Tong Huaer was dumbfounded.
Indeed, Dongfang Furen was the head of the Dongfangjia, and she was the future head of the family. No matter which one fell ill, it would not be a good thing to spread the news!
"But don't you just leave grandma alone? Even if he knew she was sick and was in danger, he wouldn't let doctor Laien come? Let them guess what others like to say! Granny and I are fine anyway. What can they do?!"
The faster Tong Huaer spoke, the harsher his tone became.
"Huaer, even if madam is still awake, she won't allow us to find doctor Laien!" Situ wei frowned and still disagreed with her request.
Tong Huaer frowned and blurted out without thinking, "How did you know grandma didn't want to? Is it your grandmother herself? Situ Wei, don't think that if you give orders to the Dongfangjia for a long time, you can judge what others think!"
When people are anxious, they always pick the sharpest words to say, but as soon as the words fell, Tong Huaer realized that he had said the wrong thing.
She... Shouldn't have said that about Situ Wei.
"I..." Tong Huaer opened his mouth and looked at Situ Wei standing opposite him with complicated eyes, "I'm not..."
"Young mistress!"
Just then, Ye Shen's voice suddenly came from behind.
Tong Huaer was shocked and turned around to see Zong Beili and Ye Shen walking towards them.
"Zong Beili..." Tong Huaer walked towards him involuntarily.
"Is she awake?" Zong Beili pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and frowned at her.
Tong Huaer was stunned and shook his head, "No, the doctor said we should wait... What should we do? Zong Beili, will grandma..."
As she spoke, Tong Huaer's tears rolled down, and her voice was choked with sobs. Her small hands clutched Zong Beili's suit tightly, and her face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
This scene was all seen by Situ Wei standing not far away.
Ever since she arrived, even if she was very anxious, her eyes had been red, but no tears had fallen.
And the second she saw Zong Beili, she suddenly cried, her whole body leaning against Zong Beili, not because she couldn't stand, but... Psychologically speaking, it was a sign of being completely dependent on one person.
Situ Wei's eyes flashed with a thick self-deprecation when he thought of the way she had argued with him in front of him. So, he was so much worse, wasn't he?
"Since the doctor told you to wait, that means she's fine. Don't worry!" Zong beili patted her on the back with a big hand.
But this action was of no use at all. Tong Huaer was still very anxious and inhaled, "I want Situ wei to call doctor Laien. I think he must have a way, but..."
"No!"
Before tong Huaer could finish, Zong Beili's cold voice interrupted her.
"Why... Why?" Tong Huaer looked at Zong Beili in a daze. Why did he say the same thing to Situ wei? She thought he was on her side.
"Tong Huaer, the more times like this, the less willful you are! Otherwise, even if Dongfang Furen woke up, would you believe that she would scold you? Maybe I'll faint from your anger again!" Zong Beili's cold voice had no room for discussion.
Tong Huaer bit her lip and her eyes slid down her cheeks, "But grandma..."
"Even if she really died today, you are the heir to the Dongfangjia. What you should do is not to hold her and cry!" Zong Beili frowned and looked at her sternly.
"...
Tong Huaer bit his lip and could not speak again.
Every one of them would start from the big picture. How could Tong Huaer not know the truth of this, but she just couldn't let it go!
Grandma was already one of the few family members in this world!
The woman in front of her clenched her lips and her long eyelashes trembled, as if she was trying desperately to endure great sadness.
Zong Beili frowned slightly and suddenly regretted being so fierce to her just now. A complicated emotion flashed in his eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms. His deep voice whispered in her ear, "I'll arrange for the best doctor to come over secretly. Don't worry, she'll be fine! That old lady is a nine-tailed fox. She won't die!"
Tong Huaer shook and looked up at him unhappily, "You... How can you say that about grandma..."
"It doesn't matter what she says, as long as she's okay." If that old lady was really dead, then he would be the one with the biggest headache! Zong Beili frowned and looked at her. He reached out and pressed her against the chair beside him, "Sit here for a while. I'll go and have a look!"
"...
Tong Huaer nodded in shock.
Zong Beili glanced at him and walked towards the door of the ward, stopping in front of Situ Wei, "What did the doctor say?"
Situ wei looked at Tong Huaer, who was sitting on the chair. Her eyes darkened. She looked back at Zong Beili and answered his question seriously with a frown.
From time to time, two men were whispering in the hallway. Tong Huaer sat in a chair in a daze and looked down at the ground with his eyes unfocused.
Her mind was blank, and she had no thoughts at all. There was only one voice in her heart that kept saying, "Grandma can't be anything. Grandma can't be anything..."
"Dongfang Huaer?"
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
Tong Huaer suddenly regained his senses and looked straight at Zong Beili, his eyes filled with confusion.
"You didn't respond when you called your original name. It seems you still have to call you Dongfang Huaer before you can hear it."
Zong Beili looked down at her from above. The tall figure of the man blocked the sunlight, and the shadow completely covered her.
"What... What is it?"
Tong Huaer moved her lips in a daze. She had no intention of joking.
"It's already noon. Let's go for lunch." Zong Beili looked at her and said.
Tong Huaer was stunned. He turned to look around and saw that except for them, only the bodyguards were standing in the corridor. He turned to look at him and asked, "Where's Situ Wei?"
"He went to see the doctor." Zong Beili frowned.
Even though she knew that the reason why she asked about Situ Wei was not because she cared about him, she asked other men in front of her, which somewhat upset Zong Beili.
"Is there any news from the doctor?" Tong Huaer shook and was about to stand up from his chair when Zong Beili suddenly pushed him back. The man frowned at her and said, "No, he's not feeling well. He just went to the doctor to get some medicine."
So this is the case...
Tong Huaer bit his lips and sat down on the chair. After a few seconds, as if he had suddenly reacted, he looked up at zongbei and said sharply, "I'm not hungry yet. Go eat by yourself."
