Chen Xu was right next to them and happened to hear the sound coming from the phone. His first reaction was confusion. What was Luo Zhenghai doing?

Would a person like him have to pretend to be sick to threaten Luo Xiyun to break up with him?

He himself found the idea absurd.

Could it be that he really fell ill?

He couldn't help but think of the last time he left Luo's house with Xiyun, and heard Zhao Feiqian's panicked voice, which didn't seem to be fake. Maybe Luo Zhenghai's health was not good.

"I understand." Luo Xiyun said and hung up the phone.

She raised her head, took his hand and said, "It's nothing, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Chen Xu didn't move. He held her hand tightly and said, "Let's go to the hospital. After all, he is your father. He is in the hospital now and he must want you to go see him."

Luo Xiyun looked at him in surprise, and after a while, nodded gently.

Chen Xu could see that after she nodded, she felt relieved. He knew that he was right, she still had deep feelings for Luo Zhenghai.

In his heart, he had some grudges against Luo Zhenghai. But he knew that blood ties could not be severed. It was undoubtedly foolish to let his woman choose between her lover and her relatives.

No matter what he thought of Luo Zhenghai, at least in front of Luo Xiyun, he had to act more generous.

Even if his father-in-law had set a trap for him, he was not afraid at all. At most, he would just fight against the enemy with his own troops and block the water with earth.

In the previous dream, the most important thing he learned was that he should never run away from difficulties and challenges. The more he ran away, the more terrible the situation would be.

When you face them directly, you will find that these difficulties are nothing more than that.

"Let me take you there. I'll wait for you outside when we get to the hospital." Chen Xu said.

Luo Xiyun nodded and gave the name of the hospital.

Chen Xu used the navigation system to search for the hospital, which was not far away. Forty minutes later, they arrived.

As soon as they got off the car, a man in a black suit came over with a slightly respectful look, "Ms. Luo, Mr. Chen."

Luo Xiyun obviously knew the man and asked, "Which ward is he in?"

"Please follow me." The man led the way.

Luo Xiyun looked at Chen Xu with an inquiring look, and Chen Xu said, "Let's go and take a look together."

He really wanted to see whether Luo Zhenghai was really sick or was up to some other trick.

The hospital at night is particularly quiet.

Under the guidance of the man, Chen Xu and his companion passed the emergency department and outpatient department buildings and came to the inpatient department at the back.

Nothing unexpected happened until we went upstairs and arrived at the door of a ward.

"Mr. Luo is inside." said the man.

Luo Xiyun looked back at Chen Xu and said, "I'll go in and take a look."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Chen Xu gave her an encouraging smile.

After Luo Xiyun went in, Chen Xu saw the man also standing at the door. The two of them stared at each other, which was quite awkward, so they walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a balcony separated by a glass door. A man and a woman were standing at one end, smoking.

The man was a stranger, but the woman was someone he knew. She was Luo Zhenghai's second wife, Zhao Feiqian.

Although he could only see her profile, he recognized her at once. She was holding a long lady's cigarette in her hand, looking out of the balcony, with a cold aura. Her temperament was completely different from the last time she saw her at Luo's house.

For a moment, Chen Xu thought he had recognized the wrong person.

As if she noticed his gaze, Zhao Feiqian turned her head slightly and glanced at him with a rather cold look. Soon, she looked away and continued to look outside.

At this time, the man on the other side finished smoking, put out the cigarette butt, threw it into the bucket, opened the glass door, and left.

The man probably thought Chen Xu was going to the balcony, so he didn't close the glass door and left it open.

Chen Xu hesitated for a moment, and then went outside to the balcony. It seemed awkward to stay with her, but it also seemed a bit awkward to leave like this.

"After Lao Luo's parents passed away, he started to have some heart problems." Zhao Feiqian suddenly spoke, holding a cigarette in her hand, pressing her fingers on her forehead, and exhaling a stream of white smoke from her red lips.

There was a lamp on the top of the balcony. The wattage was not high and the light was slightly dim, which made the light and dark contrast of her profile particularly obvious, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Chen Xu looked at this woman who seemed like a different person and didn't know how to respond to her.

"Last time, after you and Xiyun left, he had a seizure."

At this point, she finally turned around and looked at him, "I don't know why Lao Luo has such a big opinion of you, and I don't want to know. I just want you to not appear in front of him again in the future."

