The Huo family.
Huo Xiting had just finished showering and was standing in front of the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, wrapped in a large white bathrobe. His handsome, pale face exuded an inexplicable coldness.
"Mr. Huo, everything has been taken care of."
Huo Xiting closed his eyes, a cold glint in them. "I never expected that he still wouldn't be willing to divorce Yao Yao."
When Wenqing first learned of this news, she was also somewhat surprised.
"Yu Chiyan's attitude toward Miss Su is indeed very strange."
Huo Xiting smiled, his voice carrying a cool undertone.
"By the way, Mr. Huo, I've discovered that someone is investigating your background."
Huo Xiting narrowed his eyes; "Who?"
Wen Qing's expression was somewhat solemn; "It's Chu Ling."
Chu Ling, the captain of the criminal investigation team.
Huo Xiting's face revealed a half-smile; "Him, this is quite interesting."
Wen Qing was somewhat worried; "Chu Ling is an expert in this area, and I suspect that he may have already found some clues."
A chill settled in Huo Xiting's eyes.
From this perspective, Chu Ling is indeed a problem.
...
When Huo Xiting arrived at the hospital, he saw that Madam Yu was lying peacefully in bed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He frowned at Jiang Chen; "What's going on?"
Jiang Chen was embarrassed; he didn't know what was going on either!
Madam Yu glanced at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Chi Yan? Is something the matter?"
Yu Chiyan said with a blank face, "The hospital just called to say you fainted."
Madam Yu was taken aback, then laughed; "Oh, it wasn't me, it was Qingqing."
Yu Chiyan paused slightly, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Madam Yu sighed. "Qingqing has been taking care of me these past few days. She insists on doing everything herself, saying she doesn't trust anyone else to do it. As a result, she's made herself sick. Chi Yan, remember to go see her later."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Chiyan's eyes. Su Qingqing had actually exhausted herself to the point of fainting because of her grandmother?
Seeing Yu Chiyan's expression, Old Madam Yu didn't think much of it and said seriously.
“I’ve thought it through these past few days. My health isn’t what it used to be, and I’m afraid I don’t have many days left. Chi Yan, if it’s really impossible for you and Yao Yao, and you still insist on marrying Qing Qing, then I won’t object.”
Yu Chiyan looked helpless. "Grandma, don't say that. You're in good health."
Madam Yu lay on the bed and gently patted Yu Chiyan's hand.
“Chi Yan, I know my own body. These days, I feel my body is getting weaker and weaker. I was prejudiced against Su Qingqing from the beginning, thinking that her family was no good. But these past few days I have also seen that Su Qingqing really likes you. She is also taking good care of me. She even got a lot of injuries on her hands while cooking for me. I have seen all of this.”
Yu Chiyan remained silent, simply listening quietly as Old Madam Yu continued.
"Chi Yan, I don't know how much longer I have. My only wish is to see you settle down and start a family. I was extremely satisfied when you and Yao Yao got together, but neither of you wanted to. I couldn't force you. Chi Yan, if you want to marry Su Qingqing, I'll accept it."
Yu Chiyan's breathing suddenly became heavier. He abruptly stood up and looked at the sickly old man on the bed.
"Grandma, you're in good health, you'll be fine. I have something to do, I'll go out for a bit."
After saying this, he left the ward quickly without waiting for the old lady's reaction.
Looking at the door that had been closed again, Old Madam Yu's expression was somewhat strange.
"Aunt Zhang, why do I feel like Chi Yan is unhappy now that I've agreed to let him marry Su Qingqing?"
Aunt Zhang smiled faintly: "Madam, how could that be? I think the young master is still very happy. He might be going to see Miss Su Qingqing now."
When Madam Yu heard this, she felt that there was some truth to it.
Instead of going to find Su Qingqing, Yu Chiyan went to Nan Jiangmu's studio.
"Grandma Yu's illness is a bit strange."
Yu Chiyan's expression turned slightly cold; "What's so strange about it?"
Nan Jiangmu frowned deeply; "The various tests showed that apart from her old heart condition which was a bit troublesome, Grandma Yu had no other problems, but her condition was very abnormal."
Yu Chiyan's eyes narrowed slightly; "What's your condition?"
Do you know how much sleep Grandma Yu gets each day?
Yu Chiyan gave him a cold glance; "Speak."
Nan Jiangmu coughed lightly before saying, "Grandma Yu has slept for at least thirteen hours a day. As people get older, they naturally need less sleep, but Grandma Yu sleeps for such a long time every day, yet she still feels weak all over and has no energy. The sickly look on her face is getting worse and worse."
The more Yu Chiyan listened, the more uneasy he became; "So what are you suspecting?"
Nan Jiangmu remained silent.
Madam Yu's current condition is definitely not normal, but the hospital can't find anything wrong with it.
Yu Chiyan rubbed his temples. "Never mind, I've invited top international experts. They'll arrive tomorrow. You can give Grandma a thorough check-up then."
After saying that, he asked again, "Where is Su Qingqing?"
Nan Jiangmu raised an eyebrow; "You're going to see her?"
Yu Chiyan nodded; "After all, she fainted from exhaustion while taking care of her grandmother."
"Okay, I'll take you there. I happen to have something to ask her."
...
Su Yaoyao's wrist was red and swollen, which meant that Jun Xian really intended to break her hand.
She happened to be passing by the hospital and thought she'd stop by to pick up some medicine, but by sheer coincidence, she ran into Su Qingqing.
