Chapter 39 A Fleeting Pleasure
In the rehabilitation ward, warm sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Jiang Jianping leaned against the headboard, doing simple hand grasping rehabilitation exercises with the help of a caregiver.
He lay in a vegetative state for six years, even though his condition improved significantly after Shen Yu's treatment.
However, the neurodegeneration caused by six years of vegetative state cannot be recovered overnight.
The attending physician repeatedly instructed that at least three to four months of systematic rehabilitation training were needed before the patient could be discharged and go home, once muscle strength and mobility had recovered to a safe level.
The little girl, Niannian, sat on a small stool by the bed, holding up her colored pencils to show her grandfather the family portrait she had drawn. Her sweet, childlike voice rang out:
"Grandpa, look, this is Dad, this is Mom, this is me and my brother, and this is you and Grandma. When you're discharged from the hospital, let's go to the amusement park together and ride the carousel, okay?"
Gui Gui, with a serious face, like a little adult, held an apple in her hand and instructed Jiang Jianping.
"Grandpa, the doctor said you should eat more fruit to supplement your vitamins. Remember to eat an apple after you finish exercising."
Su Hui sat to the side, watching her husband wake up and her two adorable grandchildren, her smile never fading.
She would occasionally pass her husband saliva and wipe the thin layer of sweat from his forehead as he recovered, her eyes filled with the joy of having regained what she had lost.
Outside the ward, Shen Yu reached out and put his arm around Jiang Xinlan's waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.
Jiang Xinlan leaned against his strong chest, watching the heartwarming scene in the ward. She gently hooked her finger with his, her eyes slightly reddening.
"I never imagined that my dad would wake up and be able to talk to the children again. Shen Yu, it's all thanks to you."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Shen Yu lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead, his fingertips pinching her soft cheek.
"He is my father-in-law, you are my wife, and the child is my own. It is only natural for me to do these things."
Jiang Xinlan's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with tenderness, and whispered:
"Once my dad's condition stabilizes and he can be discharged from the hospital and go home, we should start planning our wedding. Actually, it doesn't need to be too extravagant. Just a lively family gathering, getting our marriage certificate, and having a meal with close relatives and friends will be enough."
For the past six years, she has been raising two children alone and bearing the burden of her father's high medical expenses. Life has long since worn down her expectations for a grand wedding.
simple is the best.
As long as she can be with Shen Yu in peace and give the children a complete family, she doesn't care about anything else.
"That won't work."
Shen Yu pinched her chin, lowered his head to touch her forehead, and spoke in a tone that was both domineering and gentle, each word resounding.
"My woman, Shen Yu's woman, must have a grand and glorious wedding. Our wedding must be held in the most prestigious venue in the entire Jiangcheng."
The ceremony must be the grandest in the entire city. Whatever other weddings have, you must have; whatever others don't have, I'll make sure you have it too.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had accidentally spilled from the corner of her eyes, his fingertips caressing her cheek, his eyes full of doting affection.
"I want everyone in Jiangcheng to know that you, Jiang Xinlan, are someone I, Shen Yu, will protect for the rest of my life. I can't make up for all the suffering you endured before."
But from now on, I will ensure that you and the children live a life of luxury, free from worries, and never have to suffer the slightest grievance again.
Jiang Xinlan felt a warm and sweet feeling in her heart. She tiptoed and quickly touched the corner of his lips, then blushed and buried her face in his chest.
"Okay, whatever you say."
After cuddling for a while, Jiang Xinlan couldn't help but whisper again:
"But a grand wedding costs a lot of money. Most of the money you made from bargain hunting has been spent on my dad's treatment. Maybe we should keep the wedding simple."
"Or we can wait a bit longer. My dad's condition has stabilized, and I'm going back to the film set tomorrow. After I finish filming, I'll get a considerable sum of money, which I can use for the wedding..."
"You don't need to worry about the money at all."
Shen Yu interrupted her and calmly comforted her.
"For me, making money is just a matter of lifting a finger. Let alone a wedding, even providing for you three for the rest of your lives would be a piece of cake."
Putting everything else aside, just the various immortal cultivation formulas and secret techniques he has in his mind, if he takes out any two and modifies them into formulas that can be used in the mortal world, he can exchange them for a fortune in this mortal world.
He used to not care about material possessions, but now he wants to marry Jiang Xinlan and give her and their children the best life.
These things will come in handy then.
That afternoon, Jiang Jianping's rehabilitation ended and his condition stabilized, so Shen Yu took Jiang Xinlan back to the Yunjingtai Villa.
After settling the two children in, he immediately called Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong, asking them to come to the villa to meet him.
On the phone, the two top figures in Jiangcheng sounded flattered and repeatedly agreed, saying they would arrive immediately and not dare to delay for even a moment.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the villa's door.
Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong arrived one after the other. These two top figures, who could shake the city with a stomp of their feet, showed no airs in front of Shen Yu, behaving as respectfully as juniors meeting elders.
"Mr. Shen, please feel free to contact us if you need anything!"
Lu Zongming spoke first, his eyes filled with awe.
Qin Zhengxiong quickly echoed, his attitude extremely respectful:
"Yes, Mr. Shen, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. We'd go through fire and water for you without a single complaint!"
Shen Yu gestured for the two to sit down, had the nanny serve tea, and without beating around the bush, picked up two pre-written prescriptions from the coffee table and pushed them in front of the two of them.
"I've called you two here to offer you a sure-fire, profitable business opportunity."
Shen Yu leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said calmly,
"The one on the left is a skin-preserving formula that I improved based on an ancient recipe. When used as a skin cream, it can make the skin as white as jade, reduce wrinkles and fight aging."
After using it, you can look at least five to ten years younger! Whether it's the immediate effects or long-term maintenance, it far surpasses top-tier brands in the same price range.
"The one on the right is the Qinghe Health Preservation Formula, which is also an improved version of an ancient formula. Taking it can strengthen the body's foundation, delay the decline of bodily functions, and improve immunity."
Not only are the effects remarkable, but they are also a hundred times safer than other health supplements on the market, being all-natural with no side effects.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zongming and Qin Zhengxiong's eyes lit up instantly, staring intently at the two prescriptions on the table as if they were searching for a gold mine.
There's no need to doubt the prescription Shen Yu presented.
The formula, personally improved by a legendary doctor who can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, has a completely overwhelming advantage over existing products on the market.
This is no cooperation; it's Shen Yu giving them an overwhelming fortune!
