The crowd's expressions varied, and no one responded.
After a moment of silence, the old man in the main seat broke the silence: "Ah Lang is so meticulous, even you, her closest relatives, have no idea about her, let alone Ah Xuan, whom she intentionally wanted to keep quiet."
Ning Rui's eyes reddened, and he said gruffly, "Why is A Lang hiding this from us?! What's wrong... that she can't discuss with us?! She—she's gone too far!"
"Shut up! Why are you shouting like that!" Ning Qi hissed. "Auntie is grieving inside, and Uncle couldn't go to the provincial meeting; he even turned his car around and came back. Everyone's in a state of turmoil. What are you doing, adding to the chaos by yelling like that!"
Ning Rui pouted, roughly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and rushed out, "I'm going to help Ah Xuan look for her!"
The others also stood up one after another, bowed slightly and said, "Grandpa, let's go help look too."
“No need.” Ning Gu said slowly, “I know A Lang’s personality very well. Once that girl makes up her mind, not even ten oxen could pull her back. She’s not the kind of person who acts recklessly. She won’t hide unless it’s absolutely necessary. If she wants to hide from us, let her be.”
"Grandpa! But Ah Lang is sick!"
"Yes! No matter what, we must make sure she receives treatment as soon as possible!"
Having weathered countless storms throughout his life, Ning Gu, now in his twilight years, had long since seen through the illusions of life and death.
He sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "If she had a choice, would A-Lang have given up her life so easily? She did this because there was no way to change things. Once she has hidden herself enough and recovered enough, she will come back. Don't forget, this is her home, and we are her family."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes reddened.
Shan Jueshan cried her heart out, nestled in her husband's arms.
The old man got up with his cane, his back slightly bent, and walked step by step toward the side door. His back was hunched and his steps were unsteady. The old man seemed to have aged a lot in just one day.
...
Late at night, a cold wind was blowing and thick clouds were gathering.
The north wind howled and roared, and snowflakes began to fall from the night sky, bringing a chill to the air.
Outside a small villa in the suburbs, a minivan is parked quietly by the roadside.
Snowflakes fell one by one, quickly covering the van with a layer of pure white fur.
Sheng Xuan looked haggard in the car, his eyes bloodshot. He picked up a water bottle and took a sip. The icy feeling in his throat made him a little more awake.
He rubbed his hair and continued to stare at the villa's main entrance not far away.
Finally, a luxury car slowly drove up and came to a smooth stop at the entrance.
Soon, the people in the car wrapped their down jackets tighter, carefully looked around, then closed the car door and hurriedly went inside.
The next moment, the sound of a car door slamming shut came from the shadows, and a tall, strong figure rushed over and blocked the man's path!
Dan Jueyi's beautiful face froze slightly, then she frowned.
"Young Master Sheng, you've been waiting for me for days! Why are you doing this? I've already said that I really can't expose patients' privacy. I'm a doctor, and I can't disclose patients' conditions at will; it's my duty."
Sheng Xuan stood blocking the doorway, her words earnest: "Dean Shan, I know you're in a difficult position, but I really need to understand her condition. Please tell me the general situation, I beg you!"
"Give up!" Shan Jueyi said in a deep voice, "I won't tell you. You should go to her and let her tell you herself."
“No.” Sheng Xuan’s eyes trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, “She won’t tell me. I want to hear a professional doctor’s explanation.”
