Xu Xuezi now had only one thing in mind, which was how to stand up. The days in the wheelchair made even the simplest tasks exceedingly inconvenient.
This feeling of being restrained by others was frustrating to her, and she urgently wanted to stand up, to regain the prestige she had when she was the Young Lady of the Xu Family.
But, what was Su Xiaofeng saying?
She said her legs would never recover.
This can’t be, how can this be.
"My Acheng’s situation is different from yours. His legs were fine at the time, just that his brain was damaged. Later, Grandpa used a very precious medicinal herb, and Acheng managed to wake up. Of course, your legs aren’t completely hopeless. If you find suitable herbs or advanced treatments, there is still a chance." Xu Xuezi’s legs, to put it plainly, were dragged into their current state.
If the early treatment process had been a bit more proactive, she wouldn’t have been paralyzed.
"I know you want to negotiate terms with me, so go ahead, anything I can do, I will agree. But my demand is only one: you help me heal my legs." Hearing Xiaofeng’s words, Xu Xuezi thought Xiaofeng was making demands.
"Given your current state, even if I did, you’d probably find it difficult to fulfill. Xu Lao has been recovering well lately; if you have time, come care for him more often."
"Su Xiaofeng, don’t think I’m begging you. If you don’t treat my legs, I will find someone else to heal them." Xu Xuezi did not want to hear Xiaofeng’s words anymore; as she saw it, Su Xiaofeng wasn’t interested in looking at her legs, so asking further was pointless.
If that’s the case, she shouldn’t blame her for seeking help elsewhere.
Watching Xu Xuezi being wheeled away, Gu Lao smiled and said to Xu Lao: "Your grandson, he doesn’t have the spirit you had back in the day, can’t hold his temper at all."
Begging for someone to treat her legs, while still being unable to let go of her pride, still the same high and mighty attitude as before.
Lying on the bed, Xu Lao gave a weathered smile: "I failed to keep them in check. Gu Lao Liu, even if I recover, those people probably won’t spare me. If I confess some issues, can you promise to protect the Xu Family people for me?"
He was sick at the moment, so those people didn’t take him seriously. If they learned his health improved, things would definitely not be good.
Gu Lao, being astutely perceptive, understood some truths right away: "So, Xu Chengyun, for the 319 case, you were actually involved."
Xu Lao fell silent for a while, then finally said: "Some mistakes were made, and denying it now won’t change that fact. Lao Liu, can you promise what I just asked you?"
He was old already, a matter of years whether he lived or died.
But the Xu Family didn’t consist of just him; he had a grandson Tianming, as long as there are descendants, the Xu Family will carry on.
"If other members of the Xu Family didn’t follow your mistakes, naturally they shouldn’t bear the consequences with you."
"Alright, I understand. I want to tell you now, I plan to surrender myself." Xu Lao spoke up.
Xiaofeng and Gu Lao exchanged a glance.
Gu Lao avoided looking directly at Xu Lao but said to Xiaofeng: "His situation is a bit complex, might need to go to the hospital for some western medicine treatment."
Listening to Gu Lao, Xu Lao understood, closed his eyes and said nothing more. Newest update provided by noᴠelfire.net
Xiaofeng nodded: "Got it. I’ll inform the Men Family Head to cooperate with transferring Xu Lao to the hospital."
Xu Xuezi was about to leave, but worried her grandfather might have an issue, fearing Men Chao would use it against her, she had someone push her back.
"Xu Xuezi, you’re just in time. Grandpa mentioned your grandfather needs to be treated with western medicine to gain better results, so he must be transferred to the hospital for a few days."
Xu Xuezi frowned: "Now?"
Men Chao wasn’t home at the moment, she couldn’t make decisions.
"If you can’t decide, wait until Men Chao returns. It’s just staying in the hospital for a few days, it’s not that urgent." Xiaofeng noticed the hesitation in her eyes.
"Of course, Grandpa’s health comes first; as his granddaughter, I can still make this decision." Xu Xuezi gritted her teeth and made the decision.
"Miss Xu and Xu Lao do have a grandfather-granddaughter bond." Xiaofeng didn’t say much, just instructed people to be careful, as they now needed to transfer Xu Lao to the hospital.
Xu Xuezi was inconveniently mobile, certainly couldn’t make it to the hospital.
Coincidentally, Yin Li had returned from her mission, so Xu Xuezi had no choice but to ask Yin Li to accompany him to the hospital; with Yin Li there, Grandpa’s situation at the hospital would be clearer.
