War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 255: Stunning

Gu Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you guys find a hotel."

"Yes."

Gu Yan sat up straight, opened the car window, and the wind blew in, clearing her mind a little.

She looked at the scenery speeding past outside the window, her eyes a bit dazed.

She wasn’t sure how Old Sir Tang’s health was right now, whether he had woken up, and if Tang Yuxiu should have hurried back by now. But did he take a proper rest?

Gu Yan thought, he probably wouldn’t. He always believed that his body was as strong as iron. Now that Old Sir Tang had an incident, he would likely still personally manage the company’s affairs, so busy and worried. How could he endure it?

As Gu Yan thought, Tang Yuxiu and Tang Mubei stayed at the hospital, neither returning nor resting.

Tang Mubei was relatively okay; he only kept watch in the ward for two days. Tang Yuxiu had driven for two days to rush back, barely closing his eyes. The bluish shadows under his eyes were evident, yet he still insisted on staying without resting.

Even Tang Mubei couldn’t stand it anymore and forcefully required him to go back to sleep.

"Big brother, what you’re doing isn’t sustainable. You have to go to the company tomorrow. There’s a lot to handle lately, and everything needs you. If your body gives way, what will happen to the Tang Family?"

Tang Yuxiu frowned, "You also said there are many things recently. Even if I go back, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I might as well stay here and watch."

Old Sir Tang’s seven days are crucial. Three days have already passed, and the following four days can’t be relaxed even for a moment.

With everything coinciding, Tang Yuxiu had no mind to sleep.

Moreover, he was worried about Gu Yan, feeling very irritable in his heart. Even though he hadn’t slept in two days, he didn’t feel sleepy.

In short, it was his consciousness that was keeping him going strong.

Tang Mubei sighed, "Suit yourself then. Since that’s the case, you keep watch, and I’ll go rest."

Tang Yuxiu, "..." Wasn’t that your true intention, really!

Tang Yuxiu helplessly waved his hand, "Go, go, don’t get in my way here."

Second Young Master Tang lightly floated away indeed.

Tang Yuxiu was left alone in the ward, starting to regret how he didn’t just follow his brother’s words and leave. Now his brother got the benefit and played it cool.

In the ward, Old Sir Tang was breathing heavily. Tang Yuxiu sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed outside the window, and just sat like that the whole night.

The next day, Tang Mubei came to replace him. He directly went to the company without even having breakfast.

As soon as he got to the company, he began working.

You Shuyang had already organized the company’s affairs from the past few days and placed them in his office, along with the collected information on emerging companies.

Looking at Tang Yuxiu’s exhausted appearance, You Shuyang couldn’t help but advise, "President, you haven’t slept for three days. Your body won’t bear it. Rest for a day first and work tomorrow."

"It’s fine." Tang Yuxiu bypassed him and went directly into the office.

You Shuyang followed him, continuing to persuade, "Why not rest a while in the adjoining rest room?"

"I said it’s fine, Shuyang. You’ve known me for so long. Do you think I’m such a stubborn person?"

No. You Shuyang silently answered in his heart and decided not to speak further.

Tang Yuxiu indeed wasn’t a stubborn person, but he also wasn’t someone who could be in high spirits after three days without sleep. He was just consciously overwhelmed by the many events happening now, and with Gu Yan waiting for him at Mei River, he was eager to swiftly handle everything.

Only because of his stringent self-demand, the immense pressure, did he not feel any fatigue and just focused on handling as many things as possible quickly.

"Go and work."

"Yes, President."

You Shuyang glanced at him again. He had already picked up the top file and started reading. You Shuyang sighed silently and exited the office.

Tang Yuxiu spent the whole morning buried in paperwork, taking short breaks to pinch the bridge of his nose and close his eyes when he was too tired, before continuing to read.

At noon, You Shuyang brought him some takeout, which he placed aside, continuing to review the files. So engrossed, he even forgot to eat until it went cold, not noticing the lunchbox sitting beside him.

At the end of the workday, You Shuyang came in, noticed the cold lunchbox, and paused, "President, the workday is over, and you didn’t eat at noon. Stop for now, eat something, and go to the hospital to see the old chairman."

Only then did Tang Yuxiu lift his head from the files, seeing You Shuyang standing across from him, then glancing at the lunchbox, "When did you bring me takeout?"

You Shuyang, "..."

"President, you can’t push yourself so hard. The old chairman is still in the hospital, Miss Gu hasn’t returned, and Second Young Master can’t handle everything on his own. They all need you, so does the company. If you push yourself too hard, don’t rest, and even forget to eat, what if you collapse?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to me. I know my body very well and understand my limits clearly."

"President, you weren’t someone who would push himself unnecessarily before, but now you are."

Persistent, You Shuyang kept at it. Tang Yuxiu glanced at the file again, lost his focus, and closed the file, raising his head, "Assistant You, you’ve become quite talkative."

