Without Old Master Lu around, the lively room became more leisurely. They each held a glass of wine and chatted. From time to time, someone would come over to propose a toast to Lu Beichuan. Lu Beichuan would either give them face or not.
If he gave them face, he would take a small sip. If he didn't, he would casually respond with a few words. He always kept in mind what Ye Zhen had told him not to get drunk.
Moreover, Lu Beichuan didn't know Old Master Lu's exact condition, so he had to stay sober.
"Zhouzhou, did you fall just now?" Ye Zhen squatted down to size him up.
If he had fallen just now, it definitely wouldn't have been a light fall.
Zhouzhou squinted his eyes and smiled. "Daddy hugged me!"
Ye Zhen smiled and stroked the back of his head. She looked in Lu Beichuan's direction.
Lu Beichuan also heard Zhouzhou's voice and looked over. When their eyes met, they saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Old Master Lu, who was being helped back to his room by Uncle Lu and Lu Shaoyan, didn't look too good. He sat down on the sofa and panted.
Uncle Lu helped him sit down and quickly took out a few colorful pills from the cabinet. Lu Shaoyan brought a glass of warm water and brought it to Old Master Lu.
The old man was panting heavily and swallowed the water with the pills. Lu Shaoyan patted him on the side. He rested for a long time before he stabilized.
Uncle Lu looked at Old Master Lu and panicked. "Old Master Lu, this won't do. I'll call the doctor over."
Old Master Lu waved his hand. "What are you shouting for? It's the New Year. You just sent the doctor away, and now you're calling him back? How are you going to let him celebrate the New Year?"
"But your body …"
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Shaoyan and said, "It's nothing. It's just an old problem. I'll be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a while." As he spoke, Old Master Lu looked at Lu Shaoyan and said, "You go out and play with them too. You don't have to stay with me. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
"You're already in this state and you still say you're fine? I thought you were different from the other old men, but now I see that you're more or less the same. "
Hearing this, Old Master Lu was not angry. Instead, he laughed. "Now you're trying to control me? I've spoiled you!"
Uncle Lu brought over a blanket to cover the old man. Lu Shaoyan tucked him in and said, "You should stay in your room and rest for the next few days. Don't get involved in the matters outside. It's important that you take care of your health first. New Year celebrations happen every year. Only when you take care of your health can we celebrate New Year's with you every year, right?"
"Dad is old, and his health is failing. How many more years can I spend with you?"
Lu Shaoyan was silent for a moment, then he laughed again. "What nonsense are you talking about? After New Year's, we'll go to the hospital for a check-up. If there's really an illness, we're not afraid. If there's an illness, we'll treat it overseas. Medicine is so advanced now.
"Treat it overseas …" Old Master Lu sighed regretfully. "Was your mother's illness also treated overseas?"
Perhaps it was because he was old, but Old Master Lu had been particularly fond of reminiscing about the past recently. However, when he thought about the past again and again, feelings of regret and pity made it difficult for him to sleep at night.
Some things had become regrets. The more time passed, the harder it was to make up for them.
Old Master Lu was rich and powerful, but he was powerless to change the past.
Lu Shaoyan did not speak. He remained silent and only looked at him without blinking.
"Your mother … is she okay now?"
Lu Shaoyan did not speak. Old Master Lu's heart hung in the air for no reason.
"Tell me, is your mother okay now?"
Uncle Lu seemed to have noticed something. He came over and advised with a smile, "Old Master, it's getting late. You should rest well. If there's anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
However, Old Master Lu turned a deaf ear. He stared at Lu Shaoyan, his hands trembling unconsciously. "What's wrong with your mother?"
After a long silence, Lu Shaoyan's face was expressionless. He was a completely different person from his usual carefree and unrestrained appearance. "I told you long ago that she's doing well overseas."
Lu Shaoyan stood up. "You're not feeling well. Rest early."
Old Master Lu wanted to grab him and ask him a few more questions, but Lu Shaoyan forcefully brushed his hand away. "I'm leaving first."
"Old Master Lu, stop him. I still … still have something to ask him!" Old Master Lu was agitated. His chest was heaving up and down.
Uncle Lu did not stop Lu Shaoyan. He watched him leave and painstakingly advised Old Master Lu, "Old Master, the doctor said before the New Year that even if you don't go to the hospital for treatment, you still have to rest well. Why are you working so hard today? Can anything be more important than your health? Listen to Old Lu and take care of your body. You can ask whatever you want, okay? "
