Chapter 5: Dad, the porridge is going to get cold.

"Dad..." Shen Modi immediately took a tissue to wipe the bloodstains from her father's mouth. The bloodstains spread instantly, staining the entire tissue red.

Her heart ached, and she quickly took the medicine. Her hands trembled as she opened the bottle cap: "Dad, take the medicine. You'll get better after taking the medicine. I'll call Mingze over. I'll ask him to come over."

Her younger brother, Xiaoguang, with red - rimmed eyes, quickly brought over a glass of water.

Shen Modi gave her father the medicine and then hurriedly dialed Huo Mingze's number.

She was originally worried that it was too early and the other party might have turned off their phone or not answer.

Unexpectedly, the call was connected immediately.

"Huo... Mingze, are you free now? My dad... he's not in good condition and wants to see you now." Shen Modi tried hard to keep herself calm, but her voice carried a heavy nasal tone.

She knew this request was very presumptuous, but she wanted to ease her father's mind.

"Yes, I'm free. I'll come over now. Wait for me!" Huo Mingze said and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Take care of yourself first so that you have the energy to take care of your family."

"Yes, I've called an ambulance. It should arrive soon. Let's go to the city hospital." Shen Modi said.

We have to go to the hospital. No matter what, Dad has to go to the hospital.

"Okay, wait for me." Huo Mingze replied and hung up the phone.

At this moment, he was in the study, having an overseas video conference on the computer.

It had nothing to do with the Huo Group; it was his overseas business.

They were making final preparations for the base station construction of the bid - winning D - country Ruwei chip area.

Huo Mingze stood up and said to Mai, "You discuss. I have something to deal with."

The executive president, He Yichen, urgently said, "Boss, the final round of bidding for this project will start this morning. If we don't discuss thoroughly, we may easily lose the project."

"Then it's fate." Huo Mingze said.

He Yichen helplessly reminded, "Boss, this project has at least 700 million in profit."

"Your discussion." Huo Mingze directly turned off the camera after saying that.

He made a phone call to his assistant: "Shen Modi's father is seriously ill. She called an ambulance from the city hospital. You make a call to urge them to come quickly. Also, please invite a specialist from the oncology department for a consultation. Don't let Shen Modi know that someone is helping her."

...

Overseas.

He Yichen, Ke Yuchuan, and several others turned off their cameras, and their expressions didn't look good.

They were not worried about the project, but about Huo Mingze.

In front of outsiders, they would respectfully call Huo Mingze "Boss." Privately, they were sworn brothers.

He Yichen looked worried: "What do you think it could be?"

Ke Yuchuan: "What else could it be? Didn't you hear the boss say on the phone that he was waiting for someone? With the boss's love - struck brain, he must be planning to fly to H - country to find Yao Yutong."

He Yichen: "Why can't the boss see it clearly? Yao Yutong is the most materialistic woman in the world."

Mu Sen: "The bystander sees clearly, while the player is lost. After all, they have been dating for six years."

Li Yuan Community.

The siren of the ambulance wailed as it drove out of Li Yuan Community and headed for the city hospital.

In the end, Shen Weiguo couldn't bear to see his daughter crying and agreed to go to the hospital.

The doctor had already given Shen Weiguo an IV drip, but his face was still very pale.

Sitting in the ambulance, Shen Modi quickly sent a WeChat message to Huo Mingze: My father's condition is not good. I told him that you are my colleague, that we have known each other for two years, that we have feelings for each other, and that we are planning to get married. Please help me deceive him. Please!

Huo Mingze replied: Okay!

...

Huo Mingze drove a Chevrolet to the city hospital. Thinking that Shen Modi called him very early and might not have had breakfast, he bought several breakfasts on the way.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, Shen Weiguo had already been admitted to the ward.

Afraid that Shen Modi would overthink, Lu's assistant arranged for an ordinary ward.

The nurse had already drawn blood from Shen Weiguo and told Shen Modi that the hospital would routinely arrange for expert consultations.

Knowing that there would be an expert consultation, Shen Modi felt very lucky. She told her father that with the expert consultation, he would definitely get better.

Shen Weiguo was still on an IV drip, and his face was still pale.

Seeing Huo Mingze, Shen Modi immediately stood up, feeling a bit uneasy, hesitating to speak.

Huo Mingze gave her a reassuring look.

Shen Modi nodded, then pretended to be very familiar and called out, "Mingze, you're here."

Hearing his daughter's call, Shen Weiguo instantly opened his eyes, and his spirit seemed significantly better than before.

He struggled to sit up.

Shen Xiaoguang immediately supported him.

Huo Mingze quickly put down the breakfast and walked over: "Uncle, you lie down, just lie down."

"Okay, okay..." Shen Weiguo just moved a little, and his breathing became a bit rapid.

He leaned against the headboard, gasped for breath, and looked at Huo Mingze.

At first glance, he felt that this young man was very handsome and a perfect match for Xiao Di.

Dressed in a suit, he looked very spirited.

His temperament was also good, just like that of Xiao Di's.

He reached out to Huo Mingze.

Huo Mingze immediately grasped Shen Weiguo's hand.

It was a pair of bony hands, bearing the ravages of life and illness.

"Uncle, I should have come to see you earlier..." Huo Mingze said.

Shen Modi was afraid of being exposed, and immediately said, "Dad, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not letting him come."

"I understand," Shen Weiguo said. He understood Shen Modi very well.

He knew Shen Modi, because she had been hurt before, so she would not trouble others if she was not sure about things.

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I came in a hurry and came empty - handed," Huo Mingze said.

"It's okay..." Shen Weiguo looked at Huo Mingze with the eyes of looking at a son - in - law. He asked, "Xiao Huo, how long have you known my Xiao Di?" Although he felt that the young man in front of him was a good match for Xiao Di, he was still afraid that Xiao Di made it up to comfort him.

"Uncle, we have known each other for two years. Uncle, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's have breakfast while we talk," Huo Mingze said.

Shen Modi thought that Huo Mingze was afraid of being exposed, and immediately echoed, "Yes, Dad. Let's have breakfast first."

She quickly went to get the breakfast.

Xiaoguang pushed the small dining table over, and Shen Modi placed the breakfast on it.

Shen Weiguo had no appetite at all. He felt that he didn't have much time left.

He always wanted to ask a few more questions, so he asked again: "Xiao Huo, are you also a jewelry designer?"

Huo Mingze immediately replied: "No, uncle. I'm in business."

"Oh, business... Business is good... Do you have much contact with Xiao Di at work?"

"Uncle, we have quite a lot of contact."

"Then do you know my Xiao Di well?"

Hearing her father's words, Shen Modi felt a little flustered inside. Afraid of being exposed, afraid of making her father sad.

She said: "Dad, the porridge is just the right temperature. Let me feed you."

Shen Weiguo shook his head: "Dad doesn't want to eat... not hungry."

He looked at Huo Mingze again.

Huo Mingze looked serious and said: "I have known Modi for over two years, so I know her quite well. She is a person full of enthusiasm for life and kind - hearted. She is tenacious, brave, intelligent, and focused..."

Shen Weiguo asked again: "Have you two had meals together... watched movies?"

"Yes, we often have lunch together." Huo Mingze had seen Shen Modi's information. Before her father was hospitalized, she worked very hard and always had work meals in the company cafeteria.

"Then do you know what Xiao Di likes to eat?" Shen Weiguo asked again.

Shen Modi quickly interrupted: "Dad, the porridge is going to get cold."
