Jinling, villa.
The morning sun streamed into the house, and Jiang Xueyi yawned and lazily got up to make breakfast.
There was one thing that troubled him: whether or not to go to the hospital to visit his youngest daughter, Jiang Lan?
Jiang Xueyi had learned yesterday that Jiang Lan had suffered from 'food poisoning'. By all rights, as a father, he should at least go and see his daughter after she had been poisoned.
The problem was… Jiang Xueyi absolutely did not want to go!
Jiang Xueyi and his wife Xu Qin fully supported their eldest daughter Jiang Mengxin, and therefore deliberately maintained a certain distance from their younger daughter.
If he went to visit Jiang Lan and it was found out by Jiang Mengxin and Xu Qin in Modu, would he be scolded?
"It's better not to go."
"It's just food poisoning, nothing to make a fuss about."
Jiang Xueyi stretched his arms, then began to cook porridge and fry eggs, busily engaged. At that moment, his wife Xu Qin called.
He picked up the phone.
"Hello, wife, calling so early in the morning, what's the matter?"
Xu Qin on the other end of the line asked mysteriously, "I saw it in the family group chat, Jiang Lan was poisoned and sent to the hospital?"
Jiang Xueyi let out an "en."
Xu Qin asked again, "Did you go to see her?"
Jiang Xueyi replied, "Not yet. I was planning to ask your and Mengxin's permission to see if I should go to the hospital. I think, if possible, it's best not to go. This way, if our relationship becomes too close, we won't find it hard to sever ties completely later."
Xu Qin, however, said, "No, you go quickly!"
Oh?
That was strange.
Xu Qin disliked this younger daughter the most, wishing she could give Jiang Lan away to someone else. Why was she so concerned about Jiang Lan's safety now?
Something was fishy.
Jiang Xueyi asked, "Wife, your attitude is a bit strange."
Xu Qin replied, "I received information that the poison Jiang Lan ingested is not ordinary. I heard she is on the verge of death! It doesn't matter if she dies, but who will she pass Xun Rong to? According to the current organizational structure, once Jiang Lan dies, Xun Rong will fall into the hands of that scoundrel Lu Ming! How can this be?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueyi also realized the seriousness of the matter.
After recent developments, Xun Rong had reached a certain scale, even capable of rivaling the Jiang family's main branch.
How could such a large industry be handed over to an outsider like Lu Ming?
No matter how you looked at it, Jiang Lan was still a descendant of the Jiang family.
And Lu Ming was a complete outsider! Once Xun Rong fell into Lu Ming's hands, wouldn't Lu Ming become insufferably arrogant?
Jiang Xueyi said, "I understand. I'll go to the hospital now. Before Jiang Lan dies, I must secure the inheritance rights to Xun Rong! I am her father, so the inheritance rights should rightfully be mine!"
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Xueyi, without even bothering to change his clothes, grabbed his keys and ran out, rushing to the hospital.
How pathetic.
The motivation for him to visit his daughter was not familial affection, but profit!
If it weren't for the profit motive of Xun Rong, Jiang Xueyi probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital to see his daughter at all.
To behave like this, his heart was truly black.
In less than half an hour, Jiang Xueyi arrived at the hospital and specifically asked to see Jiang Lan.
The nurse asked, "What is your relation to the patient?"
Jiang Xueyi indignantly shouted, "What relation? I am Jiang Lan's biological father! I am her dad! Hurry up and let me see my daughter!"
After verifying his identity, the nurse took Jiang Xueyi directly to Jiang Lan's ward.
At this moment, Jiang Lan was alone in the ward; everyone else had been cleared out.
Jiang Xueyi rushed to the bedside in a few steps and called out loudly, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, how are you? Wake up."
The nurse said, "Jiang Lan's food poisoning is severe. She has been in a coma since she was admitted yesterday afternoon. Our hospital has provided comprehensive treatment, but we can only stabilize her condition for now. Please do not get too agitated, as it may worsen the patient's condition."
Agitated?
Jiang Xueyi sneered inwardly.
How could he not be agitated? If Jiang Lan never woke up again, who would inherit Xun Rong?
"Cough, cough." Jiang Xueyi asked with feigned concern, "Excuse me, will my daughter be able to wake up?"
The nurse shook her head, "I don't know."
When they say they don't know, it usually means she won't wake up.
Looking at Jiang Lan's appearance, her skin was purplish-black, and there were various small red spots on her body. It was clear she was not far from death.
Jiang Xueyi said, "Looking at Jiang Lan's condition, she probably doesn't have much time left. Nurse, I just want to ask, is there any way to force my daughter to wake up, even just so I can say a few last words to her?"
Jiang Xueyi wanted to take advantage of Jiang Lan's final moments of consciousness to trick her into signing an agreement, transferring the inheritance rights of Xun Rong to him.
If Jiang Lan didn't wake up, the inheritance rights would go to Lu Ming!
Wasn't that preposterous?
The nurse looked at Jiang Xueyi with a confused expression and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know about this. You should ask the chief physician. However, I can be very sure of one thing: forcing the patient to wake up will only accelerate the spread of the poison and hasten the patient's death."
That wasn't important!
Jiang Xueyi cared not whether Jiang Lan died or not; he cared about the inheritance rights of Xun Rong!
"Okay, I understand. I'll go ask the chief physician later."
"Mm." After giving her instructions, the nurse left the ward.
Jiang Xueyi stood by the hospital bed, stamping his feet in anxiety.
He said unhappily, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, why don't you open your eyes and say something to Dad? If you just leave like this, won't Xun Rong be handed over to that bastard Lu Ming? Even if you have to go, you should at least transfer the inheritance rights of Xun Rong to me before you go peacefully. What is this, sigh?"
Jiang Xueyi was agonizing.
He took out his phone and called Xu Qin, explaining the situation in detail and discussing the next course of action.
First and foremost, one thing needed to be confirmed: Lu Ming absolutely must not know about this situation!
If Lu Ming knew that Jiang Lan was poisoned and dying, the first thing he would do would be to rush back to seize Xun Rong. In terms of legal procedures, Lu Ming had a head start, and if he really fought for it, it would be difficult to handle.
Therefore, Lu Ming must not be allowed to know about the current situation!
As for the next step…
After much deliberation, Xu Qin proposed two plans.
She said, "Plan A: You first find a way to wake Jiang Lan up and force her to hand over the inheritance rights of Xun Rong to you. Once the inheritance rights are secured, it won't matter whether Jiang Lan lives or dies."
Jiang Xueyi nodded, "That's what I was thinking, but looking at Jiang Lan's condition, it's difficult."
Xu Qin continued, "There's Plan B. If Jiang Lan doesn't wake up, then you fake the procedures, fabricating a document as if Jiang Lan willingly transferred the inheritance rights to you! As soon as Jiang Lan dies, you immediately take over Xun Rong. Once it's a done deal, even if Lu Ming finds out the truth and tries to reclaim it, he won't be able to get anything."
