Everyone was dumbfounded. For a moment, they looked at Shen Jinxi as if he were a celestial being, even Fu Tingyi and Fang Ruo were rendered speechless.
They could no longer say anything else and could only surround the old madam, acting dutifully and showing extreme concern.
However, Old Madam Fu did not even spare them a glance. Her lips moved, and no one could hear what she said before she slowly closed her eyes again.
This caused everyone to panic once more.
Shen Jinxi quickly said, "Don't worry, Great-Grandmother is out of danger, she just needs to rest."
The crowd found this statement somewhat unreliable. After all, they simply did not believe that Shen Jinxi, at such a young age, could save someone. Facing their questioning gazes, Fu Tingyi also felt it was not quite right, "Jingshu, why hasn't the doctor arrived yet? Perhaps we should take Grandma to the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo arrived with the family doctor.
The moment he entered, he immediately examined Old Madam Fu. His solemn expression slowly turned to surprise, "Did someone perform emergency first aid on the old madam?"
Fang Ruo nodded, "It was Chenchen… Doctor, is my mother getting worse?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank with worry.
Shen Qingqing subtly shielded the child behind her.
The doctor looked at the young master of the Fu family with amazement, "The old madam's emotions fluctuated too much, her blood pressure rose, and she had a heart attack. If this situation is not handled properly, it could be fatal, but the young master did an excellent job."
"Then why did my mom pass out again if she woke up?" Fang Ruo asked, unwilling to give up.
"The old madam is old, and after experiencing such an event, she definitely needs to rest." The doctor looked around, "There are too many people here, the hallway is narrow, and the air is not good. Let's move the old madam to the bedroom first."
Fu Jingshu personally carried Old Madam Fu to the bed in the bedroom, and the doctor checked on her.
As for the guests, Fu Jingshu had Lin Mo escort them downstairs, while Fu Tingyi and Fang Ruo also stood by the bedside, appearing very concerned about the old madam.
Fu Jingshu glanced at them before his gaze fell upon Shen Jinxi. He subtly brought the child to his side, placing a hand on his head, "Don't worry, you did very well today."
Shen Jinxi looked up, "Daddy, aren't you angry that I acted on my own?"
"How could I be." Fu Jingshu ruffled his hair, his warm palm giving him a great sense of security, "If it weren't for you, your Great-Grandmother…"
The rest of the words were unspoken, but he and Shen Jinxi understood.
Shen Jinxi leaned by the bed, looking at his Great-Grandmother. He liked this old woman very much. She was kind and gentle. If his mother was like the sea, then she was like a small stream, silently doting on him. This feeling was different from that of his parents.
Fu Jingshu, with one hand behind his back, said to Shen Qingqing, "Keep an eye on things here, I'll go downstairs to deal with the guests."
"Okay."
Fu Jingshu turned and went downstairs, where he met Lin Mo, who was about to go upstairs. He pulled Lin Mo aside and handed him a strand of hair, which was soft and slightly curly.
Lin Mo looked surprised, "Is this the young master's hair?"
Fu Jingshu nodded, "Get a paternity test done."
"But we've already done it before, haven't we?" Lin Mo thought it was to be tested with Shen Qingqing, but he didn't expect Fu Jingshu to hand him his own hair, and he was immediately surprised, "With you? Are you suspecting the young master isn't…"
Before he could finish, he was met with a cold, warning gaze.
He immediately swallowed his words.
At the turn of the stairs, Shen Qingqing silently turned and left. Upon reaching the doorway, she took out her phone and sent Shen Jinxi a text message asking him to find an excuse to come out.
The little fellow didn't ask any questions and simply said he needed to go to the restroom. Fortunately, Fu Tingyi and Fang Ruo were not paying attention to him, allowing him to slip away successfully.
When he reached the corridor, he was unexpectedly pulled into a room. Just as he was about to retaliate, he smelled a familiar faint fragrance.
He immediately relaxed, "Mommy?"
Shen Qingqing was worried that Fu Jingshu might become suspicious if they were gone for too long. She spoke briefly, "Xixi, your display of medical skills has already aroused Fu Jingshu's suspicion. You need to be more careful from now on, and absolutely do not reveal any more clues."
Shen Jinxi's small face became serious, "I know, Mommy, but I can't just stand by and do nothing…"
"Mommy doesn't blame you, you did the right thing." If Shen Jinxi hadn't acted, Shen Qingqing would have. She couldn't just watch an old person die, "You're amazing."
A brilliant smile bloomed on Shen Jinxi's small face, "Mommy, I will be extra careful from now on."
After their conversation, the mother and son quickly left the room. Just as they arrived at the entrance of the old madam's bedroom, they saw Fu Jingshu's back as he stood by the bed.
Mother and son exchanged a look, their expressions mirroring each other's seriousness.
At this moment, the old madam woke up. Fu Tingyi and his wife fawned over her with concern, but the old madam didn't even give them a glance. She spoke weakly and slowly, "Jingshu, call Qingqing here."
Fu Jingshu responded, turned, and saw the mother and son standing at the doorway. His gaze flickered, and without asking anything, he beckoned them over.
The two walked in and stopped by the bedside.
Looking at the mother and child, Old Madam Fu felt a fleeting sense of resemblance in their brows, but she was too tired at the moment to think much about it. She slowly extended her hand.
Shen Qingqing took the old madam's somewhat thin and aged hand, "Grandma."
"Ai," Old Madam Fu responded, gripping Shen Qingqing's hand tightly. "Good child, I know you are a good person. I liked you the moment I saw you. For so many years, Jingshu's marriage has always been a concern of mine. Now that I have you, I can finally rest easy."
Fu Tingyi immediately interjected, "Mother, you shouldn't…"
"Shut up," Old Madam Fu's voice deepened slightly, and her breathing became somewhat rapid. Then she felt a soft hand patting her chest.
The hand's pressure was just right, and it quickly smoothed her rapid breathing.
"Grandma, you need to rest now. You can't have too much emotional fluctuation, and you absolutely cannot get angry," Shen Qingqing advised.
Old Madam Fu nodded obediently, but she knew herself that her time was limited. She was old, and although she appeared relatively healthy, her inner strength had long since withered.
"I have decided on this marriage today. As long as Jingshu and Qingqing don't object, no one can change it. Fu Tingyi, if you want me to live a few more years, you will shut your mouth. Otherwise, you will be the unfilial son who angers his mother to death. I don't care what the outside world says about you, but remember, the Fu family's assets will never fall into the hands of an unfilial son."
Old Madam Fu was also resolute.
Fu Tingyi's face turned a shade of pig liver, but he inexplicably dared not retort.
An eerie silence descended upon the bedroom.
