Volume 2. Game Update in Progress
Fortunately, Aunt Zhao reacted quickly, hurriedly closed the bathroom door, then went to explain.
After that, Gong Lianyu quickly came in with underwear and pajamas, helping me wipe and dress... and her hands felt a bit clumsy.
While putting on the bra, she pinched the flesh underneath, and the pain made me gasp.
Gong Lianyu always had this naturally dazed air in moments like this.
I really couldn’t figure out how a woman like her became the chairman and CEO of a multinational company.
Maybe she misplaced her skill points?
Facing the clumsy Gong Lianyu, I couldn’t help but have some mischievous thoughts.
Then came a wave of chaos — the doctor arrived, the nurses arrived, and every single piece of medical equipment was used on me.
After a long discussion among three doctors, they gave a conclusion: “Very healthy.”
As a result, two doctors supported one doctor out the door, while Liu Wanqian’s fists were covered in blood, shouting angrily, “Try being in a coma for a month without any illness!?? Come here and I’ll beat you until you can’t take care of yourself!!!”
Honestly, the doctors couldn’t really be blamed.
But I couldn’t bring myself to say that.
All I could do was silently pray that the doctor's nose wasn’t broken.
Still, Liu Wanqian really was going too far, but I didn’t know what to say.
Eventually, after much discussion, they made a call to consult domestic experts.
They even contacted internationally renowned doctors for an emergency online consultation.
After over a dozen internationally famous doctors worked together for a three-hour consultation overnight, they came to a conclusion.
And that was...
“According to this information, Mr. Liu, your daughter was likely struck in the head during the car accident, possibly compressing a nerve or affecting some area. The brain is, indeed, very tricky to deal with. If the only symptom is coma, we still can’t determine which part is the problem. Even if there is a problem, it can’t be easily treated. So we recommend Miss Liu undergo a period of rest and observation. If these coma episodes become frequent, then surgery will be necessary. However, based on the ultrasound, the impacted area is very small, possibly extremely tiny. With current methods, it’s difficult to determine the exact issue using medical equipment. Only on the operating table, through direct visual judgment by the surgeon, can it be assessed.”
“Yes, Mr. Liu, so for now, we recommend you let Miss Liu rest for a while. If the coma becomes frequent, it won’t be too late to operate. It’s not that we’re shirking responsibility, but this type of brain surgery is extremely dangerous. If it goes wrong, not only will it not help, but it might also damage other nerves.”
“Given Miss Liu’s current condition, medication is basically ineffective. The best plan we could come up with is temporary observation.”
These conclusions naturally turned Liu Wanqian’s face ashen.
Old Master Liu Shaoqing of the Liu family also arrived, but he seemed to favor sons over daughters, not even glancing at me the entire time.
He simply thanked the doctors and said no more.
On the contrary, he was very warm toward Liu Yuncheng — my younger brother — and upon seeing him, his aged face immediately lit up with a kind smile.
As for Liu Yunyu… he seemed rather indifferent toward her.
The domestic doctors responded politely to Liu Shaoqing’s gratitude.
But those internationally invited renowned doctors paid him no attention at all — instead, they nodded at Gong Lianyu.
It seemed that on the international stage, Gong Lianyu’s influence was greater than Old Master Liu Shaoqing’s.
These renowned doctors were probably invited by Gong Lianyu.
Which made sense — to those foreign doctors, a powerful international business CEO like Gong Lianyu was clearly more worth associating with than Liu Shaoqing.
And considering that kind of foreign demeanor, it was normal for them to be indifferent toward Liu Shaoqing.
Next, naturally, there wasn’t much for me to do.
I could only helplessly hold Liu Yunyu, who had just entered first grade and was on holiday, while watching the kindly smile bloom on Old Master Liu Shaoqing’s face as he played with Liu Yuncheng.
But Gong Lianyu didn’t let me and Liu Yunyu spend too much time together.
She quickly took both kids away.
According to Gong Lianyu, I was seriously ill and not fit to entertain guests for long, so it was better to rest quietly.
In reality... I could tell that Gong Lianyu was protecting me and Liu Yunyu.
She understood that in this household, the old master had the final say, and she also knew he favored sons over daughters.
So to prevent any psychological harm to me and Liu Yunyu, she hurriedly took the two children away.
This left Old Master Liu with no excuse to stay, and thus avoided a situation where the two of us “daughters” could only sit by and watch the family head amuse himself with his grandson.
Although Liu Wanqian clearly disapproved of the old master’s attitude, he dared not show it on his face.
I saw him muttering behind the old man’s back, but as soon as Liu Shaoqing glanced at him, he immediately put on a serious expression.
The speed of that face change made me sigh with both awe and resignation.
And after Gong Lianyu took the two children away, Old Master Liu seemed to realize something too.
He came over with a look that was three parts stern and two parts caring, putting on a very official air.
“Girl, how are you feeling?”
This superficial concern made me feel extremely awkward.
But seeing Liu Wanqian standing behind Liu Shaoqing, winking at me anxiously, I couldn’t really say anything inappropriate.
I let out a helpless sigh in my heart, shook my head, and respectfully replied, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa.”
“Mm... Girl, let’s do it this way. Since you need to rest right now, and our family — well, we’re not exactly poor — at least feeding one more mouth isn’t a problem. You don’t need to go to school in the second half of the year. You’re in your third year of junior high, right? Then just don’t go next term. When the exams come around, just wing it. If you can get in, great. If not, come home and help your father with the family business. I’ll see if any of my old friends have a decent child — find you a good match early, marry you off, and settle into being a good wife and mother.”
After saying that, Old Master Liu smiled at me, but didn’t even touch me.
He turned to say a few words to Liu Wanqian and left.
Watching Old Master Liu walk away, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Sure... even if Liu Yunyan was just a girl, your preference for sons was way too obvious, wasn’t it?
Even if I’m bound to be married off one day, at least for now, I’m still your granddaughter, right?
What kind of attitude is that?
Yet... I didn’t say those things out loud.
I could ignore Old Master Liu, but Liu Wanqian’s anxious expression was something I had to take seriously.
If I wanted to help Liu Yunyan repair her relationship with her father, I couldn’t just pay lip service.
If I couldn’t even swallow this much frustration, I had no right to claim I was trying to help fix the family.
But... honestly, I had never suffered such a humiliation in my life.
I could bow and scrape for the sake of survival, because I owed people money or took their pay.
But to you, Liu Shaoqing...
What the hell do I owe you?
