Chapter 208: You Are Not As Steady As Qiaoqiao
Duan Shuyuan followed Li Qiao’s gaze toward the hospital room, sighing deeply, "Just did the checkup, high blood pressure 180, accompanied by a minor brain infarction. Thankfully, the butler discovered it in time, otherwise..."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Duan Yuanhui stepped forward and patted Duan Shuyuan on the shoulder, "Second sister, don’t worry too much. Let’s wait for the doctor’s consultation results and then see how things are."
Duan Shuyuan sighed and nodded, pulling on Li Qiao’s hand with a tight grip.
At this moment, Duan Yixuan, who was standing behind the crowd, secretly sized up Li Qiao. Seeing her indifferent expression, he couldn’t help but mutter, "I don’t see her being too worried about Grandpa. She’s pretending to be anxious, but after she arrived, hasn’t she just been standing here stupidly?"
Although Duan Yixuan’s voice was low, since everyone in the hallway was in a somber mood, silently waiting for the test results from the hospital room,
his words stood out, jarring and grating.
Elder Uncle Duan Yuanhong’s eyes flashed fiercely as he turned and glared at Duan Yixuan, scolding, "Knowing that your grandpa is sick, how can you still spout such nonsense here?"
Duan Yixuan, feeling guilty, darted his eyes away. Seeing that Li Qiao was still unmoved by the dispute, he couldn’t suppress the mischief in his heart and said sarcastically, "Dad, I am not spouting nonsense. Didn’t you all boast about her having connections at the Affiliated Hospital?
Yet, today being Saturday, it was still you who called the Vice Dean to arrange for the doctors’ consultation!"
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Duan Yuanhong’s eyes. Just as he was about to scold her again, Madam Duan immediately stepped out from the side and stood in front of Duan Yixuan, "Old Duan, that’s enough. Xuanxuan didn’t say anything wrong. How can you scold her in front of so many people and hurt the child’s self-esteem?"
The verbal clash among the three family members made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense.
Throughout the entire time, Li Qiao didn’t say a word, completely indifferent to the end.
