Chapter 36: Saved A Life

At the mention of Uncle Lee’s daughter, Qiao Dongliang did not know how he could console him.

Uncle Lee had three sons and a daughter. He doted very much on the only daughter.

Uncle Lee wanted his daughter to find someone she loved and lead a happy life. He had no thoughts of establis.h.i.+ng connections through her marriage.

But Lee Shu was lucky. It was by coincidence that she fell in love with the son of the Zhu family. Their relations.h.i.+p was going smoothly and they tied the knot in around a year’s time and she was pregnant in less than three months’ time.

But what was heartbreaking was that Lee Shu did not live to see the child. When she went into the labor, everything went smoothly. She had the baby through natural delivery.

But no-one would have expected that after giving birth, she would have a hemorrhage.

Lee Shu’s blood type was quite common, but it just so happened that the blood bank ran out of that particular blood type on that day.

Her mother stayed behind to take care of the daughter. But her blood type did not match and so she could not donate her blood to her.

When Elder Lee and his three sons arrived, they were not in time to donate their blood to Lee Shu.

And so, only a few hours after she brought the baby into this world, Lee Shu did not even get to take a glimpse of her child and she had pa.s.sed away.

Lee Shu’s death came as a blow to Lee family and Zhu family. Elder Lee even forbade everyone to speak of his pitiful daughter in front of him.

“Oh.” Elder Lee let out a long sigh. “I am old, I am no longer as clear minded as before. Now I always make mistakes and do silly things.”

Qiao Dongliang could not help but blush in embarra.s.sment when he heard Elder Lee’s words. He was not as old as Elder Lee. Yet he had done quite a lot of stupid things, in particular, matters regarding his younger daughter. Forget it, he did not want to talk about them, he would only be more frustrated about it.

“Xiao Shu was gone. No matter how heartbroken we are, Xiao Shu will never come back. Xiao Shu left us with the only son Bao Guo. She risked her life to have him. If he is gone, I… I wouldn’t be able to face Xiao Shu when I died.”

Elder Lee’s eyes turned red.

“Has anything happened to Baoguo?” Qiao Dongliang realized something was wrong. “I remembered Baoguo is a year older than Nan Nan. He should be in secondary three now?”

“Yes, he is in secondary three now. He is in the same school as Nan Nan.”

“He is cla.s.smates with Nan Nan. They are all in the same cla.s.s.” Qiao Dongliang was surprised. He never thought that the maternal grandchild of Uncle Lee would be in the same cla.s.s as his younger daughter. “Nan Nan, has something happened to your cla.s.smate?”

“Zhu Baoguo, my cla.s.smate?” Qiao Nan was confused. Half a month had pa.s.sed since school reopened. But she had no idea she had a cla.s.smate by the name of Zhu Baoguo.

Qiao Nan twitched her lips and did not know what to say. “Among all my cla.s.smates, there isn’t someone by the name of Zhu Baoguo. But I haven’t seen my desk mate since school reopened.”

She connected the dots and realized that her desk mate was the maternal grandchild of Elder Lee.

But what did this have to do with her. Before coming to their house, Elder Lee had no idea how she had fared in her exams. There was no way that he was here to ask that she coached his grandson in his studies.

“It’s fate. It’s all fate.”

Elder Lee was shocked as well. He never thought that his grandson would be “related” to Qiao Nan in so many ways. “Nan Nan, on behalf of Lee family and Zhu family, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving our Baoguo.”

The situation was different for Lee family, Elder Lee had three sons and two grandchildren.
