The illness that Elder Su suffered from was not difficult to treat.
However, due to lack of exercise while confined to bed, his bodily functions had significantly declined. Coupled with prolonged poisoning, even after Zhou Yu healed him with the Divine Needles of Bian Que, he would still be unable to walk for a period of time.
Su Yu Yan understood this situation perfectly.
Her grandfather's current state was not something that happened overnight; it was normal for him to require time for his body to recover.
In any case, as long as the elder could stand up again, that was enough.
From now on, she would take good care of her grandfather and would no longer allow those with malicious intent any opportunity to exploit them.
The Su family would definitely become better in the future!
Su Yu Yan was incredibly confident about this!
...
Inside the room.
After half an hour, Zhou Yu finally healed Elder Su.
He put away the golden needles and looked at Elder Su, raising his hand with a smile, "Grandpa Su, I have fulfilled my mission."
"Xiao Yu, thank you for your trouble," the elder said gratefully.
Although he could not walk yet, he felt that his body had become much more comfortable after Zhou Yu's treatment.
The feeling was quite marvelous.
Zhou Yu was indeed a disciple of that person!
The elder couldn't help but recall the time when he was treated by Zhou Yu's master in his youth.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
"It's nothing."
Zhou Yu walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea, poured himself a drink, and gulped it down.
He then asked Elder Su, "Grandpa Su, would you like some water?"
"No, I'm not thirsty," Elder Su shook his head.
Then, he stared at Zhou Yu, his eyes narrowing slightly.
With his illness healed, his mind became active.
Elder Su was, after all, an experienced man.
He could see the situation between Zhou Yu and his granddaughter at a glance.
Without asking, he knew that although Zhou Yu and Su Yu Yan had already registered their marriage, they had likely never even kissed!
This wouldn't do!
Elder Su had already decided that Zhou Yu was his grandson-in-law!
He couldn't let this excellent grandson-in-law slip away!
Moreover, due to the engagement, Zhou Yu was rightfully the son-in-law of the Su family.
For this reason, Elder Su felt that something must be done to accelerate the emotional development between his granddaughter and Zhou Yu.
Once Su Yu Yan was carrying Zhou Yu's child, everything would be settled.
"A disciple of that person is naturally extraordinary, and Zhou Yu's current performance leaves nothing to be desired. It's really Yu Yan; she's still so shy and won't take the initiative. Do I, an old man, have to help her?"
Thinking this to himself, Elder Su felt a bit dissatisfied with his granddaughter.
However, he quickly dismissed this thought.
It was because Su Yu Yan had lost her birth mother when she was a teenager, and Su Qi Shan quickly married another woman. In retrospect, Su Qi Shan owed his daughter.
To cooperate with the Zhang family, Su Qi Shan was willing to marry his daughter to Zhang Shao Hua, rather than fulfill the engagement.
His eldest son's actions had caused the entire Su family to become a heavy burden on his granddaughter, which made Elder Su feel very guilty.
Su Qi Shan was his son, and Su Yu Yan was his granddaughter.
All in all, it was he and the Su family who had wronged Su Yu Yan.
But from now on, everything would change!
Elder Su would once again shoulder the entire Su family for his granddaughter!
"Grandpa Su, are you lost in thought?"
Seeing Elder Su in a daze, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's nothing, nothing. I was just reminiscing about some past events. I never expected that so many years had passed since I met your master, and his disciple is already this old," Elder Su sighed.
He couldn't reveal his thoughts to Zhou Yu.
Otherwise, the latter would think of him as a strange old man!
He had to act stealthily...
Having made up his mind, Elder Su then said, "Xiao Yu, since I'm alright now, go and tell Yu Yan and Qi Chuan. Don't let them worry outside."
"Okay, Grandpa Su, I'll go and tell Yu Yan now," Zhou Yu nodded.
It had been inconvenient to treat Elder Su earlier.
Therefore, he had asked everyone from the Su family to leave, leaving only himself and the elder in the room.
Now was the time for everyone to come in.
A few minutes later.
Su Yu Yan, Su Qi Chuan, and Su Xing Yang entered the room together.
"Grandpa, your illness is cured?"
Seeing Elder Su sitting on the bed with a rosy complexion, Su Yu Yan exclaimed in surprise.
The elder's current state was vastly different from before.
Without a doubt, this must all be Zhou Yu's doing.
Su Yu Yan turned and gave Zhou Yu a grateful look, then quickly walked to the bedside and slowly squatted down.
"Look how worried my granddaughter is! Isn't Zhou Yu here? What, you don't believe he can cure me?" Elder Su affectionately stroked Su Yu Yan's head.
Su Yu Yan wrinkled her delicate nose and pouted, "Grandpa, I didn't!"
"Really?" Elder Su didn't believe her.
"He... he..."
Su Yu Yan wanted to say, "He's my husband, how could I not believe him."
But the words got stuck in her throat.
In front of her grandfather, uncle, and cousin, she was too shy to express her feelings.
In her opinion, she and Zhou Yu were still a couple by agreement, and saying so would undoubtedly be a direct confession.
Furthermore, it would put Zhou Yu in an awkward position.
Su Yu Yan didn't want to make things difficult for him.
"He what? Oh dear, my darling granddaughter, you're making your grandpa anxious!"
Elder Su thought this to himself but could only say aloud, "He's very capable, isn't he?"
Su Yu Yan was suddenly startled.
Then, she nodded slightly with a blank expression, "Mm."
If Zhou Yu weren't capable.
How could he have single-handedly dealt with the dozens of thugs and two martial arts experts from the Zhang family?
If Zhou Yu weren't capable.
How could he have cured the mayor of Yunhai City and Elder Su with his superb medical skills?
But her grandfather's question left Su Yu Yan somewhat puzzled.
At this moment, Su Qi Chuan also walked forward, wanting to check on Elder Su.
However, before he could speak, Elder Su said, "Qi Chuan, your father and I have plenty of time to talk. Xiao Yu is a great benefactor to our Su family. It's all thanks to him that I've recovered this time."
"Yes, yes, yes! Father, you're right. Our Su family should definitely thank Xiao Yu properly," Su Qi Chuan agreed.
At the same time.
Su Xing Yang also sidled up to Zhou Yu and whispered, "Hey, brother-in-law, thank you."
He was naturally very happy that his grandfather had recovered.
"It's a small matter. As family, there's no need to thank each other," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
His words "as family" struck a chord with Su Xing Yang.
"My sister really didn't misjudge you."
Just as Su Xing Yang was about to say something else, Elder Su spoke again.
"Alright, Qi Chuan, you and Xing Yang take Xiao Yu out to rest for a while. It's almost lunchtime now. You must arrange things properly so he doesn't go hungry."
