Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

"Child...you, your...father...?"

Fu Yunqing asked cautiously, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Li Shuqing's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

It seemed she had never met Su Ruan's father.

She had never heard a word about Su Ruan's father from anyone in the town.

Su Ruan looked at Grandma Fu's cautious and fearful gaze, but did not feel offended in the slightest.

But she didn't know either.

Of all the memories I can recall, there is no information about my father.

"You'll have to ask my mom."

"And your mother?"

"My mom is abroad right now and won't be back until next week."

Fu Yunqing looked slightly disappointed.

She truly hoped, perhaps... perhaps...

Li Shuqing patted Fu Yunqing's hand and said, "Don't worry."

"If Ruanruan agrees, you can do a test first."

Fu Yunqing's eyes trembled. "Is it...is it possible?"

Even Old Master Gu showed a sincere look in his eyes.

Su Ruan herself doesn't mind much.

If it's not as they guessed, figuring it out sooner will help them let it go sooner.

"Let's test it."

"However, I still hope you are mentally prepared and don't have too high expectations."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm already very grateful that I'm still alive to see this pendant."

Grandma Fu nodded repeatedly.

Old Gu waved his hand, and immediately someone came over, wearing gloves and carrying cotton swabs.

Su Ruan cooperated and took a sample.

Grandma Fu and Grandpa Gu also took a copy.

"Send it to the nearest testing center; I need the results as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the sample was taken, Mrs. Fu looked much more relaxed.

She came over with a smile and pulled Su Ruan to sit down next to her.

"Ruan Ruan, I never imagined that the little girl next door would have such a connection with me one day."

"Don't worry, it's been tested. Whether you are or not, you are still my granddaughter."

"I've watched you grow up. During the most difficult years of my life, it was you, this little girl, who entered my world."

As Grandma Fu spoke, she took an emerald ring off her finger.

"This ring has been with me for many years, and now I'm giving it to you."

Li Shuqing's pupils contracted as she looked at the ring.

"This...this isn't..."

But after receiving a sharp warning look from Fu Yunqing, Li Shuqing swallowed back what she was about to say.

Su Ruan still keenly sensed that the ring was unusual.

"Grandma Fu, this ring is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"Take it, it's just a ring, it's not worth much."

Indeed, if you don't consider the meaning behind this ring, it's not worth much, maybe around three million.

Su Ruan was a little embarrassed to accept it, but Grandma Fu had already taken her finger and put it on her finger.

Gifted by the elders, dare not to give up.

It's not impossible to find a godmother.

If there's a problem with this ring later, I can just return it.

The main issue is that Grandma Fu has already experienced too many emotional ups and downs today, and given her physical condition, it's best for her to remain calm.

Moreover, she glanced at Old Master Gu, but Old Master Gu did not seem to object.

That's it.

"grandmother!"

She shouted it out immediately.

Regardless of the outcome, it fulfilled the old man's last wish.

Su Ruan wasn't nervous at all, because she didn't think she could be Grandma Fu's granddaughter by sheer coincidence.

"Why!"

Grandma Fu agreed immediately.

Although there wasn't much trace of her son on her face, how can one explain the connection between people?

Just when she was immersed in grief, this little girl barged into her life.

As she lay dying, it was this young girl who resolved the last remaining question left by her son's death.

Even without blood ties, this little girl is definitely an angel left to her by her son in heaven.

After recognizing her godmother, Su Ruan looked at Fu Xiao, who was almost invisible.

"So what are you now?"

"Your brother."

Fu Xiao said succinctly.

Su Ruan immediately grinned.

Now we have another older brother.

He's also a very capable older brother.

Grandma Fu then looked at Fu Xiao.

"That's right, from now on, Xiao is your older brother. If anyone bullies you, just tell Xiao and he'll take care of them!"

"good!"

Although it's highly unlikely that she'll need this older brother's protection, it's still a token of Grandma Fu's goodwill.

Grandma Fu seemed finally relieved.

The smile on his face was kind and warm.

But soon, Mrs. Fu began to cough violently.

"grandmother!"

Su Ruan was startled.

She knew that Grandma Fu didn't seem to be in good condition, but she didn't expect it to be this serious.

"Master!" she cried out to the divine physician.

Li Shuqing had already stepped forward and given an injection.

Grandma Fu's condition has only slightly improved.

"Don't bother," she said, panting.

"I know my own body; I can't hold on much longer."

"If you hadn't pulled me back from the brink of death three years ago, I wouldn't be here now."

Li Shuqing's eyes were filled with tears.

"Speaking of which, Ruan Ruan is the very talented little girl I told you about."

"It was she who found all the missing pieces and pieced together the Nine Needles for Rejuvenation."

"Oh?" Fu Yunqing's eyes lit up again.

"You saved me three years ago!"

Su Ruan blinked.

Is that so?

"Yes," Li Shuqing said, "Back then, you excitedly told me that you had found the Nine Needles for Rejuvenating Yang. I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect it to actually be true."

"After we parted ways, I went to see your Grandma Fu. By then, her body was already in critical condition. Only after I learned the method to protect her heart meridian did I dare to boldly administer acupuncture and save her from the brink of death."

"It's just a pity that when I came back to find you..."

Li Shuqing did not say anything more.

But Su Ruan had already understood.

Based on her recovered memories and the fragments left to her by that soul, she roughly guessed that after her master returned, he encountered another version of her.

Li Shuqing paused for a moment before continuing, "After that, I traveled to various places and neglected you."

Her gaze toward Fu Yunqing was filled with guilt.

Fu Yunqing didn't seem to care much. "You pulled me back from the brink of death back then, that's enough."

"Life and death are preordained. Even if you are revered as a divine healer, you cannot grant immortality to everyone."

"I am content now. I not only saw the jade pendant, but I also saw you."

Fu Yunqing looked at Su Ruan with loving eyes.

Su Ruan sensed the intense emotions emanating from Grandma Fu, and her heart ached.

Grandma Fu, really, is there really no way to save her?

It's a pity she didn't study medicine seriously. Even her master was powerless, so what could she do?

Whether or not she was her biological grandmother, Grandma Fu was someone who left a deep mark on her life.

"Stop talking, save your breath, the test results aren't out yet."
