He slammed his cane against the ground, making a loud "thud" like a clap of thunder.
His eyes were filled with anger as he scolded Gao Rui, "Gao Rui, don't cause trouble here."
Li Yan is someone Yu Jing likes, so it's only natural for her to go in and see him. Stop making these little moves here.
Gao Rui's face turned deathly pale after being scolded by Old Master Duan.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to refute it.
In the corridor outside the intensive care unit, the atmosphere became tense because of Gao Rui's obstruction.
Xie Changyan watched all this quietly from the side, his eyes filled with heartache.
Seeing Li Yan being unjustly harassed by Gao Rui, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks about Gao Rui.
"Gao Rui, you're quite the actress."
You just said you had no feelings for Yu Jing, but now you're doing everything you can to stop Li Yan from seeing her. You're really scheming. What, seeing Li Yan being approved by Old Master Duan makes you restless?"
Gao Rui's face turned ugly the moment she heard Xie Changyan's words.
Her face flushed red, a flash of anger in her eyes. She turned around, glared at Xie Changyan, and retorted, "What right do you have to talk about me like this? You're so protective of Li Yan, who knows what kind of shady relationship you have with her? Maybe you're just trying to curry favor with her. You know best what you're really thinking."
Li Yan had been tolerating Gao Rui's provocations, but when she heard Gao Rui's malicious speculations about Xie Changyan and herself, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Her previously calm face turned cold. She straightened her back, looked directly into Gao Rui's eyes, and retorted without backing down, "Gao Rui, don't make false accusations here."
Xie Changyan only spoke up because he couldn't stand your unreasonable behavior.
My relationship with him is completely innocent, unlike you, who spends all your time scheming against others.
Do you think you can win Duan Yujing's heart by doing this? You're wrong. Your little tricks are worthless in the face of true feelings.
Li Yan's voice was clear and firm, every word filled with power.
Grandpa Duan stood aside, quietly watching all of this.
A hint of approval flashed in Li Yan's eyes as she decisively retorted to Gao Rui.
This girl is good. If she becomes the matriarch of the Duan family in the future, she won't be able to establish herself in the family if she's too soft-hearted.
Li Yan didn't have that petty air about her; on the contrary, she was generous and magnanimous. She could fight back without hesitation when faced with provocation, which is the kind of spirit that someone who can uphold the Duan family should have.
Grandpa Duan frowned, looking at Gao Rui with a hint of authority and displeasure in his eyes, and scolded, "Gao Rui, haven't you made enough of a scene? Look at the state you're in now, you're just being unreasonable."
Li Yan is right, all your little schemes have been seen through.
Then, he turned to look at Li Yan, his eyes softening, and said, "Child, go in and check on Yu Jing. I've been through so much with this old body of mine, and now that Yu Jing is alright, I should go back and rest."
His voice carried the kindness of an elder, yet also an undeniable authority.
When Gao Rui heard that Grandpa Duan wanted to let Li Yan in, she wanted to say something more, but her eyes were full of resentment.
She took a small step forward, as if trying to stop Li Yan from going in, but then stopped in fear of Old Master Duan's authority.
When Grandpa Duan saw Gao Rui's actions, he became even angrier.
