Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Her Achievements Should Not Be Buried
Su Mu couldn’t deny that their marriage was harmonious, but even so, something was still missing between Jiang Bei and Ji Nanfeng. Perhaps there were feelings, but it probably wasn’t love.
So Jiang Bei was right, emotional matters really can’t be obtained just through effort. Su Mu believed that Jiang Bei had also tried her best in her marriage, yet her efforts were in vain. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said what she did just now.
But if Jiang Bei couldn’t accomplish it, could she?
Or would she eventually face the same outcome as Jiang Bei?
And then there were the things Rong Shen told her about what had happened three years ago. At first, she couldn’t believe it, but after thinking it through, what reason would he have to joke with her about such things? She pondered it over and over but still couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it. Was it really as she had thought, or was it possible that she hadn’t even touched on the truth?
Some things you can’t figure out, you just shouldn’t think about. This had been the most self-forgiving thing Su Mu had done over the past three years. She was no longer stubborn, no longer set limits for herself, and no longer insisted on having an answer. She became more and more like a Buddhist, believing that if something was meant for her to know, she would find out eventually. And what wasn’t meant for her, no matter how hard she tried, she would never understand.
Chasing away all the chaotic thoughts from her mind, Su Mu took a deep breath and then stepped into a nearby restaurant to pack dinner for Wen Han.
When she returned to the hospital, Wen Han was quietly reading, propped up in bed. The sound of Su Mu entering woke him up, and he looked up at her. In that moment their eyes met, both of them smiled faintly. Just having confirmed their relationship, their interactions were somewhat awkward. Su Mu avoided his gaze as she walked over to place the food on the bedside table. As she was about to say something, Wen Han spoke first:
"Susu, come here."

When Fu Shinian arrived at the old lady’s residence, she was resting, so he waited there. He had thought it wouldn’t take long, but unexpectedly, he ended up waiting until it got dark. Perhaps it was the worries of these past few years that made him always have some uneasiness about such deep sleep. Just as he was about to call Qiao Yu over, Qiao Yu appeared at the doorway.
Seeing how Fu Shinian picked up the phone and then put it down, Qiao Yu arched an eyebrow:
"Were you about to call me?"
"Yes, I’ve been here since the afternoon, and it’s been over three hours, but the old lady still hasn’t woken up."
On hearing this, Qiao Yu didn’t show any signs of worry and calmly stepped inside after changing his shoes, saying indifferently:
"That’s normal."
"Normal? The old lady’s napping has never lasted more than an hour before."
"That was before." Qiao Yu stood at the door to the old lady’s bedroom, carefully pushed it open a crack to peek inside, then gently closed it again, and sat down next to Fu Shinian. "It only takes 21 days to form a person’s biological clock. But for most of the past three years, the old lady has been in a drowsy state, and a large part of that time was spent sleeping. Even though the virus is now cleared from her body, the body still has a memory function. I don’t think this is a bad thing."
Qiao Yu looked at Fu Shinian:
"Even if you’re worried, you have to adjust slowly. Anyway, I think as long as the old lady’s health is good, whatever lifestyle is fine."
Hearing Qiao Yu say this, Fu Shinian gradually felt relieved and nodded:
"You’ve worked hard these past three years."
Qiao Yu looked at Fu Shinian as if he were a strange creature: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Fu Shinian looked at him sincerely: "I won’t forget the help you and Nanfeng have given me during this time. Without you, I might not have been able to save my grandmother so successfully."
"So, how do you plan to thank me?"
Fu Shinian smiled slightly:
"When she wakes up, I’ve decided to let her give you Shi Lihua’s research data from years ago."
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at Fu Shinian as if he had just suggested something unimaginable. After a few seconds, he reacted and showed a surprised expression:
"Really? You’re not joking?"
Fu Shinian nodded: "No joke."
The old lady had kept those documents for many years, and they hadn’t been destroyed because their existence indeed had value. Although not perfect, they had still contributed to society. They hadn’t continued with the research simply because the old lady didn’t want any further involvement with Shi Lihua. They just let them sit there. Now that everything had settled down, such a promising project should indeed continue, and who better to take it over than Qiao Yu?
For someone in the medical field, the chance to have research that could change the world was a dream. Qiao Yu was a mere mortal. He didn’t seek fame or profit, just hoping to improve the drugs originally developed by Shi Lihua, which had side effects, and to benefit society as soon as possible.
"You do have a conscience." Qiao Yu smiled. "But even if I develop it one day, I will attribute it to Shi Lihua’s name. I won’t take the credit."
He wouldn’t speak a good word for Shi Lihua’s misdeeds, but the contributions she made to society shouldn’t be buried. Besides, Qiao Yu disdained robbing others of their credit.
Fu Shinian had anticipated that Qiao Yu would react this way and smiled slightly:
"That I’ll leave to you. Do as you wish."
Auntie Lin approached them at that moment to ask if Fu Shinian wanted dinner. He wasn’t hungry and glanced at Qiao Yu: "Have you eaten?"
Qiao Yu shook his head: "Just something light is fine, no trouble."
Fu Shinian nodded at Auntie Lin: "Please decide for yourself."
After Auntie Lin left, Qiao Yu glanced towards the direction of the old lady:
"Shi Lihua and Xu Yansu are now in police custody, and they can’t escape their charges and legal punishments. But what about Auntie Wang? Even if she has worked for the Fu family for 40 years, she can’t escape responsibility for harming the old lady and causing your family to fall apart."
Ever since Fu Shinian had taken over the old house again, Auntie Wang had been confined there by him, not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. She hadn’t been dealt with yet because Fu Shinian didn’t know how to handle it, as Auntie Wang and Shi Lihua were different.
Now that Qiao Yu had brought up the issue, Fu Shinian was also unsure of what to say, as he had not yet decided.
From the beginning, when he found out it was Auntie Wang, Fu Shinian had some disbelief. After all, she had been working for the Fu family for 40 years, and the Fu family had treated her like family, never mistreating her in life or in emotions. Yet despite that, she chose to betray.
