their old ladyâs health had not been very good either. it was almost foreseeable that it would not be good news if she called in the middle of the night.
â third brother ... â it was the old lady who called.
âmom, whatâs wrong?â
song fengwan watched in a daze as fu chen sat up and listened to his phone call quietly.
however, the wind outside was strong, and the rain hit the glass, so no words could be heard.
she stood up and walked to the window.
a bolt of blue-purple autumn thunder cut through the night sky, as if it had torn a big hole in the sky. heavy rain poured down.
she was shocked and subconsciously ran downstairs. with this rain, fu xinhanâs kennel would probably be flooded if he was outside.
when she ran to the corner of the corridor, she saw fu xinhan, who was curled up on the sofa. at this time, he was also shocked awake by the sudden thunder. he looked out of the house and then rubbed himself against song fengwanâs feet.
âyou scared me. i thought you were outside.â song fengwan squatted down and patted its head.
she had consulted the doctor about keeping a dog. as long as she paid attention, checked it regularly, and avoided too close contact, there was usually no problem.
fu xinhan took her hand and rubbed it against her palm, but he suddenly looked up upstairs.
song fengwan turned her head and saw that fu chen had changed his clothes and was ready to go out.
âwhere are you going in the middle of the night?â song fengwan sized him up.
fu chen had changed into a simple gray windbreaker and put on a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. he would occasionally wear these anti-blue light glasses when he worked, and he usually put them on the bed.
âelder xu is in critical condition and left for the capital overnight.â
song fengwanâs pupils contracted. â critically ill? why did you suddenly ...â
â iâm not sure, but he should be in the capital soon. master xu sent him to the capital, and heâs still on the way. thereâs only xu yao in the hospital and a group of xu family members. iâll go and see how heâs doing. â
the hospital that the xu family had booked was the closest one to the highway exit. it was only a twenty-minute drive from yunjin city.
âiâll go with you?â
âno need,â fu chen took the car keys, but song fengwan had already handed him an umbrella.
âthe xu family is not in the capital?â
â i think he went back to jinling a few days ago. heâs already on his way here and will only arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest. my parents are a little worried, so iâll go and take a look. â
â then be careful. call me when you arrive. â
âgo back to your room to sleep.â fu chen half-hugged her and kissed her on the forehead, then turned around and opened the door.
when the cool wind came in from the door, it made people feel cold all over, and the back of their necks were drooped. the rain instantly swept in.
fu chen closed the door. song fengwan stood by the window and watched his carâs tail lights disappear in the rain. she leaned on the sofa, not feeling sleepy at all.
qiao aiyun heard the sound of the car and went downstairs. when she heard that elder xu was in critical condition, she accompanied him in the living room and waited for news.
â the weather is really going to change ... â qiao aiyun looked at the bad weather outside and frowned slightly.
âmom, youâre saying that the xu family ... will have problems?â
âthe waters of the xu family run deep.â
â but their family is very harmonious, and elder xu has already decided that master xu will be the successor. what problems can there be? â song fengwan was curled up on the sofa, feeling the cold wind blow through her body. she had yet to recover from it.
â thatâs because elder xu is still around. if this tree falls, the xu family will be in chaos. â qiao aiyun shook her head helplessly.
â how many big families didnât get along with each other when the older generation was still around? once the people in charge left, they split up the family and took the property. isnât this common? â
âthe xu family has many capable people, who will first bow down to others and not be willing to establish their own sect?â
song fengwan sighed and did not say anything.

at this time, fu chen had arrived at the peopleâs hospital in beijing.
elder xu hadnât arrived yet, but the xu family came first and contacted the medical staff. everyone and facilities were ready. there were twenty to thirty people sitting in the hall. although there was no heated discussion, fu chen could clearly see that there were several groups of people.
even though they were a family, there was always a distance.
xu yao squatted by the door alone. he was still wearing his pajamas, and his face looked even paler under the white light.
âthird master, why have you come?â xu yao was surprised. the rain was too heavy, and it was useless to hold an umbrella. half of fu chenâs body was wet, and his hair was wet.
âmy parents are worried, and hanchuan called me. how are things here? are you all ready?â fu chen patted him on the shoulder. â you can tell me anything. â
âall the uncles are here, everything is ready.â
