“No, no, no. It won’t happen!”
“Dr. Chen, you must be lying to me. My grandpa won’t die!”
[Life’s Winner] staggered up from his chair.
He did not expect that his last video call more than ten days ago would be a farewell to his grandpa.
His rationality told him that Chen Yu wouldn’t lie to him.
However, his emotions did not allow him to believe that his grandpa was about to die.
After his parents passed away, his grandpa raised him with great difficulty in an old teahouse passed down from his ancestors.
His career had just improved, and he had not even had the time to show his filial piety to his grandpa. Why was his Grandpa leaving…
Looking at the heartbroken man on the screen, the chat sent messages of sympathy.
Many viewers remembered their deceased relatives and were saddened.
“Dear patient,” Chen Yu said, sighing softly. “You should book the tickets first. I’ll tell you the specific reason later.”
“My Grandpa…”
“Book the tickets first.”
“If you don’t book the tickets now,” Chen Yu said in a deep voice, “the last ticket will be snatched away.”
[Life’s Winner] slapped himself twice and forced himself to remain calm.
Following Chen Yu’s instructions, he took out his phone and booked a flight back to the country tonight.
Taking advantage of this gap, the chat sent a large number of comments.
Some people didn’t understand why the old man was lying in the hospital in the next city.
Some people speculated that the old man might really have Alzheimer’s disease, and he walked to the neighboring city in a daze.
After that, he probably encountered a car accident or something.
“Dr. Chen, I’ve already booked the tickets. Now, can you tell me why my grandpa is dying?”
“The last time 1 video-called him, other than feeling that his memory was a little bad, I didn’t find any other problems.”
“His body is still healthy.”
“Please tell me quickly!”
[Life’s Winner] was getting extremely impatient.
“Your grandpa’s didn’t get in an accident,” Chen Yu said. “He chose to end his own life.”
“What? But… why? How could it be suicide?”
[Life’s Winner]’s pupils dilated.
The chat was also shocked.
“I understand now. His grandpa must have found out about some terminal illness he has. In order not to implicate his grandson, he did this.”
“Why is he so stupid? He chose to commit suicide so as not to implicate his grandson. This will make his grandson feel guilty for the rest of his life.”
“I heard that some elderly people in the countryside will choose to give up treatment when they find out that they have a terminal illness.”
“Why did he run to the neighboring city when he chose to commit suicide?”
The chat had all sorts of guesses.
“Grandpa!!!”
[Life’s Winner] knelt on the ground and cried.
His grandpa shouldn’t have taken this path.
Even if he had to go bankrupt, he would cure his grandpa’s illness.
“Grandpa, why did you do this? You raised me up. Now that you’re old, it should be my turn to take care of you.”
“Why are you doing this…”
[Life’s Winner] shouted as he smashed his fists on the ground.
A moment later, a few foreigners in work clothes came in.
After babbling on and on, he helped [Life’s Winner] up.
“Get out, all of you!”
[Life’s Winner] pushed the foreign staff out of the tent and wiped his tears.
“Dr. Chen, my grandpa is still alive, right?”
“You have great abilities. You must have a way to treat his injuries!”
After saying that, [Life’s Winner] knelt and begged.
“Dear patient, don’t be agitated.”
“I will do my best to treat your grandpa’s injuries.”
Chen Yu comforted him after pausing for a moment.
“Your grandpa chose to commit suicide not because he was diagnosed with a terminal illness but because he was forced to a dead end.”
As soon as he said that, there was a short silence in the livestream.
“Your family’s ancestral teahouse is one of the few remaining old teahouses in your area, right?”
Although [Life’s Winner] didn’t understand why Chen Yu had changed the topic to the teahouse, he still gave an affirmative answer.
His family’s teahouse had been passed down for four generations.
It had been open for more than a hundred years.
With the development of the times, the number of customers who went to this old teahouse to drink tea decreased.
Most of the customers in the shop were elderly.
After starting his career, [Life’s Winner] advised his grandpa to close the teahouse more than once.
After the daily turnover of the teahouse was used to pay for the water, electricity, and miscellaneous expenses, there was not much left.
“My grandpa said that the teahouse is a method of living passed down from our ancestors. My family has relied on the teahouse for generations to make a living, and I was able to go to university and graduate school because of the money earned from the teahouse.”
After listening to the teahouse’s historical heritage, Chen Yu nodded. “I asked you about this teahouse’s origins because everything is related to it.”
“A few days ago, your grandpa was wronged.”
“With no one to uphold justice for him, your grandpa committed suicide to prove his innocence.”
“If he kills himself there, if someone recognizes him, they will definitely contact you.”
“You were working overseas. He didn’t want his death to interfere with your work. In the end, he chose to commit suicide in another city.”
“He took a bus to the neighboring city a hundred kilometers away and jumped from a four-story building.”
“Fortunately, there was an illegal canopy below. Your grandpa crashed into it, and the falling force was somewhat reduced. In the end, he fell to the ground.”
“Although he didn’t die, his condition is still grave.”
The chat was dumbfounded.
What sort of grievance did the old man suffer because he wanted to prove his innocence with death?
[Life’s Winner] was shocked beyond words.
His grandpa had a kind and calm personality. No matter who he was up against, he would always smile.
Her heart was even kinder than a Bodhisattva’s.
“Dr. Chen, what injustice did my grandpa suffer? Why must he die to prove his innocence?”
[Life’s Winner] asked the most crucial question.
Why did Grandpa want to commit suicide?
His grandpa had lived a happy life and had a better mentality than him.
His most common saying was that suffering was a blessing.
It was convenient for him to make things convenient for others.
“Two uninvited guests arrived at the teahouse the day after your conversation with your grandpa,” Chen Yu said.
“After the two of them finished drinking tea, they didn’t intend to pay.”
“Your grandpa didn’t take it seriously. He thought that the two of them might have encountered difficulties.”
“Something happened that made your grandpa, a good man, angry for the first time in his life.”
“It also brought about a disaster.”
Hearing this, [Life’s Winner] asked incredulously, “My grandpa got angry with someone? How is this possible?”
Ever since he was young, he had never seen his grandpa get angry.
Even if others didn’t pay for the tea, Grandpa would only smile faintly.
He had guessed more than once that his grandpa might not even know what it meant to be angry.
His grandpa, who had been a good person all his life, was the first to be angered in a situation.
Not long after, he was forced to commit suicide. What was going on?
Who were these two uninvited guests?
