Nan Xun bought the earliest flight back to the capital.
But when she arrived at the hospital, it took nearly four hours.
Outside the emergency room stood the anxious Tang family. The lights in the operating room were on and the Old Master was still undergoing emergency treatment.
Nan Xun walked up to the pale Mrs Tang. Seeing Nan Xun coming over, Mrs Tang said with trembling lips, “You couldn’t contact Mo’er?”
Nan Xun shook her head.
On the way here, she had called and sent him countless messages, but they were all like stones sinking into the sea.
She had no choice but to contact Ye Jie and Luo Zhou, who both said that they had not seen Tang Mo recently.
No one knew where he had gone!
Tang Xun walked over and said sternly, “Did he go out drinking again?” At the mention of Tang Mo, Tang Xun’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
“Tang Xun, don’t look down on your own son!”
Tang Xun snorted. “Then where did he go? His grandfather, who dotes on him the most, is in danger, but he’s nowhere to be seen. He can’t even get through to his phone. Where did he go if not to indulge in
debauchery?”
When Nan Xun heard Tang Xun’s words, she frowned slightly. It was the first time she had retorted in front of Tang Xun since she married into the Tang family. “Dad, you haven’t returned to the old residence recently.
How much do you know about Tang Mo? Apart from being busy with work, he’s always home on time. When did he go out to drink and drink? Isn’t it unfair for you to say this?”
Tang Xun glanced at Nan Xun, his expression dark. He did not have a good impression of this daughter-in-law with an ordinary background. If the Old Master had not forced her to marry him, he would not have
acknowledged such a daughter-in-law.
“I’m talking to your mother-in-law, why are you interrupting? You’re indeed from a small family. You have no manners at all.”
Nan Xun wanted to say something, but Mrs Tang stopped her. The Old Master was still undergoing emergency treatment and it would only be a joke if the family quarreled outside.
Tang Xun walked to Liu Xiu and Tang Xu with a dark expression, as if they were a real family of three.
Nan Xun suddenly felt sad for Mrs Tang and Tang Mo.
After another half an hour, the door to the emergency room opened.
The doctor walked out. He took off his mask and said to the Tang family, “Go in and take one last look at Old Master!”
The moment she said it, there was a moment of silence.
Mrs Tang’s legs went weak and she was helped into the emergency room by Nan Xun.
The Old Master lay on the bed, his eyes slightly opened as he looked at his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter-in-law who had come in… He was already barely breathing and could not speak. His eyes moved
from the people who came in to the door, as if he was waiting for someone.
Tang Xun walked to the bed and held the Old Master’s hand. The Old Master did not look at him and only looked at the door.
Mrs Tang and Nan Xun also rushed over. Mrs Tang said with tears in her eyes, “Dad, are you waiting for Mo’er? He’s on a business trip and hasn’t returned yet…”
The Old Master glanced at the three of them and nodded lightly before he slowly closed his eyes.
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
Three sorrowful sounds came from the ward.
Liu Xiu and Tang Xu stood outside the emergency room. The mother and son knew that the Old Master did not like them, so they did not go in. Hearing the sad voices in the emergency room, they went to the door to
take a look.
Liu Xiu’s eyes filled with tears. She glanced at the indifferent Tang Xu beside her and pinched him hard. “You have to act better!”
The doctor concluded that the Old Master had passed away from a heart attack.
Tang Xun frowned. “Old Master is resting at home. Why did his heart condition act up?” Tang Xun immediately called the butler over.
The butler stammered, “Old Master was looking at his phone in the morning and saw a piece of gossip. He felt a little dizzy at that time and I fed him the medicine. He said that he wanted to rest and not let anyone
disturb him, so I went out.”
Tang Xun’s expression darkened. “What gossip?”
The butler turned on the news and saw Tang Mo and You Bao’er standing at the entrance of the clubhouse. The two of them were very close and he could not see their eyes clearly. He could only see the side of their
faces and You Bao’er had a smile on her face.
Seeing the news, Tang Xun’s expression darkened even more. “This little bastard!”
Mrs Tang, who was immersed in grief, heard Tang Xun’s roar and asked Nan Xun to help her to Tang Xun’s side. When she saw the news, she said with tears in her eyes, “What does this news mean? Tang Xun, do you
think Mo’er’s news harmed Old Master?”
Tang Xun’s voice was cold. “Isn’t it? I think he’s only hiding because he’s guilty!”
Nan Xun furrowed his eyebrows slightly when he saw the news.
The photo seemed to have been taken the night she had injured Tang Mo.
She did not know if there was anything between Tang Mo and that You Bao’er, but she did not believe that the Old Master had acted up because of this news.
From the photos, there was nothing ambiguous or inappropriate.
With Tang Mo’s status, there must be many women who wanted to throw themselves at him and woo him. This should happen often, but he did not show any interest in this woman!
“Dad, it’s too ridiculous to put the blame on Tang Mo just because of gossip!”
Tang Xun looked at Nan Xun and said coldly, “I’ll investigate this matter properly. If it’s really related to him, our Tang family won’t tolerate such an unfilial son!”
Tang Mo received the news that night.
Old Yu bought a new phone for Tang Mo. Tang Mo slept and when he woke up, he put the SIM card into his new phone. The moment he turned it on, he received a call from Nan Xun.
The moment the call went through, he heard Nan Xun’s sobbing voice before he could say anything. “Where did you go? Your phone was switched off and Grandpa left!”
Tang Mo tightened his grip on the phone and said hoarsely, “What did you say?”
“Grandpa is gone. Come back quickly!”
Tang Mo hung up and called the nurse over.
When she rushed back, it was already late at night.
Seeing Tang Mo return, Tang Xun slapped him angrily.
Tang Mo stood still.
He could not wear the prosthetic leg for the time being. He had forced it on when he came back and it still hurt when he walked. Tang Xun slapped him and he took a few steps back.
“You still know to come back? When the Old Master left, he wanted to see you, but you hid somewhere to have fun. Are you worthy of the Old Master’s love for you since you were young?”
Tang Mo pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Tang Xu walked over and said to Tang Xun, who had a vein throbbing on his forehead, “Dad, the most important thing now is to settle Grandpa’s funeral.”
Looking at Tang Xu, who was younger than Tang Mo but was much more sensible, Tang Xun’s expression softened. He pointed at Tang Mo’s nose. “You’ve been doted on by your mother. I’ll settle it with you after your
grandfather’s memorial service!”
