After scolding Lu Yi, Fan Huijun released Liang Shiyue from her arms.
For a moment, she didn't know where to put her hands, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "Xiaoyue, you've really suffered!"
That day, after returning to Jiangzhou, she and Gu Huaibei went back to the Gu family home. That night, the child suddenly developed a high fever.
Although she is a doctor, she is first and foremost a mother.
Seeing her child crying incessantly, his face flushed sickly from the fever, she panicked.
Gu Keke's condition fluctuated, casting a heavy shadow over the Gu family.
When the child made such a fuss again, Gu Yan sat up in shock in bed and almost fell headfirst onto the floor.
"Take him to the hospital."
Gu Huaibei stayed up late in his study, just getting through the documents he had to sort out, when he heard his child's heart-wrenching cries and rushed into the nursery.
Fan Huijun was worried about Liang Shiyue, but she couldn't worry about that at the moment.
Gu Huaibei instructed the housekeeper and nanny to wake Gu Huainan to take care of the elderly and young at home, and then drove the child and Fan Huijun to the hospital.
After a round of checks, the child, exhausted, sobbed himself to sleep.
Fan Huijun was under constant tension and was starting to feel the strain.
I stubbornly kept my eyes open, trying to endure the pain as if I were dying.
Gu Huaibei was very annoyed to see her holding the child in one arm and constantly looking at her phone with the other.
"Lu Yi is an adult now, can you please stop interfering in his affairs?"
Fan Huijun glared at him angrily, "She's my brother, no matter how old she is, she's still my brother. Besides, Xiaoyue met me before she disappeared!"
The child trembled in fright at the argument and whimpered in discomfort, which made Gu Huaibei even angrier.
"Lu Yi is my Gu family's prospective son-in-law. Don't think I don't know you've been pushing him and his ex-girlfriend together behind the scenes. Is it so hard to consider my and Dad's feelings?"
Recently, Gu Huainan has started to take over the company's affairs, but he really doesn't have Lu Yi's talent.
He left the company in a mess after a week of neglect.
The older shareholders, in particular, disapproved of Gu Huainan's behavior and harbored considerable resentment towards him.
Since Gu Huaibei doesn't usually show his face, they can only turn a blind eye.
During the few days that Gu Huainan accompanied Keke on her overseas medical check-up, Gu Huaibei went to the company because of a document.
They were surrounded for most of the day when they arrived.
Forced to go to the conference room, I called a meeting and only then did I realize how dogmatic and outrageous Gu Huainan's management style was.
Because of Coco's illness, he didn't tell anyone.
One person has to both get along well with the new colleagues and also keep up with Gu Huainan's messes.
But then he saw that his wife couldn't even take care of their child properly and was distracted by other things.
No wonder he was annoyed!
"How could I not have considered it? If it weren't for Coco's illness, would I have gone to see Xiaoyue?"
"If I hadn't seen her, perhaps she wouldn't have gotten into trouble!"
Fan Huijun also felt wronged.
The Gu family only saw Lu Yi as a "lucky charm" for marriage, and the father agreed to the marriage because of Lu Yi's so-called support.
In the end, none of the three of them benefited.
These words left Gu Huaibei speechless.
Ultimately, what did the assets they used to exchange for Lu Yi mean to Lu Yi himself and the Fan family?
Fan Shenglun agreed simply because he wanted to provide his daughter, Fan Huijun, with more security.
Now it seems that she is the one who is most upset.
Gu Huaibei turned his back, leaned against the wall with both hands, sighed several times, and composed himself.
He went to the bedside, held Fan Huijun's shoulders, and gently shook her.
"Never mind, I've been in a bad mood lately, I shouldn't have said such harsh words... Here, you spend time with the child, I'll look into Xiaoyue's matter."
He couldn't refuse to back down, because he would need Lu Yi's help later.
A falling out with Fan Huijun would do the Gu family no good.
Fan Huijun shook off his hand, put her phone on the bedside table, hugged the child, closed her eyes, and ignored him.
Gu Huaibei heard the news of Xiaoyue's return only a few hours later than Lu Yi.
But seeing that the child's condition had just stabilized and that he was clinging to Fan Huijun all day, he gritted his teeth and kept quiet.
Fan Huijun was stunned for a long time after hearing the bad news about Liang Shiyue's mother. After inquiring about Lu Yi's whereabouts, she handed the child over to the nanny and rushed over without stopping.
"Sister Junjun, I'm fine now, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"
Liang Shiyue felt a lump in her throat, but seeing Fan Huijun's tired appearance, she still asked with concern.
"Sis, it doesn't really matter whether you know about this or not. Telling you is just to make you worry more..."
Lu Yi could tell she was in a bad mood from the moment she walked in.
It wasn't from sadness or fright, but rather the weariness and exhaustion that a married woman feels after going through such an ordeal.
"Don't speak!"
Fan Huijun glared at him.
He pulled Liang Shiyue to sit on the sofa and gently comforted her.
"It was all my sister's carelessness. If she had taken you home herself, this might not have happened..."
Seeing that she was sniffling and about to cry again, Lu Yi quickly said, "Luckily you didn't see her off, otherwise you would have been detained as well, and you might still be here!"
Fan Huijun took a deep breath and pointed to the door, "Get out!"
Lu Yi shrugged, and Liang Shiyue, seeing the siblings bickering like this, had a faint smile appear on her pale face.
Seeing this, Lu Yi raised his hands above his head, "Alright, alright, I'll go out and make room for you..."
After finishing his phone call, Huo Jingxi limped down the corridor and saw Lu Yi standing by the window with a cold gaze.
As he approached, he heard the girls talking in the ward and grinned slyly.
"I'm sorry, your sister kept asking, so I had to tell her you were here."
In his opinion, saying that Lu Yi was in the hospital was better than saying that he was chasing the criminal alone.
"I'm fine. How are you?"
Lu Yi withdrew his gaze and looked him up and down.
Huo Jingxi lifted his leg, which was fitted with a prosthesis, and said, "It's a little deformed. I'll have Dr. Min adjust it after I'm discharged from the hospital."
Lu Yi looked apologetic. "Let's get a new one. It's a new product developed by the Fan family. You might want to give it a try."
"Don't get involved in dangerous things like this in the future... I'll handle it myself."
Huo Jingxi clicked his tongue.
Standing side by side with him.
Lu Baofei just called him, asking him to persuade Lu Yi to be more magnanimous.
Huo Jingxi got angry as soon as he heard this and started cursing at her.
This time, Lu Baofei did not argue.
Hearing that Huo Jingxi had stopped talking, he said guiltily, "Master Hong and He Mingbo were involved in drugs and used the Lu family's trade channels to transport them. My father definitely didn't know about it."
"As for Lu Han, he has just entered society and hasn't even finished his studies. How could he possibly help them do something that could cost them their lives?"
"Huo Jingxi, I've never asked you for anything. Can I exchange all my shares in Huo's Group for your help just this once?"
She was desperate.
Upon returning home and seeing the villa in such a mess, Qin Fengying collapsed to the ground.
If she doesn't find a way out for the Lu family, the family might really fall apart as the rumors say, and the Lu Group will be wiped off the stock market and cease to exist.
