When Lu Wusui and Jiang Huai rushed to the hospital, the Lu family was already in chaos.

　He originally didn’t want Jiang Huai to come, but Jiang Huai insisted on coming, and time was urgent, so Lu Wusui didn’t say anything else.

　Old Madam Lu was in the emergency room and there was no movement.

　The relatives were originally chattering, but when they saw Lu Wusui coming, they automatically fell silent and looked at each other.

　He looked like he had something to say but was too timid to say it.

　Lu Wusui suppressed his anger and said, “Do you think it’s not chaotic enough now?”

　It is well known that he has a bad temper.

　However, money and power have always been the most courageous. Even though they have just learned a lesson, some people still don’t know how to live or die and say, “Nephew, your grandma has cancer, did you know that?”

　Lu Wusui’s pupils shrank.

　Seeing his face darken, the man’s courage suddenly disappeared.

　The remaining relatives whispered to each other and dared not speak anymore.

　In the almost suffocating atmosphere, Jiang Huai suddenly stepped forward and tugged at Lu Wusui’s sleeve.

　Lu Wusui shook his hand back fiercely, suppressing the emotions surging in his eyes.

　An unknown amount of time had passed before Jiang Huai felt that his legs were almost numb from standing so long.

　The doctor finally came out of the emergency room and said to Lu Wusui, “The old lady is out of danger for the time being, but she still needs to be observed in the ICU for 24 hours. Only when she is fine after 24 hours will she be truly out of danger.”

　Lu Wusui lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

　The relatives nearby didn’t know whether they should be happy or not, and pretended to be relieved.

　——This is the person the old lady is protecting.

　In comparison, they are not even as sincere as Jiang Huai.

　Jiang Huai and the old lady have no feelings for each other. If Jiang Huai holds a grudge, it is understandable that he would feel resentment towards the old lady.

　Lu Wusui concealed the emotions in his eyes and watched the old lady being pushed out of the emergency room.

　The old lady’s body was full of various tubes.

　The last time Jiang Huai saw her, she looked pretty good. How long has it been? The old lady has become haggard and has become a completely different person.

　She is nothing like the pampered old lady Lu before.

　The hospital bed flashed past everyone.

　Lu Wusui suddenly asked, “Where is Tang Pingjian?”

　There was something strange about this name coming out of his mouth.

　Everyone was stunned, and then shook their heads.

　Lu Chengchun stepped forward and said, “After my mother was sent to the hospital, he stayed in the emergency room for a while. As soon as we arrived, he was gone.”

　She remembered something and gritted her teeth and said, “He was the last person my mother had contact with. Could it be that my mother was so angry with him? I can’t forgive him!”

　Jiang Huai heard this and said, “Grandma’s illness was already there. How could it be caused by Uncle Tang’s anger?”

　When Lu Chengchun heard him talk back, she gritted her teeth.

　But since Lu Wusui was still there, she couldn’t refute anything.

　But the person next to her said, “Uncle Tang, you’re calling him that in a rather affectionate way. Do you know what kind of person he is? Be careful not to get in touch with him too much, or you’ll pick up his bad habits!”

　”That’s right. Although the old lady’s illness is pre-existing, how could it possibly get worse without her being angry? Tang Pingjian must have run away out of guilt, right? If he dares to show up again…”

　”If he dares to show up again, I will deal with him myself,” Lu Wusui suddenly said, “Do you have any other questions?”

　The man shut up.

　Lu Wusui said: “If you have no problem, go to the old lady’s bedside and show your filial piety. Be careful that the old lady doesn’t see you when she opens her eyes, otherwise all the family property will be distributed to others.”

　The man’s face suddenly turned red and white.

　Lu Wusui saw clearly the ugly behavior of this group of people in front of the emergency room just now.

　When they saw that the old lady was seriously ill, all they thought about was how to divide the family property.

　It’s difficult for them.

　To Lu Wusui, the things that he didn’t even care about were being fought over by them, and they even threw away their humanity.

　*

　Mrs. Lu was seriously ill and had been in the ICU for 24 hours, but she was still unconscious.

　The doctor said that everything depends on God from now on.

　If Madam Lu can hold on, she will wake up in ten days or half a month. If she can’t hold on… it will only take a moment, and she won’t feel any pain.

　However, judging from the current situation, it should not be very optimistic.

　After all, she is already eighty years old, the cancer cells in her body are still spreading, she is old and sick, and her chances of survival are very slim.

　After hearing what the doctor said, Lu Wusui suddenly asked, “When did she get sick?”

