His Genius Wife is a Superstar

211-215

"I’m sorry," Jin Liwei said. "I didn’t take care of her."

Long Tengfei looked expressionless but Yang Jiahui knew that her husband was distraught inside. She rubbed his back, trying to comfort him.

"It’s not your fault," Long Tengfei told Jin Liwei in a stiff voice. "My daughter already had this issue before. Don’t be too hard on yourself. She’ll wake up soon. I know she will." His voice shook at the last sentence.

About an hour later, another group arrived. Grandpa Lu, Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan came together. Lu Zihao was already back by that time from his check-up, chatting with Dom and Meimei, asking them about Iris.

When Long Tengfei saw the new arrivals, he needed a double take. Of course, he recognized them! Lu Jianhong was a business legend. All serious businessmen in the country knew and looked up to him. As for the two ladies with him, they were two generations of Jin Madams.

Long Tengfei couldn’t believe that he was meeting such big-shots in his daughter’s hospital room. Then he paused, remembering that it was also in a hospital room that he was shocked by Jin Liwei claiming to be his daughter’s boyfriend.

Huang Yuyan burst into tears as soon as she saw Iris and her disheveled son. Grandma Li comforted her daughter-in-law.

"Liwei my boy, go take a shower! Your mother brought you a change of clothes. You look terrible! You’ll scare Xiulan looking like that when she wakes up. Hurry up! We also ordered breakfast." Grandpa Lu’s voice wasn’t as booming this time.

"Later," Jin Liwei mumbled, refusing to let go of his baby girl’s hand.

Grandpa Lu just sighed, not pushing him. He turned to his grandson instead. He wanted to ask his grandson a lot of questions, but decided to wait when everything was better. Now was not the right time. Instead, he said, "Haohao my boy! I brought you a change of clothes as well. Go take a shower!"

Unlike Jin Liwei, Lu Zihao looked fresh and well-rested. He looked wild and handsome as usual. Both Meimei and Dom were looking at him with sparkling eyes. If their pupils could change shape, their eyes would turn into hearts.

While Lu Zihao showered in the private bathroom, Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui greeted Grandpa Lu, Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan.

"It’s unfortunate that we’re meeting in this kind of situation," Grandma Li said, sighing. "This wasn’t how I imagined meeting Xiulan’s family. Yuyan and I were planning to invite you for dinner soon so that our two families can formally meet, yet here we are now. My heart aches for dear Xiulan. I hope she wakes up soon."

Huang Yuyan wiped the tears flowing from her eyes as she looked at her son and her comatose future daughter-in-law.

"She’ll be alright!" Grandpa Lu’s voice was determined. "If she doesn’t wake up soon, I’ll ask my doctor friends to fly over here and take a look at Xiulan. They’re leading experts in the world’s medical field. I’m sure they can figure out what’s happening to her."

Breakfast arrived and they all ate together. Everyone tried to persuade Jin Liwei to eat but he refused. In the end, it was Lu Zihao who managed to persuade him with biting words.

"Heh, so you’re gonna starve yourself? Go ahead. A weak and useless man like you can’t protect Xiulan anyway. How can a man who can’t even take care of himself take care of his woman? He can’t because he’s incompetent!"

Jin Liwei glared at Lu Zihao.

Lu Zihao just raised an eyebrow and smirked while deliberately eating his meal in slow motion.

The others just watched the brothers in silence. Grandpa Lu was surprised at his grandson’s savage words but he nodded in approval. Sometimes, being hard to one’s loved ones was the way to go.
