Chapter 419 My First Time
Upon hearing a noise from upstairs, the two immediately stopped talking and looked up.
It was Mr. Zhou coming down from upstairs.
Yan Zhixu gave Wei Qing a wink, and the latter understood and left.
Yan Zhixu stood up: "Grandpa, can we set off now?"
Mr. Zhou responded, went downstairs, looked around, and asked, "Where is Lisa?"
Yan Zhixu: "I have to go now."
Mr. Zhou frowned: "Then what is she doing here? Is she here to see you?"
Yan Zhixu did not answer, but only said, "Let's go, the car is ready."
Mr. Zhou gave him a meaningful look and walked out first.
The grandfather and grandson sat in the back seat of the car, but the old man, probably thinking of his boss at the hospital, had no interest in speaking and closed his eyes to doze off.
Yan Zhixu had a lot to do, so she started working on her tablet as soon as she got in the car.
The car fell silent for a moment.
The car drove smoothly on the road.
Yan Zhixu's phone vibrated. In order not to disturb the old man, he put his phone on vibrate.
I took it out and looked at it; it was a WeChat message from Liang Liangwei: 【Are you alright? How is Grandma?】
His expression softened, and he typed a reply: "The situation is stable for now. Are you up?"
Liang Liangwei: [Not yet, just woke up, still lazing in bed, will get up in a bit.]
The next moment, she sent a selfie. She was lying in bed in her pajamas, smiling slightly at the camera, her eyes still showing the sleepiness of someone who had just woken up.
He gazed tenderly at the photo, unable to resist reaching out to touch the screen. Just as he raised his thumb, he suddenly heard a few coughs beside him, his finger trembled, and he withdrew it.
Mr. Zhou coughed softly a few times.
Yan Zhixu put down her phone and turned to look at him: "Are you feeling unwell?"
The old man shook his head, cleared his throat, and said, "I spoke with your father on the phone a couple of days ago. We talked about the girl you like. Did you bring her home?"
Yan Zhixu said gently, "Yes, I went back with her to meet her family."
The old gentleman joked, "So, you two are getting married soon? Have you proposed yet?"
Yan Zhixu still felt a little embarrassed when she thought about Liang Liangwei refusing to sign the equity transfer agreement. She subconsciously rubbed her nose and said, "Not yet, I forgot to prepare the ring."
The old man shook his head and sighed, looking at him with a disappointed expression: "You can be so careless too."
Yan Zhixu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "There's nothing I can do. It's my first time, so it's inevitable that I'll miss something. But I'm already making up for it. I made an appointment with a jewelry designer before returning to China yesterday, and I've already commissioned them to design and make the jewelry. I'll propose to her as soon as it's finished."
The old gentleman nodded slightly.
Yan Zhixu: "The renovation of the villa over there is nearing completion and will be finished early next year. My father and my eldest brother have both sent gifts to ward off evil spirits. After the New Year, we will arrange for you and your grandmother to return to China to settle down."
The old man nodded and said with emotion, "We've finally waited for this day. Your grandmother and I have been looking forward to it for half our lives..."
When he was young, he was only focused on working hard and making money in a foreign country and did not care about the change of status. Later, he found that foreign countries were not as he had imagined. It was too late to return to China. No matter how much he paid, neither side was willing to give in. He and his wife could only stay here.
After the loss of their daughter, the couple almost collapsed and were unable to take care of their young grandson, so they had to entrust him to their uncle in China.
He thought that this was how his life would end, and he and his wife would peacefully accept being buried in a foreign land after their deaths. Little did they know that their grown-up grandson would be so capable. Not only did he take over his business, but he also expanded it several times over with his own abilities. Furthermore, he did something amazing, successfully helping the couple obtain the opportunity to change their nationality back to their original one.
They dream of returning to their homeland to retire and return to their roots!
Just as his dream was about to be realized, his wife suddenly suffered a heart attack, and her life hung in the balance.
Thinking of this, the old man felt a pang of pain in his heart and was filled with remorse.
If he had stopped his wife from going out yesterday, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way... But who can predict the future?
Yan Zhixu said solemnly, "I will definitely make your wish come true. You and Grandma just need to wait. I will take care of everything."
The old man's heavy heart dissipated considerably because of his words, and he nodded with satisfaction.
It was also noted that the grandson had changed a lot since returning to China three months ago; he was gentler, more talkative, and often spoke with a smile.
That's more like being a normal person, instead of just focusing on work and living like a work robot.
This must all be thanks to that girl in China. I heard from the old man in the Yan family that the girl is not only beautiful, but also very individualistic and opinionated. She's the kind of girl that people would easily like once they get to know her.
No wonder she's so infatuated with her arrogant grandson.
He had just noticed the tender look in Yan Zhixu's eyes as she looked at the photo.
Good.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the grandmother and grandson rushed to the VIP ward where the old lady was staying.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Lai passed the critical period and was transferred to a VIP ward, but she has not yet woken up.
Zhou Mei stayed with them in the ward, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them.
She stayed up all night and only managed to get some sleep during the day; she looked exhausted.
After handing over the duties to Yan Zhixu, she went back to rest.
The old man sat by his wife's bedside, silently tucking her in, his face full of heartache.
Yan Zhixu was talking to the doctor outside the ward about the old man's condition and also asked about Xinyuan's situation, but the doctor shook his head.
"No news at the moment."
Yan Zhixu: "If there's a need to increase the price, we'll accept any amount."
Doctor: "This isn't about the money, but I'll try my best to help you make the connections."
After the doctor left, Yan Zhixu stood there lost in thought.
His phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw it was a call from a special number.
After a few seconds, he finally answered the phone.
"Good evening, Mr. Maas."
"Vito, I heard about what happened to your elderly relative. Are you in the hospital right now?"
Yan Zhixu: "Yes, Mr. Maas is very well-informed."
"Do you have time to meet and talk?"
Yan Zhixu: "You know, I'm probably not in a good mood right now."
"Don't you want to know what I want to talk to you about?"
Yan Zhixu: "If it's still about political matters, as I said before, I can't help you."
"What if it's a business matter? You've probably seen those messages. We have different paths and can't work together. We've long since severed ties."
Yan Zhixu: "Mr. Maas's business empire is no less than my Bosch's, and his connections and influence among the Ang tribe are also very significant. What can I do to help you?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone, how about a face-to-face meeting?"
Yan Zhixu remained silent for a moment.
What if I told you I could provide you with a healthy heart?
Yan Zhixu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Mr. Maas, I cannot accept anything that is illegal."
"Haha, that's not the case, but you should know that there are many people who have accidents every day in this world, traffic accidents, falls, fights... I have a hospital under my command, and people are brought in for emergency treatment every day... but it's ineffective."
Yan Zhixu was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's meet."
