Miss Lu is charming and seductive, and she hooks Mr. Ji into a

He rushed over to the bed with the letter in his hand.

If Special Assistant Wang hadn't stopped him, he would have fallen directly onto the hospital bed.

"Miss Lu, I was planning to personally deliver this letter to you yesterday, but I didn't expect that my unfilial son would have evil intentions towards you. I'm here to say sorry to you, Miss Lu."

Lu Tang sat on the hospital bed and looked at him. The guilty expression on his face did not seem fake.

Lu Tang was still young at that time and didn't remember much about his mother.

She took the envelope and took the letter out.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, I felt a sore nose.

"She sent someone to deliver this letter the day before the conference started that year." Xu Li said in a heavy tone.

Lu Tang's fingers stroked every stroke of the letter, and tears fell uncontrollably, wetting the letter paper.

There was only one sentence written on it:

Xu Li, I won't be going tomorrow. The rest of the conference is up to you. You must manage it with all your heart and without any sloppiness. If the opportunity arises, we'll meet again.

This sentence has already expressed the farewell in a euphemistic way.

Lu Tang was shocked. Could it be that his mother knew at this time that he was going to... disappear?

"Your mother's disappearance...if nothing unexpected happens, it must be man-made." Xu Li also guessed it.

Lu Tang clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.

She folded the letter and put it carefully back into the envelope.

"How did you find me? Why are you so sure that I will come this time?" She raised her eyes, with a hint of caution in them.

Now, no matter who it is, as long as they had contact with her mother in the past, she would be cautious.

Xu Li looked out the window, his tone becoming low: "Your mother has been kind to me. Without your mother, there would be no Xu family today."

"I was just a small tailor at that time. It was your mother who discovered me and promoted me. That's how I got to where I am today. Your mother is very kind."

"After she disappeared, I have been looking for her. I didn't find your mother, but I found you. Even if you don't come this time, I will go to the capital and deliver this letter to you personally."

Lu Tang's heart trembled, and he felt very uncomfortable: "I understand, Mr. Xu, you go first."

Her mother's disappearance was intentional by someone else, and she couldn't accept it and wanted to calm down.

Seeing Lu Tang like this, Xu Li's eyes were full of heartache.

"Miss Lu, if you need any help, just ask. I will help you even if it costs me the entire Xu family." He looked at Lu Tang solemnly, and every word he said was loud and clear.

Lu Tang nodded slightly, then stood up and left.

In the ward, Lu Tang was in a daze for a long time.

This is City B, the home of Lu Tang’s grandmother and where her mother lived as a child.

Thinking of this, Lu Tang subconsciously took out his cell phone.

She hasn't visited her parents since she returned to China.

She had originally planned to visit City B when she had time, but one thing after another made her unable to move a step.

She happens to be in City B right now, and her flight is for next Monday, so she has plenty of time and can use it to spend some quality time with them.

"Assistant Wang, could you please take me to the eastern suburbs?" Lu Tang asked.

Special Assistant Wang refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I have to drive back to Beijing now. President Ji said we must arrive before dark. I'll call a taxi for you."

Lu Tang nodded, put on his coat and tidied himself up.

An hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the village in the eastern suburbs.

This is her grandmother's home in her memory.

As far as Lu Tang could remember, her mother had brought her here three times.

The last time she visited the two elders was three years ago when she went abroad.

Three years have passed, and I don't know if they still live here.

Before entering the door, Lu Tang also prepared some gifts. Although they were not many, they were her token of appreciation for the two elders.

Lu Tang stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

An old man's voice called her from behind.

"Xiaotang? Is that you? Am I dazzled again?"

Lu Tang turned around abruptly and looked at the old man in front of him with a hunched back and a head full of white hair.

"Grandma!" She quickly put down what she was holding and went to support her.

Before I even entered the house, my grandmother started shouting, "Old man, look who's here! Xiaotang is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with white hair emerged from the room.

Lu Tang looked at the two old men, the excitement in his heart was indescribable.

The two old people invited her into the house and took out all the edible things.

White steamed buns and hot pancakes...

"Xiaotang, when you were a child, your favorite thing was the food your grandma cooked. No matter how much you wanted to eat, she would make it for you."

It was getting dark outside. After dinner, grandma opened the room that had been closed for a long time.

"Xiaotang, you can stay here tonight."

That room...was Lu Tang's mother's childhood room.

When Lu Tang was little, her mother brought her here, and they lived in this room together.

It turns out that after so much time, the two elders still haven't forgotten...

Lu Tang put the things in and sat on the bed.

It was already very late, but grandma was standing at the door and still showed no intention of leaving.

Lu Tang raised his eyes and met her gaze; her eyes were red.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Lu Tang had a smile on his face and spoke gently.

Grandma couldn't hold it in any longer, tears streaming down her face. "Xiaotang, your mom hasn't come back with you this time?"

Lu Tang's body trembled, his throat suddenly became dry, and he couldn't say a word.

Grandpa supported her from behind: "Alright, alright, Xiaotang is so good, having Xiaotang is enough for us. It's getting dark, go to bed quickly, we still have to make delicious food for Xiaotang tomorrow morning."

He said this to comfort his grandmother, but also to himself.

Under the moonlight in the yard, the two old men supported each other and entered the room.

Lu Tang lay on the bed, thinking about what the two elders had just said, and his heart couldn't calm down.

This room was on the sunny side. Lu Tang wanted to count the stars through the curtains, but when he opened the curtains, it was cloudy outside and he couldn't even see the moon.

The overcast sky made her feel even more depressed.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally felt sleepy.

But she had only closed her eyes for three seconds when she heard crying from the house in the east.

Listen carefully, is that... grandma's voice?

Lu Tang's heart trembled, and he quickly sat up from the bed.

"Xiaotang! Xiaotang! Come and see your grandpa! He fainted!" Grandma's crying voice reached her ears through the doors and windows.

Lu Tang didn't even have time to put on his shoes before getting out of bed and rushing into the room where they slept.

Grandpa collapsed on the ground with his eyes closed. No matter how much grandma called his name, he never opened his eyes.

Feeling suffocated, Lu Tang called 120 without thinking.

But this is the eastern suburbs, and it takes 40 minutes to get to the nearest county hospital!

Forty minutes! A heart attack can kill you!

But this is City B, and Lu Tang doesn’t have a car!

"Xiaotang, go and ask the village doctor. It's the one on the right side of the alley entrance! Go quickly!" Grandma cried.

Lu Tang was still barefoot, but he no longer cared about that.

The roads in the small village are all dirt roads with small stones everywhere.

Lu Tang only took two steps when his feet were already in so much pain.

But she didn't stop.

In three minutes, she called the doctor.

After all, he was a village doctor with limited medical equipment, so he just gave the patient an emergency heart-saving pill.

"The cause of the disease is unknown. Now you are taking this pill. The disease will recur in ten minutes. Go to the hospital quickly! There is no time!" The doctor's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

A feeling of powerlessness surged from the bottom of my heart. Ten minutes was really not enough!

Her eyes were red and she forced herself to calm down.

The sound of a phone rang, breaking the oppressive feeling in the room.

Lu Tang’s cell phone was ringing, and three big words were written on the screen - "Ji Shengzhou".
