Chapter 698 - 685
Chapter 698 - 685
How did he know? Helian Shuang was always so cautious... hadn’t she always avoided letting Helian Si get any information about Jinxuan?
However, she didn’t realize that these words had completely shattered Helian Si’s hopes!
Helian Si closed his eyes in disappointment, his face showing a tinge of paleness. For a moment, he seemed utterly exhausted. After a long pause, he finally sighed and said, "So, it’s like this."
"Ah Si!" Yu Sangwan became anxious, "No, let me explain."
"No need." Helian Si chuckled lightly, "You’ve already submitted your resignation letter, and at the press conference, I waited for you for hours... what more is there to explain?"
"I..."
After a brief pause, Helian Si continued, "Yu Sangwan, you may not like me... but you can’t toy with me!"
After saying this, he decisively ended the call!
"Ah Si, Ah Si!"
Yu Sangwan shouted into the phone, but unfortunately... Helian Si on the other end could no longer hear her calls.
What should I do? Ah Si is angry! Jinxuan is angry!
Yu Sangwan stood up and walked towards the entrance of Guan Chao Village. Her resignation should not have been approved yet, so her fingerprint should still work! Since he had finished his meeting, she could go find him! She needed to clear things up!
She turned around, moving her injured foot.
The phone vibrated in her hand, and when Yu Sangwan picked it up, she saw it was Le Zhengpeng calling.
"Hello, Uncle Le Zheng."
Le Zhengpeng’s anxious voice came from the other end, "Wanwan, where are you? Have you finished your matters? If you’re done, could you please come and see Ah Sheng, okay?"
Yu Sangwan’s heart skipped a beat, "Uncle Le Zheng, don’t worry, what happened?"
"Ah Sheng... has been admitted to the intensive care unit!"
Just these few words were enough for Yu Sangwan to drop everything!
She was about to run, but then she paused and looked back... inside Guan Chao Village, Jinxuan was there!
But now she had to rush to the hospital! To her, Le Zhengsheng was her best friend. Even though there was no romantic relationship, he had extended his hand to her in her most difficult times. At this moment, she couldn’t just think of herself.
With this in mind, she steeled her heart and decided to walk to the roadside to call a cab.
A black Bentley stopped in front of her, and Yu Sangwan glanced at it before hurriedly running over.
She quickly opened the car door and got in, "Dad, you’re done, great... let’s go to the hospital together!"
The person in the car was Fu Xianlin. Seeing Yu Sangwan, Fu Xianlin exclaimed, "Taotao, why are you here?"
"Dad, drive first... I’ll explain on the way, Ah Sheng’s situation isn’t good!"
"Alright."
Fu Xianlin instructed the driver to start the car, focusing intently on his daughter, his brows deeply furrowed, never relaxing... Arriving at the hospital, Le Zhengpeng was alone at the entrance of the intensive care unit, his figure looking very old.
Yu Sangwan, feeling compassion, went up to help him, "Uncle Le Zheng."
"Oh..." Le Zhengpeng seemed to come back to his senses, looking at Yu Sangwan, his eyes slightly clouded, "You’re here?"
"Yes." Yu Sangwan looked inside, her brows furrowed, "How is Ah Sheng?"
"Oh..." Le Zhengpeng shook his head, his mouth pulling in a bitter smile, "Wanwan, can I have a word with you?"
Yu Sangwan looked at her father, "Uncle, can’t you say it here?"
Le Zhengpeng pointed to the window, "Let’s talk over there."
Fu Xianlin nodded to her, "Go ahead!"
...
"Uncle Le Zheng, what do you want to say?" Although Yu Sangwan asked this, she had a faint premonition in her heart.
Le Zhengpeng paused, then sighed, "Wanwan, do you know Ah Sheng is the youngest?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, then nodded, "I know, Ah Sheng told me... he is the ninth, so his subordinates often call him Ninth Master."
"Yes..."
Le Zhengpeng nodded, "I’m not a great person, but there’s one thing... I’m absolutely devoted to Ah Sheng. Did Ah Sheng tell you? He and his brothers are all born to the same mother. In my life, I have not been unfaithful."
"..."
Yu Sangwan was indeed surprised. She had thought that in a family like the Lezhengs, with so many children... Le Zhengpeng probably had many wives, but she hadn’t expected such devotion.
"Hehe." Le Zhengpeng gave a dry laugh, "It’s different from what you thought, right?"
Yu Sangwan didn’t speak, she didn’t quite understand what Le Zhengpeng meant by telling her this.
"Oh..." Le Zhengpeng sighed and asked, "Do you know what happened to Ah Sheng’s brothers?"
"..." Yu Sangwan hesitated, "I heard it was due to illness."
Le Zhengpeng nodded, his expression sorrowful, with an unspeakable grief.
Yu Sangwan acted on a hunch and suddenly glanced towards the intensive care unit, exclaiming in surprise, "Could it be... Ah Sheng?"
"Yes." Le Zhengpeng nodded, his old eyes glistening with tears, "Ah Sheng... can’t escape this fate either!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Sangwan’s eyes also welled up. Even though Le Zhengsheng’s brothers were no longer alive... this lone survivor of the Lezheng family was especially precious!
"Uncle Le Zheng." Yu Sangwan frowned, unable to bear it, she asked, "Ah Sheng... what exactly is the problem with them?"
Le Zhengpeng seemed to be lost in past memories, "Hematopoietic system diseases..."
"..." Yu Sangwan was astonished, unable to speak for a long time. Even though she was not medically trained, upon hearing this term, she knew that things were not good!
"Do you know why Ah Sheng is named this?"
Le Zhengpeng’s eyes were clouded, "It’s because... when he was born, he carried the hope of his mother and me. We really didn’t want to lose this child, maybe because I did too many immoral things in my earlier years, in the end, even God didn’t spare my youngest son!"
"..." Yu Sangwan’s eyes welled up, covering her mouth, tears fell nonetheless. No wonder Le Zhengsheng couldn’t bleed, once he did, it would be very difficult to stop the bleeding!
"Since childhood!" Le Zhengpeng choked, "Ah Sheng grew up in the hospital. In recent years, it was controlled. I thought he was better, until today... he got injured, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop, Ah Sheng, my child!"
By the end, Le Zhengpeng couldn’t control his emotions and cried into his hands.
An elderly father, crying for his severely ill son... Yu Sangwan watched, her heart shattering, "Uncle Le Zheng, don’t be like this... Ah Sheng will be alright."
"Wanwan!" Le Zhengpeng shook his head, imploring, "My son is silly... he knows about his illness, and he cares about you, but if something really happens this time, he definitely won’t pursue you anymore! Do you know what he told me today? He said he wants to come home!"
Yu Sangwan was stunned. For five years, Le Zhengsheng had been with Fu Xianlin, for what... everyone knew full well.
But today, he wanted to return home? Was he giving up?
Yu Sangwan’s original intent was naturally to want Le Zhengsheng to give up. But she regarded him as a friend and family, and if he was giving up... she hoped he was giving up because he had made peace with it, not despairingly as Le Zhengpeng currently described, in a sense of hopeless abandonment!
