Without Mr. Lu, the bustling room was more leisurely, with twos and threes holding a glass of wine and chatting. From time to time, someone would come to toast Lu Beichuan, and Lu Beichuan would give face or not.
Take a sip to save face, and respond casually without giving face, always keep in mind what Ye Zhen said before, don't get drunk.
What's more, Lu Beichuan had to stay awake without knowing the specific situation of Mr. Lu.
"Porridge, did you fall just now?" Ye Zhen squatted down and looked at him.
If it fell just now, it would definitely not be light.
Congee squinted and smiled, "Daddy hugged me!"
Ye Zhen smiled and stroked the back of his head, looking towards Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan also heard Porridge's voice, and looked sideways. The two people's eyes met, and they both saw the smile in the other's eyes.
Mr. Lu, who was helped back to the room by Lu Bo and Lu Shaoyan, didn't look very well. He was supported to sit on the sofa and panted.
As soon as Lu Bo helped him sit down, he quickly took several pills of various medicines from the cabinet. Lu Shaoyan brought a glass of warm water and brought it to Mr. Lu.
The old man was panting badly, and he swallowed the medicine together. Lu Shaoyan gave him a smooth breath on one side, and he took a long rest before he stabilized.
Seeing Mr. Lu like this, Lu Bo became anxious, "Old man, this is not good, I will call the doctor over."
Mr. Lu waved his hand, "What's your name? It's Chinese New Year. You just sent the doctor away and now you call him back. You still don't let him celebrate Chinese New Year."
"But your body..."
"It's okay, old problem, I'll be fine after taking the medicine and resting for a while," said Mr. Lu, looking at Lu Shaoyan, "You also go out and play with them, don't stay with me, I'll be fine after a rest."
"You still say it's okay after you're like this? You're getting more and more confused. I thought you were different from other old men. Now I see, it's about the same."
Hearing this, Old Man Lu laughed instead of anger, "Now it's up to me, I'm so used to you!"
Lu Bo sent a blanket to cover the old man, and Lu Shaoyan tucked him in, "In the past few days, you should stay in the room and rest honestly, and don't meddle in those things outside. It's serious to take care of your body first. New Year's Eve This happens every year, and only if you take good care of your body can we spend the New Year with you every year, right?"
"Dad is getting old, and his body is failing. How many years can he be with you?"
Lu Shaoyan was silent for a moment, and then laughed again, "What nonsense, after the new year is over, let's go to the hospital for a check-up. We are not afraid of any illnesses, and treat them as soon as possible. Now that medicine is advanced, if you can't cure it at home, you can go abroad. Governance, it will be fine.”
"Overseas treatment..." Mr. Lu sighed regretfully, "Did your mother's illness also be cured abroad?"
Maybe it's because he's getting old, Mr. Lu likes to think about the past very much recently, but when he thinks about the past every time, regrets and regrets always make him sleepless at night.
Some things have become regrets, and no matter how long it takes, the more irreparable it is.
Mr. Lu is rich and powerful, but he can't change the past.
Lu Shaoyan didn't speak, kept silent, just looked at him for a moment.
"Your mother... is she okay now?"
Lu Shaoyan didn't speak, and Mr. Lu's heart hung for no reason.
"Tell me, is your mother okay now?"
Perhaps because he saw something, Lu Bo came over and persuaded with a smile: "Old man, it's getting late, you should have a good rest first, let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do."
But Mr. Lu turned a deaf ear, stared at Lu Shaoyan, his hands trembled unknowingly, "What's wrong with your mother?"
After a long silence, Lu Shaoyan's expressionless face was completely different from his usual bohemian appearance, "I told you a long time ago that she is fine abroad now."
Lu Shaoyan stood up, "You are not in good health, go to bed early."
Mr. Lu wanted to arrest him and ask him a few more questions, but Lu Shaoyan forcibly brushed his hand away, "I'm leaving first."
"Old Lu, stop him, I still... have something to ask him!" Mr. Lu was emotional, his chest heaving uncontrollably.
Lu Bo didn't stop Lu Shaoyan, just watched him go out, and tried to persuade Mr. Lu, "Mr., your physical doctor said years ago that even if you don't go to the hospital for treatment, you have to take care of yourself. Why bother to work hard all day?" No matter how big it is, can it be bigger than your body? Listen to what Old Lu said, take care of your body, and you can ask whatever you want, okay? "
"No, this matter... Shaoyan must be hiding something from me, he must be hiding something from me!"
Lu Bo almost knelt down to Mr. Lu, "It's been so many years, what else can you change now! Shao Yan doesn't want to say it, there must be a reason why he doesn't want to say it..."
Mr. Lu urged Lu Bo, "Go, ask! Quick, quick!"
Seeing that Lu Bo didn't move, Mr. Lu said loudly, "Go!"
For a while, I was short of breath, and my breathing became rapid again.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask, you have a good rest, I'll go now!"
Mr. Lu urged him in every possible way, but in desperation, Lu Bo had no choice but to go out worried.
As an old man of the Lu family, Lu Bo had been with Mr. Lu when he was young, and he knew all about the past of the Lu family, and was an insider back then.
But it's been so many years, it's been so many years, it's hard to get over it, Mr. Lu has done everything he can and should do, what else can he do
He sighed helplessly, and just as he closed the door, he saw Lu Shaoyan smoking a cigarette standing in the shadow not far from the corridor.
