Chapter 70: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Sheng Hanyu interrupted him: "Which hospital? Tell me the floor and the Hospital Ward."

Sheng Hanyu had deep feelings for his grandfather, and Jian Yining mentioning Sheng Yukai made him unable to stop himself from overthinking.

"Saint Mary Hospital, inpatient department, room 2020."

Sheng Hanyu left in a hurry, and Shi Youxuan covered her mouth and giggled as she watched the raft carrying him row away.

She hurried into the storage room to see that her red suitcase had already been exposed, and her heart involuntarily jumped into her throat.

However, checking the combination lock, it wasn't broken, so the suitcase shouldn't have been opened yet; she opened it to take a look, and the teddy bear was indeed lying inside safe and sound.

But what to do when Sheng Hanyu returns?

Since he had discovered the suitcase, he wouldn't just give up on finding a way to see what was inside.

It seemed nowhere was safe to hide the teddy bear; this was something she used to keep with her at all times, and seeing the teddy bear was equivalent to being identified as Shi Youxuan!

"Ding-dong—"

The front doorbell rang, and the butler said from downstairs: "Miss Ying, open the door."

Shi Youxuan had no choice; she casually threw the teddy bear far away—it landed in the artificial lake, splashing only a small spray of water.

The teddy bear sank quickly, and she withdrew her gaze with lingering attachment; if it hadn't been a last resort, she really wouldn't have wanted to throw it away.

This teddy bear was a birthday gift her father had given her when she was sixteen, and it had accompanied her day and night for four years; now that she had actually thrown it into the lake with her own hands, Shi Youxuan's eyes turned red with heartache.

"Miss Ying, Miss Ying, are you asleep?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The butler outside was no longer pressing the doorbell, but had started pounding on the door; at this rate, the next rhythm would be prying the lock to break straight in.

Shi Youxuan couldn't afford to be sad; she quickly wiped her tears and went to close the window—no, she couldn't close it!

She hadn't opened the window, and closing it now would be like trying to steal a bell while covering one's own ears.

She closed the suitcase and walked out of the storage room.

She shouted while walking downstairs: "Stop knocking, will you pay for it if you break the door?"

Opening the door, the butler came in, went straight to the storage room to drag out the red suitcase, and then clattered away with the hammer and nails he had brought to install two hasps, took out a brand-new padlock to lock the door, and put the key into his pocket.

Shi Youxuan had seen this kind of door lock on television!

After finishing his work, the butler asked Shi Youxuan: "The Eldest Young Master asked me to stay here and keep Miss Ying company; do you need it?"

It was clear at a glance that he wasn't sincere, and of course, she didn't need it.

"No need, you go; I don't need you to keep me company."

The butler left without a single word of unnecessary chatter.

At the entrance of Saint Mary Hospital.

Sheng Hanyu took out his phone and dialed Jian Yining: "Where did you get the news that Grandfather was sent to the hospital?"

Jian Yining: "A friend of mine saw it, what's wrong? Did he see it wrong?" He asked while knowing the answer.

Sheng Hanyu roared at the phone: "Nonsense, of course he saw it wrong! What kind of eyes does he have to mistake a woman for a man? The one staying in 2020 is an old lady!"

He was almost angered to death by Jian Yining.

Just a moment ago, he had led people to barge straight into the Hospital Ward; the patient inside was eating fruit, and upon suddenly seeing several large men barging in with fierce looks, an apple got stuck in their throat and they almost choked to death.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and managed to save the patient.

And if it weren't for his bodyguards protecting him, he would definitely have been beaten black and blue by the patient's family.

The popular Eldest Young Master Sheng of Jiangzhou these past few days was now in a sorry state; his face had been scratched, and two buttons on his suit had been ripped off!

Jian Yining said nonchalantly: "Oh, so it was a false alarm. It's good that it's not true. I wish the old man happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountain. Hanyu Ge, I still have a meeting to attend, talk later!"

After finishing, he hung up the phone, and when Sheng Hanyu called back, it showed that the other party had turned off their phone.

All the way back, he was filled with anger and indignation, but the one he was angry at wasn't someone else, but himself.

He was angry at his own impatience, which had caused him to lose even the most basic ability to judge; if Sheng Yukai were to make a move against his grandfather, why would he send him to the hospital?

Even if he did send him to the hospital, he wouldn't hide it from everyone and then send him to Saint Mary Hospital, which was controlled by the Jian Family!

It was obvious that Jian Yining was playing him, but what was the purpose?

