Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"It's fine, you just graduated, there are many things in society you don't understand, this isn't your fault, after all being good at studying doesn't equal being good at everything, I've been there too, when I first came to Guangzhou I was just like you... in terms of how to conduct oneself and handle affairs, there's still a lot to learn later on."

Wang Erhai said this while driving the car.

The last sentence made Wang Xiaohua feel even more guilty inside.

Wang Xiaohua knew Wang Erhai's words had another meaning.

In terms of how to conduct himself, he indeed hadn't done well.

If he had been slightly more smooth, slightly more worldly, he would never have criticized his father's past mistakes right in front of his father's face.

Were those words he said wrong?

Actually they weren't wrong.

Not only were they not wrong, they were completely correct.

But they were completely unnecessary to say.

Because saying them couldn't change anything.

"Second Brother, I understand, from now on I'll definitely study hard how to conduct myself... how is Dad doing now?"

Wang Xiaohua lowered his head, looking very dejected.

"The situation isn't good, just after the surgery he was sent down and admitted to the ICU. The ICU burns money, four to five thousand yuan a day, the doctor said it's hard to determine how many days he'll stay in the ICU, maybe a few days, maybe over ten days, right now he's just hanging on by a thread, the expert team is still discussing the treatment plan, the forty thousand plus Mom brought down have all been paid in advance."

Wang Erhai spoke like this, his face full of fatigue and weathered weariness.

Last night upon receiving Mother's call, he and his eldest brother immediately rushed to the hospital.

Last night the two brothers and Mother kept vigil in the hospital for a whole night, to this day they still haven't closed their eyes for a moment, truly both sleepy and tired, mainly heart-tired.

"It's all my fault, I deserve to die!"

Wang Xiaohua fiercely slapped himself across the face.

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Third Brother, don't blame yourself, perhaps this is just fate, our family's feng shui, maybe we're just destined to have no wealth, every time business just starts picking up, something happens at home, this time is the same, my and Big Brother's company just recently started improving, originally thought bringing three hundred thousand back for Winter Solstice to renovate the new house was already a sure thing, who could have expected another accident like this... sigh, let's not think so much for now, saving the person is most important, no matter what, he's still our biological father..."

Wang Erhai let out a long sigh.

Wang Xiaohua remained silently wordless.

In the past he always felt his father was the family's stumbling block, whenever the family had a chance to improve, he would mess things up.

Now he himself has acted as that stumbling block once, and this time it will probably make the whole family fall the hardest and worst, who knows it might even cause a huge upheaval in this family.

After driving for over an hour, Wang Erhai finally brought Wang Xiaohua back to Zhongshan Third Hospital Tianhe Branch.

Wang Xiaohua came before his mother and eldest brother, his eldest brother spoke up first to hurriedly comfort him:

"Third Brother, I already know about what happened at home, don't blame yourself too much, this is a tribulation in the old man's fate, speaking of it it's also heaven's protection, the company has earned some money these past few months, regarding medical expenses we can still afford them, you need to level your mindset, none of us blame you."

Wang Dashan forced a smile onto his face, comforting Wang Xiaohua.

Li Xiulan also said:

"Xiaohua, don't take this matter to heart, you'll be going to university before long, if this matter affects your studies at university, that would be bad."

Wang Erhai also said:

"What's past is past, let's just treat it as past, now we just do our best to treat him, as for the result, leave it to fate, Third Brother you must set your mind at ease."

Facing the tolerance of his two brothers and mother, Wang Xiaohua truly couldn't hold back, and burst into tears all at once.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Mom, scold me, hit me, fiercely slap me a few times across the face, maybe I'll feel a bit better that way!"

His family's tolerance toward him instead made him feel even more guilty, even more self-reproachful.

Wang Dashan patted his shoulder:

"If you want to cry then cry it out, after crying just forget this matter."

Just at this moment, Du Xiaojuan hurriedly rushed over from outside.

