Chapter 576: Eighth Brother, I’m Sorry

Feng Shanshan was not reluctant in the least. She packed her things and went to Tang Yan’s house.

“How pitiful of you, eating takeout. Let me cook for you.”

“No, I’m done with eating.” Tang Yan did not want to be with Feng Shanshan in the same space anymore. Besides, didn’t she hurt her foot just now? Although he was not someone who would pity a woman, torturing a person was not his hobby.

Feng Shanshan shrugged. It’s best that Tang Yan did not need anything.

So, she went straight to the fireplace. The fire warmed her up.

...

Late at night, the whole Jianchuan was foggy.

Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi to the hospital. He wanted to cheer for Grandpa. He just didn’t say it out loud.

The chance of success was thirty five percent. If the old man did not make it through on the operation table, tonight would be the last meeting between grandfather and grandson.

Because of this, even though Sheng Xiao had just left from a dinner meeting, he still brought Mu Qiqi to the hospital.

Grandpa Sheng had just finished washing up in the hospital.

He was scheduled for the earliest slot for his surgery tomorrow.

“Eighth Young Master. Miss Mu.” The butler greeted them.

When Grandpa Sheng heard the butler addressing them, he felt as if it was something that happened in his past life. When he raised his head and saw them for real, he was shocked.

“Why are you here at this time?”

“To let you go to the battlefield with a peaceful mind,” Sheng Xiao replied. “You should have gotten your will prepared.”

“Eighth Brother, if I’m really gone tomorrow, can you promise me to return to the Sheng family?” Grandpa Sheng said seriously, “I can’t control your private matters anymore. I just feel that the Sheng family should be complete.”

“You can propose this again tomorrow if you survive,” Sheng Xiao said seriously.

Grandpa Sheng chuckled. “You are still as bad as before. Just forget about it. If I really don’t make it tomorrow, the Sheng family will depend on you.”

“You should just take care of it on your own. Let me tell you frankly. If you don’t survive tomorrow, I won’t care a bit what happens to the Sheng family. I won’t care what Second Brother does by then. You know I always keep my words.”

“Alright. I have to wake up early tomorrow morning. You two can go back already.” Grandpa Sheng understood what Sheng Xiao meant.

However, he did not want to let Sheng Xiao see his weak side. He was as demanding and almighty as before. He wanted to keep his dignity until the end.

Actually, he had so many things to say to Sheng Xiao. But he just couldn’t open his mouth.

“When you are asleep, we will leave.”

Grandpa Sheng ignored them and took his medication. Then, he closed his eyes and slept.

The two just looked at him like that. When he fell asleep, they left the hospital.

“I somehow respect this old man. Whoever in his situation will hope for the company of his children and grandchildren. But he is still so strong.”

“We’ll stay in the hotel opposite the hospital tonight,” Sheng Xiao told her.

Mu Qiqi nodded. In fact, it didn’t matter if they stayed in a hotel or in a car, as long as she stayed by his side to overcome the ups and downs of life, she would never complain.

When they left, Grandpa Sheng opened his eyes again.

The butler, who was standing beside him, comforted him. “Master, you have to make it through. Although Eighth Young Master always says things you don’t like to hear, he still hopes that you can survive. You know it.”

“He still uses Huang Yao to threaten me at this kind of time. He simply likes to choose the way I don’t like to comfort me.”

Nevertheless, Grandpa Sheng’s heart felt warm.

If it was not for his illness, he would not have experienced Eighth Brother’s special care.

...

The next morning, it was seven o’clock when Grandpa Sheng was about to be pushed into the operating room.

Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi stood on either sides of the bed and looked at Grandpa Sheng. “Old man, if you still want to see your Huang Yao, you better make it through.”

“You never say one good thing.”

However, Grandpa Sheng showed a rare smile. “Eighth Brother, I’m sorry.”

When he finished the sentence, his doctor told him he was ready for the operation.

“The patient’s family can wait outside. Don’t worry, we’ll do our best.”

Watching Grandpa Sheng being pushed away, Mu Qiqi instinctively held Sheng Xiao’s hand.

He looked calm as always, but his palm was sweating.

The sign above the operating room lit up.

It was about eight o’clock when Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling drove to the hospital and they saw Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi waiting outside the operating room.

“Sheng Xiao!” Sheng Kai charged toward him angrily and grabbed his collar. “Where’s Grandpa? What have you done to him?”

“Let go,” Sheng Xiao said coldly.

“I am asking you, where is Grandpa?”

“Can’t you see?” Sheng Xiao broke free from Sheng Kai and fixed his collar.

Sheng Kai looked at the door of the operating room, then he pointed at Sheng Xiao and shouted. “You, Sheng Xiao, are just an outsider. What right do you have to stand here and decide everything for Grandpa? It was you who wanted to leave the Sheng family and Huang Yao. But now, when Grandpa is ill, you don’t inform us and make decisions all by yourself! Who are you? Who are you to do that?”

“Do I really have to explain why Grandpa didn’t tell you he is ill?”

Sheng Xiao was only a bit taller than Sheng Kai. But somehow, he made people feel like he was looking at Sheng Kai from above.

“Grandpa is only worried that we might be worried!”

“He’s worried that you want his legacy,” Sheng Xiao said it straightforwardly.

“Even if it’s true, who are you to comment on that? You hid it from the Sheng family. You hid it from all of us and got Grandpa here for an operation. How would I know what your intention is? What if you just want Grandpa to die?”

Unwilling to argue with Sheng Kai, Sheng Xiao cast a sharp look at Xu Che.

Xu Che received the signal and walked straight to Sheng Kai, pinned him to the wall, and stopped him from making a sound. “If you don’t know how to keep quiet, I will teach you.”

“Sheng Xiao, Kai is your older brother. You cannot do this to him.”

Now, it’s Gu Ziling’s turn to argue.

“I remember I told you not to appear in front of me...”

“You threatened Grandpa. I want to report it to the police.” Knowing that she could not win against Sheng Xiao, Gu Ziling slandered him.

Mu Qiqi laughed helplessly. “Now, I can be sure that your ability in slandering people is inborn. You know why Grandpa needs this operation and why he did not tell you about it. But still, you want to mess with us? Not to mention that we are not interested in Huang Yao in the slightest. Even if we wanted it, do you have the chance to fight back?”
