As expected, it took them about an hour to get to the town in just half an hour, even if they had to travel at the fastest speed possible.

As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she was almost flying. Jiang Yunxian followed closely behind, reminding her to be careful when she bumped into someone or when she slipped in the spilled water on the ground.

Finally, he saw his mother and brother in the corridor, and Chu Li rushed up to them.

"Chu Lan, what's going on?" Why didn't you pick up my phone? Do you know how anxious I am? Why did he hang up without finishing his words? How's Dad? Where is he? Where's the doctor? What did the doctor say? "

At first, Chu Li was worried about his parents. After all, Chu Lan's behavior on the other side of the phone was too scary. However, after seeing his mother sitting in the hallway, Chu Li was slightly relieved. He shifted all his worries onto his father.

"Sis …"

Faced with Chu Li's anxiety and confusion, Chu Lan didn't immediately give an answer. Instead, he was stuttering as he sat there, not looking like a 20-year-old boy, but hiding something from her.

"Over there …" After a long moment, Chu Lan lifted his head to look at Chu Li, pointing his index finger in the direction of the ward.

"Sigh, lime, you're finally back. Your brother and I were so anxious that we didn't know what to do, after all, it happened so suddenly. I just came back from the garden to prepare lunch, and I saw your father lying by the gate. It scared me …" Chu Mu's mother quickly stood up and held Chu Li back, her face full of worry and fear.

It seemed that the matter was no trivial one, but Chu Li vaguely felt that something was amiss. However, she was unable to pinpoint exactly what it was.

"Let me go see Dad! What did the doctor say? Is the operation scheduled? "How much is the fee exactly?"

"This …"

Chu Mu's mother was slightly embarrassed. She noticed Jiang Yunxian, who was following them, and looked at him strangely. She pulled Chu Li into a corner and whispered, "Your boss is pretty good. Did he send you back?"

"Mom, this isn't the time to discuss this, is it?" Chu Li could not help but turn his head to look at Jiang Yunxian, but when he looked back at his mother, the strangeness in his heart grew even stronger.

Not wanting to think about it for so many years, Chu Li felt that she must have been out of sleep all night, and with the sudden bad news, it was hard not to feel nervous, so she decided to quickly go to the ward to take a look at her father.

"Mom, to be honest, is Dad's illness really that serious? Isn't that right? "

When they were only a few meters away from the ward, Chu Li suddenly stopped. This was clearly an ordinary ward! Therefore, she immediately understood where all those strange feelings had come from. After carefully analyzing the situation from the time she received Chu Lan's call to the time she rushed back, she felt very sad.

"Lemon, what are you saying! You have no conscience at all. Your father is lying in there right now! If you don't believe me, go in and take a look! " Mrs Chu was so angry that her face was distorted.

Chu Li's face was stiff, "Sudden cerebral hemorrhage? Do you want an immediate operation? Otherwise, my life will be in danger? " She looked questioningly at her mother and brother, finding herself laughable.

When he pushed the door open and entered, he saw his father lying on a sickbed. Rather than saying that he was sick, it would be more accurate to say that he was on vacation. He looked relaxed as he watched TV with his melon seeds.

"Is this the scene where you cheated me back to show me? There's no need to be like this if you want to trick me into coming back! Is it interesting to pretend to be sick? Is it fun to let me worry about a breakdown? I think Dad is great! " Chu Li could not believe that his own family had used the same trick twice, and she had really been tricked twice. How funny!

When Father Chu saw his daughter, he immediately jumped up from the bed, "How can you call it cheating!" I think it's a waste of all these years to raise you! I'm sick, shouldn't you come back and see? What nonsense are you saying the moment you enter the door? How could I not like it! "

His bloodshot eyes were as wide as the eyes of the old ox he had seen in Chenjiawan when he was a boy, and they seemed to contain an aura of control and a false weariness, perhaps it was true.

At this time, a nurse came to check up on her, Chu Li grabbed her, "Nurse, please tell me how is my father!"

Not interested in bickering with them, Chu Li felt that only evidence could help him stand on the side of justice. This was the chance he had at this very moment.

The nurse looked at Chu Li, then at Chu Mu and Chu Lan, who were standing next to her. She handed over a report on the blood test, her tone soft but somewhat casual.

