Chapter 520 Old Master Wen Threatens Suicide
"Jingxi, how outrageous is that? How could our Song girl be a mercenary? Do you think I don't know you? If Song girl were really a mercenary, why would you be with her!"
Wen Jingxi pursed his lips, looking at Old Master Wen, unable to utter a rebuttal for a moment.
When Old Master Wen saw his expression, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Jingxi, why aren't you saying anything?"
Wen Jingxi forced a smile. "Grandpa, don't overthink it. These days, scammers can find information through various means. Ayin used to work for a security company, but she's not doing that anymore. Don't worry about it."
"You're not doing this right..." Old Master Wen sized up Wen Jingxi.
Wen Jingxi felt really guilty, and his eyes instinctively darted away.
Grandpa Wen clearly saw this one-second dodge.
The old man's nerves suddenly tightened. "Wen Jingxi, don't tell me you actually knew all along!"
"grandfather……"
"So, Song girl really is a mercenary?" Old Master Wen's lips trembled slightly. "Answer me!"
Wen Jingxi: "Grandpa, I can explain this..."
"Just tell me, is Song a mercenary or not!" Old Master Wen roared. "I want you to tell the truth!"
"Grandpa, please don't overthink it. Ayin is my wife now, and she's planning to open a martial arts school in Beicheng..."
"Don't change the subject!" Old Master Wen glared at him. "You're still trying to deceive me! Fine, since you say she isn't, then swear on my life, do you dare?"
Wen Jingxi: "..."
That moment of silence had already given the old man the answer.
He couldn't believe it and slapped Wen Jingxi across the face. "I don't expect you to find someone from a similar social class, but how could you choose a mercenary? How could our Wen family have given birth to such a fool! Do you know who mercenaries are? Do you know how many lives she has on her hands? You really..."
Wen Jingxi accepted the slap.
He repeatedly rejected Song Lanyin because he knew his grandfather wouldn't accept Song Lanyin's past.
He also had a preconceived prejudice against Song Lanyin because of her past as a mercenary, but after getting to know her, he realized that Song Lanyin had no choice in the matter. Moreover, she had left the organization for many years and was now planning to quit.
Wen Jingxi felt that Song Lanyin had already made changes, and the past should not become a stumbling block for Song Lanyin to pursue a better future.
He thought that if he could accept Song Lanyin, then his family should be able to as well.
"If our ancestors knew you had married a mercenary, they would curse you in their dreams in the middle of the night!"
Wen Jingxi explained, "Grandpa, Ayin isn't what you think. Although she was a special agent, she had no choice. She was adopted from an orphanage, taken abroad, and sold to an organization. Once she arrived abroad, she had no choice."
As he spoke, Wen Jingxi knelt down directly in front of the old man.
He looked at Grandpa Wen and pleaded, "Grandpa, you've met her, you should know she's not a bad person at all. She accepted training and missions from the organization just to survive. Grandpa, she's suffered a lot, and now things are finally getting better. I beg you, don't deny her goodness just because she was a mercenary."
"What kind of behavior is this?!" Old Master Wen roared, "You're kneeling before me for a mercenary?! Wen Jingxi, is this how I raised you?! Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
"Grandpa, it's really not what you think. Ayin is different. She's different from other mercenaries..."
"Shut up!" Old Master Wen clutched his chest, his face pale. "You, you divorce her immediately! Our Wen family has been patriots for generations. I don't expect you to marry someone outstanding, but at least... at least you can't marry a mercenary. She might not be breaking the law abroad, but in China, she's a criminal..."
“No, she’s not anymore!” Wen Jingxi said, “Grandpa, Ayin isn’t a bad person. After she left the organization, she also cooperated with anti-drug heroes in China. In the past, when some countries were at war, she volunteered to participate in evacuation operations. Grandpa, you can’t deny Ayin just because of the word ‘mercenary’!”
Grandpa Wen pointed at Wen Jingxi's nose, wanting to say something, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He clutched his chest, his expression pained.
"Grandpa!" Wen Jingxi was startled by the old man's appearance. "What's wrong? Grandpa, don't scare me. Calm down, I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more, please don't be angry, Uncle Wang!"
"It's here!" Uncle Wang opened the medicine jar. "The old man is suffering from a sudden heart attack. This is a quick-acting heart medicine; give it to him immediately!"
Wen Jingxi took the medicine and gave it to Old Master Wen.
Grandpa Wen lay slumped on the sofa, his face pale and his breathing labored.
His lips were purple, and although the throbbing pain in his chest wasn't as intense as before, it was still a dull ache.
Seeing that the old man was in a better mood and his condition had stabilized a lot these past few days, the private doctor took the day off this morning to go and meet up with a friend in Beicheng.
Uncle Wang called his private doctor, who, after inquiring about the old man's symptoms, said seriously, "These are early signs of a heart attack. Get him to the hospital immediately. I'm on my way there now."
"Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Uncle Wang looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "Dr. Sun said that the old man might be experiencing a heart attack, and he told us to take him to the hospital immediately. He's on his way there now!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxi dared not delay any longer and immediately carried Old Master Wen on his back and strode towards the door.
Uncle Wang was supporting the old man from behind.
Wen Jingxi put Grandpa Wen in the back seat. "Uncle Wang, you come too. Please take care of Grandpa on the way."
"Okay!" Uncle Wang climbed into the back seat and sat down next to Grandpa Wen.
Wen Jingxi started the car and quickly drove away from Yungui.
On the way, Wen Jingxi called Qin Yancheng to explain the situation of Old Master Wen.
Qin Yancheng immediately arranged for medical staff to wait at the emergency room entrance to receive patients.
Wen Jingxi then called his parents to tell them to come to the hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen were picking out seafood at the fresh market when they heard that the old man had suddenly suffered a heart attack and needed emergency treatment. They immediately rushed to the hospital.
...
VIP ward in the hospital.
After diagnosis, it was determined that Mr. Wen was experiencing a precursor to a heart attack and needed to be hospitalized for medication and close observation.
When Wen Jingxi returned to the VIP ward after completing the hospitalization and surgery procedures, his parents had already arrived.
Grandpa Wen lay in the hospital bed and fell asleep after taking his medication.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen stayed in the ward, and Dr. Sun had just arrived.
In the ward, Dr. Sun, Qin Yancheng, and the chief specialist of the cardiovascular department were discussing the old man's condition.
"Actually, the old man should have had surgery a long time ago. I suggest you call a cardiac surgeon for a consultation. He's getting old, so it's best to have surgery as soon as possible. He was lucky this time, but it's hard to say what will happen next time."
"Then let's arrange the surgery!" Mr. Wen said. "I'm the son, I can make the decision!"
Qin Yancheng nodded, "Then I will immediately convene several expert directors from the Department of Cardiac Surgery for a consultation this afternoon to confirm the surgical plan as soon as possible..."
"I won't have surgery."
Upon hearing this, everyone paused and turned their gaze to Old Master Wen on the hospital bed.
Old Master Wen slowly opened his eyes, staring intently at Wen Jingxi. He spoke, his voice weak but stubborn: "Unless you divorce her, I will never have the surgery."
"Grandpa!" Wen Jingxi's eyes were red and his heart was filled with extreme pain: "How could you threaten me with your life to get a divorce? This is not fair to me and Ayin!"
"I don't care..." Old Master Wen's eyes were half-closed, devoid of any light, and somewhat obstinate. "Our Wen family has been upright and honest for generations, and we absolutely cannot accept someone like her into our Wen family."
