There was continuous spring rain in Jiang City in April.
Today’s weather could not be described as good, even a little bad, just like the bad expressions on everyone’s face at the door of Shan Tianfeng’s ward.
Their bad looks had nothing to do with Shan Tianfeng’s surgery, but because of Gu Biqing’s appearance.
In front of Gu Biqing, the other three mesdames naturally do not have a good expression, and the three mesdames’ presence on the scene also makes Gu Biqing’s expression sour, she doesn’t like anyone, and the Second Madam, who is often challenged her twenty years ago, also doesn’t dare to say anything more at this time.
Twenty years ago, the Second Madam was favored by Shan Tianfeng, so of course she was not afraid of anything, and she also had a son by her side.
But now, the Second Madam dares not say a word, she has long lost Shan Tianfeng’s favor, the Third Madam was a bit smarter back then, she had a relationship with Shan Tianfeng, but she didn’t come to show off her power in front of Gu Biqing, but she doesn’t say anything now, as for the Fourth Madam, she only followed Shan Tianfeng after Gu Biqing had become a nun.
Who would have thought that the woman they thought wouldn’t appear would appear again, they all became nervous.
Shen Yuhan stood aside, and and watched these people’s actions with the cool eye of a bystander1冷眼旁觀 (lěng yǎn páng guān): to look on coldly without getting involved; the cool eye of a bystander; a detached point of view; look on with a cold/fishy eye; stand aloof and look on with indifference; watch from the sidelines with a calm or indifferent attitude (mostly refers to being able to participate but unwilling to participate)..
In fact, Gu Biqing only has a false reputation2徒有虛名 (tú yǒu xū míng): lit. to possess a false title; with an undeserved reputation (idiom); unwarranted fame; nowhere near as good as he’s made out to be; to have a reputation for something one actually lacks; having a fake reputation; have a false name; have an undeserved/unearned reputation; not live up to one’s name; having an empty reputation, and the name does not match the reality., she can only make a show, but actually, there is no deterrent effect on the mesdames, at this time, what the three mesdames are most worried about is Shan Tianfeng’s condition, all they can do now is pray that his second surgery will end smoothly, and there will be no subsequent recurrence of lesions.
Gu Biqing actually knew that talking to these people was somewhat beneath her, but she had held it in for twenty years, it was rare that Shan Tianfeng was no longer young and strong3年輕力壯 (nián qīng lì zhuàng): young and vigorous (idiom); (of people) to be young and strong; in the prime of life., what would happen to the Shan family in the future, if he hadn’t had the support of her parents back then, could he, a fallen family, have reached this far and blossomed everywhere?
She stared at the lights in the operating room: It’s just a bunch of ungrateful4忘恩負義 (wàng ēn fù yì): to forget favors and violate justice (idiom); ingratitude to a friend; to kick a benefactor in the teeth; leave one’s benefactor in the lurch; forget sb’s kindness and turn one’s back on him in return; bite the hand that feeds one. things, I’ll see if he can get out of the operating room safely today.”
Shen Yuhan quietly gave Shan Qihuan a look, and said in a low voice: “Husband, didn’t the doctor say that the surgery wasn’t too dangerous?”
The result obtained from the doctor was indeed as such, Shan Qihuan nodded: “It’s not dangerous, the danger lies in the postoperative phase, fearing the spread of cancer cells, if they don’t spread, regular chemotherapy in the future will suffice, just take care of the body.”
“Oh.” He just felt like Gu Biqing seemed to pose a danger to Shan Tianfeng.
The more he observed her, the more he realized that this person was not challenging at all, the methods used were all like a concubine5姨娘 (yí niáng): (dated or Jin, Wenzhounese Wu) concubine; (Min Dong) father’s concubine; (dialectal Mandarin, Gan, Wu) maternal aunt (mother’s sister).‘s tactics, which were very crude, not at all like a woman in her sixties, perhaps there were really people who will become more immature the more they live, right.
Originally, he thought that no one would refute Gu Biqing’s words, but instead, it was the Fourth Madam, who had always been reluctant to interrupt, who opened her mouth.
The Fourth Madam said: “First Madam, you are going too far, we all hope that our husband will be well, so why are you the only one who hopes that he will not be well?”
Gu Biqing glanced at her: “Do you have any right to speak here? Don’t think that your tail will be raised just because you gave birth to a son, which of them didn’t give birth to a son?”
The Fourth Madam is only about thirty-five years old, very young, she followed Shan Tianfeng at the age of twenty-five, it can be said that she is a capable woman, ten years have passed, and Shan Tianfeng’s favor for her has not diminished.
It is impossible for Gu Biqing not to know about the existence of the Fourth Madam, she and Shan Tianfeng have been together for many years, but their love only lasted for the first three years of their passionate love period, later, Shan Tianfeng became more and more flirtatious, there were more and more women outside day by day, and gossipy news was flying everywhere.
She hates Shan Tianfeng, and also hates those women who swoop around him like flies!
The Fourth Madam was a bit surprised that Gu Biqing started with the matter of having a child: “It’s my freedom to speak why don’t you let people speak.”
