That night, Li Yunze called.

Just a few seconds after the call was answered, Li Mubai's originally cheerful expression instantly became solemn.

Jiang Li was watching TV. Seeing that Li Mubai's expression was becoming more and more gloomy, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After Li Mubai hung up the phone, she immediately asked anxiously: "What happened?"

Li Mubai walked towards her and said briefly: "Grandpa is seriously ill and is now in the hospital."

Hearing this news, Jiang Li's face suddenly changed. After all, Li Zhendong is already over 80 years old. If he suddenly falls ill at such an age, the situation may not be optimistic...

Jiang Li didn't dare to delay for a moment, and quickly stood up and walked to the clothes rack to take down their coats.

“I’ll go to the hospital with you.”

When we arrived at the hospital, Li Zhendong had already come out of the emergency room.

But the doctor's expression did not show any sign of relief.

Seeing Li Yunze and Li Mubai coming over, the doctor told everyone with a serious face: "Although he has been rescued, the old man's condition is not optimistic. I suggest that we make some necessary preparations first..."

Funerals in wealthy families are always particularly grand, and if one really wants to prepare for them, it will not be a matter of a day or two.

In the old man's case, the most optimistic estimate is that he will only survive for a week.

If we don't prepare now, there will be chaos later.

and so……

The doctor's words hit every member of the Li family like a bolt from the blue, making them feel as if they were about to suffocate under the weight of a heavy burden.

There was silence.

No one said a word.

At this moment, everyone was trying hard to hold back their grief, but in the end, it was Chen Cuiying's sobbing that broke the silence. People are not plants, so who can be heartless? After all these years of getting along, Chen Cuiying and Li Zhendong had already developed feelings for each other, although she used to be fussy and complained about the old man's partiality. But at this critical moment of life and death, Chen Cuiying felt only reluctance and sadness.

But now is not the time to be sad.

Time is running out, and we must cherish every minute and every second with Li Zhendong.

After a while, Li Mubai choked up and said, "Let's go in and see Grandpa first. Everyone, clean up."

Li Canghai wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely, and Li Yunze also blinked fiercely, took several deep breaths, and swallowed the breath stuck in his chest.

Afterwards, everyone walked into the ward one after another and surrounded Li Zhendong.

Li Zhendong is not awake yet.

Everyone walked in quietly, found a seat, sat around him, and waited quietly for him to wake up.

The ward was filled with a suffocating silence, broken only by occasional sobs. Everyone's eyes were wet, but they tried hard not to let their tears flow, fearing that they would disturb the weak Li Zhendong on the bed. However, the pain deep in their hearts surged like a tide and could not be suppressed.

Half an hour later, Li Zhendong slowly woke up and saw all his children and grandchildren gathered around him. Their eyes were red and their faces were pale. He probably had some idea in his mind.

In fact, how is his own body? Isn't it clear to him?

Finally, it has come to the point where the fuel is running out!

"Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon. You should save up your tears first."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunze was the first to be unhappy. With red eyes and a flat mouth, he said, "Dad, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Zhendong waved his hands, coughed several times, and then said: "Everyone will die one day, and even if you really die, it's no big deal. Anyway, you are all grown up now and can take care of yourselves, so I have nothing to worry about."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Cuiying could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

"Dad, you..."

As soon as Chen Cuiying started crying, Li Canghai immediately poked her gently.

At times like this, the most taboo thing is to cry in front of the patient. Even if it is very difficult to hold back, you have to hold it back.

After being stabbed several times, Chen Cuiying tried again and again and finally swallowed back her tears.

"I know my body well. I can't live a hundred years, but I won't die anytime soon. You guys go back first and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow."

"I want to be alone tonight. Tomorrow, I have something to tell you. You can prepare what needs to be prepared. I won't worry about this anymore. I've been worrying about it all my life. It's my turn to mess it up now."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

The old man is lying here. How can he get a good rest when he goes back?

But the old man looked like he just wanted to be alone and quiet.

He has toiled all his life, fought all his life, lived a glorious and honorable life for half his life. Perhaps at this moment, he has many things to recall and many things to entrust.

He needs to think carefully about what to do and what to say in the little time left in his life.

Leave some words for your children and grandchildren.

Everyone looked at each other, Li Mubai gave everyone a look, and everyone went out together.

When Li Canghai came out, he couldn't stand all of a sudden. Fortunately, Chen Cuiying supported him. His face was pale and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Li Yunze walked out woodenly, his eyes seemed to have lost focus. Xue Lulu just came over at this time. When Xue Lulu held his hand, his tears fell down.

He choked in his throat several times and squeezed out a difficult sentence: "Lulu, I...my dad..."

Xue Lulu: "Yunze, I'm here. I'm with you, I'm with you!"

Although she tried to comfort him, Xue Lulu couldn't control herself and her tears flowed, even more than Li Yunze's.

She didn't want to cry now, and she also wanted to be Li Yunze's support, but when she saw him crying, she felt distressed, as if she had also suffered the pain he was suffering now.

Jiang Li and Li Mubai did not speak. They were both silent, and only their cold hands holding each other inadvertently revealed their feelings.

Although the old man wanted to be alone and quiet, it was impossible for everyone to go home.

So we discussed it and decided to arrange shifts.

Li Yunze will stay tonight to keep watch. Tomorrow from 8am to 2pm, Li Canghai and Chen Cuiying will come. After 2pm, Jiang Li will take over. From 12pm to pm, Li Mubai will come.

Li Mubai was given daytime time because things happened too suddenly and many things in the company still needed him to arrange.

Li Canghai's body couldn't stay up all night, nor could he stay by the bed all the time, so he was asked to take care of the patient during the day. This way he could fulfill his filial piety and he wouldn't be too tired.

Li Yunze has always been a night owl and is not afraid of staying up late for a few days. He will wait until Li Mubai has arranged the company's affairs and then take over for him.

After arranging the time, everyone went home.

On the way back, it finally came to the final moment.

The Li family members entered the ward one after another to listen to Li Zhendong's final instructions and arrangements. Although everything that should be said had been said these days, it was also a thought to leave a few more words for the descendants.

Li Canghai, Li Yunze and Li Mubai went in one after another.

Everyone had a pale face when they went in, and had red eyes when they came out.

Li Yunze came out and Li Mubai went in.

Perhaps because he was the successor of the Li family and Li Zhendong gave him many instructions, Li Mubai stayed in the ward much longer than others.

He didn't cry, but his face was red, and it looked very painful to endure.

But Li Mubai took several deep breaths at the door, walked up to Jiang Li, and said, "Grandpa asked you to come in."