"Your father? Mr. Chu didn't have any major problems with it. Hypertension was a very common condition, and it was mostly related to a person's physique and diet. Today was the second time that he was taking his blood pressure, so if everything went as normal by tomorrow, he could go back. "However, you still have to take care to protect yourself. Do not eat anything as you wish. You have to follow the rules of diet and rest. You have to check your blood pressure values on time."

As she spoke, she bent down to help him measure his blood pressure. Two minutes later, she stood up. "The current situation is quite stable, so I suggest that we continue observing."

Watching the nurse walk away, Chu Li said helplessly, "Is this what you call a serious illness?" A serious illness for surgery? Do you know how worried I am by not calling on purpose? " She burst into tears, but quickly covered them up with a tissue.

"Lemon, you know how difficult it is at home, don't you? You can't just sit back and do nothing while we're busy with our new house. You're a member of the Chu Clan, and your job is good, so shouldn't you contribute more to the family? " Chu Mu's mother seemed a bit embarrassed, but her desire and expectation for money clearly overshadowed her embarrassed expression.

So, again and again, you play this game of 'the wolf coming'? "I've had enough. Yes, I am indeed from the Chu family, and I was brought up by you all, but you can't only remember me when you need money right?"

She looked at her brother, who was a spectator, and became even angrier, "What about Chu Lan? They were both your children, and he even received more love than I did. Why do you still treat him like a child? "Yes, I have a job and I'm willing to show you respect and support, but you have no reason to put all the pressure on me alone …"

"You …"

Father Chu jumped down from the bed, pointed at Chu Li's nose, and trembled in anger, "I raised you for nothing! I've raised you for nothing! Although I lied a little, I'm not pretending to be sick! Or do you want me to die? Your mother and I are not dead yet! You keep complaining to Chu Lan, what if we die? Are you going to ignore your younger brother and not recognize him as your younger brother? "

"Dad, stop it." Chu Lan walked over to persuade her. "Elder sister must have been in too much of a hurry to say something that would make you angry. I believe she doesn't think that way."

"Listen to it!"

Father Chu took a few deep breaths, his shoulders moving up and down with his movements, "Listen to what your brother has to say! As an older sister, you still want to compete with him? If Chu Lan was a bit bigger and had a stable job, he would be much more filial than you. Everyone said that their daughter was their parents' little cotton-padded jacket. I think our family was just the opposite! I just wanted you to pay me some money to fix it, and that's all I'm unwilling to do. "

"That's right, we didn't think of this idea because we had no other way. Otherwise, would you have come back?" "Moreover, your father is really sick, and we didn't lie completely. It's fine if you don't care for us when you come back, but you just stand there and sneer at us, I even suspect that you're not our biological son!"

Chu Lan stood to the side, maintaining her silence. At this time, she walked up to Chu Li with an expression of "obedient and sensible", "Sis, please don't bother with Mom and Dad. Everyone should speak more gently. There are so many people watching!" Dad's high blood pressure can't be provoked. "

This made Chu Li even angrier. "Don't pretend to be obedient in front of your parents. I watched you grow up. What kind of appearance do you have? You don't know?"

She felt a little sad. Why was it that every time she went home or was called over by her parents, something unpleasant happened? This was simply like a spell, and he didn't know how to break it.

"Lemon, don't go too far! Do you think you can say anything that's bigger than a wave? Let me tell you, he's much more obedient and more sensible than you, the big sister! "

"Then you can only follow your obedient and sensible son! "Anyway, I'm not obedient, I don't have any abilities, and my words are unpleasant to listen to. I'm unable to give you all a happy and happy later years of life." Lemon pushed with the current, but the anger in her heart accumulated more and more, and she felt as if her chest were about to burst.

Father Chu flew into a rage and jumped up again, "Is this what a human should say? Or are you just such an ungrateful person from the bottom of your heart, and you don't want to take responsibility for supporting your parents? What crime did I commit in my previous life? To actually have such a heartless daughter like you! "

His cheeks were puffed up like the noisy toads on the ridge in the spring.

"You …" His father wanted to reprimand him for something, but he suddenly fell on the bed gasping for breath, shocking his mother. She rushed over to help him massage his chest, "Don't be agitated, the doctor said not to have any big emotions."

Mother Chu looked at her father while she glanced at Lemon, "Lemon, you saw it too! Just now, your father was on the verge of going crazy because of what you just said. High blood pressure can also endanger one's life, don't go too far! "
