Pampered by the Rich: Wife Smashes Him on the Head

Chapter 267 Lu Kai is Sick

Chapter 267 Lu Kai is Sick

"Xu Rushi, you're the one who's sick in the head." Lu Qianqian frowned, looking at her unhappily. "My father isn't even dead yet, and you're already eyeing his property and trying to harm his children. You really have the audacity to do that!"

"Hahaha, your father isn't dead yet, but he's practically on his deathbed," Xu Ru said fiercely. "If you don't cooperate with me today, then one day you'll just have to watch as someone else steals what was rightfully yours!"

After saying that, he angrily prepared to leave.

Lu Qianqian stopped her: "What do you mean by that? What happened to my dad?"

"What's wrong with your dad? Don't you know you should go back and see him?" Xu Rushi pushed Lu Qianqian away and stormed off.

Lu Qianqian sensed something else in Xu Rushi's words, immediately picked up the phone and called Rong Changqing, then hurriedly drove towards the Lu residence.

……

Half an hour later, Lu Qianqian parked her car outside the Lu residence. Rong Changqing was already standing in front of the car waiting for her. "What happened?"

Lu Qianqian ran up to Rong Changqing and took his hand. "I saw Xu Rushi today. From what she said, I learned that my father seems to be dying."

"Hmm?" Rong Changqing asked in confusion, "It's not working anymore?"

When I saw them before, they were both fine.

"Yes, this is so sudden. I didn't know the specifics, so I rushed back to check." Lu Qianqian took his hand and led him inside. "I hope I didn't interfere with your work."

"No, not at all." Rong Changqing took her hand in return and led her into the house. "How can you say that your affairs have been delayed?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqian smiled knowingly.

Reaching the gate, Lu Qianqian pressed the doorbell. Soon, the nanny came out to open the door. Upon seeing Lu Qianqian, she was quite surprised: "Miss is back today?"

"Yes!" Lu Qianqian nodded, glanced into the room, and asked, "Where's my dad?"

"Mr. Lu is upstairs," the nanny replied cautiously. "Miss, Mr. Lu's condition is not good right now."

Lu Qianqian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Sigh." The nanny sighed and said, "Illness strikes like a landslide. Mr. Lu was feeling unwell a while ago and went to the hospital for a checkup. The results showed that he had liver cancer, and it was already in the late stage."

"What?" Lu Qianqian was taken aback. "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

“Miss, Mr. Lu is ill, and his wife is in charge. We, as servants, naturally cannot say too much.” The nanny sighed and lowered her head. “Miss, you are so filial. Please go upstairs and see Mr. Lu.”

"Qianqian, let's go." Rong Changqing said softly to her, looking down. "Let's go up and check the situation first."

He could feel the trembling from Lu Qianqian's fingertips. Kind as she was, even though Lu Kai had treated her that way before, she was still worried about him and her heart was in turmoil.

Lu Qianqian tried her best to hide her emotions, looked up at Rong Changqing, and nodded: "Okay, my father's room is on the third floor, let's go up."

"it is good."

Along the way, Rong Changqing held her hand and led the way.

Lu Qianqian didn't know what her emotions were at that moment—was it sadness, grief, or...?

Lu Qianqian froze completely when she saw Lu Kai.

Lu Kai was originally sturdy and had a large belly.

But now he's so thin he's unrecognizable. She's only not seen him for a month or two, how did he become like this?

"Qian, Qian?" Lu Kai's weak voice came from inside the room. He was quite surprised to see that it was Lu Qianqian.

"Qianqian." Rong Changqing lowered his head and whispered her name in Lu Qianqian's ear.

"Huh?" Lu Qianqian suddenly came to her senses and looked at him.

Rong Changqing held her hand tightly and said softly, "Your father is calling you."

Lu Qianqian immediately looked at Lu Kai.

Lu Kai hurriedly sat up from the bed because of her arrival, but he had little strength and it was very difficult for him.

Lu Qianqian saw this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly walked to his bedside.

Lu Kai used all his strength to sit up against the bed, still a little out of breath as he spoke: "Qianqian, what brings you here?"

Lu Qianqian frowned even more deeply; she hadn't seen Lu Kai smile at her so sincerely in a long time.

In a daze, Lu Kai reached out his hands, with their distinct bones and aged skin, and grasped hers: "Qianqian, I feel like it's been so long since I've seen you!"

Lu Qianqian was speechless, but she couldn't remain silent either. She took a deep breath and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"No, this, I..." Lu Kai stammered for a moment, then finally smiled helplessly, "Xu Rushi took my phone!"

He was locked up here, unable to do anything, and all he could do was wait to die.

Lu Qianqian had a somber expression. She had been so busy with those matters recently that she hadn't been able to manage the company's affairs, so she was naturally unaware of the current situation of the Lu Group, let alone Lu Kai's situation.

She felt terrible, as if all the hatred she had felt before had vanished, and the man in front of her was just her father who had given birth to her and raised her.

This is what they mean by blood being thicker than water.

"Why not go to the hospital?" Lu Qianqian smelled the strange odor filling the room, like the stench of a dead rat rotting, mixed with the smell of medicine.

She glanced down at the medicine on the bedside table, picked it up and took a closer look; it turned out to be just painkillers.

"She said that my illness is incurable, so I might as well save the money to buy a burial plot... cough cough cough..." Lu Kai said with a sorrowful expression, his eyes filled with despair.

Lu Qianqian felt uncomfortable looking at him.

Suddenly, Lu Kai, with a strength he didn't know he possessed, gripped Lu Qianqian's hand tightly and pleaded, "Qianqian, that woman knows about your brother. She said she's going to destroy him. Qianqian, you have to save your brother! He's the only bloodline of our Lu family, Qianqian..."

Lu Qianqian was immediately shocked. The person who had difficulty even getting out of bed suddenly seemed to come back to life when she mentioned Lu Xingchen.

How important is this son to him?

Seeing that Lu Qianqian didn't speak, Lu Kai became even more anxious: "Qianqian, Dad knows he was wrong before and hurt you, but Xingchen is your only brother, and he's the root of our Lu family. Please, please save him. The Lu Corporation is all yours now, and I'll give you all my remaining personal assets. Please!"

"Stop talking." Lu Qianqian really didn't know how she felt. "I'll take you to the hospital first."

"A hospital?" Lu Kai was somewhat surprised. His wife, who had been with him for so many years, had given up on treating him, but his daughter, whom he had always neglected, was willing to take him to the hospital.
