Chapter 61. Liu Duanhe hung up the phone with a gloomy face...

Liu Duanhe hung up the phone with a gloomy face. Why do things in this world always go against our wishes?

He wanted to get back to Beijing as soon as possible, but his parents found the sanatorium during their phone call right after he booked his return flight.

He had to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Knowing his parents' personalities, the butler might stop him once, but not a second time.

Every day, the doctor would send him an initial report and an analysis report on his grandfather's condition. He knew in his heart that his grandfather wouldn't last much longer and couldn't withstand any more of their stress.

Now that his parents have come to see his grandfather, there are too many unexpected things that could happen. He doesn't dare to gamble on their conscience. Just like his grandfather suspected, he also guessed that his parents probably didn't have such a thing.

Secretary Wei watched as Liu Duanhe's mood plummeted after receiving a phone call, and he also became nervous.

Liu Duanhe said in a deep voice, "It's too late. Book the next available flight. No need to apply for a flight route. Let's leave now."

Secretary Wei hadn't expected the situation to be so urgent, so he immediately took out his phone from his pocket and booked a flight for Liu Duanhe.

Liu Duanhe used the phone in his room to ask the hotel to arrange a car to take him to the airport immediately.

After hanging up the phone, he sent Feng Xingyun a message: "Xiao He: I have an urgent matter and need to return to Beijing immediately."

Feng Xingyun had followed him to Taicheng, and Liu Duanhe certainly couldn't just abandon him without a word; his memory and character weren't that bad.

If possible, he would certainly like to take Feng Xingyun with him, but he wasn't sure if Feng Xingyun would be willing to endure the long journey with him.

Feng Xingyun was typing away at his computer in his hotel room. His father hadn't let him off the hook since school started; knowing he'd taken leave from school, he immediately dumped a pile of documents on him.

Upon receiving Liu Duanhe's message, Feng Xingyun's first thought was to leave with him, but the next second he suddenly thought, wouldn't that be a bit too clingy?

However, he's already been clingy enough to Taicheng, so one more time won't make a difference.

He immediately sent a message: [Feng Xingyun: Take me with you]

For some reason, Liu Duanhe felt relieved and said to Secretary Wei, "Book one more ticket."

He sent Feng Xingyun's information to Secretary Wei.

Upon seeing the name, Secretary Wei's eyes widened in surprise. When did Young Master Feng arrive in Taicheng? But since they were a couple, it was normal for them to be a little clingy. It was just strange that he hadn't come to Taicheng with the boss on a private jet.

Liu Duanhe then sent Feng Xingyun a message: [Xiao He: I've already booked your tickets, we're leaving now.]

When Feng Xingyun arrived, he was traveling light, carrying only a backpack, and he walked easily. After receiving Liu Duanhe's message, he didn't wait a moment and immediately opened the door and went out.

At the same time, Liu Duanhe also came out from next door. The hotel's butler checked them out, and the group immediately went downstairs to get in their car.

Secretary Wei did not blindly buy the earliest flight. The hotel was close to Taicheng Manufacturing Group, but not close to the airport. Even if the hotel driver took all the shortcuts and drove at the highest speed limit, it would still be difficult to make it in time.

When they arrived at the airport, boarding had just begun. Secretary Wei checked their luggage, and the whole process was almost seamless. Liu Duanhe boarded the plane back to Beijing.

Feng Xingyun astutely connected this to what Guan Du had said at noon. Although he hadn't paid much attention to these power struggles within wealthy families in the past, his keen insight was fully utilized when it came to matters related to Liu Duanhe.

He asked, "Have your parents made another move?"

Liu Duanhe didn't hide anything from him, his eyes filled with a dark and angry look, "Yes, they stormed into my grandfather's nursing home."

Feng Xingyun rarely saw Liu Duanhe so angry. Compared to this, his anger when Liu Duanhe deliberately provoked him in the dormitory seemed much milder. Liu Duanhe's anger now was restrained, which was even more terrifying to Liu Duanhe than undisguised anger.

Feng Xingyun stretched out his arm and put it around his shoulder reassuringly, "If there's anything you need my or my family's help with, just let me know."

"Don't worry about Grandpa, we'll be there soon."

Liu Duanhe was still worried, but he smiled and said, "Okay."

Feng Xingyun could sense that Liu Duanhe was not as relaxed as he appeared. He was always deep-seated and thoughtful, which made people feel sorry for him.

He couldn't do much, but as soon as he got off the plane, he sent a message to his parents, telling them that their daughter-in-law was having some trouble recently and asking them to pay more attention and help her out.

If anything happens to their daughter-in-law, he won't live either.

Although Feng Xingyun wanted to accompany Liu Duanhe to the sanatorium, he was worried that Liu Duanhe would be at a disadvantage in a conflict because of his parents' presence.

However, a message from his mother immediately reminded Feng Xingyun that Liu Duanhe might not want him to see what he was dealing with at the moment.

Upon exiting the airport, the VIP lane was where Secretary Wei had already arranged for a car.

Feng Xingyun put down his phone. "Go and take care of your business first. It's okay, don't worry about me."

