"They've offered this much!"
When Du Wenqing saw Xia Lan smile, he stretched out his hand and showed her a number. Xia Lan looked at him in surprise.
"How many?"
Xia Lan was somewhat stunned.
"Why would I lie to you? Old Yang offered this amount, and Old Xu offered this amount; the two of them are almost fighting."
Du Wenqing said smugly.
"But I didn't agree!"
Xia Lan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the "praise me" look on Du Wenqing's face.
"Absolutely! This is a real treasure!"
After praising him, Xia Lan told him to go to bed quickly.
"Alright, hurry up and wash your feet and go to bed to rest."
"I can usually read the newspaper for a while longer..."
Du Wenqing glanced at Xia Lan. He never usually went to bed this early; he could always read the newspaper or a book later…
However, his persistence was gradually submerged under Xia Lan's gaze.
Xia Lan brought Du Wenqing some water to wash his feet, and after watching him finish washing them, she urged him to go to bed quickly.
"You read the newspaper, then a book, and before you know it, several hours have passed, right?"
As soon as Xia Lan said that, Du Wenqing thought that Xia Lan had eyes left on him, otherwise how could she know so clearly?
"Did you hire someone to spy on me? Or did they tell you?"
Du Wenqing's words earned him a glare from Xia Lan.
"Come on! This isn't the first or second time you've done this; Brother Yu told me about it!"
Xia Lan slapped his hand as punishment.
"Go to sleep!"
Xia Lan stared at Du Wenqing, who was like a rebellious little boy, making it very difficult to get him to sleep.
"I'm thirsty..."
"I need to use the restroom."
"I……"
"If you keep dawdling, I'm staying here tonight!"
Xia Lan narrowed her eyes dangerously, and Du Wenqing sighed before resignedly closing his eyes to sleep.
Du Wenqing had only closed his eyes for a short while when he fell asleep.
Xia Lan looked at him and realized he was just like Tuan Tuan, who was clearly very tired but still forced himself to stay awake.
But once he closes his eyes, his body is much stronger than his will to not sleep, and he can fall into a deep sleep in no time.
When Xia Lan came out of Du Wenqing's room, the two of them immediately came to greet her.
"He hasn't been sleeping well for the past two months, his complexion has been getting worse, and he occasionally experiences chest pain."
"No matter what we did to persuade him, it was no use..."
The two complained to Xia Lan.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Has anything else happened recently?
Xia Lan asked, "There must be some reason for this."
“Because his son-in-law fell from grace, his daughter… complained that he didn’t help his son-in-law, and she’s come to argue with him several times.”
Seeing that it was Xia Lan who asked, the two finally opened their mouths to tell her.
If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't say it.
"Oh, it's her..."
Xia Lan shook her head. Her daughter, who was being manipulated by PUA, was still not done with it.
"Don't let her in and bother Old Master Du. If there's anything, let her communicate with me."
Xia Lan asserted, "Judging from Du Wenqing's current state, Du Juan must have played a part in it."
To that clueless woman, Xia Lan could only say: stay away from women who are obsessed with love.
It's impossible to bring her back to her senses.
Especially for those with such a deep-seated obsession with love, it's already a terminal case of brain cancer, beyond saving.
The two nodded in agreement.
The two grown men, listening to what she was saying, both wanted to open her head and see what was inside.
Early the next morning
Xia Lan went to Du Wenqing's place. Du Wenqing had not yet gotten up, so Xia Lan went up to wake him.
"Old Du is up!"
Xia Lan gently shook Du Wenqing, but sensed that something was clearly wrong with him.
"Come quick! Grandpa Du is acting strangely!"
Xia Lan shouted, attracting two people who immediately ran over.
Xia Lan drew back the curtains and saw clearly that Du Wenqing was clutching his heart, looking as if he was in great pain.
"Quick! Carry him like this and get him to the hospital right away!"
Xia Lan made a quick decision and had the two men carry Du Wenqing, blanket and all, to the hospital.
"Walk!"
The two carefully lifted Du Wenqing up, one carrying her from the front and the other from the back.
"Be careful not to bounce, keep your balance."
Xia Lan chased after them, shouting.
Xia Lan couldn't run as fast as the two of them. She closed the door and hailed a tricycle to take her to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Du Wenqing had already been taken to the emergency room.
"How is the situation?"
Xia Lan, panting, asked the two of them.
"The doctor just said they suspect it's a heart condition."
When the two saw Xia Lan, they were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
The doctor said that if he had been brought in any later, he might not have survived.
If Xia Lan hadn't discovered it, they might have made a huge mistake.
Xia Lan listened to their conversation and glanced at the emergency room.
"Go and inform Du Juan and Zhang Qiu!"
Xia Lan glanced at the two of them. Although she didn't want to see Du Juan either, she was Du Wenqing's daughter after all, and she hoped that Du Juan would come to her senses when she heard that Du Wenqing was sick.
"……OK."
One person glanced at the emergency room and nodded.
Xia Lan also called Xiao Yuqin to tell her about Du Wenqing's situation. Xiao Yuqin didn't expect Du Wenqing's condition to be so serious.
They brought Tuantuan and Yuanyuan to the hospital.
"What happened? How could he suddenly have a heart attack?"
"She was fine last night."
