Chapter 2029 Now and then
Chapter 2029 This time
Beidu First Hospital, intensive care unit.
Mr. Luo closed his eyes tightly and his face turned pale. His body, which was getting thinner, was surrounded by various medical equipment such as syringes and wires.
There was almost no blood on his old face. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, I'd probably someone would have mistakenly thought he had passed away.
Luo Xue saw this scene through the glass. She couldn't control her emotions, and tears rolled in her eyes, "How could this happen... When I met my grandfather last time, he was fine, why did he get so quickly..."
"Last time? Xiaoxue, the last time you met him was half a month ago, right?" Luo's father said next to him, and his voice was obviously dissatisfied.
Luo Xue was powerless to refute this - yes, she hadn't seen her grandfather for nearly half a month. She was very guilty now. She was busy with Mu Fei's affairs during this period and completely ignored this grandfather.
"Xiaoxue, don't blame me for telling you, you've really been..."
When he spoke, Luo's father looked disappointed and embarrassed, "Oh, forget it, it's useless to say these things now..."
"I'll wait for you in the car. You can stay with your grandpa for a while, and then go home with me. I'll tell you if I have something to do." After Luo's father said that, he turned around and left the ward.
"Yes." Luo Xue nodded and responded softly.
Luo Xue knew how long she had been here, and it was not helpful to the old man's condition. She stayed for a while, then went downstairs and got into her father's car.
"Drive and go back to the courtyard." Luo's father said to the driver.
The driver nodded slightly and started the car.
"Dad, what are you asking me for?" Luo Xue asked instinctively.
"I'll know when I get home." Luo's father said casually.
Half an hour later, Luo Xue and her father returned to the old Luo family house. They entered the study, where Luo Xue's uncle, third uncle, and Luo Xue's cousin were all there.
"Okay, I'm back. You guys sit down and let's talk about the serious business."
Luo Xue's uncle, Luo Jianshe, pointed at the sofa and asked Luo's father and Luo Xue to sit down.
Luo Xue's cousin Luo Tiejun poured two cups of tea and handed it to the two of them, "Uncle Second, drink a sip of hot tea to warm up your body. Xiaoxue, you drink it too..."
Luo's father served tea and drank a big sip.
Luo Xuexian held the cup in his hand and drank it lightly. Not to mention, it was really comfortable to drink some hot tea in the cold weather.
"Xiaoxue, we have already talked about what we are going to say today before you come back. Today, we mainly tell you... Do you know the current situation of our Luo family?" Luo Jianshe asked.
"I know, probably... I know." Luo Xue had answered very affirmatively, but when she saw her uncle's eyes, she felt a little hesitant again.
Luo Jianshe didn't ask her anything, lit a cigarette and took a sip, slowly saying, "It's good that you know... Our Luo family has been in decline over the years, and it's not as good as one year. It's no longer the powerful Luo family decades ago..."
"In the circle, the name of our Luo family is the 'fifth master' besides the four major families of Sun, Li, Wang and Huang, but in fact? Our name is already in name only. There are many families with wealth and power than our Luo family, and there are also some foreign families. Those rising stars no longer regard our Luo family's words in their eyes..."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly and looked at Luo Xue, "I'll ask you again, do you know what our Luo family is in the eyes of those families?"
Luo Xue raised her eyebrows, but no answer.
Of course she knew what her uncle meant, but this was not the reason why she raised her eyebrows, because she felt something was wrong.
Luo Jianshe said without waiting for her answer, "In the eyes of these wealthy wolves and wild dogs, our Luo family is an increasingly elderly person. Although it is too thin, it can also make them have a delicious meal. They just stare at us and dare not speak, because your grandfather is still here! Your grandfather is the pillar of our family! The Dinghai Shen Needle!"
"But now, our pillar is old and can't stand it anymore. The day when he falls, it's the moment when those jackals yell at us!"
"So, our Lao Luo family cannot sit and wait for death. We must prepare for the future and make full preparations. We must not be slaughtered and make fish on the chopping board!!"
Luo Jianshe said while tapping the table with his fingers, while Luo Xue's third uncle Luo Chengliang and cousin Luo Tiejun nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.
After saying that, Luo Jianshe looked at Luo Xue again, "Xiaoxue, there is something you want to do."
And it’s not just Uncle Luo, but almost everyone in the study looked at Luo Xue.
Now, Luo Xue felt very bad. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you want me to do it? What's the matter?"
"Marry, and... Zhuge Wuzhen." Uncle Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Xue's reaction.
"What?"
Luo Xueru was shocked when she encountered bad news. She stood up with a 'skip' and said, "Marry him? I can't, I won't marry."
At this time, Luo Xue had already understood that everyone in the room today was coming to her.
