He Jitang fell into silence when the little maid hurried over.
She said, "Young Master He, quickly go see Young Master Ci’an!"
He Jitang’s brow furrowed slightly as he hastened to the scene.
Little Ci’an curled up on the bed, tears whirling in his eyes from fear.
This morning he had tinnitus, which he thought would pass just like usual, but by the afternoon he was completely deaf!
He Jitang arrived.
Little Ci’an threw himself into his arms, trying to talk to his dad.
But he couldn’t hear, his speech was nonsensical.
He Jitang’s blood ran cold.
He reached out, trembling as he touched Ci’an’s ears, understanding that Ci’an was deaf.
He Jitang held Ci’an tightly, turning his head to instruct the maid, "Send the car to fetch Doctor Gu!"
The maid let out a sigh and immediately went to carry out the order.
He Jitang then turned back, patting Little Ci’an’s shoulder, comforting him wordlessly.
Little Ci’an was very afraid.
He feared death, feared never seeing his grandparents again, afraid he wouldn’t see his auntie...
He wanted to go back to City B.
He stuttered and stumbled over his words, his speech incoherent, but He Jitang understood.
He Jitang did not agree.
With Ci’an in this condition, how could he send him back to City B?
The elderly couple were advanced in years, and Ruanruan was about to have her grand wedding!
He Jitang’s mind was a mess, and just then the housekeeper came in, trembling as he said, "Doctor Gu has gone out and lost contact!"
He Jitang suddenly stood up.
The housekeeper bowed his head, not daring to make a sound.
He Jitang instructed softly, "Continue searching for Doctor Gu!"
He himself took Little Ci’an in his arms and drove to the hospital.
The disease Ci’an had was incurable, leaving the doctors helpless. They told He Jitang, "This kind of condition typically leads to irreversible symptoms. The child can’t hear now. Mr. He, you should consider getting him a cochlear implant!"
He Jitang gently closed his eyes.
He took care of Little Ci’an, who was sensible. Although scared, he didn’t cry.
He just leaned on his dad.
The atmosphere in the ward was very oppressive.
It wasn’t until late into the night that Shen Ci entered, covered in frost.
He wiped his face and said, "There is still no news of Doctor Gu! I fear something has happened."
He Jitang fiddled with a jadeite ring, silent.
Shen Ci observed his expression and whispered, "Actually, Miss Su holds a special place in Young Master He’s heart, and Ci’an is fond of her too. Why not bring Miss Su here? With her presence, Young Master Ci’an’s health won’t be affected!"
He added, "She’s capable and has good relations with the Zhou Family. With her, Young Master He would be like a tiger with wings!"
He Jitang looked at him, "My younger sister is getting married tomorrow!"
Shen Ci earnestly said, "If Miss Su knew of Ci’an’s condition, she would definitely be worried! If she’s willing to come, then once you truly become husband and wife, I believe Miss Su would be willing to stay."
He Jitang was silent for a long time.
Shen Ci knew he was wavering.
After a while, He Jitang spoke softly, "But what if she’s not willing?"
Shen Ci smiled faintly, "Young Master He, take the initiative! With your character, you wouldn’t be dishonoring her!"
He Jitang’s grip on the ring tightened.
He stared at Shen Ci.
Shen Ci, however, had already produced a map, "This is the fire safety plan for the hotel where Miss Su’s wedding will be held tomorrow, I went to great lengths to obtain it."
He Jitang’s gaze grew colder, "You seem to be well prepared!"
Shen Ci bowed his head.
He Jitang took the map, looking over it quietly. After a moment, he asked, "You got it from Sun Jingyu, didn’t you?"
...
He Jitang’s guess was spot on.
That day, he sent a grand gift, and when Su Ruanruan returned to the Gu Family, the lady of the house gave it to her.
Su Ruanruan opened it with suspicion.
It was a complete set of jadeite, extremely valuable.
The lady of the Gu Family was also shocked, whispering, "Who sent this? This must be worth at least two to three hundred million, right?"
Su Ruanruan closed the box.
She privately told the lady of the Gu Family, "He Jitang sent it."
The lady of the Gu Family was astounded.
Su Ruanruan had received a grand gift.
She felt uneasy inside and informed Bao Jingyan.
Naturally, Bao Jingyan was cautious.
Su Ruanruan was shadowed by bodyguards whenever she went out, and on the day of the wedding, hundreds of security personnel would surround the hotel, making it impregnable.
Absolutely foolproof!
