Chapter 151: The Blizzard’s Over

Xiao Tang went to bed a little early tonight. While he was asleep, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He woke up in a daze and found that his phone was also ringing. He immediately sat up, went over and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Jintai standing outside.

He felt that Shen Jintai’s expression was not right, and all his sleepiness disappeared: “Brother Jin.”

Shen Jintai: “Hurry up and get dressed and take us to the hospital.”

Xiao Tang nodded and quickly ran back to put on his clothes. He didn’t even bother putting on his socks as he put on his shoes and hurried out.

The wind was howling outside blowing snow everywhere. Yan Qiuchi sat in the back silently as Shen Jintai held his hand and kept saying: “They’re okay. They have to be okay.”

Fortunately, the hospital was nearby. When they arrived, Yan Qiuchi immediately opened the car door and ran out. Shen Jintai had never seen him in a panic like this before.

Xiao Tang was unaware of what was going on and had to find a place to park the car. He yelled: “Brother Jin!”

“You go and ask the crew for a break for me. I may not be able to film tomorrow.” Shen Jintai said as he got out of the car and hurried into the hospital. Xiao Tang wanted to remind him to wear a mask but didn’t have time to stop him.

He hurriedly parked the car and called Li Meilan. The phone rang for a while before she answered. Her voice was hoarse as she greeted him with a “Hey” then listen to Xiao Tang. After hearing what he said, she immediately sat up, waking up her husband who was sleeping by her side.

“What’s the matter?”

“Something seems to have happened to Jintai,” Li Meilan said and got up: “You keep an eye on the children. I’ll go over and have a look.”

Her husband opened the curtains and glanced outside, only to see that the wind was blowing heavily with snow outside.

“You’re still going with the weather like this?” Her husband knew that he couldn’t persuade her so he could only send her out at the door: “Be careful on the road.”

Li Meilan nodded, kissed her husband, and hurried out with a scarf around her neck. When she arrived at the hospital, she called Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang ran out to pick her up and said in horror: “Mr. and Mrs. Yan have been in a car accident, and they have been hit by a series of collisions. They are all in the ER now.”

Li Meilan only felt her legs going soft when she heard this, and her heart pounded: “Where is Jintai?”

“He was waiting outside the operating room with President Yan.” Xiao Tang lowered his voice as he said: “A lot of people are here.”

Li Meilan and Xiao Tang took the elevator and went with Xiao Tang to the operating room. They saw a lot of people in the corridor and Shen Jintai was sitting next to Yan Qiuchi. Seeing her coming over, he stood up and walked to her.

“Xiao Tang told me,” Li Meilan hugged Shen Jintai’s arm: “How is it? What did the doctor say?”

Shen Jintai eyes were red, but his expression was calm. He only shook his had and said: “I don’t know.”

As he finished speaking, he heard an elderly old lady walking over accompanied by others and asked: “Did you tell Yaoxuan?”

“He’s abroad.”

“Tell him to come back wherever he is!”

Shen Jintai throat bobbed and said to Li Meilan: “I can’t leave now. Tell the crew tomorrow. They’ll be considerate.”

“I know.”

Shen Jintai returned to Yan Qiuchi’s side. As the old lady came over, Yan Qiuchi stood up and called her: “Grandma.”

Shen Jintai also stood up and Old Lady Feng held Yan Qiuchi’s hand and said: “It’s okay, dear. Don’t worry.”

As she said, she looked at Shen Jintai: “Xiao Jin is here too.”

It seems that she also knew about him. Shen Jintai supported her and said: “Please sit.”

Old Lady Fang sat down, and immediately several men in their 40s and 50s came over to greet her. Old Lady Fang greeted them politely, and when they walked away, she asked Yan Qiuchi: “Did you inform them?”

Yan Qiuchi nodded: “They’re all senior executives of the company, so I have to tell them.”

Old Lady Fang didn’t speak.

At this time, a man who came to greet him just now suddenly said, “I know everyone is very sad and worried now, but I still want to say something now. I hope everyone can keep the news and don’t spread it until the situation becomes clear, so it won’t have an adverse impact on the company. Thank you.”

He bowed after speaking.

Yan Tiefeng was too important, and his influence was also great. If something were to happen, it would have an immeasurable impact on several companies under the Yan’s name. The sharp drop in their stock price is only the most superficial impact.

Old Lady Fang said to Yan Qiuchi: “Your Uncle Wang and Old Li. They have always had a good relationship with your father and were promoted by him. If something happens, you can discuss it with them more and they will help you. As for Deputy Director Liu, President Yun, and the others, you have to pick out and listen carefully to what they say. If they take the opportunity to seize power, you must not be soft.”

Shen Jintai felt that Yan Qiuchi life was not easy at all. While his parents were in the ER with their life uncertain, what he had to do was not just grieve but take care of business.

Yan Qiuchi nodded, his expression resolute.

The operation took a long time as everyone waited outside. When it was almost dawn, everyone’s phone started ringing, one after another. Yan Qiuchi’s second uncle had also rushed over. After greeting him, Yan Qiuchi got up and walked to the bathroom.

Shen Jintai hesitated for a moment and decided to follow him. When he arrived at the bathroom, he did not see Yan Qiuchi. After a while, he saw him coming out of the bathroom stall, his eyes were red.

He came over and hugged Shen Jintai and said: “It’s okay, I’m okay.”

Hearing this, Shen Jintai nose instantly sour as he patted Yan Qiuchi on the back. The two of them came out of the bathroom and walked back to where the operating room was. Suddenly they saw the light on the operating room had changed color and a group of people immediately surrounded the entrance.

