Chapter 843 - Is He Committing Suicide?
When she looked again, she realized that the thing that scared her was buns. Stone-cold, stiff, and moldy buns.
She took a few steps forward. Clank! This time, it was alcohol bottles instead.
“Ah Lui.” She was shocked and immediately opened the bedroom door. When she opened the door and saw what was inside, she froze.
“Ah Lui…” She trembled as she stumbled forwards towards him.
Chu Lui was on the floor, unwashed for days. He was surrounded by alcohol bottles, and the smell of alcohol was strong enough to intoxicate someone.
Chu Lui lay in the corner without moving.
“Ah Lui.” Song Wan picked up his head, only to find that he had blood on the corner of his lips. There was no color on his face. She could not move.
“Ah Lui, what’s wrong? Don’t scare Mommy.” She was anxious and terrified. She did not know what to do.
Right, call for help, call for help…
After a while, an ambulance left the building. The siren was shrill and cutting.
Inside the hospital, Song Wan sat dumbfounded. She could not find her voice.
“How is it?” Chu Jiang walked in from outside. His breathing was ragged, and there were beads of perspiration on his forehead.
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry. He’s fine.” Su Yunfei stood up to comfort Chu Jiang. Song Wan was of no use now. She couldn’t even talk. Su Yunfei was the one who signed the consent form for the operation.
She did not pity Song Wan but Chu Lui.
How did a good child come down to this? Making money was important, but how did he end up in this state? If not dealt with, he could lose his life.
“Jingtang, tell me, what’s wrong with your cousin?” Su Yunfei tugged on her son’s ears. “You’re with him every day, but you didn’t even know that something this big had happened and let him kill himself.”
“Mom, ease up on the pressure and let go of my ear.” Du Jingtang patted on his mom’s hand. He had nothing to do with this. He really had no idea. Besides, how could Chu Lui possibly have killed himself? He would not be Chu Lui if he did. Even if he wanted to kill himself, he would take a few with him… not just end himself in a state of confusion.
Su Yunfei finally let go of her son’s ear. “Speak, what’s going on?”
“Mom, I don’t know, I really don’t.” Du Jingtang rubbed his ear pitifully. He must be an adopted and unwanted child.
Chu Jiang rubbed his sore head gently. He sat down and gently patted on Song Wan’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. He’s our son; how can he be defeated so easily, right?”
“But…” Song Wan finally found her voice. “Ah Lui’s dying; my Ah Lui is dying. Did you know? He threw up blood, a lot of blood.” She stared at her hands.
“What do I do; what do I do? I only have one son. How will I continue living if I lose him?”
“You still have Chu Xiang, don’t you?” Su Yunfei did not feel like letting Song Wan off the hook. Song Wan was the one person who hurt Chu Lui the deepest. Did she not consider that her son might not want to live when she took Rainy’s kidneys?
She had a son, but did other people not? Rainy was Chu Lui’s daughter, too.
Song Wan’s body froze, and she cried out uncontrollably as she hugged Chu Jiang.
Du Bin tugged on his wife’s sleeve. “Don’t be so harsh. See, Sister’s crying already.”
Su Yunfei stood in a corner, upset.
After a while, the lights of the operating room went out; and the doctor came out.
“How is it?” Du Bin asked as he hurried forward while Chu Jiang comforted his hysterical wife.
The doctor nodded at them. “The patient has alcohol poisoning and a stomach ulcer. But it’s not serious, and the surgery is successful. He can be discharged in a few days,” he explained things quickly without a pause.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, everyone was relieved.
It was a close call. How much alcohol did he drink to have alcohol poisoning?
Chu Lui was placed in a VIP ward. Even though he was no longer the CEO of Chu Enterprise, it did not mean that he was bankrupt. Even though the Chu family’s assets were frozen, they could still afford a hospital stay.
Chu Lui woke up the next day. Du Jingtang thought he was a monster, given his rapid recovery rate. He just went through surgery, but he woke up feeling okay.
“How’s the company?” Chu Lui asked plainly as he toyed with the ring on his finger. Du Jingtang noticed it, but he dared not ask about it.
“The Min family has already taken charge of the company,” Du Jingtang said honestly. “The project has been activated. It should bring Chu Enterprise—oh, wait.” He paused as he pouted. “It should bring the Min family one level higher. Their position as the top in the business has been solidified.
“Of course, Min Guocheng will become the heir of the Min family. This time, he had done well for the Min family. Not only did he get a billion-dollar business for nothing, but he even managed to acquire the Chu Enterprise. His position as the heir is set in stone after this.
“And the shareholders are all flakes. Cousin, you’ve really spoiled them. They were all high and mighty when you were in charge. Only you can put them in their place. Now, they have no choice but to suck up to Min Guocheng in the hopes of getting some perks.
“Also.” He continued as he picked up an apple. “I’m not going either. I’m going home to Mommy. It doesn’t matter if I’m not in the position of VP. Besides…” he added as he chopped off a chunk of the apple. “I don’t think he’ll let me stay in the company. He’s bound to get rid of me one day. Rather than wait for him to kick me else, I’ll make the way out myself. It disgusts me to have to work underneath that Min fellow and see his face every day.”
