Wang Wei was perfectly aware of Wang Qingzhu's feelings, but he simply ignored them...
He quietly walked to Lu Zhengguo's bedside and subconsciously took a deep breath...
"You brat, the patriarch died because of you, and you are utterly responsible. So you'd better save the patriarch, or you won't be able to leave the Lu family unscathed..."
Hearing Wang Qingzhu's words, Wang Wei was somewhat annoyed; at a time like this, she was still affecting his mindset...
However, he was a man who had seen his share of storms and wouldn't be threatened by a woman. He looked at Wang Qingzhu and coldly retorted.
"You'd better be prepared to sign..."
After saying that, Wang Wei mentally took out one year of the three-year lifespan given to him by the system, intending to give it to Lu Zhengguo. The reason it was only one year was because he still needed to use it when he went to the Qiao family for a free meal at the Divine Banquet…
But the first attempt failed, which surprised him. Wasn't it supposed to be able to allocate resources at will?
"Is this any good? If not, then get away from the head of the family's bedside right now. You're disturbing the atmosphere around him..."
Seeing Wang Wei's puzzled expression, Wang Qingzhu immediately made sarcastic remarks, constantly trying to affect Wang Wei's mindset, since treating patients and saving lives requires a clear mind...
Wang Qingzhu knew this, so her words, besides being humiliating to Wang Wei, were also intended to influence his mindset...
Wang Wei glared fiercely at Wang Qingzhu, his menacing glare causing Wang Qingzhu to abruptly stop speaking…
The surrounding environment finally quieted down again, and Wang Wei began to search for the reason why the gift had failed...
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao also showed a nervous expression, afraid that Wang Wei wouldn't be able to do it...
She wasn't heartbroken about the inheritance rights; she just couldn't accept that Wang Wei was being looked down upon...
Because he was too close to Lu Zhengguo, he couldn't speak, otherwise it would affect the patient's vital signs. He just glared at Wang Qingzhu, telling her to shut up...
Then, following the system's prompt, it was learned that if it were a gift of lifespan, contact with the recipient was required...
This made Wang Wei suddenly realize why he had failed just now, so he immediately reached out and touched Lu Zhengguo's hand...
"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
Wang Qingzhu tried to stop it, but it was too late. A flash of white light, and a year's lifespan had been injected into Lu Zhengguo's body...
Lu Zhengguo, who had been on the verge of death, began to breathe steadily, and the skin on his face visibly regained its rosy hue, losing its initial sickly pallor…
Seeing this, Wang Qingzhu's face turned ugly, while Lu Xiaoxiao's face revealed undisguised excitement...
The expressions on their faces perfectly conveyed what love and the lack thereof truly meant…
"Brother Wei, how is my grandfather?"
Seeing Wang Wei look up, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't contain her excitement and asked...
"Don't worry, Grandpa Lu will wake up soon..."
Wang Wei said calmly…
"Hmph! They clearly can't do it, yet they insist on making it sound so convincing; it's truly despicable..."
When Wang Qingzhu saw that Lu Zhengguo hadn't woken up, she assumed that Wang Wei had failed and immediately began to mock him...
"It seems some people can't wait..."
Wang Wei's words were pointed, which gave Wang Qingzhu a cold shoulder, and her face turned somewhat ugly...
However, she was shameless by nature, so why would she care about such mocking words? She merely gave a cold laugh to cover her embarrassment, and then continued...
"Now things are clear. You can't cure the head of the family's illness. According to the agreement, everything about Lu Xiaoxiao is mine. Sign now..."
"Who says I can't do it?"
Wang Wei looked at Wang Qingzhu and asked in return…
"Isn't the situation obvious enough? The patriarch hasn't changed at all. According to the bet, you've lost. Everything Xiaoxiao has is mine now..."
Looking at Lu Zhengguo on the hospital bed, Wang Qingzhu couldn't wait to receive everything about Lu Xiaoxiao...
"Stepmother, didn't you see that Grandpa's complexion has become rosy? How can you lie through your teeth?"
Lu Xiaoxiao angrily questioned...
"What? Can't accept defeat?"
Wang Qingzhu glared at the two men with a vicious look in her eyes, wishing she could devour them whole…
"It's only been two or three minutes, and you're already so eager to seize everything from Xiaoxiao, completely ignoring the changes in Old Master Lu. This shows you don't care about the Lu family head at all, or rather, you don't care about the Lu family itself. All you want is the Lu family's wealth and background, to use them as bargaining chips. You're such a vicious woman, it's disgusting..."
Wang Wei looked at Wang Qingzhu mockingly. His words made Wang Qingzhu's face instantly turn ugly, but she seemed not to hear Wang Wei's words and said with a cold laugh.
"In this world, only power and money are the foundation of survival. Now that all of this is laid out before me, why can't I take it for myself? If you can't fulfill your bet, then as the matriarch of the household, I will definitely spread this matter far and wide, letting everyone know that Lu Xiaoxiao is a person who breaks her word. Let's see who dares to support this greenhorn girl..."
"What if I support her?"
An aged voice suddenly rang out, startling all three of them. They then looked at Lu Zhengguo on the hospital bed…
He had woken up by now, his complexion was rosy, and he didn't look like someone who had been ill for a long time...
Under the watchful eyes of the three men, Lu Zhengguo raised his hand and removed the oxygen mask from his face, his eyes flashing with a captivating light…
This sent a shiver down Wang Qingzhu's spine; she knew she was finished…
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately rushed to Lu Zhengguo's side and asked excitedly.
"Grandpa, you're awake. Are you alright?"
Looking at Lu Xiaoxiao, Lu Zhengguo's eyes were filled with affection. If it weren't for his illness, he really wouldn't have been able to tell who was sincere towards him and who was just pretending...
"I'm fine, all thanks to you, my little boyfriend, otherwise I really would have closed my eyes right now..."
Hearing Lu Zhengguo's words, Lu Xiaoxiao blushed and then whispered...
"Grandpa, not yet..."
"Haha... Look at you, your whole heart is with him. If your little boyfriend doesn't agree, you'll probably go on a hunger strike..."
Lu Zhengguo said jokingly, but it also revealed Lu Xiaoxiao's personality—absolutely loyal…
"No way... Grandpa just makes fun of people..."
Lu Xiaoxiao said with a blush...
Lu Zhengguo was in high spirits. He sat up in bed and removed all the medical equipment and tubes from his body; they were no longer needed…
He felt healthier than ever before, his physical condition was as if it had returned to what it was a year ago, with no trace of illness...
"Xiao Wei, thank you again. This is the second time you've saved me..."
Lu Zhengguo looked at Wang Wei gratefully and said that he had thought his life was over, but he never expected to have another chance...
