Chapter 212 Lin Shutang's Grandfather

"Huh?" Lin Shutang didn't understand why they let her go, so he asked, "Why?"

Hadn't he told her to try to manage Xicheng before? She had just started when Li Yansheng asked her to go to Gangcheng.

Li Yansheng looked into her eyes and was silent for a long time.

He rarely did this. At least, in Lin Shutang's memory, this was the first time since they had been together.

Li Yansheng was indeed conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped that Lin Shutang would learn more and see a different world. On the other hand, he felt distressed when he saw how tired she was.

Lin Shutang asked again: "Why?"

Li Yansheng: "I feel heartbroken."

Lin Shutang hadn't expected such an answer. The moment she heard it, her heart skipped a beat. After a long while, she finally calmed down and said, "I want to continue. I'm just getting started. Can I wait a little longer?"

In the end, Li Yansheng compromised: "Okay."

Never mind, after all, it’s in my own business, so any problems can be easily solved.

However, Lin Shutang didn't stay in Beijing for long. Not long after, Li Yansheng called and said that her grandfather had been found. He said, "The old man's health is not very good and he is not suitable for flying, so he was arranged to stay in the hospital in Gangcheng."

In an instant, Lin Shutang's tears fell and dripped onto the back of his left hand.

For years, she'd believed she had no family left, even after recently learning from the Feng family that her grandfather was still alive. She'd been hopeful, but in reality, she'd also been terrified. She'd been worried that the Feng family was just trying to trick her into doing things for them, that her efforts would be in vain. Therefore, before today, her belief in this matter had been only about 80 percent, not 100 percent.

She understood that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and she was worried that she would not be able to bear such a result.

Li Yansheng heard the little girl's soft sobs through the phone. He didn't say anything to comfort her, just listened quietly.

After a few minutes, Lin Shutang was tired of crying. After adjusting his mood, he said, "I want to come see him."

Li Yansheng said nothing and replied, "Okay, I'll have someone arrange it."

That afternoon, a car pulled up at the entrance to Luyuan. The driver was Tang Li, whom I hadn't seen in a while. She said, "Boss Li asked me to take you to the airport."

The plane takes off at around 4:00 p.m., and it's just past 1:00 p.m. now, so it's still in time to pack.

But Lin Shutang really didn't have the heart to do such a thing again, so he just took some documents and a few simple clothes and got in the car to the airport.

There were still nearly three hours left before arriving at the airport, so Tang Li changed her flight time half an hour earlier.

When Lin Shutang arrived in Hong Kong City, it was around eight o'clock in the evening, and Li Yansheng came to the airport to pick her up in person.

Knowing that she was concerned about the old man, even though it was already dark, Li Yansheng drove directly to the hospital where the old man was.

Throughout the entire car journey, Lin Shutang's hands were always clasped together. After getting off the car, their pace became faster and faster.

But when she finally reached the door of the ward, her movements slowed down again.

She placed her hand on the doorknob, hesitant to open it. She turned back to look at Li Yansheng, meeting his encouraging and soothing gaze. She took a deep breath, exerted a little force with her hand, and opened the door.

In the ward, the old man heard the noise and looked over. There was no expression on his face and his eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't understand why they came.
