Chapter: 1642

Cui Langzhong nodded glumly, let out a deep sigh, looked at Leaf, and then at his daughter Cui Qiuyi. He said seriously: "Dichen, other things can wait for the moment. If you really plan to take on Ye Family and make them pay the price, you should at least have sufficient strength."

Cui Langzhong paused briefly before speaking up: "In my opinion, your top priority is to leave Jinling and return to Yanjing to get married. Once that's settled, even if you don't officially return to Ye Family, you'll still be a member of our Cui family. And when I'm still alive, I can help you set up a foundation and make use of Cui family's resources and connections."

Lin Wanqiu listened to this and nodded without hesitation, saying: "Yes, Dichen, although you've already gotten married now, your engagement with Qiuyi was over twenty years ago, so that Shao girl can be considered having inserted herself into your original engagement."

As she spoke, Lin Wanqiu emphasized again: "Of course, I'm not blaming her; after all, she has no responsibility for this matter. I just want to say that following your parents' arrangement, you should marry Qiuyi, and as for that Shao girl, I'll prepare ten billion in compensation for her after the divorce. Absolutely won't make it difficult for you."

Leaf suddenly felt a bit awkward.

Before coming to our place, he was most worried about talking to Qiuyi's parents about the engagement.

Childhood engagements had long since passed, with many years gone by since he and Qiuyi hadn't seen each other's faces or built any emotional foundation.

If he were still single now, considering his parents' arrangements, he could cultivate feelings with Qiuyi if they got along well, and then follow their will to get married.

However, he was already a married man, and in this situation, how could he give up Shao Ru'er and turn around to be together with Qiuyi?

As Leaf remained silent, Lin Wanqiu sighed and spoke sincerely: "Dichen, your uncle's physical condition must have told you something from Qiuyi's side. Before that, we had already accompanied your uncle in treating his illness abroad for a long time, but the past two days' doctor visits showed that his condition has taken a turn for the worse, and they're urging him to continue hospital treatment, but the situation is not optimistic."

She paused briefly before continuing: "Your engagement with Qiuyi was set by all four of our parents together. Now that two of them have passed away, your uncle's physical condition also can't be sustained for too long. Your parents left early and didn't see you two children get married, so I truly hope that your uncle won't harbor the same regrets."

Qiuyi's eyes were already red-rimmed as she sat motionless, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, she's no longer that famous actress who made the whole nation and world crazy with love; now she's just a helpless little girl, making Dichen feel sorry for her.

Just then, Gu Yanzhong's body had some discomfort and coughed a few times before recovering. He then looked at Dichen sincerely and said: "Dichen, the past fifteen years you've been wandering around Jinling are like drifting on shallow water; now it's time for this dragon to return home!"

He sighed with profound regret: "Although our Gu family can't let you soar to great heights, having the Gu family as your backup will give you a sense of security. If you want to fight for control of the Ye family's assets, having the Gu family behind you will greatly increase your chances of success!"

Dichen listened with an expression that was both surprised and shocked.

He didn't expect that even though he had left the Ye family and gotten married, Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu were still hoping to fulfill their original marriage contract and marry Qiuyi, who is worth millions to them.

The more so, the stronger his regret became towards Qiuyi and the entire Gu family.

At this point, Gu Yanzhong said again: "Dichen, I was originally not prepared to go back to the hospital for treatment anymore; I've seen it all in my life, so I'm not afraid of death. What I hope is that I can live with dignity until the end. But seeing you after all these years has given me a strong desire to keep living. My greatest hope now is to see you and Shao Ru'er get married. If I could survive to see your children grow up, that would be a blessing in life and death!"

Qiuyi suddenly burst into tears, choking back her words: "Dad, don't talk like that"

Cui Yanzhong smiled slightly and said sincerely, "You know my father; he never makes things up or flatters. What I just said came from the bottom of my heart."

He looked at Lin Wanqiu and said sincerely, "Wife, call Doctor Han from Harmony Hospital and tell him that I want to start treatment and fight actively. I want to live for another day, until my daughter gets married, until I can hug my grandkids, or even if it's just worth the suffering."

Lin Wanqiu nodded vigorously at once.

In fact, she had been urging Cui Yanzhong to cooperate with the treatment all along, and even when there was only a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to give up.

But Cui Yanzhong himself had already given up, because he didn't want to suffer through various inhumane treatments just to live for another year or so. JrNovels.com
