Chapter 2029: Here and Then

Hokuto First Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.

Old Man Luo closed his eyes tightly, his face turned white, and his increasingly thin body was surrounded by various medical equipment such as sling needles and wires.

There was hardly any blood on his old face. If it weren't for the slight heaval of his chest, some people would have mistaken him for being dead.

Luo Xue saw this scene through the glass, she couldn't control her emotions, tears rolled in her eyes, "How can this be...... The last time I saw my grandfather, he was fine, how could he ...... so quickly"

"Last time?Xiaoxue, the last time you saw him, it was half a month ago, right?" next to him, Luo's father said, his voice obviously revealing dissatisfaction.

Luo Xue was powerless to refute this-that's right, she hadn't come to see her grandfather for nearly half a month. She blames herself very much now, she was busy with Mu Fei's affairs during this time, and completely ignored this grandfather.

"Xiaoxue, don't blame me for saying you, you've been really ...... lately"

When he spoke, Luo's father face was full of disappointment and embarrassment, "Alas, forget it, it's useless to talk about it now......"

"I'll wait for you in the car, you stay with your grandfather for a while, and then come home with me. I have something to tell you. After Luo's father finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the ward.

"Hmm. Luo Xue nodded softly.

Luo Xue knew how long she had been here, and it didn't help the old man's condition. She stayed a little longer, then went downstairs and got into her father's car.

"By car, back to the compound. Luo's father said to the driver.

The driver nodded lightly and started the car.

"Dad, what are you looking for me?" Luo Xue asked instinctively.

"You'll find out when you get home. Father Luo said casually.

Half an hour later, Luo Xue and her father returned to the Luo family's old house. They entered the study, where Luo Xue's uncle, third uncle, and Luo Xue's cousin were all there.

"Alright, I'm back. Sit down, let's get down to business. ”

Luo Xue's uncle, Luo Jianjian, pointed to the sofa and asked Luo's father and Luo Xue to sit down.

Luo Xue's cousin, Luo Tiejun, poured two cups of tea and handed them to the two, "Second uncle, take a sip of hot tea and warm up." Xiaoxue, you drink ...... too"

Luo's father took tea and took a big sip.

And Luo Xuexian held the cup in her hand and drank it lightly. Not to mention, on a cold day, drinking some hot tea is really comfortable.

"Xiaoxue, what you want to talk about today, we talked about it before you came back. Today I'm mainly going to talk to you...... Do you know the current situation of our Luo family?" asked Luo Jianjian.

"Yes, probably...... Know. Luo Xue originally answered in the affirmative, but when she looked at her uncle's eyes, she hesitated a little.

And Luo Jianshe didn't ask her anything, lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said slowly, "It's good that you know...... Our Luo family has been in the middle of the road over the years, and it is not as good as a year, and it is no longer the powerful Luo family of decades ago......"

"In the circle, the name of our Luo family is the 'fifth family' in addition to the four major families of Sun, Li, Wang, and Huang, but in fact? There are many wealthy and powerful families in our Luo family, and there are also some foreign families and those rising stars, who no longer take our Luo family's words in their eyes......"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly and looked at Luo Xue, "Let me ask you again, do you know what our Luo family is in the eyes of those families?"

Luo Xue raised her eyebrows and did not answer.

Of course she knew what Uncle meant, but the reason why she raised her eyebrows was not this, it was because she felt that something was wrong.

And Luo Jianshe didn't wait for her answer, and still said to himself, "In the eyes of these rich wolves and wild dogs, our Luo family is an old man who is getting old, although he is thin and weak, he can also let them have a good meal." They all just stared at us, and they didn't dare to move, just because your grandfather was still there! Your grandfather was the pillar of our family!

"But now, the pillars of our family are old and can't stand it. The day he falls, it's the moment those jackals bite us!"

"Therefore, our old Luo family can't sit still, we must take precautions and make adequate preparations. We must not let anyone slaughter and make the fish on the chopping board!!"

Luo Jianshe tapped his fingers on the table and said, while Luo Xue's third uncle Luo Chengliang and cousin Luo Tiejun nodded lightly in agreement.

After speaking, Luo Jianshe looked at Luo Xue again, "Xiaoxue, there is something for you to do." ”

And it's not just Uncle Luo, almost everyone in this study looks at Luo Xue.

At this time, Luo Xue felt very bad, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Marriage, and ...... Zhuge Wuzhen. Uncle Luo squinted and watched Luo Xue's reaction.

"What?"

Luo Xueru suffered bad news and was full of shock, she stood up with a pout, "Marry him? impossible, I won't marry." ”

At this time, Luo Xue had already understood, it turned out that everyone in the room today was running for her.

