Chapter 786: Second Aunt, When Did Second Sister-in-law Get Pregnant?

Eldest Master Lu did not have the chance to answer them, as the Director and the Deputy Director came out of the operating room.

They had personally pushed Patriarch Lu into the operating room and the moment they came out, they saw Zi Yi who was standing in a corner.

The Deputy Director’s eyes brightened up as he called out, “Little Zi, you’re here!”

Zi Yi had a widespread reputation throughout all the hospitals in the capital. Moreover, Elder Hu also mentioned that the treatment plan he provided for Patriarch Lu was taught by Zi Yi.

“Quick, come over. Right now, you are the only one that can save Patriarch Lu.”

Zi Yi did not say anything, but she took a step closer toward Lu Jingye and stood behind him.

Just then, everyone was looking at her with hope in their eyes.

Zi Yi maintained a taut expression and did not speak. From the looks of it, she was not willing to help.

Before the others had the chance to speak, Yang Yuelan who was standing with them got anxious. Her tone of voice was also a little sharp. “Zi Yi, Grandfather is already in such a state and you are still indifferent to him? As the Lu Family’s daughter-in-law, don’t tell me you plan to look on as something happens to Grandfather?”

Her words caused Lu Jingye and Mrs. Lu’s expressions to change in an instant.

The others had also looked at Yang Yuelan.

Eldest Master Lu shouted at her, “You, keep your mouth shut!”

Zi Yi did not stand behind Lu Jingye anymore. She stepped out and said with a sneer, “As to whether I save him or not, I don’t need you to use morals to kidnap me.”

“Little Zi, don’t listen to her. You can make up your own mind about this and we won’t force you.” Eldest Master Lu also hoped that Zi Yi could help, but he knew that he could only take a soft approach at this moment. If he came on too strong, then he was really pushing his Father to his death.

“If you don’t know how to talk, get lost! Are you despising the fact that there aren’t enough troubles already?!” Eldest Master Lu lectured Yang Yuelan to the extent that her ears turned red. She knew she said something wrong and she could only shrink back and lower her head, while remaining silent.

However, the atmosphere turned for the worse.

The Deputy Director also knew that he was making things difficult for Zi Yi and so, he smiled a little. In order to ease the atmosphere, he said, “Elder Hu will be arriving soon. It’s the same if he comes top.”

Having said that, he added. “You don’t have to worry too much either. Last night, the other four families had also sent in some patients.”

He originally wanted to say that even if the news of Patriarch Lu fainting was spread out, the patients from the other four families would also divert some of the attention. However, when he was about to say that, he found it inappropriate and kept his mouth shut.

Eldest Master Lu glanced at Zi Yi and looked back to the operating room. “When will Elder Hu be arriving?”

The Director was the one who answered him. “Ten minutes at the most.”

Eldest Master Lu did not speak any further.

…

The outside world.

With such a huge financial storm happening in the capital’s financial circle, it could be said that the whole high society had been affected.

Not only the Lu Group had suffered. It was the same for the Ouyang Family, the He Family, the Qin Family, and the Dongfang Family.

The elderlies of the family were sent to the hospital at the same time, as if it was no longer a sensational piece of news anymore.

In addition, with such a huge incident happening, the government had also activated its emergency response by blocking the news. They also strictly prohibited the media from reporting about it. In the event that even the slightest news was leaked out, they will be held accountable.

However, as to which companies and families the financial storm had affected last night, many people were aware of it.

“Heavens, was last night’s financial storm so severe? Have you taken a look at the capital’s stock market today? Many of the companies have plunged to the bottom!”

“Not only that. There are also many multinational companies whose stocks have stopped rising. In particular, the UP Group, who was ranked 8th. I heard that their market value has dropped by hundreds of billions and that their ranking has dropped out of the top fifty.”

“How terrifying! What exactly happened last night?”

“It should be a fight amongst the predators of the business world. I heard that every year, during New Year’s Eve, there would be a financial storm. However, in the past, the companies have mostly successfully defended themselves and there were not many movements or fluctuations. I don’t know why but so many companies have all collapsed this year.”

“In particular, I heard that five out of the eight aristocratic families have suffered miserably and they are almost about to go bankrupt.”

“No way! They are wealthy families and they have remained unscathed for so many years. How is it that they were defeated this year?”

“Don’t you know about it? I heard it’s because of the Second Young Master Lu.”

“What does this have to do with him?”

“He married Zi Yi! I heard that those families had treated Zi Yi badly and tried every means to suppress her. Out of anger, the Second Young Master Lu attacked them.”

“Is the Second Young Master Lu so powerful?”

“He had developed the Lu Group into being the top company worldwide in a few years’ time, tell me if he’s powerful or not? He’s someone who has the nickname of a cash cow amongst the high society.”

“Oh my… then did he really dare to oppose several of the aristocratic families for a woman?”

“Why are you worried about them for? Even if those families lose their company, their foundation is still there. No matter what, they are still in a better state than us.”

“That’s right. But then again, who is this Zi Yi? How was she capable of having the Second Young Master Lu be at odds with the other aristocratic families? Is it just because she’s beautiful? If so, isn’t she a femme fatale?”

“She is a femme fatale!”

…

As to how the outside world discussed the situation, the group of people in the hospital were completely unaware of it.

Elder Hu rushed over within ten minutes and Elder Tang also came over together with him.

By the time they came out of the elevator, they appeared to be a little out of breath and they had apparently run over.

“Elder Hu, Elder Tang.”

The Director and the Deputy Director quickly went over to them.

However, there seemed to be a radar in Elder Hu and Elder Tang’s eyes as they saw Zi Yi standing with the other Lu Family members at a glance.

“Little Zi!”

“Girl!”

Everyone looked on helplessly as the two old men who were panting just a second ago appeared in front of Zi Yi within a second. Both of them were pulling her on each side.

“Aiya, I was just talking to Elder Tang and guessing what you were doing. I didn’t expect you to be here too. Come on, let’s go in and enjoy ourselves together.”

Elder Tang’s hand just so happened to rest on Zi Yi’s wrist. Just as he was about to speak in agreement with Elder Hu, he raised his brow as his voice sounded happy. “Girl, You’re pregnant?”

Zi Yi nodded her head. “Yes.”

The moment this news was made public, Lu Zhiheng and Yang Yuelan’s expressions were interesting to look at.

The Director and the Deputy Director were busy congratulating her.

Lu Jingye said, “Yiyi cannot do an operation.”

Elder Tang and Elder Hu looked at each other and the former nodded his head. “Indeed.”

Elder Hu said, “It doesn’t matter if she can’t. She can come in and watch us operate on Patriarch Lu.”

As soon as they said that, they each grabbed one of Zi Yi’s arms and dragged her into the operating room.

One second before the door was closed, Mrs. Lu called out, “Oh! My Yiyi hasn’t eaten much in the morning and you should let her have something to eat first before going inside.”

Her words had been isolated outside by the closed door and it was not known if those inside the room could hear her.

Mrs. Lu was a little anxious and she nudged Lu Jingye. “Jingye, get someone to buy some food for Yiyi to eat.”

Lu Jingye nodded his head, took out his phone, and went elsewhere to make a call.

Ever since Yang Yuelan heard that Zi Yi was pregnant, there seemed to be something pressing on her heart and she could not breathe. She felt extremely jealous deep down inside and her tone of voice contained a hint of sourness that could not be concealed. “Second Aunt, when did Second Sister-in-law get pregnant?”