His usually stern face was now filled with tenderness, like a melting iceberg, and his cold eyes held only him.

"Don't worry, if you need anything, just ask me. My parents are here too."

Feng Xingyun thanked his parents for their existence. Compared to Liu Rumeng and her husband, they seemed so pure and trustworthy elders, which finally became an advantage for him in pursuing Liu Duanhe!

What he actually wanted to say was, "From now on, my parents will be your parents too," but there were too many people around, and it wasn't the right time. He believed that one day, he would be able to say those words to Liu Duan and Ziran.

Liu Duanhe nodded, his fingertips trembling slightly, feeling a warm and itchy sensation in his heart. "Okay, I will."

After giving Feng Xingyun a deep look, Liu Duanhe and Secretary Wei hurriedly got into the car and left.

Feng Xingyun stood there watching the black Bentley drive away into the distance.

I received a message on my phone from Liu Duanhe: [Xiao He: I called a taxi for you. Here's the license plate. You go home first. I probably won't be going back to my place near the school tonight.]

Feng Xingyun put down his phone, a smile still on his lips. From last summer vacation to today, he had smiled more times than he had in the previous ten years.

To facilitate the patients' rest, the sanatorium is located far from the city center, and its territory covers an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. Therefore, it is actually very large. The noise could be heard in the residential area, indicating that his parents had already gone deep inside. There must be someone inside the sanatorium to open the door for them.

The sanatorium was just too big and had too many people. Even though they were all trusted confidants of Grandpa, it was inevitable that some of them had different intentions.

On his way to the sanatorium, Liu Duanhe received a call from the housekeeper, who told him that his grandfather had woken up.

Because the timing was perfect, he arrived at 3:30 pm.

The sanatorium's security personnel had received prior notification from the housekeeper and immediately allowed Liu Duanhe's car to pass when it arrived at the gate.

After entering the gate, I slowed down a bit and drove for another ten minutes before arriving at the residential area.

Because it was early spring, and the sanatorium was well-maintained, it was lush and green, with birds singing clearly and melodiously. Far from the city, the grass and trees were fragrant, and even the air was fresher.

Liu Duanhe immediately led Secretary Wei upstairs.

"bite!"

The elevator stopped, and Liu Duan strode out. The old butler was standing worriedly in the corridor, which was packed with people, making the wide corridor, which was more than ten meters long, seem narrow.

Liu Duanhe frowned and his face turned cold, a rare occurrence for him. "What are you all doing blocking this place?"

They looked at each other, then lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Most of them had either met Liu Duanhe or heard of him, and his harsh words today truly startled them. He was quite different from the rumors and his past behavior. The only thing that remained completely consistent was...

The suite door was open, and there were faint sounds of conversation coming from inside.

The old housekeeper came up to explain, "Both General Manager Liu and General Manager Wu have gone inside."

Liu Duanhe frowned and scanned the people in the corridor. "The sanatorium has hundreds of security guards, and so many of them couldn't stop a dozen or so people?"

Liu Rumeng and Wu Xiuyi came out of the room at this time. Although it was a suite, because several doors were open, the people inside heard Liu Duanhe's cryptic words.

Liu Duanhe would never have acted like this before, showing no respect for his parents whatsoever, which shows he was truly angry this time.

Liu Rumeng and Wu Xiuyi were impeccably dressed and looked as well-matched as ever. As if they had finished talking with Liu Yi, they walked out the door and stood in front of Liu Duanhe.

Everyone in the corridor held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of becoming the fuse for their outburst, and awaited their reaction.

It was Liu Rumeng who spoke first. Repeated failures had exhausted his composure. "Xiao He looks like he's in a hurry, and his dark circles are so heavy. He needs to get some rest."

Liu Duanhe smiled and said, "I'm too busy with work, unlike my father who has a leisurely life. As long as my father and mother can enjoy their retirement in the future, it's all worth it, no matter how tired I am."

Now he was calm and composed again. In comparison, Liu Rumeng's sarcasm and veiled insults were clearly excessive and fell into a lower category.

Moreover, Liu Duanhe's unparalleled handsome appearance and gentle, polite tone made him seem like a petty person.

Liu Rumeng's face darkened. Wu Xiuyi tugged at the corner of her mouth and subtly pulled his arm, "Xiao He, your parents have something to do, so we won't talk to you anymore."

To prevent Liu Rumeng, who has become increasingly impatient recently, from breaking her guard and saying something that would damage their relationship, even though today's forced entry into the sanatorium has almost completely escalated their family's dispute, the sanatorium is still theirs, and the news won't easily leak out.

After watching them walk away, Liu Duanhe walked towards the ward. Although it was called a ward, it was actually larger than the presidential suite of the hotel where he stayed in Taicheng. However, the various medical equipment in the ward made his heart clench when he was close to it.

His cold is better, and he dares to come in and visit his grandfather now.

Liu Yi had also heard what Liu Duanhe said outside the door. He sat on the edge of the bed and waved to him, "Xiao He, don't blame them. I asked them to let your parents in."
