Two days later.
The inner courtyard of the Su family.
"Su Yuyan, your courage is really growing! You didn't even get my and your father's permission to find a doctor for your grandfather, and you went ahead and made arrangements, even inviting them to our home! You're asking for death!"
Zhang Rufeng, hands on her hips, berated Su Yuyan.
She had just learned that Su Yuyan had found a famous doctor for Old Master Su, and one who was scheduled to visit soon.
As the matriarch of the Su family, how could Zhang Rufeng not be angry?
What was even more infuriating was that she had asked Su Yuyan to dismiss the doctor and send them back where they came from.
But this stubborn girl…
Didn't listen at all!
"What business is it of yours that I found someone to treat my grandfather? Don't think that just because my dad likes you, my grandfather and I will like you too!" Su Yuyan retorted.
"Hey! You're talking back to me again!" Zhang Rufeng was furious.
When did her authority in the Su family become so disregarded?
She had only just disciplined the Xue Renliu couple a couple of days ago and hadn't had enough of it!
"Today, I'll definitely let you know that a stepmother is also a mother!"
Zhang Rufeng's anger flared, and she moved as if to strike Su Yuyan.
But before her palm could land, Su Qishan called out to stop.
"Su Qishan! Your daughter secretly found a doctor for her grandfather, are you going to do something about it?"
Zhang Rufeng said, hands clasped in front of her chest, her voice huffing.
If Su Qishan hadn't been there, her palm might have actually landed on Su Yuyan's face.
But in front of him, Zhang Rufeng couldn't act too rashly.
After all, this daughter was not hers, but his husband's from his previous wife.
"Yuyan, is it true what your mother said?" Su Qishan looked at his daughter.
"She's not my mother," Su Yuyan shot a glare at Zhang Rufeng, then turned to her father and said, "Dad, Grandpa has been bedridden for years. If we don't find him a doctor soon, he'll probably never be able to stand up in his life."
Su Yuyan was not foolish.
The reason Zhang Rufeng was so angry was not because she feared Old Master Su might stand up again?
If that happened, her status as the matriarch of the Su family would instantly diminish.
In fact, if Old Master Su hadn't been paralyzed, Su Qishan wouldn't have been in charge, and Zhang Rufeng would have no say in the Su family!
"Nonsense! Do you think I don't know these things you're talking about?"
Su Qishan's face also showed a hint of anger.
But seeing that his daughter was unmoved, he quickly put on a smile and said in a low voice, "Yuyan, he's your grandfather, and my father. Would I harm him? If there's a miraculous doctor who can cure him, wouldn't I seek one out?"
"Dad, I naturally trust you, but I don't trust others," Su Yuyan said pointedly.
The "others" she was referring to.
Besides Zhang Rufeng, who else could it be?
In fact, Su Yuyan had long suspected.
It was Zhang Rufeng who had been constantly whispering in her father's ear, preventing him from continuing to find doctors for her grandfather.
"Others? Who are these others? We are all family, and family should be harmonious, don't you think?"
Seeing that his daughter still wouldn't give Zhang Rufeng a good look, Su Qishan could only say earnestly, "Yuyan, your mother's departure made me sad for a long time, but you have to understand, our Su family is a large and influential one. Without a matriarch, other families in Yunhai City would laugh at us."
"Dad, I understand," Su Yuyan finally sighed.
She naturally understood how difficult it was for her father to support the vast Su family alone.
However…
If the Su family needed to sacrifice her future happiness to become stronger,
Su Yuyan was a thousand times unwilling.
Moreover, she even suspected that her father had been brainwashed by that woman, Zhang Rufeng.
Because Old Master Su was not only her grandfather, but also Su Qishan's biological father!
"It's good that you understand. How about this, tell that famous doctor not to come today, and we'll still pay the consultation fee, how about it?" Su Qishan said happily.
What he cared about was definitely not the consultation fee.
But rather – no miraculous doctor was allowed to treat Old Master Su!
He, Su Qishan, had not had enough of being the head of the Su family yet.
If Old Master Su recovered and could walk again.
Wouldn't he have to take back control of the Su family then?
Those old fossils in Su's company would surely support Old Master Su and make him step down.
That was a result Su Qishan absolutely did not want to see.
Therefore, he had to ensure that his father would never stand up again, until the day he entered the coffin!
"The doctor I found for Grandpa is a true miraculous doctor. Dad, please let him treat Grandpa, okay?" Su Yuyan pleaded.
In the end, she still hoped her father would change his mind.
She had always felt that without Zhang Rufeng, her father wouldn't have become like this.
"Miraculous doctor? Your dad just said it casually, and you're taking it further! Yuyan, I think you've been tricked by someone!" Zhang Rufeng chimed in.
Before Su Qishan arrived, all she heard was the word "famous doctor."
Now it had become "miraculous doctor."
"Dad, he really is a miraculous doctor, I can guarantee it!" Su Yuyan swore.
The illness of the mayor of Yunhai City was something many experts from the Fifth Hospital couldn't solve.
And he could cure it!
Su Yuyan had absolute confidence in his medical skills.
"Stop talking. I'm your father, listen to me, send that person back. Our Su family doesn't need any miraculous doctor," Su Qishan said.
He naturally didn't believe his daughter could find a so-called miraculous doctor.
Besides, compared to a miraculous doctor, he would rather have a famous doctor treat Old Master Su.
Because ordinary famous doctors would definitely not be able to diagnose the cause of the illness.
Otherwise, when Old Master Su first fell ill, so many famous doctors would not have just shaken their heads after seeing him.
"Dad!" Su Yuyan still wanted to argue.
But Su Qishan delivered his final ultimatum.
"If you dare to let that damned miraculous doctor come here, I'll have someone beat him up and throw him out!"
"Right! How dare he try to scam our Su family's consultation fee! We must teach that damned miraculous doctor a lesson!" Zhang Rufeng seconded.
But in the next second.
A familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the inner courtyard.
"Uncle Su, who were you saying you were going to beat up just now?"
Zhou Yu looked at Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng, with a harmless smile on his face.
Besides him, who else could be the miraculous doctor Su Yuyan had found?
Today was the day Zhou Yu had agreed upon with Su Yuyan.
"How did you get here… Zhou Yu! It's you! Are you the miraculous doctor Yuyan mentioned?" Su Qishan exclaimed in shock.
No matter how he guessed, he could never have imagined that the miraculous doctor his daughter mentioned would be Zhou Yu.
And Zhang Rufeng, standing beside him, was equally incredulous.
Wasn't Zhou Yu a martial artist?
When did he become a miraculous doctor?
No!
It must be fake!
"Su Qishan, don't let your daughter and this brat trick you! He's a miraculous doctor, and I'm a female war god!" Zhang Rufeng mocked.
Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback.
This Zhang Rufeng was really audacious.
How could she joke about being a female war god so casually?
