their old lady’s 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.

” third brother … ” it was the old lady who called.

“mom, what’s wrong?”

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 xinhan’s 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 fengwan’s feet.

“you scared me. i thought you were outside.” 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.

“where are you going in the middle of the night?” 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.

“elder xu is in critical condition and left for the capital overnight.”

song fengwan’s pupils contracted. ” critically ill? why did you suddenly …”

” i’m not sure, but he should be in the capital soon. master xu sent him to the capital, and he’s still on the way. there’s only xu yao in the hospital and a group of xu family members. i’ll go and see how he’s doing. ”

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.

“i’ll go with you?”

“no need,” fu chen took the car keys, but song fengwan had already handed him an umbrella.

“the xu family is not in the capital?”

” i think he went back to jinling a few days ago. he’s already on his way here and will only arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest. my parents are a little worried, so i’ll go and take a look. ”

” then be careful. call me when you arrive. ”

“go back to your room to sleep.” 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 car’s 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.

” the weather is really going to change … ” qiao aiyun looked at the bad weather outside and frowned slightly.

“mom, you’re saying that the xu family … will have problems?”

“the waters of the xu family run deep.”

” but their family is very harmonious, and elder xu has already decided that master xu will be the successor. what problems can there be? ” song fengwan was curled up on the sofa, feeling the cold wind blow through her body. she had yet to recover from it.

” that’s because elder xu is still around. if this tree falls, the xu family will be in chaos. ” qiao aiyun shook her head helplessly.

” how many big families didn’t 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. isn’t this common? ”

“the xu family has many capable people, who will first bow down to others and not be willing to establish their own sect?”

song fengwan sighed and did not say anything.

*

at this time, fu chen had arrived at the people’s hospital in beijing.

elder xu hadn’t 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.

“third master, why have you come?” xu yao was surprised. the rain was too heavy, and it was useless to hold an umbrella. half of fu chen’s body was wet, and his hair was wet.

“my parents are worried, and hanchuan called me. how are things here? are you all ready?” fu chen patted him on the shoulder. ” you can tell me anything. ”

“all the uncles are here, everything is ready.”
