Su Zimo, the grandson of the Su family, hurt his brain in an accident four years ago became more stupid than a fool.
After all, a fool will find something to eat when hungry, but the empty shell in wheelchair called ā€˜Su Zimo’ won’t do anything. He’s waste that should be discarded to everyone’s eyes. It is only because of the Su family that he has been at home and taken care of so far.
It’s a pity that Young Master Su has such great skin.
This… was not only the view of outsiders toward Su Zimo, but also the consensus of the Su family toward him.
Everyone, including his father Su Gan, never thought that Su Zimo would wake up again! Almost everyone felt that the bright grandson of the Su family had been completely hopeless!
So… are they now… damned?
Wasn’t the fool arranged to stay in a room on the fifth floor? With a fool’s lack of mobility, how could it be possible to travel from the fifth floor to the second in a wheelchair?
Before rushing into the main room of the manor, everyone thought about it. But the next second, they saw, standing next to the bed, holding a long umbrella, wearing thin chained glasses, and standing tall… Su Zimo was alive!
When Su Gan, who was especially nervous, saw his son standing there without a wheelchair, the cigar in his mouth fell to the ground, as if he saw a miracle come alive.
ā€œHow is this possibleā€¦ā€ While looking at Su Zimo, the second and third sons of the Su family looked at each other in disbelief and kept muttering, ā€œIt’s impossible, this isn’t possible.ā€
Su Gan was in front of his son in an instant, fingers quivering on Su Zimo’s cheek.
It’s soft, warm!
ā€œSon! Momo! You scared Dad!ā€ Su Gan was still a bit of a dandy at the moment. He rushed at Su Zimo with snot and tears, and bear hugged his son. ā€œDad almost thought he was an old nail in the coffin. His life was in the gutter, he had no car or house, he was miserable and no one cared.ā€
Su Gan had always been a magical person in Su Zimo’s heart. What he said always gave people the feeling of honesty. But soon after Su Zimo’s mother died, Su Gan abandoned his son and left home…
During that time, Su Gan was so frivolous that the Su family could only rely on gossip and newspapers to determine the whereabouts of Su Gan and his son.
When grandpa mentioned Su Gan in front of Su Zimo, he didn’t say anything bad, but always sighed.
But no matter…
When Su Zimo was hugged so hard by his father, he could feel the long-lost warmth from his father’s arms.
ā€œMomo, why won’t you talk?ā€
ā€œIs he really Su Zimo?ā€ Second Uncle was a blunt person. He couldn’t hide the expression on his face at all, so he talked straight and his expression was obviously complicated. ā€œCouldn’t it be a different person? Fake?ā€
ā€œButler Bai, the Young Master disappeared, only the wheelchair is left in his room-ā€ Second Uncle’s doubts were cleared, and he heard another exclamation from outside.
ā€œNoisy, the patient was almost awakened by you!ā€ The female doctor standing on the side looked at the Su family with a startled expression, and the look on her face was extremely uncomfortable.
In addition to the Su family and the servants that had worked for them for many years and were shocked and stumbling, there were also some young servants that just entered the Su family’s service. They were stunned and looked up at God because they rarely saw the well-protected Young Master Zimo.
Everyone knew that the Su family grandson, Young Master Su Zimo, was simple. Some even used more unpleasant words to say that he was ā€˜paralyzed.’
Although it was often said that Young Master Zimo was the best looking child of the Su family, because the Second and Third Uncles who often showed up were rough and cold, no one gave much thought to Su Zimo’s appearance.
Su Zimo’s student life was also strictly regulated by Grandfather Su. In addition to the courses that Grandfather Su personally recommended, he also received a relatively normal school education.
Grandfather Su strictly forbid any media or any person to circulate photos or information of the Su parents and grandchildren before Su Zimo’s adulthood.
Under such protection, the young servants who appeared outside the door could not move and no one scolded them. It was the first time the few of them saw the legendary handsome Young Master Zimo. They couldn’t stop staring. They wished they could use something like a mobile phone camera.
ā€œHe grew up.ā€ Apart from Su Gan, the only one showing a grateful expression was Su Zimo’s youngest Uncle Su Ni, a well-mannered novelist who had long wanted to break away from the Su family conflicts.
The names of Su Zimo’s father and three uncles were derived from the first four characters of ā€˜Gan Duan Kun Ni, Xuan Huo Chenglu,’ meaning that the horizon is bright and cheerful. <sup>1</sup> It is the name that the old man changed after the fourth son was born, but unfortunately the Second Uncle Su Duan and Third Uncle Su Kun have always been difficult to look at.
ā€œHe’s taller, thinner, and more handsome than before!ā€ Uncle Su Ni wore a pair of black-framed glasses. His temperament was that of a normal cultured person. From the beginning, he was said to be the least Su-like member of the Su family.
When Su Ni looked Su Zimo up and down, he noticed the pair of thin-framed chained glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was stunned for a while unsure who put such a pair of high-profile glasses on Su Zimo.
ā€œThe glasses… are also pretty good. Seriously, I didn’t see Momo whenever I came back, but now he’s really mature.ā€ Su Ni’s tone was full of emotion, deliberately ignoring Su Zimo’s special circumstance over the past four years, and it sounded like an ordinary reunion of an uncle and nephew after a long time.