　The doctor paused after hearing this and said, “It’s unclear when she got sick, but the diagnosis was confirmed… It was found out when she was seriously ill last time.”

　About one or two months.

　It was also during this one or two months that the old lady anxiously arranged for Jiang Huai to take a leave of absence from school and kept urging Lu Wusou to have a child.

　Lu Wusui was indeed puzzled.

　After all, Lu Rumei has always been able to keep her composure, and has always been caring towards the younger generation, and would never hit them.

　Is it because she knows that she doesn’t have much time left?

　Lu Wusui closed his eyes.

　After a few days, there was still no news from Tang Pingjian.

　He was the last person to come into contact with the old lady.

　According to the housekeeper of the old house, after the old lady called Tang Pingjian in, she did not let anyone else in.

　So what happened between them and whether there was any conflict remains a mystery.

　However, the housekeeper said: “I was standing guard at the door, and I seemed to have heard Mr. Tang and the old lady mention Miss Cheng Qiu.”

　Miss Cheng Qiu is Lu Wusui’s mother, and her full name is Lu Chengqiu.

　Lu Wusui concealed some of his emotions and said slowly: “I understand.”

　*

　Often, when the leader of a large group falls, it is bound to face a chaotic and leaderless situation.

　Miraculously, the Lu family didn’t.

　The Lu family is still running well.

　All of this was thanks to Lu Wusui.

　After that, another ten days or half a month passed, and the old lady seemed to be sleeping like this forever.

　She showed no sign of waking up, but she also showed no signs of dying.

　Gradually, everyone got used to it.

　The Lu family went through a transformation quietly and got back on track safely.

　Originally, not many people dared to mess with Lu Wusui.

　Now he is at the peak of his career, and his power and prestige have entered a period of prosperity.

　The relatives of the Lu family who were jumping around before all consciously turned off their microphones.

　*

　Jiang Huai recently solved a small problem.

　It can’t be considered a solution.

　It’s just that Lu Wusui has been too busy recently and doesn’t have time to argue with Jiang Huai at night.

　Often, he would finish his work for the day after Jiang Huai fell asleep, and then he would crawl into Jiang Huai’s bed and sleep with him.

　At this time, Jiang Huai was completely unaware.

　Since you don’t know, then there is no need to worry.

　However, as soon as the little trouble is gone, new trouble comes.

　Tao Chuannan contacted Jiang Huai again.

　He asked Jiang Huai: [How have you been recently? I heard about the Lu family. Do you need my help?]

　Jiang Huai almost forgot about this person’s existence. When the message popped up, he stared at the dialog box for a long while before he remembered who Tao Chuannan was.

　His husband from his previous life has been haunting him in this life.

　He hasn’t bothered him much recently, so he just treated him as if he had disappeared.

　Jiang Huai actually didn’t quite understand why he did that. After all, the two of them didn’t have much interaction in this life, and in the previous life, Tao Chuannan was obviously very cold.

　What he understood was that their acquaintance in the previous life was forced, while their meeting in this life was an accident, which resulted in Tao Chuannan’s first impression of him not being as bad as in the previous life.

　Jiang Huai replied: [Not bad.]

　Tao Chunan said: [That’s good.]

　Jiang Huai looked at the message, but didn’t see any special meaning. He thought there was no need to reply, so he ignored it.

　However, what he didn’t expect was.

　On the next day, he met Tao Chuannan again.

　He was accompanying Zhu Xiaoai to buy clothes, and it was a plan they came up with at the last minute, so it was completely accidental that they met.

　Tao Chuannan’s eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Huai.

　He waved at Jiang Huai.

　Jiang Huai originally wanted to pretend that he didn’t see him, so he covered his face and grabbed Zhu Xiaoai and left.

　When Tao Chuannan saw this, his body stiffened and he gave up struggling.

　*

　Half an hour later, Jiang Huai and Tao Chuannan sat at a table in a restaurant.

　Zhu Xiaoai was sent away by Tao Chuannan, leaving only the two of them.

　If Jiang Huai didn’t know Zhu Xiaoai well, he would have suspected that this was a plan between Zhu Xiaoai and Tao Chunan.

　But precisely because he understood him, he knew Zhu Xiaoai would not do that.

　Tao Chuannan ordered a few things for Jiang Huai, all of which were his favorites.

　Jiang Huai felt strange for a moment, but didn’t think much about it.

　He bit the straw in front of him and said incoherently, “What do you want from me?”

　A complex emotion appeared on Tao Chuannan’s face again.

