It was the busy ti between the end of work and dinner when Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang arrived at the hospital’s ergency room, only to find it packed with patients, family mbers, and dical personnel bustling about.
Soon, Elder Xie was brought in and examined by Zhou Zhongqing himself.
"Doctor Zhou, how is my father?" Du Jinglan had been following closely the entire ti. Just as she was about to approach, an assistant doctor stopped her, "Please stay calm, we need to examine the elder first."
The ergency room was chaotic, the tense atmosphere inevitably making everyone edgy.
Those who followed Elder Xie to the hospital included not just the Xie family, but also Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian, and behind them, a lawyer.
"Brother?" Jiang Jinsang frowned, "Didn’t you and sister-in-law go to grandfather’s house?"
The Fan family lived on the outskirts of town; it was impossible for them to arrive so quickly.
Jiang Yanting frowned but said nothing.
The video of their marriage proposal had just been uploaded online, and the ergency room, already a place with many onlookers, attracted even more attention with the arrival of patients with both serious conditions and minor complaints like colds or fevers.
The news of Elder Xie’s sudden fainting and hospitalization spread in an instant on the internet...
[I saw Jiang Er Ye and Xie family’s youngest aunt at the hospital, it’s indeed true that Elder Xie fainted. The Xie family is all there, including Xie Gongzi.]
[Why did Elder Xie faint? It’s supposed to be a happy event with the young aunt getting married.]
[Now a good event has turned into a bad one.]
...
After Zhou Zhongqing finished the examination, his expression grew even more somber. Turning his head to look at the assistant doctor, he said, "Arrange a ward for him first."
After that, he turned to look at everyone present, "Who was there when Elder Xie fainted? Co with , I have questions for you."
The gaze of the Xie family mbers instantly converged on Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian. Shen Zhixian’s face was slightly pale and she looked bewildered, clearly showing that she had been scared as well.
"I was there," Jiang Yanting stepped forward.
Zhou Zhongqing then told the assistant about further procedures, probably about moving into a ward and setting up so equipnt... Xie Duo was busy paying the bills, and the transfer from the ergency room to the ward seed a bit chaotic.
Several devices had been set up on the elder gentleman, and family mbers were, for the ti being, asked to leave.
Xie Yongqi, who was originally out at a social engagent, rushed to the hospital upon hearing that his father had suddenly fainted...
"Where’s dad? What happened? How could he have fainted just like that?" Elder Xie had always been in good health. His sudden fainting threw the entire Xie family into disarray.
"I’m not sure myself. He’s in the ward now, he should be alright for now..." Du Jinglan was so anxious her eyes were red.
"What exactly caused him to faint?"
Xie Yongqi definitely wanted to know the reason. It couldn’t just be without cause...
"Big brother..." Shen Zhixian suddenly spoke up, "It’s my fault."
"What happened to you?" Xie Yongqi frowned, "Today Jiang Yanting proposed to you. Elder should have been very happy, it can’t be that he was too excited that he..."
Fainted from excitent? That seed unlikely.
"No," Shen Zhixian shook her head, but she lowered her head and bit her lip, obviously hesitating to speak.
"Lawyer Xiang, you were also there at the ti. Just what happened?" Du Jinglan suddenly turned to the lawyer standing beside them, who had been following the whole ti, silent,
The lawyer also appeared to be in a difficult position.
"What? Even at this point, is there sothing you can’t talk about? Could it be that we are unworthy to know even the reason behind our father’s fainting?" Du Jinglan bit her lip, seemingly getting more anxious and worked up, "If anything serious happens to him today, who is going to take the responsibility?"
"Madam..." the lawyer frowned, "It’s related to the division of property, I indeed..."
The lawyer had his own considerations.
Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang stood to one side; as outsiders, they were unaware of the details and thus could not interject.
"Fifth Brother, what is this..." Tang Wan frowned, obviously sensing trouble brewing. Based on the current situation, when Elder Xie fainted, only Jiang Yanting, Shen Zhixian, and the lawyer were present.
If Shen Zhixian refuses to talk and the lawyer hesitates, it indicates that the fainting was no unexpected accident - there must have been a trigger.
"Let’s just wait and see," Jiang Jinsang remained calm.
...
"We were outside and just heard loud sounds of things being thrown inside. What on earth happened to make father so angry?" Du Jinglan pressed on.
"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry," Shen Zhixian still kept her head low.
"Young aunt?" Xie Tongtong frowned.
In admitting her fault, Shen Zhixian seed to be telling everyone that Elder Xie’s fainting was related to her.
"What are you sorry for? Speak clearly..." Du Jinglan seed to be growing impatient.
"Actually, it was due to the issue of family division, there was a disagreent," Shen Zhixian confessed with her head down, "Uncle hopes that in the future division, the shares I hold in the company can be diluted to benefit Taotao. But Jiangjiang is also my child, I’ve been missing from his life for so many years, I’m already at fault towards him. Whatever Taotao receives, I naturally hope he can have too, but Uncle..."
