Grandpa, let’s go in and check on Granny first, last time I left a set of medical supplies with you."

Grandpa Bai led the two inside.

Nan Qiao went in first to check on Granny while Li Yehan and Grandpa Bai waited at the door.

Housekeeper Ma brought two chairs over for them to sit and wait.

Grandpa Bai, worried about Granny Bai’s safety, refused to go to the living room, wanting to wait for the results first.

Li Yehan sat there with him, the two sat in silence, quietly waiting.

Inside the room at that time.

Nan Qiao administered acupuncture to Granny, helping her long-immobile body to relax, and then called her master, Tang Helin.

"Master, have the medicine you were preparing for my granny been completed?"

"Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry, the medicine isn’t ready yet; we are missing one herb, and its flowering season hasn’t arrived yet; we can only wait a bit longer," Tang Helin was also anxious for Nan Qiao.

"My granny is already showing signs of awakening; Grandpa said today her hand moved."

"Really? That’s wonderful news, it must be because you treated your granny upon returning that her condition improved."

Tang Helin sighed and said, "We have to wait for the medicine, Qiaoqiao, don’t be anxious, stabilize your granny’s condition first to ensure the success of the follow-up treatment."

"Master, thank you for your hard work."

"Silly girl, there’s no need for such formalities with me. It’s actually your formulation I am working on; if it can be made, it will be a major contribution to medicine, benefiting the patients immensely."

Nan Qiao, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Tang Helin’s praise, modestly replied, "Master, it’s you who made significant contributions to the medical field. I’m just learning from you, without you, where would I be today?"

"You are always so humble. As soon as the medicine is ready, I’ll call you immediately."

"Thank you, Master."

After speaking a little more, Nan Qiao hung up the phone.

She removed the silver needles, and Granny’s hand was still moving.

Nan Qiao quickly stepped outside and called out, "Grandpa, come in first."

Grandpa Bai immediately entered, excitedly asking, "Qiaoqiao, has Granny woken up?"

"Grandpa, Granny has been unconscious for too long, she will need more time to fully awaken. She’s starting to be conscious now; you should talk to her more, call her, and encourage her will to live."

With teary eyes, Grandpa Bai walked to the bedside and slowly sat down.

Seeing that Granny Bai’s hand was still moving, he excitedly held her hand.

"Qiaoqiao, your Granny’s hand has been moving, much better than before. I believe she will wake up soon; Qiaoqiao, you are the lucky star for your Granny, and for our whole family," Grandpa Bai said excitedly.

As soon as Grandpa Bai finished speaking, he noticed tears at the corner of Granny Bai’s eyes, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe them away.

"Xiao Qin, Qiaoqiao is our granddaughter, our biological granddaughter; Yu Rou got switched with Qiaoqiao when they were babies. Qiaoqiao is really wonderful, you’ll surely like her too once you see her wake up."

Nan Qiao knelt by the bed and said gently, "Granny, it’s me, Qiaoqiao. I hope you can wake up soon. Grandpa said your big plate chicken is delicious, and I want to try it too. Granny, I can cook a lot of dishes too. When you wake up, I’ll cook for you."

"Xiao Qin, did you hear that? We are all waiting for you to wake up."

Grandpa Bai’s voice choked up, unable to continue speaking. He feared that if he kept going, he would lose control of his emotions.

"Qiaoqiao, Ye Han, you guys go back and rest first. I want to talk to your granny some more, so I won’t see you out."

Li Yehan responded, "Grandpa Bai, you take good care of Granny Bai. I’ll visit Granny Bai another day."

Nan Qiao said, "Grandpa, I’ll take Li Yehan home. You stay and keep Granny company."

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan left.

...

The two walked on a bridge over a pond, where the evening breeze stirred the water and plants, causing them to sway and dance.

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand as they strolled along.

Nan Qiao was profoundly despondent; she had saved so many people yet was powerless to make her granny wake up immediately.

Perceiving Nan Qiao’s mood, Li Yehan said, "Qiaoqiao, don’t blame yourself. It’s already great that there has been some improvement in your granny’s condition after being comatose for so long. Without you, she wouldn’t be getting better by the day."

"I came back and brought Granny home, only for her to be poisoned. The person who poisoned her must definitely be from the Bai Family. Moreover, this person doesn’t want Granny to wake up because she must know something!"

Li Yehan replied, "Your analysis makes a lot of sense. It must be Bai Yurou."

Nan Qiao asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Li Yehan answered, "She has the most motive. If it weren’t for your return, the health of the other members of the Bai Family would have deteriorated day by day, and only she would benefit."

Nan Qiao had also considered this possibility, and combining some of Bai Yurou’s actions, she suspected her.

While walking, they saw Bai Yurou and Chen Xinwan coming towards them.

Nan Qiao released Li Yehan’s hand and said to him, "Be mindful of our image."

Li Yehan suddenly felt he had no formal status and Nan Qiao didn’t want to give him one.

Bai Yurou greeted them with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, you’re back. Why didn’t you come home? Did you visit Grandpa?"

Chen Xinwan said, "Qiaoqiao, I heard from the housekeeper that you were back, so I specifically came to see if there was any situation with Granny."

Chen Xinwan was very concerned, and she had come over also at Bai Yurou’s suggestion.

Chen Xinwan simply assumed Bai Yurou was worried about Granny Bai and didn’t think more about it.

Nan Qiao explained, "I hadn’t visited Granny for a few days, so I specifically went to see her. Li Yehan was giving me a ride back, and he came along."

Li Yehan added, "My grandfather has been quite busy lately and couldn’t visit my Granny Bai, so he specifically asked me to check on her."

Together, the two managed to divert attention from Granny Bai’s actual situation, keeping others from knowing the truth.

Bai Yurou glanced suspiciously at Li Yehan, then at Nan Qiao.

Their faces revealed no unusual expressions. Could it be true?

Bai Yurou said with a smile, "Sister, brother-in-law, if Granny knew how filial you are, she would definitely wake up sooner."

Nan Qiao shook her head helplessly, "Granny’s situation is a bit complicated."

Chen Xinwan was also aware of Granny’s condition. The doctor had concluded that it was highly unlikely she would wake up—the probability was one percent.

Even though her daughter was a medical miracle worker, Chen Xinwan dared not hold out hope and didn’t want to stress her daughter.

Bai Yurou breathed a sigh of relief and cheerfully added, "Sister, you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself either. Granny definitely wouldn’t want to see you unhappy over her situation."
