All in all, because of this matter, the Shu family was still greatly affected.
Although it would not shake their foundation, they would still lose a lot of benefits.
And as the instigator of this matter, Shu Yaqi was naturally even more out of favor. For the past few days, no one had been nice to her at home. As for her, even if she felt depressed at home, she did not dare to go out.
At the birthday banquet, many people witnessed how she knelt down to apologize to Ye Leng’an and slapped herself three times. Especially her friends, all of whom had witnessed her humiliating moment. She was afraid that she would have to face those people’s strange gaze the moment she went out. Therefore, even if everyone in the family was cold to her she had always stayed at home.
On the other hand, Shu Mei’er’s status in the Shu Family had risen quite a bit because of Shu Yaqi’s matter. Her father’s attitude towards her was much better. Now, Shu Yaqi could be said to be finished, so she could be said to be the only daughter of her father who could be married off.
Seeing Shu Mei’er’s triumphant appearance, whether it was Shu Hui’s first wife or Shu Yaqi, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred. However, they didn’t dare to do anything, so they could only let her be complacent for a few days.
The Shu family’s business was affected, and Old Master Shu’s health was also affected.
On the second day after the birthday banquet, Shu Hui tried his best to persuade Old Master Shu to go for a physical examination.
Originally, because of Ye Leng’an’s words at the birthday banquet, Old Master Shu felt upset in his heart, and was unwilling to go no matter how hard anyone persuaded him. However, Shu Hui persuaded him to prioritize his health. Moreover, if the physical exam really showed no problems at all, it could be spread that Ye Leng’an was just talking nonsense.
In the end, Old Master Shu still went to the hospital for a physical examination.
The result showed there really was a problem. A tumor was found in Old Master Shu’s brain. In the worst-case scenario, after a check-up, it was found to be malignant and had to be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, it could erupt at any time and endanger his life.
Originally, he just needed to arrange for the surgery as soon as possible. The Shu family had plenty of money. They could definitely let Old Master Shu receive the best treatment. However, the location of Old Master Shu’s tumor was too tricky. It was near the nerve center, and a part of it was even close to the nerve center. It was not that easy to remove the tumor. The doctors in the hospital were not very confident.
Old Master Shu was already hospitalized for observation.
At this moment, Old Master Shu’s three sons were in the study room of the Shu family mansion, discussing Old Master Shu’s matter.
“What did the doctor say?” The second son, Shu Huang, said, “Can we get an expert from overseas to come over and operate on Father?”
“I’ve already contacted the brain tumor specialist there and sent my father’s medical case over.” Shu Hui rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said helplessly, “Their opinion is the same as the hospital’s. The success rate of this surgery is less than 20%.”
The room fell silent again.
“What should we do now?” The third son Shu Yao looked depressed. “So many things have happened at home recently, and now there’s a problem on Father’s side. If this continues, our Shu family will really decline.”
The current Shu family couldn’t afford to lose Old Master Shu. Old Master Shu was like a pillar that stabilized the Shu family. Moreover, with Old Master Shu around, the other families would give him some face. However, if Old Master Shu died, it would be hard to say. After all, favors were something that needed someone to fulfill.
“Actually, there is still a way.”
After a long silence, Shu Hui spoke again, “Do you still remember who was the one who first said that there was a problem with my father’s body?”
As soon as he said this, Shu Huang and Shu Yao immediately understood what he meant.
They weren’t there when the incident at the birthday banquet happened. That day, because the company had an important cooperation project with substantial interests involved. Therefore, they had to settle the company’s matters before going over that day. Later on, they only learned about that matter from their wives and children and didn’t know the details.
However, this didn’t stop them from feeling hatred and disgust towards Ye
Leng’an. Although Shu Yaqi was at fault in the first place, if it were not for
Leng’an’s coercion that night, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. After that, their Shu family would not have suffered such setbacks because of this..
