After Lin Shen left, Xia Wenxi contacted the family driver and quickly cleaned up the leftovers, putting the dishes and utensils into the dishwasher. The driver arrived half an hour later.
When Xia Wenxi arrived home, the family had just finished lunch. Ke Shurong was playing with Xiaoyuer in the yard, digesting her food.
I was surprised to see her back.
"Why didn't you spend more time on your date? You're back so early?"
Xia Wenxi nodded and picked up Xiaoyuer. "Lin Shen's mother seems to be sick, so he went to the hospital. We don't know the situation yet, and it wouldn't be good for me to go, so I'm going home first."
"Sick?" Ke Shurong was also surprised to hear this. "I saw her not long ago and she was in good health."
After the initial surprise, she said her daughter was right, "It wasn't really appropriate for you to go today. Let's find a suitable time another day and I'll go with you to visit her."
Putting aside the relationship between the younger generation, Ke Shurong and Jian Yuxiang are old acquaintances, so it's only right that she goes to visit them.
After entering the house, Xia Wenxi sent a message to Lin Shen, telling him that she had arrived home and asking about his mother's current situation.
"Mr. Lin, we just examined your mother and initially determined that her high blood pressure was caused by a temporary emotional issue. It has now stabilized. In the future, we must be careful not to let the patient be stimulated again."
"We will be careful, thank you doctor."
Lin Shen walked to the door of the ward, tightened his grip on the doorknob, and then pushed the door open to go inside.
Lin Shuyu and Lin Shen's second brother, Lin Zhan, were sitting facing each other on the sofa in the outer room, without saying a word.
Upon seeing Lin Shen enter, Lin Zhan immediately asked, "Little Shen, what did the doctor say?"
Lin Shen glanced at his father, and Lin Shuyu subconsciously turned his head away, avoiding his son's gaze.
"The doctor said that Mom was suddenly stimulated and became emotionally agitated, which caused her high blood pressure to faint. She should not be subjected to any more stimulation afterward."
Lin Zhan was a straightforward person, and upon hearing this, he immediately said to his father, "Then Dad, don't go in. Be careful Mom doesn't get angry if she sees you."
One sentence was enough to infuriate Lin Shuyu.
Unfortunately, he was indeed in the wrong, so he could only turn his head away and remain silent.
Lin Shen pretended not to notice his father's expression and asked Lin Zhan, "Is my sister inside now?"
Lin Zhan nodded, his expression strange.
“I wanted to go in and see my mom, but she said no man is any good and kicked me out.”
Lin Zhan, the second son of the Lin family, has been living a life of leisure and pleasure all year round, with nothing to worry about. He is over forty years old, but he doesn't look much older than his younger brother.
At this moment, the way he looked at Lin Shen made it hard to tell who seemed more like the younger brother.
Lin Shen nodded and stepped inside. Lin Zhan wanted to remind him not to go, or he might get scolded, but then he thought that his younger brother should still be considered a good thing in his mother's heart, so he didn't say anything.
Sure enough, Lin Shen knocked on the door and then went inside.
After being inside for a while, Lin Zhan didn't hear any cursing coming from inside.
Lin Zhan looked at his father, then at himself, and sat down obediently. He also told his older brother, who was away from home, about the current situation.
Jian Yuxiang had already woken up. She was already over seventy years old, and no matter how well she took care of herself, this illness made her seem to have aged a lot all at once.
Lin Shen's older sister, Lin Ji, quietly stayed by her mother's side; neither of them spoke a word.
Jian Yuxiang glanced at her youngest son's face and uttered two words, "Sit down."
Actually, Lin Zhan really misunderstood. The reason he was scolded was mainly because he looked like Lin Shuyu. Jian Yuxiang gets annoyed whenever she sees someone who looks like her husband. He was completely being blamed.
Of the four children, the third child, Lin Ji, and the fourth child, Lin Shen, look more like Jian Yuxiang, and she now prefers to see them.
"It's Saturday today, did Mom interrupt your date?" Jian Yuxiang patted her daughter's hand. "Third child, you don't know yet, do you? Your younger brother is dating."
"Really?" Lin Ji genuinely didn't know about this. The siblings didn't contact each other even once a month, so naturally they didn't know.
"That's good. He's not young anymore, it's time for him to start dating."
When Jian Yuxiang talked about Lin Shen's love life, her face lit up with a lot more energy.
"Third brother, you might have seen that girl at school. She and Xiao Shen were in the same major, and I think she just graduated this year? Her surname is Xia."
Lin Ji was from the School of Physics, so she definitely wouldn't know any students from the School of Economics and Management. However, upon hearing that he had just graduated, she still glanced at her younger brother with a hint of surprise.
Lin Shen felt a little embarrassed by the look in her eyes and quickly changed the subject, "Mom, Wenxi was supposed to come to see you today, but I didn't let her come. She and Aunt Ke will come in a couple of days."
"Okay, remember to apologize to them properly for what happened today."
"I know, please rest a little longer."
Jian Yuxiang was exhausted and felt tired as she talked. After she fell asleep, Lin Shen and his sister went into the tea room to talk.
"I didn't explain things clearly on the phone earlier, sis. What exactly happened today?"
Lin Ji frowned in disgust and said to her younger brother, "We might be getting another brother or sister."
"What?"
During the phone call, Lin Ji only said that Dad had angered Mom, and Mom had fainted and come to the hospital, without explaining the reasons to Lin Shen.
“I only found out when I got to the hospital. My second brother called me and only said that Mom had fainted and asked me to come to the hospital. He also told me to call you so he could inform my eldest brother. My sister-in-law and second sister-in-law came over at first, but Dad chased them away.”
As for why he drove his daughter-in-law away, Lin Ji guessed that it was because he was afraid that if they started arguing, his daughter-in-law would hear about it and lose face.
Lin Ji originally didn't want to care about anything at home, but now that this has happened, seeing her younger brother again has stirred up some sibling affection that she didn't have before.
Lin Shu-yu may have been having affairs all these years, otherwise Chien Yu-hsiang wouldn't have had another child at an advanced age when she already had two sons and a daughter.
A person's moral standards do not improve with age; if someone cheats when they are young, they will still cheat when they are old.
Lin Shen subconsciously ignored these things; he was just a son, and no matter what, he couldn't interfere in his parents' problems.
When he was a teenager, he was simple-minded. He even earnestly advised his mother to divorce his father during a "talk to parents" activity organized by the school, and as a result, he was scolded.
"If you get divorced and another woman marries into your family, and then gives you a few more brothers, what business is it of yours?"
After that, Lin Shen stopped talking.
After he graduated and joined the company, his mother seemed to relax a bit and told him that as long as his father didn't have any more children outside the company, she wouldn't care about anything else.
"Where is the other person? And how did they manage to cause trouble in front of Mom today?"
