Chapter 526: Leaving Sun Sun Wukong Road

Leaving Sun Sun Wukong Road.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao asked him, "Where do you plan to go for research for your next book?"

Li Heng replied, "Aba, Sichuan Province."

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao was surprised, "An ethnic autonomous prefecture?"

Li Heng said yes.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao hadn't expected him to go so far, "I went to that place once a few years ago. It borders the Chengdu Plain and is typical plateau terrain with an average altitude of over 3,000 meters. I had tinnitus at the time, so you must make the necessary preparations."

Li Heng smiled and said, "Brother Sister Sister Liao, you've likely forgotten where I was born. The Xuefeng Mountains where my hometown is located aren't low in altitude either."

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao solemnly urged, "The Xuefeng Mountains aren't low, but compared to Aba, they are still lower. You must not take it lightly."

Li Heng nodded, "Teacher Yu has already sent people there to scout the location. I'll leave after this month is over."

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao calculated his work schedule and said, "If I can get away then, I'll go with you and take the opportunity to visit an old college classmate of mine there."

Li Heng asked curiously, "Where does your friend live?"

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao said, "Barkam Town, the seat of the Aba Prefecture government."

Li Heng said, "Fine, I'll notify you before I set off."

Chatting along the way, as the car left Xu Hui, Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "There's something, I don't know if I should tell you?"

Li Heng turned his head to look at him, "What is it?"

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao said, "Huang Huang Zhaoyi's mother was hospitalized, yesterday at noon."

Some things are understood as soon as they are heard; the other party being hospitalized must have something to do with him, otherwise Brother Sister Sister Liao wouldn't have brought it up. Li Heng pondered for a moment and asked, "Because of the matter between her and me?"

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao didn't hide it, "Yesterday morning, Huang Huang Xuqing and the others went to the entrance of Fudan University. When they were about to leave, they ran into Huang Huang Zhaoyi, and then they had lunch together at Fuchun Fuchun Fuchun Xiaoyuan. During the meal, some arguments occurred, and Mother Huang was so angry that she fainted on the spot."

Hearing that she was so angry she fainted, Li Heng fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, seeing that he didn't speak, Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao asked, "I'm going to the hospital this afternoon, do you... do you want to come along?"

Li Heng asked with concern, "How old is Mother Huang this year?"

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao said, "Almost 70."

Hearing such an advanced age, Li Heng's concern grew even greater, "The other party quarreled with Huang Huang Zhaoyi because of my affairs; I'm afraid she won't be willing to see me. If I go there rashly like this, will it aggravate the old lady's condition?"

He wasn't afraid of seeing the Huang family. Since he had confirmed his relationship with the Great Huang Huang Qingyi, some things couldn't be avoided. His principle had always been to face difficulties together and not let Huang Huang Zhaoyi feel cold-hearted.

But many things also had to be considered from the big picture; he couldn't just act on his temper and rush in. If Mother Huang fainted again because she saw him, aggravating her condition, what would he do then?

What kind of explanation would he give the Huang family?

How would he explain it to the Great Huang Huang Qingyi?

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao hesitated, clearly also considering this aspect.

Elderly people generally have high blood pressure, and Mother Huang had always been short-tempered; if she fainted again, it would likely be quite troublesome.

Thoughts racing, Li Heng said slowly and calmly, "Brother Sister Sister Liao, what do you think of this? I won't enter the ward later; I'll wait for you in the corridor outside. I'll buy some nutritional supplements and fruit, and you can take them in for me."

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "That's a good idea! That's a great idea! It's an offensive and defensive strategy; it shows your courtesy and the importance you place on this, and it won't anger the old lady by meeting her directly."

"Taking a step back, if the Huang family specifically asks to see you, you can go in then."

That was exactly what Li Heng was thinking.

After discussing the gifts and buying them at a department store along the way, the car drove into Jing'an and stopped downstairs at the hospital.

