remaining illusions they had.Li Ruonan's father not only recovered his heartbeat, but his fingers also moved a few times, proving that he had regained consciousness.Under the astonished gazes of ever...Hsiao Mei-chin heard that Jiang Chuyin's father called her back, she glared at Jiang Chuyin's father fiercely and then reluctantly gave way.

Chen Ping'an and Jiang Chuyin walked into the room holding their daughter.

As soon as I stepped into Mr. Ginger's room, a strange smell hit my nose. Although it wasn't as pungent as the basement where Ginger Tongtong used to live, it was still noticeable the moment I walked in.

At a glance, one could tell that Old Mr. Ginger was bedridden and unable to take care of himself. It seemed like no one had bothered to tidy up his things in a long time.

The typical family has the man working outside and the woman taking care of the household, this is definitely Xiao Meiqin's failure.

Given that the Jiang family has servants and yet allowed the elderly person's room to smell so foul, it's not hard to tell that Xiao Meiqin intentionally made things difficult for the old person. She wouldn't let the servants clean up, taking advantage of Old Master Jiang's ability to care for himself.

However, Jiang Chuyin and Chen Ping'an didn't have time to pursue Xiao Meiqin's responsibility right now. Instead, they quickly walked to the bedside of Old Master Jiang.

In Old Master Ginger's room, besides Ginger Chūyīn's father, there was also her half-brother. However, he was playing with his phone on the side and didn't pay attention to Ginger Chūyīn and Chen Píngān's arrival. Old Master Ginger lay in bed, his face already gaunt and shriveled, with sunken eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he had exhausted all his vitality, like a lamp about to go out, ready to leave this world at any moment.

"Grandpa!"

At the sound of his grandfather's voice, Grandpa Jiang’s lifeless eyes that had been fixed on the ceiling slowly regained their spark. He turned his head with difficulty, looked at Jiang Chuyin, and then, tremblingly, extended his thin, bony hand.

Ginger Yukari quickly reached out and grabbed her grandfather's hand.

Mr. Jiang wanted to say something, his mouth opening and closing several times as if he had millions of words to say, but despite his best effort, not a single word came out.

Seeing her grandfather's labored appearance, Jiang Chuyin remembered the kindness he had shown her when she was little. Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed down her cheeks like pearls on a broken string.

Chen Pingan stepped forward and embraced Jiang Chuyin's shoulders, comforting her silently.

"Senior, please save my grandfather!"

Jiang Chuyin remembered that Chen Ping'an was a doctor and immediately turned to him, begging.

"Get up first, let me take his pulse!"

Chen Ping'an nodded and agreed.

Jiang Chun Yin obediently moved aside, making space for Chen Ping An.

Chen Pingan grasped Old Master Jiang's wrist, his expression solemn as he took his pulse. After a few minutes, Chen Pingan shook his head.

His head shake made Ginger's heart sink to the bottom of her stomach, shattering any hope she had left.

Her mother had just passed away, her body still at the funeral home, and now her grandfather was leaving too. The successive deaths of her loved ones were unbearable for her.

Xiao Meiqin, who stood behind and watched this all with cold eyes, was secretly delighted.

Although the old man has been bedridden for years, she has practically held the reins of the Jiang family. However, Old Master Jiang is still the head of the family, and as long as he doesn't die, she always feels like there's a weight on her shoulders, someone suppressing her, making her hesitate and uncomfortable in everything she does.

Once this old man dies, the Ginger family will truly be hers to control.

"Life, old age, sickness, and death are natural laws, and no one can change them at present. My grandfather is very old, and his bodily functions have severely deteriorated. I can at most extend his lifespan for another five years or so!"

As the several people in the room were feeling differently, Chen Pingan spoke up.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room fell silent.

Hsiao Mei-chin's brows furrowed, her eyes holding a sense of foreboding.

While Kagamine Rin and her father both had ecstatic expressions on their faces.

"Senior, what did you just say Can you extend my grandfather's life for five more years"

Jiang Chuyun looked at Chen Ping'an excitedly asking, she wanted to hear Chen Ping'an confirm again before she would feel at ease.

Even Ginger's dad looked at Chen Ping'an with anticipation, afraid he might have misheard what was just said.

The old man had been seen by many experts, all of whom shook their heads and told them to prepare for the worst. Only Chen Ping'an said he could save him.

Even if he could only continue for five years, he would be satisfied.

"Well, how long it can last depends on the effect of my treatment. I can guarantee it won't be less than three years!"

Chen Ping'an nodded affirmatively, giving Jiang Chuyin and her daughter a reassurance.ssive in front of ordinary people, they can only be subservient when facing second-generation officials, especially those local "princelings" like Kong Jiangshan!And you"Aren't you going to kneel down...
