"Yes, Master Lie."
Jiang Lie asked, "How's the matter with Dongfang Yelei going?"
"The matter has been resolved, and the Dongfang family should receive the news soon."
Jiang Lie gave a nonchalant "hmm".
...
Inside the hospital.
While Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize were receiving treatment, their cell phones suddenly rang.
Dongfang Tinglan reached out and took the phone. When she saw the number on the screen, she couldn't help but frown.
Meanwhile, Gong Beize looked at Dongfang Tinglan and, noticing her expression, suddenly asked, "Whose call was that?"
Dongfang Tinglan looked at him and said, "It's Xue'er. It's better if we don't accept the call given our situation. If she finds out about our situation, she'll worry again."
Gong Beize said, "Not answering will only make her more worried. Besides, if Xue'er has any doubts, she has people in Lancheng who can easily find out by asking. It's better to answer. If she guesses it, she can just admit it. If not, that's best."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan thought about it and realized it made sense. So, after the phone rang for a long time, she pressed the answer button.
"Mom, what are you busy with? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Jian Yixue asked, lying in bed as she made the call.
Dongfang Tinglan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Why did you suddenly call back? Is there any new situation with Yi'er?"
Jian Yixue said, "Yes, we've contacted him. He's been rescued and is safe. He'll come back on his own once he's recovered. Mo Han and I have decided to return tomorrow. My cousin's confidant, Chen Ran, will stay here to meet him."
Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan frowned and asked, "Why wait until the injury heals? Wouldn't it be better to come back and recuperate now?"
Jian Yixue smiled and said, "With such a beautiful woman by his side, how could he possibly remember us?"
"What?" Dongfang Tinglan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's nothing, Mom. You'll probably have to prepare a big red envelope when my cousin comes back."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she realized what she meant and asked in surprise, "You mean Yi'er has met someone he likes?"
"I think so, because I heard a girl's voice on my cousin's phone."
Now, Dongfang Tinglan understood Jian Yixue's meaning perfectly.
"You really are a shrewd little devil."
Jian Yixue said dismissively, "Mom, don't you want to see my cousin get married?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan said, "Think about it. Your maternal grandparents are not young anymore. If they can see him meet his true love before they die, and if they can have a great-grandchild, they will have no regrets in this life."
And she was the same way, so that her elder brother and sister-in-law could rest in peace in the afterlife.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Dongfang Tinglan panicked for a moment, then quickly said, "Xue'er, I have something to do here, I'll hang up now, you should get some rest."
Jian Yixue naturally heard the knocking and agreed without suspicion.
"Okay, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Tinglan felt somewhat guilty.
Seeing this, Gong Beize smiled. Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan glared at him before speaking to the person at the door, "Please come in."
Then a nurse came in and removed the oxygen tubes from the two of them.
It was already late at night when the two of them left the hospital.
Under the cover of night, Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize returned to the Dongfang family.
Perhaps they all returned a little late, because apart from the light that had been left on for them in the living room, the rest of the place was pitch black and quiet.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan and the other person returned to their room, took a bath, and went to sleep.
The two hadn't been asleep for long when they were woken up by a commotion at the front door.
The knocking sounded especially loud in the dead of night.
Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize were both woken up at the same time. Dongfang Tinglan was about to get up to see what was going on when Gong Beize stopped him and said, "I'll go see."
Dongfang Tinglan thought of something, shook her head and said, "Let's go together. Such a loud noise must have woken up Mom and Dad. And knocking on the door at this hour must mean something urgent has happened."
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize went out wearing pajamas and coats.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Mr. Dongfang and his wife, who had also been woken up, with Aunt Hui standing beside them, supporting the old lady.
Dongfang Tinglan quickly stepped forward and took the old man's arm, saying with concern, "It's too late, Mom and Dad. You should go inside and get dressed before coming out. Beize and I will go and take a look first."
Perhaps because they were in a hurry to come out, the two elders were also wearing thin pajamas and coats.
It's not a problem for them because they are young, but the two elders have only just recovered and are not young to begin with. If they catch a cold, they will probably suffer again.
Upon hearing this, the two elders nodded and returned to their room.
After dealing with all of this, Gong Beize and Dongfang Tinglan opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Dongfang Tinglan saw Dongfang Die and her daughter, who had obviously just gotten up.
Both sides were taken aback upon meeting.
Then it was Dongfang Die's mother, Dongfang Yelei's wife Tong Shuirong, who reacted first and spoke in disbelief.
"Little sister? You're back?"
This is not her fault. Dongfang Yelei never told her any of these things, and she only found out now that Dongfang Tinglan has returned.
Dongfang Tinglan stepped forward and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I'm back, Second Sister-in-law."
Dongfang Tinglan didn't dislike Tong Shuirong at all; the two of them were simply from different spiritual worlds.
She knew Tong Shuirong's personality; she was always timid and submissive, completely like a housewife, just like a lady from an ancient noble family, without any of the independence of modern women.
However, she also knew very well that only such a person could better maintain the stability of the Dongfang family, and that her parents must have had this purpose in arranging this marriage.
After all, Dongfang Yelei was the second son, and the expectation he had from childhood was to assist his eldest brother, so he didn't need an ambitious wife to stir up trouble in the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Tong Shuirong, who seemed a little dazed, and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, what brings you here to see Mom and Dad so late?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Shuirong immediately realized what was happening and burst into tears, saying, "Little sister, something has happened to your second brother."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan frowned and quickly invited the two into the house. At this moment, Old Master Dongfang and Old Madam Dongfang had already dressed and come out.
After everyone was seated, Dongfang Tinglan finally spoke, "Second sister-in-law, tell me what exactly happened."
Tong Shuirong was still crying uncontrollably. Seeing this, Dongfang Die stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, my father may be dead."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Dongfang could hardly believe what he had just heard.
She suddenly stood up and demanded, "What did you say?"
Dongfang Die wasn't very sad; on the contrary, she seemed to feel a sense of relief.
