7: Living in the Su family, Su Qingge's painful way of eating

“My next goal is to stay by Su Qingge’s side and harvest points.”

“And before Su Yang returns to Magic City, I’ll make sure the entire Su Family feels my love for Su Qingge…”

Outside the Lin Family villa.

With a clear plan, Lin Xuan rode his electric bike out of the villa gate.

Behind him at this moment,

Lin Jianjun’s angry roars continued to echo.

“Rebellious! Rebellious! The rebellious son of the Lin Family has rebelled!”

“I’m telling you! Without my Lin Family, there will be no place for you in the entire Magic City!”

…As the distance grew, the sounds gradually faded.

Fifteen minutes later,

Lin Xuan pushed open the Su Family gate.

He happened to run into Steward Liu, who was coming out to greet him.

“Mr. Lin, you… you’re back?”

The beautiful female steward looked at the dusty young man with great surprise.

She hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to return so quickly.

“Yes! Sister Liu Juan, has my room been arranged? Could you please take me there to put down my luggage first?”

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, speaking politely to the beautiful female steward in front of him.

Although Liu Juan was just a steward, her position in the Su Family was not low.

It could be said that she had watched Su Qingge and her brother grow up since childhood; they weren't blood relatives, but their bond was stronger than family.

So Lin Xuan didn’t mind getting on her good side.

Hearing Lin Xuan sweetly call her “Sister Liu,”

Liu Juan was momentarily stunned.

Then, her impression of Lin Xuan improved a few points.

As an employed steward,

besides the Su Family members, most of the young masters she usually met treated her with a condescending attitude; polite ones like Lin Xuan were quite rare.

“Rumor has it that the eldest young master of the Lin Family is impulsive, easily angered, prone to violence, and disrespectful to elders.”

“It seems these are all baseless slanders!”

Liu Juan thought to herself, feeling a little less resistant to Lin Xuan marrying into the Su Family.

She then led the way, motioning for Lin Xuan to follow behind her.

“Mr. Lin! Please follow me, the Chairman has already arranged a room for you.”

“Thank you, Sister Liu Juan.”

The two then walked towards the second floor, and during this time, Lin Xuan asked about Su Shengtian’s whereabouts.

“I heard there was a problem with a batch of medical equipment produced by the company, so the Chairman went back to deal with it.”

Upon hearing this,

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

It seemed the fuse of the Su Family’s impending bankruptcy crisis was right here… After reaching the second floor,

Liu Juan stopped in front of Su Qingge’s room, then pointed to the guest room not far away.

“The Chairman said to temporarily let Mr. Lin stay next to Miss.”

“Of course! If Mr. Lin doesn’t like it, we can also arrange a new residence for you.”

Lin Xuan was about to shake his head to indicate there was no need to change,

when his stomach suddenly let out a “gurgle~~” sound.

“Sorry! I’ve been too busy today and haven’t had time for lunch.”

Even with Lin Xuan’s thick skin, he scratched his head with a slight embarrassment at this moment.

However, Liu Juan was very understanding; she smiled and told Lin Xuan to put away his luggage first, and she would go prepare something for him to eat, then turned and left… Click!

Seeing her back disappear, Lin Xuan then opened the door and walked in.

The room was clean and tidy, spotless.

Compared to the damp storage room where his predecessor lived, it was simply heaven.

And it was very close to Su Qingge’s room, which was very convenient for him to gain “snuggling” points.

Therefore, Lin Xuan was quite satisfied.

He simply put away his luggage, walked out of the room, and came to Su Qingge’s door.

Through the open door,

he saw the girl with an angelic face, deeply asleep.

She looked exactly the same as when he had left earlier.

The only difference was the changed bedsheets and the new, clean clothes she was wearing.

At this moment, Liu Juan’s inviting voice came from behind.

“Mr. Lin! Please follow me, lunch has already been prepared for you.”

As the saying goes… man is iron, food is steel; one meal missed and hunger is felt.

Lin Xuan decided to fill his stomach first before he had the energy to consider other matters… And when the two disappeared at the doorway, they didn’t know that the commotion here had already been heard by Su Qingge.

“Lin Xuan is back?”

“And he’s living right next door to me?”

“It seems Grandpa was serious about the marriage for good fortune…”

In the dark cage of consciousness,

Su Qingge, who was originally immersed in pain, was subconsciously a little dazed.

Then a trace of shame arose.

As the first man to see her incontinence,

Su Qingge’s heart was actually very unwilling to face Lin Xuan.

But she couldn’t move, so she could only silently accept all of Su Shengtian’s arrangements.

“However…”

“If the marriage for good fortune really works, that would be great, but… will it really work…”

Regarding the marriage for good fortune mentioned by her grandfather,

the old Su Qingge would not believe it in the slightest, only scoffing at it.

This kind of feudal superstition,

in her eyes, was just self-comfort for the elderly.

Otherwise, the scientists’ coffin lids would have long since collectively failed to stay shut.

But as the saying goes!

A drowning person in despair will cling tightly even to a straw.

And now, Lin Xuan was that life-saving straw in Su Qingge’s heart.

Although she knew the hope was slim, she was already almost desperate.

She still regarded this seemingly insignificant hope as the belief to keep going… Five minutes later,

Lin Xuan, full and satisfied, returned to the second floor of the villa and walked towards Su Qingge’s room.

He clutched his round stomach, content.

Click!

Pushing open the girl’s boudoir, the scene he saw made the smile on Lin Xuan’s face freeze.

Inside the room, several private doctors in white coats were standing.

They were helping Su Qingge eat.

Since a person in a vegetative state cannot chew or swallow food on their own,

to help Su Qingge receive water and food to maintain her metabolism, weight, and nutritional survival,

the doctors chose to perform nasal feeding through a long-term indwelling gastric tube.

They inserted a long, transparent, thin tube into the girl’s nasal cavity, and the gastric tube passed through the nasal cavity and was finally placed into the esophagus.

Then, the food was ground into a liquid nutritional solution with a blender and put into a syringe.

Then, the large syringe was connected to the feeding port of the gastric tube connector.

After confirming a secure connection,

the doctors would manually press the plunger to continuously inject water and food into Su Qingge’s stomach… Lin Xuan silently watched all of this, sighing inwardly.

“Su Qingge… she must be in a lot of pain right now…”

After all, who among normal people could endure having a tube inserted into their nose, and directly into their esophagus?

Moreover, the amount of food given to a person in a vegetative state cannot be too much; if too much is given, it can easily cause reflux and aspiration, leading to aspiration pneumonia, and in severe cases, suffocation and death.

So, generally, it should not exceed 150-200 mL, only small, frequent meals.

This meant that Su Qingge had to experience the same feeding pain several times a day.

There were also various other torments like incontinence.

It was imaginable how much psychological pressure Su Qingge was under now.

If this continued, her personality would only become twisted and dark.

“And at this moment, it’s time for me to make my appearance…”