After Du Xiaojuan greeted Li Xiulan, Wang Xiaohua, and Wang Erhai, she hurriedly asked:

"Dashan, how is Uncle doing?"

Wang Dashan gave a bitter smile:

"The situation isn't too optimistic."

Du Xiaojuan took out a card:

"This is a Platinum Credit Card I opened at the bank, it has a daily advance limit of five hundred thousand, if you don't have enough money you can use the money in this card."

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"No need, didn't we say before? Financial matters, we each manage our own, I have enough money for now."

But Du Xiaojuan forcibly shoved the Platinum Card over:

"You just take it, don't be polite with me, I have to go to Hangzhou on a business trip in two days, might not be back for a while, just afraid you'll need money then and I won't be able to get back in time to help you."

"Alright then, thank you, Xiao Juan."

Wang Dashan finally accepted Du Xiaojuan's credit card, he no longer chose to refuse because of face and dignity like before, but he doesn't plan to use the money in the card, when Du Xiaojuan returns from her business trip he will return the credit card intact to Du Xiaojuan.

Because he feels he really has enough to pay for his father's medical expenses.

Although Shanhai Real Estate hasn't grown very large.

But Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai the two brothers, up to now, already have over five hundred thousand in personal savings, this doesn't even count the company accounts, if you count the company accounts there would be even more.

So he really feels he can afford the medical expenses.

And not refusing Du Xiaojuan's kindness was out of consideration from Du Xiaojuan's standpoint.

"Dashan, have you and Xiao Juan made up again?"

Seeing Du Xiaojuan, a smile appeared on Li Xiulan's aged face.

"Mom, yes, Xiao Juan and I have made up."

"Good that you've made up, good that you've made up. Xiao Juan is a good girl; you mustn't let her down." Li Xiulan said busily.

At this time Du Xiaojuan said to Li Xiulan:

"Auntie, Uncle will definitely get better; don't worry too much."

Li Xiulan nodded busily:

"I know. The fortune teller said long ago that my husband would live to at least seventy. This year is his zodiac year; encountering some obstacles is normal; they'll all pass."

The few of them chatted with each other for a while.

Du Xiaojuan took a call; it was from Xiao Du Technology's side.

She hung up the phone, then said the company had something and she had to go back to handle it, so she didn't stay much longer.

Li Xiulan then had Wang Dashan go send her downstairs.

She and the other two sons, meanwhile, continued keeping watch outside the ICU.

The expert group said they would discuss a treatment plan as soon as possible; who knew how the discussion was going now.

In a blink it reached noon.

Wang Erhai went outside the hospital to get takeout lunch and brought it up.

The three brothers ate a little simply.

Shanhai Real Estate's side couldn't be without someone presiding over work for long, so around one o'clock Wang Dashan went back to the company.

In a blink it reached three in the afternoon; the expert group finally discussed out a treatment plan.

An attending physician, bringing several young doctors, came over — likely graduate students or standardized training residents who had just graduated not long ago.

They invited Wang Xiaohua, Li Xiulan, and Wang Erhai into an office inside, and then the young doctor was responsible for explaining to the three family members of the patient the patient's specific situation — for example what place had a cerebral infarction, how large the cerebral infarction area was, the surgery's risks, possible sequelae after surgery, and so on — saying a whole pile, mixed in the middle with many medical professional terms; even Wang Xiaohua couldn't understand too well, let alone Li Xiulan and Wang Erhai.

However this process can both train young doctors and let patient family members fully understand the patient's situation; it's also not a bad process.

After the young doctor finished speaking, only then did the attending physician come to speak the treatment plan.

"The patient's situation is not too optimistic; intracranial pressure is too high. First we must lower his intracranial pressure; later a stent will definitely need to be placed. Here there are two treatment plans: one is the domestic traditional treatment plan, one is the foreign advanced treatment plan; you all look at which one to use..."
