Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

night.

Ji Yuan's family was waiting for news from the hospital.

Li Haichao made a phone call to Ling Heping.

Upon learning that the elderly woman was still in critical condition, they stayed at the hospital all night.

The old lady is still in critical condition. Chen Ting and her husband couldn't get plane tickets for yesterday, so they can only come the next morning.

……

The next day.

Chen Ting didn't get much rest that night either; she kept crying, and after talking to Ling Xiao's uncle on the phone, she couldn't even speak clearly.

Because Ling Heping had Mr. Qin's phone number, Mr. Qin simply called Ling Heping early in the morning to inquire about the situation.

Ling Heping simply said the situation wasn't optimistic, but told them not to worry and to be careful on the road.

……

school.

Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian returned to school, but Li Jianjian seemed a little absent-minded.

"I wonder how things are going with my older brother."

Li Jianjian was in a low mood.

She wasn't worried about Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother, since they weren't related, but she did feel a little sentimental.

Her main concern was Ling Xiao.

After all, she was Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother.

Although Ling Heping and Chen Ting had long been divorced, they were still blood relatives. Especially since the old lady had been making her presence felt all these years, it was impossible for Ling Xiao to feel nothing when something happened to her.

"Don't worry unnecessarily."

Ji Yuan reached out and rubbed Li Jianjian's head.

He knew that at this point, it was only Ling Xiao's maternal grandmother who had an accident.

He knew, however, that in the original storyline, Chen Ting and her husband were also going to have an accident soon after...

I just don't know if the situation will change, since he has changed quite a few things, even though not many.

If nothing changes, he needs to consider how to prevent Ling Xiao from being morally blackmailed.

In the original storyline, when Ling Xiao's uncle morally blackmailed Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao was very unwilling and even asked, "Why should I?"

Chen Ting left when he was a child, and now that so many years have passed, she's in trouble and needs him.

He's living a good life right now, why would you want to ruin it?

He was very unwilling.

However, people are sometimes bound by some intangible things, perhaps conscience, or perhaps kindness.

He ultimately couldn't bear to leave and was successfully kidnapped.

Ji Yuan knew that in this situation, Ling Xiao couldn't possibly bring himself to be ruthless.

At this point, the only option was to have Ling Heping step in and directly refuse this kind of moral blackmail.

In the original storyline, although Chen Ting was paralyzed in her lower limbs, her husband left her a house and several million yuan in inheritance, which she could easily use to hire someone to take care of her.

As for whether she was worried about hiring someone unreliable, Ling Xiao's uncle and her husband's family did visit her from time to time.

Ji Yuan pondered this in her mind, while also waiting for news from the hospital.

……

Time flies to the afternoon.

hospital.

Chen Ting hadn't arrived yet. Ling Xiao's cousin, who was also Ling Xiao's uncle's daughter, asked tearfully, "Why hasn't Auntie come yet? Grandma can't hold on much longer."

"I called them, but their phones were switched off. They must be on the plane..."

Ling Heping replied.

As the two were talking, Ling Heping's phone rang again.

Ling Heping glanced at the phone and saw it was Mr. Qin's call.

Ling Heping answered the phone.

"Officer Ling, is this? I'm Xiao Chengzi's uncle. It's like this, my brother was in a car accident on his way to take my sister-in-law to the airport..."

"What!?"

Ling Heping's eyes widened.

Meanwhile, in the other ward, Ling Xiao's aunt came out and cried out, "Mom is dying..."

Ling Heping was completely baffled.

This……

What kind of situation is this? He doesn't even know how to tell his uncle Ling Xiao.

"Is it okay?"

Before the call was even over, Ling Heping quickly asked.

"My sister-in-law's condition is not good; she's still being resuscitated."

On the other end of the phone, they quickly explained the situation of Chen Ting and her husband.

Chen Ting's husband is doing well; he was also injured, but is out of danger.

However, Chen Ting's condition is not good; she is still undergoing emergency treatment.

(If the third option is adopted, Chen Ting's husband will not die, and Chen Ting will be paralyzed in her lower limbs. There is no need to worry about it affecting Ling Xiao, since her husband is fine now and she is not without someone to take care of her.)

Now that Ling Xiao's grandmother is dead and Chen Ting is paralyzed, she should just stay abroad with her current husband's family. From now on, the two families will have no further contact; it's like their family is officially out of the picture.

……

Meanwhile, Li Haichao, He Mei, and He Ziqiu, who were at home, as well as Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian, who were at school, quickly learned about what was happening at the hospital.

They were all somewhat bewildered.

Ji Yuan received the news and felt somewhat saddened.

The car accident still happened, but it was better than the original story.

At least Mr. Qin is alright, so Ling Xiao can no longer be morally blackmailed.

Speaking of which, Ji Yuan really felt that Chen Ting seemed to have a bit of a cursed, lonely star quality.

In the original storyline, the daughter died ten years ago, and ten years later, the mother and husband died on the same day.

Well... thankfully, Ling Heping divorced her.

……

night.

Ling Heping returned alone.

"Why are you alone? Where's Ling Xiao?"

Li Haichao saw Ling Heping return and asked.

Ling Heping explained, "Ling Xiao went to the countryside with his family. The old lady was holding a funeral, and as her own grandson, he couldn't not go."

"Fine……"

"Oh right, there's also Chen Ting. I heard she's still being treated. After the old lady's funeral is over, Ling Xiao will have to go to Singapore with them."

After Ling Heping entered the room, he sat down and continued speaking.

"It's time to go."

Li Haichao didn't say anything; after all, it was his own mother being rescued, and he couldn't refuse.

"Ling's dad, aren't you going?"

“Why would I go? Ling Xiao goes because that’s his biological mother. Chen Ting is my ex-wife. If I go and see Mr. Qin’s family, it would be so awkward.”

Ling Heping shook his head and said.

“Dad Ling, I think you still have to go. If Ling Xiao’s mother is saved, she will definitely have to stay in the hospital.”

Does that mean someone needs to take care of you?

What if Ling Xiao's uncle uses this incident to get Ling Xiao to stay and take care of her?

It's indeed pitiful that Chen Ting and her current husband were in a car accident, but we can't let Ling Xiao suffer just because they're pitiful, can we?

There's a saying that goes, "Better to die a fellow Daoist than to die a poor one."

"Xiao Ji is right, what do you say?"

Li Haichao nodded and looked at Ling Heping, asking a question.

Ling Heping tried to brush it off: "Well... taking care of her for a while isn't a big deal, after all, she's his biological mother."

"Why should I?"

How did Chen Ting treat Ling Xiao before? And how did she treat Ling Xiao after your divorce?

Ling Heping, I personally support Xiao Ji.

Anyway, you can't let the child suffer, even if it means sacrificing your own well-being. You should go with them as soon as possible. If they really want Lingxiao to stay there and take care of her, then you should take Lingxiao's place and let him come back. You can stay there and take care of Chen Ting.

Li Haichao said firmly.
