“You’re not happy?” Shen Fu had a smile on his face as he watched Lin ShuYi shuffle around. Even though he was expressionless, he could still feel that he was unhappy.

Lin ShuYi turned around, clearly annoyed by him saying too much.

Shen Fu laughed, “Pff. If you’re not happy about grandpa selling the house, then why didn’t you tell him?”

Lin ShuYi stayed silent for a while, before saying, “That’s grandpa’s house.”

Shen Fu nodded in agreement, it was old man Yang’s house so they couldn’t say anymore. Even if they thought he shouldn’t sell it. He then said, “Then don’t be so unhappy, grandpa knows what his doing.”

Lin ShuYi nodded. He understood that old man Yang knew what he was doing and he realized that he couldn’t say much about it. It’s just that he didn’t think old man Yang’s son or grandson deserved it. He never had parents in his previous life, only a mentor and this life, he still didn’t have them, only old man Yang. Thus, he couldn’t understand why old man Yang would give so much even after knowing what his son and grandson were like.

As he was thinking, Xiao Wan’s grandma came. Once she took a look around and saw that old man Yang wasn’t there, she knew where he went. “Went to the city?”

Lin ShuYi nodded as pulled up a chair for Xiao Wang’s grandma to sit. She shook her hand and said, “It’s fine, I’m just here to take a look. I didn’t think he would actually go. Sigh, old man Yang’s just too soft hearted.”

As she spoke, Lin ShuYi’s phone started ringing. It took a while before Shen Fu pointed at his pocket and said, “You’re phone’s ringing.”

Only then did Lin ShuYi react. With confusion he pulled out his phone and it displayed an unknown number from an unknown caller. There was only three people who knew his number and that was old man Yang, Shen Fu and Xiao Wan. Shen Fu was beside him, old man Yang didn’t have a cellphone, and he saved Xiao Wan’s number, so then who was calling him?

Tilting his head, Lin ShuYi picked up the phone.

“Hello, is is this Yang CongJun’s son?” From the other side of the phone came an old man’s voice with a hint of anxiousness. Yang CongJun? Lin ShuYi narrowed his eyes, that was old man Yang’s full name. A feeling of uneasy rose as Lin ShuYi asked with a lowered voice, “What happened to grandpa?”

The other side first paused a bit before asking, “You’re Yang CongJun’s grandson?”

Lin ShuYi thought about it and confirmed, then he asked again, “What happened to grandpa?”

The voice from the other side finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Quick, come to the General Hospital, you’re grandpa passed out!”

Lin ShuYi’s pupils shrunk and he asked with a cold voice, “The General Hospital?”

“Yes, he’s in the emergency room right now, hurry up and come!.”

Before he could finish, Lin ShuYi ended the call and turned to run out the door.

Shen Fu quickly grabbed hold of his hand and said, “What happened to grandpa?”

Lin ShuYi’s face was pale white and his eyes wavered, “He said grandpa passed out and was in the emergency room.” He knew what emergency treatment meant, but he didn’t understand how. When old man Yang went out this morning, he was fine.

Shen Fu’s expression also changed. Xiao Wan’s grandma was just about to go, but hearing this, also came up and asked, “What happened to old man Yang?” But before Lin ShuYi could explained, she mumbled to herself, “Never mind, I won’t ask. You guys go, look after each other and leave this store to me, I’ll help you close the doors.” To have them take on such an expression, she knew it was serious. Now it wasn’t the time to ask around and for once, she didn’t bother with the gossip.

Lin ShuYi didn’t say anything, so Shen Fu nodded towards Xiao Wan’s grandma as he held his wrist, “Then we’ll be going.”

Xiao Wan’s grandma replied, “Go, go.”

So Shen Fu pulled the dumbfounded Lin ShuYi outside and said, “No matter what happened, the fact that he is in the hospital means he’s being treated.”

Lin ShuYi finally came back to his senses and asked, “How do you know where the hospital is?”

Shen Fu smiled, comforting him, “I don’t know, but there is something called a taxi.”

There was a bit of distance between Chao Yang Street and the city center, but it wasn’t during the rush hour, so the roads were not packed. The taxi drove quickly as well, but even then, that couldn’t stop Lin ShuYi from looking outside with a restless expression.

Even the taxi driver was affected by this silent pressure and became nervous. He even turned off the radio and pressed hard on the gas pedal the moment the lights turned green.

Thus when they arrived at the emergency room of the hospital, it only took forty minutes. As the taxi driver wiped off his sweat, he said, “We’re here.”

Lin ShuYi immediately flew out the door, it was with such vigor that the driver almost forgot about asking for the money.

Shen Fu handed him a red bill with a human head (President Mao, $100 Yuan) and said with a smile, “Sorry, we’re in a hurry, no need for change.”

The driver nodded, at least there was something comforting about this whole experience.
