The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Lu Jingshen went out early in the morning, and Gu Qingze called him to go to the hospital.

Gu Qingze was off today, so he sat at his desk in casual clothes with a medical record file in front of him.

"What's the problem?" Lu Jingshen walked in and sat down and said calmly.

"Do you know about your grandfather's illness?"

"What disease could he have?" Lu Jingshen raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"He fainted last night. Aren't you worried?"

"He has done this kind of thing of pretending to be sick many times."

"It seems you don't know. Take a look at this." Gu Qingze took the medical record in front of him, stood up and walked over, handed it to Lu Jingshen and said.

"What is this?" he asked, taking the medical record.

Gu Qingze glanced at the thing in his hand, indicating that he would understand after looking at it.

Open the medical record.

Patient's name: Lu Zhenye

Diagnosis: Nodules of irregular size and shape under the left pleura and beside the interlobar pleura, obstructive pneumonia, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, and the mass invading the pericardium and trachea.

"What do you mean?" His heart moved slightly and his brows furrowed. He didn't quite understand medical terms, but Gu Qingze's performance yesterday and today suddenly gave him a bad feeling.

"Advanced stage lung cancer!" Gu Qingze replied briefly and earnestly.

"Impossible, he doesn't have any symptoms." Unable to accept Gu Qingze's statement for a moment, Lu Jingshen threw the medical report aside, his brows furrowed.

"Actually, there were symptoms, but the old man wanted to hide it, so no one knew about it. I went to listen to his lungs last night and found something wrong. The echo in his lungs was not good, but the old man insisted that he was not sick. Your family situation is complicated, so I can't say it clearly." This is why he suggested going to the hospital for a detailed examination last night.

“Is it possible that the diagnosis was wrong?”

"The old man has come for screening three times."

"I only learned about this news last night after I went to your house and my father asked me about your grandfather's condition. I then went to the hospital to check his medical records and called to inform you after I checked them."

"Have you checked the inspection report? Are you sure it's his, and he didn't use someone else's inspection report to impersonate someone else?" Lu Jingshen asked cautiously again. After all, he knew very well that the old man was really capable of such a thing. In order to let him manage the Lu family's large and small industrial chains over the years, he had used this method many times!

"It should be true. There are detailed inspection data for the three times."

"Is there any way to treat it?"

"I read all his detailed medical reports and his wishes, and decided to let nature take its course. Treatment might even have the opposite effect."

He frowned and remained silent for a long time.

“How long is the maximum deadline?”

"If we had used medication to treat it when it was discovered, it might not be a problem in three to five years... The old man has never taken any medication. His condition should last no longer than four months, and that's under an optimistic scenario..."

"...His condition is not optimistic." Gu Qingze added.

When she came downstairs, the room was empty.

I took out my cell phone and called him, but the phone rang for a long time before it was connected.

"Where have you been, Lu Jingshen?"

"I'll go back for a while, and someone will bring breakfast to you in a while." His tone was flat, and no unusual emotion could be heard in his voice.

Within two minutes, someone brought her breakfast.

The Lu family was as quiet and peaceful as usual. Some time ago, in order to prevent people from knowing that he was ill, Mr. Lu took advantage of the situation and drove out all the people living in the old house.

Now only he, Lu Cheng, and the Lu family's servants are left in the old house.

After Lu Jingshen entered the house, he went towards the small attic. The door was not closed, and he could hear constant coughing and vomiting sounds from outside the house.

After everything in the room calmed down, he walked in with an expressionless face.

"Young Master, you're here!" Lu Cheng said in surprise when he saw Lu Jingshen appear.

"Uncle Cheng, please go out first." He walked into the room and gave the order directly.

After receiving the old man's eye signal, Lu Cheng walked out of the room and closed the door casually.

"The sun rose from the west today!" The old man lying on the bed was in poor spirits, and his voice was a little weaker than last night.

His cheerful expression looked different from his usual look when he was pretending to be sick. If he was pretending, he didn't have such good acting skills in the past to act so convincingly. The messy medicines and vomit beside the bed proved that he was indeed not feeling well. Lu Jingshen's heart sank. It seemed that he was really sick this time. He actually hoped that the old man was pretending to be sick to deceive him as usual.

"What's the reason for not receiving treatment? No money? This reason is too far-fetched." Standing beside the bed, his face was solemn.

"I know you have resentment in your heart. You blame me for ignoring what your second uncle did, which made you lose your father's love since childhood, and you blame me for driving your mother away without knowing the reason." He was sitting on the edge of the bed, with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Even when he was old and sick, he was still full of energy. You couldn't tell that he was suffering from a terminal illness.

"After I die, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't end up destroying the Lu family."

"...Huh, trying to make up for it by dying?"

"Even though I tried my best to bring you together with the little girl from the Lin family, I can't do that?"

"You have been planning this for a long time!" She exposed him without reservation, otherwise why would he always introduce her to Lu Jingchuan and Lu Jingcheng to provoke him, and use the illness to force him to have a fake relationship with Lin Qing.

"I just want to hand over Shengshi to you. If you really don't want to, I won't force you."

After coughing for a while, Lu Jingshen helped him sit down at the head of the bed, and the old man waved his hand to signal him to move away.

Lu Jingshen sat on the chair in the bedroom.

"Ran girl should have told you that whoever she marries will be in charge of Shengshi. If you don't, there are others who will. Jingchuan is not as capable as you, but he is not that bad. After you cancel the engagement, the wedding will be held as usual, but it will be Ran girl and Jingchuan who will hold the wedding."

"You're so sick, and you're still trying to match people up?" The anxious and angry man frowned.

"I promised old man Lin that I would marry his granddaughter to the future chairman of Shengshi. If you give up Shengshi, it means you have given up the opportunity to marry her!" The old man spoke with a calm look. Even under the strong pressure from Lu Jingshen, he was not afraid at all. At the moment, he was full of morale.

"I just said I don't want to care, I didn't say I don't care!"

"I won't force it. I've already told Jingchuan that if you don't give up, he'll take your place. It's useless even if you're unhappy. If I don't do this, I won't have the face to explain to Old Man Lin."

"If you want me to take charge, hand over the power to me!"

"Are you sure?" the old man asked tentatively.

"How about waiting for you to match me up with someone else?"

"Lu Cheng, go get the things." Mr. Lu then ordered Lu Cheng to get a stack of documents that needed Lu Jingshen's signature.
