Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Arranging Affairs for After Death

Yan Hong said the old lady was sick, now she couldn’t even get out of bed.

Yan Qianyi arrived at the Yan Family residence, and Yan Hong was waiting for her at the gate of the villa’s courtyard.

"Baby, I didn’t delay your affairs, did I?" Yan Hong asked.

Now, Yan Hong’s attitude towards Yan Qianyi was extremely favorable.

But Yan Qianyi still met him with a cold gaze.

"She’s so ill she can’t leave her bed, and you’re just telling me now?"

"I only found out today myself. I’ve been away on a business trip these past few days. I just got home this morning, and immediately contacted you after I learned about Grandma’s condition."

What Yan Hong said was all true.

He was desperate for any chance to have more contact with Yan Qianyi, dreaming of winning back his daughter.

Old Lady Yan’s illness was an opportunity for him.

Yan Qianyi strode inside and asked Yan Hong, "Has she been to the hospital? What did the doctors say?"

"Yarong said they went, but the doctors haven’t found the problem. They’re saying... there’s no hope left, and that we should prepare for the worst."

Yan Qianyi’s steps faltered, stopping right at the entrance to the living room.

Han Yarong and Yan Ruyi were inside.

Yan Qianyi said, "I will take Grandma to my place for treatment."

Yan Hong quickly nodded, "Of course, that’s fine if you have that filial piety. But I’m worried about Grandma’s condition—if she can handle the move, and I don’t want to trouble or delay you."

"That’s settled then," Yan Qianyi said no more and continued upstairs with brisk steps.

Yan Hong was about to follow her but was stopped by Yan Ruyi.

"Dad." Yan Ruyi stepped forward, glanced at the staircase to make sure Yan Qianyi was upstairs, then whispered to Yan Hong, "You can’t let Qianyi take Grandma away."

"Why not?"

"Qianyi has the medical secret recipe. She should be able to save Grandma. Just let her treat Grandma here, and then we can get the secret recipe from her."

Yan Hong was surprised—it was true!

"Ruyi, you’ve really grown up, thinking things through so completely. Dad hadn’t thought of this."

Yan Ruyi smiled sweetly, "I’ve always wanted to share your worries and solve your problems. I was too young before to understand, but in the future, I will become the most reliable support for you, Dad!"

Yan Hong nodded in satisfaction, pondered for a moment, then said, "But... Qianyi wants to take Grandma away, and I don’t feel it’s right to stop her."

"What’s so difficult about stopping her?" Han Yarong sneered coldly, "She’s no longer a part of the Yan Family now, she has no right to take Grandma away."

Yan Hong said with difficulty, "That’s true, but her nature has always been obstinate. If I oppose her, I’ll provoke her anger again. And now she also has the backing of Mu Yunlie."

He truly didn’t dare to casually offend Yan Qianyi now.

Han Yarong laughed scornfully, "What backing does Mu Yunlie have? Isn’t he just a teacher at the Federation Military Academy and a friend of Vice Officer Pei? If he was so powerful, would he let his own grandmother live in that shabby nursing home? Even if you comply with her now, do you think that will make her forgive you?"

Yan Hong frowned.

Indeed, Qianyi didn’t care about their father-daughter relationship at all anymore.

Yan Ruyi said, "Dad, as long as we get the medical secret recipe from Qianyi, the Yan Pharmaceutical Group will recover. After that, you won’t have to worry about Qianyi and Mu Yunlie’s influence over you."

These words stirred Yan Hong.

He didn’t want to be at the mercy of Yan Qianyi’s moods anymore.

He still remembered the humiliation of being thrown out by Vice Officer Pei’s men.

Yan Hong nodded, "Alright then, don’t let him take Grandma away, I’ll go upstairs and take a look first."

After Yan Hong went upstairs, Han Yarong pulled Yan Ruyi to one side and asked anxiously, "Are you sure this is okay?"

"What could possibly be wrong?"

"If Yan Qianyi finds out about us secretly medicating the old woman..."

"Don’t worry, even the hospital’s doctors and machines can’t detect it, so she won’t either. Her medical skill isn’t that great; it’s all just relying on her mother’s medical secret recipe."

Han Yarong breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s true."

Yan Ruyi asked, "Is the surveillance installed in Grandma’s room?"

"Yes, it’s all set up, very clear. We will definitely be able to see exactly how Yan Qianyi treats the old woman."

"That’s good. Let’s also go upstairs and take a look. I’m afraid my father will cave into Yan Qianyi after a few words and agree to let her take Grandma away."

When Yan Qianyi entered Old Lady Yan’s bedroom, she saw a nurse standing by and Old Lady Yan sleeping.

"What exactly is wrong with my grandmother?" Yan Qianyi asked the nurse softly, "Show me the medical reports."

The nurse handed over a stack of reports, "Lady Yan, we can’t find anything wrong with the Old Madam’s body at the moment, preliminarily diagnosed as organ failure, maybe due to old age."

Yan Qianyi put down the pile of useless reports and sneered, "Old age?"

The average human lifespan now can reach 120 years, living to 150 is not surprising.

Old Madam is only eighty years old, which doesn’t even count as a ripe old age. How can there be talk of organ failure?

And Old Madam usually is full of life, with no health problems in her annual physical, and when she gets angry, she’s even more spirited.

Last time we went to meet Mu Yunlie’s grandparents together, Old Madam even dolled up like a little girl, full of vigor and energy.

How could her organs suddenly fail?

Quacks!

No wonder the Yan family’s hospital isn’t doing well now.

"You may leave," Yan Qianyi told the nurse.

Then she sat in the chair by the bed and took Old Madam’s pulse.

Old Madam’s pulse was very weak, she couldn’t determine the specific reason, but she could feel that the immune defense system inside her was under attack and had been compromised.

At that moment, Old Lady Yan slowly opened her eyes, and seeing Yan Qianyi by the bed, she showed a weak but tender smile, "You came..."

Then she looked over Yan Qianyi’s shoulder, "Ah Lie didn’t come?"

"Ah Lie is busy with something."

Old Lady Yan shook her head and said in a faint voice, "Don’t comfort me, I know... that couple from the Nangong Family must be against you two being together... ah... it’s Grandma who has wronged you."

"Grandma, let’s not talk about this for now. Have you eaten anything unusual lately?"

"Anything unusual?"

"Something you rarely eat."

"No... I’ve been at home recently, eating the same food from the kitchen as always, no different from before."

A hint of coldness flashed in Yan Qianyi’s eyes.

If Grandma had not eaten anything wrong, then the only possibility was that someone had tampered with her usual meals.

Old Lady Yan closed her eyes again weakly, "I probably won’t last much longer... If I could just see Nangong Jie one last time before I go, that would be... enough for this lifetime."

Yan Qianyi comforted her, "Grandma, don’t think like that, I will make you better. Later, there will be plenty of chances to see Nangong Jie, and I will take you to my place right now."

Suddenly, Yan Hong’s voice came from behind, "Qianyi, let’s keep Grandma here."
