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

Lu Shuyao walked to a corner of the stairs to answer the phone.

"Speak your mind, or shut up!" Lu Shuyao spoke sharply, but tried to keep her voice down.

"Lu Shuyao, you... I called you so many times this afternoon, why didn't you answer?" Li Haokai continued to question.

"three two……"

Lu Shuyao was counting down to hang up when a woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "No wonder Haokai doesn't want you. What man would dare to want a tigress like that?"

"tigress?"

Lu Shuyao sneered.

"The tigress was driven to this state by you two scoundrels."

“A piece of trash who likes to collect garbage doesn’t dare to talk to me. I don’t have time to play with you. If you can’t say anything nice, you’d better shut up.”

"You..." Lin Xiaoshan opposite her was furious and embarrassed, "Like father, like daughter, the two of you are both awful!"

"You better watch your mouth. If you dare say another word about my family, believe me..." Lu Shuyao was saying when she suddenly realized something.

"Have you contacted my dad?"

"What? So what if you've looked for it?"

"You have no right to speak here, let Li Haokai talk on the phone!" Lu Shuyao roared angrily, her voice low.

Li Haokai's phone was on speakerphone, and upon hearing this, he immediately replied:

“Lu Shuyao, can’t you just calm down and talk things out? The reason we called Dad was because you wouldn’t answer the phone. Besides, we did call Dad, but it was only to…”

"What are you thinking? Li Haokai, haven't I emphasized to you more than once that our divorce must not involve either of our parents? You..."

As Lu Shuyao was speaking, she heard a noise coming from the direction of the operating room.

"If anything happens to my dad, I'll never forgive you!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone and headed straight for the operating room.

"How absurd." Lin Xiaoshan grumbled, staring at the disconnected phone. "It was just a phone call, how could it possibly kill that old man? What on earth is that woman doing..."

……

When Lu Shuyao ran to the operating room door, she saw the doctor come out, take off his mask, and shake his head helplessly.

That person was none other than Grandpa Zeng. The surgery lasted two or three hours, and his elderly body almost couldn't withstand it.

Several attending physicians were also standing nearby; they had all come over specifically after receiving the call.

Otherwise, this kind of scene wouldn't happen on holidays or at night.

"The coma lasted too long, and there was truly no hope of recovery." Old Master Zeng patted Fu Cheng on the shoulder, his voice full of exhaustion.

Tears welled up in Lu Shiyi's eyes as she said, "Great-Grandpa, my dad..."

The old man looked up at Lu Shiyi, then turned to look at Fu Cheng.

He knew they were a young couple, but he didn't know that the brain tumor patient was Lu Shiyi's father.

Fu Cheng had previously told him about a friend who had a brain tumor.

However, the old man did not say much, only replying, "The patient is still in a deep coma, and it is estimated that he will only have one or two days left."

"thump……"

Lu's mother suddenly felt dizzy and fainted to the ground.

"mom……"

"mom……"

……

"Don't worry, family members. The patient just had a huge emotional outburst and couldn't handle it, which caused him to fall into a coma. He'll be fine after a night's rest."

After settling Lu's mother in, Lu Shiyi dragged his tired body out of the ward.

She told Fu Cheng to go back first, saying that she and Yao Yao could take care of him at the hospital.

Moreover, her husband even arranged for a caregiver to be there.

Lu Shiyi walked out of the inpatient department, went to a bench under a big tree, and sat down.

It was already late at night, but she was wide awake.

Leaning back in his chair, he looked up at the dark night sky, his eyes dull and lifeless.

From childhood to adulthood, her honest and upright father may have been just an ordinary person without much education in the eyes of others, but he was her everything.

"If the kids laugh at you during the National Day holiday, that's because they're impolite and ill-mannered. It has nothing to do with you. You're much better than them."

This is what Lu Shiyi's father said to her when she cried on her first day of school.

"Wouldn't it be impolite of me to laugh back at them?" Lu Shiyi asked, wiping her nose as she raised her sleeve.

"Of course not. When you laugh back at them, that's called fighting back, it's a sign of courage."

From then on, those children who laughed at Lu Shiyi for his shabby clothes and thatched hut ended up being attacked by Lu Shiyi and crying as they went home to find their mothers...

"Eleven, the teacher criticized you not because she dislikes you, but on the contrary, because the teacher loves you and cares about you, and hopes that you can correct your mistakes and become better and more outstanding."

This is what Lu Shiyi's father said to her when she was being naughty in class and was criticized by the teacher. She cried and went home, refusing to go back to school.

The next day, Lu Shiyi reluctantly went to school, but returned home full of energy, saying, "Dad, the teacher praised me today!"

Because she not only stopped being naughty herself, but also imitated the teacher by criticizing other naughty students.

"Eleven, it's okay to make mistakes, because everyone makes mistakes, but if you tell a lie, you must be punished."

This is what Lu Shiyi's father said to her when she first lied.

This was one of the few times that Lu's father punished Lu Shiyi.

Lu Shiyi, who has been a little foodie since childhood, was starved for a whole day that time. When she cried out that she was hungry, she was only given water, and only a sip each time.

From then on, Lu Shiyi never told a lie again.

Because she knew that the consequences of lying were more severe than the punishment for making the mistake itself.

……

But now, the sky is about to collapse...

"sister."

Lu Shuyao walked to the bench.

As Lu Shiyi sat up straight, she turned her head and wiped her eyes.

Then he looked at Yao Yao and said, "Aren't you supposed to be working overtime today? Why don't you rest earlier?"

Lu Shuyao sat down next to her sister, unable to control her emotions any longer.

He cried bitterly.

"Sister, I'm so sorry to Mom and Dad. I'm the one who hurt Dad..."

"Today, Dad fainted because he received a phone call from Li Haokai and was so agitated."

Lu Shiyi supported his sister's shoulders, but his hands trembled involuntarily.

Li Haokai, it was actually because of Li Haokai.

As Lu Shuyao spoke, she slapped herself hard across the face.

"Snapped……"

He slapped himself hard across the face.

As she was about to slap him a second time, Lu Shiyi stopped her in time.

“Yaoyao, this is not your fault. Li Haokai made a mistake, and we should make him pay the price. You should not have to bear the consequences of his mistake.”

"Sister, it's my fault. If I hadn't been so blind to marry Li Haokai, none of this would have happened. I was blind to the point of divorce, and I have only myself to blame. I don't blame anyone else. But why should Dad be dragged into this?"

"I really regret it. Why didn't I listen to you back then..."

A cold wind blew by, and the leaves on the trees rustled.

The two sisters sat on the bench under the tree in the pitch-black night, not leaving for a long time...
