Chapter 128: He Moved a Little

However, when she looked at Han Yangting again, he remained motionless; no matter how she spoke to him, he had no reaction at all.

Bai Shuruo suspected that the movement just now had been her own illusion.

At this moment, a nurse came over to remind her that visiting hours were over.

Bai Shuruo wiped away her tears and asked, "Can't you let me sit here? I want to keep him company and talk to him."

Bai Shuruo believed that if Han Yangting were conscious, he would be happy to have her here with him.

The nurse knew her identity, so she said politely, "Of course not. Patients in the intensive care unit need to rest properly, and if you stay here for a long time, it is easy to affect the patient's recovery."

Bai Shuruo had no choice but to leave the ICU, feeling very reluctant.

Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei were still waiting on the bench outside, and Ye Caiyue asked Bai Shuruo, "When you went in, did Yangting have any reaction?"

"Yes, his finger moved a little," Bai Shuruo said.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Caiyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mom, when you went in, did his fingers move?"

"No," Ye Caiyue said.

"Then could it have been my illusion? It was just for a second; later, when I called him again, he had no reaction."

Ye Caiyue couldn't help but chide, "That brat, when his mom goes in he has no reaction, but when his wife goes in he reacts immediately. Truly, a grown son is hard to keep, but I don't mind; he can be with whoever he likes."

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but smile.

As she turned around, walking behind Ye Caiyue, she suddenly saw the white hair on the top of Ye Caiyue's head.

Only then did she notice that Ye Caiyue seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

Her nose felt sore; the hearts of parents are truly pitiful.

……

At noon, Bai Shuruo, Ye Caiyue, and Han Dongbei went to see Han Weimin again.

Han Weimin had already suffered one heart attack, and now, because of his grandson's situation, he was completely devastated, unable to even get out of bed; moreover, he had no appetite and had become much thinner than before, as thin as a skeleton.

If it weren't for Ye Caiyue forcing the hospital to provide nutritional fluids, he would have passed away long ago.

As soon as Bai Shuruo and the others arrived, Han Weimin asked, "How is Yangting?"

Ye Caiyue suppressed the immense grief in her heart and coaxed the old man: "Dad, you don't need to worry. Yangting is showing signs of improvement now. This morning when Ruoruo went in to talk to him, he even moved his finger. Isn't that right, Ruoruo?"

"Yes, that's right," Bai Shuruo also followed Ye Caiyue's lead and said to Han Weimin, "And Brother Han's complexion is much better too. The doctor said he is young and will return to his original state sooner or later. Grandpa, you must take care of your health; otherwise, when Brother Han wakes up and sees you so haggard, he will surely be heartbroken. When I was with Brother Han, he often expressed gratitude for your company and guidance, saying that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today."

Han Weimin was moved, and thinking of his grandson, he couldn't help but shed tears again.

Han Dongbei, who was to the side, did not say a word.

For these past few days, he had always felt like an outsider.

Ye Caiyue and Han Weimin were as close as father and daughter, and Ye Caiyue and Bai Shuruo were as close as mother and daughter. Having been here for so long, his father hadn't even looked at him, his son, once; subconsciously, it seemed he treated him like a distant relative.

He truly regretted being too impulsive back then, leaving without handling everything properly, completely lacking the responsibility and commitment of a man.

……

After coming out of Han Weimin's ward, a nurse came over to report to Ye Caiyue: "Mrs. Han, there are people outside who want to come in to visit, saying they are your cousin and his wife."

Because Ye Caiyue had booked an entire floor as a VIP, the iron gate to the floor was locked, and without Ye Caiyue's permission, no one else was allowed to enter.

Ye Caiyue said to the nurse, "Let them wait for us in the reception room outside."

The nurse received the order and went out to relay the message.

Ye Caiyue returned to her room and tidied herself up from head to toe. When she came out again, she looked like a completely new person, and her white hair had been combed to the very inside, covering it up.

She came out and said to Bai Shuruo and Han Dongbei, "Those people from the Second Branch have impure motives, so don't hold any illusions about them."

Bai Shuruo followed Ye Caiyue to the reception room and saw Han Chunqiu and Ms. Qu, as well as the eldest son Han Ketian and the eldest daughter Han Jiani waiting inside, with several bouquets of flowers on the table.

Seeing Ye Caiyue, Ms. Qu stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, we finally get to see you. We came twice before, but the nurses said you were busy and not in the mood to see us. I was thinking, no matter what, Yangting is our nephew and we are family, so you should at least let us know his situation. And Big Brother, I don't know how he is doing now; did he faint? Has he woken up?"

Ye Caiyue's tone toward them was indifferent: "My father is fine, he just suffered a bit of a shock and should recover very soon."

"Then why won't you let us go see him? We originally wanted to bring some things, but thinking that you probably don't lack anything here, we only brought a few bouquets of flowers. These are carnations; Jiani said this represents wishing for a speedy recovery."

Ye Caiyue glanced at the bouquets and said, "You are thoughtful."

Han Chunqiu had always been a smiling tiger; he asked with a chuckle, "Now that Yangting... has had this accident, and you have to take care of him at the hospital, what about the company?"

Han Dongbei hadn't been on guard against the people from the Second Branch before, but ever since he started being cautious, he caught the meaning behind Han Chunqiu's words.

They claimed to be visiting the sick, but in reality, they wanted to see who would manage the Baiyin Group next.

Han Dongbei really wanted to share the burden for his family, so he said, "Isn't there me?"

"Big Brother, you?" Han Chunqiu suddenly laughed.

"Is that not possible?" Han Dongbei asked.

Han Chunqiu put on a helpless expression: "Big Brother, the position of the company's head isn't something just anyone can sit in. You haven't been at the company for so many years. You might know how many teeth a lion in Africa has, but do you know how many employees the company has?"

"I..." Well, Han Dongbei truly didn't know.

Han Dongbei was stubborn: "I can learn."

Even Ye Caiyue couldn't watch this anymore, and she said, "Stop showing off. You can't even handle something like managing a parking lot."

Ye Caiyue gave Han Dongbei no face in front of so many people. Han Dongbei was quite angry, so he said indignantly, "Fine, I admit you are right. I can't do it, but you can. Yangting wasn't at the company before, didn't you manage it all?"

Ye Caiyue was now willing but unable.

On one side was her unconscious son, and on the other was her father-in-law who was on the verge of death. Her father-in-law had been very good to her over the years, and if it weren't for his support, she wouldn't have reached the position of Vice Chair of Baiyin Group.

Therefore, she didn't want to return to the company at this time.

But if she didn't go back, those people from the Second Branch would definitely seize the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Han Chunqiu saw Ye Caiyue's hesitation and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, you probably don't have time lately. If you really don't have anyone to spare, I could..."

She smiled faintly and interrupted Han Chunqiu: "Who said I don't have anyone here? I still have my daughter-in-law."

Bai Shuruo: "..."
