After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

When Lu Shiyi and his wife arrived at the hospital, Lu's father had already been taken into the operating room.

Lu's mother paced anxiously outside the operating room.

Grandpa arrived at the hospital half an hour before Dad was taken there to prepare for the surgery.

The moment Lu's mother saw Lu Shiyi, her carefully composed emotions crumbled once again.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone out this afternoon and left your father alone at home," Lu's mother said, sobbing softly.

She didn't know exactly what time her husband fainted or what caused it. When she returned home in the evening, her father had already collapsed at the gate of the yard, next to his phone with a shattered screen.

“The doctor said that if we had taken him to the hospital sooner, he wouldn’t be in such a serious condition now. Why did I go out for a stroll? Why did I go for a stroll…” Mrs. Lu blamed herself so much that she pinched her hand until it bled.

……

Not long after, Lu Shuyao also rushed to the hospital.

She had just finished working overtime and returned home, and hadn't even had time to change her clothes when she received a call from her sister, and then she rushed over without stopping.

Today is New Year's Day, and the company did not require her to work overtime; it was voluntary for her.

The early bird catches the worm, and diligence can make up for lack of talent. Regardless of whether she is slow or not, she believes that being diligent and doing more things is always the right thing to do.

Besides, an empty company is always more comfortable than a cold and lifeless home.

"Mom, don't worry, Dad will definitely be alright," Lu Shuyao comforted her.

Outside the operating room, the two sisters sat on either side of their mother, comforting her.

Fu Cheng stood to the side, glancing at the operating room door from time to time.

This sudden situation involving Lu's father surprised him greatly.

According to my great-grandfather, as long as my father-in-law takes his medicine on time and is not subjected to mental stress, he will not have any problems with his daily life.

Why did it suddenly become so serious? He even fell into a coma.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Time, which usually seems to fly by, felt exceptionally difficult for the people standing outside the operating room.

After calming down, Lu's mother noticed that her second son-in-law was not there.

Is Hao Kai still busy with work?

Before Lu Shuyao and Li Haokai's relationship deteriorated, whenever Li Haokai missed important family gatherings, Lu Shuyao would always find excuses and say nice things for him in front of her parents, saying that he was too busy with work and couldn't get away.

Because she didn't want her parents to be disappointed or worry about her.

Ironically, whenever there was anything going on at her in-laws' house, Li Haokai insisted that she be there whenever they needed her.

For example, when she was more than three months pregnant and suffering from severe morning sickness, a distant relative from Li Haokai's hometown was holding a banquet. Just because her mother-in-law said, "They specially invited us and asked our whole family to come," Li Haokai insisted that she go back.

Even if it meant a long and tiring journey, even if she was nauseous from morning sickness and couldn't eat anything...

Back then, she was blinded by love and used every excuse she could think of to justify Li Haokai, refusing to admit that Li Haokai didn't actually care about her.

Looking back now, she thinks she was ridiculously foolish.

Lu Shuyao looked at her mother, hesitating about how to start the conversation, when the phone in her pocket rang.

She took it out and saw that it was actually that scumbag Li Haokai.

While she was working overtime at the company today, the jerk called her several times, but she hung up on him and didn't answer.

Last time, when Lu Shuyao encountered the scumbag and his mistress in the elevator, she overheard their conversation: the two were going to go on a trip together on New Year's Day.

Since you've already gone out together, why bother her? Do you want to show off?

So she just wouldn't answer his calls, no matter what.

Just as Lu Shuyao was about to hang up again, her mother saw the incoming call.

"It's Haokai calling. Maybe he can't find the place. You should answer it quickly."

Deep down, Lu's mother only hoped that her daughters and sons-in-law could all be together at this crucial moment for her husband.

In this way, when her husband wakes up, she will feel relieved and happy.

Lu Shuyao hummed in agreement and went to the side to answer the phone.

……

In the afternoon.

Li Haokai called Lu Shuyao several times, but she hung up on him each time.

At the time, he and his mistress, Lin Xiaoshan, were on vacation together in a neighboring city.

The two spent the morning having fun, and in the afternoon they returned to a five-star luxury hotel in a neighboring city to rest.

Midway through the conversation, the two discussed divorce and the division of assets again.

Ever since Lin Xiaoshan learned that Lu Shuyao wanted half of Li Haokai's assets and that Lu Shuyao also had evidence of their asset transfer, Lin Xiaoshan has been subtly probing Li Haokai from time to time.

He claimed, "I'm just furious. Why should a lazy woman who does nothing all day reap the benefits of your hard-earned money? I see how hard you work, and I feel sorry for you even though she doesn't care!"

"This money is what you worked so hard for, it belongs to you alone, no one else can take it for themselves, including me..."

"Haokai, to be honest, I really struggle when you give me gifts. If I accept them, I feel uneasy, especially when I think about how much money you earned from working so hard on those projects. But if I refuse, I'm afraid of letting you down and causing you to misunderstand. Actually, I'm capable of doing anything and can earn my own money. Even without these assets, I would still be with you. I just feel sorry for you..."

Li Haokai was deeply moved after hearing these words and immediately said that he would call again to force Lu Shuyao to give up her property.

Unfortunately, Lu Shuyao kept hanging up and refused to answer.

Li Haokai was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

In the end, it was Lin Xiaoshan who gave advice.

"Didn't you say her only redeeming quality is her filial piety? If she's not answering the phone, we'll call her parents. They've already come this far as divorce; they must already know. Let them see what kind of person their daughter is—she doesn't earn a penny and still wants to take half the assets. If they know what's good for them, they should advise their daughter to give up as soon as possible, so she doesn't embarrass herself back home..."

Li Haokai hesitated after hearing this.

Although he and Lu Shuyao had fallen out to this point, to be fair, his parents-in-law had always treated him very well. He could tell that they treated him like their own son.

Although he doesn't usually take the initiative to get close to his parents.

“I know Lu Shuyao. She wouldn’t tell her parents about the divorce, so it’s no use talking to them,” Li Haokai tried to persuade Lin Xiaoshan.

"How is it useless? Regardless of whether her parents know about your divorce, putting pressure on an old man or woman from the countryside is better than putting pressure on that dead woman, Lu Shuyao. You know that Lu Shuyao is completely impervious to reason."

"Isn't she the most filial? Then she must listen to her parents, right..."
