When Mr. Li visited Jing City, he returned with a young girl by his side.
<...Chapter 142 The Death of Grandpa Li Yansheng
When Li Guangsong saw his son was about to bring a stranger in, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his voice and said, "Don't bring anyone in."
Li Yansheng glanced at him and said, "If you want the old man to die with regrets, then stop him."
There was no emotion in the unhurried tone. Li Guangsong didn't dare to say anything after hearing it.
He knew that the old man had taken a liking to his grandson, Li Yansheng, and that his grandson's life events had always been his biggest concern. As a son, even if he looked down on Lin Shutang, under the current circumstances, he couldn't bring himself to refuse her entry.
In the end, Li Guangsong just turned his head to the side and pretended to ignore it.
Inside the ward, Lin Shutang was surprised at first sight when she saw the old man lying on the bed. She knew his condition was dire, so she was prepared, but she hadn't expected him to be so thin. His cheeks were sunken, and his hands, drenched in water, looked like only a thin layer of flesh remained. He was so thin that he seemed to be glued to the bed.
As if in a moment of last breath, he opened his eyes when his grandson approached, his eyes clear. He looked at Lin Shutang, who was being held by Li Yansheng, with a kind smile on his face.
"You must be Xiaotang! You look very young! We, Yansheng, are taking advantage of you." His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke clearly, without any ambiguity.
They were so close on their first meeting, and under such circumstances, Lin Shutang didn't know how to react for a moment. She tilted her head and looked at Li Yansheng with some uneasiness.
Li Yan patted her back soothingly, took her hand and walked closer to the old man's bed. Lin Shutang called out sweetly, "Grandpa."
The old man smiled with satisfaction, then took Lin Shutang's hand and put a jade ring on her thumb.
The ring was taken off the old man's hand. Lin Shutang didn't know much about jade, but since the old man wore it so close to his body, she could guess it was worth a lot of money. She didn't know whether to accept it or not. She looked up at Li Yansheng again, and when he nodded, she felt relieved and accepted it without refusing.
Seeing this, the old man's smile widened. He looked at his grandson and said, "Yansheng, come forward."
Hearing this, Lin Shutang took a few steps back, turned around and left, leaving the space for the grandfather and grandson.
As soon as he opened the door and walked out, Lin Shutang noticed that everyone around him was looking at him.
Especially Li Guangsong, when he saw the ring on Lin Shutang's hand, his face became terribly gloomy, but he did not get angry on the spot.
I don’t know what Mr. Li said to Li Yansheng. About fifteen minutes later, Li Yansheng opened the door and asked the direct relatives of the Li family to come in.
Lin Shutang had originally retreated behind the crowd and had no intention of going in. Li Yansheng saw her, walked through the crowd at the door, and took her in.
After entering the inner room, Lin Shutang stood obediently beside Li Yansheng without saying a word.
This time, the old man was no longer as energetic as before. It seemed that in just a dozen minutes, all the energy in his body had been drained away. His eyes were not as bright as before. His eyelids were only half-lidded, looking in a certain direction.
Seeing this, several female relatives turned their heads to the side and quietly wiped away their tears.
Li Guangsong saw his father mumbling something and leaned closer: "Dad, don't worry! We will take good care of the company."
The old man didn't seem to mean that, and the corners of his lips continued to twitch.
Several family members took turns speaking, but no one seemed to hit the nail on the head. It wasn't until Lin Shutang noticed the man holding him had lowered his arm that he saw Li Yansheng approach and whisper something into the old man's ear. Finally, the old man smiled with satisfaction, then passed out.
