Qin Zhiyou must’ve just arrived because she saw him on his phone, seemingly about to call her. Luckily, it wasn’t end-of-work rush hour and there were few people around, so only a few colleagues saw him. Upon spotting him, she quickly walked over, looked around, and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”
He never comes to her office; when he reluctantly dropped her off for work, he would stop a block away. Of course, she also feared that if Qin Zhiyou showed up, her colleagues would misinterpret his presence. His recognition would make explaining the situation as troublesome as explaining it to Zhao Zihao.
Qin Zhiyou glanced at her with furrowed brows. “Grandpa tripped and has been sent to the nursing home.”
Lu Weixi was stunned for a brief moment but quickly recovered. Just then, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian saw her from the second floor and called out, “Lu!”
Lu Weixi quickly replied, “I’m taking a leave of absence. There’s an emergency at home.”
She then hastily followed Qin Zhiyou into the car and they sped off to the nursing home.
When they arrived at the nursing home, Grandpa Qin was still undergoing examination, with a large crowd gathered outside. Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia got the news and rushed over immediately. Soon after, meanwhile, Qin Zhimei and Qin Zhizha, sister and brother, also arrived.
Qin Zhimei was in a suit and heavily made up, carrying countless shopping bags, clearly caught in the midst of a shopping spree when asked to come. Seeing Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi, the siblings looked surprised at first, then showed a hint of disdain. Especially Qin Zhimei, her narrow eyes – so much like her mother’s and brother’s – were so full of contempt, it was practically bursting out of the screen.
Lu Weixi couldn’t be bothered to engage them. The two of them silently waited outside. When the doctor emerged, the crowd quickly gathered around asking, “How is he, how’s the old man’s condition?”
The doctor barely replied, “He’s okay. Just had a fall, his bones and body are fine, he’s conscious.”
The crowd sighed with relief. This reassurance allowed them to completely relax. Their biggest fear was that the old man had suffered a serious injury before having made his will. With Qin Zhiyou being the current head of Hanhai, wouldn’t most of his assets, in the absence of a will, go to him?
The doctor wanted to say something else, but the crowd, no longer interested, shifted their attention to Grandpa Qin who was now being brought out in a wheelchair. Qin Zhizha was first to rush to him, hugging the old man’s legs and crying, “Grandpa, I was so scared something terrible might happen to you. Please be alright.”
Then there was Qin Zhimei, who one moment was full of disdain and next, with a look of concern and a tear squeezed out, said, “As long as you’re alright, grandpa.”
Meanwhile, Qin Weijia and Qin Weijian were not to be outdone, rushing up to display their filial piety. Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou, who had arrived first, were pushed to the back of the crowd.
Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi didn’t mind. He pulled the doctor over and asked, “Is my grandpa really alright?”
The doctor nodded, “We just conducted a full body check-up on him. He’s fine. But you know, for the elderly, a fall can be dangerous. After you take him home in the next couple of days, you need to keep a careful eye on him. Call me immediately if anything happens.”
Only then did Lu Weixi breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Grandpa Qin had been very kind to her. As they were speaking, the crowd followed Grandpa Qin out the door. He turned around and said, “Zhiyou, Weixi, you can go home now..”