Chen Xu finally walked through the glass door and onto the balcony. Without looking at her, he said, "I personally have no opinion about your husband. I feel sorry that he is sick and in the hospital."

"To be honest, if possible, I don't want to deal with people like you. Unfortunately, he is Xiyun's biological father after all. I think, no matter how much he dislikes me, he will have to face me, his son-in-law, for the rest of his life."

Zhao Feiqian stared at him with a cold look in her eyes and an even colder voice, "Old Luo will be considerate of his daughter and won't do anything to you. But you have to understand that Luo Xiyun is not my daughter."

Chen Xu frowned, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just reminding you to be more sensible." Zhao Feiqian put out the half-smoked cigarette against the wall, threw it into the trash can, turned and left the balcony.

Chen Xu did not say anything harsh because he knew it was meaningless and others would think he was showing weakness.

Everyone will have different reactions when their personal interests are involved. I didn't expect that Zhao Feiqian, who looked like a good wife and mother before, would have such a side.

Similarly, Zhao Feiqian certainly could not imagine how far he could go for Luo Xiyun.

The balcony was still filled with the smell of smoke.

He felt his mouth was dry, touched his pocket, and then remembered that he hadn't smoked for a long time. Thinking that Luo Xiyun might come out at any time, he gave up the idea of ​​going downstairs to buy cigarettes.

He looked back and saw that Zhao Feiqian was not in the corridor, and he didn't know whether she had entered the ward. Only the man was still guarding the door.

He walked over and met the other person's puzzled look and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

The man took out a bag of lotus flowers and a lighter from his pocket.

Chen Xu hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was not appropriate to light a cigarette in the ward area, so he took the cigarette and lighter and said, "Thanks." He walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

He looked out of the balcony, thinking silently. Because he was so absorbed in his thoughts, he completely ignored the footsteps behind him.

I don't know how long it took, but Luo Xiyun's voice sounded behind me, "Chen Xu."

He came back to his senses, put out his half-smoked cigarette, and asked, "Is he okay?"

Luo Xiyun shook his head and asked, "Why are you smoking?"

"Sometimes I smoke a little." Chen Xu saw her eyes were red and quickly changed the subject, "You seem a little angry, did he scold you?"

"No, it's another woman." Luo Xiyun frowned when he mentioned this woman. It didn't look like disgust, but more like fear and uneasiness.

Chen Xu subconsciously thought it was Zhao Feiqian, but then he felt that it was not likely and asked, "Is there anyone else in the ward?"

Just now when he was getting cigarettes from the man guarding the door, he couldn't hear anything. He could only say that the soundproofing in the ward here was too good.

"I didn't expect to run into her in the ward." She took a breath, grabbed his hand, and said, "I waited until she left before coming out."

After hearing her say that, Chen Xu knew that her feeling just now was correct. She was a little afraid of that woman, and even more strangely, "Is she your father's enemy? Then why did you let her into the ward?"

"Strictly speaking, she is a relative of ours. She is my uncle's wife."

"That's my aunt." Chen Xu said, with a look of realization on his face. He had already imagined in his mind a drama of wealthy brothers fighting for the family property.

Luo Xiyun knew he had misunderstood when he saw his expression, and said seriously, "It's not the kind of relationship you think. My uncle is dead."

"Oh." Chen Xu used his imagination again, "Could it be that she thinks her husband was killed by your father?"

Luo Xiyun shook his head. "Just after they got married, my uncle was paralyzed in a fight. He lay in bed for two years, and suddenly one day, he had a heart attack and died."

Chen Xu was slightly stunned. This script was completely different from what he had imagined.

"A year before my uncle died, my grandparents passed away one after another. After that, she naturally took control of my uncle's inheritance."

Chen Xu heard this, and he understood her implication. He felt a chill in his head. Such a woman is too scary. She has been married to the Luo family for only two years, and she has caused the death of so many people in the Luo family.

It's not surprising that Luo Zhenghai would be hostile to her.

Luo Xiyun said seriously, "In short, she is a very dangerous woman. If you meet her in the future, you must be very careful. It is best not to even talk to her."

Chen Xu felt that she had demonized that woman, and said with a smile, "Is it that exaggerated?"

Luo Xiyun frowned and said, "I still remember the first time I met her. She stood at the door, looking at me and smiling at me. My hair stood on end at that time, and I didn't dare to move. She didn't give me the feeling of a living person..."