The courtyard was dimly lit, reflecting Lu Shaoyan's complexion.
Lu Bo walked in and shouted in a deep voice, "Speak less."
Lu Shaoyan glanced at the door, "Dad asked you to ask me?"
"Yes, sir, let me ask you..."
"You don't need to ask," Lu Shaoyan cut off the cigarette and interrupted him, "Tell him that my mother is doing well abroad now, so he doesn't have to worry about it and can take care of his illness."
"But… "
Lu Shaoyan didn't want to say anything more, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, turned around and left.
It was not easy for Ruby to stop him, looking at his back, he sighed helplessly.
In the dead of night, the Lu family's old house, which had been bustling and bustling all day, fell into tranquility. Lu Bo walked out of Mr. Lu's room exhausted after he settled Mr. Lu to rest.
Lu Bo was old, had served the Lu family all his life, and his body was no longer what it used to be. Although he didn't have any ailments when he was young, he was tired after a day of hard work when he was old.
Arching his back, taking a step or two and pausing for a while to rest, he walked out of the corridor and walked towards Lu Beichuan.
Lu Bo straightened up, and before he could say anything, he was supported by Lu Beichuan.
"Master, you are..."
Lu Beichuan bowed to support him, "I'll help you go back and rest."
Lu Beichuan's face was tough, and Lu Bo wanted to decline politely, but the hands supporting him were extraordinarily strong.
Lu Bo sighed silently, "Thank you, Master."
"You took care of me since I was a child, and now I should take care of you."
"You can't say that. It's my job to take care of you. It's not appropriate for you to do this."
Lu Beichuan had a humble attitude, "You are the elder and I am the junior, and the junior should take care of the elder."
Lu Bo couldn't shirk it, seeing Lu Beichuan's tough attitude, he couldn't say anything more.
Back in the room, Lu Beichuan helped Lu Bo to sit down on the sofa, and brought him a glass of warm water.
Lu Bo took two sips and put it on the table. He hammered his sore shoulder and looked at Lu Beichuan, "Master, you can go back and rest. I'm fine here."
Lu Beichuan didn't leave, but looked around the room and asked, "Lu Bo has been in the Lu family for more than fifty years, right?"
"No, it's been fifty-seven years."
"Grandpa was there when he was young, and you have worked hard for so many years."
Lu Bo smiled slightly, "It's all what I should do, no hard work."
"How is grandpa recently?"
Lu Bo was stunned for a moment, then smiled unnaturally: "The doctor checked it a few days ago, and it was okay, but the old man suffered some injuries when he was young, and he suffered a lot when he was old. The doctor said that he needs to take good care of him."
Lu Beichuan nodded, "Since it was a disease brought on when I was young, why are there so many medicines for treating cancer at home?"
Lu Bo was startled, and just about to refute, he heard Lu Beichuan say: "Lu Bo, don't rush to explain, I checked, you sent a total of five doctors out of the old house today, and as far as I know, these doctors are treating He is an expert in cancer, and he has not been in the old house for a day or two. I have also checked the medicines that the servants are carrying today, and they are medicines for treating cancer."
Lu Beichuan paused, and sat down beside Lu Bo, "In the past, there were only one or two doctors who checked grandpa's body, and they were all ordinary doctors. There was no one else living in the old house except grandpa. So, those doctors, those medicines are all arranged for grandpa, right?"
Lu Beichuan's words have actually told all the truth.
Ruburt didn't know how to respond.
"Lubo, tell me the truth, Grandpa's body, isn't it..."
Lu Bo sighed and nodded heavily, "Yes, the old man's health is getting worse and worse."
"When did this happen."
"It happened in March and April. At that time, the old man was not feeling well. He was afraid of medical treatment and refused to go to the hospital. He only asked the doctor to come for an examination. The doctor also asked him to go to the hospital for a thorough examination at the time, but the old man refused. After procrastinating and procrastinating, it dragged on for more than two months, and then I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the hospital, and the test result was advanced liver cancer."
Lu Beichuan didn't understand, "Grandpa has a regular physical examination every year, why didn't he find the pre-stage liver cancer?"
"Since coming to the old house, the old man hasn't been checked by a doctor again," Lu Bo said helplessly, "The old man always said that he was in good health, and he knew his body well, so he refused to go to the hospital."
"Why?"
Lu Bo said in a deep voice: "Maybe, it's because I remembered the past. Ever since Yan Shao came back, the old man has been in an unstable mood, and I don't know how to persuade him."
Lu Beichuan had heard a little about what happened back then, but it was not something that a junior like him could intervene in.
Lu Beichuan pondered for a moment, "This won't work, I'll send grandpa to the hospital for treatment tomorrow."
"The old man will not agree to go to the hospital," Lu Bo said. "The old man said that going to the hospital for treatment is suffering. It is better to rest at home and walk the last part of the journey comfortably and quietly."
"If treated conservatively..."
"Master," Lu Bo interrupted him, earnestly said, "I persuaded the old man to go to the hospital for treatment, but the old man said that he didn't want anyone to know about his illness. Do you know why he called all the Lu family back?"
"That's because the old man has already contacted a lawyer and plans to declare the ownership of the property in these two days, so as to prevent you from arguing after his death."
