"Great! Great!" Yan Mingzhong's tone was also excited. The servants quickly helped him into the room and to Yan Shengxiao's bedside.

After all, he was his own grandson, and an outstanding successor in every way. Yan Mingzhong couldn't remain completely indifferent, so he called out to Yan Shengxiao, "Shengxiao, can you hear your grandfather?"

Yan Shengxiao's fingers moved rapidly in response to Yan Mingzhong's words.

Yan Mingzhong also clearly saw this scene and immediately said, "Get the car ready and take him to the hospital for further examination!"

"Yes!" A servant immediately ran downstairs to inform them to prepare the car.

Several caregivers and Gu Qingqiu helped carry Yan Shengxiao downstairs and put him in the back seat of the car.

Gu Qingqiu got into the car with him. Yan Shengxiao lost his balance and leaned on Gu Qingqiu. Gu Qingqiu thoughtfully fastened Yan Shengxiao's seatbelt, then put one arm around Yan Shengxiao's shoulder and let his head rest on her shoulder, making Yan Shengxiao feel a little bit like a little bird clinging to her.

However, because the driver was worried about Yan Shengxiao's health, he drove very slowly and steadily, and nothing happened along the way.

Upon arriving at the hospital, a doctor immediately came to meet Yan Shengxiao and took him away for a thorough full-body examination.

Yan Mingzhong did not come along, but told Gu Qingqiu to inform him of any new developments.

Several doctors were running around busily, and Gu Qingqiu couldn't help much. She could only stand aside and try not to obstruct their passage.

Half an hour later, Yan Yanan appeared in the corridor and called out to Gu Qingqiu, who was still somewhat dazed.

Gu Qingqiu glanced at Yan Yanan with some confusion, seemingly wondering why he was here.

Yan Yanan explained, "I heard that my brother's health has improved, so I came to see what's going on."

"Oh?" Gu Qingqiu said sarcastically, "You really care about your elder brother's health? Why don't you come home to see him usually? What kind of brotherly affection are you putting on for me now? There's no need for that. I'm all alone here."

Yan Yanan shook her head. "Qingqiu, you know that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Gu Qingqiu raised her eyes. "Did you want to come see your older brother yourself, or did your father send you to find out what was going on? How did you know your older brother was in the hospital? Who told you? Grandpa wouldn't be so idle as to call you specifically to inform you, would he?"

Yan Yanan was speechless after being choked by Gu Qingqiu. He couldn't very well tell Gu Qingqiu that it was his father who had planted a spy in the Yan family's old house to tip him off, could he?

So Yan Yanan could only awkwardly explain, "I just wanted to check on my brother's health. You didn't go to the company, so you don't know what's been going on there these past few days. There are even rumors that the company's operations have hit a bottleneck and they're going to lay off employees. It's making everyone anxious. It's really not good if no one steps in to control the situation."

Gu Qingqiu chuckled and said, "So you're planning to step in and take charge?"

Yan Yanan was somewhat embarrassed, but still forced a smile and replied, "I am, after all, a member of the Yan family. I would not do anything to betray the interests of the Yan family, but those old guys are a different story. They only care about interests and have no feelings."

Gu Qingqiu thought to herself, "It's ridiculous that an illegitimate child like you is discussing issues of interests and feelings. Who knows how much affection you have for the Yan family?"

Just then, a noisy commotion arose at the end of the corridor.

Gu Qingqiu glanced over and saw several elderly men in suits and ties and a few nurses pushing and shoving each other.

"What's going on?" Gu Qingqiu was surprised that someone would be so rude as to make a scene in the hospital.

"Why are they here?" Yan Yanan also seemed somewhat shocked.

Gu Qingqiu and Yan Yanan exchanged a glance and immediately guessed the identity of the person who had come with ill intentions; it must be those restless old guys from the board of directors.

I didn't expect them to be so restless this time. They couldn't even wait for the board meeting and actually came to the hospital to check on the situation themselves. I don't know where the news leaked from. It seems that the Yan family is now riddled with problems, both internally and externally.

Several young nurses were no match for these unreasonable old men. A few of the girls, their eyes red with anger, pleaded, "No noise allowed in the hospital! No blocking medical passageways! No disturbing other patients' rest!"

Several people had already barged past the nurses' attempts to stop them, and their eyes lit up when they saw Yan Yanan and Gu Qingqiu. "So you really are here. What illness does President Yan have that you can't let us know? We came to visit because we're concerned about President Yan's health. Now that we're here, you won't refuse to let us see you, will you?"

Before Gu Qingqiu could say anything, Yan Yanan spoke up first: "I know you are all concerned about Big Brother's health, but given his current condition, it is indeed difficult for him to be seen in public. Please leave. You can discuss any work-related issues at the company, and if you need Big Brother's help, just ask me."

A seemingly considerate and generous remark actually hinted that Yan Shengxiao's physical condition was indeed as rumored, making it difficult for him to maintain a conscious state.

The old men's eyes lit up when they got the information they wanted, but they still wouldn't let it go. "You, an illegitimate child, dare to make decisions in the Yan family? How long have you worked at the company? How much do you know about company affairs? How dare you be so arrogant! If you're not capable, you should step down and make way for someone more capable!"

Yan Yanan was clearly furious. "Illegitimate child? I've already been recognized as a member of the Yan family! Ask my grandfather if he acknowledges me as his grandson! You're the outsiders, what right do you have to interfere in the Yan family's affairs?"

"Family affairs? When your Yan Group was attracting investment and needed us old guys to help, you never said it was your family affairs! Don't you see the contributions we've made to the Yan Group? On the contrary, you, with the title of a young master, have no worries about food and drink, live a luxurious life, and enjoy the empire we built, and now you still have the nerve to be so self-righteous!"

For a time, the entire corridor was noisy and the doctors and nurses couldn't stop the people. There were even a lot of busybodies watching and recording, making the scene quite chaotic.

"Enough!" Gu Qingqiu finally shouted, unable to bear it any longer.

The noisy crowd quieted down for a few seconds, and soon someone turned their attention to Gu Qingqiu. "If I'm not mistaken, this must be Miss Gu. She is indeed as beautiful as a goddess, but it's a pity that she has such a vicious mind despite her beautiful appearance."

Immediately, someone else chimed in, "Miss Gu, please stop taking sides here. Your self-righteous act of standing on moral high ground is utterly ridiculous. Everyone knows what role your Gu family has played here."

"Exactly! President Yan is a man who works diligently every day! I've never heard of him getting close to any woman, and yet, just around the time of this incident, he suddenly has such a beautiful wife. What a coincidence! It's truly enviable!"

"Miss Gu, Mr. Yan is so ill now, I'm afraid he can't have sex, right? He's left you alone in this empty room for so long, don't you resent him at all? Or is it that you're into that kind of thing?"

"How about I give Miss Gu a few toys to play with? I can't bear to see such a beautiful woman looking so lonely!"

"Hahahaha!" The group of people who had made the offensive remarks burst into laughter.

Gu Qingqiu was so angry that she trembled all over.
