Chapter 117: He Is Sick

Bai Shunan asked, "Are you jealous that he's better looking than you?"

"He's better looking than me? Bai Shunan, what kind of taste do you have? Someone better looking than me hasn't even been born yet. I just feel that this guy, at first glance, is a very ambitious person, yet he's here working as a small designer. I just feel he has ulterior motives. He wouldn't be trying to target your sister, would he?"

Bai Shunan couldn't help but ask, "Then tell me, what is he after?"

"What he's after, I can't say for sure."

Bai Shunan carried her meal and smiled at Ling Feng again: "As long as a person has ambition, it will sooner or later be impossible to hide. No matter what he's after, there will be a moment when he's exposed. But since he's working properly right now, don't gossip behind his back; it makes you look like a blabbermouth."

"I'm a blabbermouth?" Ling Feng asked, feeling wronged.

Bai Shunan patted his shoulder: "Eat your food properly and plug your own mouth; then others won't be able to see your tongue."

"Bai Shunan, you heartless person, I was just kindly reminding you."

"Thanks for the reminder." Bai Shunan carried her lunch box and walked away.

……

In Beishi, Bai Shuruo and Han Yangting arrived at the Castle, where Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei were waiting for them in the living room.

"Dad, Mom, how is Grandfather?" Han Yangting asked.

Han Dongbei was about to speak, but Ye Caiyue stepped forward and said to Han Yangting: "The medical team has already checked him. They said it was a heart attack, but fortunately, it was discovered in time and he has been resuscitated. There's no need to go to the hospital for now; the medical team is taking care of him upstairs."

"Then I'll go see Grandfather first," Han Yangting said.

Bai Shuruo also hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, I'll go see Grandfather too."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Ye Caiyue said.

……

The Han Family's dedicated medical team is on standby at all times, especially for Han Weimin. Once he has any discomfort, the medical team will immediately send people to treat him; they can even move an operating room over.

Therefore, since it was a sudden situation like a heart attack, Han Weimin didn't even need to go to the hospital and could be treated at home.

Because the medical team is there, all rules must follow hospital standards. Before going upstairs, one must put on a sterile gown and undergo comprehensive disinfection before entering.

Han Weimin had already woken up. He looked very weak, but he seemed quite happy to see Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo return.

"Yangting, come here and keep your grandfather company."

Han Yangting sat down beside Han Weimin and said: "Grandfather, I've already learned about your condition from the doctor. You don't need to worry; everything will get better."

Han Weimin sighed, "Sigh."

"Grandfather, why are you sighing?" Han Yangting asked.

Han Weimin glanced at Han Yangting, then at Bai Shuruo, and said: "I want you to stay by your grandfather's side always. When Grandfather can't see you... I'm always uncomfortable."

Han Yangting said: "Then I will stay in Beishi to keep you company longer, Grandfather."

Han Weimin added: "Grandfather knows you two are deeply in love, but Grandfather is old. When one gets old, one just wants people around. You two need to plan for having children sooner; otherwise, Grandfather doesn't know if he'll be able to hold a grandson."

Han Yangting said: "Don't worry, Grandfather, Ruoruo and I are already preparing."

Bai Shuruo smiled awkwardly, but she nodded sensibly.

The old man was sick like this; she would humor him as much as she could.

Han Weimin had spoken too much at once and looked very exhausted, so Han Yangting hurriedly fed him some water.

……

Dinner.

Because Han Weimin was ill, he was not present for dinner that day.

When the other four were eating, the atmosphere was also very oppressive.

Seeing that everyone's spirits were low, Han Dongbei couldn't help but say: "Oh my, why have we been so silent? Everyone should eat and drink as they please. My father is old, and it's not strange for him to be sick. You shouldn't stop eating just because of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was snapped at by Ye Caiyue: "Of course you can eat well; is there anything in this world that can stop you from having a good time?"

"I... I'm doing this for your sake. Seeing that you all don't seem to be eating much, how can we take care of the old man if we don't eat our fill?"

Han Yangting didn't speak, but he picked up a piece of roast duck for Bai Shuruo.

Bai Shuruo hurriedly said "Thank you."

Actually, she could understand why Han Dongbei said that. Han Dongbei was acting out of kindness, but he hadn't been home for a long time, and all the big and small matters in the house were handled by Ye Caiyue. Ye Caiyue already had opinions about him, so no matter what he said or did, it was hitting a sore spot.

However, fortunately, this oppressive atmosphere didn't last long, because Ye Caiyue started chatting with Han Yangting.

Ye Caiyue is the head of the household now, and her mood is too important.

"Yangting, how is the building in Fengcheng coming along?"

Han Yangting said: "It's ready to be topped off. Next is the renovation. It can be put into use in about three or four months."

"Good. Once it can be put into use, arrange some of our business over there."

Han Yangting nodded.

If the headquarters doesn't move, it's equivalent to Foxconn building a branch factory in the north. Baiyin Group has a lot of business, so it can always be absorbed.

Ye Caiyue continued while drinking soup: "Once things are stable in Fengcheng, you might have to be stationed in Beishi often. Grandfather is old, and as for me, generally speaking, my energy isn't what it used to be. The Second Branch is eyeing our shares covetously, and I'm afraid they might do something extreme."

"I understand."

Han Dongbei couldn't help but ask: "Then Yangting isn't going to Fengcheng? What about Ruoruo?"

Bai Shuruo hadn't considered this question.

She had no concept of living apart in two different places right now; instead, she felt that being separated was quite good, so she spoke up first: "I don't mind. I'm quite fine by myself in Fengcheng."

Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue glanced at Bai Shuruo, then looked helplessly at Han Yangting.

It turns out this young lady doesn't mind living in two different places at all.

Han Yangting finished his last bite of rice and said: "Ruoruo and I will discuss this issue again. I'm full, I'll go back to my room to rest for a while, and I'll go up to see Grandfather later."

Bai Shuruo was also full, so she hurriedly put down her bowl and followed him out.

Only Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue were left in the dining room.

Ye Caiyue ate her meal slowly and methodically; she didn't speak, and Han Dongbei didn't dare to speak either.

Han Dongbei placed the steamed pumpkin egg in front of her and said, "Eat some of this; it's light and good for your health."

Ye Caiyue pushed the steamed pumpkin egg back in front of Han Yangting, "Since it's good for your health, then you eat it yourself."

"Didn't you just say your energy isn't what it used to be? How about I discuss some nourishing things with the cook to help you build your strength back up?"

Ye Caiyue rolled her eyes at him: "What does energy not being what it used to be have to do with nourishment? I'm just getting old."

"How are you old? You're only 50."

"You don't need to butter me up; I hit menopause two months ago." Ye Caiyue wiped her mouth with a napkin and then left the dining table.

Han Dongbei was stunned, and when he realized what she meant, he couldn't help but feel filled with regret.

For a woman, menopause signifies that her youthful years have come to an end.

In the end, he had delayed her.

……

Bedroom.

Bai Shuruo was no longer a stranger to this room.

After coming in, she packed her own luggage, putting the clothes she often wore into her own exclusive wardrobe; she had originally wanted to help Han Yangting pack as well, but before she could, Han Yangting called out to her: "Ruoruo, come here."
