When I arrived at Fengcheng Xia's house, it was already dark.

After sitting in the car all day, Gu Jiaojiao also felt sore and weak, and her face was very pale when she got out of the car.

On the contrary, the little guy slept well in the car, and although he was not looking good at the beginning of his recovery from a serious illness, his spirit was exceptionally good.

The two of them walked all the way to the house, only to find that the silence in a huge house was terrifying.

There were more than a dozen people in the living room, sitting or standing, their faces were more solemn than the other, and the atmosphere was extremely stiff.

It wasn't until they appeared that the atmosphere of silence finally changed.

"Jiaojiao, Doudou, you're back!" Xia Zhilin has always been unsociable, leaning against the door, so he saw them appear at a glance.

This voice shouted, and the eyes of the rest of the people also moved directly to it at that moment.

"You guys?"

After discovering that it was the two of them, everyone's expressions were very exciting.

Xia Cheng walked over and greeted them with a smile, "I thought it would be later, but I heard about Doudou's situation, so I arranged for him to go back to the room first, and let the doctor check it out." ”

"Go around, you go up."

Gu Jiaojiao didn't plan to follow, but stood in place like everyone else, looking at the room with a solemn expression.

"I want to go see Grandpa."

"Okay."

Xia Cheng led her in.

As she passed by the living room, she noticed that the other people were looking at her with less kind expressions.

"What is the purpose of coming back at this point in time, it is self-evident."

"Some people didn't have a day of filial piety to the old man when they were alive, and now they want to come back and share the inheritance when they see that people are no longer good."

"Sima Zhao's heart is well known, but what can we do? After all, she also has the blood of the Xia family in her body. ”

"Don't make any noise, grandpa recognizes him as a granddaughter, but after all, he is also a granddaughter. My aunt is long gone, how many things can she inherit......" The third child of the Xia family has always been the most impatient, raised his head and glanced at Gu Jiaojiao, "What are you doing here, aren't you going in to visit grandpa?" ”

"Yes."

Wisely choosing to ignore all the discussions, Gu Jiaojiao followed Xia Cheng inside.

I only heard more noise behind me, mixed with the indignation of the third child of the Xia family.

"No, will Grandpa lose your share? What to fight with her as a girl! A manly man, he still lives by pointing to the inheritance given by his grandfather! Besides, grandpa likes her, maybe she can go in and have a look, and grandpa will wake up. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people who had made a few noises just now all died down.

Sitting here are not only the five sons of the Xia family, but also the nephews of the side branches.

Most of them also work in the Xia Group, and the old man is critically ill, so he has to rush over as soon as possible.

One is filial piety, and the other is to know whether there is any share of them in the will.

"How could Grandpa suddenly fall into a coma?"

The room is guarded by a doctor, incense is burned, and the Chinese retro furnishings are low-key but luxurious.

Only the old man on the bed was unconscious, and she leaned in and shouted, but there was no response.

"I've done a detailed examination, and it should be a sudden situation caused by organ failure. At present, treatment has been done, but the old man is old, and the chances of waking up are ...... It's relatively slim. ”

The attending doctor has explained this set of rhetoric countless times, and now when he sees Gu Jiaojiao appearing, he can't help but mention it more.

"The old man has been talking to you before his death, eldest lady, you can talk to the old man more, maybe he has a chance to wake up."

“…… Good. ”

She thought the same way.

Xia Cheng left her alone in the room, opened the door and went out, and the discussion outside came to an abrupt end.

Only Xia Zhisen, who was at the forefront, was a little impatient and took the initiative to speak.

"Xia Cheng, it's this time, you are still holding your will, what do you want to do?"

"That's right! Grandpa is like this, but the heir of the Xia Group can't be decided, isn't this waiting for a problem! ”

"When the time comes, people's hearts will be unstable, not to mention, in case the heir set up by grandpa has no prestige. If you can't take over the Xia Group, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. Even Mr. Xia couldn't help but urge.

He is the only son of the old man, but because of his mediocre qualifications and the fact that he made a big mistake when he was young, he was deprived of the inheritance by the old man.

But no matter which of his sons inherits, it will not affect his status as "Emperor Taishang".

I have to say that Mr. Xia is actually the least anxious one, but for some reason, he is faintly uneasy in his heart, and he can't wait to know the content of the will.

But Xia Cheng's answer is still formulaic.

"According to my grandfather's request, the will in my hand needs to be officially released after he dies and is buried."

"What you have?" Xia Zhisen accurately found the problem, "Is it difficult, there are other wills in other people's hands?" ”

Xia Cheng shook his head and looked at Xia Zhisen expressionlessly, "I don't know. I only do what my grandfather told me, and the rest has nothing to do with me. ”

With that, she left the living room straight away.

