Yang Cheng sat there in a daze. Lin Ruoxi's cold water splashed all over him and he was at a loss for words.
That's right. What kind of identity and reason did he have to control the man she chose?
He was the one who asked her to stay away from him. Why did he have to control her now?
Lin Ruoxi saw that Yang Cheng had calmed down and said earnestly, "How about this, I'll find some time to talk to Jingjing in private. If you interfere, it will only make her feel disgusted."
Yang Cheng gave his wife a deep look. He felt that Lin Ruoxi's way of thinking was more appropriate. He nodded. "I'll leave it to you then. I don't want Old Lee to accuse me of harming their daughter the next time I see him."
"Mm." Lin Ruoxi nodded and patted Yang Cheng's hand.
Not long after, the main theme of the banquet finally began.
After Park Cheon's emotional opening speech, the main character of the night, Zhenxiu, walked out from the stage.
Zhenxiu was dressed in a baby grey fishtail evening gown with a blue diamond pendant hanging in front of her pink chest. Under the spotlight, the girl with light makeup exuded a feminine charm. Her fair, natural beauty attracted the eyes of many young men.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Genes may not always be accurate, but most of the time, it still showed.
Yoo Yeonhee was the queen of South Korea. Her talent aside, her looks were indeed better than most female stars in the entertainment industry. Zhenxiu and Yoo Yeonhee shared the same bloodline. Just like her cousin, Zhenxiu's beauty became more prominent as she grew older.
Of course, Yang Cheng did not want Zhenxiu to be as vicious as Yoo Yeonhee.
Hearing the applause and praises from the audience, Zhenxiu greeted everyone shyly.
Park Cheon, on the other hand, was quite pleased that his precious granddaughter was being praised. He laughed proudly at the side.
Apart from Yoo Yeonhee, the other members of the Park family were all present at the banquet.
No matter what they were secretly thinking, on the surface, they all welcomed Zhenxiu's return.
After a while, Park Cheon gestured for the crowd to quiet down and walked to the microphone again.
"Today, in addition to holding this welcome party for my granddaughter, Zhenxiu, I would also like to take this opportunity to officially extend an invitation to everyone.
I hereby announce that on the eleventh of this month, we will officially hold the succession ceremony of our family. Zhenxiu will officially become the legal heir of our family, the Starmoon Group!
At that time, I hope that everyone here can reunite again. Thank you all! "
After Park Cheon finished, he bowed solemnly on the stage.
All the guests were planning to applaud and celebrate, but a scene that they were completely unprepared for suddenly happened in front of them!
Park Jonghyun, who had just bowed, suddenly felt his knees buckle and he fell to the ground!
Park Jonghyun's face was pale from the pain. He was drenched in cold sweat as he clutched his chest with one hand. His body trembled as he fainted on the ground!
"WHOOSH!!!"
The crowd was in an uproar!
Zhenxiu, who was at the side, was startled at first, but then she screamed and rushed forward to stand in front of Park Cheon, yelling "Grandfather" repeatedly.
Park Cheon's eyes rolled back and he had already fainted!
"Call an ambulance! Quick, call an ambulance!! "Park Jiyeon screamed in panic.
Park Jonghyun rushed to the stage and shouted for Park Cheon along with Zhenxiu, his face filled with anxiety and worry.
Park Cheon's bodyguards rushed forward and surrounded them.
Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi stood up as well. Jane quickly put down her wine glass, lifted her dress and ran over.
Gong Gyechung of the Gong family, who was closest to the stage, gestured for Lee Eunjeong to go up and take a look. Lee Eunjeong's expression was solemn as he ran up the stage and shouted that he was a doctor to disperse the bodyguards.
Lee Eunjeong reached out to check his breathing. "Everyone, don't panic. He's still breathing. I'll make sure he's well after we send him to the hospital!"
"Doctor Lee, what's wrong with my grandfather?!" Park Jonghyun asked anxiously.
Lee Eunjeong furrowed his brows. "We can't be sure at the moment but it shouldn't be related to the liver tumor. We'll only be able to confirm it after we receive emergency treatment at the hospital."
