Gao Meng's response left Song Qiao speechless.
"Do you have to be so violent now?"
Gao Meng merely stuck out her tongue, making a shy yet cute expression.
Song Qiao reached out and tapped her on the head.
He shook his head, sighing a little.
Why did this girl now consider martial prowess the most important thing?
She wasn't like this before.
Was it his fault…
Thinking about this, he felt helpless.
He taught her martial arts only to give her more self-preservation ability, not to turn her into a female tyrannosaur who only solved problems with her fists.
One must know that in this world, fists alone are not enough; one also needs brains and wisdom to handle matters.
Humans are the most intelligent of all beings.
What does it mean to be the most intelligent? Isn't it being able to think, devise strategies, and reflect on oneself?
It seemed he needed to educate this girl more scientifically.
Although his mind was racing with stray thoughts, it didn't affect Song Qiao's conversation with Gao Meng.
He nodded, "Alright, let's go together then!"
Gao Meng had already found out that her grandfather lived in the First People's Hospital of Modu City.
This was the most famous hospital in Modu with the best medical facilities.
Its medical standards were renowned nationwide.
Of course, its exorbitant fees were also notorious.
For the Gao family, money was not an issue as long as it could help Grandpa Gao get better and be well taken care of.
The Gao family certainly didn't lack money.
Moreover, Grandpa Gao was the stabilizing force of the Gao family, and many people longed to curry favor with him.
So, although his hospitalization fees were quite high, the hospital used all the good resources it could.
It could even be said that with the old man staying there, the hospital had acquired several imported high-tech instruments.
Since Zheng Ci often visited the old man, Gao Meng naturally knew where his ward was.
It was still early.
They didn't drive but chose to take the subway.
According to Gao Meng, she hadn't taken a walk with Song Qiao in a long time. Since the distance to the subway station wasn't far, it was a good opportunity for exercise.
Song Qiao had no objections.
On the way, Gao Meng's expression became serious as she spoke to Song Qiao again about her grandfather's condition.
The old man had a stomach ailment.
Although stomach ailments were not considered major illnesses.
Song Qiao knew that with increasing age, a person's internal organs and digestive system gradually aged.
And the stomach, as an important digestive organ, was crucial for the body to absorb nutrients.
Insufficient nutrient intake would lead to a gradual decline in health.
Even though the Gao family had good living conditions and could afford doctors, they were powerless against this natural aging process.
Speaking of this, Gao Meng couldn't help but sigh.
Although she and her grandfather weren't particularly close, she was still reluctant to part with such an old man who was planning to leave a substantial fortune to her relatives.
But then again, she was still unsure of her grandfather's true intentions.
It made her current situation feel awkward, or rather, uncertain.
"I feel so nervous!" Gao Meng said.
"What's there to be nervous about? You're just meeting your grandfather. Didn't you want to see him yourself?" Song Qiao asked, a little perplexed.
"I did want to go, but I'm not sure how to face him now," Gao Meng shrugged.
"Yes, that's true, there's that problem. However, you should also understand that since he insisted on you inheriting most of the family fortune, it shows he has a certain level of approval for you, right? And your visit to him is a display of your filial piety. No matter what, he'll be happy, won't he?"
Hearing Song Qiao say this, Gao Meng felt a bit relieved. "That's true. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be afraid; I'd just fight. But facing Grandpa, I really don't know what to do..."
When Song Qiao heard this, he couldn't help but pat his forehead. "Good heavens, are you planning to 'punch the Southern Mountain Elderly Care Home and kick the Northern Sea Kindergarten'?"
Gao Meng couldn't help but laugh at Song Qiao's words. "Haha, that sounds quite interesting!"
As they spoke, the two arrived at the First People's Hospital of Modu City.
They bought a fruit basket and milk outside the hospital and carried them to the inpatient department. At this time, the hospital was bustling with people, with doctors, nurses, patients, and their families coming and going incessantly, truly "a marketplace teeming with visitors."
However, the anxiety and helplessness behind such a scene could only be understood by those directly involved.
The two went all the way to the special care ward on the top floor.
Grandpa Gao's illness was serious, but with the Gao family's resources, they naturally received the best service.
Thus, he had a private room and a room for his caregivers.
Outside the ward, several bodyguards stood guard.
As soon as Gao Meng and Song Qiao appeared, they became alert.
After all, not to mention Song Qiao, just Gao Meng herself exuded a strong martial aura.
Most importantly, they recognized Gao Meng.
They also knew that Gao Meng was not well-regarded by other members of the Gao family.
One of them said, "Miss Gao, please wait a moment. I will inform him for you."
Gao Meng's expression changed slightly. She wanted to see her grandfather but was stopped by bodyguards first?
"Alright, hurry up and inform him!" Gao Meng didn't want to talk much with these bodyguards.
As they were speaking, the ward door suddenly opened, and a slightly plump middle-aged man walked out.
He had heard the commotion outside and came out to see what was happening.
The moment he saw Gao Meng, his face changed. His eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately berated, "What are you doing here? You little b*tch, how dare you show your face here?"
Gao Meng turned her head, and anger surged within her.
This was her second uncle, Gao Yang.
He was Gao Run's father.
Gao Run had been bullying Gao Meng's family and had even hired people to dig up her father's grave. It was hard to say that this second uncle wasn't involved.
Therefore, although he was technically an elder, Gao Meng had long since considered their relationship severed.
Not to mention that she had only dealt with Gao Run and hadn't yet settled scores with this second uncle.
However, she hadn't figured out how to proceed.
She had to strike a balance, otherwise, she might truly anger or sadden her grandfather, which wouldn't be good.
But now, hearing him insult her the moment he opened his mouth, Gao Meng naturally refused to tolerate it. She said directly, "Watch your mouth, you disrespectful old man! I'm warning you, if you dare to curse again, don't blame me for taking action!"
The second uncle's anger flared up. "You beat Gao Run like that, and now you want to hit me? You've gone too far! I…"
Gao Yang pointed his finger at Gao Meng, about to curse further, but seeing Gao Meng's cold gaze, the insulting words got stuck in his throat.
Gao Meng, however, had no intention of letting his family off the hook. "Gao Run got what he deserved. It was merciful of me to spare her life!"
Gao Yang took a deep breath, his mind racing. He spoke again, "Gao Meng, you'll do anything to fight for the family fortune... I will settle accounts with you for Gao Run. But now, if you act so recklessly, the Gao family will be ruined. Hmph, your father, Gao Hai, deserved to be reduced to ashes for raising such a childish daughter!"
Facing Gao Yang's threats, especially when he mentioned her father, Gao Meng's anger surged to the heavens.
She abruptly raised her hand and slapped him.
*Slap!*
The next moment, the second uncle Gao Yang fell to the ground, groaning.
Gao Yang didn't react in time and couldn't dodge.
The bodyguards also didn't react in time.
"You, you've gone too far, how dare you hit me?" After recovering from the shock, Gao Yang said angrily as he tried to get up.
The bodyguards quickly went to help him.
Gao Meng watched him coldly, "I told you, watch your mouth!"