But it didn't take long for a figure to catch up.

"Summer Orange." The man grabbed her wrist and pressed the person directly into the corner, trapping her tightly in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

Just listening to the voice, Xia Cheng could recognize that this was Xia Zhisen, and struggled with a wrinkled face a few times, but he didn't let go.

Xia Zhisen relied on his physical advantage to hold her and lowered his voice.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to know the contents of the will."

"The will is sealed, and I am only responsible for keeping it! I don't know the specifics. ”

"How is that possible? Grandpa trusts you so much, and you take care of all the big and small matters, I'm afraid I won't believe you can't guess. ”

Xia Zhisen pulled her and didn't let her leave.

Relying on his size, he could almost easily trap her in a corner, leaning down and holding her hand tightly.

"You've always cared about me the most, Xia Cheng. You know how important inheritance is to me! Without this huge asset, I would be finished. ”

He was heavily in debt, and he had too much to lose in the position of general manager, and he would soon be unable to cover it up.

Hearing this, Xia Cheng smiled and pulled his hand out of his palm inch by inch.

"Young Master, you're not done. After all, you and Miss Qin are about to get married, she is the only daughter of the Qin family, and the Qin family will be your help in the future. ”

"What are the hundreds of millions of dollars in deficit? A marriage, everything. ”

Xia Zhisen looked at his arm hanging outside, and his face stiffened.

"Xia Cheng, are you still angry with me? But if you helped me a little at the beginning, the 300 million yuan would not have been lost, and I would not have ended up in the point where I needed marriage to fill the shortfall. ”

He lowered his voice, but he still couldn't hide the anger in his heart, "It's all because of you!" If I make money, I won't be able to marry you. ”

I stole the company's resources to do private things, embezzled project public funds to gamble on the extremely risky project, and finally lost a full 300 million.

It's a ridiculous joke!

Xia Cheng shook off his hand and left directly, "I have nothing to say to you, if the eldest young master is so sure, just wait for the will to be announced." ”

"Summer Orange—"

Xia Zhisen wanted to chase after him, but he saw someone coming over there.

Xia Zhilin came out of the corner at some point, and suddenly saw the two of them and was a little surprised, "Big brother, Sister Orange, what are you two discussing." ”

"Nothing."

"Discuss grandpa's follow-up treatment plan."

The answers of the two were completely different, but Xia Cheng was not even willing to lie perfunctorily, turned around and walked towards Xia Zhilin, and grabbed his hand, "Why don't you go and run out of grandpa?" ”

"Wait for the uncle and they to come and see that you are not there, and they will tell you that you don't know how to be polite."

"I'll just go to the toilet, what's the matter."

The two walked away as they spoke, leaving Xia Zhisen standing beside him, his eyes becoming more and more resentful as he looked at their departing backs.

Xia Cheng, I don't want you, did you turn around and invest in Ah Lin?

But Ah Lin is born out of nature, and he is also the youngest, and his grandfather will never hand over the Xia Group to him.

He squinted, thought back to his younger brothers, and finally confidently came to a conclusion.

The second child is not as good as himself, the third child is a waste, the fourth child has no interest in doing business, and the fifth child is too young.

Grandpa has no choice, unless he really ignores everyone's opposition and hands over the Xia family to Gu Jiaojiao, who doesn't understand anything!

No, he would never allow that to happen.

The next moment, Xia Zhisen immediately picked up the phone and contacted several uncles.

"Third Uncle Ancestor, it's me. Today...... Yan'er is back, I heard that my grandfather revised his will once, just after recognizing her return, do you say that it is possible that he handed over most of the inheritance to Yan'er? Yes, I'm actually a little worried, after all, she hasn't changed her surname, she still has her surname Gu, and even her son is ......"

……

Gu Jiaojiao was alone in the room with the old man, and the old man on the bed lay down peacefully and fell asleep, no matter what she said, she didn't react much.

The expression on her little face became more and more solemn, until she opened the medical record, looked at the medication on it, and took a photo and sent it over.

The recipient of the past is an uncle, and she vaguely feels that her grandfather's condition is strange and wants to ask his opinion.

But there was no reply for a long time, and the stone sank into the sea.

The little girl felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and picked up the phone several times, but in the end she still did not muster up the courage to dial the number.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Lu Jun's avatar flashed and a message popped up.

"Little sister-in-law, I heard about your grandfather. How is the old man doing now? I was recently working in a cancer lab and I have developed several new drugs that are working well. ”

"Why don't you send me the old man's information, maybe it will have an effect on him?"

Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao exclaimed, her face full of joy.

Looking at the medical records at the bedside, the CT photos were all kinds of clicks, full of hope, "Is there really hope?" ”

"It's hard to say, I'll make a comparison first. If I could, I'd soon have someone rush over with the new medicine. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Lu, thank you so much." Grandpa is critically ill, and everyone is helpless.

Just now, the doctor also specially reminded that if you continue to be in a coma, the longer you stay, the more unlikely the chance of waking up.

She almost grabbed the news given by Lu Jun like a life-saving straw.

This is the last chance.

Over there.

Lu Jun checked the information as quickly as possible, and also found an acquaintance to find a way to go to the hospital in Fengcheng to retrieve the relevant records, and after comparing them, he called as soon as possible.

"Brother Chen, you guessed it right. It is indeed a coma caused by man. ”

"I'll just say that terminal cancer patients, if they really want to be in a coma, they will just go straight to karma, how can they still fall asleep there."

"The blood sample test results from Fengcheng Hospital have just come out, and they contain some drug ingredients, which ordinary people can't touch, let alone a terminally ill old man."

"I've already spoken to the people over there and asked them to deliver the medicine quickly. In fact, it is not a new drug, but it is an antidote. ”

"Good work." After hearing this, Bo Yanchen just said a few words lightly, "When you tell her later, comfort her." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Jun was a little confused.

He scratched his head, and after a while, he lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "What, you don't plan to tell your sister-in-law the good news in person?" ”

"Just tell her."

"Hey, isn't it?? That's not right, right...... The person was contacted by you, and the hospital in Fengcheng was also a blood sample ordered by you, so it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Besides, you two can just breathe by yourself, why do you still have me to pass the word in the middle?"

He babbled on and on, only feeling strange, and finally asked tentatively.

"Quarrel?"

With a "click", the phone hung up.

When the sound of "doodoo" sounded, Lu Jun also received a message on his mobile phone.

"If you want to do it, do it, don't talk so much nonsense." Someone hung up the phone but was still interested in sending him a message, which made Lu Jun speechless.

And.

"My temper is so bad, I was annoyed and angry when I said it."

He re-dug out Gu Jiaojiao's contact information, considered the words and made it clear to her, did not take the initiative to mention that someone was poisoned or anything like, and only told her to pay attention to safety over there.

"Thank you, Dr. Lu! You've really helped me so much, and I don't even know how to repay you. When my grandfather wakes up, I will definitely hold a banquet to thank you when I return to Haicheng. ”

"Little things."

Lu Jun raised his eyebrows, but when he heard the sound of the girl crying with joy over there, he suddenly couldn't hold back, "Actually, it's not all my credit." I'm just a favor, and you don't have to thank me too much. ”

As soon as I finished eating, I had to bring a gift to the door. In the end, when he was talking, he was about to kneel down and say goodbye to him, and call him big brother.

How can he afford this! Somebody had to cut him if he knew.

"Okay, okay, sister-in-law, you're alone over there, but you must be careful. Now go out to the door and wait for this medicine! ”

“…… Okay, I'll go right away. ”

As soon as she heard that the medicine had been delivered so quickly, Gu Jiaojiao hurriedly wiped away her tears, opened the door and hurriedly walked out.

But as soon as she came back from taking the medicine, she was still at the door of the living room, and she had already seen several people blocking her in front of her.

"Big brother, may I ask what is?"

Xia Zhisen brought a few old people to stand in front of him, everyone was rushing over to her, not to mention the serious appearance, and the eyes were sharper than the other.

"Jiaojiao, let me introduce you. These are all clan elders in the family, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and the fifth uncle. ”

The average age of the three of them is already in their eighties, and the uncle is even more old, and he needs someone to help him barely move.

"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, you rest first. I went in with my grandfather. She said hello indiscriminately, she was concerned about the old man's condition, and naturally wanted to send the medicine over as soon as possible.

But Xia Zhisen stopped the person as soon as he raised his hand.

"Grandpa can't do it now, Jiaojiao, you can't help here. What's more, it's a girl again, there has never been a reason for a girl to be present in a major event at home, so it's better to take the child back to Haicheng first. ”

“？？”

Gu Jiaojiao was still inexplicable, but she finally understood when she heard this.

Co-author Xia Zhisen invited the clan elder to come over and drive her away?

She laughed suddenly, "I can't accept this reason, eldest brother, grandpa is so good to me, he is not feeling well now, I naturally have to take care of him." What's more, I'm sure he'll wake up. ”

"Awake?"

