The door was pushed open, but the group of people stopped outside the door. They still had inconsolable grieving expressions and tears in their eyes, but their voices had been abruptly cut off by what they saw in the room.
In a split second, their deafening cries had been silenced.
They saw that Lu Lixing had cornered Ji Qingqing to a wall, and she was looking so embarrassed that she didnât dare to raise her head.
It was Lu Lixing that reacted first. He nonchalantly looked at Elder Lu, âGrandfather, whatâs wrong?â
âYoung Master is still aliveâŚâ These words were obviously inappropriate to say and were quickly swallowed back down.
Seeing that Young Master was standing up and perfectly fine, Aunty Pei cried and laughed. âElder Lu, Young Master is okay! Young Master is okay!â
Seeing that his grandson was still alive and standing by the bedpost, Elder Lu trembled and let out a long sigh of relief.
The doctor anxiously rushed over and examined Lu Lixing.
Elder Lu walked to the bed and tightly held Lu Lixingâs hand. His eyes showed lingering fear. âChild, are you okay?â
In the past month, Elder Lu had exhausted himself for Lu Lixing. A good portion of his previously black hair had turned white.
Lu Lixing turned his hand so he was holding Elder Luâs hand. âGrandfather, donât worry. Iâm fine.â
âGood, as long as youâre okayâŚâ
The old man had already mentally prepared himself for his grandsonâs impending death a month ago because of the doctorâs urgings. Having lived to this old age, he had seen plenty of people dying from sickness and old age. But, once he saw Aunty Pei weeping bitterly, his legs felt weak. He hadnât been able to accept reality.
Fortunately⌠FortunatelyâŚ
The crowd of servants left the room.
Ji Qingqing looked at Elder Lu. An idea occurred to her. âElder Lu, you should have the doctor examine you too.â
She was truly worried about Elder Luâs health after he had experienced a roller coaster of emotions.
However, Elder Lu wasnât concerned. âI donât need it. Iâm very healthy.â
âElder Lu, just listen to Young Madam and have the doctor give you an examination,â persuaded Aunty Pei. âYoung Masterâs health isnât good. You canât collapse too.â
âElder Lu, itâs just a quick examination. The doctor is already here,â chimed Ji Qingqing
âYou havenât been able to eat well or sleep well lately. How can I not worry?â said Aunty Pei.
Elder Lu saw Ji Qingqing and Aunty Peiâs insistent faces. He sighed and agreed, âFine!â
About half an hour later, the doctor came out of Elder Luâs room. The doctor said there was no serious problem with Elder Luâs body. It was only that his spirit wasnât good, and he needed to properly rest. He couldnât work too hard, and he should eat nourishing foods.
Ji Qingqing mentally noted down the doctorâs words, then she turned to Aunty Pei. âAunty Pei, whereâs Lu Liting?â
Aunty Pei sighed. âSecond Young Master left this morning after getting a call. Young Madam, what could be more important to him than whatâs happening at home right now? Young Master is in very poor health, Elder Luâs body isnât well either. At this critical juncture, how could he just leave like that?â
Ji Qingqing guessed that it had to be related Shen Weiwei. No one elseâs call would be able to get Lu Liting to leave here.
Regarding this matter, Ji Qingqing had guessed correctly.
When Shen Weiwei had originally gotten injured during their dispute, the company had given all of Ji Qingqing acting roles and endorsements to Shen Weiwei in order to appease her. Now that Tianyu Entertainment had investigated the incident clearly, they saw that Ji Qingqing hadnât pushed Shen Weiwei in the video recording. So, naturally, the acting roles and endorsements were returned to Ji Qingqing.
Not only that, Tianyu Entertainment had posted this online to clear Ji Qingqingâs name.
Meng Xun couldnât accept that her efforts were going to be wasted, so she called Lu Liting on Shen Weiweiâs phone.
