After the trivial chat, Hong Weiguo, Hong Dali, Liu Mingcheng, and the driver Wang Mingyu instantly went upstairs.
Very quickly, they reached the 36th floor. Upon seeing Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui instantly walked over and apologized. “Weiguo, I shan’t say any more about those things in the business field. I asked to see you and Dali today to make peace. My Mother left very early, and I only have my Father left now. You can state any condition, but show kindness for my old Father. Please help him!”
Liu Mingxin also said to Hong Dali, “Young Master Dali, do you think...”
Hong Weiguo didn’t really put those things in the business field to heart. Competition was competition, he wouldn’t be laughing over their misfortune now. If he didn’t have this kind of magnitude of heart, he wouldn’t have achieved his current success. Therefore, he just smiled, waved his hand and said, “There isn’t a need to mention past events. Since I’m here today, I have naturally shown my intent. Yup, what did the doctor said?”
Upon mention of his Dad’s condition, Liu Yihui turned gloomy. “Stomach cancer early stage. It isn’t very serious now, but the doctor said that it may worsen. If my Dad stays in the hospital and receives treatment, he can still hang on for two more years. If not...”
Hong Weiguo frowned and said, “But staying in such an environment, it isn’t good too. If you ask him to accept treatment right away, he may get agitated. That may not end well.”
“That’s what I am worried about too.” Liu Yihui looked at Hong Dali. “Young Master Dali’s luck is always very good, that’s why I invited the two of you here. The doctor is still inside now. When he comes out, I will like to ask Young Master Dali to... To go in and chat with my Dad first...”
“Oh, that’s not a problem. ” Hong Dali looked at the door to the ward and sniffled. “However, I have to say beforehand that it isn’t a problem to make him happy, but I don’t guarantee that he will be cured...”
“It’s enough to be able to make my Dad happy!” Liu Yihui hurriedly nodded. “I’m already very grateful that the two of you can put our differences aside and come to see him. I don’t dare to ask for more. From now on, as long as Young Master Dali needs my help, just say the word, I will definitely do my best to help!”
Hearing that, Hong Weiguo instantly nodded in his heart.
This precious son of his was very important to him. Other things aside, just the benefits that Hong Dali could gain was already worth the trip. Also, it was a good deed to save someone’s life.
As for the differences between their families, those were just small matters, what’s was in the past, was in the past. Also, there weren’t eternal enemies in the business field in the first place. If he couldn’t see this fact, he wouldn’t be the Hong Weiguo he was now.
Very quickly, the ward door was gently pushed open and the doctor came out. He softly said, “Are you guys the patient’s family? His condition is still quite stable now, but we can’t be sure when it will worsen. Therefore...”
Hong Dali couldn’t be bothered hearing his words. The doctors couldn’t do anything regarding cancer no matter how much money was spent, so there wasn’t a need to listen. Hong Dali directly pushed open the door and went in. The doctor tried to stop him. “Sir, the patient can’t be disturbed...”
“It’s fine, I will just be accompanying Grandfather Liu and chatting with him for a while!” Saying so, Hong Dali directly went in. The doctor was so anxious that he jumped on his feet. “I already said that the patient needs rest, but he still barged in!”
Liu Yihui hurriedly said, “It’s alright, this is my friend’s child. His heart is very good, he wouldn’t cause trouble.”
“Then... Alright.” The doctor helplessly shook his head. “Mr. Liu, I shan’t say anything extra. You are preparing to...”
Liu Yihui thought for a while and said, “Let’s observe his condition for a while more. It would be best if there isn’t a need to be hospitalized.”
“But if he doesn’t stay in the hospital...” The doctor was helpless. “Alright then. However, if there’s any problem with the patient, you need to inform me immediately and not delay!”
“Yup, I know.” Liu Yihui nodded. “Then, let’s wait and see first. Dali has gone in, let’s hope that it will be useful.”
“This child is studying to be a doctor?” The doctor was surprised. “He knows how to make a diagnosis and give treatment? But this is cancer...”
However, Liu Yihui reply almost caused the doctor to faint. “He doesn’t know how to be a doctor, but Young Master Dali’s luck has always been very good.”
“Is luck able to cure someone!?” The doctor felt like he had just heart of something bizarre. “This... This doesn’t seem to be very reliable...” Although he said that, he got curious too. “Then, I shall wait for a while and see what the situation is like!”
As they were discussing things out there, Hong Dali was dazed upon entering the room—the old man lying on the bed should be Liu Mingxin’s Grandfather, but who was the lady who was feeding him now?
Hong Dali carefully asked, “Is this Grandfather Liu? This... That... Am I interrupting the two of you?”
For wealthy people, it wasn’t rare for a 60 plus-years-old man to have a 20 plus-years-old lady as a spouse. Therefore, he needed to be certain. “Should I exit and leave the room to the two of you first?”
“Little rascal!” Liu Zhongyuan was amused upon hearing Hong Dali’s words. “You must be Hong Dali from the Hong Family, right? I have heard of you. Quick, come and seat! Xiao Ming, pour some tea for Young Master Dali.”