The fourth uncle group shook his head, "Eighty-year-olds, there are many people who can't afford to get sick." There are too few people who can wake up after being in a coma for two days. ”

"We've come all the way from afar. To put it bluntly, I'm here to do the aftermath. ”

The fifth uncle squinted, and in his incoherent speech, he still said a few words seriously.

"You can't be considered a Xia family."

I see.

Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao realized the reason why they did this.

He lowered his head, his eyebrows were cold and clean, his face was raised vividly, and he smiled and said, "So you are afraid that I will stay here and rob the inheritance?" ”

was punctured, Xia Zhisen's face immediately sank.

On the contrary, a few uncles were a little embarrassed, "Nonsense! At our age, how can we account for these—"

"Then why are you doing this?" The girl's bright eyes were raised, and there was a faint smile in her eyebrows, she was happy because she had got the new medicine.

chuckled lightly and slowly spoke, "Grandpa loves me, I won't leave." Most importantly, I believe that Grandpa will wake up. ”

"How do you wake up? On the second day of being in a coma, it didn't look like I was awake at all! ”

"Doctors say there is little hope......"

Xia Zhisen added in a timely manner, "This time, grandpa is probably difficult." A few uncles arrived early, why don't you discuss the aftermath as soon as possible? ”

"You have planned it before the people left?!" Gu Jiaojiao, who originally wanted to endure it, was really angry when she heard this.

Not to mention the old man and their family relationship, even if you look at his importance to the Xia family, you really shouldn't look like you want him to leave early!

She snorted lightly, and her temper surged upward, "Isn't the eldest brother sure that he can inherit the Xia family?" I can't wait for this time. ”

"Your mouth is unforgiving, but no one in the whole family knows that I am the most filial. I am doing this now just to prepare in advance and avoid being caught blind when the time comes. ”

"But what if Grandpa wakes up?" The girl's face was not white and red, and her clear voice was full of confidence.

"Wake up? When? Today, tomorrow, or next week? Or wait until the moment when the light returns? ”

"I'll wake up later!" For the first time, she found that the seemingly harmonious Xia family respected the old man very much on the surface, but at the last moment, everyone had their own thoughts.

A little annoyed, the little girl straightened her face, pinched the medicine in her hand, and gritted her teeth.

"An hour at most!"

Dr. Lu said that grandpa would wake up within an hour after taking the medicine!

Although she didn't know why the effect of the new drug was so intuitive, she still chose to believe Lu Jun.

It's just that when these words came out, the people present looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"What if you don't wake up." Xia Zhisen said quietly, "Jiaojiao, you have a daughter's family, and you refuse to listen to persuasion, and we will invite you to leave when the time comes." ”

He was very sure that only Gu Jiaojiao was his only opponent, as long as she was not there, the huge Xia family was not left to him.

Gu Jiaojiao's small face on the side was slightly pale, and her thin white and small fingers were pinched hard, and her beautiful face was full of dissatisfaction with Xia Zhisen.

Then he squinted, "What if Grandpa could wake up in an hour?" ”

"Huh? How can it be. ”

"What if!"

"Not that way!"

"What do you mean, young master? I don't want grandpa to wake up. Xia Cheng, who had just come back from outside, saw this scene and stood in front of Gu Jiaojiao without hesitation, and Xia Cheng, who was well versed in workplace speech, effortlessly helped her go back.

"Or is it that Da Shao knows it very well in his heart, better than the doctor. Grandpa doesn't even have that hundredth chance of waking up, because you know about Grandpa's illness—"

"Xia Cheng, you are also messing around with her!" Xia Zhisen's face flashed with panic, and then he quickly narrowed his eyes, "Okay, just an hour." If my grandfather woke up, I would naturally kneel on the ground to apologize and beg him for forgiveness when I prepared for his funeral in advance. ”

Xia Cheng nodded and added, "In addition, I have to apologize to Jiaojiao, and explain clearly in front of the old man why I think she is not the Xia family." ”

"You-"

What are you mixing here!

A Gu Jiaojiao is not to be afraid, after all, she is new to the city, and she doesn't even know the basic situation of the Xia family.

But Xia Cheng is different!

The entire Xia family did not know where her fate was better than her, and she simply embarrassed him with a single sentence.

But, the old man will not wake up.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhisen finally nodded, "Okay, just according to what you said." Within an hour, hopefully grandpa would wake up. ”

"Don't be pretending here." The girl couldn't help but mutter, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but surge.

It's really Xia Zhisen who is too much, grandpa has worked hard for the Xia family all his life, and when he is about to die, he will be poisoned.

Dr. Lu brought her new medicine, never mentioning the cause of the old man's coma, and only repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety.

She's not stupid.

