This time, Bei Shuo nodded sincerely. â1 understand. Iâll be careful.â
When the car arrived at the hospital, Liu Mingâs phone rang. âLiu Ming, where is he? Why isnât he here? Whereâs Mu Ci?â
Liu Ming held the cell phone away from his ear. Duan Siâs angry voice came from the cell phone.
Liu Ming glanced at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci took the phone. âItâs me. Iâm visiting Grandpa in the hospital.â
Mu Ci hung up the phone and looked at Luo Bing. Luo Bing shrugged. âFortunately, I left in time.â
Uncle Liu pushed the wheelchair over. Bei Shuo wanted to take over, but Mu Ci pulled her over and let her walk beside him.
Luo Bing put his hands behind his back and said, âYour wheelchair is just a prop, right?â
Mu Ci said calmly, âIt canât get off work for a while.â
Mu Chen had already been in the hospital for more than a month. His explanation to the outside world was that he had a heart attack because of his two grandsons.
Duan Si came a few times and wanted Old Master to go to the Shen Family to intercede. Old Jiang stopped her and said that the doctor did not allow Old Master to meet guests and could not have any more emotional fluctuations. He would convey her intentions to Old Master. When she came again, Old Jiang conveyed Old Masterâs intentions: He was too ashamed to go to the Shen Family to intercede.
Mu Ci and Bei Shuo had come once to tell Old Master that Song Nanâs matter had nothing to do with him. Secondly, he and Bei Shuo had moved away. Old Jiang looked helpless.
This was Mu Ciâs second visit since Old Master was hospitalized.
Luo Bing found it unbelievable after hearing Mu Ciâs words. âArenât you afraid that Old Master will scold you for being unfilial?â
âIâm unfilial to begin with,â Mu Ci replied calmly.
âShouldnât you put on an act and visit more often?â Luo Bing still found it unbelievable.
Mu Ci smiled. âCan you beat your Old Master?â
Luo Bing was silent. He had to admit, âI canât win.â
Mu Ci looked at the door of the ward that was inches away and said, âOld Master knows that this has nothing to do with me. He just wants me to beg him. As long as 1 agree to his conditions, he will stand up for me and clean up this mess.â
Luo Bing was shocked. âWhat conditions?â
Mu Ci remained silent.
âHow is he going to clean up?â
Mu Ci shook his head.
The door of the ward opened. Old Jiang was not surprised to see them. âEldest Young Master.â
âHowâs Grandpa?â Mu Ci asked.
Old Jiang said respectfully, âOld Master asked me to ask if you still care about him.â
Luo Bing smiled.
Mu Ci touched his nose. âI care. I hope Grandpa can live a long life.â
âOld Master said that he wonât live long if you donât take over the Mu Family.â Old Jiang, no, Old Master seemed to have predicted his answer.
Only then did Luo Bing know that Old Master Muâs condition was for Mu Ci to take over the position of the family head.
Mu Ci sighed. âUncle Jiang, tell Grandpa to stop playing. Thereâs no turning back now.â
âWhat if there is? Will you change your mind?â This time, Old Jiang asked this himself.
Mu Ci sighed. âUncle Jiangââ
Uncle Jiang waved his hand. âAlright, I spoke too much.â
Mu Ci looked at him. âIf it werenât for Bei Shuo, I would be dead now.â
Old Jiangâs expression changed and he glanced at Bei Shuo, who was looking around. âYoung Madam, please take Old Masterâs pulse.â
âAlright.â Bei Shuo agreed without hesitation. He turned around and said proudly to Mu Ci, âGrandpa doesnât want to see you, but he wants to see me.â
Mu Ciâs expression changed drastically. He grabbed her and looked at Old Jiang. âUncle Jiang, Bei Shuo is innocent. Donât get her involved.â
Old Jiang sighed and said, âEldest Young Master, how can there be a perfect egg when the nest is overturned? Eldest Young Madam canât stay out of this since sheâs carrying this title.â
He gestured for Bei Shuo to go ahead.
Mu Ci refused to let go of Bei Shuoâs hand.
Bei Shuo patted the back of his hand. âDonât worry.â
Mu Ci couldnât help but feel a little anxious.
Luo Bing saw it clearly. He pried Mu Ciâs hand away and gestured for Bei Shuo to enter. He raised his voice and said, âWhat are you doing? Are you afraid that Old Master will persuade Bei Shuo to let go? Thatâs great. If you let go, Iâll take Bei Shuo away. From now on, our families will be irreconcilable!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mu Ci looked at Luo Bing gratefully and smiled bitterly. âThese words are useless to my grandfather.â
âWhether itâs useful or not, itâs at least a deterrent,â Luo Bing found a chair and said nonchalantly.
He quite liked to watch the Mu Familyâs grandfather and grandson fight. He could always improve by learning.
However, he was also serious. Bei Shuo had to come first at all times. Even his own grandfather couldnât bully Bei Shuo, let alone Old Master Mu..
