After the three returned, Xu Renhai sighed and said, "I’m going to tell you sothing now, everyone prepare yourselves ntally! The old man won’t last much longer. Rember every word I’m saying now! No matter what happens, our Xu Family must not fall into chaos, and neither can Xu Group."
"During this upcoming period, we must work together to ensure that the Xu Family successfully overcos this crisis. Moreover, during the last few days that the old man is alive, no one is allowed to disclose the news of his impending death, keep your mouths shut! Otherwise, don’t bla for turning against you!"
Upon hearing her father’s words, Xu Lingyue, standing in front of the crowd, appeared as if struck by lightning, her small face turning pale, standing dazed.
Her face revealed a hint of sorrow, tears uncontrollably streaming down, falling in large drops.
She never expected to hear such tragic news! The grandfather who always loved and spoiled her was about to leave her.
"Why... How could this happen?!"
Xu Lingyue felt terrible, as if she were stuck in a nightmare.
Everything ca too suddenly.
"Ah... How could a remarkable person like the old man suddenly not be able to hold on?"
"Even Elder Hua said there’s no way; it seems this ti really carries great danger! However, such things are normal; the old man is already in his eighties."
"But things are too rushed; the old man suddenly fell into a coma, didn’t leave any instructions, not even a will! Who is the most suitable heir in the old man’s mind, the eldest son or the second son?"
"Given the circumstances, extraordinary people often like to live in seclusion outside; I wonder if there’s such a famous doctor outside our Haogang?"
"Don’t daydream; Haogang is a tiny place; who would live in seclusion here? Elder Hua is already the most formidable doctor we have in Haogang!"
...
Listening to the murmurs of the Xu family children around, especially hearing the words ’famous doctor’.
Made Xu Lingyue’s delicate body suddenly tremble, for so reason, Ye Xuan’s figure imdiately erged in her mind.
The last ti on the plane, Ye Xuan left the deepest impression on her by easily curing the elderly man’s allergic condition with acupuncture, indicating his dical technique is certainly not weak; no, it should be very powerful.
Maybe... Ye Xuan could really save her grandfather!
Perhaps stemming from a woman’s intuition, when she thought of Ye Xuan, Xu Lingyue instinctively trusted him, believing Ye Xuan could cure her grandfather’s illness.
"Yes! I’ll go find Ye Xuan to have him treat my grandfather."
As this thought sprang up in her mind, Xu Lingyue didn’t hesitate, said nothing more, and turned to leave the villa.
"This girl is getting more unruly; she’s utterly spoiled by her mother!"
Seeing Xu Lingyue leave alone, Xu Renhai’s face turned rather unpleasant.
Xu Renjie consoled, "Brother, don’t bla Lingyue; you know father dotes on her. Upon hearing such news, it’s normal that she can’t accept it; don’t act like a child... By the way, brother, do you rember what I told you last ti? The young master of the He Family, He Zhipeng, is very interested in our Lingyue. I suggest we take this opportunity for our two families to unite by marriage! In this way, even if father passes away, our Xu Family will rge with the He Family, and with their support, we can safely get through the trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Renhai interrupted him directly, shaking his head and said, "No way! Brother, surely you know what kind of person He Zhipeng is? He indulges in pursuits and spends extravagantly; he’s a complete idle young man, changing girlfriends faster than changing clothes. Letting Lingyue marry him would ruin my daughter’s happiness forever! I won’t agree to this!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of malice and ridicule flashed in Xu Renjie’s eyes, but he knew how to hide it well, so Xu Renhai did not notice.
Xu Renjie continued, "Brother, think carefully, once the old man is gone, those families won’t easily let us off; then, you should know what kind of disaster will befall the Xu Family! But if we ally with the He Family, with their support, the Xu Family can smoothly through this crisis."
"Of course, Lingyue is your daughter, but she’s also my niece. Sacrificing my niece’s happiness for marriage doesn’t make , as an uncle, happy either! But compared to the stability and continuation of the family, which is more important? Brother, if father knows the family falls into turmoil after his death, he wouldn’t rest peacefully."
"This..."
Hearing this, especially the last sentence, Xu Renhai hesitated.
...
anwhile.
Ye Xuan returned to the hotel room, after video chatting with his wife for a while, he told her how he dealt with Lin Zifeng, and Lin Tong also expressed strong agreent.
As for Lin Zifeng’s bleak future, neither Ye Xuan nor Lin Tong ntioned it.
If Lin Zifeng weren’t Lin Tong’s brother, given his previous actions, not to ntion Ye Xuan, even Lin Tong would want him to disappear from the mortal world.
After chatting for half an hour, they ended the video call.
Seeing the sky darkening, Ye Xuan ordered a serving of pan-seared steak and red wine through the room’s front desk and enjoyed it alone.
One must say, this place deserves to be Haogang’s premium hotel, the food is sourced from a well-known international ranch, providing an excellent taste.
Although Ye Xuan is not particular about food, the taste of the dish before him made him feel very satisfied.
Ding-dong —
After Ye Xuan leisurely enjoyed his al alone, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Hmm? Who could be looking for ?"
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, his brow furrowing imperceptibly.
Logically speaking, such a high-end hotel typically avoids disturbing guests, especially since Ye Xuan stayed in a deluxe business suite, second only to the presidential suite.
The hotel staff knows well that those who stay here are either wealthy or prominent, and they wouldn’t commit a faux pas like this!
After a mont of doubt, Ye Xuan still opened the door.
However, upon seeing who was standing outside, a look of imnse surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Little Yueyue, why are you here?" Ye Xuan asked with surprise.
For the person standing outside at present was indeed Xu Lingyue.
Yet her situation seed a bit off!
Her eyes were obviously swollen and filled with bloodshot streaks; there were traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, as if she had just been crying.
In Xu Lingyue’s gaze, Ye Xuan clearly felt her overwhelming sadness.
"Little Yueyue, was soone bullying you?" Ye Xuan asked in a deep voice.
Ye Xuan’s caring words ward Xu Lingyue’s heart slightly.
But thinking about her grandfather still in bed, possibly leaving the world at any mont, a wave of sorrow surged again within her, and crystal tears burst out again, dropping down like broken pearls.
Finally, unable to hold back, she threw herself into Ye Xuan’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
