Jinhua Luxury Shopping Mall.
Ye Xuan first entered a men's clothing store. He changed out of his black ancient robe and picked out a few sets of clothes. Under the passionate gaze of the beautiful salesperson, Ye Xuan swiped his card and left, ignoring the small note that the salesperson secretly slipped him.
Shopping, a lot of shopping. Ye Xuan went on a shopping spree, from women's clothing to all kinds of goods. When he came out of Jinhua Shopping Mall, he had spent a total of 300,000 Huaxia dollars.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh. He had only bought some clothes and had actually spent 300,000. If it were him four years ago, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Ye Xuan headed straight home with a large number of goods in his hands. As for buying a house for his mother and sister to change their environment, he didn't consider it for the time being. It wasn't because of anything else, but because Ye Xuan had inquired about the price of the house.
In a first-tier city like Jiangnan, a house in the city center would cost at least a few million. Obviously, Ye Xuan didn't have enough money.
Moreover, since Ye Xuan was planning to improve his family's living conditions, he naturally wouldn't consider buying an ordinary house. The worst would be a villa, and the money needed would probably start at least in the tens of millions.
…
Jiangnan Hospital.
Just as Zhuo Junting arrived at the intensive care unit, she saw that the outside of the ward was already filled with people from the Zhuo family.
"Junting, although our Zhuo family is rich, you're too much. How could you let a charlatan cheat you out of two million to buy a useless jade talisman? If this were to spread, wouldn't we be ridiculed by others?" Zhuo Wenbin scolded Zhuo Junting with a gloomy expression.
"Tingting, it's not that I want to nag you, but now that the old master is critically ill, all the families are eyeing our Zhuo family. It's better if you don't do such things in the future." A middle-aged upper-class lady said with hidden meaning.
Hmph!
Zhuo Wenshan snorted and said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, have you said enough? The old master isn't dead yet. It's not up to you to teach Tingting a lesson. "
"Big Brother, Tingting is your daughter. It's not right for you to protect her like this. Moreover, before the Old Master fell into a coma, he didn't say that he would pass the position of the Family Head to you." Zhuo Wenbin sneered again and again, appearing to have nothing to fear.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, the Old Master is critically ill now. Why are you arguing over such a trivial matter?" Zhuo Meiyun scolded her two brothers directly.
"Tingting, what's done is done. Just be careful next time." Zhuo Meiyun comforted Zhuo Junting.
At this time, Jun Ting frowned. It was obvious that the bodyguard had told the family about her matter, which led to this dispute. But obviously, this wasn't important. Ever since Grandpa fell into a coma, Second Uncle seemed to have changed into a different person. He had the intention to compete with Father for the position of Family Head.
This was not the first time he had used this as a pretext to make a fuss.
Creak!
The intensive care unit was pushed open, and several doctors and nurses walked out of the room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Academician Bai, how is my Old Master now?" Zhuo Wenshan walked quickly to greet them, followed by the other members of the Zhuo Family.
If Ye Xuan were present at this time, he would definitely recognize that the doctor walking in front was Director Bai of Jiangnan Hospital.
Director Bai sighed and said with shame, "We've tried our best. Please restrain your grief. You can go in and take a last look at Old Master Zhuo."
The sudden bad news directly made Jun Ting's face turn pale. She even staggered into the intensive care unit.
The three siblings of the Zhuo Family were stunned at first, but they also quickly walked into the ward.
In the intensive care unit.
The Old Master of the Zhuo Family had a haggard face and a thin body. The medical equipment in front of him beeped, and his heart beat every five seconds. Obviously, it wouldn't be long before the Old Master of the Zhuo Family passed away.
"Dad."
As the members of the Zhuo Family poured in, a few sorrowful cries were heard. Jun Ting bit her lips and stared blankly at the grandfather who had loved her the most since she was a child. A lot of tears appeared in her eyes.
"Grandpa … Grandpa … You … Are you really going to leave Junting?"
Jun Ting choked with sobs and kept shaking the Old Master's arm. However, no matter how she called, the Old Master didn't respond at all.
Jun Ting's father and Jun Meiyun looked sad, while Jun Bin had a complicated look in his eyes. However, he hid it very well.
When the Zhuo Family was immersed in sorrow, Jun Ting's action suddenly made the Zhuo Family's expressions change.
"Tingting, what are you doing?" The father, Zhuo Wenshan, asked in surprise.
"Junting, now is not the time for you to be fooling around." The second uncle, Zhuo Wenbin, scolded coldly.
"Tingting, quickly take that thing away from your grandfather's forehead." Zhuo Meiyun's expression was also a little unfriendly.
As the saying goes, when a patient is in a desperate situation, Jun Ting didn't care whether Ye Xuan was a liar or not. She directly took out the jade talisman that Ye Xuan sold and quickly put it on the Old Master's forehead.
Although Jun Ting knew that this couldn't save her grandfather's life, she wouldn't let go even if it was the last glimmer of hope. Perhaps this was also some comfort she was seeking in her heart.
Just as the father, Zhuo Wenshan, was about to step forward to stop his daughter's nonsense, what happened next shocked the Zhuo Family and made them all freeze in place.
"Ah!"
It sounded like the cry of an owl or the wail of a ghost.
An ear-piercing scream came from Old Master Zhuo's body. The jade talisman was emitting a blood-red light, enveloping Old Master Zhuo's body.
"Buzz!"
The jade talisman moved without any wind and slowly rose into the air. A pitch-black ghost shadow escaped from Old Master Zhuo's body and madly escaped out of the window.
"Crack!"
The jade talisman's blood-red light shone brightly and directly enveloped the void, causing an explosion in the void. A blood-red thunderbolt struck out and destroyed the ghost shadow into ashes. The jade talisman suspended in the air also turned into a pile of white powder at this moment.
At the same time, in a dark room in Jiangnan City, a black-robed man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura instantly weakened.
"No … impossible … Who … who killed my Ghost Baby … He … Who is he?" The black-robed man said with a trembling voice. Although he was also seriously injured due to the influence of his aura, the death of the Ghost Baby shocked him even more.
In the intensive care unit of Jiangnan Hospital.
The vision had disappeared, but the Zhuo Family seemed to be still in a dream and couldn't come to their senses for a long time. It wasn't until Old Master Zhuo groaned weakly that the Zhuo Family woke up from the shock.
"Grandpa … Grandpa … Are you awake?" Jun Ting didn't care about the strange vision just now and hurried to Old Master Zhuo's bedside.
"Dad, are you all right?" The children of the Zhuo Family hurried to him, each of their faces filled with excitement.
"I almost died. Unfortunately, I was saved by an expert. That's why I survived," Old Master Zhuo said weakly.
Even though he was unconscious, he could still hear everything that was happening outside. It was just that he could not move or speak.
