Chapter 188 - Prologue To Confrontation (1/2)
“Father is fine You know his condition; he’s unconscious as always He wouldn’t know even if you come visit him,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
“Tian-Yin, he is your father but he islanced at Xia Lei He nodded and she said, “All right, I’ll take you to him”
Shentu Tian-Yin walked towards Shentu Ren’s room and Xia Lei also stood to follow
“What are you co darkly
Xia Lei looked at him “This isn’t your house, so why do you care?”
Shentu Tian-Feng was rooted to the ground in anger but he did not act upon his anger Xia Lei had dared to scold hiht in front of so many of the Shentu clan, much less here in this villa He had no idea how to deal with people like Xia Lei
‘Let’s see how long you can stay so arrogant You made a person like Gu Ke-Wu your enemy for this bitch Tian-Yin - just wait, you’ll end up in hell’ thought Shentu Tian-Feng to hiht
Shentu Tian-Yin opened the room door and the three men followed her in
Shentu Ren lay quietly on the bed, his face withered and his body a bag of bones There was no difference from his previous condition except for a little bit of colour in his cheeks and the slightly stronger rising and falling of his chest However, the healthier blush in his cheeks was not very visible under the war of his chest was also not discernable if one had not learnt so had not studied e and they didn’t even think of the possibility of so Shentu Ren only because they wanted to know if he was still alive, so the father-and-son did not observe Shentu Ren’s current condition closely
“Brother? Big brother?” Shentu Yi faked concern “I’ve co also chipped in some crocodile tears, “Uncle, I’ve come to see you too” He added more lines, “It was lively when you were at our old place; ood care of you But now you’re here all alone, cold and isolated You must be unhappy, huh?”
Shentu Yi spoke up too “Tian-Yin, I think we should take e the company - ill you find ti your father at the fa here all alone with no one to talk to him - how lonely, how pitiful”
Xia Lei couldn’t help his laugh “Oh, how touching Did you all visit Uncle to talk to hiry look “You have no say here”
Shentu Tian-Yin reached to put her arm around Xia Lei’s waist “He is my fiancé and can also be considered my father’s son-in-law - if he has no say, then who does?”
Shentu Yi held his hand up “Okay, Tian-Yin, I knew you’d protect this punk I didn’t coue We are fa we can’t clear I came to tell you that Grandfather has fallen ill after you left and has not recovered since The doctors say his life is in danger and he’s a man of many years - he o visit him”
“Grandfather is ill? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Shentu Tian-Yin looked worried “Which hospital is he in now?”
“At Tian-Ci Sanatorium,” said Shentu Yi, “Coently in the back of her leg
Shentu Tian-Yin took the hint and said, “It’s late now Better to go torandfather Aren’t you going to see hi on any to see hi chimed in, “Yeah, Tian-Yin Grandpa actually liked you best ere children Aren’t you going to visit him now that he’s old and sickly? He wants to see you - and he’s in a serious state too Can’t you fulfil this small wish of his?”
Shentu Tian-Yin hesitated
Xia Lei spoke up, “Tian-Yin, you should go visit your grandfather I’ll go with you I wonder where this Tian-Ci Sanatorium is? How co snorted an said ly, “I heard you were a brick-mover at construction sites It’s normal for people like you to have not heard of Tian-Ci Sanatorium It’s a private hospital with the most advanced medical equipment and the best et treatment there”
Shentu Tian-Yin wrinkled her brows “Big Brother Tian-Feng, Xia Lei is my fiancé so you watch your words I don’t want to hear what you said earlier”
Shentu Tian-Feng smiled “Sure, I won’t say that he was a brick-mover at construction sites next time Will this do?”
“You…” Shentu Tian-Yin was mad
Xia Lei pulled her by the hand and said with a laugh, “Tian-Yin, I was originallybricks at construction sites and I’ve welded too There’s no need to treat it as an unspeakable thing Let the on one’s own efforts to work and feed oneself is not anything shameful; every hard worker is worthy of respect Let’s talk about Tian-Ci Sanatoriuue - what use was it even if they won a verbal fight?
“It’s on an island I know that place; my father was there for a period of time We’d need an hour by boat but it’s much quicker by helicopter,” said Shentu Tian-Yin
“We already have a helicopter ready before we came Use the helicopter, you’ll arrive at Tian-Ci Sanatorium quickly,” said Shentu Yi
“How about you two?” said Shentu Tian-Yin
“We’d just returned fro How about this - I’ll tell the pilot to fly over now It can take off from here, no problelanced at Xia Lei
Xia Lei laughed “I’hts so I don’t want to ride in a helicopter Can you arrange for a boat, Tian-Yin? I’d like to go by boat We can admire the seascape that way too”
