A high Superpower Level was actually a burden at a time like this. After all, the higher one’s Superpower Level, the more prone their Spiritual Sea was to problems.
Fu Cheng wasn’t unhappy about this at all. Instead, he made a silent calculation in his mind.
’There are about four months until the New Year.’
’I hope I’ll be able to stand up and have a reunion dinner at the table with Shen Lu, instead of being stuck in bed.’
Shen Lu paid for the first phase of the treatment. It came out to a little over 20,000 Star Coins, which was quite expensive.
She didn’t stay for the rehabilitation therapy. Ye Fan alone was enough.
Before leaving, Shen Lu made a trip to the orthopedics ward.
Liu Yaozu’s surgery hadn’t been complicated. In this new century with such advanced technology, it took less than an hour before he was rolled out of the operating room.
He was already back in his hospital room now.
"I’m not eating this crap, take it away!" Liu Yaozu’s arrogant, booming voice was perfectly clear even from outside the door. Shen Lu paused, not pushing the door open just yet. "She says she doesn’t have it, so she doesn’t have it? Are you listening to her bullshit?! You two idiots, you don’t even know when you’re being scammed!"
Yang Jing said timidly, "Yaozu, don’t talk like that. She’s your own sister..."
"So what if she’s my sister? Isn’t Shen Lan the one paying for me? She’s not even as good as that little bitch!"
Liu Qiang said, "Yaozu, your sister has her own difficulties. Her boss really is a tough person to deal with, very fierce."
"And I’m easy to deal with? Whatever, I’m not eating Insect Cakes. You go get her. I want to talk to her myself!"
Shen Lu chose that exact moment to push the door open and walk in.
"How was the surgery? Was it successful?"
Shen Lu’s appearance was so sudden that the three people in the room jumped in fright.
"Successful. The doctor said he can be discharged in another three days. He also said that as long as your brother’s arm heals properly, it’ll work just as well as before," Yang Jing said, quickly getting to her feet and cheerfully relaying the good news to Shen Lu.
"You still have the nerve to show your face?!" The moment Liu Yaozu opened his mouth, he cranked the tension in the room to the max. "Shen Lu, get on your fucking knees for me!"
Even though Shen Lu knew Liu Yaozu was an unpredictable person, she still had to take a long, deep breath after hearing him say something like that.
’How does a good-for-nothing scoundrel like him live to be this old?’
’Hasn’t anyone gotten so fed up with him that they beat him to death?’
"Your voice is full of energy. Looks like you’re not in any discomfort." Shen Lu gave a small smile and didn’t take the bait. Instead, she turned her head to speak with Yang Jing. "I gave Dad 100 Star Coins. If you’re frugal, it should last until he’s discharged. I’ll take you all home then."
"Shen Lu, are you deaf? I’m talking to you!" Liu Yaozu had been the most doted-on person in the family since he was little. When he spoke, the entire family had to listen and obey.
Now that Shen Lu had ignored him repeatedly, he was furious. Disregarding the doctor’s orders to rest quietly after surgery, he got up and tried to grab Shen Lu’s hair.
Liu Qiang quickly wrapped his arms around his son, and Yang Jing was scared half to death.
"Yaozu, what are you doing! The doctor told you not to move around for the next couple of days. If the bone they just set gets displaced, you’ll need another surgery."
Liu Yaozu completely ignored Liu Qiang and his wife, pointing at Shen Lu with his left hand. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Get on your fucking knees and kowtow! Apologize!"