Gu Biqing gave Aunt Cheng a look, and Aunt Cheng walked up to the Fourth Madam, before anyone could react, the Fourth Madam received a loud slap.
The Fourth Madam staggered back two steps, her eyes immediately turned red, and she looked a little pitiful6楚楚可憐 (chǔ chǔ kě lián): (of young women) delicate and charming; sad and pitiable; delicate and beautiful; weak, miserable, and lovable.: “How can you hit people!”
Gu Biqing sneered: “Things that can’t be put on the table, you still dare to point fingers7指手畫腳 (zhǐ shǒu huà jiǎo): to gesticulate while talking (idiom); to explain by waving one’s hands; to criticize or give orders summarily; to gesticulate; to make gestures; (figuratively) to make indiscreet remarks or criticisms; make animated gestures while speaking; raise captious objections; describing the use of gestures when speaking, it also describes giving rash instructions, criticism, or giving orders at will. at me.” She looked at everyone in the third house, “Whether Shan Tianfeng is there or not, the Shan family cannot fall into your hands, she has a point, is it useful to look for outside help?”
The Third Madam’s face was hot, and the new bride, Miss Qi, felt that she had been scolded by Gu Biqing, at this moment, she deeply realized that Shan Qiyun and her mother-in-law, one of them was an illegitimate child, and the other one was a mistress.
All the things that were hidden under the bright surface were revealed by Gu Biqing at this moment.
Shen Yuhan found it quite interesting, Gu Biqing would argue with them, which actually showed that she cared about Shan Tianfeng.
But why doesn’t Shan Tianfeng love this woman?
After two encounters, Shen Yuhan knew that she was not only sharp and unkind8尖酸刻薄 (jiān suān kè bó): acrid and unsympathetic; sharp and unkind; merciless; pitiless; tart and mean; bitterly sarcastic; speaking harshly and treating others coldly., but she was also overly paranoid, what exactly happened between them? Was it just because of Shan Tianfeng’s flirtatious behavior? She could have divorced the other person and then looked for the next happiness, but she didn’t, instead, she indulged in the fight for the affection of a man with the other three wives.
Twenty years later, she is still the same.
At this moment, no one stepped forward to stop Gu Biqing from beating the Fourth Madam, Shan Qiyuan and Shan Qibing stood aside without any concern, Shan Qihuan had suspected that the Fourth Madam had harmed him in the past, so naturally, he was too lazy to care about it, and the other sons of the other two houses were each protecting their own mothers, for fear that Gu Biqing would let Aunt Cheng hit people again.
This woman is a little crazy and doesn’t care at all.
Gu Biqing felt the tension in their eyes again, and was in a happy mood, she said: “No one can take away a penny from the Shan family.”
She wanted to say something more, but Shan Qiyuan interrupted her directly: “Mom, Dad’s surgery will take some time, why don’t you go back first, and I’ll let you know when the surgery is over.”
If the trouble continues, it will only become a joke in other people’s eyes, he doesn’t care about the faces of the people in the other three houses, but his brothers and sisters still have to continue living, they are ordinary people.
Gu Biqing is still willing to listen to Shan Qiyuan’s advice, she glanced at the lights outside the operating room, no longer lingered, and turned around to leave.
Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan looked at each other, and they chose to stay.
–
Shan Tianfeng’s surgery was successful, but he still needs to be observed in the ICU for two days, he will be transferred to the general ward only after all indicators are normal.
Perhaps God didn’t want to accept Shan Tianfeng yet, so he stayed in the ICU for one day and came out, and the next day he was walking, the progress of recovery was still good, and the doctor said that after his wound healed, he will continue to undergo a course of chemotherapy, and the situation will be reviewed later.
A week later, Shan Tianfeng had the sutures removed from his wound, and he could be discharged from the hospital after the stitches were removed.
On this day, when the three houses learned that Gu Biqing was going to be there, no one else dared to show up again, even the Fourth Madam, who had quarreled with Gu Biqing that day, preferred to stay at home.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan will come here for a walk during this time, but they had to be there today, Shan Qiyuan had specially told them to do so.
When the two arrived, Gu Biqing had not arrived yet.
Shan Tianfeng was in a good mood when he saw Shen Yuhan: “Yuhan, are you going to go out with the archaeological team recently?”
“No need, just go directly to the Archaeological Research and Conservation Center next time, which will probably be next week.” Shen Yuhan was relatively sincere when interacting with people, after all, Shan Tianfeng hadn’t done anything bad to him so far, so on the surface, he was still okay.
“Don’t try too hard, you even hurt your hand last time, it’s not worth it.” Shan Tianfeng really cares about him.
“It’s already good, it’s not serious.” Shen Yuhan said with a smile, and mentioned Shan Qihuan by the way, “Brother Qihuan went up the mountain to look for me, he also has a cold.”
Shan Tianfeng looked at Shan Qihuan, who was peeling an apple, and said: “Then you two are really, one is injured and the other is sick, be careful next time you go out, day after day, either this one is injured or that one is sick.”
In Shen Yuhan’s presence, the atmosphere in the ward was okay, he had been here for more than half a year, and Shan Qihuan and Shan Tianfeng hadn’t had any verbal disputes with each other for more than half a year.
The next part will be up soon.