Jane, who was already on the stage, parted the crowd and crouched down to place a hand on Park Cheon's chest.
The Park family knew that Jane was one of the doctors who came to treat Park Cheon so they did not stop her.
"Doctor Jane, did you find something?" Park Jiyeon asked with concern.
Jane sighed. "If I'm not mistaken, we're in big trouble …"
Lee Eunjeong was displeased. "Doctor Jane, don't be an alarmist. A doctor can't jump to conclusions before a diagnosis is made."
Jane couldn't be bothered with him. She quickly stood up, turned around, and walked down the stage.
All the guests whispered to each other. Some of them looked worried, while others were gloating.
The night of banquet ended with the siren of the ambulance at its climax …
Park Cheon was quickly sent to the hospital with the rest of the Park family following behind him. Zhenxiu was bawling her eyes out, looking pitiful.
As they were worried about Zhenxiu, Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi got into the bodyguard's car and rushed to Seoul University Hospital. It was one of the best hospitals in South Korea which the Gong clan had a majority of shares in.
Park Cheon finally regained consciousness after Lee Eunjeong's team performed the emergency treatment. After a CT scan, he was placed in the intensive care unit with an oxygen tube inserted.
In the hospital's small conference room, the Park family and the Gong family began discussing Park Cheon's condition with the medical team.
Jane, who came to the hospital with two American students, was with Lee Eunjeong's team. After going through the data and images, their faces were solemn.
Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi sat at the side. They couldn't speak, so they could only listen quietly.
"Doctor Lee, what's wrong with my grandfather? If it's not a liver problem, what is it?!" Park Jonghyun asked anxiously.
Lee Eunjeong adjusted his glasses and sighed heavily. "The president underwent the BATISTA surgery three years ago. I'm sure everyone remembers it."
"BATISTA surgery?" Park Jiyeon recalled something. "Is it the heart surgery?"
"That's right." Lee Eunjeong said, "It must be the failure of the BATISTA surgery that led to today's situation."
"Huh?! How could it be like this?! "Yoo Homyeong slammed the table in anger.
Zhenxiu asked with teary eyes, "Doctor, what is the BATISTA surgery?"
Lee Eunjeong put on a profound expression and said, "The BATISTA surgery is named after the Brazilian inventor, Dr. Batista.
It's a micro-surgery that targets the overinflated heart due to stress. The heart muscle is removed from the overinflated area and sutured to shrink the heart.
It's one of the most difficult surgeries in the world of medicine. For patients who need a heart transplant, it's a core skill. "
"That's right. Grandpa did undergo the BATISTA surgery but the American doctor said it was a success!" Park Jonghyun said.
Jane, who had been silent all this while, crossed her arms in front of her chest. She pondered for a moment before speaking. "It was a success. It wasn't caused by the doctor's failure.
Three years ago, the BATISTA surgery had caused President Park Cheon's heart to suddenly deteriorate due to his poor physical condition. After the BATISTA surgery, the heart won't be able to fully recover its functions.
Now, heart dysfunction is caused by a decrease in the contraction of the heart muscle due to various reasons. This leads to a decrease in the heart's blood output, resulting in blood stasis in the systemic or pulmonary circulation. "
The group of people listened in confusion, while the two American doctors, Warren and Vincent, looked at their teacher in admiration.
Lee Eunjeong was displeased by Jane's rebuttal. He said in a muffled voice, "Doctor Jane's analysis makes sense. Then, may I ask Doctor Jane, is there any way to cure the heart's decline?"
Jane turned her head and looked at Lee Eunjeong as if he was an idiot. "Doctor Lee, don't you think this question is nonsense? Other than a heart transplant, do you think there's any other way to save this dying heart?"
"I … You …" Lee Eunjeong blushed. He only realized how silly his question was when he asked it.
Gong Gye Chung said with a smile, "Doctor Jane, allow me to say something. I don't think your explanation is appropriate.
Although I'm not a doctor, from what I know, if President Park Cheon were to undergo a heart transplant after the liver transplant, the old president's body wouldn't be able to handle the expenditure. "
