He hesitated, but Lady Bao strongly approved.
Not only her, but even Bao Jingyuan, Su Qionglin, and even that ambitious Hao Keke all hoped that Su Ruanruan would meet a terrible end, debilitating Lady Gu so that Su Ruanruan could never recover.
Heh, what could a little girl possibly do in such an urgent medical case?
Trying to show off, but this is not the way to do it!
While everyone harbored their own thoughts, Lady Gu was carried to the sofa.
Her jaws clenched tightly, her face a purplish-black.
Su Ruanruan knelt down to inspect carefully, while instructing the maid to fetch a small medical kit from her room. Just then, Housekeeper Wang arrived, and Su Ruanruan immediately took Lady Gu’s blood pressure and heart rate.
The numbers were alarming.
Gu Yuanpei felt a chill in his feet, casting a glance at Gu Ze beside him.
His eyes filled with sorrow.
In such a condition, even taking her to the hospital seemed futile.
Gu Ze squeezed his hand.
The maid returned with the small medical kit, and surprisingly, the old lady also followed.
Seeing the situation, the old lady was also stunned.
After a long pause, she asked, "How could this happen?"
Bao Jingyuan was quick to reply, "It was Su Ruanruan who scared her. She’s a jinx; anyone who encounters her is doomed."
Su Qionglin spoke softly, "Jingyuan, don’t say that. Though the fortune-teller who read Ruanruan’s fortune said so, we must rely on science."
Her words stirred discussions among those around.
[If the third Miss Su says so, it must be true.]
[Lady Gu was fine before, but after coming into contact with Su Ruanruan...]
[Ah, some things really can’t be disbelieved.]
Su Qionglin slightly curled her lips.
Lady Bao glanced at her, satisfied.
At that moment, the old lady, wielding her walking stick, cursed at those gossiping, "You bunch of gossips!"
Her gaze then swept to Su Qionglin, sneering, "May I ask, wasn’t it after contact with you that Ziqi fell off the cliff? It’s already a miracle he didn’t die; if anyone’s a jinx, it would be you, the third Miss Su."
Su Qionglin’s face stiffened.
She had not expected the old lady to be so disrespectful.
Wasn’t she the one who was supposed to spend her life with Ziqi?
She tugged on Bao Ziqi’s sleeve, hoping he would speak up for her, but Bao Ziqi just kept a stern face, his gaze fixed on Su Ruanruan.
Su Qionglin nearly gritted her teeth.
Calming down, she tactfully whispered, "I just fear that Ruanruan might bring misfortune to the Bao Family."
The old lady erupted, "Misfortune? Is that more important than a human life?"
Bao Jingyan chuckled, "The old lady makes an excellent point."
The old lady then turned her stern face to her beloved grandson, "Such a big issue, and you decided on your own without even informing me."
She emphasized again, "After all, your Uncle Gu is an elder."
This was her protecting her own.
She feared Bao Jingyan, young and under less control.
Yet, Bao Jingyan said, "My thoughts are the same as the old lady’s, nothing is more important than a human life."
The old lady was satisfied and told Su Ruanruan, "Child, with me here, go ahead and save her! It doesn’t matter if it’s your Aunt Gu or a stranger, you should do your best to treat her."
Su Ruanruan hummed softly, fully focused on treating Lady Gu.
Lady Gu’s face turned even bluer.
Gu Yuanpei, anxious for his wife, kept looking out the door to see if the ambulance had arrived.
Knowing his concerns, Gu Ze simply went to wait at the Bao Family’s main gate.
Gu Yuanpei felt slightly relieved, turning back to watch Su Ruanruan take a box of silver needles from the medical kit.
