Since Jing Zhan had already said this, Leng Chuanjin, who always fulfilled his younger brother's every request, couldn't very well refuse. He had no choice but to agree. "Okay, I'll go to the Fu family with Ling Shi later."
"I'll personally convey your greetings to Grandpa and Grandma."
Fu Lingshi, standing to one side, couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, Jing Zhan's words carried weight. He had just worn out his lips trying to persuade this young master, but to no avail.
Jing Zhan had only said one sentence, and Leng Chuanjin immediately agreed. He thought ruefully that he shouldn't have wasted so much breath earlier.
"What a waste of effort."
After chatting for a while longer, Jing Zhan started to look sleepy. The two didn't dare to disturb his rest, so they left early.
They didn't notice when they left that the sleepy - eyed Jing Zhan from just now now had not a trace of tiredness on his face.
The gentleness and innocence that had been on his face when facing Leng Chuanjin and the other had also disappeared without a trace, replaced by an aura of death.
Jing Zhan would only be like this when there was no one around. He was afraid that if his relatives and friends saw him like this, they would be even more heart - broken.
Jing Zhan's eyes stared out of the window without focus. No light could penetrate from the outside; all that was left was darkness, just like himself. There seemed to be no hope in his future.
Thinking of how tired his brother had been today while staying by his side, Jing Zhan couldn't help but blame himself.
"Brother must be very tired." Even though his brother hadn't said a word, Jing Zhan had heard from his mother that his brother had gone out this time to find medicine for him.
The red bloodshot eyes around his pupils were so obvious. He wondered how many days his brother hadn't had a good rest.
"I guess brother didn't get the medicine." He knew his brother very well. If there was really a cure, his brother would definitely tell him instead of being so silent like today.
Since he had contracted this illness, Jing Zhan had already prepared himself for death. It was just a matter of sooner or later, and it didn't really matter to him.
"The result will probably be the same as before." Jing Zhan muttered to himself in the hospital ward. His tone was flat, as if not getting the medicine was just an ordinary thing to him.
Over the years, with hope rising and disappointment striking again and again, he had long since become indifferent to life and death.
Only his brother and mother were still insisting, so he could only pretend to be strong in front of them.
Jing Zhan shifted his gaze to his limbs that were as rough as tree bark. His eyes were full of disgust.
These things had already become a part of him. Even the world's top medical professors hadn't found a cure, and he, lying in bed unable to move, had no way at all.
Finally, he had no choice but to close his eyes, thinking that out of sight was out of mind.
After leaving Jing Zhan's ward, Leng Chuanjin didn't forget to emphasize to Fu Lingshi, "I can't stay at the Fu family for long. I'll leave right after visiting the two elders."
"I still have to help Jing Zhan find medicine. You'll have to help me get out then."
It wasn't that Leng Chuanjin didn't want to visit the two elders at the Fu family. It was just that every member of the Fu family was so enthusiastic. They would invite him to eat, and the two elders would always grab him to introduce potential girlfriends. They even specifically told someone to reserve a room for him so that he could stay overnight at the Fu family.
It was precisely this kind of enthusiasm that he found the hardest to handle.
Seeing the famous Leng Chuanjin being afraid of something, Fu Lingshi couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sure, sure. Don't worry about this. Leave it to me."
Seeing Fu Lingshi being so confident, Leng Chuanjin shook his head helplessly. "Forget it. I might as well rely on myself."
Although Fu Lingshi was an adopted son of the Fu family, he regarded the Fu family members as his real relatives. He was extremely filial to the elders of the Fu family.
Asking him to help block Grandpa and Grandma wasn't really realistic.
When the two of them reached the hospital entrance, Leng Chuanjin almost immediately noticed a truck parked behind Fu Lingshi's limited - edition sports car. If he wasn't mistaken, the person waiting by the truck was one of Fu Lingshi's subordinates.
The expensive sports car and the truck parked together looked so out of place.
"Ling Shi, don't tell me you're the one who arranged this truck."
Hearing Leng Chuanjin asking about his "masterpiece", Fu Lingshi looked quite proud. "Of course it's me. Let me tell you, it's full of gifts I bought for my little sister. Well, not bought, but collected."
"Gifts? A whole truckload? Fu Lingshi, aren't you being a bit too exaggerated?"
Fu Lingshi turned his head to look at the truck behind his sports car and asked thoughtfully, "Exaggerated? I was even thinking if a truckload would be a bit too little."
While Fu Lingshi was seriously thinking about whether his meeting gifts were enough, Leng Chuanjin was already too lazy to talk to him. He took a step forward and left a comment as he passed by, "You're hopeless."
Fu Lingshi wasn't happy when he heard this. "Chuanjin, how can you talk like that? I'm just giving my little sister some meeting gifts. What's wrong with that?"
Leng Chuanjin leaned lazily on the back seat and replied indifferently, "Giving meeting gifts is fine, but as far as I know, you haven't even met this little sister yet."
"Is her identity real? What does she look like? What's her character?"
Leng Chuanjin fired off three questions in a row, and Fu Lingshi couldn't answer a single one.
"Being so whole - heartedly good to someone without knowing anything about them, Fu Lingshi, don't blame me for not warning you. Be careful not to raise another ungrateful person."
"Isn't Fu Kai the best example?"
Everyone in the Fu family was nice, except for Fu Kai. He was arrogant and domineering, and he never wanted to make progress. All he knew was to idle around all day.
It would have been okay if he had just been an honest rich second - generation, but he would often snitch on Fu Lingshi in front of the two elders, which made the two elders have some complaints about Fu Lingshi.
Mentioning Fu Kai, Fu Lingshi was truly helpless. Logically speaking, Fu Kai was the legitimate heir of the Fu family, but his father was very disappointed in Fu Kai and thought he was unfit for the task, so he placed his hopes on himself.
Maybe that was why Fu Kai harbored hatred for him.
"So you'd better take my words to heart. There's no guarantee that your little sister won't be the next Fu Kai."
Fu Kai was the only son of the Fu family, so he had been doted on since childhood, especially by the two elders. They never refused any of his requests, which was why he had become such a good - for - nothing.
Just looking at the way Fu Lingshi was giving the meeting gifts today, Leng Chuanjin could easily guess how the other members of the Fu family would treat this little miss.
"Chuanjin, you know the daughters of the Fu family. They're all the pride of the Fu family."
"This little sister shouldn't be bad. If she really goes astray, it can only mean that I, as the elder brother, haven't done my duty."
