Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Decision Made by the Elder
Hao Zaiye got a jolt through his body, suddenly feeling a wave of coldness shooting from the soles of his feet up his entire body!
He embarrassingly chuckled and said, “So that’s what you meant, why didn’t you say so earlier, causing us all to misunderstand! Asen, we can’t be blamed for this, after all, we were misled by those doctors. Had we known the old master was out of danger, we wouldn’t have said those words!”
“Yes, yes, we were also misled.”
“None of us want the old master to leave, now that he’s fine, isn’t it great news?”
The others said happily.
No matter how they tried to defuse the awkward atmosphere, Hao Yansen’s expression remained ice cold.
Seeing him , everyone inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
They knew very well what they were guilty of.
The moment they heard the old master was dying, their first reaction was to scramble for the greatest benefits, for fear of others getting ahead.
Even though their intentions weren’t too obvious, they felt guilty indeed.
The most guilty was Hao Zaiye, who feared Hao Yansen would see through his ulterior motive in matchmaking him with Jiang Kerou.
“Asen, though the old master has passed the critical stage, your marriage is indeed important. Just now, we did it for your own good, so think it over carefully, I believe the old master will advise you the same upon waking,” Hao Zaiye could only resort to a concerned elder’s tone.
Hao Yansen looked at him coldly, his lips curling with a wicked smile, “I appreciate Uncle’s concern. But I hope you all understand what you should really be worried about! Next time, I do not want to see such behavior from you while the old master is seriously ill!”
Hao Zaiye’s cheeks twitched as he awkwardly smiled, “Of course, we were just too anxious this time, that’s why we persuaded you like that, it won’t happen again. But you also need to find a perfect wife soon.”
“The choice of my wife will be decided by the old master once he awakes. No need for you all to trouble yourselves,” Hao Yansen said dismissively.
Although Hao Zaiye felt a loss of face, a part of him also had some hope.
Was it not better if the old master made the decision?
The old master would surely appreciate Jiang Kerou!
He had always favored her, and besides Jiang Kerou, who else could be more suitable?
There was simply no other woman who could compare to Jiang Kerou.
Thinking this way, Hao Zaiye’s heart felt a bit more reassured, “You’re right, this matter should indeed be decided after the old master wakes up. But now, can we go and see the old master? Since he is okay, I want to see him, or else I can’t be at peace.”
Hao Yansen smiled faintly, “Of course.”
Not letting you see him, you’d probably be truly worried.
And so, Hao Zaiye and the others all went to visit the old master together.
It was only after confirming that the old master truly had passed the critical period and showed no signs of death, that they left.
However, as they departed, their minds were filled with complicated thoughts.
Many of them were actually hoping for the old master to pass away because they could take advantage of the situation once Hao Yansen, by himself, couldn’t handle managing the family.
But now, with the old master possibly recovering, their hopes were dashed.
No matter, although the old master wasn’t going to die for now, his health remained very poor.
Maybe he couldn’t hold on much longer.
Yes, now was their chance!
While the old master had not yet passed away and the family hadn’t been reshuffled, they must seize this opportunity to prepare for the future.
