Six o'clock in the morning.
A black Rolls-Royce drove into the Li Castle.
The car door opened.
A tall and slender man strode into the living room.
Because they had known that Li Zhenting would come back, Butler Luo and Butler Qiu got up early. The living room was brightly lit, and everyone was waiting for him.
Li Zhenting came in, exhausted and asked, "How is the old man?"
"Young Master, the old man has been sometimes lucid and sometimes confused these days. Whenever he wakes up, he will call your name." Butler Luo replied.
Li Zhenting's eyes turned red and he strode towards the old man's bedroom.
"Grandpa." In the bedroom, the old man's cheeks were sunken and his face was pale. His once strong body was now so thin that it was just a straight line, and his lips were bloodless.
He must not have fallen asleep, as he opened his eyes when he heard Li Zhenting's voice.
"Grandpa." Li Zhenting knelt in front of the bed, feeling extremely heartbroken, his voice choked with sobs, and he held the old man's hand tightly.
"Zhen, Zhenting." Old Master Li opened his eyes wide and looked at his favorite grandson. A dark light shone from his cloudy eyes. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Grandpa, the Li Group is safe now. Everything is fine. Don't worry. As long as I am here, I will manage the Li Group well. You don't have to say anything, just listen. I will be here with you forever." Li Zhenting was filled with remorse and hated himself for being incompetent and not being able to come back earlier to accompany his grandfather. At this time, Grandpa Li looked dying and his life was in countdown.
He held his grandfather's hand tightly, put it to his face, and tears flowed down his face.
Li Jichun must have heard his words clearly. A hint of color appeared on his face, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Upstairs, the alarm clock rang again and again.
Chen Mei couldn't open her eyes.
Li Zhenting came home at six in the morning. Before going to bed, she had set the alarm clock and was ready to get out of bed, wash up, and dress beautifully to greet him.
But when the alarm clock rang again and again, she, who was used to getting up late, couldn't open her eyes.
Finally, he fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.
She got up immediately.
Oh no, Li Zhenting must have gone home.
She didn't go to greet him and missed the opportunity to show her courtesy. Would he have any opinion of her? If it was Shen Ning, she would definitely greet him on time.
She immediately got up and started to dress up. It took her an hour to finish dressing up.
Downstairs, Li Wanqing got up immediately after hearing the news that her son had returned.
"Zhenting, get up. Your grandfather knows what you mean." When she walked in, Li Zhenting was kneeling in front of Li Jichun's bed, holding Li Jichun's hand and covering his face with his hands, crying. She felt sorry for her son, went forward to help him up, and took a chair for him to sit down.
Li Zhenting was unable to calm down. He held the old man's hand tightly and refused to let go, talking to him non-stop.
The medical team arrived early in the morning.
Everyone gathered together and was busy.
"Zhen Ting, you're back." After a while, a soft voice was heard at the door. Everyone turned around and saw Shen Ning walking in with delicate heavy makeup. As soon as she came in, a strong smell of perfume wafted in. Everyone sniffed slightly and didn't say anything for a while. Shen Mei walked over, pushed the doctor next to her, rushed over, took Li Zhenting's arm, and leaned her chest tightly against the man's arm, her eyes full of affection.
Li Wanqing frowned when she saw the heavily made-up woman.
What's wrong with Shen Ning? Such a clueless person!
Everyone was immersed in sadness at the moment, and she was the only one who dressed like this inappropriately, as if she was attending a wedding banquet. She was never seen like this normally, but today she was so out of line!
Even if her husband had just returned after a long separation, she couldn't dress like this in front of a dying old man.
