Chapter 115: Re-hospitalized

"Alright Mom, can you stop nagging? Let me have some peace and quiet." Sheng Yukai interrupted his mother impatiently.

After sobering up, he knew exactly what he had done; getting drunk outside was one thing, but he had actually brought a hostess home. He was in the wrong for this, and even if Yuke had pushed him, it wouldn't have been excessive.

Seeing that her son didn't want to listen, Bai Xue told him to get some rest, then closed the door and left.

She came out intending to settle the score with Yuke, but couldn't find her anywhere. The servant said the young mistress had left crying, and she didn't bother having anyone look for her.

If she wants to leave, let her leave; it would be better if she never came back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the middle of the night, the front door was being pounded loudly, and there was a faint sound of crying and shouting.

Shi Yucheng nudged his wife beside him: "Someone is knocking at the door, it sounds like Yuke?"

Jiang Yadan heard it too, but fearing Shi Yucheng would find out, she brushed it off: "You go to sleep, I'll go out and see."

"I'll go with you." Shi Yucheng was uneasy.

"It's nothing, I'll go take a look and come right back, you go to sleep and don't get up."

The more Jiang Yadan said it was nothing, the more Shi Yucheng felt something was wrong. He insisted on going to open the door with her, and by this time, the knocking outside grew louder, and both of them could clearly hear that their eldest daughter had returned.

"Stop dawdling, go open the door!" Urged by Shi Yucheng, and seeing his wife still hesitating, he simply went himself.

The door opened, and Yuke burst in with tear-streaked face and disheveled hair, throwing herself into Jiang Yadan's arms: "Mom, I can't live with him anymore, I want a divorce... sob, sob, sob..."

"Silly child, what are you saying? You've startled your father in the middle of the night. Let's go to your room and talk, let your father rest, he just got out of the hospital." Jiang Yadan signaled to her daughter with her eyes.

Only then did Yuke realize she had said the wrong thing.

The mother and daughter tried to avoid Shi Yucheng, but he blocked their path: "Yuke, didn't you go to the Imperial Capital? Why are you suddenly back? Where is your luggage, and how did you get back?"

Shi Yucheng stared intently at his daughter, and only then did Yuke realize belatedly that she hadn't changed her clothes when she returned; she was wearing pajamas.

She couldn't justify herself, and feeling aggrieved, she burst into tears with a "waa."

She threw herself into her father's arms: "Dad, I lied to you. I didn't go to the Imperial Capital for school, I've been staying at the Sheng Family all these days..."

Shi Yucheng's blood pressure soared, his face turning scarlet with rage.

Seeing this, Yuke hurriedly explained: "Dad, don't worry, I didn't just follow him without status; Sheng Yukai and I have registered our marriage."

Shi Yucheng's eyes rolled back, and he fainted completely.

At dawn, the QQ pinged.

Shi Youxuan was a sound sleeper; usually, no sound could wake her.

This time, however, she was suddenly woken by the QQ sound. She picked up her phone and saw it was from Jian Yining, with only one line: Uncle Shi is hospitalized again, he's in the emergency room!

She hurriedly called back: "A Ning, what happened?"

Jian Yining: "I'm on my way to the hospital, I don't know exactly what happened either, the dean notified me. Where are you? Do you want me to come pick you up?"

Yingzi had been avoiding him for several days, and Jian Yining didn't know where she was living now.

"No need, I'll go myself."

She was staying at a hotel not far from Saint Mary Hospital, and the two arrived at the hospital almost at the same time.

"Which floor is the emergency room on?" Yingzi asked.

Jian Yining: "Your foster mother and Yuke are definitely there too, are you sure you want to see them?"

If Yingzi went over now, she would inevitably run into Jiang Yadan and Yuke, and what to say if they met was indeed an issue.

Yingzi hesitated, caught in a dilemma.

She didn't want to run into those two women, but she was also very worried about her father.

Jian Yining took her hand: "How about this, we'll go wait in the dean's office, someone will tell us the first-hand information."

"Okay."

