Chapter 285 Ms. Chen stops the plane
Compared to his grandfather, Xiahou Xi obviously cares more about his grandmother Chen Shan. In the entire Xiahou family, no one cares too much about Xiahou Yi. After all, apart from loving himself, Xiahou Yi has caused harm to everyone else. Even Xiahou Yi's biological father was angered to death by him.
As the daughter-in-law of the Xiahou family, Chen Shan was the heir apparent. Xiahou Yi hated her immensely, but there was nothing he could do. He had been oppressed by Chen Shan for so many years. Xiahou Xi couldn't imagine what would happen if his grandmother passed away. Even if his father took control of the company, his grandfather would still hold 20% of the shares. If someone with ulterior motives came along, there would be problems...
After finding a quiet place, Xia Houxi called his grandmother Chen Shan directly, but the call was not connected. This made Xia Houxi inexplicably more nervous, and he continued to call his grandmother's assistant Fang Yunfei. Fang Yunfei was the same age as Xia Houxi this year. He was a special assistant newly promoted by Chen Shan and had very strong personal abilities.
After a while, Fang Yunfei answered the phone.
"Assistant Fang, where's grandma?"
Fang Yunfei saw that it was the young master's call, so he answered.
"Ms. Chen is already in the VIP lounge waiting to board the plane. I'm outside buying flowers for her."
Before leaving, Ms. Chen suddenly wanted flowers, and as her special assistant, Fang Yunfei naturally wanted to fulfill her wish.
"Okay, go find grandma right now. I can't get through to her on the phone. I have something urgent to tell you. How long until the plane leaves?"
Hearing that Assistant Fang was still outside, Xia Houxi breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of what Butler Qin had said about his grandmother's death and the plane crash... What exactly happened?
"The plane won't take off for another hour. Don't worry, young master. I'll be back soon."
Fang Yunfei walked in holding flowers. Chen Shan liked flowers and there were always red roses in her office. It was not because of love or anything like that, but because Chen Shan liked the thorns of red roses. Such beautiful flowers would make anyone who saw them fall in love, and anyone who touched them would bleed.
Soon Fang Yunfei returned to the VIP room and saw Chen Shan sitting there alone looking at the information on the tablet. She was no longer young this year and was wearing the simplest apricot sweater suit. The outfit should have been gentle, but it made her look noble and unapproachable.
Money can nourish a person. If Chen Shan’s former classmates saw her again, they would probably not recognize her.
"Ms. Chen, the young master just called and seemed to have something to tell you, and he was a little anxious."
Fang Yunfei reported Xia Houxi's situation, and Chen Shan looked away and nodded.
"Yeah, I understand."
Perhaps it was because of that old man. He was so old, but he always did some ridiculous things. Chen Shan didn't take Xiahou Yi to heart. If it weren't for the last will of the Xiahou couple before their death, Chen Shan would have let Xiahou Yi kill himself in a million ways.
Fang Yunfei understood that this meant he should call back, so he immediately dialed Xia Houxi's number with his own cell phone and then handed it to Ms. Chen.
Fang Yunfei and Ms. Chen graduated from the same university. When they were in college, the person he admired most was Ms. Chen. This big boss who single-handedly turned the tide and brought the Xiahou family from a family worth tens of billions to tens of billions of US dollars in assets, but he was born in a truly poor family and lived on scholarships back then. That's why she was always promoted in school.
Ms. Chen did not take Fang Yunfei's mobile phone, but she heard the voice of her grandson Xia Houxi.
"Grandma, it's me. Please don't get on the plane."
Xia Houxi had a very good relationship with Ms. Chen, so he was naturally very straightforward, which surprised Ms. Chen a little.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to that old guy?"
Although she didn't go there, Chen Shan knew that the old man should be performing surgery at this moment.
"Grandpa, it's okay. Grandma, I heard someone say there's something wrong with this flight. If it takes off, I'm afraid something might happen. Grandma, please listen to me and don't take this flight. I beg you~"
Xia Houxi, who is strong enough to serve as a backer in front of others, still likes to solve problems by acting coquettishly in front of his grandmother, because Chen Shan still dotes on her grandson very much.
"I see. Well, then, Grandma won't be taking this flight. I was originally planning to take this opportunity to participate in academic research, but it seems like it's not suitable for such activities right now."
Chen Shan believed in metaphysics to some extent. Just like when Chen Shan first appeared in front of the Xiahou family, in addition to her strong abilities, she was also fortune-teller. The fortune-teller said that Chen Shan was truly destined to be rich and prosperous, the kind that would bring prosperity to her family and career. As for whether she would bring prosperity to her husband or not, the Xiahou family didn't mind. As long as the family was prosperous, it was all that mattered.
Normally, Chen Shan usually uses private jets for travel most of the time. This time, she happened to be traveling abroad with all the experts participating in the event. As a result... would the plane have an accident?
After making the promise to her grandson, Chen Shan hung up the phone.
Fang Yunfei didn't ask much, but just stayed quietly aside. It seemed that the Xiahou family's network of relationships was much larger than that of ordinary people, so it was normal for them to know some "inside stories".
Chen Shan took out her cell phone directly. This call was naturally to the Civil Aviation Administration. Chen Shan had a good relationship with the leaders before. The earliest project contracts in City A were all done with the Xiahou family and the Shangguan family.
