In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 132 Old Master Xie Critically Ill

But Xu Jinzhi insisted, saying her throat was just uncomfortable and it wasn’t a big issue, and she was also trying for a baby, so taking medication wouldn’t be good for the baby.

Xie Yanchuan thought that taking medication for a small issue could lead to resistance, and it was best not to take any if possible, so he went along with Xu Jinzhi.

But if it didn’t get better, he definitely wouldn’t let Xu Jinzhi be reckless.

The driver had already turned the car around, and Xu Jinzhi quickly said, "I’m off, you should hurry inside."

"Ok." Xie Yanchuan responded, but still remained standing in place.

Xu Jinzhi had stepped away but then stepped back, tiptoed, and quickly kissed Xie Yanchuan.

"Be good and wait for me at home, I’m off to make money to support you," Xu Jinzhi said.

By the time Xie Yanchuan reacted, Xu Jinzhi had already dashed out and he watched her get into the car and leave, a smile involuntarily spread across his lips.

After arriving at the office, Xu Jinzhi rushed into the meeting room for a meeting.

Today was the first day after the New Year, and the first meeting in the morning was the board meeting. The room wasn’t serious like it should have been during work; everyone was chatting with each other.

Seeing Xu Jinzhi arrive, they all spoke with beaming smiles and even handed out red envelopes to her.

As the junior, Xu Jinzhi knew they would give red envelopes and didn’t endlessly refuse. She respectfully exchanged New Year greetings with them and took the red envelopes from their hands.

By the end of it, she had a stack of red envelopes in her hand and Xu Jinzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After some simple greetings, they finally got down to business, and by the time they finished, it was time for lunch.

Xu Jinzhi made an excuse to return to her office; she had actually been holding it all morning and was rushing to the restroom, then would drop by her office on the way back.

On the way, she ran into Assistant Wen, who was about to have lunch, and he also handed a red envelope to Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was somewhat baffled, "What’s this for?"

Assistant Wen said, "It’s your startup red envelope."

Xu Jinzhi suddenly realized she had forgotten about it, took it from Assistant Wen’s hand, and casually thanked him.

The two headed to the cafeteria together, where Xu Jinzhi learned from Assistant Wen that Liang Yu had resolved the issue with the construction materials that couldn’t be delivered on time during the New Year holidays.

Xu Jinzhi raised her eyebrow slightly; Liang Yu indeed had some capability.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t dwell on it, as the workload was clearly divided between the two sides; that was the Xie Group’s matter, and as long as they had arranged everything well, it was fine.

When they reached the cafeteria, Xu Jinzhi parted ways with Assistant Wen and went straight to find her father.

In the afternoon, Xu Jinzhi was busy as well, and she had evening engagements, so she couldn’t leave work on time and sent a message to Xie Yanchuan early.

Xie Yanchuan was used to Xu Jinzhi’s busy schedule, knew she would come home late tonight, and didn’t say much.

In the study, Xie Yanchuan was filling out a professional title application form.

As he looked at each section that he needed to fill in, Xie Yanchuan blinked lightly.

He’d never cared about fame or fortune before; he just wanted to quietly do the things that felt meaningful to him, but now, he felt that he ought to strive for more.

Xu Jinzhi was so dazzling, and he wanted to become someone worthy of standing beside him.

Before they knew it, the start of the school year for Xie Yanchuan had arrived, and their lives had returned to their previous routine, sticking to the two points between work and home.

But Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan’s relationship was going smoothly, and their work was also progressing without obstacles; everything was going smoothly, and there was nothing better than days like these.

However, when early March rolled around, Old Master Xie fell ill.

At first, it was just a lack of energy, and although the Xie Family was somewhat worried, the doctors at the hospital said there was nothing serious, just the natural decline that comes with age.

But by mid-March, despite being well cared for with good food and drink at home, Old Master Xie hadn’t improved at all; in fact, he seemed to be getting worse.

The Xie Family quickly rushed him to the hospital.

When Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan arrived at the hospital, Xie Xingchuan was cutting fruit for Old Master Xie, but he was so unskilled that the apple was getting smaller and smaller.

Even though He Shuying adored Xie Xingchuan, she couldn’t bear to watch any longer and said irritably, "You’d better step aside."

"It looks fine to me," Xie Xingchuan said, rather satisfied with his craftsmanship.

Once he finished, Xie Xingchuan said proudly, "This is filled with my best wishes. Grandpa just needs to eat it, and he’ll get better immediately!"

"Grandpa, please eat it!" Xie Xingchuan presented the apple like a precious treasure.

He Shuying couldn’t help but roll her eyes, but Old Master Xie was all smiles, "Yes, Grandpa will definitely feel better after eating this."

When Old Master Xie saw Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan, he greeted them warmly, "You’re here."

"How are you feeling?" Xie Yanchuan asked, his expression clouded with concern.

"I’m fine, it’s just your parents making a big deal out of nothing," Old Master Xie said stubbornly.

He Shuying didn’t say much in response, as it was best to just go along with Old Master Xie and keep him happy.

Naturally, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t believe Old Master Xie’s words; he stayed a while in the hospital room before excusing himself to leave.

Xie Yanchuan went to talk to the doctors about Old Master Xie’s condition, then left with a complex expression on his face.

Xu Jinzhi followed him, seeing how worried Xie Yanchuan was, and couldn’t help but comfort him, "Don’t worry, Grandpa will definitely be okay."

Xu Jinzhi thought back carefully; in his previous life around this time, Old Master Xie had also been unwell, but since he got better later and was even robust, it was only after Xie Yanchuan’s death that his health truly deteriorated.

So in this life, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t been concerned about it until Old Master Xie was hospitalized.

But Xie Yanchuan, unaware of what had happened in the previous life, found little comfort in Xu Jinzhi’s words and remained very worried.

Due to Old Master Xie’s hospitalization, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan visited the hospital every day.

And somehow, the media got wind of Old Master Xie’s hospital stay, with some unscrupulous outlets even reporting that Old Master Xie was critically ill!
