Chapter 35 - Isn"t It A Pity Not To Marry Him?
It finally dawned on s.h.i.+ Qing that Old Master s.h.i.+ managed to take the eye drops from him twice with great accuracy earlier on.
Even though s.h.i.+ Jin did not say a word when she came in, Old Master s.h.i.+ was able to spot her right away. How could this be?
He had lost his sight for over a decade. Even though he sought treatment from renowned doctors, his condition only aggravated, and showed no signs of recovery. Had he really regained his sight now?
"I can see, but not clearly," said Old Master s.h.i.+. "I need to keep using the eye drops."
Initially, his sight was blurry, but he woke up last night to realize it was gone after he stopped using the eye drops, so he flew into a rage and pa.s.sed out from anxiety.
He was keenly aware that most of his health problems derived from his bad temper. However, he never got used to the helplessness of losing his sight and relying on everyone for help.
After he regained his sight partially, it ended up taken away from him, so he felt exceptionally powerless.
s.h.i.+ Qing gaped slightly. "How is this possible?"
Yu Xiuhua secretly wondered if it was just a flash of lucidity before his demise.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin did not buy it at all. Since her grandfather doted on s.h.i.+ Jin, he always found ways to prove that it was the right choice to let her remain in the family. However, regardless of what he did, no one liked s.h.i.+ Jin.
This time, what he said was simply hilarious.
"Why don"t you reach your face over and find out whether it is true?" said Old Master s.h.i.+ in s.h.i.+ Qing"s direction.
s.h.i.+ Qing found it unbelievable, but he had to accept it.
Old Master s.h.i.+"s murky eyes now looked brighter. His eyes could undoubtedly focus when he looked at them. They looked completely different from when they were blind.
Hmm? He instinctively looked at s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin was wearing a mask. She did not like to make eye contact with others and only looked warm when she looked at Old Master s.h.i.+.
Old Master s.h.i.+ reached his hand out to touch s.h.i.+ Jin"s hair. "Why are you still so skinny now that you"re all grown up?"
Judging from his unhesitant and accurate actions, he did not seem blind.
Yu Xiuhua and s.h.i.+ Qing had to accept the truth, but how did s.h.i.+ Jin get the eye drops?
The three of them left the room first. Everyone found it unbelievable that s.h.i.+ Jin was capable of obtaining such medicine.
The good for nothing was a disgrace to the family. She was completely useless and kept failing at school and kept repeating her second year in middle school. Also, she kept chasing after Chu Ling. When had she ever done something impressive?
s.h.i.+ Xuexin contemplated before she said, "Maybe Young Master Fu helped to get the medicine."
Yu Xiuhua and s.h.i.+ Qing found that it made complete sense. No wonder.
Fu Xiuyuan was initially engaged to s.h.i.+ Xuexin. She had already learned that he was a prodigy when she was still a part of the Li family. However, after s.h.i.+ Xuexin and s.h.i.+ Jin"s ident.i.ties were reverted, so did their fiancés.
Yu Xiuhua could not help asking, "Isn"t it a pity not to marry him if he is that capable?"
s.h.i.+ Xuexin smiled and said, "Ling is the one I like. Also, he is my legitimate fiance."
Yu Xiuhua smiled warmly. Her daughter was just like her. She was kind, poised, and confident.
s.h.i.+ Xuexin could not help smiling. In reality, she was too young to know anything about the Li family"s standing.
