C118 The Final Struggle Is Useless
Su Haotian looked at Lin Yi and smiled as he was about to introduce her to Old Master Su. Su Ruoyao said first, "Grandfather, he is my savior. His name is Lin Yi."
Old Master Su smiled very kindly at Lin Yi and said, "Young man, good looking. He is also not bad looking."
"Grandpa, if it wasn't for Lin Yi, I wouldn't know where I would be." Su Ruoyao said and looked pitiful again.
Then Su Ruoyao told him that she was saved by Lin Yi.
As soon as Su Ruoyao finished speaking, Su Haotian angrily snorted, "You still have the nerve to mention it? Then did you tell grandpa why you met those bad people?"
Su Ruoyao's face changed and did not respond to Su Haotian's words.
Su Haotian saw her like that and said to his old father, "Your granddaughter has grown up. She ran away from home because of a disagreement. It's not easy for us to find her in those remote areas."
When Old Master Su heard this, he quickly moved Su Ruoyao closer to take a look. "Grandpa, take a look. Is she hurt?"
"Grandpa, didn't you just say that it was all thanks to Dr. Lin that I wasn't hurt?" Su Ruoyao shook her head and said.
"Yes, yes, yes. I see that grandpa has become muddle-headed. Dr. Lin, thank you." Old Master Su turned his head to Lin Yi and said with a smile.
Lin Yi shook his head and asked the old man not to be polite.
Su Ruoyao also told Old Master Su about Lin Yi's excellent medical skills, so now he was the private doctor she hired.
Su Haotian suddenly said, "Dr. Lin, it just so happens that you can take a look at our old man. How is the condition of our old man's body now?"
Lin Yi walked closer to Old Master Su and put his hand on his knee. He took his pulse and closed his eyes for a while before opening them. He put the old man's hand back to its original position and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is still stable. However... We can't be provoked. An old man at Old Master Su's age... There are some diseases that are easy to cause."
Su Haotian and Su Ruoyao both looked very worried. Lin Yi used his hand to point downwards, indicating for them to relax.
"However, you don't have to be too nervous. You just need to take good care of the rules of the three meals and avoid some big stimulation and intense exercise." Lin Yi said.
"Dr. Lin, you are staying here now. You will diagnose and observe my father every day. If there is anything wrong, we can find it in time," Dr. Lin said. Su Haotian said to Lin Yi.
"Don't worry about that. I will do my best." Lin Yi replied.
"Aiya, I know my own body very well. It's not as weak as you said." Old Master Su was unhappy when he heard that everyone treated him like a sickly person.
"Old man, we didn't say that you are weak. Mr. Su also cares about you. There are only benefits and no harm in checking frequently." Lin Yi said to Old Master Su.
"Okay, okay, okay. I will listen to the doctor." Old Master Su smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Dad, I told you just now that Yao and Jie are going to get married on the fifth of next month. You need to go on the stage and say a few words." After he finished talking about the illness, Su Haotian couldn't wait to mention the good news.
Of course, it was a happy occasion for them. To Su Ruoyao, it was worse than nothing.
Old Master Su looked at Su Ruoyao. Seeing that she wasn't very happy, he asked, "What is it? Yao, are you that unwilling to marry Zhai Jie?"
Su Ruoyao nodded and said, "Grandfather, I don't want to marry him. I don't like him at all."
Su Ruoyao knew that if she told her grandfather and father that Zhai Jie was actually a fickle young master and that there was a problem with his character, they definitely would not believe it, so she could only explain it from her own subjective point of view.
But it was useless. Su Haotian interrupted her and said, "What do you mean like or not? Since ancient times, it has always been the parents' orders, the words of matchmaker. Also, have you heard of love being born over a long period of time?"
"But the times are different now. I want to be free to fall in love." Su Ruoyao continued to argue.
"Yao, the marriage was arranged by the two families a long time ago. If we go back on our word now, what will other people think of our Su family? How will our business cooperate in the future?" Old Master Su said gently to Su Ruoyao.
"But old man, I think the business is business, and marriage is marriage. These two things have nothing to do with each other. Why do you have to force the two of them to work together?" Lin Yi could not help but interrupt.
"Dr. Lin, you are my daughter's saviour. I know, but I invited you back only to be a doctor. There are some family matters that you should not get involved in." Su Haotian was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yi speaking up for Su Ruoyao.
"Besides, you only listen to the side of my daughter. A lot of things are not like what you see on the surface. You just need to do your job as a doctor. I will not treat you badly." Su Haotian said.
"Dr. Lin also can't watch your policy of power. Help me say a few words. Even outsiders feel that there's something wrong with it. Shouldn't you think about it more carefully?" Su Ruoyao heard her father criticizing Lin Yi and immediately contradicted him angrily.
"Impudent!" Su Haotian angrily roared, "No matter what you say, this marriage is decided. You better wait until the fifth of next month. Before that, don't even think about going out."
"You don't know what kind of person Zhai Jie is. He is both fickle and mean. Why do you want me to marry such a person?" Su Ruoyao cried and made a fuss.
"It is normal for a man to be fickle. No matter what, you have to be a good wife and a good mother. No outsider can pick you. You just need to let others know how good the family education of Su family is." Su Haotian said in a manly manner.
Su Ruoyao still wanted to argue but was stopped by Old Master Su. "Yao, come. Grandpa is tired. Help grandpa back to his room to rest."
Su Ruoyao knew from the beginning that she did not have any evidence. Even if she told them about Zhai Jie, her family would not believe it. Plus, her father was a straight man's cancer. He would not take it to heart.
Su Ruoyao nodded and wiped the tears from her face. She helped Old Master Su up the stairs.
Lin Yi had just been taught a lesson, so he could not say anything for a moment. He could only bid farewell to Su Haotian and followed Su Ruoyao upstairs.
Seeing that there was nothing else for Lin Yi to do, he wanted to go back to his room and sort out his thoughts, but was stopped by Su Ruoyao. "Dr. Lin, come with me to take grandpa back to his room."
Lin Yi was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and quickly went to support the old man on the other side.
When they entered Old Master Su's room, Su Ruoyao was like a dam that had been opened, and she started to cry uncontrollably. Old Master Su looked at her with a heart full of pain, but he could not help much. He could only touch his granddaughter's head and say, "Cry, cry, it will feel good when you cry."
Hearing Old Master Su say so, Su Ruoyao cried even more sadly. Lin Yi stood by the side, not knowing how to place his hands and feet, quietly accompanying the two grandfather and grandson.
