Chapter 280 Grandpa Xu is seriously ill

Xu Zhengnan and I were the only ones left in the living room.

I took his hand and pulled him to sit down again. I could see that he was really angry today.

"Xu Zhengnan, don't make things too awkward between you and your family because of me. I can understand that Grandpa Xu doesn't agree with us being together. Let's take things slow. One day we will prove to them that we are serious about each other." I explained patiently.

I was afraid that Xu Zhengnan would completely fall out with Grandpa Xu because of what happened today. This was not what I wanted to see, nor was it what Aunt Yang wanted to see.

"Yes, I know." Xu Zhengnan looked at me with a very complicated expression, as if he agreed reluctantly in order not to make me worry.

I hesitated and didn't know how to continue.

Just when we were both silent, a call came to Xu Zhengnan's cell phone. He took a look and hung up.

Two minutes later, Aunt Yang hurried out of the kitchen, her face full of anxiety and nervousness, "Zhengnan, it's not good, your uncle just called me and said that your grandfather was admitted to the hospital!"

My heart skipped a beat. When Xu Zhengnan and I left the Xu family's old house, Grandpa Xu's condition was indeed a little strange. However, Xu Zhengnan was very angry at that time and did not stay to check on the situation.

If you go to the hospital, it means the situation is quite serious. Otherwise, if you have a family doctor at home, there is no need to go to the hospital.

Xu Zhengnan frowned slightly and had no intention of getting up to go to the hospital to visit his grandfather.

Aunt Yang came over and nudged him, "Go see your grandfather. He's old and it's normal for him to have feudal ideas. Don't always be so harsh with him."

"Mom, if you want to visit him, you can go, but I don't want to go." Xu Zhengnan refused coldly.

Aunt Yang was stunned. She probably didn't expect that even though Grandpa Xu was in the hospital, Xu Zhengnan's attitude was still so tough, and he didn't seem to be worried or regretful at all.

She opened her lips, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

I wanted to help her persuade Xu Zhengnan, but she saw what I wanted to say and shook her head gently at me to stop me.

Afterwards, Aunt Yang packed up and prepared to go to the hospital to see Grandpa Xu.

Before leaving, she reminded me that the Tremella fuciformis porridge was still stewing and would automatically shut down in a while, so I should remember to drink it.

After Aunt Yang left home, I went to the kitchen and kept an eye on the Tremella fuciformis porridge without telling Xu Zhengnan about going to see Grandpa Xu.

In the evening, Aunt Yang called me and said, "Xiaoyue, Zhengnan's grandfather is in stable condition now. Please tell Zhengnan."

"Okay, Aunt Yang," I replied.

Xu Zhengnan and I had already gone home. He was busy in the study as usual. After receiving a call from Aunt Yang, I went to the study to tell him about it. In return, he replied nonchalantly, "Okay, I got it."

I closed the door and sighed.

——

Three days later, Aunt Yang told me that Grandpa Xu's condition was stable and he had been discharged from the hospital.

Xu Zhengnan had no reaction to this. He had recently invested in a project with Xia Yu and was very busy. He had promised me before that he would stop after finishing his work and stay with me until the baby was born.

But right now, this project seems to be taking a long time.

I have no objection. It is normal for men to focus on their careers. Besides, I am recuperating at home every day and there is nothing I need him to take care of.

"Aunt Yang, let me go see Grandpa Xu." I took the initiative to say to Aunt Yang.

"Do you want to go see him? Aren't you afraid that he will say something unpleasant again..." Aunt Yang hesitated, "You'd better not go. The baby in your belly is the most important thing now. I went to the hospital to see him, but he didn't want to pay attention to me at all."

Aunt Yang has not been recognized by the Xu family until now, and she must be feeling very uncomfortable.

If it weren't for her husband's last wish, she might not have wanted Xu Zhengnan to go back.

I touched my belly and there was no sign of a flat stomach. It didn't affect my movements or my mood. Even if Grandpa Xu treated me badly, I could accept it.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt Yang, can we go together? I won't be afraid if you accompany me."

Aunt Yang took a deep breath and smiled sheepishly, "Xiaoyue, you are much braver than me. Back then, I just wanted to hide from the old man like a turtle."

It’s not that I’m particularly brave, but I have to do it for Xu Zhengnan.

I tried hard to get closer to the Xu family and let them accept me slowly.

Xu Zhengnan has already gone out today, so I made an appointment to meet Aunt Yang and then go to the Xu family's old house together.

On the way, Aunt Yang told me a piece of news that shocked me, "Xiaoyue, Zhengnan's grandfather has mid-to-late stage lung cancer, and it has partially spread. Zhengnan doesn't know about this."

I looked at Aunt Yang in shock, "How could it be..."

"He wants Zhengnan to go back and take over the company, but Zhengnan doesn't want to go back given the current situation." Aunt Yang was worried. "I know he is actually fighting for me. The Xu family kicked me and his father out, ignored us all these years, and never acknowledged my identity. He remembers all of this."

"If I persuade him to return to the Xu family now, it would be like forgetting the pain after the wound has healed. I feel sorry for myself back then."

"But I have already made Zhengnan's father leave home for so many years. He never reconciled with his family until his death. I can't let Zhengnan follow in his footsteps. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to his father when I go to the underworld."

Aunt Yang started crying as she spoke.

I hurried to comfort her, and it took a long time for her emotions to gradually calm down.

She wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

At this time, our car arrived outside the Xu family's old house. I followed Aunt Yang, carrying the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and ginseng stewed meat that I had cooked myself.

I learned how to make these two dishes by watching videos online. My cooking skills are average, and I can mainly make home-cooked meals. I have to learn how to make these nutritious foods.

The thought is what matters most.

As a result, we were turned away.

Someone came to tell us, "Sorry, Mr. Xu is not feeling well today and will not see outsiders."

The phrase "no outsiders allowed" defined Aunt Yang and me as irrelevant people in the Xu family.

Aunt Yang's face changed, and she forced a smile, "Okay, then we'll go first."

"Wait a moment." I stopped the person who came to inform us and handed him the insulated box in my hand. "Please give this insulated box to Grandpa Xu for me. It contains some food I made. It's very nutritious."

The man looked at me, then at the incubator, hesitating.

At this time, a man appeared behind us, "What are you doing here?"

When Aunt Yang saw the man, she politely and reservedly called him, "Brother."
