Lu Chengsi felt truly unwell. Since his daughter was a skilled physician, he didn't refuse.
He extended his hand. Jiang Nuan cast aside all distractions and focused on taking his pulse. After a while, she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, a faint hint of killing intent flickering within them. Her suddenly cold expression projected an undeniable pressure that permeated the surroundings.
The few people present felt Jiang Nuan's seriousness.
"Chairman, are you feeling very dizzy and finding it difficult to see?" Jiang Nuan asked softly.
Lu Chengsi nodded and smiled. As expected of his daughter, she knew what was wrong with him just by taking his pulse.
Jiang Nuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Poisoned. Ba Qing. The poisoned would become like walking corpses, their bodies stiff. The most terrifying part was that they would soon lose their sight.
"Chairman, when did you start feeling dizzy and weak?"
Lu Chengsi chuckled, "Just these past couple of days. Nuannuan, it's nothing. I'm getting old; it's probably high blood pressure."
"It's not," Jiang Nuan retorted fiercely.
After shouting, she realized belatedly that she had been too agitated.
"It's not. I apologize. You should go to the hospital immediately," Jiang Nuan said, standing up and looking at him. "Let's go now."
Seeing his daughter's urgency, Lu Chengsi felt that the situation was rather serious. When he woke up this morning, the world had gone black, and he had nearly fallen.
"But aren't you going shopping?" Lu Chengsi suddenly felt that going to the hospital might make his daughter safer.
"Nuannuan, we can go now."
Jiang Nuan turned to look at the elegantly dressed Lu Qiaoyi, apologizing, "Yiyi, how about we go another day? Chairman has very high blood pressure and isn't feeling well. We need to take him to the hospital first."
"You are his daughter. You should be by the Chairman's side at this time. We can go shopping tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoyi felt her own blood pressure rising. Would Jiang Nuan discover something?
Lu Chengsi looked at his second son. "Since that's the case, Jincheng, you and Yiyi go to the company. There's a reception today that I can't attend. Someone from the Lu family must be present. Mr. Yang is our new collaborator; you must host them well."
Lu Jincheng knew his father's intentions but thought his father was being foolish. His eldest brother should be handling this; why should he, a doctor, go?
"Dad, are you dizzy and confused? Eldest Brother should be the one going for this."
Lu Chengsi seemed to realize this and nodded. "Yes, is Jinyue managing the company?"
"Yiyi, you go with your eldest brother. I'm going to the hospital; I'll be back soon."
Lu Qiaoyi was hesitant to go. Was her father trying to send her away, or... ?
She feigned anxiety. "Dad, how about I accompany you to the hospital?"
She absolutely could not let Jiang Nuan find out anything!
Besides, she wanted to spend more time with Mu Jiuchen. Su Wanting dreamed of getting into Mu Jiuchen's bed, and so did she.
Mu Jiuchen was truly captivating.
Sitting there quietly, his innate noble aura silently drew everything around him.
Lu Jinyue stood up and said, "Yiyi, come with me. Mr. Yang is bringing his daughter this time. You are both around the same age, so you'll have plenty to talk about."
Lu Qiaoyi now had no reason to refuse and could only follow Lu Jinyue.
Jiang Nuan looked at Rong Yin. "Third Young Master, you should leave first."
Rong Yin immediately bristled. "Why should I leave first? I'm also very worried about Uncle's health."
"Jiang Nuan, you can't treat me like this. My feelings for you are sincere."
"Do you know how much I miss you when I can't see you? You won't be able to send me away today. I'm telling you, you are my ideal other half. I will not give up on you," Rong Yin declared, then looked provocatively at Mu Jiuchen.
Everyone else: "..."
Jiang Nuan's face immediately turned red, feeling that Rong Yin was like a child who never grew up.
"Rong Yin, you haven't even become your ideal self yet. How can I be your ideal other half? Li Yanheng, do you remember? Last night, he played a very dangerous game with me."
"When I cooperated with you, you should have realized that your nemesis has also become my nemesis."
Rong Yin stood up abruptly, his expression as dark as water. "He is also in Modu, and he... towards you..."
Rong Yin stopped speaking. "Uncle, Auntie, I'll take my leave now."
Rong Yin hurried away.
Jiang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chairman, let's go."
Lu Chengsi stood up and looked at Lu Jincheng. "Jincheng, you come with us. Third son, you stay and take care of Grandma."
After Lu Chengsi gave his instructions, he left with Jiang Nuan.
Getting into the car, Jiang Nuan said, "You've been poisoned. We're not going to the hospital; we're going to my grandfather's. You need to be detoxified as soon as possible, otherwise, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll be blind, and it will be incurable." Jiang Nuan was fortunate she had come today; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"How can that be?" Lu Chengsi was extremely surprised.
Jin Yan was too scared to speak, looking at Lu Chengsi nervously.
Mu Jiuchen understood Jiang Nuan's intention and drove them back directly.
Lu Jincheng was very surprised; he hadn't even noticed any signs of his father being poisoned.
"Nuannuan, how did you discover Dad was poisoned?"
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered. He called her Dad.
She looked at him and said, "I started learning traditional Chinese medicine when I was about five or six years old. I'm very sensitive to medicinal ingredients. There was something wrong with the tea the Chairman was drinking."
"There was something wrong with the tea?" Lu Jincheng's face turned pale. Without thinking, he knew who had administered the poison.
"Nuannuan," Jin Yan hugged Jiang Nuan tightly. "Nuannuan, thank you! Thank you!" Jin Yan cried heartbrokenly, not knowing what to do with her grief.
Although all her children were filial, she loved her husband even more.
Whenever her husband had free time, he would always be by her side. Every year during the holidays, he would take her on trips.
In this world, she couldn't find anyone who loved her more than her husband.
"Madam, it's alright. There's still time. However, the Chairman will need to cooperate tomorrow. If my guess is correct, the other party intends to target the Lu Group," Jiang Nuan said.
Lu Chengsi lowered his head, remaining silent. After a long while, he looked at Jiang Nuan with loving eyes. "Nuannuan, you actually know everything, don't you? You are Dad's biological daughter."
Lu Chengsi thought of his father and, realizing the danger, quickly acknowledged him, not wanting to leave any regrets.
He also didn't want to leave regrets; he wanted to hear his daughter call him Dad.
Jin Yan's grip on Jiang Nuan's arm suddenly tightened.
Jiang Nuan looked at her father, her eyes reddening. She hadn't expected their reunion to happen under such circumstances. Grandfather had realized the danger and reunited with Dad, and Dad had done the same.
"Grandpa already told me," Jiang Nuan said, her voice choked with emotion.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my daughter. It's my fault. When I saw the birthmark on your back, I remembered what happened at the hospital. That's when I suspected that Lu Qiaoyi wasn't my biological daughter, and you are. I'm sorry, Nuannuan," Jin Yan cried, gasping for breath.
Jiang Nuan slowly embraced her, gently patting her back. "Mom, it's alright."
Jiang Nuan looked ahead. Lu Jincheng, sitting in the passenger seat, also turned to look at her.
The siblings shared a smile. Jiang Nuan's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted at Mu Jiuchen, "Mu Jiuchen, steer left!"
