Chapter 246 -245: He Knelt Down on Both Knees for Her
It’s not that Gu Siting didn’t trust Ming Yao.
Old Master Shi was a well-known old doctor in the capital, who had treated many patients with complicated and intractable diseases.
Even he had issued a death notice, could there really be a chance to save the old man?
Unless it was the legendary healer known as fox.
Over the years, he had spent a lot of connections and money searching for the whereabouts of fox, but to no avail.
Perhaps Ming Xiaoyao had some medical skills, but Gu Siting didn’t believe they could surpass those of Old Master Shi, to bring someone back from the dead!
If she couldn’t save Old Master Shi, and by then she gave the Fang Family and grandmother reasons to resent her…
Deep inside, Gu Siting didn’t want Ming Yao to take this risk!
Gu Siting was just about to refuse, but upon seeing the pleading in the woman’s eyes, the words at the tip of his tongue changed to, “Alright, you can try.”
In her presence, he found himself backing down time and again.
He could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
Gu Siting pulled Ming Yao through the younger generations kneeling on the ground and squeezed their way to the bedside.
Seeing Gu Siting pulling Ming Yao over, Old Madam Gu and Old Madam Fang were both taken aback.
Their elders hadn’t even said their goodbyes to the old master yet, and here was Gu Siting bringing Ming Yao over; it was a very disrespectful and ill-mannered act!
Old Madam Gu’s face darkened, “Ah Ting, what are you doing? Even if you want to say goodbye to Uncle Grandfather, you must wait a moment!”
Gu Siting spoke in a heavy voice, “Uncle Grandfather is still alive, what is there to say goodbye for?”
Gu Siting pushed Ming Yao to the bedside, “Take Uncle Grandfather’s pulse.”
Ming Yao squatted down by the bed and placed her slender white fingers on Grandfather Fang’s pulse.

Seeing Ming Yao’s action, Old Master Shi showed displeasure on his face, “Fourth Young Master, what is the meaning of this? Do you not trust my medical skills?”
Seeing an angered and embarrassed Old Master Shi, Old Madam Gu quickly said, “Ah Ting, at a time like this, why are you letting Ming Yao create chaos? Take her out immediately!”
“Don’t stop my wife.” Gu Siting stood behind Ming Yao like a tall and imposing mountain range, shielding her from the outside world’s aggression.
As Grandfather Fang was on his deathbed, the Fang Family members were enveloped in extreme sadness and heaviness.
In their eyes, the actions of Gu Siting and Ming Yao were utterly disrespectful to the elder who was about to pass away.
“Siting, this is the Fang Family, it’s not the place for you to wreak havoc!” Grandfather Fang’s eldest son spoke up; he gave Zhuoran a look, “Why don’t you call people in?”
Zhuoran immediately went out and called in the family’s male servants.
“Fourth Brother, you better take Ming Yao out quickly, or I won’t be polite!”
Ming Yao had already finished taking Grandfather Fang’s pulse. She stood up, her beautiful eyes now showing an edge, and said calmly yet coldly, “Do you all wish so eagerly for Grandfather Fang to pass away?”
As soon as Ming Yao spoke, the room fell into a deathly silence.
During the New Year, who would wish for a funeral in the family?
But Old Master Shi had declared that the old master was beyond help, so they had to prepare for the worst!
Shi Yuan had come to the Fang Family with Old Master Shi today and was now kneeling together with the younger members of the Fang Family.
Hearing Ming Yao’s words, she frowned and said coldly, “Miss Ming, not a single person wishes for Grandfather Fang to die of illness. Is it you, intentionally wasting time, not allowing the Fang Family to say their final goodbyes to Grandfather Fang?”
Shi Yuan’s words angered the Fang Family members.
One by one, they glared at Ming Yao with faces full of rage.
Old Madam Gu was completely infuriated, and she angrily said to Gu Siting, “Ah Ting, you always protect Ming Yao, but at a time like this, you still let her run wild? She doesn’t know a thing about medicine, how could she possibly take someone’s pulse? Quickly take her away!”
“Otherwise, I’ll have someone lock her up in the ancestral hall for reflection!”
Faced with such immense pressure, Gu Siting didn’t show the slightest sign of backing down. He only looked at Ming Yao, “Mrs. Gu, are you confident?”
“The old master has a tumor in his brain, and all his organs are in decline. The situation is indeed critical, and I can’t say there’s a hundred percent chance,” Ming Yao held up five fingers, “only fifty percent.”
The main issue was that the Old Master’s tumor had spread. Even if he were to be rescued, a full recovery would be impossible.
They could only sustain him with medication, living one year at a time.
Hearing Ming Yao’s words, Old Master Shi showed a mocking expression, “Ignorant junior! Do you want to use Brother Fang’s body as an experiment? Brother Fang’s tumor is at a terminal stage, he’s already in a lot of pain, and yet you’re dragging him along. How can you be so malicious?”
“Zhuoran, take Ming Yao to the ancestral hall!” Old Madam Gu said with a serious face.
Just as Fang Zhuoran was about to take the servants to seize Ming Yao, Gu Siting shot him a cold glance.
Seeing Gu Siting protecting Ming Yao like this, Old Madam Gu turned green with anger and immediately picked up her walking stick
and swung it hard at his back.
Gu Siting stoically took the hit from the old lady’s walking stick.
The stick made a loud noise against his back and sounded as if it were crushing bones, a pain that was palpable to any listener, yet Gu Siting did not utter a sound.
He didn’t retreat either, using his tall frame to firmly protect Ming Yao.
He knew that Old Madam Gu was prejudiced against Ming Yao, so he didn’t say anything to her. His dark eyes looked deeply at Old Madam Fang, who was overwhelmed by the grief of losing her partner, “Aunt Grandmother, my wife says there is a fifty percent chance. It’s better than letting Uncle Grandfather pass away directly. Please give her a chance!”
Gu Siting was a stubborn man who rarely asked favors from anyone.
But now, he bent both knees, knelt to the ground, and kowtowed, “Having hope is always good.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “If Mrs. Gu fails to rescue Uncle Grandfather, I will take all the responsibility.”
After Gu Siting suffered an injury as a child, Old Madam Gu took him to stay with the Fang family for a while.
Grandfather Fang and Old Madam Fang always treated him like their own, and supported him in the struggle for the Gu Family’s headship.
In the depths of his heart, he, too, couldn’t bear to see Grandfather Fang leave the world like this.
Ming Yao was shocked by Gu Siting’s actions, and her heart was filled with emotion.
This foolish man!
Old Madam Fang was moved by Gu Siting’s words. In her eyes, Gu Siting was cold and arrogant, never easily bowing down to anyone.
If he could go to this extent, she thought it was not because he wanted his wife to show off.
Rather, he sincerely wanted Grandfather Fang to live.
Old Madam Fang didn’t know the extent of Ming Yao’s medical skills, but she chose to trust Gu Siting.
“Everyone, leave. Let Little Yao stay here.”
Upon hearing Old Madam Fang’s decision, Old Master Shi, Shi Yuan, Old Madam Gu, and the Fang family members were all very shocked and found it unbelievable.
“Sister-in-law, you’re letting Ah Ting be reckless, and you’re just going by with it?” Old Madam Gu disagreed with Old Madam Fang’s decision.
Old Madam Fang stood up from the bed, her walking stick forcefully stabbing at the ground, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Can I still make decisions in this house now?”
Although she was advanced in age, she was still the authoritative matriarch of the Fang family. When serious, her matriarchal presence was fully displayed.
