Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 168 The Little One is Sick

Mrs. Huo’s expression stiffened.

Everyone in the Chu Family looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Grandma, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I still have a lot of work to handle." Yan Ting left the dining room with composure and poise.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Huo immediately wore an apologetic look as she faced the three people in front of her. "Here’s the thing, our Huo Family has a major project recently that is closely tied to a land contract in Lin Banxia’s possession, so..."

Old Mrs. Chu’s face grew long instantly, her tone tinged with displeasure. "Old sister, what are you implying? Are you saying this marriage alliance will actually be called off?"

"No, no, don’t call it off, Grandma! I don’t want it to be called off!" Chu Tingting immediately burst into tears once again.

Mrs. Huo’s expression turned troubled as she sighed. "I am, of course, very satisfied with this marriage alliance. However, my Yan Ting is very focused on his career. For him to sacrifice himself to contribute to the family business right now is indeed understandable."

"Grandma Huo, are you saying that once you get the land contract from Lin Banxia, Yan Ting will leave her?" Chu Tingting, not entirely naïve, instantly grasped the key point.

Mrs. Huo nodded firmly. "That’s right, that’s exactly what I’m saying."

"Then I’m willing to wait. I believe Yan Ting will get the land contract very soon, and when that time comes, he’ll definitely kick that woman out." Chu Tingting thought with extreme naivety.

Li Ruyue exchanged glances with her mother-in-law and saw the concern mirrored in each other’s eyes.

Mrs. Huo immediately praised Chu Tingting. "What did I say earlier? Tingting is the most forgiving and understanding child I’ve ever met; she never disappoints Grandma. Don’t worry, once we have the land contract, I’ll make sure Lin Banxia is driven out of this country."

"With Grandma’s word, I’m reassured!" Chu Tingting suppressed the grievance and sadness in her heart, forcing herself to smile.

Yan Ting went back to his home, took a shower, and then headed out, driving toward the hospital.

That little woman said she was scared to be alone in the hospital, and his thin lips couldn’t help but curve slightly.

Why is it that when he hears she’s afraid, he wants to be by her side?

Since when did this woman become capable of tugging at his heartstrings like this?

The hospital director’s office!

It was already past one in the middle of the night. Gu Qianxi, exhausted from working all day, was about to relax and rest for a while.

Suddenly, the cell phone on his desk rang. He picked it up and glanced at the screen.

It was a call from Tong Keke’s homeroom teacher.

His eyebrows twitched slightly. Could it be that this little rascal had caused trouble again at school?

"Hello, Teacher Wu!" Gu Qianxi’s voice, gentle and elegant, sounded courteous.

"Mr. Gu, I’m so sorry to bother you at such a late hour. Here’s the thing, Keke has a high fever tonight. She refuses to get an injection at the school hospital and keeps crying and fussing, saying she wants to see you. We’re helpless here. Could you perhaps..."

"I’ll be there right away!" The man’s voice suddenly deepened, his heart wholly tied to that little one who had fallen ill.

Under the night sky, a Rolls-Royce Phantom sped swiftly toward the prestigious school perched on the mountainside.

Tong Keke had been physically frail since childhood, easily getting sick even if the air conditioning was too cold at night. Her constitution was surprisingly delicate.

Ever since her parents passed away, Gu Qianxi had personally taken care of every aspect of Tong Keke’s daily life.

When he first returned home from vacation at an overseas aristocratic high school and saw Tong Keke, she was just seven or eight years old then, with a delicate and adorable face framed by two pigtails. Her pure and innocent appearance was so utterly endearing it could melt hearts.