　He said to Jiang Huai: “I heard about the Lu family…”

　Jiang Huai said: “You have already said that.”

　He felt that Tao Chuannan was wasting his time. He had clearly told him everything on WeChat, so why did he need to repeat it in person?

　”Okay, I know you don’t like to hear this,” Tao Chuannan sighed, “but what I want to tell you is that you need to pay attention to Lu Wusui. You originally got married for the benefit of your two families. Now that Madam Lu is ill, Lu Wusui’s power has further increased…”

　Looking at Jiang Huai’s nonchalant look, Tao Chuannan shut up.

　He paused for a moment and said directly: “Lu Wusui has already started to attack the Jiang family.”

　The expression on Jiang Huai’s face changed slightly.

　He looked at Tao Chuannan in surprise, as if he was very surprised.

　Tao Chuannan said: “Without the interests between you, your marriage is completely unreliable. If he can do something to your family today, he can do something to you tomorrow. Jiang Huai…”

　”But why are you telling me this?” Jiang Huai suddenly asked.

　It clearly has nothing to do with Tao Chuannan.

　If he said this, there would even be a risk of offending Lu Wusui.

　It’s a completely losing business.

　After hearing his question, Tao Chuannan smiled bitterly, “It’s strange to say, but when I first saw you, I felt that you looked very familiar, and even developed a sense of… closeness to you in my heart.”

　Jiang Huai blinked, then froze when he thought of a possibility.

　”However, I know that I didn’t have a sense of propriety towards you at the beginning, so I’m sorry,” Tao Chuannan said, “I will definitely not do that in the future. If you need anything, I can help you at any time.”

　He paused and finally told the topic of today.

　”Including leaving Lu Wusui’s side.”

　*

　At the same time, in the Lu family’s private hospital, Lu Wusui was talking to the doctor.

　”We are aware of your request,” the doctor said, “We will do our best to ensure Young Master Jiang’s safety…”

　”It’s not about trying your best,” Lu Wusou interrupted him, “it’s about having to.”

　The doctor paused.

　”If you are not 100% sure, I will not let Jiang Huai go on the operating table,” Lu Wusui said, “So before you are sure, don’t say these empty words to me.”

　Now the Lu family has become a one-man show for him, and everyone from top to bottom has to listen to him, and no one dares to raise any objections.

　Although the doctor wanted to study Jiang Huai, he did not dare to go beyond Lu Wusui’s orders and do the research on his own.

　He nodded and said, “I understand.”

　He added: “However, if the surgery is possible, it is impossible for Young Master Jiang to be unaware of the incisions on his body. If he finds out after the surgery, his intense emotions may lead to a poor prognosis.”

　”Got it,” Lu Wusui rubbed his fingertips, “I’ll tell him as soon as possible.”

　*

　The next day, Jiang Huai was taken to the hospital by Lu Wusui.

　He didn’t sleep well last night, and his mind was full of what Tao Chuannan had said to him.

　Normally when someone talks a lot to Jiang Huai, he needs a long time to digest it.

　Not to mention what Tao Chuannan said yesterday, it seemed that every sentence revealed something.

　He could only think about it over and over again with his own brain.

　But soon, he didn’t have the chance to think about it anymore.

　*

　Lu Wusui knew that Jiang Huai was afraid of hospitals, but he didn’t know why Jiang Huai was afraid of hospitals.

　This time, he heard some mumblings from Jiang Huai’s mouth.

　Jiang Huai asked him in a low voice: “Do I have an incurable disease? If so, don’t hide it from me.”

　Lu Wusui didn’t understand why he had this idea.

　However, just thinking about Jiang Huai getting sick, Lu Wusui’s heart sank, as if someone had pinched him.

　He frowned and said in a deep voice: “You won’t get an incurable disease.”

　Jiang Huai retorted: “How is that possible?”

　In his previous life, he died of an incurable disease. He had experienced this before.

　Lu Wusui pinched his chin, his face darkening, “It’s ok if you’re naughty normally, but if I hear you say something like this again, believe it or not, I’ll confiscate all your snacks.”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　He’s such an adult, yet you still use such childish means to deal with him.

　The problem is, he is already such an adult, and this childish method is so effective against him!

　Just then, a doctor came over.

　Jiang Huai was so frightened that his face turned pale. Like a stressed cat, he could only shrink in Lu Wusui’s arms, not even having the courage to look up at the world.

　Until the doctor walked past him.

　…I’m just passing by.

　Although it’s pitiful.

