Chapter 12: The Old Master of the Su Family

Ye Tian, who didn't know that his first cultivation had attracted the attention of others and thus brought trouble, was currently hugging a large tree in front of the hospital, vomiting profusely.

He never expected that Su Mei, the goddess, would have such a side. Recalling the image of Su Mei driving excitedly on the highway just now made Ye Tian feel sick.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't realize you would get carsick. I wasn't even driving that fast!"

Su Mei kept apologizing while patting Ye Tian's back. She had been too focused on driving to notice Ye Tian's pale face beside her.

"You were not just driving fast; it felt like we were flying too low!"

Ye Tian rolled his eyes and muttered to himself. However, considering his dignity in front of a girl, he stood up straight, suppressing the churning in his stomach, and pretended to be nonchalant:

"I'm just not feeling well today. Otherwise, even if you drove twice as fast, it wouldn't matter."

"Really?" Su Mei's eyes brightened with excitement: "Then I'll drive faster when I return."

Hearing this, Ye Tian stumbled, realizing he had dug himself a hole.

"Mei'er!" At that moment, an excited and joyful voice came. Su Mei turned around to see Lin Feng running towards the hospital entrance with an excited face. When he saw Ye Tian standing next to Su Mei, his expression changed dramatically, and he asked with surprise and resentment:

"Ye Tian, what are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? Su Mei is my wife; where else should I be if not here?" Ye Tian replied as a matter of fact, while internally becoming alert.

Lin Feng was clearly surprised to see him there, as if it was inconceivable for Ye Tian to be in this place. This made Ye Tian cautious, wondering if Lin Feng had plotted something against him that he had inadvertently avoided.

Su Mei frowned, ignoring Lin Feng, and hugged Ye Tian's arm, saying softly, "Husband, let's go see grandfather!"

More dog food for the onlookers!

Although he was being used as a shield, Ye Tian wasn't the slightest bit annoyed. Being able to take advantage of such a situation and earn brownie points was a win-win.

Indeed, while enjoying the soft touch from his arm, Ye Tian followed Su Mei into the hospital to the special care ward. At the same time, he heard the notification of ten dog food points being credited.

"Madam, we've done everything we can. The old master's illness is incurable by nature, and given his advanced age, coupled with several bouts of illness in a short period of time, his body is completely depleted. We are truly powerless!" Before they entered the ward, they heard the doctor's voice. Then, an old and weak voice said:

"Xuemei, don't waste your effort. I know my own body. I probably don't have many days left. My biggest wish now is to see Mei'er get married and settle this last concern so I can die in peace."

As soon as Su Mei approached the ward, her eyes reddened, and she pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Grandfather, you won't have anything happen to you. I've brought my husband here. You just focus on getting better. Nothing will happen."

Su Mei's appearance brought a smile to the old man's pale face. He lovingly touched Su Mei's cheek and said with a smile:

"Life and death are predestined. You're an adult now; why are you still crying? You said you brought your husband? Where is he? Don't lie to your grandfather!"

"How could I lie to you? Look, I even brought our marriage certificate!" Su Mei said while taking out the marriage certificate and turned to Ye Tian:

"Husband, come and meet my grandfather."

Besides the sick old man and Su Mei, there was a doctor in a white coat and an elegant middle-aged woman, evidently Su Mei's mother.

Hearing Su Mei's words, everyone turned their attention to Ye Tian. Lin Feng, who had been staring at Ye Tian with resentment, suddenly spoke up, immediately attracting angry glares from everyone in the room.

Su Mei's mother, although not very fond of Ye Tian, was equally displeased with Lin Feng for disrupting the old master's happiness at such a moment.

"How is this possible? You're not trying to deceive an old man like me, are you?" The old master frowned, his authoritative gaze fixed on his granddaughter and Ye Tian, his breathing becoming more rapid.

Su Mei and her mother were shocked. They never expected Lin Feng to be so reckless out of his hatred for Ye Tian. Seeing the old master on the verge of anger, they panicked. The last thing a patient, especially one with limited days, needs is to be upset.

"Old master, it's my fault. I've been with Mei'er for a long time, but since I work in her company, I didn't announce it to avoid gossip." Seeing the old master's breathing becoming more rapid, Ye Tian quickly stepped forward, holding Su Mei's waist, and explained.

"Really?" Seeing the intimate interaction between the two, the old master believed them somewhat.

He knew his granddaughter well. If she had no feelings for the other party, even if it was a fake marriage, she wouldn't be able to act so naturally.

"Of course, it's true!" Su Mei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ye Tian is the head of security we specially hired for our company. Don't underestimate him. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have condescended to stay at the company."
