After considering the stakes involved, I became more and more anxious. I had a feeling that something big was about to happen, but I couldn't tell what it was.
Since all the relatives of the Guan family were there, and Guan Ruolan didn't want to leave, we didn't go back to the hotel. We stayed in the hospital to take care of Elder Guan.
Although he was suffering from the pain, Elder Guan wore a happy face. He had a lot of children and grandchildren. However, because of his family, he hadn't been able to gather with them.
Although we kept Elder Guan company, Elder Guan left at around 4: 00 AM the next day. He looked very peaceful when he left. When we saw the pulse device stop beating, the heartbeats of all the people in the room seemed to stop too. It was an indescribable feeling.
From Guan Ruolan's bloodshot eyes, I could see her reluctance, pain, and regret.
Just like that, the ward fell into silence. This lasted for about half an hour. Everyone's faces were filled with unconcealable grief.
"He's an old man who deserves to be respected," I thought to myself.
At six o 'clock in the morning, someone rushed into the ward, accompanied by a shout. "Dad."
It was a lanky young man wearing a suit and leather shoes. He seemed to be in a hurry as he looked a little distressed.
This strange yet familiar voice made Guan Ruolan's soft body shiver. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
That's right, this was her father, Guan Lao Da. Thinking about it, they hadn't seen each other for quite a few years. She had thought that they would reunite during the New Year, but it had been brought forward without any warning, especially under such an occasion.
It wasn't unreasonable for Guan Ruolan to feel so sad. Elder Guan had always loved his eldest son the most. However, he couldn't live up to his expectations. The conflict that year had escalated and made people laugh at him. Even if the father and son didn't turn against each other, it wasn't any better.
Many years had passed, but the father and son had not been able to shake hands and reconcile. Although Guan Ruolan had called in time, she could not prevent the tragedy from happening. The father and son had not been able to see each other for the last time. It had to be said that this was actually quite sad.
"Boss, you're late," said Elder Guan. He sounded a little discontented.
"Yeah, you came one hour earlier. You could have seen our father one last time."
However, seeing Guan Yunjin's tired appearance, they didn't want to scold him further.
Elder Guan ran to Elder Guan's bed and held his hand. His face was full of remorse.
"Dad, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I'm begging you. Please talk to me."
Elder Guan's big tears fell on Elder Guan's dry face. Elder Guan was very sad, but he couldn't wake his father up.
I didn't have a good impression of Guan Yunjin. After all, he was in the wrong first. Elder Guan's temper was obvious. He just wanted to train Guan Yunjin strictly, but it turned out to be the opposite of what he wanted.
No matter what, he was my father-in-law. This was the first time we met, so I couldn't give him a bad attitude.
Guan Lao Da cried for a while before he gradually stopped. At this time, the other three elders looked at Guan Lao Da with disdain. Guan Lao Da's face was filled with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault." Elder Guan lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Sigh, Big Brother, I didn't want to scold you at first, but this time, you've really gone too far. Of course, I can't blame you for this. After all, sometimes, natural disasters happen too suddenly, and we can't control them. However, it turns out that you don't care much about your father. We talked from yesterday afternoon until four or five this morning, and the person that dad talked about the most was you," Guan Lao San said while shaking his head.
Fourth Sister couldn't help but agree. "Yeah, you didn't think about it. How much money do you usually take from father? We won't haggle with you about it. At least, you should care about father!"
"Yes, yes," Elder Guan nodded and said apologetically.
After all these years, there was no need to look into who was right and who was wrong. With the current situation, we should think about how to deal with the aftermath.
"This is?" Elder Guan's gaze moved to me.
"This is my boyfriend." Guan Ruolan walked to my side and said intimately.
"Boyfriend?
Xiao Guan Ruolan, have you lost your mind? At this time, you still brought your boyfriend here. Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?! "Guan Yunjin angrily glared at Guan Ruolan.
"Uh … Hello, Uncle." I braced myself and greeted him.
"Hmph, what Uncle. You brat, don't call me that. Although I'm not by Xiao Lan's side and she doesn't make friends well, I'm partly responsible. But you can't be too greedy. This is our Guan family's private matter. What are you doing here?!" Guan Yunjin curled his lips and said in a bad mood.
His words made me feel very awkward. However, the elders of the Guan family couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions.
"Big Brother, don't be so rash. It's not good for you." The four beauties of the Guan family quickly reminded.
"I know. You want to say that anger is harmful to the body. If it was a small matter, I would turn a blind eye to it. But this is a matter of principle. Today, I will say it here. In my Guan family, as long as it doesn't reach the point of marriage, you can't get involved in the Guan family's business!"
Guan Yunjin suppressed his anger. Obviously, he was angry at his siblings and wanted to find a place to vent his anger. Without a doubt, I became the best place for him to vent his anger.
"Hey, Big Brother, calm down. When my father was alive, he repeatedly emphasized that Xiao Zhuang was his benefactor. If you keep this attitude, he might take you away with him!" Elder Guan cleared his throat and hurriedly stopped me.
"What?
Xiao Zhuang?
You can't be telling me that he is the uncrowned king of the dojo challenge competition, right? "
Guan Yunjin was obviously surprised and asked subconsciously. Because he had been abroad for a long time, the news in China wasn't that convenient. But Guan Yunjin was a martial arts enthusiast. He had searched the internet for information about the dojo challenge competition. He had always worshipped that uncrowned king, but he couldn't find any relevant information. It was a big pity.
