“A few days ago I was thinking of having the old lady go to the hospital for a check-up, but she refused. Yesterday her husband and wife came to visit, but she was in a bad mood and didn’t stay long before they were all turned away.”
Luo Qingyuan nodded. Aunt Xue had been with her grandmother for many years, and hearing Aunt Xue say this, she felt much more at ease.
"Please take good care of Grandma, Aunt Xue. Call me immediately if anything happens."
"As for not liking to take medicine, Grandma has never liked it, so I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to it."
Aunt Xue smiled with relief: "Don't worry, although the old lady doesn't say it, she still misses Miss very much. She's happy that you come often."
Luo Qingyuan replied with a smile, "I will come to see Grandma whenever I have time."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.
As soon as Aunt Xue entered the old lady's room, the old lady asked, "What did you say to that girl Qingyuan?"
"The young lady asked about your condition, and I told her the truth. She also told me to make sure you take your medicine properly."
As she spoke, Aunt Xue poured herself a glass of warm water and brought out a bunch of colorful medicines.
Zhang Shufen would get a headache as soon as she saw that medicine. In the past, she would always refuse to take it, and Aunt Xue would have to beg her to take a little bit before she would take it.
But today, the old lady looked at the medicines, closed her eyes, and said, "Hey, bring them over."
So, Aunt Xue saw that the old lady, for the first time ever, had taken all the medicine one by one.
She was prepared for it to take a lot of effort.
After much thought…
Aunt Xue attributed this unusual situation to Luo Qingyuan, since Luo Qingyuan had come to visit the old lady today.
After taking her medicine, the old lady looked at Aunt Xue and said, "Qingyuan and Duan Ye will be getting married after the New Year. I hope the wedding will proceed peacefully and smoothly."
Aunt Xue had been with the old lady for many years, and upon hearing this and seeing her expression, she knew what the old lady was implying.
So Aunt Xue nodded: "Don't worry, I understand what to say and what not to say to Miss."
"But Madam, you should listen to Miss and go to the hospital for a proper check-up..."
Zhang Shufen instinctively wanted to refuse, but then something inexplicably occurred to her, and she couldn't help but smile and say, "Fine, just make an appointment with the doctor for me, and I'll go tomorrow morning."
Aunt Xue was immediately delighted: "Yes! I'll make an appointment for you right away."
The night was calm and still, as if everyone was living their lives according to their original routines.
The next morning.
Zhang Shufen finished her examination on time and waited in the doctor's office, while Aunt Xue and the driver waited outside.
Zhang Shufen: "Dr. Li, you've been treating my illness for so many years, just tell me the truth, there's no need to hide anything."
"When you get to this age, there's nothing you can't accept."
Dr. Li looked at the old lady with a hint of sympathy: "Grandma, I won't hide it from you anymore, your Alzheimer's disease is indeed getting worse. If I may ask, have you been experiencing hallucinations lately?"
The old woman was startled, then remembered that she hadn't been able to sleep lately, and... kept seeing herself as a young person, her young classmates, and him as a young person...
The old lady answered frankly, "Indeed."
Doctor: "Your cognitive abilities have also declined, and most critically, various organs in your body are gradually..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, the old lady still had questions.
It means gradually declining and heading towards death.
The doctor gave a long list of precautions, but Zhang Shufen was too lazy to listen. She only asked one question: "Just tell me the truth, how much longer do I have to live?"
"It can take anywhere from a year to a few months."
Zhang Shufen: "Dr. Li, I hope our conversation today can be kept confidential."
"Madam, you should inform your family about this situation..."
"I am a patient, please respect my privacy."
If something happens to her, what will happen to Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye's wedding? Without her in charge of the Luo family, what will happen if their granddaughter is wronged?
With her around, whether it's the Duan family or the Luo family, no matter who is dissatisfied, they all have to swallow their words.
There's nothing wrong with it.
After leaving the hospital, Aunt Xue asked, "Grandma, what did the doctor say?"
Zhang Shufen: "It's the same old story, what else can I say? Let's go."
Seeing that the old lady didn't want to say anything more, Aunt Xue had no choice but to shut her mouth and tell the driver to drive back.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Suisui stopped Luo Qingyuan, who was about to leave: "President Luo, Miss Nanxing is here."
Luo Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "This is a rare guest. Please come in."
Cheng Suisui responded and brought Nanxing in.
Luo Qingyuan walked over with two cups of coffee, placing one of them opposite her on the sofa: "Sit down, it's freshly made, have a taste."
Nanxing moved slowly over with small steps, and finally sat down.
Luo Qingyuan: "How is your recovery going? Do you need any help?"
Nanxing shook her head and smiled politely: "No need, this is fine as it is. I can already take on some jobs that are not so physically demanding."
Luo Qingyuan: "Let the stunt doubles do the fight scenes and action scenes. Your recovery is the priority. If the crew needs anything, just tell your agent."
Halfway through her sentence, Luo Qingyuan suddenly stopped, a meaningful smile appearing on her exquisite and beautiful face: "Nanxing, what brings you here today?"
Nanxing then smiled somewhat nervously, but the smile looked rather stiff.
"I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."