Fortunately, there was no danger; Shi Yucheng was resuscitated in the middle of the night and sent back to his original Hospital Ward for observation, but the doctor gave the family a stern warning.

He warned that the patient could no longer be subjected to any stimulation; this time there was a slight rupture of blood vessels and a small amount of cerebral hemorrhage.

If it had been a massive brainstem hemorrhage, even the gods wouldn't be able to save him.

Early morning, Shi Yucheng's Hospital Ward.

Under the doctor's arrangement, Jiang Yadan and Yuke went home, and Shi Youxuan, dressed in a Special Nurse uniform, walked into the ward and sat in front of her father's bed.

She actually wanted to reveal her identity to make her father happy, but the doctor had warned that the patient could not be stimulated at this time; neither great sorrow nor great joy was good for his condition, so she decided to continue posing as a Special Nurse to stay by her father's side!

Jian Yining came in and handed her a food bag containing hot milk and a burger: "Eat something, you haven't even had a drop of water in hours, you won't be able to hold up like this."

"Not hungry."

Shi Youxuan shook her head; she really wasn't hungry.

Her father's illness had her burning with anxiety; she had no appetite to eat until her father woke up.

"Eat a little, just a little."

Under Jian Yining's insistence, Shi Youxuan forced herself to eat a little, and then, as the sun came out, Shi Yucheng finally woke up.

"Xiaoying?"

Shi Youxuan leaned over and said softly: "You're awake, would you like some water?" She poured half a cup of warm water and fed it to him bit by bit with a spoon.

After a few sips, Shi Yucheng shook his head to indicate he didn't want any more, and then he began to cry.

"Why are you crying? Is your head hurting? I'll go call the doctor." Just as she was about to leave, Shi Yucheng stopped her: "No need to call the doctor, my head doesn't hurt, I just missed my daughter..."

Every time he saw Xiaoying, he would think of Shi Youxuan.

The two were simply too much alike, except for their looks.

"Then just treat me as your daughter, and I'll call you Dad." She blurted out.

Shi Yucheng was very happy and accepted Xiaoying as his "god-daughter" on the spot, saying he would let his wife and eldest daughter meet her when they came.

She didn't want to see those two women, so she brushed it off with another topic.

Shi Yucheng was hospitalized again, so Yingzi's plan to hide away fell through; Sheng Hanyu knew the very first time she frequented the hospital, he just pretended not to know.

That Yingzi is Shi Youxuan is a fact that is practically set in stone.

Sheng Hanyu did not look for Yingzi because he had not yet figured out how to face the relationship between the two of them!

He and Shi Youxuan are husband and wife; if Shi Youxuan were a fool, it would actually be easier to handle—just provide her with food and drink—but the problem now is—she is not a fool, she is an elite!

Grandfather arranging this marriage for him could be considered a lucky strike.

If Grandfather were alive, he would surely jump for joy; Grandfather just wanted him to find a wife like this to be a helper, and if he and Shi Youxuan were to become a real married couple, it would certainly be beneficial for the development of Dingsheng.

But what about love?

A marriage with only cooperation and no love is immoral, not to mention that even if he were willing, Shi Youxuan might not be.

The fact that she has been hiding from him and not showing her face for such a long time speaks volumes; if he were to rashly expose her now, he fears they wouldn't even be able to be business partners.

Therefore, he acts as usual on the surface, doing whatever he should be doing, and even when he sees Jian Yining, he does not ask him where Yingzi has gone.

……

The matter of Shi Yucheng adopting Xiaoying as his goddaughter was eventually discovered by Jiang Yadan and Shi Yuke.

Shi Yuke also realized something was wrong; if Xiaoying were just an ordinary Special Nurse, she would definitely think Xiaoying was after their family's money.

But Xiaoying is Yingzi, and Yingzi has plenty of money; she would never look twice at the pittance their family has... Shi Yuke is not stupid either, and she recalled the words her father had said to her.

Added to Yingzi's reaction last time, a bold idea suddenly surged into her mind!
