Chapter 589: I Heard That Wei Lou Got Someone as Well

He lowered his voice and spoke in a deep and quiet tone. He sounded convincing, but he knew just how untrue this was.

This was deception.

In a social circle like theirs, nobody really cared what the majority population thought. What mattered was whether there was any blemish on the individual.

Any blemish that did not make it to the news could be washed over.

But once it became public, Wei Qi’s future would be greatly affected!

That Ye fellow was more hard-hearted than he looked. He was also cruel enough to trample over them easily, leaving them with no guts to fight back.

“Chen Chen has made it into Qing University and Professor Cheng Wu favors her, she has a bright future. She didn’t do things right this time, and I’ve already told her off. She’s not silly, she knows her mistake. You…” Shen Jingyan inhaled sharply as he turned to look at her.

“I know.”

Of course, Wei Ling knew that Qiao Chen had made it into Qing University. If it wasn’t for the fact that Qiao Chen made it into Qing University but not Qiao Nian, she would have slapped her already. She held back simply because she knew that Qiao Chen had a bright future.

Wei Ling slowly calmed herself down and turned to Shen Jingyan and the Qiao Family coldly. “She needs to stop acting as she wishes in the future. Discuss things with us before doing anything. If this happens again, I can’t even help her as an aunt!”

“Of course, of course. I’ll tell her off when we get back.” Shen Qiongzhi knew that Qiao Chen had caused huge trouble this time. Upon seeing that Wei Ling was willing to let things go, she quickly smiled and nodded submissively.

Wei Ling couldn’t be bothered with her. She was still furious and was better off not looking at Shen Qiongzhi. She turned to the man and said seriously, “Mom told me that Old Master might not make it.”

Shen Jingyan felt his heart sink. He frowned and asked, “When was this?”

“Yesterday,” Wei Ling said softly, but she sounded stressed out by it. “Old Master has been slipping into unconsciousness every now and then since yesterday. The doctor said there’s some internal bleeding, and he was in critical condition at one point last evening. But in the morning, he was conscious and clear again. His blood pressure rose again just now and he was going into a coma again, it could be a stroke.”

Strokes were common among the elderly.

They differed in severity. Some stroke patients recovered perfectly fine if the stroke wasn’t serious and if it was treated in time.

But if the stroke happened to be serious and was not attended to in time, the consequences could be dire.

The worst-case scenario was instant death.

A slightly better case would result in partial paralysis and affected cognition among others… in other words, even a better case might mean losing the ability to live and function independently.

Wei Ling was in a cheongsam and a shawl today. She didn’t avoid Qiao Weimin and Shen Qiongzhi as she said to Shen Jingyan slowly and seriously, “My grandpa’s health hasn’t been good all along. And these two years, he’s been… in bed most of the time. If it’s a stroke, the situation is probably bad. I’d planned to return to Beijing today, but now Wei Qi…”

Her tone wasn’t too pleasant as she brought this up.

Shen Qiongzhi and Qiao Weimin stood by the side like students who’d misbehaved.

The good thing was that Wei Ling did not have the energy to bother about them at this point. She inhaled deeply and said, “My mom intends to get Liang Lu to operate on Old Master. I heard that Wei Lou had gotten someone as well, but I’m not sure who. I doubt there’s another local surgeon as skilled as Liang Lu. I wonder if he’s gotten a specialist from overseas?”

A flash of disgust and annoyance shone in Wei Ling’s eyes as she mentioned her cousin.
