Chapter 414: The Son of the Chen Family's Eldest Brother Has Made It Big
Su Ruochu was clearly startled as well.
She hadn't expected that just a brief mention by Chen Fan on the phone would bring so many people down to see her.
She suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Chen Fan took Su Ruochu's small hand and stepped forward.
"Mom, Dad, how's Fourth Uncle doing?"
"He's still unconscious. He's already had one surgery, and his condition is temporarily stable."
"But the doctor said if we want him to be able to walk like a normal person after the surgery, he'll need another operation in a couple of days."
Chen Jianye briefly explained the situation, then looked at Su Ruochu and greeted her with a smile.
"Ruochu, you're here."
Su Ruochu quickly greeted them obediently, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Li Jinqiu nodded with a smile, then glared at her son.
"You kid, how could you let Ruochu carry her own bag? And why didn't you tell us earlier that Ruochu was coming back with you?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did it feel like his status at home was getting lower by the day?
However, after confirming that Fourth Uncle was not in immediate danger, Chen Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Su Ruochu.
"This is my Second Aunt."
Su Ruochu quickly greeted her: "Hello, Second Aunt."
Chen Meiyun looked Su Ruochu up and down.
"Oh my, this girl is so pretty. Our Xiao Fan is really lucky."
Su Ruochu felt a bit embarrassed hearing this, her small face turning slightly red.
Chen Fan then continued the introductions: "This is my cousin, Gao Shengbo. Second Aunt's child."
Besides them, there was also Third Uncle's daughter Chen Wan, and Fourth Uncle's son Chen Xiao.
This time, with Fourth Uncle's accident, the Chen family was all gathered.
Among the four siblings of the Chen family, Second Aunt's son Gao Shengbo had attended a vocational college and had already graduated. He had changed jobs a few times and was reportedly learning auto repair from someone.
Third Uncle's daughter Chen Wan had gone straight to a technical school after graduating from high school, studying beauty and hairdressing. She had graduated last year and was working at a hair salon in another city.
Apart from them, Fourth Uncle's child Chen Xiao was the youngest, still in high school. With Fourth Uncle's injury, the child was a bit at a loss.
In the entire Chen family, Chen Fan was the only one who had been admitted to a prestigious university.
To be honest, Chen Fan had a good relationship with these cousins and siblings when they were young, but later when everyone went to school, they only met during holidays and didn't see each other much.
Moreover, Chen Fan didn't like to talk much, and his father Chen Jianye, despite being the eldest, was the least successful, which led to Chen Fan's family having the least presence.
He got along okay with his cousin and younger cousin Chen Xiao, but Third Uncle's daughter Chen Wan usually looked down on Chen Fan.
As Chen Fan was greeting everyone, Li Jinqiu pulled Su Ruochu aside to chat.
"By the way, have you eaten?"
Su Ruochu smiled, "We ate on the way."
Chen Fan chimed in from the side: "We left in a hurry, so we just bought some corn and bread on the road..."
Hearing this, Li Jinqiu immediately glared at her son.
"You child, why didn't you eat before leaving? How could you let Ruochu go hungry with you?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, we were worried about Fourth Uncle, that's why."
"What use would it be if you came earlier?"
Li Jinqiu took Su Ruochu's small hand, "Corn isn't filling. I'll take you out to find a restaurant and eat another meal."
Su Ruochu smiled and shook her head: "There's no need, I'm really full."
"Even if you're full, eat a little more. This child Chen Fan is usually careless, he doesn't know how to take care of others."
"Auntie hasn't eaten either, come with me to eat something."
Su Ruochu had no choice but to look at Chen Fan. Chen Fan thought for a moment and said,
"How about this, let's go up and see Fourth Uncle first, then we'll go eat later."
Second Aunt Chen Meiyun chimed in: "Let's do as Fan says. None of us have eaten anyway, we'll all go out to eat together later."
Chen Jianye waved his hand, "Alright. Let's all go up, don't just stand here at someone else's door."
At this moment, cousin Gao Shengbo came over and asked quietly: "Chen Fan, did you drive that car here?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"Hey, an Audi A6, right? That car isn't cheap, it must be 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, right?"
"About that." Chen Fan casually explained: "It was the top configuration at the time, nearly 500,000 yuan."