Sheng Hanyu thought for a long time and felt it might be because he had wanted to open Jian Yixin's coffin last time, so Jian Yining had deliberately played a trick on him to call it even.

The driver reminded him: "Eldest Young Master, the mansion is just around the corner ahead. Would you like to go back and see the old man?" On the way here, he had been driving at 180 mph and the Eldest Young Master still complained it was too slow, which showed the deep affection between grandfather and grandson.

Sheng Hanyu thought for a moment and then said: "Call the mansion first to ask; if the old man is home, we will go back."

Although this matter was a false alarm, he was indeed concerned about the old man.

Making a phone call was fine, but it was still not as reassuring as seeing the person himself; however, he was only concerned about the old man, and didn't want to see the others in the mansion.

The bodyguard called back and then told Sheng Hanyu: "Eldest Young Master, the old man is at home."

As the car drove into the Sheng Family Mansion, the welcome Sheng Hanyu received was unprecedented!

Sheng Jiang and his wife Wang Yingzhi were both guarding the gate to welcome him; Sheng Yukai did not appear, not because he wouldn't come out, but because he wasn't home.

Sheng Zerong happened to be there today too, standing behind the others with a smile, very inconspicuous, yet Sheng Hanyu saw him at a glance.

"Ze Rong, when did you get back?"

"I just arrived, back to see Grandfather." Sheng Zerong came over from behind his parents, and the brothers walked into the mansion together.

Sheng Jiang was doing a bit better; he was used to his son being cold and indifferent toward him, but he was still very happy to see his son return.

Wang Yingzhi, however, was anxious and kept trying to talk to her son: "Hanyu, your eyes are all right now, aren't they?"

Sheng Hanyu pretended not to hear.

"Hanyu, what about the matter I told you about last time I went to your place? You haven't even replied to me, and the girl is still waiting..."

Last time she went to the Villa, she had told the butler about wanting her son to marry Shi Yuke.

But the butler was afraid the Eldest Young Master would get angry, so he hadn't told him at all!

It makes no difference whether she says it or not; saying it would only make him angry, and he would never agree to it anyway.

"What is it?" Sheng Hanyu turned his head.

If she hadn't mentioned "the young lady," Sheng Hanyu wouldn't have paid her any mind at all!

Wang Yingzhi was just about to speak, but remembering her sister-in-law was still nearby, she forcibly swallowed the words that had reached her lips.

She stepped forward and took her son's arm: "Son, let's go to the room and talk, it's a good thing, Mom is telling you this time it's absolutely a good thing..."

"Forget it if you aren't going to say it."

Sheng Hanyu shook off her hand, his attitude cold: "I don't care who you promised or what you promised, you handle it yourself; don't drag me into it."

"No, at least listen to me finish!"

Sheng Hanyu ignored her further and went with his third brother to the Study to see their grandfather.

The old man was waiting in the Study, feeling impatient; usually, it was very difficult to get his eldest grandson to come back, but this time he had actually returned on his own initiative—had the sun risen from the west?

He had heard the commotion outside and couldn't help but frown.

His eldest daughter-in-law had been jumping around these past few days, and he didn't think it was anything good; sure enough, when a petty person gains power, they become arrogant!

Every time she meddled, nothing good came of it, and she was always looking for trouble where there was none.

It looked like he would have to lecture his eldest son again and tell him to properly restrain his wife, who couldn't tell right from wrong...

Sheng Hanyu walked in: "Grandfather, I've come to see you, but I didn't bring any gifts."

Sheng Zerong interjected: "I brought gifts; I'll split them with you, and we can count them as being from both of us."

The old man smiled at Sheng Zerong and said: "What you brought is yours; you can't split it with him. Since he didn't bring me a gift, he can make up for it next time. Even if you two brothers have a good relationship, you can't team up to fool your grandfather..."

The three grandfather and grandsons tacitly avoided mentioning Sheng Yukai, and the atmosphere in the Study was harmonious and pleasant.

It was rare for the two of them to come back, so the old man asked them to stay for a meal, telling the kitchen to prepare a few dishes they both liked and to bring them to the Study once they were ready.

Normally, the whole family should have eaten a reunion dinner together, but with Wang Yingzhi "eyeing them like a tiger" and waiting for a chance to see Sheng Hanyu, the old man didn't want her to ruin the rare, good atmosphere, which was why he had the food sent to the Study.

The three grandfather and grandsons chatted and laughed, and from time to time, the old man's hearty laughter could be heard from inside.

Wang Yingzhi was anxious outside, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't get in!
