Ye Shuyun was still sitting on the sofa watching television. She was holding the chubby Little Bean in her arms. Little Bean was no longer small, it was turning into a Giant Bean with its weight of over 10 kilograms. Under normal circumstances, it would not move at all. It would only stand up reluctantly and walk a few steps when it was taking its meal or drinking water. At other times, it would just stay in Ye Shuyun’s arms. No choice as Master Bean was too lazy.
“What’s the matter, son? Have you not eaten yet?” Ye Shuyun asked Lu Yi.
“No, I have eaten. Huanhuan has employed a nanny back home.” Lu Yi lowered his head and looked at Fang Zhu who was still unconscious. “Mom, do you know the contact numbers of Fang Zhu’s family?”
“Yeah, why are you asking?” Ye Shuyun frowned as she placed Master Bean on the floor. Even though Master Bean did not want to move, it still padded lazily to the side of Lu Jin’s leg and laid down. Lu Jin stretched his hand and patted Master Bean’s head. Master Bean was too lazy to even make a sound.
Meanwhile, Ye Shuyun’s expression changed. She hurriedly searched through the contacts in her phone for Fang Zhu’s parents’ phone numbers. Fang Zhu’s parents were both university lecturers whom Ye Shuyun had encountered at a friend’s party. At first, she thought that they could be her in-laws. However, it turned out that it was just a wild goose chase.
However, compared to Fang Zhu, it was obvious that Ye Shuyun prefered Yan Huan.
Of course they would be satisfied with such a beautiful, capable and lovable child. It seemed like their dull son prefered a gentle lady instead of a dominant woman.
She finally found them and held the phone to her ear, waiting for someone to pick up the call. She hastily said as the call connected, “Hello, is this Fang Tao? I am Ye Shuyun…”
The person on the other side hung up as soon as she finished introducing herself.
“What’s going on?” Ye Shuyun was holding the phone in bafflement.
“What else?” Lu Jin sat in a military posture. His eyes were vivacious and his back was straight. “We have become their enemies as we did not become their family.”
“It’s all your fault. Why did you introduce Fang Zhu to Lu Yi in the first place? Those intellectuals are always over-sensitive.”
“How would I know?” Ye Shuyun felt aggrieved, “If I had known that Lu Yi could get a wife by himself, I would not have been so anxious to find him a partner. At that time, he had no luck with women.”
“Of course my son would be competent in that aspect as well,” Lu Jin shook his head. “Back then, I made you fall in love with me even though you were the apple of everyone’s eye. How could my own son not pick this up from me?”
“That’s it…” Ye Shuyun was proud when she talked about this. When she was young, she was very beautiful and well-known for her attractiveness. At first, Ye Jianguo had wanted her to be his own daughter-in-law. However, Lu Jin fell in love with Ye Shuyun. Thus, he used all his might to win her heart over and managed to make her his wife. Even to this day, Ye Jianguo still felt unhappy every time someone brought this up. It was like he had worked so hard to plant the cabbages, but when the cabbages were about to be harvested, an unknown goat came and snapped up his cabbages. How was this not irritating?
However, Lu Yi had surpassed his father by marrying the top actress of the country, Yan Huan. The 23 years old best actress with a bright future is my son’s wife!
Wait. Ye Shuyun realized that her thoughts had derailed. Her son was still waiting urgently for her to contact Fang Zhu’s parents.
She dialed the number again. Nonetheless, the person on the other side of the phone hung up right after they saw Ye Shuyun’s number.
Come on!
Ye Shuyun sat there in a huff while holding her phone for a long time. They were there waiting to save Fang Zhu’s life but the Fang family was here throwing tantrums. Was the Fang family worried that she was calling because she needed their help? Wake up please, the Lu family could afford anything they want, there was no reason for them to contact the Fang family for financial help.
“What to do now?” Ye Shuyun asked Lu Jin. “Fang Zhu got in a car accident and is still in the hospital. Family consent is needed for her operation.”
“Is it?” Lu Jin quickly put down the newspaper. He walked over and took the phone from Ye Shuyun. “I will do it,” said Lu Jin.
He dialed the same number again but the person over the phone still hung up. Lu Jin’s temper was not so good and thus he was annoyed after being hung up on a few times. Who’s going to care for their daughter if they do not care about her themselves? Was it necessary to go this far just because Lu Yi did not marry their daughter?
He kept calling while the person over the phone kept hanging up his calls. He wanted to see who was going to lose his temper first.
“Are you done?” The person over the phone finally answered his call, but he sounded hostile.
“It’s not that we want to keep calling.” Lu Jin’s voice did not sound amiable too. “We just want to inform you that your daughter is currently in the emergency ward of the hospital. Or could it be that you do not want to go?”
Lu Jin put down the phone after the person over the phone hung up.
Lu Jin felt exhausted after the confrontation. There was really not much people left in this world who could argue with Lu Jin.
Ye Shuyun gave him a thumbs up, which warmed his heart.
Ye Shuyun stood up and went to her bedroom. After some time, she came out of the room with her clothes changed.
“What are you going to do at this late hour?” Lu Jin asked her curiously as it was almost nine o’clock.
“What else to do?” Ye Shuyun sighed, “I’m going to the hospital. After all, Fang Zhu almost became our daughter-in-law. It is basic decency that we should also be concerned. Furthermore, I can’t pretend to not know since I have already known about it. I would feel bad if we don’t go.”
“That’s right,” Lu Jin thought for a moment. Even though he did not like the Fang family, but just like what Ye Shuyun said, they should at least be concerned about her. He stood up and got dressed. “Let’s go, I’m going with you.”
As for Master Bean, they would leave it home since it was already late and it could eat and sleep on its own without supervision
Meanwhile in the hospital, the results of the emergency examination had came out. Fang Zhu had multiple fractures and was suffering from haemorrhage. Hence, blood transfusions were needed, but of course it was not under Lu Yi’s control. It was unlikely for Lu Yi to undergo blood transfusion as his blood type was rare and therefore unsuitable for most people.
“Are her family members here?” The nurse had came to ask Lu Yi several times. “The patient needs to undergo surgery, but we need her family members to sign.”
“They are on their way.”
Lu Yi didn’t sit but stood aside. Ye Shuyun had told him that she had informed Fang Zhu’s parents. Therefore, they would come over immediately and thus would not delay the operation.
Fortunately, Fang Zhu’s situation was much better than what he imagined. Her internal organs were not subject to much injuries and her head was not injured too badly from the accident. However, her external injuries were more severe. Thus, she was really fortunate as her injuries were mostly external and not fatal.
