Chapter 192: Your Grandfather Has Late-Stage Lung Cancer
er the light, just like him, flamboyant and eye-catching.His eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he spoke in a low voice: "Jiang Qi Feng is also here""Yes."With a c...After the footsteps in the living room disappeared, He Hanchuan signed his name on the document and closed it. He glanced at the direction where Xiang Wan left, a fleeting gloom flashing in his eyes.
Beep—
Beep—
The cell phone on the table buzzed incessantly, driving everyone crazy.
He glanced at the caller ID, his brows furrowing slightly before he declined the call. But after a while, the same number called again. His eyes darkened, and he answered the phone.
“Your grandfather has late-stage lung cancer, and everyone is at the hospital right now except you. No matter what you're doing, come over immediately!” On the phone, He father’s voice boomed like thunder.
He told He Hanchuan the location of the ward and hung up the phone directly.
He threw his phone onto the table, leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples, a hint of fatigue in his expression. He had sensed something was amiss during this time apart from his grandfather, but he never expected it to be late-stage lung cancer.
He straightened up, took a sip of tea, then called Zhong Yuxuan on the phone, got up and went out.
The First Hospital of B City.
Even though the VIP ward is spacious enough, it becomes cramped when dozens of people come to visit the patient at the same time. People are shoulder-to-shoulder and if you're not careful, you might step on someone else's feet.
Mr. He's three sons and two daughters, along with their spouses and children, all came. Mr. He's family members like Zhao Yu stood at the innermost circle, while the younger generation stood outside.
However, the third son of the He family and his children were an exception. The third son of the He family and his daughter-in-law stood by the bed of Old Master He, while their children stood beside them.
And an elderly woman with white hair and a noble bearing sat by the bed, wiping Mr. He's face with a towel. If Xiang Wan were here, she would definitely recognize her as the elderly woman she had met in the hospital corridor before.
“Dad, how come you didn't tell us when you were sick If it weren't for the third sister-in-law letting it slip, we wouldn't have known you were ill!”
"That's right, Dad. No matter what, you can't hide your illness! If something really happens to you, how could we live with ourselves"
"Dad, I don't think the doctors here are doing much good. You've been here for so long and haven't seen any improvement. Well, I happen to know a lung cancer specialist abroad, and I've already contacted him. He'll be here soon..."
In the ward, everything was in disarray. Old Master He propped himself up in bed and yelled with a grim face, "Be quiet, all of you!"
The room fell silent, the only sound the ragged breaths of those present.
"What are you doing, buzzing around here all day long and bothering me!" Old Master He slammed his fist on the bed frame several times.
No one dared to speak.
Grandfather He swept his gaze across the crowd and pointed at them, roaring, "Don't think I don't know what you all are thinking. You just want to make a good impression in front of me while I'm still alive, hoping I'll leave you more of my inheritance when I'm gone!"
"A bunch of useless things! If you were as good at running a company as you are at fighting over inheritance, I wouldn't have to worry about all of you incompetent fools!"
"Don't even think about my inheritance, I already have a will and no amount of pleasing me will change it!"
Everyone had been listening quietly, but as soon as they heard that the will was ready, a commotion broke out.
"Was the will already written Or is it still the old one"
"Dad, the third family holds 25% of the shares. You're being too biased, aren't you" The He family owns 85% of the shares in He Group in total.
"Normally, the third brother gets a large share of the profits and dividends at home, that's alright. But even in your will, you write it like this, showing such obvious favoritism! "
"Lao San doesn't do anything, holding so many shares isn't appropriate, is it We are the ones who manage the company on a daily basis."
The old woman stood up and said, “There's no need to rush. The doctor said the old man needs to rest, you guys…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the eldest daughter of the He family, "Aunt Zhou, we respect your elders in the He family on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean you are one of our own. This is a matter concerning our family's will, and as an outsider, you should refrain from speaking."
The old woman mumbled and shut her mouth, sighing as she sat on the sickbed.
"All of you, be quiet!" Old Master He roared from his bed, panting heavily. "Get out! All of you, get out right now!"
Someone else wanted to speak, but Old Master He interrupted directly, "If anyone says another word, I'll change the will! The person who speaks won't get a single penny! Get out of here!"
No one dared to speak again. Dozens of people shuffled out, each with their own thoughts.
The entire He family remained motionless. Old Master He shouted at them, "Get out of here!"
It was just that the voice had softened a lot.
Grandfather He disliked his second son, Father He, and his daughter-in-law, Zhao Yu, the most. The two didn't dare to say much throughout the entire process and followed the crowd out.
"The second son and his daughter-in-law stay here!" Grandfather He said with a grim face.
He Fu and Zhao Yu responded with a nod, then walked back. The other members of the He family glanced at the two of them with various thoughts in their minds.
"Greetings, Old Master! Where is Hanchuan Why hasn't he arrived yet"
"I've already told him, he's on his way." He Father looked at He Grandfather's expression and added, "There was something urgent to deal with at the company just now, which delayed Hanchuan a bit of time."
Hearing this, Old Master He's face improved slightly. He snorted, “I heard that Hanchuan is with Xiang Wan again”
Ge Fu looked at Zhao Yu with a grim expression, but said nothing.
"For wealth, brothers turn against each other, and couples become enemies." Zhao Yu tactfully said, "Wanwan is devoted to Hanchuan. If the two of them were together, Hanchuan would have someone by his side who truly looked out for him."
"Hmph!" roared Old Master He, "Do you think I don't know your little schemes"
Zhao Yu lowered her head, saying nothing, only her face meticulously painted with makeup was a little pale.
"You're uneasy about the situation with Lao Er and Lao Lin's daughter, aren't you That's why you don't want Hanchuan to marry Qingran, is it" Old Master He slammed his fist on the table.
Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Mr. He let out a cold snort, "That boy Xiang Jianguo is short-sighted, chasing after petty profits. The Xiang Group may appear prosperous now, but it won't last long. It's no match for the Jiang Group at all!"
"Besides, A-Wai is a murderer! Are you guys letting the CEO of He Group marry a murderer Don't you think He Group's stock price is already high enough!"
Zhao Yu carefully said, "The car accident two years ago, there should have been some misunderstanding in the middle."
"Can you prove that A-Wan was framed by Jiang Qingran" Grandpa He glared with a puffed-up chest, "If you can't prove her innocence, Hanchuan marrying her would mean he's marrying a murderer in the eyes of others!"
