"What could possibly happen?" The Lin Group employee said dismissively. "Let's focus on ourselves. We'll be busy once we get to Australia!"
"Yeah, let's get hyped!"
Lin Zhibai did not appear all night.
Two more days passed.
Gu Fanyan will board the plane tomorrow morning.
She did nothing but sit at the table, staring blankly at her phone.
She knew she shouldn't have any expectations.
But I just couldn't take my eyes off it.
"Are you waiting for Lin Zhibai's call?" Gu's mother's voice suddenly broke through her thoughts.
She snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said one thing but meant another.
Gu's mother came over and sighed softly, "Why don't you go to the hospital to see your Uncle Lin? I heard his condition is very dangerous."
Gu Fanyan was taken aback in surprise: "Uncle Lin?"
Mother Gu nodded: "The Lin family kept the news from the outside world, but they were afraid that your Uncle Lin wouldn't make it and that the Lin family's relatives would cause trouble, so they sent someone to secretly tell a few of our families."
"It's not a good time for your dad and me to go to the hospital. You should go quietly instead."
"Mom..." Gu Fanyan couldn't believe it and almost burst into tears.
In her memory, Uncle Lin has always been a middle-aged man full of energy!
She got into the car, her hands gripping the steering wheel trembling uncontrollably.
She took several deep breaths to calm herself before rushing to the hospital.
When they were near the hospital intersection, Yun Suiwan suddenly called her.
She answered the phone, and for some reason, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"Wanwan..."
"Sister Fanyan..." Yun Suiwan's voice also choked up; she too found it hard to accept this fact.
“Sister Fanyan,” she said, but she still cheered herself up, “You’re coming to the hospital, right? Take a taxi here later, there are a lot of paparazzi at the hospital entrance.”
“They recognize the Gu family’s cars and will make a big fuss about these clues.”
No wall is completely airtight.
Such a big event, the paparazzi came running as soon as they heard the news.
Gu Fanyan did as instructed, and only went upstairs alone after taking the car all the way to the outside of the hospital building.
She couldn't find Yun Suiwan in the corridor and was about to send a message when the sound of arguing coming from the ward ahead caught her attention.
"With so many projects at the Lin family, and such a large amount of money coming in and going out every day, can Zhibai handle it all by himself?"
"The Lin family doesn't just belong to your family. Our eldest brother has fallen, but we still need to eat and support our workers!"
"I have no objection to Zhi Bai acting as chairman, but we must select a few experienced members of the Lin family to make the decision together!"
The ward was chaotic and crowded with people.
No one noticed that Gu Fanyan had appeared at the door.
Gu Fanyan saw Lin Zhibai standing among a group of uncles and elders, looking so helpless and sad.
Her heart clenched, and a pain spread through her chest.
She wanted to go forward to help him, but she was also keenly aware that it would be pointless for her to do so.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Lin Zhibai turned and looked towards the door.
Gu Fanyan immediately took a step back and dodged.
Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue arrived over here.
Gu Fanyan immediately went to meet him, "Wanwan, Dongjue, only you two can help him now."
Lu Dongjue understood the situation. He nodded and strode into the ward.
Yun Suiwan gave Gu Fanyan a reassuring look and went inside as well.
"Lin Zhibai will act as chairman, and all cooperation between the Lu family and the Lin family will continue as before," Lu Dongjue's straightforward voice rang out. "If the Lin family has any disagreements, the Lu family will have no choice but to temporarily suspend all cooperation in order to protect itself."
Yun Suiwan's voice followed: "The Yun family also agrees. I just spoke with President Gu and President Shen on the phone, and they share the same opinion."
Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes and tears fell as she quickly left.
She left the hospital, unsure of where to go, and sat down at a nearby coffee shop.
"Madam, your coffee." Suddenly, the waiter brought over two cups of coffee.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, Yun Suiwan sat down in front of her.
"Wanwan." Her heart warmed.
"Don't worry, everything has been resolved," Yun Suiwan comforted her.
She nodded, "With you and Dongjue working together, there will definitely be no problem."
Yun Suiwan asked, "Are you boarding a plane tomorrow?"
She nodded again.
"How long will you be gone?"
"I originally planned to come back after a year and a half, but now I want to finish the project before I return."
Yun Suiwan sighed softly, "Given Lin Zhibai's current condition, he definitely can't go."
"I see."
"Sister Fanyan..."
Gu Fanyan shook her head. "Wanwan, there is a connection between people. My connection with him may have ended, or it may not have come yet."
"Sister Fanyan, are you really not planning to stay by his side?"
"These two years will definitely be the most difficult time for Lin Zhibai."
Gu Fanyan shook her head again: "Weren't these past two years the most difficult time for me?"
"Actually, it would be better if we both calmed down. If we meet again, we will know whether the other person is the one we want."
She was determined to leave.
The flight is at 11 a.m.
At 8:30, Gu Fanyan prepared to leave home.
Mr. Gu deliberately did not go to the company on time, but stayed behind and accompanied Mrs. Gu to the car.
Although Gu's mother's expression was calm, the sadness in her eyes was evident. "Daughter, my savings are enough for you to live on for a lifetime. Why do you have to work so hard and go so far away to make a living?"
She couldn't help but say it.
Gu Fanyan smiled and hugged her mother tightly: "Mom, I don't want to be a parasite."
Then, she hugged her father, "Dad, I originally wanted Mom to come with me, but considering you wouldn't want to leave her, I can only go alone."
"You must take good care of Mom, or I'll take her away in a heartbeat."
Father Gu smiled lovingly: "After I retire in a few years, my wife and I will live with you."
Gu Fanyan really hoped that day would come soon, so that she would be able to take care of her parents.
The couple stood at the door watching their daughter's car drive away, not turning around for a long time.
Upon arriving at the airport, a long queue had already formed at the security checkpoint.
The driver checked her luggage in.
The rest of the team arrived one after another.
She went to the restroom and came back at the very back of the long security check line.
I couldn't help but turn around and take a look.
She was slightly stunned by that glance.
A familiar figure appeared.
He was walking towards her.
"Young Master Lin is here!"
"Is Young Master Lin coming to leave together?"
"Why is Young Master Lin alone? Where are his people from his company?"
"I heard their flight is at 5 pm, why is Young Master Lin here so early?"
Lin Zhibai approached Gu Fanyan, "Sister Fanyan..."
He looked haggard, with a stubble beard and bloodshot eyes.
Lin's father's surgery went relatively smoothly, but he has not yet woken up.
His appointment as acting director is temporarily settled, but who can guarantee that this is not just a temporary respite?
He opened his mouth, his lips trembling uncontrollably, but he had to say it, "Sister Fanyan, I'm sorry, I... can't go with you."