The Huang family's status in Shanghai was very high, and the ward was easy to find. Under the guidance of a nurse, the two arrived near the entrance of the ward.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao took the gifts from his hands and whispered, "You wait for me outside, I'll go and check the situation."

Li Heng nodded and stopped in the corridor. Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao was very familiar with the Huang family. After knocking and entering, he found that all three Huang sisters were inside, as well as Huang Huang Zhaoyi's sister-in-law.

Seeing Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao, Huang Huang Huang Xuqing, who was closest to the door, immediately came over to receive the gifts, "Brother Sister Sister Liao, you came, why did you buy so many things? My hands are almost full."

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao smiled and said, "The left hand is mine, the right hand is Li Heng's."

Hearing the two words "Li Heng," the ward instantly fell silent. Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked cautiously at the hospital bed in unison.

Mother Huang had good hearing and also heard the name "Li Heng." Her expression changed instantly, becoming ugly.

Seeing this scene, Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, Li Heng hadn't followed him in directly; otherwise, it would have been difficult to resolve.

Seeing her mother's reaction, the three Huang sisters didn't dare to mention Li Heng at all. Even Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi, who was concerned, held back for the moment.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao took the tea handed over by the sister-in-law, walked to the hospital bed, and began to ask after Mother Huang's well-being.

For example, asking how her body was, if she felt better, what she wanted to eat, and so on.

Mother Huang answered one by one. After chatting for a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is he?"

This "he," of course, referred to Li Heng.

This question startled everyone in the room, and their hearts immediately jumped into their throats.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao turned to the three sisters and the sister-in-law, seemingly seeking their opinions.

Seeing this, Mother Huang said dissatisfiedly, "Where is he? I want to see him."

Huang Huang Huang Zhiyun asked, "Mom, why do you want to see Li Heng in your condition?"

Mother Huang glared, thinking that the other party was her own daughter. Her expression softened slightly later, and finally, she sighed and said, "At my age, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried about your youngest sister. I have to find a home for her."

Hearing this, the people in the room were silent.

Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi felt guilty, sat down in front of the hospital bed, and reached out to hold her mother's hand, "Mom, don't worry about my affairs for now, just focus on recovering your health. Li Heng must be very busy these days, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come over."

As she spoke, the Great Huang Huang Qingyi quietly kicked Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao's shoe with her left foot, signaling him to cooperate.

There was no other way but to cooperate.

Because once Li Heng was called in, it would be a dead end!

Mother Huang would definitely nag about Li Heng marrying her youngest daughter, and under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Li Heng to marry the Great Huang Huang Qingyi.

This simply couldn't be negotiated; it was unsolvable.

Chief Editor Sister Sister Liao understood and cooperated, saying, "Mr. Jin Yong returned to Hong Kong today, and Li Heng went to see him off. He specifically entrusted me to bring the gifts over."

Mother Huang frowned and said unpleasantly, "Sure enough, things that are offered voluntarily aren't worth anything."

The air in the room stagnated!

Everyone wasn't a fool; they knew Mother Huang was scolding her youngest daughter: offering herself voluntarily, and the other party took advantage of her but didn't take her seriously.

The sister-in-law counseled, "Mom, there are priorities in everything. Li Heng's identity has just been exposed, and he must be tied up with a lot of things. Plus, with your condition, he wouldn't dare to come over either. You have to understand him."

Huang Huang Huang Zhiyun echoed, "Right, the cause of the matter is clear. The root cause lies with little Liuyue, and we can't blame all these things on Li Heng."

"Although our Huang family is powerful, we must also be reasonable. The fact that he could specifically entrust Brother Sister Sister Liao to bring a favor shows that our youngest sister still has a certain status in his heart."

"What's more, Li Heng's status isn't low. We can discuss some things, but we can't put on airs and scare him away."

Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi looked at her second sister gratefully and also said, "Mom, you focus on recovering your health first. When you've fully recovered, I'll discuss it with him."

In fact, Huang Huang Huang Zhaoyi's words were purely an excuse, because she herself had no confidence at all. Her goal was just to hope that her mother would get better as soon as possible.
