Chapter 478: If They Aren't Your Own Flesh and Blood, They Can't Be Raised to Be Loyal

"What a truly good child," Shen Mu praised sincerely, "much better than that ingrate Shen Yuan. She ate our food and used our things since she was small, but now that she's grown and her wings have hardened, she just up and left."

Then she delivered her verdict, "If they aren't your own flesh and blood, they just can't be raised to be loyal!"

Shen Yun had finally been seeing a partner introduced by the villagers, and things were heating up; she didn't want to keep taking care of her brother at the hospital.

The main thing was that although Shen Lan had woken up, the doctor said he had inhaled harmful gases into his lungs, and it was unknown how long he would have to be hospitalized.

"Fine, then let Xiao Yu stay and take care of him."

Xiao Yu sat by the hospital bed, looking at the oxygen mask still covering Shen Lan's nose, "Dad, do you have to wear this all the time?"

Shen Lan said with great effort, "Yes, Dad damaged his respiratory system in the fire, *huff*—it's even hard to talk, I expect I'll have to be on oxygen for a while."

What a waste, Liang Yu thought to herself.

"Dad, everything will get better."

Shen Lan was deeply moved; before he fell ill, the person he relied on most in his heart was his son, Shen Chi.

Although his son only knew how to eat and spend money, as long as he stood there, he was the incense and hope of the Shen family.

But only now, after experiencing death and lying on a hospital bed not knowing when he would recover, did he feel that a daughter was more thoughtful.

Watching his daughter sitting by his side feeding him porridge, Shen Lan thought, what is the use of having a son!

"Xiao Yu, don't be too tired either. Tomorrow, go find your sister Shen Yuan and bring her back; you two can take turns taking care of me."

Liang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to Dad."

After Shen Lan finished his porridge and lay down to rest, feeling satisfied, Liang Yu sat by the bed and looked at the oxygen mask on his face.

She wondered how long Shen Lan could live if he didn't have this oxygen.

After all, the reason she had suffered so much and endured so many hardships in her childhood was because this man couldn't control his lower half.

Only, if Shen Lan died, Shen Chi would surely be sad again, right?

Just as Liang Yu's hand was placed on the oxygen mask on Shen Lan's face, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

It was Shen Chi.

He didn't say anything, he just pulled Liang Yu out.

"Xiao Yu, Mom is already dead. It was indeed wrong of them to lose us back then, but at least they didn't take our lives, right? People make mistakes, turn back, Xiao Yu."

Liang Yu tilted her head to look at him, and then suddenly she laughed.

"I originally thought I understood you, but now I find I still don't understand enough," Liang Yu shrugged her shoulders, "You're right, just now I was just having a momentary lapse in judgment; I won't be like this in the future."

Shen Chi heard the words he wanted to hear, but he found that he no longer dared to believe her.

"Xiao Yu, you're tired too. I'll take care of Dad these next few days."

To be on the safe side, he also went to find Shen Yuan.

"Dad is currently hospitalized, and his condition isn't very good. Can you come to the hospital and take care of him with me? Dad misses you very much."

Shen Yuan's eyes were full of mockery, "Misses me? Isn't his biological daughter Liang Yu? Since he already drove me out for your sake, then I am not his daughter, and I certainly won't go take care of him."

Shen Chi, who knew the truth about the conflict between her and Xiao Yu, found himself unable to argue at this moment.

"But, he did raise you for so many years after all."

"That was his own choice; it has nothing to do with me." Shen Yuan said this and then left.

If it were Li Xuan, she might have gone to take care of her; after all, the relationship between mother and daughter had been quite good in those years before.

But as for Shen Lan, there was not a shred of affection between them.

She had more important things to do right now.

Suddenly, she remembered something, "Although I can't go to take care of him, I can go take a look at him."

Shen Chi felt relieved; he truly did not want Xiao Yu to have blood on her hands again.

Even if it was indirect.

Shen Lan woke up from a nap and was very happy to see Shen Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, you're here?"

"Mm." Shen Yuan's attitude was indifferent.

She didn't want to beat around the bush with Shen Lan either, and asked him directly, "Do you know how to contact Zhu Yun?"

That guy who has every kind of medicine in his hands.

"What are you looking for him for?" Shen Lan frowned; he had only contacted Zhu Yun before because of Si Rong.

"I'm sick, I want to find him to take a look."

She wanted to deal with Jiang Yue but couldn't beat her, so she could only think of ways from other places.

"What illness?" Shen Lan was so agitated that his oxygen mask fell off; he put it back on himself, "If you're sick, go see a doctor, don't look for him, he's not a good thing."

"If your biological daughter Xiao Yu asked you, you would definitely be willing to tell her, right?"

Shen Yuan stood up, making a move to leave, "Forget it if you won't tell me."

Shen Lan was lying in bed now, very worried that the children would be angry and not come to see him, so he didn't dare to offend Shen Yuan at all.

He had no choice but to say, "He went to prison before, he should be in the Pinminku now."

"Got it," Shen Yuan looked back at him, "I hope you don't die inexplicably like my mother."

After saying this, she left.

However, this sentence of hers made Shen Lan feel strange.

Didn't Li Xuan die because Shen Dazhuang set a fire?

What did she mean by "inexplicably"? It sounded as if she knew something he didn't.

Before Shen Lan could think deeply, Liang Yu came in carrying food.

"Dad, you must be hungry, right?"

Shen Chi also followed behind her; seeing his biological brother and sister come in one after the other, Shen Lan felt his chest swell with anger.

"You two, don't be together next time! Did you hear me?"

Shen Chi looked at him, speechless; if they hadn't come together, he might not have even had the chance to say that.

"Stop talking about useless things, let's eat."

Shen Lan watched as Liang Yu opened the lunch box and even thoughtfully placed a towel under his chin.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the most correct thing Li Xuan had ever done in her life was to bring back their biological daughter.

Look at this; now that he was lying in bed, the adopted daughter only came to be sarcastic, his son didn't speak as pleasantly as before, and only his daughter still knew how to feed him.

No wonder they say a daughter is a father's little padded jacket.

He truly experienced the benefits of a little padded jacket.

In the evening, Shen Chi said he wanted to stay behind to take care of him and told Liang Yu to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Because of the fire, their house was no longer habitable, so with the help of government departments, the school had assigned a dormitory to Liang Yu.

After leaving the hospital, Liang Yu did not return to the school dormitory but went to a coffee shop first.

The one she had agreed upon with Li Mu.

"Xiao Yu, my mother is away on a business trip tonight, come sleep at my place; the dormitory bed is so small, my heart aches for you sleeping there."

"Really?" Liang Yu pulled her hand back from his, "But it won't do for now; our relationship isn't official, I can't stay at your house yet."

She looked at Li Mu with some reluctance, "Young Master Li, our families are not well-matched in status, you shouldn't come to meet me anymore in the future."
