It's a suite, and the bed is still in it. If it weren't for knowing that this was a hospital, I wouldn't have seen that this was a ward, because all the settings were similar to the home environment.

Walking into the ward, which was equivalent to a bedroom, Cai Yue finally saw Mrs. Qiu, who was seriously ill.

Cai Yue has seen photos of Mrs. Qiu in Qiu Yan's villa. Qiu Yan's appearance is a combination of father and mother, so it can be seen that Mrs. Qiu is naturally an out-and-out beauty.

But the person lying on the bed in front of him was skinny, even skinny. An adult was lying under a quilt, but the bulge of the quilt was barely visible. Under the weak light, it can be seen that her face is obviously yellow, which should be a symptom of severe jaundice in the later stage of cancer.

When I came home a few months ago, my mother had lost some weight, but she wasn't as good as she is now. It's only been a few months, but my mother is already terminally ill and weak, just like two completely different people.

Qiu Yan couldn't stand this strong contrast and huge pain, and tears fell directly.

He sat down slowly in front of the bed, held his mother's thin hand, choked up and called softly: "Mom, Xiaoyan is back." ”

Mrs. Qiu's hand moved slightly, and she opened her eyes with great difficulty. Seeing the person in front of her, her dull eyes suddenly lit up, but she couldn't even speak, and her mouth could only make an excited "woo" sound, and at the same time, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Qiu Yan saw his mother crying, and his tears flowed down more.

Although Qiu Yan also cried in a low voice when Xiao Tian faked his death, Cai Yue was also in a deep sadness at that time and did not see it. This was the first time she had really seen Qiu Yan's tears flow down like this. She couldn't stand it, her nose was so sore that she cried too.

Madame Qiu could not speak, but could only grasp her only son's hand tightly, and looked at him with loving and eager eyes.

The mother and son burst into tears for a while, and Qiu Yan reacted from the initial excitement of seeing his mother, wiped away his tears, took Caiyue's hand, and introduced her to his mother.

"Mom, this is Caiyue! Don't you keep telling me that you really want to see her?"

Mrs. Qiu's eyes struggled to lift and saw Caiyue. She nodded at Caiyue.

"Mom told you to come over and get closer to her. After all, it was a son, and Qiu Yan immediately understood what his mother meant.

Cai Yue hurriedly took another step closer, Qiu Yan was held by his mother with one hand, and moved a stool in front of the hospital bed for Cai Yue with one hand.

Cai Yue sat down on the stool and said softly, "Hello, aunt!"

Because Qiu Yan and his mother speak Chinese, Caiyue also uses the same Chinese to say hello to Mrs. Qiu.

The corners of Madame Qiu's mouth curled, in response to her.

"Mom, you can recuperate with peace of mind, Caiyue and I won't leave for a while, so I'm here to accompany you. ”

Mrs. Qiu nodded happily.

After a little more stay in the ward, the nurse came in and reminded the patient that it was time to rest. Then a professional nurse came in to do some necessary bedtime hygiene and nursing work for Mrs. Qiu, and the nurse also gave Mrs. Qiu medicine to help her sleep.

Now that Mrs. Qiu is at the end of her life, all treatment measures are first and foremost aimed at improving her quality of life, such as ensuring her basic sleep time.

Qiu Yan and Caiyue could only exit the room.

At this time, Xue Yong had invited Mrs. Qiu's attending doctor to Qiu Yan's face. The doctor introduced Mrs. Qiu's situation to Qiu Yan in detail in English, and Qiu Yan lowered his head sadly after listening to it.

The doctor finished briefing and left.

Qiu Yan originally wanted to accompany his mother in the hospital, but considering that Caiyue had just arrived, he was afraid that she would not be able to adapt psychologically, and his mother was going to sleep, so it didn't make much sense for him to stay here, so he still left the hospital with Caiyue and got on the lengthened Lincoln again.

"Where are we going now?"

"My home. Qiu Yan's eyes looked out the car window.

In less than half an hour, the extended Lincoln entered the gates of a quiet manor. Because it was night, the moon pickers were a little tired, and the situation outside the car window was not very real. After driving through a not-so-short driveway, the car stopped in front of a luxurious baroque building.

After getting out of the car and looking at this luxurious and huge building, Cai Yue only felt a little like a dream, how could this look like in a movie.

An elderly Chinese man in his sixties, who looked to be a housekeeper, led four servants to stand in front of the gate of the building, waiting for Qiu Yan. Seeing that the car stopped, the old man immediately stepped forward quickly.

"Young Master, are you back?"

The housekeeper continued to use the domestic title of young master. It can be seen that this is an old man who has been in the Qiu family for many years. Maybe he has served in the Qiu family since his predecessor.

"Uncle Xiang, I've made you wait so late, I've worked hard for you!" Qiu Yan also looked very respectful of the old man.

"It should. The master has been waiting for you in his study for a long time!"

