Chapter 311 The old patriarch is going to convene an elders' meeting.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

Gu Youran and Li Huaijin had been waiting outside for three hours before the doctor finally came out.

The doctor took off his mask and said earnestly, "The patient was already at his last gasp this morning, and then he attempted suicide... Although he was saved, he doesn't have much time left. You, as his family, should stay with him and make the most of his life."

Gu Youran suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon; if Li Huaijin hadn't supported her, she probably would have fallen to the ground.

how so.

Just a few hours ago, she was arguing with herself about wanting the company she had. Why has it turned out like this now?

"Doctor, I've never heard of her being sick, how could this be...?"

The doctor retorted with dissatisfaction: "So you mean I'm lying? The patient has been sick for at least four or five years, and you, as his child, didn't even know? You're truly unfilial."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaijin frowned and angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting? Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Gu Youran stared at the operating room in disbelief. She had been sick for so long?

But she never said that...

“Silly girl, this has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself, okay? It really has nothing to do with you.” Li Huaijin comforted her gently, “Those two scumbags didn’t take care of your mother. It’s normal that you, as their daughter who was kicked out, don’t know.”

"Can..."

Gu Youran was actually very conflicted. Reason told her that they had no relationship anymore, and her affairs were none of her business.

She still vividly remembered the scene when she drove those two beasts away.

She harbored resentment, deep resentment.

But now, hearing the doctor say that she doesn't have much time left, she felt as if the sky had fallen, and all those grudges and hatreds vanished.

“There are no ‘buts’. Even if we take a step back, your mother still has her husband and son. Men should shoulder the responsibility of the family and not leave all the blame on your shoulders.”

The Li family cannot take their family's values ​​as a reference.

Look at the Lu family. The men do all the work at home, while Grandma Lu and Auntie can just stay home and enjoy their lives.

Even if there are things that girls need to take on, men will silently protect them from behind.

Even the Gu family is the same.

But Gu Youran's family is truly a scoundrel.

Those two grown men have absolutely no sense of responsibility; it's utterly disgusting.

"Gu Youran, don't get involved."

People like Li Huaijin always start by judging others with malice.

Therefore, he felt that Gu Youran's mother's decision to commit suicide at this time was all too obvious.

But now, Gu Youran's reason has been completely overwhelmed by the fact that she is about to die.

He couldn't bring himself to wake the person up.

“Li Huaijin, I know I hate her, but why do I feel so bad when I hear she’s dying?” She shook her head in panic, unwilling to accept the fact: “I… do you think she was faking it? Yes, she must have been faking it. She conspired with the doctor to lie to me, just to make me feel sorry for her, and then hand the company over to Gu Bin, right?”

That must be it.

She went the fart the most.

This is definitely something she's capable of doing.

Looking at the emotional Gu Youran, Li Huaijin felt a pang of sadness. No one could accept being deceived by their family like this.

He held her tenderly in his arms, his eyes revealing no emotion: "Ranran, leave this to me, I'll handle it for you, okay?"

“I’ll have someone do a second check-up for her, and then I’ll bring Gu Jianguo and Gu Bin over to take care of her. They are the beneficiaries, so there’s no reason for you to make any sacrifices.”

These people really wear their intentions on their sleeves; their hearts and eyes are full of scheming.

That's absolutely disgusting.

Gu Youran looked up abruptly, as if she had grasped at the last straw. It seemed that only Li Huaijin could bring her back to life and give her any hope for anything else.

She's now wondering if this is a scam and how to deal with it.

**

In Country M, after so many days, the Chris family has completely fallen into chaos. No one cares about the old patriarch's life or death anymore, and no one is talking about letting Chris go back to take charge.

Because they all wanted to take the lead themselves, find the patriarch's badge, and then they could become the true heads of the Chris family.

Chris remained unconcerned, which even made Bai Yuxin a little anxious.

She looked at Chris very seriously: "Aren't you really going back to check on him? It's been so long, if the old man doesn't wake up soon, he really won't wake up."

Bai Yuxin thought to herself, although the old man had done many outrageous things, at least for them, the old man was not yet in a position to die.

Chris felt uncomfortable and uneasy whenever he heard the words "old man," especially when they specifically referred to him.

“He’ll be fine. I think it’s good for him to just lie there quietly.”

And she won't cause trouble; she's practically an angel.

If we let him wake up now, he'll probably cause trouble again.

Bai Yuxin couldn't help but frown: "That won't do either. The medicine Dad gave us is almost due. If he doesn't take the antidote soon, he'll really die. Then, my brother and you will become murderers. No, no."

"Does anyone know?" Chris shrugged, his face expressionless.

He and Lu Jingxiao did it very discreetly, and no one could find out. He didn't believe that anyone could actually see through it.

“Chris, even if it means destroying the internal structure of the Chris family and causing the unity of the elders to crumble, it’s fine as it is now. There’s really no need to kill the old man.”

Upon hearing this, Chris could only stand up helplessly, pitifully pleading, "If he wakes up, we won't be able to enjoy these peaceful days anymore, you..."

"Getting the important business done is the priority. I want to go back as soon as possible. My child is getting older and needs to be registered. I don't want this child to be born in the US."

It's dangerous here. What if the old chieftain gets desperate and attacks her children?

She'll have nowhere to cry then.

"Most importantly, it's Luo Jie's birthday in a month. It's the first birthday my brother and Luo Jie reconciled, and also the first birthday Luo Jie returned to the family. I want Luo Jie's birthday to be a lively and joyous occasion. It's too unfair to Luo Jie to be here."

Chris looked at his gentle, generous, and considerate girlfriend and felt a soft spot in his heart crumbling.

He thought he had really messed up in his life, messed up by Bai Yuxin, but he hadn't lost out.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it quickly."

The clan elders have calmed down enough; it's time for the old man to take charge.

It remains to be seen who can clean up this mess.

——

At Chris Manor, Chris put the antidote into the old patriarch's mouth, and the old patriarch woke up shortly afterward.

The moment he saw Chris, his eyes were filled with anger.

"Chris, how dare you show your face here? Look what you've done to this house!"

"Looks like you're alright. You know how to swear as soon as you wake up, that's good. Well then, I won't get involved. You can swear at whoever you want next, I won't keep you company."

"you...."

The old clan chief felt his blood rushing to his head, and he became dizzy. He shouted sternly, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Chris left without looking back, without the slightest hesitation.

The old clan chief became even angrier.

That beast!

He summoned Paul's steward and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and inform the elders that I am going to convene an elders' meeting."

"Chieftain..."