　But when Jiang Huai snuggled into his arms, this feeling of being depended on was actually quite good.

　Lu Wusui thought without any conscience.

　Jiang Huai said angrily, “Haven’t I already had a physical examination? Why do I still need to come here?”

　”You had dinner yesterday, so you won’t eat today?” Lu Wusui used the same sentence to stop him.

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　It’s so annoying that they always do this.

　At the same time, the words Tao Chuannan said suddenly flashed through Jiang Huai’s mind.

　——Lu Wusui has already started to take action against the Jiang family.

　Jiang Huai felt a little uneasy and loosened his grip on Lu Wusui’s clothes slightly.

　Lu Wusui didn’t notice it and was still concerned about the results of the examination.

　Jiang Huai’s health condition was complicated, and if Lu Wusui had not refused, the doctor would have even suggested that Jiang Huai stay in the hospital.

　But the doctor also knew that this suggestion was impossible for either Jiang Huai or Lu Wusui.

　*

　After returning home, Jiang Huai felt depressed.

　No matter how Lu Wusui teased him, he always looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

　Lu Wusui asked him: “What are you going to draw today?”

　Jiang Huai huddled in the bed pitifully, not saying a word.

　Lu Wusui asked again: “If you don’t paint, what do you eat?”

　Jiang Huai still didn’t say anything.

　Just when Lu Wusui sighed and felt that he couldn’t coax him today.

　Jiang Huai’s muffled voice came out from under the quilt, “I want to eat some snacks.”

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　Are you sure this isn’t revenge for what he said in the hospital?

　Jiang Huai usually eats snacks either under the covers or outside the covers.

　When it comes to meals, he always eats quietly. I don’t know why he has to eat snacks like this.

　In the evening, Jiang Huai finally recovered a little.

　As soon as he stuck his head out from under the quilt, he saw a pile of snacks next to the pillow!

　The sense of happiness rises instantly!

　He could even forgive Lu Wusui for being taken to the hospital!

　On that day, Jiang Huai enjoyed a rare snack.

　When Lu Wusui came back, all he saw were snack bags scattered all over the floor and Jiang Huai sleeping soundly.

　Lu Wusui: “…” I really don’t know whether his indulgence is right or wrong.

　Fortunately, he just threw away some garbage.

　The bed and his own hygiene were both clean.

　That night, Lu Wusui cleaned the room first before going to bed and sleeping with Jiang Huai in his arms.

　After he held Jiang Huai in his arms, he bit Jiang Huai’s face.

　Jiang Huai let out a soft groan in his sleep.

　Little fool.

　*

　Madam Lu’s hospitalization had a certain impact on Lu Wusui and Jiang Huai’s lives, but not too much.

　What Jiang Huai could feel was that Lu Wusui had obviously become busier, and his expression occasionally revealed a hint of fatigue.

　Before, the old lady seemed to have retired to her home and didn’t interfere much in the company’s affairs.

　But when she really couldn’t intervene anymore, she realized that she had helped Lu Wusui a lot before, both openly and secretly.

　After all, Lu Wusui was raised by her, and she felt guilty towards her youngest daughter.

　Although he was quite annoyed that Lu Wusui was competing with him for the bed, when Lu Wusui really stopped competing with him, he felt vaguely empty.

　This kind of emptiness cannot be filled by painting.

　Jiang Huai told Zhu Xiaoai about this matter, and Zhu Xiaoai gave him a good idea.

　——Watch TV series.

　”When I feel lonely, empty and cold, I love watching sweet TV dramas,” Zhu Xiaoai said sincerely, “Go watch them. I guarantee that after you finish watching them, all your worries will disappear.”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　Be skeptical.

　However, under Zhu Xiaoai’s strong recommendation, Jiang Huai was still sent to the TV series.

　*

　When Lu Wusui returned home, he saw Jiang Huai sitting in the living room watching TV series.

　It was a rare occasion that he finished work early and got some time to rest.

　In the end, it was fine that Jiang Huai didn’t come to greet him, and it was fine that he didn’t fulfill his obligations as a marriage partner.

　When Lu Wusui went over, he discovered that Jiang Huai was staring at the male actor on the screen without blinking.

　Without waiting for Lu Wusui to get jealous.

　On the screen, the male actor pushed the female actor against the wall and did a wall-dong on her.

　Accompanied by beautiful music, the two actors created an ambiguous and even drawing atmosphere.

　Jiang Huai frowned slightly.

　——He had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　Even though his facial features were wrinkled, he didn’t look ugly at all; he looked like a jade doll.
