Chapter 170: Chapter 170: A False Front of Peace

The old lady awoke at noon the next day, with both Su Mu and Fu Shinian by her side, neither of them having left for a moment, taking turns to rest briefly in the next room when tired. Su Mu was the first to see the old lady open her eyes and excitedly shouted,

"Grandma is awake."

Hearing her voice, Fu Shinian, who had been sitting on the couch working on his laptop, put down his computer and quickly walked over to stand next to Su Mu, leaning down slightly to look at the old lady:

"Grandma, you’re awake, how do you feel?"

The old lady seemed a bit overwhelmed, especially since everything in her immediate view was entirely unfamiliar, which made her anxious. Sensing the change in the old lady, Su Mu hurriedly took her hand and comforted her,

"Grandma, don’t worry, we’re in the hospital."

"Hospital?" The old lady became even more puzzled: "Why would I be in the hospital?"

"You’ve been asleep for two days and nights, Shinian and I were terrified." Now even speaking about it, Su Mu couldn’t help but worry: "How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

The old lady shook her head, but said nothing. Su Mu and Fu Shinian exchanged glances, feeling that something was not quite right. Before either could ask further questions, the old lady spoke:

"Help me sit up for a while."

Fu Shinian responded and walked to the foot of the bed to adjust its height, while Su Mu added a pillow for support behind the old lady. Once everything was arranged, the old lady’s gaze finally rested on them. Seeing their worried looks, she couldn’t help but smile:

"Why are you two looking at me like that? Am I not all right?"

Fu Shinian was still not at ease:

"Grandma, are you sure you don’t feel anything?"

"I’m really fine. If you don’t believe me, call the doctor to give me a thorough check-up. Since we’re at the hospital, we might as well make the visit worthwhile, right?"

Su Mu glanced at Fu Shinian and spoke softly,

"Grandma, while you were sleeping, you’ve already been examined. You’re very healthy. The doctor said you’re probably just tired, which is why you slept longer. It’s a symptom that occasionally happens to elderly people. Don’t worry."

The old lady reached out to touch Su Mu’s head:

"Grandma is not worried. Right now, Grandma is just worried about you two."

Su Mu clasped her grandma’s hand back:

"We’re doing fine."

Although the old lady seemed no different from before, Fu Shinian still called for Qiao Yu and Doctor Zhang. After asking some questions and conducting a few diagnostic tests, the conclusion remained unchanged—the old lady was very healthy.

In the corridor outside the sick room, Doctor Zhang left first, while Qiao Yu stood opposite Fu Shinian. Knowing his worried expression, he spoke softly,

"Don’t think too much; it might really be a coincidence. The old lady just had a long sleep, and you’ve seen the results—she’s very healthy in every examination."

"I always feel there’s more to it than that."

"But the facts are right in front of us." Qiao Yu looked at Fu Shinian: "Haven’t your people been monitoring Qin Nianwan consistently? She hasn’t been contacted the whole time, so it couldn’t have been that person. Besides, she has no reason to do such a thing. Are you being too anxious?"

Fu Shinian shook his head, but ultimately did not continue on the topic, saying softly,

"In any case, just to be safe, I would like the old lady to stay here for a couple more days."

"That’s naturally fine. I’m just worried the old lady can’t stay put."

Indeed, as Qiao Yu had said, the old lady did not want to spend another moment in the hospital, even though the top floor was dedicated to serving the Fu family, and even though the hospital room looked no different from an ordinary apartment. However, it just couldn’t compare to being at home.

Fu Shinian tried to convince her time and again, but still could not prevail. In the end, it was Su Mu who stepped in to smooth things over, calling Fu Shinian out to the corridor and saying,

"I believe grandmother’s health is indeed fine now. If she does not wish to stay any longer, then let’s go back. If you’re worried, we can arrange for nurses and doctors to take shifts at the old residence. It’s better for grandmother to rest there without her mood being affected rather than staying here."

Fu Shinian watched her, and remained silent.

Su Mu, not getting a response, slightly lifted her eyes to look at him, only to find that his gaze was fixed intently on her. Puzzled and feeling that he might not want to hear what she was saying, she pursed her lips and added a few more words,

"Of course, this is just my own thought. You don’t have to listen to it. I can also help to persuade grandmother later. I think..."

"What about you?" Fu Shinian suddenly spoke, interrupting Su Mu, causing her a moment of revulsion. She looked at him, her gaze full of confusion,

"What?"

"You. If grandmother goes back to the old house to recuperate, and we have nurses and doctors taking shifts, of course, I will naturally move back to the old house too, as I can’t be at ease. What about you?" Fu Shinian’s gaze was scorching as he looked at her, "Will you go back? Or will you continue to go to Wei Shaoqin’s Glass House?"

Su Mu had not pondered this question, but as soon as Fu Shinian asked, the answer seemed to be on the tip of her tongue,

"If grandmother’s health has any issues, naturally I cannot let her worry over your and my affairs. I will go back to the old house until grandmother has completely recovered."

Fu Shinian watched her, his gaze deep. Seconds later, he took steps toward the hospital room. Su Mu did not move, but through the door that Fu Shinian had not closed, she also heard the phrase "Grandma, let’s go home."

Fu Shinian and Su Mu moved back to the old residence because of the old lady’s illness. Although to outsiders, the two seemed no different from before, perhaps only they knew that their situation had not improved much; it’s still like on the old lady’s birthday, one sleeping on the sofa, the other on the bed.

They were just putting on a façade in front of the old lady.

But Su Mu couldn’t tell if it was her misperception, she always felt that Fu Shinian had changed somewhat, not as aggressive as before. Of course, it could also be due to grandmother’s situation that made him temporarily kind.

Fu Shinian learned of Qin Nianwan’s incident three days later when Song Yi came to the old residence to deliver a document for him to sign. In the study, after taking the document, Song Yi mentioned,

"Mr. Fu, Qin Nianwan had an incident."

Hearing this, Fu Shinian lazily glanced at Song Yi,

"What happened?"

Song Yi briefly explained to Fu Shinian the incident of Qin Nianwan accompanying a drink, and then said,

"I investigated afterward, the drinking session was clearly priced, and the fee paid to Qin Nianwan was 2 million yuan outright. Supposedly it was just for accompanying a drink, but somehow she ended up staying in a hotel room all night and didn’t come out. The next morning, Wei Shaoqin entered Qin Nianwan’s room."

Fu Shinian slightly raised his eyebrows,

"Does this matter also involve him?"
