——
Zhou Yuheng learned the news that his grandfather was hospitalized from a good friend.
After handing over the work in his hands, he hurried back to Beijing.
…
at the same time,
Hospital.
In the private ward, the old man on the bed was still connected to an oxygen tube.
Zhou Pingqian and his wife were feeding someone and massaging someone's legs respectively.
The old man is out of danger now, but the doctor still wants him to use oxygen for two days.
While eating, the old man suddenly asked, "You didn't tell Yuheng about my hospitalization, did you?"
Zhou Pingqian smiled when he heard this, "I know you don't want me to tell you, so his mother and I didn't tell you."
Xia Li also hurriedly said, "Dad, Yu Heng is out of town. If we don't notify him, he definitely won't know. You can be discharged from the hospital when he comes back."
Mr. Zhou nodded in satisfaction, then thought of the girl who saved him and asked, "By the way, Ping Qian, do you have a contact for the girl who saved me that day?"
Zhou Pingqian heard this and subconsciously said, "Dad, I've asked my men to check your address. When you feel better tomorrow, I'll go visit you in person."
The old man frowned and simply stopped eating.
"I can eat and drink, and I'm fine. You have to pay attention to this matter and thank the benefactor quickly. Don't let them think we don't take it seriously."
Seeing this, Xia Li hurriedly explained: "Dad, don't be angry, the benefactor's gift has been arranged and was originally planned to come to your house tomorrow."
Seeing the old man acting like a child, Zhou Pingqian reluctantly admitted his mistake and said, "It's my fault. We will definitely go there early tomorrow morning and make sure it's done beautifully for you."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, saying, "That girl is young, calm and resourceful when faced with difficulties. She looks promising. Thank her sincerely on behalf of your father, and don't go up and talk about money or not to upset her."
"Okay, son, I understand."
Zhou Pingqian was at a loss for words. He was already in his 40s, yet he still had to be reminded by his father like a child.
…
Xia Li stayed with the old man in the hospital for a while, then returned home to check if any gifts were missing.
As a result, I saw my sister-in-law's bicycle at the door.
She went into the house, changed her shoes, handed her bag to the nanny, and asked casually, "Someone's here again."
The nanny nodded and whispered, "Madam, Zhou Xiaohui went upstairs to your room and didn't let me follow her. I secretly saw her trying on your clothes."
Xia Li frowned when she heard this, and felt very disgusted with this petty sister-in-law.
Why is he rummaging through her closet like a thief? It's disgusting for no reason.
"Go upstairs and call them down, and tell them I'm back."
The nanny quickly responded: "Oh, I'll go right away."
Xia Li poured herself a cup of scented tea and sat down on the sofa in the living room waiting for someone.
After a while, footsteps and a laughing woman's voice were heard on the stairs.
"Oh, Lily is back. I was thinking you should stay with dad for a while longer."
The woman walking down the stairs was wearing a neat work uniform, her hair was neatly combed, her slightly old face was covered with fine lines, her cheekbones were high and there was a hint of shrewdness between her brows.
After hearing this, Xia Li took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly, "Sister Hui, what you said is true. How can a daughter-in-law be as close as a daughter? Besides, the hospital has nurses and doctors. Going there would only get in the way."
The way she said it, if you didn't know, you would think that she, as a daughter-in-law, despised the old man.
Zhou Xiaohui came over and sat down, first asking the nanny to get some orange juice, muttering dissatisfiedly, "The old man likes you two. If a girl like me goes there, he will dislike me. Isn't this your chance to show off?"
Charlie put the teacup down on the table with a thud.
Zhou Xiaohui on the opposite side choked, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Oh, Lily is angry now, isn't this just a joke?"
Xia Li looked at the grinning man with a cold expression and said unhappily, "Is the old man's hospitalization a joke?"
Just then, the nanny brought in orange juice. Zhou Xiaohui felt embarrassed and immediately acted like an older sister-in-law, saying, "Xia Li! After all, I'm a dozen years older than you. Zhou Pingqian didn't even bother to teach me a lesson, so why should you teach me a lesson?"
"You don't have to use others to pressure me. If you want to show off, go ahead! Who can stop you?"
Xia Li got up and went upstairs. She hated her elder sister-in-law very much.
Zhou Xiaohui is the daughter of Mr. Zhou’s ex-wife, and she and her husband Zhou Pingqian are half-siblings.
But their personalities can be said to be very different.
The old man’s ex-wife was an arranged marriage by his family, and he was 8 years older than her.
Later, the old man led his troops to fight and was promoted step by step. Later, he planned to bring his parents to the city to live in their old age. When he returned home, he accidentally encountered his ex-wife abusing his parents, and he divorced her in anger.
Zhou Xiaohui was already 8 years old at that time. She insisted on living with her mother after the divorce, and the old man continued to pay alimony.
Later, the old man married his current wife. They loved each other very much and had a son, Zhou Pingqian.
The family lived in harmony. As the old man rose to prominence, the Zhou family lived better and better.
At this time, Zhou Xiaohui, who was unhappy living with her mother, cried and wanted to follow her father again.
It is said that after returning to the Zhou family, she relied on her father's status to stir up trouble, competed with Renmin University students for a partner, and cried and insisted on marrying a man younger than her.
The man she married had a family that had a reputation of being an official, but they were actually extremely poor.
Ever since she got married, she has been moving things from her parents' home to her husband's home, first the money and then the things, anyway, she wants to take advantage of them.
Later, during those years, my husband was sent down to the countryside and died within a few years.
She cried and shouted and wanted to go back to her parents' home with her son.
It was lucky that Mr. Zhou could keep the mother and daughter from being demoted. Naturally, he couldn't bring them back home and get involved. After all, the investigation was very strict at that time.
