He could not believe that all of this had really happened in front of him. Qu Xiujie did not even think about what he would do if Old master Qu did not wake up. What would he do to save this company that was on the verge of bankruptcy?
Qu Xiujie had never thought that the Qu Group would become such a hot potato at this moment. He could give it to anyone but the Qu family wanted to fight for it.
“Young Master, don’t blame me for being nosy. Old lady Qu is genuinely nice to you, don’t argue with her anymore. Why don’t you come back? You’re indispensable to this family. The company needs your support now.”
The butler thought that he was the person who saw through Qu family the most, but he realized that no matter how much he persuaded Qu Xiujie, he did not agree to return to Qu family and only asked a few simple questions about Old master Qu’s birthday banquet.
Old lady Qu was the one who organized Old master Qu’s birthday banquet. The butler was running errands and did not know too many details.
“Since you don’t know, why are you persuading me to return to Qu family? Do I think I can come back whenever I want? At least wait until the old man inside wakes up.”
Qu Xiujie was getting impatient. The more he looked at the butler, the angrier he got.
What was wrong with the Qu family now? First, there was Qu Jingwan begging to stay in Ji Ziming’s house. She even wanted to trip Pei Ge despite Pei Ge’s health.
This woman’s heart was indeed scary.
“Butler, if you say another word, do you believe that the first thing I will do when that old man wakes up is to fire you?”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes were vicious. The more impatient the butler was, the more he spoke.
In the end, Qu Xiujie could only give up waiting at the entrance of the emergency room. As Old lady Qu was about to rush over, he hurriedly left the emergency room.
Just as Qu Xiujie reached the stairs, Old lady Qu ran out of the elevator and ran to the emergency room with a crying face. The door of the emergency room opened just then.
“Old lady Qu, Old master Qu is fine now. Luckily, he was sent here in time.”
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Old master Qu in this hospital, they would have to bear the responsibility together. Luckily, he was sent to the hospital in time and was only treated briefly.
“I see. That’s wonderful. Thank God for the blessing.”
Old lady Qu put her palms together and said a few words of ‘Amitabha’ as though she was a devoted believer of Buddha.
“Old lady Qu, please wait for a while more. Old master Qu can be sent directly to the high-class ward later.”
The doctor spoke again before turning around and entering the ward to change.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Old lady Qu’s eyes were filled with joy but in reality, she was already filled with hatred in her heart. She kept repeating the doctor’s words. “Luckily, he was sent to the hospital in time.”
“Butler, who sent Old Master here?”
Old lady Qu asked coldly.
“Yes, Young Master. Young Master came back today and was discussing something with Old Master in the study room. I went to deliver the water and heard Young Master calling for emergency ambulance. When I rushed to the study room, I saw that Old Master was already lying on the ground.”
The butler told the truth and did not hide anything from Old lady Qu. Because of this, no matter what happened in the house, Old lady Qu would not miss anything.
“Oh? Why didn’t you tell me that Qu Xiujie came back immediately?”
Old lady Qu blinked her eyes as her gaze turned vicious.
She had once instructed the butler to take note of what this person wanted to do or what he planned to do no matter who came to the Qu family. It seemed like the butler had underestimated his enemy and did not trust him.
“Madam, I wanted to send some water to the study to hear what Young Master and Old Master were talking about before reporting it to you. I didn’t have time to report it to you because of this emergency.”
The butler spoke honestly. Indeed, before he could report to Old lady Qu, Old master Qu had already fainted.
“What a trash!”
Old lady Qu cursed softly.
“Where’s Qu Xiujie? Why don’t I see him?”
Old lady Qu looked around but did not see Qu Xiujie.
“Young Master has already left. He left a few minutes before you arrived.”
The butler looked in the direction of the lift. Since Old lady Qu said so, it could only mean that Qu Xiujie did not take the same lift as Old lady Qu.
“Why didn’t he wait for Old Master to wake up before leaving?”
Old lady Qu said as she looked at the safe exit door. The door was still shaking slightly, which meant that Qu Xiujie had not left for long. Little did she know that Qu Xiujie was standing at the door and had heard the conversation between Old lady Qu and the butler clearly.
“Young Master said that you’re here, so he’s relieved. He also said that it’s not a good time to meet you. Perhaps Young Master is afraid that he’ll quarrel with you again.”
The butler tried to explain for Qu Xiujie.
“Oh? He’s still afraid of quarreling with me? He’s so good at quarreling and fighting. As an old man, I don’t dare to argue or fight with him as I will lose. If Old Master is gone, what’s the use of an old lady like me? I still have to rely on him to give me some money to help me. I have to coax him.”
As Old lady Qu spoke, she secretly used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her eyes. She did not expect there to be so many possibilities. For example, Qu Xiujie was standing not far away from them.
She overheard Old lady Qu’s conversation with the butler and heard the doctor mention Old master Qu’s condition.
Qu Xiujie heaved a sigh of relief. Although he did not know if he really cared about Old master Qu’s life and death and hoped that he could quickly apologize to his mother, when Old master Qu really had a life accident, Qu Xiujie was thinking about how to save him.
Regardless of whether he was resuscitated or treated at home, he felt that it was too easy for the heavens to take him away.
“Madam, should we look for Young Master? I just told Young Master that he doesn’t seem to be willing to come back.”
The butler raised his head slightly and said.
“It would be weird if he’s willing to come back. With his personality, how could he be willing to return to Qu family? Old master chased him out.”