Originally, she was mentally emaciated and emaciated by Mu Fei's death and grandfather's critical illness, but now these people actually beat her again, she suddenly couldn't help it, and shouted with tears, "Grandpa has promised me to let me be with Ah Fei." You were there at the time, and you all agreed with Grandpa's words. Why ...... now?"

"This time, that time!"

Luo Jianshe shouted loudly and interrupted Luo Xue without hesitation, "At that time, your grandfather's body could still hold up, and the kid surnamed Mu did have some potential, and more importantly, he was still a celebrity under Lao Li." If you are with her, it is equivalent to tying the Luo family and the Li family together, so we agreed to give him some time and give him a chance. ”

"But now, the old man's condition is out of control, and he may die at any time. There is also the kid surnamed Mu, who has been missing for half a month. No matter how strong he is, is there any chance of him surviving? No! Absolutely not!"

"Not only is he dead, but his bones are gone! Do you still expect him to come back? Don't you dream, can you?"

Uncle Luo is louder and louder the more he speaks, and his tone becomes more and more straightforward.

And his words can be said to have punctured Luo Xue's last illusion. Her pearly tears were pouring down, and her emotions were about to be uncontrollable.

Moreover, she was not only sad, but also surprised, "You ...... How do you know this? and how do you know it in such detail?" Luo Xue asked.

"Hmph!

Uncle Luo's face flashed with disdain, and he snorted coldly, "Do you really think that paper can wrap the fire? It's not just us, the people in this circle who have a little heart, they all know!"

Uncle Luo didn't care about Luo Xue's complicated expression at all, and was still talking, "Before, I could still count on him more or less. Even if he can't, as long as he can catch up with the Li family, he can accept it. But now, it's completely impossible!"

"First, he didn't know which wilderness he died in for a long time, and in the event of a plane crash, he couldn't be alive!"

"Second, do you know what is the reason for Lao Li's business trip this time? Because as soon as Mu Fei had an accident on his side, some people questioned it the next day, and his plan had a large number of hidden dangers and raised a series of technical problems. ”

"If Lao Li can solve it, he still has a chance to live. If Lao Li can't solve it, those people will rush to further question the technical strength of Lao Li and Mu Fei's team, and then deprive them of their dominant position in the project, and then replace them. ”

But now, the life and death of the surnamed Mu are unknown, and Lao Li can't solve those problems at all. Even if it is solved this time, there will be a next time!"

In other words, it was only a matter of time before Lao Li was kicked out of the project's dominance. Whether it's surnamed Mu or Lao Li, it doesn't have any value to us now, do you understand when I say that?"

"On the contrary, the Sun family promises that as long as you are willing to marry in the past, they will not be to blame for what we did before. And you can give us a larger share of the project. ”

"In short, it is the best and only way for you to marry the Sun family now. Xiaoxue, this is for the Luo family!"

"No, I don't care!" Luo Xue burst into tears.

"For the sake of the family, for the sake of the family, why do you have to use this way for the sake of the family. You have to sacrifice my happiness? If you don't marry, I won't marry!"

Luo Xue shouted in a lost voice - at this time, she was really about to collapse, her lovers in love were more than lucky, and her grandfather, who loved her the most, was in danger of her life at any time.

And at her most painful and helpless time, her elders, including her father, actually wanted to marry her to someone she didn't love...... It can even be said that she hates the enemy the most.

How could she accept this kind of thing.

"Xiaoxue, five years ago, when you were eighteen years old, Uncle told you that you were ready to be arranged for marriage, because this is the fate of the children of wealthy families!!" Uncle Luo said nice things in his mouth, but there was no family affection in his eyes.

Luo Xue shook her head desperately, "No, I won't marry, I will never marry Zhuge Wuzhen!"

She turned her eyes to her father for help, but she was disappointed, and his father just turned his face to the side.

And the intense sadness beat her like a giant hammer, and she even felt dizzy.

"Boom—"

"Whoa~"

Disappointed, she stumbled on her feet and kicked the coffee table next to her. The two teacups on the table fell and smashed to the ground.

"You ......"

Uncle Luo suddenly glared at the boss - he was already very dissatisfied with Luo Xue's 'ignorance' attitude, and now she actually broke her beloved antique teacup, Uncle Luo was angry.

"Xiaoxue, don't be ignorant! I'll ask you, are you married or not!" Luo Da Bohu stared at him and asked in a low voice.

And Luo Xue's answer was more resolute than just now, "Don't marry! Absolutely not! I won't marry if I die!"

"Hmph, you don't know what to do, don't blame us elders for being ruthless!"

Uncle Luo flicked his sleeves and said, and pointed at Luo Xue again, "Tiejun, take her down!"

Luo Tienan was unceremonious, and grabbed Luo Xue with his big hand......

PS: It seems that in some previous chapters, Luo Tiejun's name was written as Luo Tieguan, and it was corrected. It's all one person, and it doesn't affect reading.