When Uncle Xiang mentioned Qiu Yan's father, he did not use the title of "Mr. Councilor" like the bodyguard, and Cai Yue was even more sure that this Uncle Xiang was an old man with very old qualifications in the Qiu family.

Qiu Yan's family background, Qiu Yan himself didn't mention much about Caiyue, but she heard more from Xiao Tian's mouth.

The Qiu family has been a prominent eunuch since the Ming Dynasty, and it is a real famous family. At the peak of the Qiu family, they even married the royal family for several generations.

Qiu Yan's grandfather met his grandmother when he was still in school, and his grandmother returned to China after marrying into the Qiu family, but because of the frequent civil wars, his grandmother was not adapted, so Qiu Yan's grandfather took his wife back to the United States.

Qiu Yan's grandmother's maiden family, his maternal great-grandfather's family, is a noble family with a very strong background in the United States.

His maternal great-grandfather, who had been a diplomat in his youth, had met a prince on official business in China. Soon after, this Gege married Qiu Yan's maternal great-grandfather and went abroad with her husband after his term of office expired. The youngest daughter born to Gege and the diplomat was Qiu Yan's grandmother.

So, Qiu Yan's grandmother was a half-Chinese ancestry.

Soon after Qiu Yan's maternal great-grandfather returned to China, he was elected to the House of Representatives. Much later, he became Speaker of the House of Representatives. Except for the youngest and most beloved youngest daughter, who married a Chinese, the other children of the speaker are married to people in the United States. So, many of Qiu Yan's blood relatives are authentic Americans.

Qiu Yan's mother is also Chinese, but even so, Qiu Yan's bloodline is not pure Chinese blood. Therefore, he has a lot of mixed-race characteristics on his body. For example, his skin is much whiter than normal Chinese, his eyes are very beautiful amber, and his height is 3 cm taller than Xiao Tian, which is the standard height of a male model of 185.

The other four servants who followed behind Uncle Xiang also bent down neatly to greet Qiu Yan at this time.

"Young Master!"

Cai Yue glanced at it carefully, these four servants are two men and two women, they don't seem to be too young, there are foreigners and Chinese, they should be servants with a certain status who are in charge of a certain aspect of affairs in the Qiu family. Because Caiyue had already seen that this huge and majestic building was by no means something that could be taken care of by just a few servants.

Following Qiu Yan into the first door, Caiyue saw the front hall of the building in front of him. The roof is more than ten meters high, and it feels like entering a palace.

Uncle Xiang led the way for the young master in front. After passing through a corridor that is not short and dozens of meters long, and there is a garden, I entered the backyard behind the main building of this building, passed through a main door, and went up to the second floor, until I reached the innermost room, Uncle Xiang knocked on the door twice and said respectfully: "Master, the young master has arrived!"

Before seeing the current supreme leader of the Qiu clan in person, Cai Yue was already a little nervous. When she got here, she really got a taste of what a real aristocratic house looks like.

A soft cough sounded in the room: "Come in!"

Uncle Xiang opened the door and bent down slightly to invite Qiu Yan in, but stopped Caiyue from the door.

Qiu Yan did not stop Uncle Xiang's behavior, because in the Qiu family, the authority of the male owner is supreme. In the case that his father did not make it clear that he wanted to see Caiyue, Qiu Yan did not take Caiyue directly to see his father.

"You wait a bit. After whispering this sentence to Caiyue, Qiu Yan turned his head and ordered: "Uncle Xiang, you take Caiyue to sit next to you and rest for a while." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Cai Yue herself wished that it was best not to see this Qiu Dong tonight. She had only been standing here for a short time, and the pressure had already made her a little uncomfortable.

Only then did she understand that although in private, Qiu Yan had always been very gentle with her, the coercion on his body seemed to be impossible to eliminate. There's really a reason for that.

I don't know if Qiu Guoguang felt sorry for her or what, he really didn't want to summon her. Uncle Xiang led her to a room not far away, where a servant served her refreshments and then withdrew. To pass the time, she picked up a book from the bookshelf and flipped it up.

About half an hour later, Qiu Yan pushed open the door to the room.

"Tired or not?"

She immediately put down the book in her hand and stood up: "I'm not tired, I slept on the plane for a few hours, and I seem to be in good spirits at this moment." ”

Qiu Yan smiled, "Since you are in good spirits, then I will take you around." ”

Cai Yue nodded hurriedly. She was originally a person with a great sense of direction, and if Qiu Yan didn't take her around, she was afraid that she would get lost in this house the next day.

Qiu Yan took her hand and turned from the main building first. First the first layer, then the second layer, then the third layer.

It's good that the result is not turned, but the more you turn to pick the moon, the more confused you become. Still, there are some things she remembers. For example, on the left-hand side after going up the stairs on the third floor, the entire half of the floor is full of famous works, including Chinese and foreign paintings, sculptures, collectible precision clocks, and other handicraft collections, which are dazzling.

It's no wonder that Qiu Yan used the art of painting and making wax sculptures and wax figures to kill the time he missed her.
