Outside the special care ward of the military general hospital in Beijing, almost the entire Gao family had arrived. Gao Mingcheng was critically ill again, and the doctors were still inside trying to save him. His fate was unknown, and the atmosphere around them was extremely heavy.
Gao Hongfei, leaning on his cane, stood guard at the door. After standing for a long time, he became exhausted and swayed slightly.
Gao Lianzhou, who was standing nearby, quickly helped him up, saying, "Be careful, Grandpa."
Ying Rongrong looked at him worriedly: "Go sit down for a while first."
Gao Hongfei shook his head, looking worriedly at the still-closed door of the ward: "How can I sit still right now?"
Ying Rongrong forcefully pulled his arm: "Whether you can sit still now or not, it won't change anything. Don't wait until Dad gets better and then you fall ill, making the old man worry about you while he's sick."
Gao Hongfei's daughter, Gao Yue, also chimed in, "Yes, Dad, go sit down for a while."
Gao Hongfei still refused.
His eldest son, Gao Han, with a cold expression on his handsome face, walked straight over and forcefully pulled Gao Hongfei to sit down on a chair: "Since I told you to sit, then sit."
Gao Hongfei glared angrily at Gao Han. "You brat, you've gone too far! Have you forgotten who's your father?"
They ignored the high altitude and cold weather.
Just then, heavy footsteps sounded from the side corridor, followed by an old but strong voice: "What are you all doing here? Is Gao Mingcheng going to die?"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone except the three children changed their expressions instantly.
Ying Rongrong turned her head sharply, looked at Lin Wan who was slowly walking towards them, and said with a dark expression: "How dare you come here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Xing Zhaozhao following behind Lin Wan. Her angry expression changed again, showing shock, but more so, a strange panic.
It's her? How did she end up with us? So, her previous suspicions were correct; she really is connected to the Lin family? But why now of all times?
Ying Rongrong suddenly recalled the phone call her friend made to her at the police station that day.
"Hey, Lao Ying, do you know that your father-in-law is keeping a young wife in her twenties?"
A sudden chill ran through Ying Rongrong, and she looked at Xing Zhaozhao with disbelief. Could it be her?
She turned to look at Gao Hongfei beside her, who was staring at Xing Zhaozhao in shock and was completely speechless. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.
Gao Han looked at Xing Zhaozhao and his face showed undisguised disgust.
Gao Yue, who was standing to the side, was also there.
When Lin Wan was causing trouble in the Gao family, they were already grown up and knew a lot about what was going on in the family. Naturally, they wouldn't have any good feelings towards Xing Zhaozhao's face, even though it was said that her face looked a lot like their grandmother's.
"Who is she?" Gao Han adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice.
Gao Yue shook her head: "I don't know him."
The two turned to look at Gao Yang, who was speechless with shock, and their eyes flashed.
"You know her, Xiao Yang?" Gao Han asked.
Gao Yang gave a bitter smile and nodded. Before he could say anything, Gao Lianzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Fairy Sister? What brings you to the capital?"
Fairy sister? What the heck?
Gao Han's expression froze, and he turned to look at Gao Lianzhou in surprise. How come this kid got a share?
Just as he was about to ask, Gao Lianzhou darted past him and jumped in front of Xing Zhaozhao.
Unexpectedly, this little guy was actually her great-grandson. Xing Zhaozhao looked at Gao Lianzhou, her gaze softening even more: "It's been a long time, Lianzhou."
“Since you were coming to the capital, you should have told me. I could have sent a car to pick you up.” Gao Lianzhou said, turning her head curiously to look at Lin Wan. “And who is this old lady? Is she your grandmother? You two look quite alike.”
Those around him, including Xia Fanxing and Xia Xiaoyue who were even younger than him, were at a loss for words.
"Sigh." Gao Han took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and sighed heavily in resignation. How could he have given birth to such a silly little boy?
Gao Yue leaned close to Gao Han's ear and said, "Brother, you and sister-in-law should consider having another child. Otherwise, I'm worried that if Zhaohong Group is passed on to him, it will be finished very quickly."
Gao Han turned and gave Gao Yue a cold look: "Don't you still have yourself? You still have two more. If all else fails, you and Xia Chen can continue to have children."
Gao Yue quickly shook her head, looking as if she wanted to avoid it at all costs: "Then forget it. My whole family are lazy. We just want dividends, we don't want to be beasts of burden."
Gao Niu Ma Han: "..." He didn't want to do it anymore either.
Lin Wan looked at Gao Lianzhou with a kind smile, and her mood became even more cheerful when she thought about how the next generation of the Gao family was such a silly little boy: "Hello, little one, you can call me Grandma Lin. I am Zhao Zhao's great-aunt."
"Zhao Zhao?" Gao Hongfei slowly stood up from his chair, staring intently at Xing Zhao Zhao, his eyes reddening. "You... are also named Zhao Zhao?"
Xing Zhaozhao stared greedily at Gao Hongfei, a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint of tears welling up in her eyes.
She had just separated from her son, Dafei, two days ago. She never expected that he would grow old so quickly. But no matter how young or old he is, he is still her son.
Xing Zhaozhao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat tightened and she couldn't speak. She cleared her throat, calmed herself down, and then pretended to be calm, saying, "Hello, Chairman Gao, my name is Xing Zhaozhao."
"Xing?" Gao Hongfei's voice trembled, and his tall body also shuddered.
Is this really just a coincidence? Do such coincidences really exist in the world?
Gao Han and Gao Yue exchanged a glance, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. Not only the old man's attitude, but also the way the woman with the exact same name as their deceased grandmother looked at their old man was strange—excited, and somewhat gratified.
Lin Wan watched Gao Hongfei's reaction with satisfaction, then stepped forward and blocked Xing Zhaozhao's path: "Do you know why I brought Zhaozhao along this time?"
When Gao Hongfei saw Lin Wan, he was reminded of his painful past, and his expression turned serious. His initial excitement cooled down.
I've already made a foolish mistake once; I can't afford to make it a second time.
There are no such coincidences in this world, and yet they all seem to come together. It must be deliberate, and the old woman in front of him is well-versed in this.
Gao Hongfei glanced coldly at Lin Wan and said in a deep voice, "What else could it be? Don't you just want to repeat what happened back then? Do you think I'm stupid? You think I'd fall for your tricks again after being fooled once?"
Lin Wan smiled and shook her head.
Ying Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next time, Lin Wan said with a hint of schadenfreude, "She will be your future stepmother."
The air in the corridor seemed to freeze instantly, falling silent as everyone stared at Lin Wan in disbelief.
How is that possible? How old is she? Her grandfather could be her grandfather.
No, no, how could their old man be the kind of person who would do such a thing?
"Impossible, you're lying!" Gao Lianzhou was the first to jump up and shout.
