When Gu Shao and Gu Xi rushed to the hospital, the old man was lying in the intensive care ward.
"How could this be? Is Grandpa okay?" Seeing Old Master Gu lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed and motionless, Gu Xi lowered his voice, but asked nervously.
The doctor on the side saw that Gu Xi was on the glass of the ward, and looked inside with worry, and said, "You can go in and see your grandfather."
Hearing this, Gu Xi was taken aback.
"Is it alright?" Gu Xi turned to look at the doctor uncertainly and asked, "Will it affect Grandpa's treatment if I go in?"
"It doesn't matter, you can go in," the doctor said gently, after a pause, and then muttered as if to himself: "Maybe you go in, your grandfather will wake up earlier."
Gu Xi has only heard of some miracle stories of people whose consciousness is closed and unable to regain consciousness for a long time, and has never heard of a situation like the old man who needs to be awakened.
However, since the doctor had already said it, Gu Xi nodded, put on special clothes and entered the old man's ward.
Gu Xi cautiously walked to Old Master Gu's hospital bed and sat down there. His movements were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing Old Master Gu.
At this time, the doctor's voice came from the sound transmission equipment in the ward: "You can talk to your grandfather, it doesn't matter."
Gu Xi nodded and looked at the old man on the hospital bed.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but the old man is still the same as before. At this time, the old man is lying on the hospital bed, as if he is asleep.
It's just that the various medical instruments on the old man's body are distressing.
Based on Gu Xi's understanding of the old man Gu: the old man is a person who can afford to let go. If it is not too hard, this is impossible.
The worry in Gu Xi's eyes deepened.
"Grandpa?" Gu Xi called out.
Grandpa Gu didn't respond.
Gu Xi paused, then whispered, "Grandpa, you have to wake up sooner."
"My brother and I and Sheng Xiuyan won the third prize in our competition. I haven't shared it with you yet."
"Grandpa, didn't you say that when we get the prize, you will give me a big red envelope? You can't break your promise."
"I still have a lot of things to share with you..."
Once, in the Lin family, the late Mr. Lin was only a vague impression to Gu Xi.
And whether it was from Xu Jiaofeng or Zhang Cui, Gu Xi had never felt the care from her elders until she was brought to Gu's house by Gu Shao.
She doesn't know how other people's grandpa Gu Xi, anyway, in her eyes, old man Gu is the best grandpa.
"Thank you grandpa for accepting me, he didn't mind my existence, he didn't dislike me, and he prepared a lot of things for me..."
Halfway through, Gu Xi was stunned for a moment: She felt that the old man seemed to have moved just now!
"Grandpa, are you awake?!" Gu Xi called out to Grandpa Gu in surprise.
As a result, Gu Xi was disappointed.
The old man on the hospital bed remained motionless.
—So, was it just her delusion just now
Gu Xi thought to herself, her eyes filled with disappointment.
In the novel, there are too few descriptions about the Gu family, but it is also vaguely known that in the later stage of the novel, the Gu family was destroyed and the old man Gu died on the way to be sent for inspection because of the heavy blow.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi held Old Man Gu's hand tightly.
Even though the Lin family and Gu Yaobai were all over this time and Xie Hongbo was arrested, Gu Xi couldn't help but worry about the old man Gu.
—
Outside the ward, looking at the grandfather and grandson in the ward, Gu Shao asked the doctor in a deep voice, "What is the situation now, old man?"
"The patient's current condition is very stable," the doctor said, taking the examination report next to him, and said: "High pressure 136, low pressure 91, heart rate 69, cholesterol 5.6, triglyceride 8.1, slightly high, lipoprotein 91…”
Hearing the doctor say a series of numbers, Gu Shao frowned slightly and interrupted: "Speak directly."
"Speaking directly—" The doctor paused for a few seconds, glanced at Gu Shao, and said, "It's your old man's current situation... There are more ingredients."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he received a cold look from Gu Shao.
The doctor hesitated in his heart and quickly explained, "Yes, it's true."
"And all these are requested by the old man himself." The Gu family is the major shareholder of their hospital, and they have to cooperate with the request of the old man.
Arranging people in the intensive care unit is also the meaning of the old man. As for the exaggerated instruments on the old man, they are just bluffing on the surface, and most of them are ordinary medical examination instruments.
Even what looked like a breathing mask wasn't an oxygen tube.
It's just that the weather in City B has been dry recently, and the sand and dust are a bit serious. The old man's throat is uncomfortable, so he just gave him a mist therapy.
"What's the matter with high blood lipids?" Gu Shao asked again.
"It's just high, it's not very high." The doctor quickly explained.
"If you have to explain the reason, it's probably because the old man has eaten too well recently."
This is true - Mr. Gu is a veteran cadre after all, and the people from the Gu family have specially greeted him. The people at the prosecutor's side are worried that the old man will not be used to it, so they try to prepare the food for the old man as much as possible.
Usually, because of his old age, Mr. Gu eats lightly at home, but during the few days he was under investigation, he ate 'good' food for a few days, which made his blood lipids rise.
Hearing the doctor's words, Gu Shao's mouth twitched slightly.
"When will people wake up?"
"It's hard to say," the doctor said, changing the subject and adding: "But elderly people have light sleep and short sleep time, and it is estimated that they will wake up soon."
Therefore, the current situation of the old man is at most - asleep.
—
Sure enough, as soon as the doctor's voice fell, Gu Shao saw with a sharp eye that Old Man Gu's eyes on the hospital bed squinted slightly, then secretly glanced at Gu Xi, and quickly closed them again.
Gu Shao: "..."
In fact, Mr. Gu woke up before Gu Xi and the others came.
After all, I slept too much, and it is not so easy to fall asleep.