After a while, Chen Shan reported the possible problem with the plane and personally guaranteed to be responsible for all the passengers on this flight. What could the people above say? The Xiahou family of City A! This is a real old lady!
Therefore, five minutes after Chen Shan hung up the phone, the latest announcement sounded throughout the airport.
Chen Shan's flight VS235 was canceled today due to unforeseen circumstances. The airline will compensate all passengers on this flight.
At the same time, at the airport in City A, people have been sent to inspect the VS235 aircraft. The Xiahou family never acts without a purpose. If they had no clues, would they say such a thing?
Therefore, the inspection of the aircraft is very detailed.
Since she couldn't go abroad today, Chen Shan left the airport, but did not go to the hospital. She just returned home calmly. An hour later, Chen Shan received a call from the leader at the airport.
"Ms. Chen, thank you so much for your reminder. We've thoroughly inspected the VS235 and didn't expect there to be a problem with its parts. If it were to take off, the consequences would be disastrous. Thank you so much for your reminder, Ms. Chen..."
Hearing the other party's words, Chen Shan raised her eyebrows, but only said a few words of comfort.
The plane they were on was flying abroad and would take more than twenty hours, so if there was a problem with a part, everyone on the plane would probably die.
But how did grandson know all this?
Did you meet some noble person?
In the past, Chen Shan did not believe these things, but when she was young and thought she could soar to the sky with her own strength, she met the Xiahou family and the masters they brought with them. Only then did Chen Shan know what it meant to be a good wind and soar to the sky.
A strong ability is the foundation of a person's life, but if you meet a noble person, you can have earth-shaking fortune.
Thinking that her grandson should still be with the old man, Chen Shan did not disturb him first and planned to wait for her grandson to come back before talking to him.
However, Chen Shan still arranged for her assistant to inform her grandson about the flight.
In the hospital, Xia Houxi immediately returned to Butler Qin after notifying his grandmother, but he was still a little restless. He didn't know why he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
When he came back, Xia Anan stood there quietly. Even Butler Qin felt quiet in his heart and didn't say anything, which made Xia Houxi feel even more frightened.
He didn't know if this feeling was called losing control, but he really didn't want anything to happen to his grandma.
An hour later, when Xia Houxi learned that his grandmother had arrived home and that the plane VS235 she had planned to take actually had a parts problem, he felt inexplicably relieved and couldn't help but look at Qin Lang.
Qin Lang was looked at by Xia Houxi with sparkling eyes, and he felt a little strange for a moment, but his face remained expressionless.
"Why are you looking at me, Master? Am I too handsome today? Is it inappropriate to dress so formally in the hospital? But I'm the Shangguan family's housekeeper, I can't bring shame to the Shangguan family..."
Qin Lang was still wearing a suit today. Although it looked like the clothes someone would wear to sell insurance or promotions in the eyes of the public, it gave off an indescribable air of nobility. Just standing there, he had an aura that made people difficult to approach.
"Butler Qin, you look really handsome today!"
Xia Houxi couldn't help but praise him and continued.
"I collected a sapphire brooch a while ago, and it looks very suitable for you, Butler Qin. When you come home with me tonight, I'll give it to you to try on."
Why is the young master praising me?
"Okay, Master."
But he was happy to get something, so Qin Lang immediately nodded at Xia Houxi and made a mechanical sound through his mobile phone.
[Hehe, I knew that people like me are like fireflies glowing in the dark night. Sooner or later, I'll be noticed. Master Xi really has a keen eye for talent. He looked beyond my excellent personal abilities and only admired my handsome face. There really aren't many people like that these days. After all, everyone pursues inner beauty. Unfortunately, I'm a vain person who only likes others to admire my outer beauty...]
Qin Lang was delighted by the praise, and then began to boast complacently, which made Xia Anan speechless. Xia Houxi also smiled and thought that his cousin must be happier every day with Butler Qin.
But soon, the lights in the operating room went out. More than two hours had passed since Mr. Xiahou entered the operating room and came out. He was pushed out by the nurses, still in a coma. However, this time, everyone looked at him with a different expression...
The patient will be in a coma for a while after the general anesthesia during the operation, so after Xia Houyi was transferred to the ward, he was carefully taken care of by the nurses. Xia Houxi and Xia Anan looked at the old man on the hospital bed with complicated expressions.
One thought was that Grandma was nearly dying during Grandpa's surgery, and the other was filled with hatred, knowing that his grandmother had been bullied like that, and yet this man didn't punish her at all? And even lived a healthy life to this day?
The pain was about to overwhelm Xia Anan.
Even if he wanted to climb up the social ladder, this person was the one who harmed my grandmother...
Maybe Xiahou Yi's health was not that good. He was in a coma for a long time and did not wake up during the day. He was taken care of by doctors and nurses. Xiahou Xi thought about it and planned to take Butler Qin back home, but he did not expect that Xia Anan took the initiative to talk to him.
"Xia Houxi, can I go meet your grandmother, Ms. Chen? I want to know what happened back then."
Compared to wealth and money, no matter how greedy Xia Anan was, what she wanted to know more at this moment was the truth of what happened back then, the truth about her grandmother being bullied...