“OK, Grandfather.” Xiao Ming instantly went to make some tea.
“Grandfather Liu.” Hong Dali turned around and looked at Xiao Ming. “Is this... Your caretaker?”
“What caretaker.” Liu Zhongyuan laughed. “This is Mingxin’s girlfriend, a very good lady from the village. Her cooking is excellent and she is very good at taking care of people, I like her a lot.”
“Oooh.” Hong Dali’s eyes lit up. “Old Liu has finally been enlightened? He knows to find a girlfriend now. Haha, I shall be waiting for his wedding drink, then. I have really heard very happy news today!”
Then, he carefully sized up Xiao Ming and secretly nodded in his heart.
This Xiao Ming was quite good looking. Although not as beautiful as Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin, she was at least on par with Sister Zishan. Her figure was quite good too, at about 1.64 meters tall. Especially her hair which was tied into a ponytail, shiny and black, very pretty.
While Hong Dali was excitedly discussing her, Xiao Ming’s face was red from shyness, her head almost buried into her chest...
“Little rascal, your mouth is really sweet.” Liu Zhongyuan smilingly scolded. “I have heard quite a lot about you, you are quite an amazing person. Did you come here today to make me happy? Did Yihui send you? Sigh, this child, it’s really hard on him to beg others for my sake. This is really...”
“Grandfather Liu, look at what you are saying.” Hong Dali didn’t agree with his words. “Which child wouldn’t wish for their parents to live longer? If my Dad was ill or something, I would be like this too. It’s normal. Oh right.” Hong Dali took out the pair of health balls from his bag. “Grandfather Liu, try this. I specially brought them here for you. This is a really good item, it can help to improve your health!”
“Oh? There’s such a good item?” Liu Zhongyuan smiled and took it. He played with them a bit, nodded and said, “You don’t say, this item is really quite good. They must have cost quite a bit, right?”
“Small money, it’s just small money!” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “Grandfather Liu, do you feel better now?”
“Hm...” Liu Zhongyuan turned the balls in his hand a few more rounds, his expression becoming more and more surprised. “This thing is really good, my body feels more comfortable now. Yup, this is a good item, this is indeed a good item! Little rascal, you are actually willing to give me such a good item?”
“It’s my duty to show filial respect to my elders.” Hong Dali grinned. “As long as you play with this every day, you will definitely live up to 100 years old!”
Oh my, looks like it’s indeed useful. That’s great!
It’s understandable if you think about it. For a patient, their health was definitely very low. The additional stats might not be obvious on someone with 100 health points, but it would definitely become obvious on someone who only had 20 or 30 plus health points.
This was the situation with Liu Zhongyuan now. He had stomach cancer and his health points were almost nearing the borderline limit, about 30 or so points. Once it dropped to 20, his condition would start to worsen and drop to zero in about two years.
But now, with these additional 7 points, his health points were now at 37, increasing by about a quarter. His’ body’s immunity increased by about a quarter, which would have quite a useful effect.
Even if he couldn’t live up to 100 years old, it shouldn’t be a problem to live for another five to eight years.
When the body and spirit feel better, the whole body condition would be different too. This was the case with Liu Zhongyuan now. Once his body felt better, he couldn’t bear to just sit there anymore. His left hand still playing with the health balls, his right hand pulled the blanket away and wanted to get down onto the floor. If it was someone else beside him, they would definitely ask him to lie down and rest, but Hong Dali was obviously not an ordinary person—this fellow directly helped Liu Zhongyuan to wear his shoes, smiled and said, “Grandfather Liu, shall we go out for a walk?”
“Then...” Liu Zhongyuan smiled. “Then let’s go for a walk!”
Therefore, before Xiao Ming finished brewing the tea, Liu Zhongyuan was already randomly walking around in the room. “Yup, I feel much better now. Dali, my mood immediately felt better when you came. Those kids, they are afraid that I will fall and injure myself, so they refused to let me get down and walk. Only you understand my feelings, haha.”
The more he said, the happier he was. Old people tend to dislike staying in hospitals. He walked for a bit more and then pulled the door open and walked out. He looked at Liu Yihui and curled his lips. “Little rascal, look at Dali, see how understanding he is of my feelings! What are you still standing there for? Let’s go for a walk!”
Liu Yihui, Hong Weiguo, Liu Mingxin, Liu Mingcheng, and the doctor were all stunned.
Liu Yihui slapped himself a few times. It hurt.
After being stunned for a while more, Liu Yihui anxiously shouted, “Old man, what are you walking so fast for? Wait for me!”
The doctor slapped himself a few times too. It hurt as well.
Then, in a daze, he walked towards his office. “I definitely didn’t sleep well today, definitely...”
Liu Mingcheng also slapped himself a few times. “From now on, Young Master Dali is my biological brother, a biological one!”
Liu Mingxin also wanted to slap himself a few times—luckily, he tolerated the impulse to do so...
