Chapter 136 Other Reactions Upon Waking
"Everything was going smoothly until who knew there was a venomous snake hiding in the cave, and then... we encountered a landslide on the way down the mountain..."
Liu Si's expression was quite different, and he spoke softer and softer. He could not tell that the elders meant him any blame before he bowed deeply and said, "I am very sorry. It was our carelessness that caused Young Master Huangfu to be so seriously injured!"
"It's not your fault. If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to this child!" The head of the Huangfu family waved his hand, his calm smile carrying a hint of tolerance.
He showed none of the decisive and domineering presence he usually displays in the business world.
He was even more kind and gentle than Liu Si's father.
"Yes, yes, how can you blame yourselves..."
Lady Huangfu had only spoken halfway when a commotion arose outside the door.
"Where? Where is my son?
"Madam, please allow me to go in and inform them, oh...?"
"What announcement? Get out of the way, son..."
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open forcefully, and a group of middle-aged men and women filed in.
But when everyone met the gaze of the Huangfu family head inside, they fell silent.
The middle-aged woman at the head of the group, Liu's mother, decisively retreated and forcefully pushed all the people behind her out.
Close the door properly.
He straightened his hair and collar, and gave the bodyguard a polite nod.
"Could you please help me inform them?"
The dozen or so members of the Huangfu family all smiled knowingly.
Liu Si, his face flushed, bowed awkwardly to the Huangfu family head: "I'm sorry, that...that's my mother. I'll go and take them away right now!"
He then prepared to run out.
Just then, the bodyguard at the door knocked and came in.
The Huangfu family head's smile remained unchanged as he waved his hand, "It's alright, quickly invite them in!"
The elders of the Liu and Lü families were crammed into the house; heaven knows how much of a shock that one glance had brought them.
Good heavens, what are these people from the news and finance doing here?
He is also the president of the World Chamber of Commerce, which truly has global reach. The Huangfu family is recognized as the world's richest family.
Even though they all lived in the capital, they had never seen the real person.
The most important person they've met so far is a branch manager sent by the Long family to negotiate a cooperation with the Lü family.
Did I offend any important person just now?
At the time, all Liu Si said was that they had encountered danger and that Lü Bu was injured and was receiving treatment here. Because they were in such a hurry, they didn't ask which ward it was.
They were using a nurse's phone. The nurse had just told them that the person who called them was here, so they rushed over without a second thought.
Oh my god, if they offend the richest man, will their two families go bankrupt?
Liu's mother moved awkwardly to Liu Si's side, first glancing at her seemingly unharmed son, then secretly pinching his arm hard, and whispering a complaint: "What are you doing, child? Why didn't you tell us about something so important beforehand?"
Do you want to ruin the Liu family?
Liu Si chuckled dryly, muttering under his own breath, "How was I supposed to know they'd come?"
The head of the Huangfu family seemed used to such scenes, but this time he didn't put on airs. Instead, he stepped forward and shook hands with Liu's father and the others: "Hello..."
Noticing that the hand he was holding was trembling violently, the Huangfu family head was somewhat amused and exasperated, and continued, "Don't be so formal. We should thank your child for saving my child."
I heard another child hurt his leg. Let's go see him together.
Lady Huangfu then greeted Liu's mother and the others, saying, "Fortunately, these children came to our aid, otherwise..."
Noticing that his voice was starting to tremble, he stopped talking.
Perhaps because she was facing the mothers of other children, everyone could empathize with her, and Madam Huangfu's pent-up emotions finally began to be released.
Just thinking about the scene the child had just described made Madam Huangfu's heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.
She injured her body when she gave birth to Huangfu Zique, and he is her only son. She can't imagine what would happen to her son if something happened to him.
what?
Liu's parents stared wide-eyed, looking at their son in astonishment. His so-called danger was just to save the eldest son of the Huangfu family.
Liu Si had never been so proud in front of his parents; he was practically strutting around with his tail held high.
Although the elderly couple from the Lü family were somewhat alarmed, they didn't have the mind to think about any sudden wealth. After quickly dealing with Madam Huangfu, they turned to the only two beds in the ward.
This sight was terrifying; it almost scared me to death.
Aunt Lü happened to be here today. She pointed blankly at the hospital bed and asked Liu Si, "Fourth Brother, this... Lü Bu, he...?"
With it bandaged up like this, is it... that his life is in danger?
"That's my son Zique over there, and this is Mu Yunfei from the Governor's Mansion. Your child is in another ward!" Madam Huangfu patted Mother Lü's shoulder reassuringly.
After all, they were in business, even if it was a small business. When they heard the news, Mr. Lü and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't show it on their faces at all.
Aunt Lü looked at the two children with concern: "My God, they're so badly injured, what happened?"
"I'll explain this to you properly later. Let's go check on Lü Bu first!" Liu Si suggested.
Mu Zhen naturally wanted to go too. Before Liu Si could even help her up, Aunt Lü and Liu's mother surrounded her on either side.
Aunt Lü's concern was genuine: "Miss Mu, don't move, I'll go get you a wheelchair."
This lucky charm can't afford to have any mishaps; her husband's family is now thriving in the capital.
Even her status in her husband's family skyrocketed, and overnight she became the biggest contributor.
Life wasn't too bad before, but which family doesn't have its share of troubles with mothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law?
Now that everything is fine, her mother-in-law practically worships her.
All these honors were brought to her by the girl in front of her, and she wanted to treat her with the utmost respect.
"I've already sent someone to push it away," Lady Huangfu stopped her.
Mu Zhen was flattered and overwhelmed. It was the first time he had been surrounded by so many aunties, and he felt inexplicably ashamed. In fact, his injuries were not that serious.
But a wheelchair is more comfortable than crutches, so I didn't refuse.
"Madam Lü, don't worry too much. The child's surgery was very successful. We will definitely give you a healthy son back." Seeing that Madam Lü was covered in sweat, Madam Huangfu felt guilty but did not forget to comfort her.
Mother Lü forced a smile, relieved that everything was alright, but the sweat on her face wasn't for her son.
The richest man's wife was still holding her hand; she was so nervous!
Regardless of what the Huangfu family head said, Lu's father and Liu's father could only nod in agreement and could not say anything.
After the group of people left, the ward fell silent again.
Mu Yunfei kept glancing at the person in the next bed with a smile.
It was as if they were afraid of missing something if they weren't careful.
I'm really looking forward to seeing their reaction when they wake up!
Everyone says that Fu Tingyu, who likes to use underhanded tricks behind people's backs, is the most cunning of the five, but only a few of them know that Huangfu Zique is actually the worst one.
He truly deserves to be the role model who loves to proclaim that good brothers should 'share weal and woe'!
They've already set an example so quickly!
According to Liu Si, this guy was only stabbed with an arrow before he lost consciousness...
