"Thank you in advance, sister! By the way, how's your husband? How is he?" the young man asked.
"Still the same as before, he hasn't woken up," Xiao Qianqian replied.
"Don't worry too much, little sister. I believe he will wake up," the young man comforted her.
"Yes, I'll find a way to cure him."
"My sister's medical skills are so amazing, I believe you can definitely cure my brother-in-law. Besides, you have a master of unparalleled skill; it's only a matter of time before he wakes up."
"The young man is right."
"I'll send you the hospital's location. Come over tomorrow. Everyone's tired today, so get some rest."
'Okay, your grandpa's already starting to doze off.'
"My grandfather is here too?"
"Yes, he was also worried about his brother-in-law, so he wanted to come and see him."
"Why didn't Grandpa tell me he was coming?" Xiao Qianqian said reproachfully.
"The old man was worried about you too," the young man explained.
"Alright, then you guys should get some rest," Xiao Qianqian instructed.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, the ward returned to silence.
Xiao Qianqian looked at the man on the hospital bed and silently prayed that he would wake up soon.
Inside the Ye family's old house, Ye's mother was on the phone; "Dad, I didn't tell you because I was worried about your health."
"Such a big thing happened in Asen, and I, as his grandfather, only found out about it from other people. Is that acceptable?" The old man opposite him was very angry.
"Dad, don't get so agitated. The doctor said you have high blood pressure and shouldn't get emotional."
"How is Asen now?" the old man asked.
"She's still unconscious, but the doctor said she's out of danger," Night Mother replied.
“I’m going to the hospital to see Asen,” the old man said.
"Dad, your health isn't suited for long-distance travel. Let's wait until Asen wakes up before we come to see him," Mother Ye advised.
"No, I won't feel at ease if I don't come and check." The old man's attitude was very firm.
"Xiaomei, we're coming with Dad, don't worry." The person who answered the old man's phone was his brother, who was the president.
"Brother, are you coming too? It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."
"It's alright, I'll disguise myself and no one will notice. Ah Sen is injured like this, I can't rest easy if I don't come and check on him."
"Alright then, I'll send you the hospital address. Just go directly to the hospital."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yanmei looked at her husband beside her: "My dad and the others are coming to see Asen."
"Okay, let's go to the hospital then. I heard that the murderer has been caught and Asen is safe now."
"That's great! Do you know who it is?"
Father Ye remained silent for a moment.
"What? Is it someone you know?"
Father Ye glanced at his wife beside him. "He's the son of an old friend of mine, one of my father's drivers when he was young. He took a bullet for me and died. I didn't know his wife was pregnant. The family fell into poverty after the driver's death. She died from postpartum hemorrhage, and the baby was thrown into a trash can. The murderer was the child who was thrown into the trash can. That's why I've been depressed ever since I came back. I've been blaming myself for not finding that driver's wife and making arrangements for her future."
Mother Ye was also shocked when she heard this, and looked at Father Ye with a look of astonishment. She never expected that such a thing could happen.
"For so many years, Dad has never been able to let go of this matter..." Father Ye sighed softly.
"What do we do now?" Mother Night asked anxiously.
"Life is unpredictable. We can only wait for Dad to figure it out himself. I reckon he'll find a way to make it up to that child." Father Ye shook his head helplessly.
The two fell silent, their hearts filled with worry. They didn't know how to face this sudden truth, nor how to comfort their elderly and remorseful father.
"Oh, right, I heard from Dad that he wants to make Qianqian the acting president of the company."
"Make Qianqian the acting president of the company? Qianqian is pregnant, and besides, she has to take care of Asen..." Mother Ye was completely stunned; she was too surprised to believe it.
"I'm telling you, what was Dad thinking? Why did he decide to make Qianqian the acting president? Couldn't someone else do it?"
"Honey, don't worry. Maybe Dad has his reasons. We can talk to him sometime," Ye Zixuan comforted her.
"Talk? How can we talk? How can Qianqian be the acting president in her current state?" Mother Ye still couldn't accept this decision.
"I believe Dad wouldn't do anything impulsive; perhaps he made the decision after careful consideration," Ye Zixuan analyzed.
"It's all my fault. I was only interested in having fun when I was young, and I left the company to my father and Ah Sen. Now I can't get involved in the company's affairs." Father Ye's face was heavy and full of self-blame.
"We can't let Qianqian suffer! What she needs most right now is rest and care," Mother Ye said with heartache.
“I understand. We can discuss it with Qianqian and see what she thinks. If she also feels she can’t handle it, then we can explain it to Dad together,” Ye Zixuan proposed a solution.
Mother Ye nodded, her mood calming down slightly. "Alright, let's do it your way. I hope Dad understands our concerns."
"Hmm." Both of their faces were filled with worry.
"Let's go to the hospital and see. It'll also give Qianqian a rest. She's been working so hard at the hospital every day. Oh, right, the food there probably isn't very good. I'll go to the kitchen and make her some soup to take over."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The father and mother had a very good relationship; they always followed each other's lead.
Behind a large tree by the gate, the second uncle and his wife, who had overheard the entire conversation, wore expressions of anger, their hands clenched so tightly that the veins bulged. They had originally planned to try and persuade the old man to allow their son to return to the Ye family, but they never expected to hear such shocking news.
"Tell me, what was your father thinking? Leaving his perfectly good grandson unused, and letting a pregnant young girl take over as the company's president." "That old man, he must be senile!" Auntie cursed.
"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you." Second Uncle quickly tugged at Second Aunt's sleeve.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's true. What does that little girl know about managing a company? Isn't she just pushing the company into a fire pit?" Auntie persisted.
"What should we do then? We need to think of a solution." Second Uncle frowned.
"I think we can talk to the other shareholders and make them understand the stakes involved," Auntie suggested.
"Hmm, that's a good idea. But we have to be careful how we do it, we can't let Dad find out," Uncle Er reminded him.
"I know, I'll be careful," Auntie nodded in response.
The two left the Ye family's old house with ulterior motives.
