Chapter 574: Biological Dad, Are You Going to Make a Move?
Watching as Xi Rubao talked and started crying.Gu Pinting thought she was intentionally showing joy at gaining followers, and felt even more jealous: "It’s just a few million lousy followers, is it worth getting so excited? Anyway, no matter how many followers you gain, you can never surpass my Brother Qi, Shen Jiaqi!!"
"I already said I’m not interested in comparing with your so-called Brother Qi or whoever, don’t you understand human language?" Xi Rubao looked up adoringly at Zuzi, filled with the moving feeling of her merging her revered Nuwa, guardian of humanity, with her immortal sister.
Of course, she didn’t treat Gu Pinting, that troublemaker, kindly.
Before Gu Pinting could strike back.
Qin Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah," shaking her phone screen: "Baby, you’re really incredible, your followers have already surpassed ten million before Shen Jiaqi, you might be the first live streamer across the entire internet to reach ten million followers, right?"
Everyone: "...!"
The Gu Family has birthed a live streamer with ten million followers.
And it’s this county-town girl, Xi Rubao!
Gu Shiyin, who had been silently standing at the foot of the bed, suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable, as if everyone wasn’t stepping on Gu Pinting’s face right now, but on hers.
She pressed her lips together, said nothing, and looked at the still slumbering Mr. Gu.
She had no time to deal with the live streaming incident; all she hoped for now was that Mr. Gu wouldn’t wake up, so that Zuzi, that preacher who talks nonsense, would lose all credibility, with no one believing her anymore.
Not to mention an Empire renowned doctor kneeling before Zuzi to elevate her status.
But then...
Mr. Gu’s finger suddenly twitched!
Gu Shiyin thought she was seeing things.
Everyone was focused on the host PK controversy; only she was watching Mr. Gu. She rubbed her eyes and continued looking.
Mr. Gu’s lips moved again!
Could it be... he’s really waking up?
Gu Jingyan hasn’t even completed the last good deed yet, has he?
Realizing her train of thought involuntarily followed Zuzi’s set rules, Gu Shiyin couldn’t help but mock herself inwardly: surely it wasn’t because of Zuzi’s prescription.
But, what if Mr. Gu really wakes up?
No other doctors had treated Mr. Gu, so naturally everyone would credit Zuzi.
But if she gave Grandpa medicine now...
Then the credit would be hers.
She did have some pills on her, though none specifically for heart disease, so they were somewhat harmful for the patient to take.
Yet the situation was urgent, leaving her no choice.
The problem was, Mr. Gu shouldn’t wake up yet.
He needs to remain comatose for a few more minutes, enough time for her to administer the medicine.
How could she delay his waking up?
Gu Shiyin quickly scanned the equipment at the head of the bed, spotting the oxygen supply machine.
Mr. Gu suffered a heart attack partly due to insufficient blood and oxygen supply, so he needs to keep inhaling oxygen to stay stable.
If the oxygen supply is cut off... the old man would surely remain unconscious.
But it would also endanger his life!
Gu Shiyin hesitated; after all, he was her father, her biological father.
But she would only cut it for a few dozen seconds.
A lack of oxygen for several seconds shouldn’t be fatal, at most causing minor damage to the brainstem.
The cost of all this, compared to letting Zuzi prove her wild claims right and steal the limelight, is indeed nothing.
Gu Shiyin didn’t hesitate any longer, quietly maneuvering from the foot of the bed to the head while no one was looking, ready to unplug the oxygen machine...
