After hearing Qian Bowen’s words, Qian Jinglan’s whole heart was clenched, and her face turned pale instantly.
As children, when learning the news that their father is about to die, no one can remain indifferent.
Moreover, Qian Jinglan has been away from home for more than twenty years.
This news is no less than a bolt from the blue.
But in an instant, when thinking of her father’s heartlessness, she couldn’t help but be angry.
“Twenty years ago, when he drove me out of the house, I had nothing to do with him.” Qian Jinglan said pretending to be tough.
Qian Bowen let out a long sigh and said, “Jinglan, father did that back then because he was too angry.”
He is a renowned all over the world, who upholds the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and values benevolence righteousness, integrity and a sense of shame the most. And you were pregnant before marriage and stubbornly refused to say who that man was. So in his anger, father drove you out of the house.”
But in these more than twenty years, father has regretted every moment.”
I often saw father holding your photo and crying silently alone in the dead of night.”
Do you know? Before father fell into a coma, he tightly held my hand and told me to say sorry to you on his behalf.”
Qian Jinglan was originally a soft-hearted person. Hearing this, tears had already welled up in her eyes.”
Qian Bowen continued, “Some time ago, father probably had a premonition that his days were numbered, so he convened the whole family and held a family meeting.
The content of the meeting was only one item, that is, to set up a will.”
You also know that father has been poor all his life and doesn’t have much property. The only valuable things in the family are an old house and the ancient books and calligraphy and paintings he collected.
And then there is some manuscript fee he earned from writing books.”
Father said that in these more than twenty years, he has owed you and your mother too much and hopes to give you some compensation.”
So, he left the most valuable old house, ancient books and calligraphy and paintings all to you.
The manuscript fee was divided equally between me and the second child.”
“Jinglan, Father is dying. You should come back to see him for the last time and go through the inheritance procedures by the way.”
When Qian Jinglan heard this, her heart ached as if being scraped by a knife.
Crying uncontrollably.
Qian Bowen continued, “I was worried that you still hated Father and wouldn’t come back, so I specifically asked Chunmei and Rong’er to pick you up. Have they arrived?”
“Brother, did Chunmei and Rong’er come to Jiangzhou just to pick me up and there’s nothing else?”
“There’s nothing else, just to pick you up.” Qian Bowen asked, “Have they arrived?”
Qian Jinglan understood that the commitment letter should be the idea of Cao Chunmei and Qian Rong, and her eldest brother didn’t know about it at all.
“I was just blaming Father, so I asked them to leave.”
“Brother, I’ll set off immediately and try to come over as soon as possible.”
Qian Jinglan glanced at Ye Qiu and said, “I’ll bring my son back with me.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at home. You two be careful on the way.”
Hung up the phone.
Qian Jinglan wiped away a tear and said to Ye Qiu, “Qiu’er, you buy tickets immediately. We’re going to Suhang.”
“Your grandpa is dying.”
“We’re going to see him for the last time.”
Ye Qiu immediately called Han Long and asked Han Long to help buy plane tickets, and then rushed to the airport with Qian Jinglan.
Forty minutes later, the two arrived at Jiangzhou Airport.
Han Long had been waiting for a long time.
“Hello, Auntie.”
Han Long politely greeted Qian Jinglan, and then handed the plane ticket to Ye Qiu, saying, “Boss, the plane will take off in an hour. I have arranged everything in Suhang. After getting off the plane, someone will pick you up.”
“Okay.” Ye Qiu nodded slightly, and then said to Qian Jinglan, “Mom, wait for me for a while. I have something to say to Han Long.”
The two walked aside.
“How are the things I told you going?” Ye Qiu asked.
“It has been done,” Han Long said. “I will send the information of the Qian family to your mobile phone later, boss.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Ye Qiu patted Han Long on the shoulder.
Han Long reminded: “Boss, Suhang is not the territory of our Dragon Gate. You have to be careful when you act there.”
“It’s okay.”
Ye Qiu smiled faintly.
He didn’t even fear the capital, which is like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. As for the small Suhang, why should he be afraid?
……
At the same time, in Suhang.
In the Qian family.
Outside the main room of a quadrangle courtyard, there were a large group of people, both men and women, guarding.
Every one of them had a worried look on their faces.
The person in charge was Qian Bowen and Qian Weidong, the sons of Old Man Qian.
“Brother, you just called Jinglan. What did she say? Will she come back?” Qian Weidong asked.
Qian Bowen nodded: “Jinglan said she will come back with her son.”
“That’s good.” Qian Weidong said with emotion: “Jinglan has been away from home for more than 20 years. We haven’t seen her for more than 20 years either. I don’t know what she has become like now.”
“No matter what she has become, she is still our little sister.” Qian Bowen’s eyes swept over the crowd and asked: “Where is Duoduo? Hasn’t he come back yet?”
“I just called him. He is on his way back.” Qian Weidong said angrily: “Before he left, I repeatedly told him to come back early after finishing his business. But who knows, that bastard boy became hard-winged as soon as he left home. When he comes back, I must beat him up.”
“Duoduo is not a child anymore. He has his own ideas. Don’t always hit him. This will only affect your father-son relationship.” Qian Bowen persuaded.
“Forget it, don’t talk about him. I get angry as soon as I mention him.”
Qian Weidong looked up at the main room and said worriedly: “I don’t know if the three great national medical sages can save father’s life?”
“I hope father can hold on!”
As soon as Qian Bowen’s voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in from the outside. The leaders were several middle-aged men in white shirts, with a full official authority.
After seeing these middle-aged men, Qian Bowen and Qian Weidong’s complexions changed and they quickly stepped forward to greet them.
“Secretary Wang!”
“Governor Han!”
“Mayor Zhao!”
“Director Tian!”
“Why did you come here?”
These middle-aged men were the ones in power in Suzhou and Hangzhou. At the same time, they were also students of Old Man Qian.”
“Bowu, how is the teacher? I heard that you invited three national medical masters. How is the situation?”
Secretary Wang asked.
“The three national medical masters are inside.” Qian Bowu pointed to the main room and said, “They have been in for more than an hour and haven’t come out yet. As for father’s situation, I’m afraid…”
Before he could finish speaking, Governor Han said, “Bowu, don’t worry. The teacher is a lucky person. I believe he will be safe and sound.”
“Hmm.”
Qian Bowu nodded and looked back at the main room, praying in his heart, “Father, so many people care about you, and even Jinglan is coming back. You must hold on!”
Just then, there was a creaking sound.
The tightly closed door of the main room opened.