Gao Yunbo's tongue clicked slightly, "You've struck it rich? You can actually afford such an expensive car?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "This isn't my car, it's the club's car."
Gao Yunbo didn't understand what club he was talking about and wanted to ask more, but the group had already entered the elevator.
Upstairs in the three-person ward, Chen Fan's Fourth Uncle Chen Jianlong was lying on the bed, his head wrapped in thick bandages.
The short woman pouring water by the bed was Chen Fan's Fourth Aunt.
The man and woman sitting opposite were Chen Fan's Third Uncle and Third Aunt.
Seeing the group enter the room, Third Uncle and Third Aunt all stood up.
"Xiao Fan is here."
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt."
Chen Fan quickly greeted them, then looked at Fourth Uncle on the bed.
"Is Fourth Uncle alright?"
Fourth Aunt's expression was a bit anxious, clearly trying to keep her spirits up.
"The surgery went smoothly. Xiao Fan, I heard from your parents that you paid for your Fourth Uncle's surgery."
"Thank you, Fourth Aunt."
"Fourth Aunt, don't mention it."
"As long as Fourth Uncle is okay, spending any amount of money is worth it."
Chen Fan then introduced Su Ruochu to the three of them, and Su Ruochu came forward to greet them.
At this point, Su Ruochu had met all the members of the Chen family.
Because the ward was small and the patient needed rest, the family didn't stay inside for long.
After a brief discussion, it was decided that Chen Fan's uncle would come from home later to stay and look after the patient, while everyone else would go out to eat together.
Standing in the corridor, Chen Fan glanced at the ward and quietly called his father out.
"Dad, I think this ward is too small, and there are other patients' family members here. Why don't we move Fourth Uncle to a private room?"
"A private room would be much more expensive."
Chen Fan shook his head: "I'll cover the cost. As long as Fourth Uncle can recover, it's fine."
Chen Jianye looked at his son, "Alright then. I'll tell your Fourth Aunt."
Chen Jianye went in to explain the situation, and Chen Fan's Fourth Aunt quickly came out.
"Xiao Fan, I appreciate your kindness, but your Fourth Uncle's hospitalization has already cost a lot. We don't need to spend this unnecessary money..."
Chen Fan smiled slightly: "Fourth Aunt, listen to me. Given Fourth Uncle's current condition, what he needs most is rest and quiet. This will help him regain consciousness quickly."
"Secondly, this ward is too chaotic. If we move to a private room, there will be a bathroom and sofa, everything you need. When you're staying with him, you can also lie down and rest, so you won't be so tired."
"Fourth Aunt, let's not worry about how much money we're spending now. As long as we can cure Fourth Uncle, that's what matters."
Hearing this, Fourth Aunt lowered her head and began to wipe away tears.
"Let's do as I said. I'll go find the doctor now to arrange for Fourth Uncle to be moved to a VIP private room."
Chen Fan asked where the duty room was and walked over there alone.
Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed him.
The remaining group had strange expressions on their faces. Third Uncle's daughter Chen Xiao muttered quietly,
"He... isn't he still in school? Where did he get so much money?"
Third Aunt glared at her daughter.
"What's with all this 'he, he, he'? This is your cousin, show some respect in the future."
Li Jinqiu pulled Chen Fan's Fourth Aunt and tried to persuade her: "Since it's the child's wish, let's do as he says. Spending a bit more money will at least make things more convenient later."
Fourth Aunt's eyes were red: "We already owe you so much money... If it weren't for you sending money for the surgery, Jianlong wouldn't even have been able to get on the operating table today..."
Chen Jianye stood to the side and spoke in a low voice.
"That's Fan's Fourth Uncle, it's only right that he pays."
Second Aunt chimed in: "Big Brother is right, let's not think about money now. Let's focus on getting him better first."
Gao Shengbo interjected: "Fourth Aunt, you probably don't know, but Chen Fan has struck it rich now. The car he drove here just now was an Audi A6, top configuration, over 400,000 yuan."
Hearing this, several people once again showed surprised expressions.
Even Chen Fan's parents were a bit surprised. The car Fan drove was that expensive?
As for the others, they exchanged strange looks.
Everyone had only one thought in mind.
Although they didn't know the details, it seemed that the eldest brother's son had really made it big this time.
