Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Stir Up a Huge Commotion

Xiahou Yi’s surgery proposal was not approved.

Yin Hehe returned to the ward in a rage, and after that, she stayed inside for a long time.

In the evening, as the last streak of sunset faded, the man who had slept all afternoon on the hospital bed finally woke up.

"You’re awake?"

Yin Hehe heard this and stood up from the chair where she’d been sitting all afternoon, walking over to the bed.

The man opened his eyes under the blankets, and when he saw her, he was bewildered.

"How are you feeling? Better at all? You have been asleep all afternoon."

Yin Hehe, seeing him like this, bent over to help him sit up and asked tenderly.

The man blinked, his gaze sweeping around the room, finally recalling where he was.

"Give me a cup of water!" Once he made sense of his location, he swallowed with a dry throat, demanding something to drink.

Yin Hehe quickly went to the water dispenser to pour him a cup of water.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Perhaps he was really too thirsty, he managed to drink the entire cup in one go.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke," Yin Hehe said, feeling a bit sorry for him.

His brain was already damaged, and now he’d suffered a concussion from the car accident. Even if the injury was not severe, it would certainly be much more painful for him than for an ordinary person.

Fortunately, after drinking the cup of water, he seemed to feel much better.

"Where did you go just now?"

"Huh?" Yin Hehe was startled, "I haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve been right beside your bed."

"Liar!" Unexpectedly, the man immediately accused Yin Hehe of deceiving him.

"When I opened my eyes, I didn’t see you. Yin Hehe, do you always ignore my words?"

He was very angry, his gaze as sharp and predatory as if he was about to devour Yin Hehe.

Yin Hehe was a bit dazed.

She indeed stayed in the ward all afternoon. Could it be that he woke up again when she went out to discuss Xiahou Yi’s surgery with the dean?

Yin Hehe suddenly realized this possibility.

"Husband, I only stepped away for a moment... Xiahou Yi showed signs of waking up, so I went to check on him briefly,"

she could only explain to him.

As she finished speaking, the man’s expression finally softened a bit. However, perhaps hearing the name Xiahou Yi, a slight frown appeared between his handsome brows.

"And then?" he asked.

Yin Hehe was again taken aback for a moment.

"Then, the dean said he could undergo a second surgery, which would increase his chances of waking up, but Xiahou Jingmu refused because there was no immediate family member to sign the consent form for the surgery,"

she had no choice but to tell him the whole story.

Of course, this was just to let him know she hadn’t ignored his wish and walked away on a whim. As for the rest, she held little hope.

Yet, as soon as she finished speaking, the man’s handsome face darkened again.

"Why should he refuse? He’s not the old man’s son either. What right does he have to refuse?"

"Huh?" Yin Hehe was shocked.

He could now even understand such complex relationship dynamics and make counterarguments? That was a huge improvement!

Yin Hehe’s reaction came swiftly, and a tinge of surprise surged from the depths of her heart.

"There’s no other way. Since you haven’t acknowledged your father-son relationship with Xiahou Yi, then the people around him, Xiahou Jingmu, are the ones with the most authority to make decisions."

She sighed and patiently explained to the man.

"Why should I acknowledge a father-son relationship with him? That annoying old man from Shengfei Bay said he has raised me for decades. If I were to recognize another old man as my father, wouldn’t he break my legs?"

"..."

For a long time, Yin Hehe stared at this man, whose way of speaking was completely different from before, her face full of lively expressions!

She really felt like laughing.

Because she suddenly thought of their second son, Cen Bao. This little guy’s way of speaking was exactly like the little fellow’s, wasn’t it?

It was hilariously funny...

"You... make a lot of sense. One can’t just casually acknowledge someone else as their father."

"Exactly!" he immediately hummed proudly like a child who had received praise.

"So, what do you suggest we do now? It’s okay what this old man says about us, and he even saved your life once. It wouldn’t be good to just let him die."

Yin Hehe began to gently and skillfully persuade the man, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Because she realized that, aside from his language, certain things were also awakening within him.

"Isn’t that simple? Doesn’t he still have a useless son? His legs are disabled, not his hands. Drag him over to sign the form, can’t we? If he disagrees, we can still use two fingers to make a thumbprint."

"..."

Yin Hehe fell silent once again.

Because she genuinely hadn’t remembered that Xiahou Maolin, that waste, was still alive.

Yin Hehe then left, and quickly, she found the hospital director.

"Director, this surgical consent form can be signed by the old general’s eldest son, Xiahou Maolin. As long as he agrees, Xiahou Jingmu will have no right to stop it!"

"Oh right, I also forgot about that. Fine, I will go find him now!"

Indeed, the director was reminded as well, his eyes lighting up. He immediately took the consent form and personally went to find Xiahou Maolin.

Yin Hehe breathed a sigh of relief.

As she turned to head back to the ward, she encountered Xiahou Jingmu, coming her way in the hallway.

"Little auntie, you really like to oppose me, don’t you? Have you forgotten what you said to me that morning? You spare me, I spare you, and we can all live better."

His face was cold as he came up to Yin Hehe and asked sarcastically.

Yin Hehe’s complexion changed momentarily.

"I did say that, but now I’m saving a life. There’s no conflict with what I said before," she replied calmly.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than she saw a sharp, mocking smile cross the face of the man in front of her, now openly hostile.

"Are you trying to play me for a three-year-old child? Since you already know my ambition, you should be clear about how much his awakening—or lack thereof—affects me!"

"So, what you’re saying is, do you want to repay the elder who has carefully raised and looked after you since childhood with death? Xiahou Jingmu, even a dog knows gratitude, let alone you, a human being?"

"You—"

The moment these words were spoken, they utterly infuriated him, and the glare he shot her was filled with blatant murderous intent pouring out.

But it was at this moment that the door to a ward not far from them opened, and a man in a patient’s uniform, tall and imposing with an air of chill about him, stepped toward them.

"You try touching her again,"

Sheng Siyuan didn’t express much, but after arriving, he just looked expressionless and threw out these few words from his mouth!