Yan Qiuchi and Shen Jintai also hurried over. A doctor came out of the room, took off his mask and said, “Don’t worry, the operation was a success, but it hasn’t passed the dangerous period yet, and we need to keep them under careful observation.”

“Are all three of them okay?” Old Lady Fang asked anxiously.

“We need to keep observing.” The doctor said: “One’s situation is not very optimistic, so we’ll have to see how that turns out tomorrow. The other two shouldn’t be too big of a problem.”

With the situation unknown, nobody left. Everyone went into the VIP ward and waited. Old Lady Fang was a little dizzy and had already laid down. As dawn came, the snow was still falling outside, but the wind had slowly subsided. Li Meilan came over and whispered to Shen Jintai: “We brought some breakfast…”

When Yan Qiuchi heard this, he said to Shen Jintai: “Go eat something, and lie down. You haven’t slept all night.”

Shen Jintai nodded and left with Li Meilan and the others. As soon as he got into the car, he immediately closed his eyes and laid down. His expression moved, as if he was about to cry but still held them back. He barely ate a mouthful of breakfast and only asked Li Meilan: “Did you tell the crew?”

Li Meilan nodded: “I did.”

Shen Jintai sat in the car for a while, then returned to the ward and saw that there were more people now, but Yan Qiuchi was no longer there. Fang Yun, who didn’t have makeup on, came over looking haggard. She whispered: “President Yan and a few directors went next door for a meeting.”

Among the three people, the driver was the most seriously injured, followed by Yan Tiefeng then Mrs. Yan. Even so, she still had not woken up. Suddenly there was a heartbreaking cry outside the ward. When Shen Jintai and others went out to the next door, they saw a woman in her thirties, holding a little girl as she collapsed onto the floor.

Yan Tiefeng’s driver’s injuries suddenly worsened, and he was sent to the operating room again. Shen Jintai only felt his scalp go numb as he squatted against the door frame.

The day felt like it was the longest day of his life. He hadn’t seen Yan Qiuchi again since that morning. When it was evening, good news was finally ushered. Mrs. Yan had woken up and was allowed to receive some relatives and friends for visit.

Yan Qiuchi hadn’t returned yet. Shen Jintai was anxious and wanted to visit her, but he felt too embarrassed given his identity, so he didn’t speak up. He stood at the door and watched Old Lady Fang and the others go in. When they arrived at the door, Old Lady Fang turned her head and saw him then said: “Come in too.”

Shen Jintai almost cried as he nodded and said: “Thank you.”

“She will want to see him.” Old Lady Fang said to Yan Qiuchi’s uncle.

Shen Jintai had never seen the ward before. Looking inside, he felt that it was not all that different from what he had seen in film and television. Mrs. Yan was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator nearby. There were bruises on the corner of her eyes.

Old Lady Fang was calm as she sat down and took her hand. Mrs. Yan was still very weak and unable to speak. Old Lady Fang said: “Everything is fine, everything is fine. Even the driver has been rescued. It’s just that Tiefeng and the others haven’t woken up yet.”

As soon as her voice fell, the sound of rapid footsteps could be heard from outside, then Yan Qiuchi came in. Shen Jintai suddenly couldn’t control his emotions and turned his head.

Mrs. Yan was still very weak, so they didn’t stay in the ward for long. Yan Qiuchi said: “You all go and eat something. I’ll stay here. It’s too chaotic when there are too many people.

Old Lady Fang nodded, and everyone went out. Shen Jintai stood beside him and walked behind Yan Qiuchi. Yan Qiuchi turned his head and beckoned him to come over. Shen Jintai squatted in front of the hospital bed and held Mrs. Yan’s hand.

Mrs. Yan who had always looked glamorous, healthy, and cheerful looked at him weakly at this moment, her arms covered in scars. Shen Jintai felt that he shouldn’t cry so he lowered his head and leaned his forehead on the back of her hand, tears falling directly to the ground.

Fortunately… Fortunately, Mrs. Yan did not leave him and will be his mother in the future.

The two of them stayed in the ward until evening, when Old Lady Fang came to take over and asked them to get something to eat.

“Even if you don’t want to eat, accompany Xiao Jin. Go.” Old Lady Fang said: “We have many relatives staying to watch her.”

When Yan Qiuchi and Shen Jintai came out of the ward, they saw two people suddenly running over from the end of the corridor. They both wore overcoats and had hurried expressions. Coming into view, it was Yan Yaoxuan.

Yan Yaoxuan stopped when he saw Yan Qiuchi. He walked forward panting, teary eyed as he called to him: “Brother…” He rushed up and hugged Yan Qiuchi.

Yan Qiuchi hugged him back and said: “Mom has woken up, go and see her.”

“Where’s dad?”

“Haven’t woken up yet.”

Yan Yaoxuan’s eyes welled with tears and his expression was extremely haggard. When he released him, he hurried into the ward, leaving a young man behind him, who greeted Yan Qiuchi and Shen Jintai.

The man was almost as tall as Yan Qiuchi, his eyes looked cold, and his appearance was quite handsome. He stretched out his hand and said: “I’m Yan Yaoxuan’s friend, Shan Cheng*.”

*Clarity: for those who forgot, this is the guy that Yan Yaoxuan was entangled with abroad and wanted to get expel from school to escape him.

The author has something to say:

I like Mrs. Yan so much. A good mother-in-law will live a long life and be a hundred years old.

We’re entering the ending, but still need to be heavily colored as everyone will shine and heat up.

Kinky Thoughts: Well, this is interesting indeed Yaoxuan. All that’s left is Bai Qingquan and his gong.