"Just a bit more. Besides, I’m not doing this for you, President, but for all the employees of the company."

"Assistant You is very admirable."

"Not really. After all, I work here too, right? If the President collapses, all the burdens will fall on me, the all-purpose assistant. If I can’t manage, I’ll be out of a job. I haven’t even gotten married yet and can’t afford to lose my job."

Tang Yuxiu, "..." You Shuyang had also become increasingly glib.

Truly an all-purpose assistant, adept at both self-praise and self-marketing.

"Assistant You is really eloquent."

"The President overpraises me." Assistant You replied modestly, not taking it to heart.

Tang Yuxiu said, "...Heh, you do take it well."

This time, You Shuyang didn’t respond, because there was a sensitive word in the conversation.

The all-knowing Assistant You understood everything; even if the President didn’t intend it that way, as the listener, he couldn’t just respond carelessly.

Take... receive...

He was a normal man, liked women, and had nothing to do with those terms in this life.

He didn’t respond again, and Tang Yuxiu had nothing more to say. He stood up, "It’s time to get off work."

Hmm? You Shuyang was surprised for a moment, then secretly delighted.

"President, where are we going for dinner?"

"Who said anything about dinner? We’re going to the hospital to check on my dad first, see if Mu Bei has eaten."

You Shuyang, "..." Actually, you’re just finding an excuse not to eat, right?

Alright, whether you eat or not has nothing to do with me, as long as you don’t collapse, as long as you don’t let me lose my job, you can do whatever you like, go a lifetime without eating for all I care.

Assistant You couldn’t even notice the element of a disgruntled husband in this inner monologue.

The two parted ways in the parking lot below, You Shuyang went back, while Tang Yuxiu drove to the hospital.

At the hospital, Xiang Linghao was also in Old Sir Tang’s ward.

Tang Yuxiu saw him and unconsciously frowned.

"Hey, what’s with that face, seeing me makes you so unhappy?"

"Trust me, not many people would be happy to see a doctor suddenly show up in their family member’s hospital room."

Xiang Linghao, "..." Alright, he’s seen this kind of situation often.

"Young Master Tang, please don’t misunderstand, I’m just doing a routine check-up."

It’s as if he wants to be there. As a doctor, his greatest dream is for world peace, and he wishes he could quickly lose his job.

"It’d better be that way." As long as he’s not here to deliver a critical condition notice, he can basically be ignored.

Xiang Linghao, "..." That’s just loveless!

"How’s the examination going?" Tang Yuxiu asked.

"The situation is still okay, but the next three days are crucial, anything could happen at any time, or nothing at all. But whether he wakes up depends on luck." Xiang Linghao spoke about Old Sir Tang’s condition with a rather serious expression, "Your uncle is quite old, and his health has already declined considerably, so it’s best if you don’t hold too much hope."

Tang Yuxiu and Tang Mubei looked at Tang Feng lying in the hospital bed, both silent.

With Xiang Linghao saying this, how should they respond?

The likelihood that their father won’t wake up is high, hope is slim...

"You should keep watch, call me if anything comes up, I haven’t sorted out that medicine yet, but I’ll let you know once the research is done."

"Alright."

After Xiang Linghao left, the hospital room was once again enveloped in a long silence.

Tang Yuxiu moved his feet suddenly, and said to Tang Mubei, "I’ll step outside for some air. Are you having dinner? I’ll bring you some."

Tang Mubei shook his head, "No appetite, I won’t eat. I’ll eat if I get hungry later."

Tang Yuxiu didn’t insist on him eating something. He understood his younger brother’s feelings well. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Nobody has the appetite to eat anything.

Tang Yuxiu left the room, but only went to the window at the end of the corridor to get some fresh air.

Because it was the VIP ward floor, aside from one or two nurses passing by occasionally, there were almost no other people.

Tang Yuxiu stood by the window looking down; it was already October, the sky darkened quickly. It wasn’t even seven yet, but all sorts of neon lights flashed below.

Tang Yuxiu stood for a while, then took out his phone again to call Gu Yan, still unable to reach her, and his mood grew heavier.

Everything happening right now felt like a huge stone weighing down on him, making it difficult to breathe.

Gu Yan, what exactly are you thinking?

Just as Tang Yuxiu was worried about Gu Yan, she was already downstairs at the hospital, getting out of the car. She hadn’t even had time to inform the two subordinates, but was already impatiently rushing inside.

Because she ran too fast, she accidentally bumped into someone, and was about to fall when the person she bumped into suddenly reached out to catch her.

Gu Yan steadied herself, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She looked up to apologize and thank the person simultaneously, but was momentarily stunned.

She had seen some handsome men before, like Tang Yuxiu and Tang Mubei, with their exquisite and cold beauty, and Xue Jiarui and Xiang Linghao’s handsomeness, but the man in front of her left Gu Yan in an instant... stunned!