Originally, she was tortured by the death of Mu Fei and her grandfather was so angry that she was getting tired and gradually became thinner. Now these people were trying to make her have another idea. She couldn't help but cry and shouted, "Grandpa has promised me to let A Fei be with me. You were there at that time and they all agreed with Grandpa's words. Why now..."
"This is the moment! That is the moment!"
Luo Jianshe shouted loudly and interrupted Luo Xue without hesitation, "At that time, your grandfather's body could still hold on, and the boy named Mu did have some potential. More importantly, he was also a celebrity under Lao Li. Being with her is equivalent to tying the Luo family and the Li family together, so we agreed to give him a while and give him a chance."
"But now? The old man's condition can no longer be controlled and he may pass away at any time. There is also the boy named Mu who has been missing for half a month. Air crash! That is an air crash! No, no, no!"
"Not only is he dead, but he is also dead! Are you still expecting him to come back now? Don't dream, can you?"
The louder Uncle Luo spoke, the louder his voice became, and his tone became more and more straightforward.
And his words could be said to have pierced Luo Xue's last fantasy. Her pearly tears flowed down, and her emotions were almost uncontrollable.
Moreover, she was not only sad, but also very surprised, "How did you...you know this? You know so much?" Luo Xue asked.
"Hmph! Childish!"
A trace of disdain flashed across Uncle Luo's face, and he snorted coldly, "Do you really think paper can cover the fire? Not only us, but people who are a little bit interested in this circle know!"
Uncle Luo didn't care about Luo Xue's complicated expression at all, and was still talking, "Before, I could have some hope for him. Even if he couldn't do it, as long as he could get to the Li family, he could accept it. But now, it's completely impossible!"
"First, he has long known where he died. When he encountered an air crash, he could not be alive!"
"Second, do you know why Lao Li is on a business trip this time? Because something happened to Mu Fei, someone questioned the next day that his plan had a lot of hidden dangers and raised a series of technical questions."
"If Lao Li can solve the problem, he still has a chance. If Lao Li can't solve the problem, those people will rush forward and further question the technical strength of the team of Lao Li and Mu Fei, and then deprive them of their dominance in this project and replace it."
"But now, the life and death of Mu is unknown, and Lao Li can't solve those problems at all. Even if it is solved this time, there will be a next time!"
"In other words, it's only a matter of time before Lao Li was kicked out of dominance in this project. Whether it's surnamed Mu or Lao Li, it has no value for us now. Do you understand if I say that?"
"On the contrary, the Sun family promised that as long as you are willing to marry, they would not blame what we did before. And they could share more shares to us in the project."
"Anyway, it is the best and only way for you to marry into the Sun family now. Xiaoxue, this is for the Luo family!"
"No, I don't care!" Luo Xue burst into tears.
"For the sake of the family, for the family, why do you have to use this method for the family? You must sacrifice my happiness? If you don't marry, I won't marry!"
Luo Xue shouted in a daze--She is really going to collapse at this time. The lover who loves her most is in danger of life at any time.
And just when she was most painful and helpless, her elders, including her father, wanted to marry her to someone she didn't love... they could even be said to be the enemy she hated the most.
How could she accept such a thing?
"Xiaoxue, five years ago, when you were eighteen years old, my uncle told you that you should be prepared for marriage, because this is the fate of the children of wealthy families!!" Uncle Luo was tempted and said nice words, but no affection flashed in his eyes.
Luo Xue shook her head desperately, "No, I won't marry, I will never marry Zhuge Wuzhen!"
She turned her eyes to her father for help, but she was disappointed, but her father just turned his face to the side.
And the intense sadness hit her like a huge hammer, and she even felt dizzy.
"Bang--"
"Crazy~"
Disappointed, she staggered and kicked to the coffee table next to her. Two tea cups on the side of the table fell and fell to the ground and smashed.
"you……"
Uncle Luo suddenly stared at the boss - he was very dissatisfied with Luo Xue's attitude of "not knowing the importance of the matter". Now she actually broke her beloved antique teacup, and Uncle Luo was angry.
"Xiaoxue, don't be ungrateful! I'll ask you, will you marry?" Uncle Luo widened his eyes and asked in a low voice.
Luo Xue's answer was more firmer than before, "If you don't marry, you will definitely not marry! If I don't marry, I will never marry!"
"Hmph, if you are ungrateful, don't blame us elders for showing mercy!"
Uncle Luo shook his sleeve and said, pointing at Luo Xue again, "Iron Army, take her down!"
Luo Tienan was not polite and grabbed Luo Xue with his big hand...
ps: It seems that some previous chapters, I wrote Luo Tiejun's name as Luo Tieguan and corrected it. They are all alone and do not affect reading.
