Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Making a Move (1)_1

By the time Liu Yuxiang and the others arrived at the SH airport, it was already 5 or 6 p.m.

As soon as he got off the plane, Liu Yuxiang hurriedly hailed a taxi and got in. When the driver asked him his destination, he blanked out. Since receiving the call, he had only been worried and hadn’t thought to ask his father which hospital his mother was in.

After Liu Yuxiang hastily called his father, they then took a taxi and rushed to the hospital where Liu Yuxiang’s mother was.

"Dad, how is Mom doing?" Liu Yuxiang, upon seeing his father standing outside the ICU, quickly approached him and asked anxiously and nervously.

Meanwhile, Situ Xin noticed that in the hospital corridor, apart from Liu Yuxiang’s father Liu Guobiao, there was also a man slightly older than Liu Yuxiang, but resembling him, sitting there with a look of dejection and self-reproach on his face.

Situ Xin thought to herself that this must be Liu Yuxiang’s older brother, Liu Yubin, the elder son of the Liu family and the current head of the SH Education Bureau.

The Liu family in SH City is also a well-known clan. Liu Yuxiang’s father, Liu Guobiao, is a businessman, and a competent one at that. His family has been in the textile business for generations. Over the years, although their business was affected during the Cultural Revolution, the family enterprise flourished under Liu Guobiao’s management. Now, many of the fabrics used in Country H’s clothing and home textile industries are produced by the Liu family.

Many of the fabrics for "Xin" Clothing Company come from the Liu family, and Situ Xin had heard the name Liu Guobiao several times from her aunt Lu Juan. Therefore, Situ Xin had quite a favorable impression of Liu Yuxiang’s father, Liu Guobiao.

While Situ Xin was recalling the situation of Liu Yuxiang’s family in her mind, on the other side, Liu Yuxiang was discussing his mother’s condition with his father Liu Guobiao. "Your mother is in a very bad state right now. The doctors have already issued a critical condition notice. Ah Xiang, when you go in later, have a good talk with your mother. She’s been talking about you for a long time," said the stalwart man, his eyes reddening.

Liu Yuxiang’s parents had a strong relationship; they were a couple that had weathered many storms together. During the most difficult times of Liu Guodong, it was his wife who stood by him, unwaveringly supporting him through the lows and celebrating the highs.

"Dad," hearing this, Liu Yuxiang felt tears swirling in his eyes.

"Ah Xiang, I think we should let the young lady have a look at your mother first," Xia Yujie suggested, glancing at Liu Yuxiang.

Reminded by Xia Yujie, Liu Yuxiang remembered his master, Situ Xin. He quickly wiped his tears and walked over to her, pleading, "Master, please save my mother."

"I will do my best. Let me first go in and see your mother’s condition," Situ Xin said, being very mindful of her words in front of others. Some things should not be promised too confidently; it was about leaving oneself some leeway.

Liu Guobiao hadn’t expected his own son to call a young girl "master." "Ah Xiang, who is this?" Liu Guobiao had seen Xia Yujie before, but he had never met Situ Xin. He knew his younger son had an extraordinary master, and indeed, thanks to his son’s master, he had just salvaged a fortune from the stock market. However, he had never imagined that his son’s master would be such a young girl. He had always thought his younger son’s master was a middle-aged woman.

"Sure, Dad, this is my master. I’ll resolve the stone with you in a bit. Let’s have my master check on Mom first," Liu Yuxiang said, then explained to his father, "My master knows medicine."

Liu Yuxiang had barely finished speaking, and Liu Guobiao hadn’t had a chance to respond, when Liu Yuxiang’s older brother Liu Yubin, who had been sitting quietly like an invisible person, suddenly stood up and said, "No way. She’s so young; how could she have the skills to treat Mom’s illness?"

Hearing Liu Yubin’s words, Situ Xin didn’t respond. She raised an eyebrow and then stood to the side with Baibai in her arms. She didn’t really care; after all, she had agreed to help out of consideration for Liu Yuxiang’s face. Since someone didn’t believe in her medical skills, it saved her the trouble.

Situ Xin might not have cared, but Baibai was huffing with anger and said, "I’m so mad, I’m so mad. What kind of people are these, doubting your medical skills, Master? They’re completely blind."

"It’s alright, Baibai. Don’t be upset. It’s not worth getting angry over such things," Situ Xin soothed the fuming Baibai.

Liu Yubin’s statement changed the expressions on the faces of Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie. Xia Yujie subconsciously glanced at Situ Xin’s face and saw that she had not reacted, which eased his worries. Although he was involved with the Underworld, when it came to ruthless tactics, neither he nor Liu Yuxiang could compare to Situ Xin.

They had witnessed Situ Xin’s cold-blooded treatment of her enemies. Therefore, Xia Yujie had been scared that Liu Yubin’s words might provoke Situ Xin. If that had happened, Liu Yuxiang, the intermediary, would have been in a difficult position.

Liu Yuxiang was just about to retort his brother when, before he could speak, his father sternly reprimanded, "Liu Yubin, get out of the way, don’t obstruct my and your mother’s sight. We might as well not have had a son like you, so get lost."

"Father, I..." Liu Guobiao’s words left Liu Yubin with an expression of hurt all over his face, his eyes filled with pain as he looked at Liu Guodong.

"Dad, my brother might have spoken without thinking just now, but he was worried about Mom, and that’s why he..." Liu Yuxiang began to defend his brother when he saw how devastated he looked.

But before he could finish, his father interrupted him. "Ah Xiang, that’s enough. Don’t make excuses for your brother. He’s worse than an animal. Right now, I wish I could beat him to death with a club. If it weren’t for him, how would your mother end up lying in a hospital, sentenced to death?" By the end of his tirade, Liu Guodong was trembling with anger.

"What? Brother, he..." Liu Yuxiang was in disbelief that his mother’s illness was related to his brother.

"We’ll talk about this later. For now, let your master go in and see your mother," Liu Guodong wasn’t as shortsighted as Liu Yubin. Although he was somewhat incredulous when he first saw Liu Yuxiang calling Situ Xin "master," he had been observing her closely, and his impression was that this young girl was not simple.
