Manager Sun and Zhou Chuan were both startled by the old man's appearance.
Zhou Chuan, in particular, stared wide-eyed, almost too afraid to move.
"Grandpa Xia, what... what's wrong with you?" Zhou Chuan was trying to curry favor with Grandpa Xia, and now he changed his address very smoothly.
He stepped forward and gently patted the old man's back, trying to make him more comfortable.
The old man was panting heavily, his disgust for Zhou Chuan growing even stronger.
He wanted to push the person away, but he didn't have much strength. On the contrary, Zhou Chuan's proximity made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the door was pushed open in time, and the captain rushed in: "Uncle Xia, what happened to you?"
"Where did you come from, kid? Get out of here!" the captain yelled, then called out, "Old Zhang, Old Zhang, come quick! Uncle Xia is in trouble!"
This howl startled everyone who was busy outside.
They ran over quickly and saw this scene.
"Old Xia, what's wrong with you?"
"Captain, what's wrong with the old man? Is something wrong with him?"
"What exactly did you two do to Elder Xia? Elder Xia was perfectly fine just now, but as soon as you arrived, something happened to him."
Neither Steward Sun nor Zhou Chuan looked very good.
They had no idea what was going on.
Others may not recognize Steward Sun, but the team leader does.
However, since he didn't need to beg Steward Sun for anything, he naturally didn't give him a friendly look.
"Manager Sun, my Uncle Xia's health wasn't very good to begin with. The medical reports from the health center are right there. Why can't you talk things out properly instead of getting him so upset?"
"If something really happens to Uncle Xia, do you think your status is enough to compensate for it?"
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Xia Zhengyuan and his group are already finished, but Xia Anyan is not.
Even if she had only a little bit of what the Xia family left her, she would still live better than all of them combined.
On the surface, Xia Zhengyuan's things were all destroyed, but who can say for sure whether Xia Anyan had left herself a backup plan?
Manager Sun was also startled and hurriedly explained, "Brother Xia, you've misunderstood. We didn't come here because... Oh dear, it really was a misunderstanding."
"Look, how about we take the old man to the clinic first? I remember our brigade has bicycles, right? How about we ride them there?"
Manager Sun gave Zhou Chuan a sidelong glance, looking utterly disgusted.
He's truly someone who's more trouble than he's worth.
I've said it before: once he arrives, we should talk things out and communicate properly, but he insists on being so forceful.
The old man is so old, and he only has this one granddaughter. Even if he wants to keep her, it's only natural.
I don't know if Zhou Chuan has lost his mind, but he actually came here in person. He's really sick, seriously sick!
"No need, you all get out of here," Old Zhang said coldly, glancing at them. "Our old man's health has always been poor, something must have happened just now. If Manager Sun and Captain Zhou can't give our old man an explanation, then this matter is not over!"
Old Zhang doesn't care who these people are; if they make the old man uncomfortable, none of them will have a good time.
Although Old Zhang is the housekeeper of this family, he has actually been with the old man for many years. He is also skilled in martial arts and was even raised by the old man, who is closer to him than his own son.
The old man once said he wanted to adopt him as his godson, but Old Zhang didn't agree. The two of them have been getting along like this ever since.
Old Zhang has no biological father, no legal father, but he has long regarded Old Master Xia as his father. Seeing him so angry at the two of them, he didn't take action directly, all because it was Miss's big day.
"Grandpa Xia, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this either... I apologize to you. I'll take you to the clinic now, okay?" Zhou Chuan was sweating profusely and very worried.
He knew how much Xia Anyan cared about Old Master Xia, what if...
What if something really happens to this old man? How am I supposed to explain this to Xia Anyan?
"I said, no need!" Old Zhang exuded coldness and killing intent.
Manager Sun shuddered and dragged Zhou Chuan away by force.
Seeing that he still didn't want to leave, Manager Sun was about to explode: "Captain Zhou, can't you see the current situation clearly? If something really happens to that old man, we'll both lose our positions."
"We might even lose our lives!" Manager Sun gritted his teeth. "That's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I'm going back now to report this matter. If you don't want to go back, then let's pretend we never met today."
Manager Sun left him there.
They arrived on a bicycle, but after Manager Sun left, Zhou Chuan had to walk back by himself.
On the way back, he kept thinking about why things had turned out this way and how he should resolve it.
I've thought of many solutions, but I still can't find any.
until……
He witnessed a scene that horrified him.
Manager Sun was parked by the roadside, talking to someone.
The people speaking were Gu Shen and Xia Anyan.
The two were riding a bicycle, with Xia Anyan's hands on Gu Shen's waist, looking very intimate.
Zhou Chuan's eyes were blazing with murderous intent as he charged straight at Gu Shen.
Gu Shen had actually noticed it long ago and turned to look at Zhou Chuan.
The moment their eyes met, Gu Shen raised an eyebrow: "What, Captain Zhou, are you here for my and Yan Yan's wedding too?"
That one sentence silenced Zhou Chuan completely.
What?
What kind of wedding?
them……
Zhou Chuan's eyes were filled with resentment and confusion as he stared intently at Xia Anyan, seemingly seeking her answer.
Xia Anyan, however, remained indifferent, merely glancing at him before averting her gaze.
Zhou Chuan couldn't take it anymore. He rushed up to Xia Anyan and demanded, "Xia, what's going on? Why wasn't your marriage reported to the brigade? Why didn't I know about it? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Manager Sun watched from the side, looking on with disdain.
This Zhou Chuan really thinks he's someone important.
He's just a captain; Xia Anyan could get approval from many leaders if she wanted to get married.
Besides, she married a soldier, why would she need a battalion commander to stop her?
"Captain Zhou, you're just a captain. Do people need your permission to get married? Their parents all agree, so why don't you? Do you think you can make decisions for Comrade Xia better than her parents?"
Zhou Chuan was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
Manager Sun sneered, "Captain Zhou, you wouldn't happen to have your own selfish motives, would you?"
