Chapter 717 Lu Tingchuan Kneels
Lu Tingchuan's heart choked, and he felt a lingering sense of panic. He rubbed his hands, trying to massage away the sudden pain, but the feeling was still there. It wasn't very painful, but it was vaguely suffocating, as if his head was flooded by water.
He took out his cell phone and took a look. Shen Qing was sleeping at this time.
Normally, when he wanted to ask Shen Qing what she was doing at home, he would call Aunt Lin, because if he called Shen Qing, she wouldn't know how to answer.
Lu Tingchuan was about to call Shen Qing when the driver in front said, "Mr. Lu, we're here."
Lu Tingchuan put away his phone and got out of the car. A drop of rain fell on the corner of his eye. He reached out to wipe it away and looked up at the foggy sky. It was raining.
Lu Tingchuan quickened his pace and walked into the Li family's old house. When the servant saw him, he respectfully called out, "Mr. Lu."
"Well, where's the old man?"
"Upstairs, the master..." Before she could finish her words, Lu Tingchuan walked around her and ran upstairs anxiously.
Mr. Li's illness relapsed. Professor Li gave him emergency treatment two hours ago and he is now receiving intravenous fluids.
"grandfather."
Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
Lu Tingchuan glanced around but didn't see Professor Li. "Where's the doctor who treated you?"
The old housekeeper on the side said: "He has gone back. What do you want to see him for, Mr. Lu?"
"Shen Qing needs a craniotomy. The hospital said that only if he can perform the surgery can Shen Qing survive..."
After hearing what he said, there was nothing he couldn't understand. Old Master Li looked at him with cold eyes and an ambiguous expression on his face.
"So it's because of Shen Qing. No wonder he started calling me grandpa."
Lu Tingchuan lowered his head and clenched his hands on his thighs. Then, he knelt down with his knees bent. "Grandpa, I have never asked you for anything in my life. This is the first time I ask you. Please save Shen Qing. For the sake of her giving birth to two great-grandchildren for you, if she dies, I will never live alone..."
Old Master Li looked at him for a long moment and said, "The person you should ask for help is not me, but the Li family."
Lu Tingchuan was stunned.
"You don't know Professor Li's identity, do you? Li Yu, Li Yun's nominal uncle, is a member of the Li family."
Li Yu was adopted into the Li family. Although there is no blood relationship, this favor is greater than family affection. Lu Tingchuan made the Li family lose face so much, ran away from the engagement party, and made Li Yun a laughing stock in the industry. These are all forgettable. A few months ago, he caused a car accident in an attempt to kill Li Yun. Adding up all the new and old grudges, why does Lu Tingchuan think that the Li family will give in and Li Yu will help Lu Tingchuan save Shen Qing?
There were too many people with the surname Li, so when Lu Tingchuan heard it, he thought it was just a person with the same surname, and thought it was the doctor that Mr. Li had invited to come to his house specifically.
He thought too much of it was just his own opinion, and the color drained from Lu Tingchuan's face.
Old Master Li continued, "I once taught you to always leave a way out in life and not to go too far. Do you think I asked you to marry Li Yun just to arrange a marriage? Lu Tingchuan, I asked you for your opinion at the time, and it was you who agreed to marry Li Yun. You ran away from the marriage and broke your promise. Who would trust you if you don't keep your word? You're in business and you can't go against your reputation. I gave those videos to Li Yun to help her cool down, but you were thinking about how to vent your anger on Shen Qing and arranged to hit her with a car. Fortunately, she's fine. If she had been in trouble, do you think you would still be here?"
"Grandpa, I..."
Old Master Li interrupted him: "Lu Tingchuan, no one will tolerate your bad temper. You should walk the path you have chosen. If you want to save Shen Qing, go kneel at the gate of the Li family and beg Li Yun."
Lu Tingchuan stood up muffledly and left the room without looking back. He went downstairs, got in the car and asked the driver to drive to the Li family.
His knee ached slightly, and he rubbed it with his hand. His face grew paler and paler. A good hand of cards was ruined, which describes him now.
He knew without thinking how much Li Yun hated him and Shen Qing. Would she let Li Yu save Shen Qing?
Lu Tingchuan's mind was full of what Mr. Li said, and he also thought of what Li Yun had said to him in the past.
"Lu Tingchuan, you will regret this."
Yes, he regretted it. What he regretted was the harm he had caused to Shen Qing. If he had not agreed to the marriage with the Li family in the beginning, none of these things would have happened later.
Lu Tingchuan took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and then called Li Yun. His hand was shaking as he held the phone.
The phone rang once and then was hung up. Lu Tingchuan called again, and the other party hung up again. After five calls in a row, the other party finally picked up the phone impatiently.
"What's up?"
"Are you home?"
"At home, what's up?"
"I have something very important to discuss with you. Please make time to meet with me."
"Please?" Li Yun smiled at the word. She had never seen Lu Tingchuan so dismissive before. "Mr. Lu, it's rare for you to contact me and offer me an invitation. But I don't have time to see you today, and I don't want to. Ever since what you said to me at the Li family dinner, I don't want to see you again."
"Ms. Li, I really have something very important to ask you. I will do anything you ask me to do." Lu Tingchuan lowered his voice.
This was the first time Li Yun had seen Lu Tingchuan being so humble. She was a little curious about what kind of thing could make Lu Tingchuan put aside his self-esteem and pride to beg her.
"Okay, since you're being so humble, I'll be kind enough to meet you. When will you be there?"
"Half an hour."
"Okay." Not long after Li Yun hung up, another call came in. She checked the contact. "Grandpa Li, what's going on today?" The grandfather and grandson called her together, and she answered...
Lu Tingchuan breathed a sigh of relief briefly and asked the driver to drive faster. Along the way, he thought of countless ways to make Li Yun calm down and let Dr. Li save Shen Qing.
But he had never expected a good result. He knew that Li Yun was a vengeful person. Perhaps, no matter what he did, she would never let it go.
He arrived at the Li family's house in less than half an hour. The gate was locked and there were only guards and servants at the door.
"I have an appointment with Miss Li to discuss something. Can you go and inform her?"
"The lady has already informed us. She said that as long as you kneel here for half an hour, she will come out to see you." It was broad daylight at the gate and there were passers-by. No one would kneel down, let alone someone as high and mighty as Lu Tingchuan. In his eyes, dignity was worth everything.
Seeing that he looked very unhappy, the servant guessed that he was about to turn around and leave. However, he took a step back, leaned forward on his knees and slowly knelt on the ground. His already injured knee became more and more painful.
"As long as she is willing to see me, I will kneel for as long as I want."
"Mr. Lu, why do you have to..." Seeing his determined expression, the servant knew that no matter how much she said, she couldn't persuade him, so she just let him go.
He knelt on the ground, and soon it started to rain...
