After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 652 - 656 The older, the wiser [2]

"Yeah, I think we can give this method a try," Shen Yizhou also expressed agreement.

Leng Zimo nodded, "Alright, Yizhou, would you give Tong Ya a call and ask her to bring Xiao Qian over? We need to explain the situation to her."

Shen Yizhou immediately took out his phone and dialed Tong Ya’s number.

After a short while, Tong Ya arrived with Luo Xiaoqian in the office.

"Is it, is the situation bad?" Luo Xiaoqian, seeing all three men with solemn expressions, also grew worried and furrowed her brows.

"We can’t confirm the diagnosis yet. We are considering a biopsy test," Shen Yizhou explained.

Leng Zirui took over, "After unanimous discussion and decision, we’ve concluded that the honorable task of persuading the old man should fall to you."

"Me?" Luo Xiaoqian pointed to herself, "Can I handle it?"

Shen Yizhou gave a self-deprecating smile, "If you can’t manage it, then all of us combined wouldn’t stand a chance either."

"Xiao Qian." Leng Zimo stepped forward and placed a hand on her arm, "Dad likes you a lot. I believe you definitely can do it."

"Let me tell you, Xiao Qian!" Leng Zirui leaned in, offering his stratagems, "Just pull out all the tricks you use on my brother. If all else fails, just cry. I’m telling you, my dad and your brother are the same—both like sea urchins, all spiky on the surface, looking pretty scary, but it’s all for show; they’re really soft inside. You’ve already got the hang of it with my brother who is even better than the original; my dad should be a walkover. You don’t even need to speak; the moment you let your tears fall, he’ll definitely surrender without a fight."

"Get lost!" Leng Zimo pushed him away, "Xiao Qian, don’t listen to Zirui’s nonsense; just have a good talk with him. If he loses his temper, come out, and we will think of another approach."

Luo Xiaoqian knew the matter was of great importance and lightly nodded, "Alright then, I’ll give it a try."

With no time to lose, several people crowded around Luo Xiaoqian and headed for the ward. Shen Yizhou and Leng Zimo stayed outside the door, while Leng Zirui accompanied Luo Xiaoqian into the ward with Tong Ya.

Tong Ya and Leng Zirui successively found excuses to leave, of course, they did not stray far, staying in the corridor.

Luo Xiaoqian sat back down by the bed, inevitably feeling a bit nervous.

She looked at Xiao Liu standing opposite her and cleared her throat, "Xiao Liu, I’m a bit hungry because we can’t eat breakfast due to the tests in the morning. Could you help me get something to eat?"

"Sure!" Xiao Liu immediately agreed and left the ward.

Glancing at the people standing in the corridor, he just raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Leng Zirui raised his finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet, while Shen Yizhou directed him towards the lounge. Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Liu didn’t leave but stood beside Leng Zimo.

In the ward.

Leng Lin turned to Luo Xiaoqian, speaking with concern, "There are some pastries that Tong Ya brought in the cupboard. You can eat one of those to tide you over."

"Okay," Luo Xiaoqian opened the cupboard, took out the box of pastries and slowly opened it, first offering one to him, "Would you like one as well?"

"You eat, I’m not fond of sweets," Leng Lin said.

"Then shall I pour you a glass of water, or, maybe peel some fruit?" Luo Xiaoqian asked again.

Leng Lin turned his head and glanced at her, then gently shook it, "Just speak directly, I can take it."

The old man’s directness startled Luo Xiaoqian, "You..."

"Enough, no need to pretend, I know those two scamps sent you, didn’t they?" Leng Lin smiled warmly at her, "I have weathered many storms; I have visited Yama Raja several times already. It’s fine, go ahead, is it cancer or some other terminal illness?!"
