Lu Chengzhou’s chilly eyes glared at her. “Aunt?”
Lu Ruoshui was the youngest daughter of the Lu Family.
The woman’s phoenix eyes passed over Lu Shangjin and she said mildly, “Chengzhou, you can go in, but not the pair behind you.”
The rest of the people looked on maliciously.
With such a distinguished person as Lu Ruoshui here, they only had to stay quiet and watch the unfolding scene.
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips slightly and his expression morphed into one of annoyance.
Lu Yī read the expression and immediately tugged at Lu Ruoshui’s elbow and dragged her to the side.
Caught unaware, Lu Ruoshui started shouting, “Lu Yī, you impudent creature! How dare a servant treat me like this!”
Lu Yī released her elbow and bocked her with his tall and broad figure. “My apologies for the offence, Ms. Ruoshui.”
“Scram!” Lu Ruoshui glared at him.
Lu Yī did not budge an inch.
“I have no energy to watch you fight.”
Lu Chengzhou suddenly spoke. His cold gaze was ummoving as he said carelessly, “If anyone doesn’t understand how to behave, I can teach you for free.”
His words were drawled out apathetically, bearing a fear-inducing tone.
In an instant, everyone fell silent.
The courtyard regained its peace.
Lu Chengzhou pushed the door open and brought Gu Mang and Lu Shangjin in.
There was a crowd of people in the grandmother’s room.
State-of-the-art machinery and the most effective medicines lay in the room.
Three of the first-rate military doctors belonging to the medical organization stood by the foot of the old grandmother’s bed. They seemed a little helpless in the face of the crisis at hand.
They had already tried draining away the hemorrhage in her brain, but it had proven useless.
Lu Xiwei said in a low voice, “Uncles, an operation has to be performed to remove the blood clot in Granny’s brain or she’ll be in danger!”
Lu Xiwei was the daughter of the second son of the Lu Family.
She had great medical expertise and was regarded as the foremost brain authority and expert by the medical organization.
One of the military doctors mented, “Miss Lu, the Matriarch is of an advanced age and cannot handle an operation on the brain.”
Lu Xiwei knitted her brows. “We’ll all be present for the operation and there’s a one in four chance of success. If we don’t proceed with the operation, Granny may not even live past tonight!”
The three military doctors exchanged glances, their gazes heavy.
After a few seconds of silence, they arrived at a unanimous decision.
“Alright, Ms. Lu, we’ll proceed with the operation. You shall be the lead surgeon.”
Lu Xiwei uttered a soft assent.
The nurse started the preparations immediately, pushing the old grandmother to the already sterilized operating theater in the Lu residence.
Gu Mang stood at the door, her cool eyes observing the old grandmother lying on the bed.
At the end of the doctors’ exchange, her lips twitched carelessly and she said in a mild tone, “You want to proceed with the operation when the patient is in such a state? I reckon that she will die on the operating table.”
