Chapter 137: His Gentleness and Attentiveness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Ding-ling, ding-ling.” The sound of the bell was unusually clear in the crowded hospital lobby, as if it were ringing right next to Lu Miao’s ear.
Lu Miao followed the sound of the bell and saw a little girl, around three or four years old, sitting on a man’s shoulder. She had two pigtails on her head, and her small hands tightly gripped the man’s short hair, causing his scalp to be raised due to the force. Her little feet dangled in front and swayed with the man’s movements.
Despite the bustling crowd, the little girl sat securely on his shoulders, seemingly unaffected by the commotion. The people around them seemed oblivious, as if they hadn’t seen a thing. Even when her little feet accidentally kicked the head of someone standing in line, that person didn’t pay any attention.
Sensing Lu Miao’s gaze, the little girl turned her head and looked at her. She blinked her big, bright eyes and then pointed at the corners of her lips, sticking out her tongue to make a funny face. There was a golden bell hanging from a collar around her neck. As she turned, the bell jingled, cutting through the crowd and directly reaching Lu Miao’s ears.
Lu Miao pursed her lips, turned around, and walked outside. She returned to Lingyue Manor, where Gu Jinxi had already come back. He was unusually diligent, working on his homework in his room. Gu Ziheng, on the other hand, was in the living room, holding his computer and having a serious remote conversation with the production team of their show, ‘Youth Trainees.” Their show was about to start airing, and it would directly compete with “Idol 99,” the show that Lu Siyu participated in.
With two talent shows airing simultaneously, there was bound to be one that would be overshadowed. Gu Ziheng’s show also had investments from Lu Miao, so even for her sake, he absolutely couldn’t be the one to be overshadowed.
Lu Miao looked around and went straight to Mansion No. 9 to study her herbs.
It had to be said that Gu Shiyu was truly meticulous. Every corner of the plant racks was rounded to ensure that she wouldn’t be scratched. The height of each rack was customized according to her own height, so she didn’t need to tiptoe or bend over. Everything was just right.
By the time she finished her busy work and returned home, the sky outside had already darkened, and Auntie Xiu had already prepared dinner. They all sat down at the dining table, and Lu Miao instinctively looked at the vacant seat next to her.
Auntie Xiu spoke, “Should we wait for Second Master, or should I call him?”
Lu Miao thought for a moment. It was indeed inappropriate to let the dignified Mr Gu eat leftovers.
She took out her phone and called Gu Shiyan.
To her surprise, Gu Shiyu, who usually answered her calls almost immediately and never let it ring more than twice, didn’t pick up this time. The call ended automatically, and she heard the beeping sound indicating that it wasn’t answered.
Lu Miao looked at the hung-up call and pursed her lips slightly.
“Forget it, Second Sister-in-law, there’s no need to call. Poor Second Brother must have been called home by Grandma again. “Gu Jinxi gloated. Lu Miao was about to put down the phone when it suddenly rang.
She looked down at the screen. It was Gu Shiyan.
Lu Miao’s fingertips swiped the answer button. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Qinghe’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Miaomiao, tell Ziheng and Jinxi to go home immediately.”
“Alright.”
Lu Miao did not ask further. She had been in the Gu family for so long, and Shen Qinghe had always been dignified and magnanimous. She had never seen her so flustered.
She counted with his fingers and frowned.
She stood up and said,” The two of you, come back to the Gu residence with me.”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Auntie Xiu hurriedly said.
“Auntie Xiu, you don’t have to wait for us.”
Although Gu Jinxi and Gu Ziheng did not know what had happened, they could tell from Lu Miao’s expression that it was definitely not something good. They did not dare to delay any longer and immediately stood up to follow Lu Miao out the door.
Gu Ziheng was driving while Lu Miao sat in the backseat, her eyes slightly lowered as she looked at her phone, which was vibrating with messages. She replied with a brief “Understood” to each incoming message.
The three of them soon arrived at the Gu family estate. The estate was quite large, with a main mansion, two smaller buildings at the back, and an ancestral hall. The main mansion alone had over a dozen rooms, primarily used for the daily living of the Gu family members. The smaller buildings were used to accommodate guests and servants.
After Gu Shiyan’s accident, Grandma Gu had immediately instructed the conversion of one of the smaller buildings into a miniaturized family hospital. Inside, various advanced imported medical equipment was installed for monitoring Gu Shiyan’s health and providing emergency treatment when necessary. In addition, the Gu family had a dedicated family doctor on standby at all times. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the medical equipment in this family hospital was more advanced and complete than some external hospitals.
The lights were on in the building at the back. The three of them headed straight there.
Grandma Gu sat on the sofa in front of the clinic room, holding a string of prayer beads, her eyes closed. Shen Qinghe paced anxiously by her side, while Gu Xingyu kept staring intently at the door next to her.
Gu Ziheng and Lu Miao felt a slight tension in their hearts. Gu Ziheng hurriedly approached Shen Qinghe and asked, “Mom, is Shiyan just getting a health check inside?”
Ever since Gu Shiyan’s accident, Grandma Gu arranged for doctors to come and conduct regular check-ups whenever she returned home.
Seeing Lu Miao following behind them, Gu Xingyu immediately became furious. “You jinx! How dare you come back here!”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and rushed towards Lu Miao. Gu Ziheng stepped forward, directly blocking Lu Miao and grabbing Gu Xingyu’s hand, pushing her aside.
“What are you doing?” he scolded sternly.
“Third Brother, Shiyan is dying, and you’re still helping her!” Gu Xingyu cried tearfully.
Gu Ziheng furrowed his brow. “What happened to Shiyan?”
“Grandma arranged for a team of specialists to conduct a check-up on Shiyan after dinner. Shiyan had just returned home when that death-urging phone call from Lu Miao came in. Before he could answer the call, he collapsed.” Gu Xingyu blamed Lu Miao with teary eyes. “It’s all her fault. If it wasn’t for her, Shiyan wouldn’t be like this. I’m telling you, Lu Miao, if anything happens to my Shiyan today, I will kill you to accompany him in death!”
“Gu Xingyu, that’s enough. What does Second Brother’s matter have to do with Second Sister-in-law?”
Gu Ziheng scolded sternly.
He was also anxious that something had happened to Second Brother, but he could not say that about Second Sister-in -law.
Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with Second Sister-in-law. “What are you arguing about? Your second brother is not dead yet.”
Finally, Grandma Gu spoke up, looking at Shen Qinghe.. “What did the Lin family say? Have you contacted that Master Mountain River?”
