Xiao Yebai’s face was tense.
"Go home and see the elderly," Dad advised quietly by his side. "Now that the elderly are , don’t end up regretting it, Yebai."
These words truly came from Dad’s heart, as he spoke to his son-in-law, reflecting on his own experiences, which were not much different. Marrying a wife, having two elderly in-laws who often felt disdain and caused conflicts, being caught in the middle like a sandwich cookie—it was tough. But in all conscience, didn’t the family raise the child when he was young? This nurturing grace cannot be circumvented by any means.
"Nuannuan would understand," Dad added.
Xiao Yebai pursed his lips tightly, remaining silent.
On the other end of the phone, there seemed to be some bad news.
People were running around.
Xiao Shuju yelled into the phone, "Grandma is in resuscitation! Damn you, Yebai, how can you not come back? How can you do this to grandma?!"
Xiao Shulan then took the phone and instructed her brother, "Have Professor Tang come back. His medical skills are superb. Grandma is in such a state, and you are not hurrying him back to save Grandma?"
Speaking of Tang Sili, there was only one such person. If Tang Sili left here, Grandma’s life could not be guaranteed. Meanwhile, Grandma was in the best hospital, surrounded by numerous instruments and many famous doctors and specialists—
Xiao Yebai thought about this and naturally would not allow Tang Sili to return. However, the price would surely be that he needed to go there himself.
"Dad, I’ll go back for a bit and come back right away. You don’t need to worry too much. Here, we still have Zhang San and the others. If anything happens, Dad, just instruct them to handle it," Xiao Yebai turned his head and said softly to Dad.
Dad nodded twice at him, "Alright, hurry up and go. The elderly are important. Nuannuan and her mom, I’m watching over them here."
Xiao Yebai stood up and walked out the door.
Having decided to leave, as he passed by the door of his wife’s sleeping room again, Xiao Yebai’s hand reached out, touched the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not turn it.
He thought, why make an extra move to worry her? Her body isn’t in the same condition as before.
He hurried down the stairs and got into the car parked in front of the door. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI~Fire.net
Only when Xiao Yebai’s car abruptly left the villa did Zhang Sanfeng and Zhan Dapeng suddenly realize that their brother had left.
"How could he leave without saying a word beforehand?" Zhan Dapeng cursed.
Zhang Sanfeng’s brow had been furrowed the whole time. Listening to Zhan Dapeng’s voice, he too felt a swirling restlessness within, along with a vague sense of foreboding.
Jia Baomo also did not know that Xiao Yebai had suddenly left, as per Xiao Yebai’s instructions to first investigate the situation of Qiu Sanggu who had poisoned Mom.
It was only when he reached Zhang Sanfeng’s bedroom that he heard about Xiao Yebai’s sudden departure, which also stunned him momentarily.
"What’s the matter?" Zhang Sanfeng looked up. Now that Xiao Yebai was not here, he, as the third oldest, must shoulder the responsibility and take command, saying, "Eldest brother is just going home to see the elderly."
Jia Baomo was somewhat relieved upon hearing this and said, "The Qiu Family, I had someone inquire about them. They say their son suddenly made it big, and the skincare products were all brought by their son."
"Yes, named Qiu Jiaxuan. He was always an irresponsible rich second generation. Not quite rich second generation though, his family’s assets were at most middle class. He was always idle with no real income, spending his parents’ money, thus often getting scolded by them. But such is his nature, and it’s a deeply ingrained habit he can’t change."
"Are you saying this person suddenly made it big?"
"Yes! Apparently, he repaid all the debts he owed his friends suddenly. After asking a few of his close friends, it turns out he picked up a foreign girl in a bar last time. That foreign girl seems to be a wealthy foreigner, and she gave him a large sum of money."
