Xia Lan said to Du Juan with a gloomy face.
Those around Xia Lan, seeing her fiercely defending Du Wenqing, smiled slightly and tacitly turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
"you……"
Du Juan gritted her teeth, wanting to refute Xia Lan, but Zhang Qiu sighed heavily.
"Thank you for taking care of Grandpa. I'll take my mom and leave now."
Zhang Qiu and Xia Lan exchanged a glance, walked over to Du Juan, and forcibly dragged her out.
"How could you side with an outsider? I'm your mother!"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
Xia Lan glanced over coldly.
Zhang Qiu was slapped hard by Du Juan and gave her a cold look.
"If you weren't my mom..."
Du Juan was startled by the coldness in her daughter's eyes; there was no warmth left in them.
Zhang Qiu covered her face, coldly abandoned Du Juan, and left.
Du Juan watched her retreating figure and quickly followed.
"Qiu'er..."
Many people sighed and shook their heads because of Du Juan.
With a daughter like that, it's no wonder Du Wenqing got sick from the stress.
If it were them, they would all want to strangle her.
Having a daughter like that is worse than not having one at all.
After Du Juan left, Du Wenqing was wheeled out of the emergency room by a nurse and taken to a regular ward.
Fortunately, the person is still conscious and seems to be in good spirits.
Xia Lan did not go forward immediately, but let Xiao Guoqiang and others go forward to offer their condolences first. Only after they left did she walk to Du Wenqing's bedside.
Du Wenqing was talking to his old friends, and they all looked calm, except for being a little tired.
Now, facing Xia Lan, who remained expressionless, Du Wenqing's heart began to churn as he carefully observed her face.
"You told me yesterday to come to the hospital for a check-up, and here I am today."
Du Wenqing, trying to make conversation, glanced at Xia Lan and smiled ingratiatingly.
Xia Lan gave a cold laugh.
"hehe."
"Do you think you're funny?"
Du Wenqing was startled and quickly shook his head.
"No, no."
Why didn't you call out if you felt unwell?
Xia Lan frowned, somewhat annoyed.
The two men were right next door to Du Wenqing. As long as Du Wenqing called out, the two men would rush over.
But he endured it all himself. If she hadn't come over this morning, how dangerous would he have been?
"I...I was just thinking I could just bear it for a bit!"
"You'll come to take me to the hospital in the morning, so I can just bear the pain tonight..."
Du Wenqing hadn't expected his condition to be so serious, and answered guiltily.
He was used to bearing everything alone in his early years, and even when he was on the verge of death, he rarely complained.
Little did he know that he would eventually faint from the pain.
He almost thought he was going to die there.
Fortunately, Xia Lan arrived at that moment. Du Wenqing was still somewhat conscious, but he was no longer able to respond to Xia Lan.
During the rescue, his past memories flashed through his mind one by one.
He had been thinking that it would be better to just die like this, but then the images of Xia Lan and Qin Yu suddenly flashed through his mind. Even when he was at his lowest point, he hadn't given up.
There's no reason to give up now.
So he came back to life.
The first thing he did upon waking was to ask the doctor not to inform Du Juan about his condition.
He should have done that when she disowned him for the sake of her son-in-law.
The reason I'm alive now is because of Xia Lan.
I am alive because of Xia Lan.
"Do you even know what's wrong with you? Your heart! How can you think you can just tough it out..."
"You've read so many books and newspapers every day, don't you know that you should come to the hospital immediately if you have a heart condition?"
"you……"
Listening to Xia Lan's reprimand, Du Wenqing lowered his head and listened obediently, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Xia Lan lectured Du Wenqing for a long time, and he kept nodding obediently.
"I understand, I will never do it again."
Du Wenqing's good attitude in admitting his mistake calmed Xia Lan down considerably.
"It's because I was afraid of troubling you..."
Du Wenqing spoke his mind.
However, under Xia Lan's angry glare, Du Wenqing quickly changed his tune.
"I won't be afraid to trouble you in the future, I will definitely ask."
"Hmph, I'll call Brother Yu right now and have him teach you a lesson!"
Xia Lan glanced at Du Wenqing, and she felt that he hadn't remembered anything.
"No...he's not back yet, so let's not bother him."
Du Wenqing said humbly.
"Lanlan, is Grandpa Du alright?"
Xiao Yuqin peeked out of the ward door. Because there were too many people, she had sat in the garden outside for a while with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan. She came over after seeing that no one was around.
"Great-Grandpa, are you alright?"
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan walked to Du Wenqing's bedside and asked worriedly.
"You stay here and keep Great-Grandpa company while Mom and Grandma talk for a bit."
Xia Lan said to Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan.
"good!"
Tuan Tuan responded.
Xia Lan pulled Xiao Yuqin out of the ward and told her about Du Wenqing's current situation.
"That heart condition is serious! It's good you went there early this morning!"
After hearing the whole story, Xiao Yuqin sighed.
If Xia Lan had arrived any later, Du Wenqing probably wouldn't be here anymore.
I've heard that heart disease can be treated with medication now, so Du Wenqing can't afford to suffer any more mistreatment.
"Stay with Old Du these next few days. I'll bring you meals. Don't worry about the two children."
Xiao Yuqin patted Xia Lan, telling her to take good care of Du Wenqing.
