753: Chapter 754 Let’s Go for a Walk to Clear Our Minds
Shui Qinghe woke up once more an hour later, finding herself in bed, with Shui Qingyue’s face coming into view as soon as she opened her eyes.
“Sister…” Shui Qinghe was still unclear about what had happened, sowhat groggy.
“How do you feel?” Shui Qingyue asked anxiously.
Blinking, Shui Qinghe asked with confusion, “Feel how?”
Shui Qingyue imdiately said, “Your brother-in-law just treated you, do you feel any better?”
“Ah!” Shui Qinghe exclaid, sitting up suddenly with her hands frantically feeling her head, she asked in a panic, “Are you saying he used that long needle… and stuck it into my head?”
“Yes, but that was to heal you,” Shui Qingyue quickly embraced her.
“My God!
My God!
MYGOD!”
Face filled with terror, Shui Qinghe said, “I wasn’t killed by the needle?
Am I now a spirit talking to you?
Am I already dead?”
Shui Qingyue could hardly help but laugh and scold, “What nonsense are you talking about?
Aren’t you doing just fine right now?”
“Ahh!
You an I’m not dead!
He stuck that long needle into my head, how could I not be dead, I must be dead, utterly dead, I must now be a cold, lifeless body.”
“Qinghe!” Shui Qingyue shouted, finally stopping Shui Qinghe’s hysteria, she said, “You’re really being too ridiculous.
Do you think it’s easy for your brother-in-law to treat soone?
That takes a great deal of effort.
He didn’t just treat you on a whim, it’s only because of your relationship with
that he did it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother with you, and here you are making a fuss.”
“I… But he did stick that long needle in …” Shui Qinghe said with a pained expression.
“Does it hurt now?” Shui Qingyue asked, irritated.
“I… It doesn’t seem to hurt?” Shui Qinghe rubbed her head again.
“Then what are you afraid of?”
“I…” Shui Qinghe was suddenly at a loss for words, after a long while she said, “That needle was so long, aren’t you afraid just looking at it?”
“It depends on who’s using it, doesn’t it?
If soone else were using it, I’d be scared, of course, but in Brother Dongzi’s hands, that needle is a Divine Needle that saves lives.
Your brother-in-law is known as the King of Acupuncture, treating you is your good fortune, and here you are being picky.”
Shui Qinghe imdiately protested, “Hey, hey… Cousin, I’m your sister, you’ve got a husband now, and you’re not siding with your sister anymore.
You used to be so good to , it’s over, my status has plumted.”
Shui Qingyue said with annoyance, “Whose fault is that?
We had to drag you back for treatnt as if we were capturing a thief.”
“Now that you ntion it, I rember coming from the yard.
How did I end up on the bed?
Was it my brother-in-law who knocked
out, then carried
back?”
“What else could it be?”
“Oh… Okay, getting carried by my brother-in-law for a bit isn’t a loss, I won’t hold it against him.”
Shui Qingyue truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and said, “You’re such a handful.
Don’t do this again tomorrow.”
Shui Qinghe inhaled sharply, “Tomorrow… thinking about that needle… maybe it’s best if my brother-in-law knocks
out again, out of sight, out of mind.”
“You… When the ti cos, you can decide for yourself, I don’t have ti to deal with you, I still have a lot of important things to do.”
Shui Qingyue stepped out, and Shui Qinghe shook her head, feeling that her mind indeed seed much clearer.
After getting off the bed and walking a few steps, she felt no discomfort and couldn’t help but murmur inwardly, “Did he actually treat my illness, or was he just humoring ?”
Lin Su’er called Song Xiaodong.
“Brother Dongzi, I’ve been invited to attend a charity gala tonight.
Should I go?”
Song Xiaodong said with a smile, “Sure, why not?
You’re now at the level of a deputy head of the hospital, so you’re definitely qualified to join such circles.
It’s good to participate in these kinds of events more often.”
Lin Su’er said with so difficulty, “But I don’t know how to deal with it.
I don’t know anyone there.”
“Oh, in that case, I’ll accompany you.”
“You’ll accompany ?” Lin Su’er was startled, quickly saying, “Isn’t that inappropriate?
You, the Patriarch of the Su Family, attending such a gala with them, wouldn’t it devalue you?”
“It’s fine.
Anyway, nobody knows I’m the Patriarch of the Su Family.
I’ll just go as your boyfriend.
This way, I can be a ‘Guardian’ too, so no one will covet my Little Su’er.”
“No one is coveting ,” said Lin Su’er, her face turning red, though her words were a bit sheepish.
Lately in the hospital, quite a few young doctors had shown interest in her, but they hadn’t dared to overstep due to her position as a deputy head.
Otherwise, she likely wouldn’t have had a mont’s peace all day.
Song Xiaodong said, “Then co back early to change your clothes, and we’ll go to the event.”
Lin Su’er quickly agreed.
Song Xiaodong told Su Yuya about his plans to accompany Lin Su’er to the charity dinner that night.
Su Yuya couldn’t help but giggle, saying, “It’s obviously sothing those young people cooked up, really just an excuse for everyone to ss around together.
You, as the Family Head, have no need to join in the fun.”
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have nothing else going on anyway, it might be nice to go out and clear my head.”
“You, tossing all the issues to , are truly carefree.
But it’s alright to have a look.
Helping Su’er and the rest establish so connections in that circle isn’t a bad idea.
We big families do value connections.
The only thing is…”
“The only thing is what?” asked Song Xiaodong.
“The only thing is if your identity gets recognized, it could be quite awkward.
Just imagine, those youngsters finding out you are the Patriarch of the Su Family, their jaws might hit the floor,” said Su Yuya, already stifling her chuckles.
Song Xiaodong nodded and replied, “Oh, that’s true.
I’ll just keep a low profile then.
As long as I’m not recognized by the Su Family mbers, it’ll be fine.”
“Right, there won’t be any issues.
Even if they do recognize you, just remind them, and they won’t be foolish enough to make a fuss.
Just, they’ll have to mind their behavior there,” she added.
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, “Then that’s their problem to deal with.”
Xiao Yingying crept over and asked cautiously, “Brother Dongzi, where are you going?
Can I co with you?”
Miao Xuanxuan also ca over, saying, “I want to go too.”
Su Yuya smiled and said, “It’s open to all of you.
After all, the ladies will eventually walk this path.
Everyone can go and start forging so connections.”
Song Xiaodong thought for a mont, then said, “Alright then, let’s all go together and have a good ti.”
Xiao Yingying and Miao Xuanxuan imdiately cheered excitedly.
They were bored with playing at ho every day, and going out was precisely what they desired.