ā€œFourth Uncle, Third Uncle, Second Uncle, Father, I have troubled you all these years.ā€ Su Zimo looked at the loved ones before him and bowed deeply to the Su family.
Taking into account this was his grandpa’s room, Su Zimo lowered his voice, and his tone was solemn.
"
"
For a time, the atmosphere in the room was silent. Some people were emotional, some were excited, and some were in a trance. No one spoke until Su Zimo got up.
Butler Bai, who hadn’t enforced the rules since the beginning, finally found that the matter was beyond what outsiders could hear and see. While clucking his tongue, he drove away all the servants behind him and whispered softly under his breath, ā€œWhile the old man is seriously ill, the rules are getting worse and worse.ā€
Quietly waiting for the idle people to disperse were Su Zimo, Su Gan, the three Uncles, the lawyers, the female doctor who had been hanging to the side, and Grandpa Su who was lying on the bed.
To Su Zimo’s disappointment, he didn’t see Su Hewen, and hadn’t seen his immature and fierce teenage figure since the beginning.
ā€œIt’s great to be able to recover, is this a miracle?ā€ Su Gan thought and quickly tried checking the temperature of his son’s forehead. After finding nothing, he looked at the unhappy female doctor, ā€œDr. Cai, how about my son?ā€
ā€œHis face is rosy and shiny, he’s tall and thin with all of his limbs. His movements are like flowing clouds, his temperament like mountain cranes. Alive and healthy, gentle personality, beautiful and handsome. He can run and jump. Very good.ā€ The female doctor didn’t seem to look at Su Zimo, but just checked various equipment and instruments on Grandpa Su’s bedside as she took care of him.
ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€
ā€œThis Dr. Cai is your grandfather’s personal doctor. She’s been taking care of his body for four years, and thanks to her, your grandfather can wait for youā€¦ā€ Su Gan introduced Su Zimo to the female doctor who was not very good at handling others, and she was grateful for his words.
It’s just that Dr. Cai, who was facing away from people, doesn’t seem to like managing people very much.
ā€œSorry, we caused a commotion in here.ā€ Su Zimo felt that it wasn’t good to tun into his grandpa’s room so suddenly, so he apologized to Dr. Cai.
ā€œIt’s nothing.ā€ The female doctor finally turned to look at Su Zimo. ā€œIf you can wake the patient up, it’s actually a benefitā€¦ā€
The female doctor’s words hadn’t yet finished when an instrument beside the bed suddenly ā€˜beeped.’
Su Zimo and the others looked at the old man in the bed and found that the body moved. At first, Su Zimo thought it was an illusion, but after a few seconds everyone was sure that his side finger twitched a few times.
Dr. Cai rushed to the old man immediately, and after checking various data, her movements slowed down.
Because he couldn’t lend a hand, Su Zimo could only watch Dr. Cai approach them and say to them in a very low voice, ā€œGo and see the patient again, his consciousness is temporarily awake, but it may just beā€¦ā€
Before finishing, Dr. Cai stepped back to the side, seemingly helpless to the next thing.
Su Zimo’s Second and Third Uncles rushed to the old man’s bed, and Su Zimo was squeezed back with his father. But when Su Zimo looked at the resting old man, he found that he didn’t know when the old man who had been drowsy the whole time opened his eyes.
His face was rosy, but with a strange flush, and he couldn’t speak.
The old man turned his head with difficulty. Instead of looking at the four sons by the bed, his eyes passed over them and finally landed on Su Zimo standing behind them.
At that moment, the old man’s body shivered violently. Although he couldn’t speak, he continued to make noise, and his eyes were so tightly fixed on Su Zimo that they would turn red in the next second.
ā€œGrandpa… I’m back.ā€ Su Zimo walked to the other side of the bed and grabbed the old man’s nearby hand. At that time, he obviously had a lot of words to say, but only those words came to his lips. Only the simplest sentence was left, just like Su Zimo said to the old man every time after school.
ā€œWuā€“ā€œ
Although the old man couldn’t clearly express it in words, Su Zimo could feel his hand being held tightly, with the strength of a sick old man who was trying his best.
Su Zimo thought that the old man wanted to express something to him, but didn’t expect that the old man holding his hand no longer had the strength to look at him, but instead struck the bed desperately with the hand Su Zimo wasn’t holding.
ā€œBam! Bam! Bam!ā€
When everyone looked at it, they found that the old man’s hand was trembling too hard for the number ā€˜1,’ and he knocked with it again and again, unwilling to stop. <sup>2</sup>
Just when everyone was puzzled, Lawyer Xu suddenly took a step forward, coughed slightly, and said with red eyes, ā€œEveryone, the Master is hoping to inform you of the first will here in advance.ā€
First will?
ā€œYes.ā€ Lawyer Xu pressed his lips tightly. ā€œThe Master knows he hasn’t much time left, so he has already confessed to our agency that he has made two different wills, namely the first will and second will.
ā€œAccording to the instructions of the aster, we should have announced the Second Will after midnight tonight. However, if a miracle occurs and Master Zimo had even a 1% chance of waking up in his right mind before proposing the will… The Master instructed us to make sure to abolish the second will and publish the first will.ā€
Lawyer Xu looked at Su Zimo, who was standing there, and his hands holding the tablet were shaking.
ā€œI didn’t expect… the Master really waited.ā€