I knew with my toes that my grandfather suddenly fell into a coma, and someone must have been in the way.

Originally, I couldn't guess who it was, but Xia Zhisen stood up and jumped the werewolf directly-

"Grandpa, take your medicine."

It took a long time to feed a pill, but fortunately, I watched the old man swallow it in his throat.

Gu Jiaojiao walked out with confidence.

I saw everyone in the living room sitting in their places, with a huge clock in front of them.

Fifty-five minutes and three seconds countdown.

She hooked her lips mockingly, and said in her heart that these people are really afraid that they will rob them of their things, and they are racing against time.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon, an hour arrived in a stiff atmosphere of everyone.

Xia Zhisen leaned back on the mahogany chair, his face was already a little irrepressible proud, and his fingers tapped.

The maid immediately understood.

"There are five minutes to go."

Xia Cheng had been guarding the room, and at this time he opened the door and glanced at Gu Jiaojiao, and shook his head with a solemn face.

Didn't wake up.

The girl hung her head, her thin white fingers pinched together, and most of her face was hidden, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

"Three minutes."

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere grew dreary.

A group of people stood on Xia Zhisen's side, hoping that Gu Jiaojiao would leave earlier, after all, if there was one less person to share the inheritance, they would be able to share a part more.

The other group of people were indignant, and they were extremely unhappy with Xia Zhisen's style, such as Xia Zhilin.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Gu Jiaojiao was also a member of the Xia family, and his grandfather was still lying there and hadn't left yet, so why did he target her like this.

The rest are like the third child of the Xia family, except for watching the excitement, I feel that it has no effect on him.

He knows better than anyone that he is a fool and makes trouble on weekdays, but it is just to brush up on his presence in front of the old man.

As for inheriting the Xia Group, just kidding, even if he gives it to him, he won't dare to take it, what if he loses it?

"Jiaojiao, still have to struggle?" Xia Zhisen's hand on the table curled, picked up the teacup, and hid the excitement in his eyes by drinking tea.

looked at her regretfully, "You just don't recognize this family, why do you have to be so ugly." ”

"someone, go upstairs and call Doudou down."

It's the last three minutes.

Doudou was dragged down and thrown in the living room along with the luggage she had just brought, not wanting them to stay any longer!

"What are you doing? Why kick us out? ”

"Bad guys! Let's go! Don't touch your pockets! The little guy was so angry, he frowned and slapped the maid's hand away, he was still a patient, and he didn't have much strength to talk and walk.

As soon as I made such a fuss, I immediately felt that the wound hurt.

"Wait!" Gu Jiaojiao, who had been silent, finally stood up at this moment and protected Xiao Tuanzi.

Those clear eyes raised and stared at Xia Zhisen, full of disdain, "Are you there?" ”

"I'm just willing to gamble and lose, Jiaojiao, no wonder me."

Xia Zhisen finally stopped hiding his thoughts, he stood up, his tall figure was like a mountain peak, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

The mother and son shrank together, and at this moment they are just like innocent white rabbits who are oppressed, and they are unspeakably pitiful.

"Okay, even the people with the luggage, throw them out."

"Xia Zhisen, don't go too far."

Someone came out to protect them, and they were really angry.

"That's it, big brother, Jiaojiao is your sister, Doudou is still a patient, she rushed back with a doctor when she was sick, how can you bear it?"

"So I'm not trying to persuade them to go back and get some rest."

"You-I see you're clearly afraid that Jiaojiao will rob you of your inheritance!" Xia Zhilin's words pierced his high-sounding thoughts, and the scene immediately stiffened.

Xia Zhisen narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, "You also want to get out with her?" ”

"Of course I am—"

"Who said I was leaving?" At the moment when the scene was deadlocked, the girl suddenly stood up.

She was holding the indignant little guy in her arms, and the latter also clenched his fists and stared at Xia Zhisen angrily, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

The latter coldly hooked his lips and smiled sinisterly, "I made a bet and didn't want to fulfill the contract." ”

"No, it's not that I don't want to. On the contrary, I hope that everyone will keep their word and no one will regret it. ”

Xia Zhisen sneered, "So what? Don't roll yet. ”

"Why should I get out?" The girl's delicate face was flushed with a smile, and she raised her finger and pointed to the clock in the maid's hand, "There are still ten seconds left, are you sure that grandpa will not wake up?" ”

"Huh? Ten seconds. ”

"Ten."

"Nine."

The girl began to time, her voice crisp and clean, echoing through the vast living room.

"Three."

"Two ......"

Before the word "one" could be sounded, there was a sudden "click" sound behind him, and the door was opened from the inside.
