Lu Beichuan's face turned pale for a moment, and there was another moment of silence.

"It's because he is An Xia's last relative in this world that I have to do this."

The old lady's guess was constantly wavering. Seeing her grandson so lonely, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. She stopped blaming and teaching him, and softened her tone as she asked him.

"So why?"

Not wanting him to continue hiding the truth, the old lady gave him an ultimatum.

"If you don't tell me, I won't understand, but my position won't waver. I won't change what Aunt Liu said to you this morning. If I can't find a lawyer in Jiangcheng, I'll look for one all over the country. If I can't find a lawyer in the country who can file a divorce lawsuit with you, I'll look for one all over the world. I will definitely help An Xia file a divorce lawsuit with you as soon as possible."

The old lady's words were cruel and decisive.

Lu Beichuan was almost raised by the old lady alone, so he naturally understood that this was the old lady's last limit of tolerance, so he did not continue to hide it.

"It's not that I don't want to help him, it's that he..."

"Huaian, the test results of your friend's father are out. I took a look and the situation is not very optimistic."

On the other side, Shen Huaian was working overtime at Xinkang Hospital preparing for the handover of patients before leaving. He had just taken a two-minute break when he received a call from a teacher at the Municipal Hospital.

Hearing the word "not optimistic", Shen Huaian's face instantly tightened.

"Why not optimistic?"

"The possibility of cure is not very high. It can be said to be very slim." The old professor said: "And I didn't see the use of drugs to control the worsening of the disease as you said. But I found out that he was able to maintain his blood pressure and heart rate over the years because he had been taking drugs."

Shen Huaian frowned.

"What do you mean?"

The unlikely answer that I subconsciously identified in my mind kept getting bigger and bigger.

The old professor said: "What this means is that he should have died a few years ago. The reason he has been able to maintain his current condition over the years is entirely due to the drugs and money he spent."

Shen Huaian's heart collapsed.

The old professor asked in confusion, "That's strange. The life-saving drugs he has used over the years cost at least tens of millions a year. I saw your friend's clothes this afternoon and he didn't look like a rich man. How could he be willing to spend so much money to support a person who can't wake up at all?"

Shen Huaian's mouth suddenly became dry and he was unable to speak for a while.

"Forget it, forget it. You should tell your friend the truth. It will cost too much to keep dragging it out like this, and it's meaningless. You should persuade her to be more open-minded and stop obsessing over these things. If she lets go sooner, her father will be able to reach heaven sooner."

Shen Huaian nodded stiffly, his hands and feet were cold.

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Huaian was still in a daze for a long time.

This is the little trick Lu Beichuan did behind the scenes.

The reason why he kept it a secret from An Xia for so long was to conceal the fact that An Jianguo had no chance of recovery.

That An Xia...

If she knew... would she still be willing to divorce Lu Beichuan?

Shen Huaian didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to guess.

the other side.

The old house of the Lu family.

After hearing the truth from Lu Beichuan, the old lady leaned on the table with her hands, and was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.

Lu Beichuan sat on the chair opposite, head down, spinning the wedding ring on his left ring finger with his right hand. A melancholy atmosphere filled the air.

After a long time, the old lady gradually accepted this unchangeable fact and sat down slowly, her hands still tense and holding on to the edge of the table.

"But how long can you keep it a secret like this? She will find out sooner or later."

Lu Beichuan lowered his head and continued to turn the ring: "The money in my account is enough to keep it a secret from her for a lifetime."

The old lady was speechless.

This kid...

If he had opened his mouth more towards his wife, their relationship wouldn't have degenerated into what it is now.

The old lady stared at Lu Beichuan for a while, and finally sighed helplessly.

"So what are you going to do now? She has already transferred An Jianguo to another hospital. Once other doctors examine her, they will know that this matter cannot be concealed. You know An Xia's temper better than I do. If you don't explain it clearly to her, how can she forgive you? Even if I still help you and stand by you, do you think she will still listen to me and be nice to you?"

The old lady didn't have the heart to tell Lu Beichuan that this was no longer a reminder, but a statement of fact.

Last night, the old lady had already lost face for him, but the result was obvious and expected. An Xia would never accept it.

She is usually gentle, easy to talk to, and tolerant.

But once things get to the bottom line, An Xia will never tolerate it.

He is even so stubborn that he can't be persuaded at all.

"Alas, you shouldn't have hidden it from her. If you had let things develop naturally, she might have been more receptive to it." The old lady was helpless.

I don’t know what sins she committed in her previous life that caused her grandson’s love life to be so bumpy in this life.

Lu Beichuan paused as he twirled the ring.

"But if I hadn't done that, if I hadn't delayed An Jianguo's life and let his rescue fail, then Ming Xiyu would have been the one to decide."

There were only two people who witnessed the entire event.

Ming Xiyu and An Jianguo.

If one party is gone, the facts will be completely decided by the other party.

What's more, the Ming family was in a prosperous period back then. Even if any evidence favorable to An Jianguo was found, the Ming family could just deal with it directly.

"Do you think An Xia can accept both her father's death and the fact that he was the victim of an attempted rape?"

Lu Beichuan's question left the old lady speechless again.

Yes. No matter how you solve this problem, you can't achieve the best of both worlds.

"So what are your plans now? Go to the hospital where An Jianguo is staying and continue to collude and conceal the truth? Or just..."

Lu Beichuan pressed his eyebrows and said, "Let it be."

The Ming family's economy has been in recession for the past three years and is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past. If it weren't for the assistance of their friends' families, their status would be worse than those up-and-coming stars in Jiangcheng's circles in recent years.

The Lu family wants to stop them and they can’t do anything.

Without any evidence, and relying only on Ming Xiyu's one-sided statement, and without any other power to help, An Jianguo would not be able to convict anyone.

On the contrary, Lu Beichuan still has the bottle that Ming Xiyu used to hit people. If An Xia wants to sue Ming Xiyu for negligent injury, she has evidence.

The old lady immediately understood Lu Beichuan's plan.

First bow your head and pretend to be obedient, then secretly cut off the forces that the Ming family depends on, so that they gradually lose their ability. Then counterattack at this time and catch them off guard.

The old lady gave Lu Beichuan a meaningful look.

"You have good intentions."

Lu Beichuan said nothing.

"It's just that your intentions are good. An Xia may not understand." The old lady slowly stood up with the help of crutches, walked to Lu Beichuan, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I think you should find a chance to have a good talk with An Xia. Not many women want to know about their husbands from others."
