Chapter 30 - Imminent death warning: within the next ten minutes, please praise your wife's beauty for five minutes straight (1)
The door was pushed open, but the group of people stopped outside the door. They still had inconsolable grieving expressions and tears in their eyes, but their voices had been abruptly cut off by what they saw in the room.
In a split second, their deafening cries had been silenced.
They saw that Lu Lixing had cornered Ji Qingqing to a wall, and she was looking so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head.
It was Lu Lixing that reacted first. He nonchalantly looked at Elder Lu, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"
"Young Master is still alive..." These words were obviously inappropriate to say and were quickly swallowed back down.
Seeing that Young Master was standing up and perfectly fine, Aunty Pei cried and laughed. "Elder Lu, Young Master is okay! Young Master is okay!"
Seeing that his grandson was still alive and standing by the bedpost, Elder Lu trembled and let out a long sigh of relief.
The doctor anxiously rushed over and examined Lu Lixing.
Elder Lu walked to the bed and tightly held Lu Lixing's hand. His eyes showed lingering fear. "Child, are you okay?"
In the past month, Elder Lu had exhausted himself for Lu Lixing. A good portion of his previously black hair had turned white.
Lu Lixing turned his hand so he was holding Elder Lu's hand. "Grandfather, don't worry. I'm fine."
"Good, as long as you're okay..."
The old man had already mentally prepared himself for his grandson's impending death a month ago because of the doctor's urgings. Having lived to this old age, he had seen plenty of people dying from sickness and old age. But, once he saw Aunty Pei weeping bitterly, his legs felt weak. He hadn't been able to accept reality.
Fortunately... Fortunately...
The crowd of servants left the room.
Ji Qingqing looked at Elder Lu. An idea occurred to her. "Elder Lu, you should have the doctor examine you too."
She was truly worried about Elder Lu's health after he had experienced a roller coaster of emotions.
However, Elder Lu wasn't concerned. "I don't need it. I'm very healthy."
"Elder Lu, just listen to Young Madam and have the doctor give you an examination," persuaded Aunty Pei. "Young Master's health isn't good. You can't collapse too."
"Elder Lu, it's just a quick examination. The doctor is already here, chimed Ji Qingqing
"You haven't been able to eat well or sleep well lately. How can I not worry?" said Aunty Pei.
"I really..."
"Elder Lu!"
Elder Lu saw Ji Qingqing and Aunty Pei's insistent faces. He sighed and agreed, "Fine!"
About half an hour later, the doctor came out of Elder Lu's room. The doctor said there was no serious problem with Elder Lus body. It was only that his spirit wasn't good, and he needed to properly rest. He couldn't work too hard, and he should eat nourishing foods.
Ji Qingqing mentally noted down the doctor's words, then she turned to Aunty Pei. "Aunty Pei, where's Lu Liting?"
Aunty Pei sighed. "Second Young Master left this morning after getting a call. Young Madam, what could be more important to him than what's happening at home right now? Young Master is in very poor health, Elder Lu's body isn't well either. At this critical juncture, how could he just leave like that?"
Ji Qingqing guessed that it had to be related Shen Weiwei. No one else's call would be able to get Lu Liting to leave here.
Regarding this matter, Ji Qingqing had guessed correctly.
When Shen Weiwei had originally gotten injured during their dispute, the company had given all of Ji Qingqing acting roles and endorsements to Shen Weiwei in order to appease her. Now that Tianyu Entertainment had investigated the incident clearly, they saw that Ji Qingqing hadn't pushed Shen Weiwei in the video recording. So, naturally, the acting roles and endorsements were returned to Ji Qingqing.
Not only that, Tianyu Entertainment had posted this online to clear Ji Qingqing's name.
Meng Xun couldn't accept that her efforts were going to be wasted, so she called Lu Liting on Shen Weiwei's phone.
