Seeing Su Zhen's serious expression, Xu Tian quickly said, "Uncle Su, this, this wasn't me who told on you, it was...it was my mom who found out from somewhere! I..."

Su Zhen let out a long sigh and waved his hand.

"I know, it's not your fault. Your sister-in-law is very resourceful; even if she found out, it's beyond your control..."

"It's not your fault, it's...it's all my fault..."

Su Zhen said this while keeping his eyes tightly closed, lying on the hospital bed for a long time without speaking.

"Uncle Su... what's wrong?"

"Alas... I... I have no face to see Brother Xu and his wife..."

Su Tian looked at the old man lying on the bed with some heartache. "Uncle Su, what are you saying? Our two families are long-standing families, and you and my father have a life-and-death friendship."

Su Zhen's face showed bitterness.

“I know… but, but back then, for the sake of my pride, to refuse the Xu family’s help, to prevent Brother Xu from helping me, I left the capital without saying a word, without even leaving a message for the two of them… just for the sake of my pride, all these years, I, I… I have let them down…!”

"I haven't sent them a single message all these years, how can I possibly face them now!"

As Su Zhen spoke, he pounded his fist on the hospital bed, and two lines of tears streamed down his tightly closed eyes.

Xu Tian sighed and took Su Zhen's hand.

"Uncle Su, please don't be sad."

“I think they must know you very well, having known you for so many years.”

"Your dignity, your pride, your character—these are the shining points of your handsomeness back then. My parents recognized you as their elder brother because they understood and admired you."

"I think they must have been saddened by your silent departure back then, but along with that sadness, they probably felt even more understanding..."

“I was young before, but now that I’m older, I understand a little better.”

"A proud wolf king, who was proud and aloof his whole life, would never allow anyone to see him in a wretched state, and would rather leave the wolf pack and die alone."

“But, Uncle Su…you’re not a wolf, you’re a human.”

"You've been aloof for most of your life, that's enough. Now that you have the chance, please accept the help of your brothers and sisters."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Su burst into tears, tightly gripping Xu Tian's hands. After a long while, he nodded vigorously.

"Alright, I promise you. I will accept the treatment. I will go to the capital to see Brother Xu and his wife in person. I will put aside my already worthless face and apologize to them personally!"

Su Zhen said emotionally.

Xu Tian laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Your old face isn't worthless at all; it's worth a mountain of gold!"

Su Zhen's sorrowful mood was dispelled by Xu Tian's amusement, and he burst into laughter.

"You little rascal~ Haha, good rascal, good boy... good boy indeed..."

"I didn't misjudge you."

"A man like you is someone my daughter should entrust her life to."

"Xiao Tian, ​​after I go to the capital, Nuan Nuan will be in your care!"

As he spoke, Su Zhen tightened his grip on Xu Tian's hand twice more.

Xu Tian felt a little awkward, but given the current atmosphere, especially considering Su Zhen's unstable condition and the recent rollercoaster of emotions, it wasn't appropriate to contradict him. So he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Nuannuan. She's like family to me..."

Xu Tiangang wanted to say "my younger sister," but then felt it was inappropriate.

Uncle Su is now obsessed with treating me like his son-in-law, so for me to say that Su Nuannuan is my own sister is tantamount to provoking the old man.

She could only reassure Su Zhen again and again, telling him that she would definitely take good care of Su Nuannuan and that he could go to the capital for treatment without worry. Only then did Su Zhen feel at ease.

However, through this incident, Xu Tian gradually realized something in his heart.

The tree catches the wind.

There will always be various dangers around you.

When I was a child, I lived with the Xu family. They kept many skilled people as their retainers.

At the time, Xu Tian didn't understand and often asked his parents why the Xu family, with its huge business and influence, still needed these people. Who would dare to mess with the Xu Group?

The parents just laughed it off and didn't offer any further explanation.

Now it seems that's true.

Wherever there are people, there will be a world of intrigue; wherever there is intrigue, there will be bloodshed.

Even the largest families, sects, and political figures cannot guarantee 100% safety.

To put it simply, it's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone eyeing you.

Although the Xu Group did hire a lot of security guards, these people worked in the group's building.

It seems we really should hire a bodyguard or something.

Xu Tian made up his mind. Chu Lan was a given, Su Nuannuan must feel very insecure after what happened, and then there was Zhao Jing…

Zhao Jing?

As Xu Tian walked out of the ward, he almost slapped himself.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Xu Tian, ​​you sure have a lot of people to worry about...

Su Nuannuan just ran out of the ward, and we don't know where she is right now. Let's go find her first.

Xu Tian came out of the ward and went to the nurses' station to ask about Su Nuannuan's whereabouts.

The receptionist said they didn't see Su Nuannuan.

Xu Tian nodded and then asked if anyone else had approached the ward. He emphasized the need for extra caution regarding safety recently and suggested that he call some people to keep watch and protect the area.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone else... Oh right, a young lady came to visit Grandpa Su this afternoon."

"Miss?"

Xu Tian was slightly taken aback, wondering why he hadn't seen anyone come over.

The nurse continued, "She's a very beautiful young lady! She has a great figure and a very elegant demeanor. She brought a gift and wanted to come in, but when she heard that you have a girlfriend, she seemed a little unhappy. She left the gift here and left. Here she is."

The nurse took out the gift and placed it on the table.

Extremely beautiful... Great figure... Elegant demeanor...

Xu Tian glanced at the gifts on the stage, guessing they were quite valuable...

Xu Tian felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead...

"Excuse me, what is this lady's name?"

The nurse thought for a moment, "I don't remember the name, but I think the surname is Chu. Young man, did you get into some kind of romantic entanglement again? Hehe~"

Xu Tian felt a sudden boom in his head!

Finished!

Something big happened!
