517: Su Fan, who is honest and treats others equally

“Brother Su Fan, you’re here.”

“Hmm, I’ll check on the old man first.”

Two and a half minutes later, Su Fan, worried about his Grandfather, rushed to the hospital, still wearing his faded shirt, ripped jeans, and canvas shoes.

As soon as he entered, he eagerly sat by the bed to examine Su Shengtian, fearing that he might have fallen ill from anger.

“Child! To make you run all this way so late, you’ve worked hard.”

Su Shengtian smiled kindly and apologetically.

“It’s no trouble, just a small favor.”

In front of his closest relative, Su Fan’s demeanor was no longer arrogant; he rarely showed a smile without a sneer, like a humble junior.

This behavior earned him even greater praise in Su Shengtian’s eyes.

“Not arrogant or impetuous at such a young age, and you know how to respect elders. Child, you truly are a young man of excellent character!”

“You flatter me, you flatter me. Actually, many people have said that. I’ve always been honest and treated everyone equally.”

After receiving praise from his own Grandfather, Su Fan humbly touched his nose, his face full of kindness.

Beside him, Lin Xuan almost rolled his eyes to the heavens.

Humble?

Lin Xuan really wanted to say that this was only in front of you, old man. Try it with anyone else?

Perhaps Brother Su Fan wouldn’t even give them a proper glance… Treating everyone equally?

In some ways… it was indeed equal… after all, everyone could only see Su Fan’s arrogant nostrils, ( ̄_ , ̄) and his disdainful gaze…

“Child, I see your medical skills are excellent. Would you like to apply for a family doctor position at the Su Family?”

“Monthly salary of 100,000+, free room and board, plus five insurances and one housing fund. You can also propose any other conditions.”

Glancing at Su Fan’s ripped jeans, Su Shengtian guessed that his family was struggling and felt a desire to recruit such talent…

“Old man, I appreciate your kindness. But I’ve always been accustomed to a free and easy life and don’t like to be constrained.”

“Besides, money is an external thing, like fleeting clouds, brought by no one into life, and taken by no one into death. Enough to spend is fine, why be so persistent?”

“As the saying goes: Wealth cannot corrupt, poverty cannot sway, and power cannot bend.”

“A great man living between heaven and earth should have higher spiritual pursuits, rather than bending his back for a few paltry coins.”

“…”

Su Fan stood tall and proud, speaking passionately, like a lone pine tree on a mountain peak, exuding an aura of noble integrity, untainted by worldly dust.

This scene, in Su Shengtian’s eyes, drew continuous praise and great admiration from him.

This young man in front of him was truly remarkable!

He possessed a grand spirit and regarded fame and fortune as fleeting clouds.

Even when faced with the temptation of powerful families, those meager few coins of shallow interest could not shake his noble integrity…

Only Lin Xuan, standing to the side, twitched his mouth several times.

Then he gave a thumbs-up and sarcastically quipped with a hint of meaning: “Brother Su Fan! You are noble! You are incredible!!!”

“You flatter me, you flatter me! Actually, many people have told me that!”

Su Fan thought his brother-in-law was praising him and humbly accepted it all.

Soon, Su Fan, having finished his diagnosis, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man didn't have any major illness; it was just a knot in his heart. As long as he relaxed, his recovery would naturally follow.

When Su Fan fully explained the diagnosis, emphasized the importance of rest and recuperation, and advised the old man to maintain a cheerful mood…

Su Shengtian’s nose tingled, and he let out a deep sigh…

“Child, you don’t understand. My Granddaughter is now missing, and my heart is constantly uneasy. How can I adjust my mood with just a few words?”

“My Granddaughter, she is too delicate to support a willow, tender and fragile.”

“She is a hothouse flower that needs careful nurturing, seemingly strong on the outside, but actually very soft-hearted, a fragile little girl who needs others to protect her.”

“Now that she’s missing, how can I not worry about her?”

“My poor Granddaughter, my heart breaks when I think of her suffering from cold and hunger~~~”

“Alas, and my short-lived son, my poor daughter-in-law, and my Grandson who doted on his sister…”

“If they have spirits in heaven, why don’t they properly protect the treasure of our Su Family?”

“After a hundred years pass, when I reach the underworld, I must question them thoroughly!!! (• ́ へ • ́ ╬)”

Su Fan: “…”

Although he felt a bit ashamed, under his Grandfather’s lamentations,

Su Fan’s mood also became anxious, and his pupils flickered with deep worry and unease.

Little sister, where exactly are you?

You must be safe and sound!

Su Fan frowned deeply, praying inwardly.

In his impression, his younger sister Su Qingge had always been a delicate and weak girl.

Her figure was slender, as if a gentle breeze could blow her over.

Her fair skin was as tender as porcelain, as if it would break with a light touch.

Her eyes were always so gentle and pure, with a hint of shyness and timidity.

Su Fan remembered that when they were children, his sister always followed behind him, like a timid little bunny.

Even seeing a small fly would scare her into crying loudly, then she would tightly hug his arm, childishly seeking “Brother’s” protection.

His sister rarely left home and was always carefully protected by her family.

Every time she went out, he had to accompany her, as if she would lose all sense of security once she left her family’s side.

He remembered one time, when the family went out for a picnic, a frog suddenly jumped out.

His sister quickly hid behind him, her small hands tightly clutching his clothes, her eyes filled with terror.

Her slightly trembling body, like a leaf in the wind, made one feel pity.

Another time, it was raining lightly, and the road was a bit slippery. His sister just slipped slightly and turned pale with pain, almost crying out loud.

At this moment, Su Fan lowered his eyes, and memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern…

When he was little, a lost kitten ran into their house. His sister looked at the tiny, fluffy creature, both wanting to get close and afraid, standing far away, hesitating.

Her nervous demeanor was as if she were facing a fierce beast.

She cupped her hands to her mouth, her voice as soft as a breeze, whispering to him for help:

“Brother, I’m afraid the kitten will scratch me.”

In Su Fan’s heart, his little sister had always been a delicate flower that needed careful nurturing, too weak to withstand a gust of wind, as if a single breeze could blow her over.

Therefore, he couldn’t imagine what kind of dangers such a delicate sister would encounter, alone outside at this moment?

Was she bullied by bad people? Or was she trapped in a dangerous situation, unable to save herself? Or…

Every possibility made Su Fan feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, wishing he could find Su Qingge immediately and protect her tightly behind him, just like when they were children.

“What to do? What to do? My sister is so timid; she usually turns pale with fright just seeing an earthworm…”

“Now that she’s missing outside, what if she encounters bad people?”

“Sister, you must be safe and sound! Brother will definitely find you and protect you.”

“…”

Su Fan secretly vowed in his heart, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

But at the same time, the unease and fear in his heart followed him like a shadow.

He was truly afraid that by the time he painstakingly found his sister, it would already be too late.

Su Fan couldn’t even imagine the consequences of losing his sister; he would surely…

Go completely insane!!!!!
