"Out of the four of us, Rong Bin was the last one who would have committed suicide. Maybe... he was pushed."
"But now that he’s intellectually disabled, the truth of what happened that day..."
Suddenly, the uncle exclaimed over the phone, "Hey, Feifan, you’re a really amazing doctor now."
"Rong Bin’s condition... could you take a look at him, or maybe get a brain specialist to examine him...?"
Yan Ziruo cut in bluntly, "Uncle, you’ve had no relationship with them for years."
"Just worry about yourself and stop meddling in other people’s business."
"If Rong Bin’s condition was treatable, his parents and family wouldn’t have just stood by and watched."
Yan Ziruo pressed him, "Uncle, are you sure you don’t have any other motives for contacting them?"
Her uncle replied earnestly over the phone, "Ruoruo, I really don’t. I just wanted to know how they were doing."
"Rong Bin’s situation really shocked me, which is why I asked Xia to go see him for me."
"I just didn’t expect that woman, Xia..."
"Uncle..."
Yan Ziruo cut him off again. "If you manage to win Mrs. Xia over, it’ll be the blessing of several lifetimes."
"As for this matter, Mrs. Xia only told us because she’s concerned about you."
"Also, Uncle, now that you’re coming back, both Feifan and I hope you can live a stable life."
"If your old ways resurface and you pick up your bad habits again, you’ll no longer be our uncle."
"Uncle, as far as Feifan and I are concerned, you don’t get another chance to mess up. You’d best be on your best behavior."
With that, Yan Ziruo hung up before her uncle could respond...
Seeing Yan Ziruo return to the master bedroom with a dark expression, Yu Suye asked in a low voice, "Feifan, your sister really holds a grudge against your uncle, doesn’t she?"
Yan Feifan sighed softly. "He single-handedly gambled away a family fortune of twenty to thirty million yuan. Wouldn’t you say she has a right to be?"
"But, our uncle was always pretty good to us."
"Back then, if he hadn’t insisted, our grandpa and grandma would have sold the apartment that was in our names, too."
Saying this, Yan Feifan’s mood grew heavy as well.
’The past is too painful to look back on.’
Yu Suye reached out and hugged Yan Feifan, comforting him. "It’s all in the past. You and your sister are doing well now, and things will only get better."
"You must be tired after a full day of surgeries."
"Let’s go to bed..."
Yan Feifan grunted in agreement and got up to go back to his own bedroom. There, he saw the notification light blinking on the phone he’d left on his desk.
He opened his phone and saw messages from Lu Yao and his uncle.
Yan Feifan opened his uncle’s message first.
"Feifan, please try to convince your sister for me. I’ve really changed my ways. I truly don’t have any other intentions."
"Feifan, about Rong Bin..."
"If it’s convenient for you, please help take a look at him. Seeing him like this... it’s tearing me up inside."
Then, Yan Feifan opened the message from Lu Yao.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Zhou Yan would like to discuss something with you. If it’s convenient, please visit his hospital room tomorrow..."