It's just that the acting has to be a full set: before the 'trouble' is completely resolved, he can't be alive and kicking right away, and he still wants to lie on the bed for a few days.
As for the purpose of Mr. Gu's doing this, it is entirely to avoid trouble.
- The downfall of Xie Hongbo also brought a lot of losses to the Gu family.
Whether it was the minor or minor problems that the Gu family was exposed to during the game between the two parties, or because of the consideration of weighing the pros and cons and balancing the forces, this time, it is obviously impossible for the Gu family to retreat without any loss. .
That's why Mr. Gu deliberately pretended to be in an emergency and was sent to the doctor.
Who would embarrass a battered, overwhelmed, precarious old man
So the people at the top saw that the Gu family's problems were almost dealt with, and they couldn't bear it, so they sent Mr. Gu back.
If not, I don't know how long I will stay with those prosecutors, but it's alright.
I have to say that the old man's move is a bit of a loss, but it is useful.
—
As for why the old man didn't 'wake up' at the moment, it was mainly because he heard the words of his precious granddaughter and was reluctant to 'wake up'.
Usually at home, a few young people know how to trick him into giving out pocket money. It is rare to hear Gu Xi say so many heart-warming words at this time. The old man has a good heart. He wants to listen more, and naturally he does not want to interrupt Gu Xi if.
—
Here, Gu Xi was talking, her eyes were blurred by her tears, so she didn't notice Old Man Gu's small movements.
"The surname Xie and the troubles of the Lin family are resolved. In the future, our family will be fine again, and we will all be fine."
"So, Grandpa, you have to be good too, and don't have anything to do."
"When I came home, it was my grandfather, my uncle and aunt, my uncle and aunt, and my elder brother and younger brother Gu Chenyi who were taking care of me. I haven't repaid you yet."
"Grandpa wants to watch me grow up, and watch the plane tree in front of our house grow up, right?"
"I haven't even done my filial piety to you, so you can't do anything..."
As Gu Xi spoke, the more she talked, the more worried she became. Even her words became incoherent and her voice became muffled.
Gu Xi didn't cry, but tears fell out of her red eyes uncontrollably.
"It's okay..." Gu Xi muttered to herself, raised her sleeves and rubbed her eyes carelessly.
But the tears still fell down.
—
When he noticed that his baby granddaughter was crying, the old man Gu on the hospital bed was startled, how could he still pretend.
Old Man Gu quickly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Oh, oh, why is our baby Xixi crying, don't cry, don't cry." Old Man Gu looked at Gu Xi nervously and said.
And Gu Xi was taken aback by the old man Gu who suddenly came 'fresh', and looked at the other side blankly, dumbfounded.
"Grandpa, you..." Gu Xi's thoughts got stuck for two seconds, and when she realized it, she got up and called the doctor.
Old Man Gu stopped Gu Xi.
"Don't, don't, don't call a doctor, grandpa is fine."
Facing Gu Xi's doubtful eyes, Old Man Gu quickly explained again: "Grandpa is fine, I pretended it all before."
Old Man Gu briefly explained to Gu Xi why he pretended to be sick.
Gu Xi nodded.
At this time, Gu Shao walked in, and behind Gu Shao, the rest of the Gu family rushed to the hospital in one step.
"Don't pretend?" Gu Shao asked with raised eyebrows at the old man.
"Pretend, of course you have to keep pretending." As Old Man Gu said, he moved his muscles and bones, and then lay back on his ICU bed.
Mr. Gu turned his head to look at the doctor next to him: "The whole body bone examination you mentioned earlier, and the organ activity test, arrange it for me."
Come here, you can't occupy the bed and do nothing and waste medical resources.
"You said just now that you won the third prize? Was it the previous 'Tianchuang Contest'?" Old Man Gu asked with concern.
Gu Xi: "..." The old man really didn't miss anything.
"That's it." Gu Xi nodded.
Gu Yanlin, who was standing at the back, also stepped forward and showed the old man the live photo on his phone: "Look, this is the photo of the award ceremony."
Their 'Xibo' project finally won the third prize in the 'Future Technology Group'.
Although he didn't get the first place because of his technical level, he also couldn't get the one million that Gu Xixin was thinking of.
However, their project has been recognized by many experts and investors, and they have also won two NTN project sponsorships with their strength.
That's enough of a surprise.
On the way, Gu Xi was still thinking that the matter of Xie Hongbo was resolved, and Mr. Gu should be going home soon. Maybe she would be able to tell Mr. Gu the good news as soon as she got home. rescue news.
Fortunately, just a false alarm.
"However, Grandpa, are you really all right?" Gu Xi stared at Grandpa Gu seriously and asked in a serious tone.
After all, the loss of the Gu family is real, as is the honor that the old man was revoked.
In this regard, the old man Gu is very open.
"Of course it's fine." Old Man Gu said with a wave of his hand.
Today's losses are much smaller than he expected, and the biggest hidden danger of the surnamed Xie has been resolved, which is something to be happy about.
If it weren't for the meaning of lying here for two more days, the old man wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Thinking of what Gu Xi said in front of the hospital bed just now, Old Man Gu was moved, smiled and looked at the four precious cubs in front of him, "Grandpa must be fine."
"I have to watch how many of you are in the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, and university."
—
Grandpa Gu didn't break his promise.
For the next few years, the old man's body has always been great.
What makes Mr. Gu very proud is that he watched his three grandsons take the high school entrance examination and then took the college entrance examination.
On the day of Gu Xi and the three of them taking the college entrance examination, Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen went outside the examination room and pulled up a big banner to cheer for the three of them.
There is only one thing that Mr. Gu regrets very much—he was such a shrewd person that he actually did something to bring wolves into the house!
—Not a wolf, but a puppy!
