The bathroom door opened.

Zhouzhou scurried out of the bathroom and called out, “Mom.” Ye Zhen turned a deaf ear to his attempts at getting her attention.

“What are you looking at?”

Holding the phone, Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan and said in a lowered voice, “I saw several doctors on my way here. The servant that I sent to fetch you was carrying a tray of cancer medication.”

“Are you sure?”

Ye Zhen showed Lu Beichuan the photos that she had taken.

Lu Beichuan’s expression was similarly grave after he finished looking through the photos.

“But, it’s possible that medication might be for someone else. Are there other people living on this side of the ancestral home...”

“No,” Lu Beichuan calmly said, “Grandpa is the only one living on this side of the ancestral home.”

“Grandpa seems to be in good spirits. Besides, wouldn’t he go to a hospital if he was sick?”

Lu Beichuan quickly skimmed the information Ye Zhen had found. His brow was deeply furrowed. “I’m not sure either. Don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Ye Zhen nodded.

Zhouzhou was standing by himself and watching his parents, who were preoccupied with their conversation and didn’t respond to his calls to them. He was about to get mad!

It was very lively at the Lu’s on Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Their extended relatives came and went. Ye Zhen didn’t have time to rest almost the entire day. When they were eating the reunion dinner that night, Ye Zhen observed Grandpa Lu’s spirits and energy level, but she didn’t get any clues. He seemed quite lively. As he ate and drank, he joked around. Perhaps, it was due to the effects of alcohol, his cheeks were ruddy. He didn’t seem like a sickly person at all.

As for this reunion dinner, Ye Zhen knew that the only reason why so many people were attending was because Old Master Lu had called them here. This reason made Ye Zhen more certain that her speculation was correct.

After the reunion dinner was over, Old Master Lu looked outside at the dark night. Holding Zhouzhou, he asked, “Zhouzhou, Great-Grandpa will take you to see fireworks. Okay?”

Zhouzhou happily clapped his hands. “Okay!”

Old Master Lu stumbled when he tried standing up. He almost fell down. Fortunately, Butler Lu was well-prepared and supported him on one side. Lu Beichuan quickly took Zhouzhou over and supported Old Master Lu with his other arm. It was due to these two people’s quick actions that Old Master Lu didn’t fall.

Everyone exclaimed.

Old Master Lu was trembling for a long time and couldn’t straighten himself. Finally, he raised his head and smiled. “I’m okay. I just drank too much.”

“Old Master Lu, I tried to persuade you, but you won’t listen. Drinking so much wine at your age...” ”Butler Lu looked very anxious. “Let me help you back to your room to rest.”

However, Old Master Lu waved him off. “It’s fine. Let’s go bring Zhouzhou out to watch fireworks.”

Zhouzhou grabbed Old Master Lu’s hand and very sensibly said, “Zhouzhou doesn’t want to see fireworks. Zhouzhou wants to sleep.”

“Look, Zhouzhou is so sensible at such a young age. How can you still mess around at your age?”

Lu Beichuan furrowed his brow. “Exactly. Butler Lu is right. Grandpa, go back to your room to rest. It’ll be the same to see the fireworks tomorrow night.”

Lu Shaoyan wasn’t as gently coaxing as Butler Lu and Lu Beichuan. He walked over to Old Master Lu to support him and unyieldingly insisted, “Alright enough, Dad. It’s okay. There’s no shame in getting old. I’ll watch the firework with you tomorrow night, alright?”

After saying that, regardless of what Old Master Lu wanted, he forcibly led Old Master Lu away.

From a distance, they could still hear Old Master Lu weakly cursing, “You darn brat...”

Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
