As long as she was able to change Yan Rusheng's mind .
As she drove back to the city, she had been thinking hard of ways to change his mind about the bidding for the land . She knew he certainly wouldn't change his mind so easily .
Xuxu went straight to his office .
She rapped on the door and when there was no response, she decided to barge in .
Qiao Jian made his presence at the right time . "Sister Xuxu, President Yan just went to Country Y . "
"Went to Country Y?" Xuxu was startled . She then turned around and looked at Qiao Jian . "When did he leave?
Qiao Jian responded, "I just sent him to the airport . His dad seems to have fallen seriously ill . "

"What?!" Xuxu was visibly anxious . She then hurriedly fumbled for her phone in her bag and saw that there was an unread text from Yan Rusheng .
"My dad had a heart attack, so I'm flying to Country Y immediately . Call me if you need me and take good care of yourself . "
She called him right away after she read the text .
But there was no response . The flight must have already taken off already .
Xuxu was already worried about her father-in-law's condition, and it made her even more anxious when she couldn't reach Yan Rusheng . So she promptly dialed Mu Li's number instead .
"Hello, mother . " Once Mu Li answered the call, Xuxu asked her, "What happened to father?"
Mu Li said, "He's getting ready for an operation . "
Mu Li sounded far from her usual cheerful, energetic self .

When she heard about her father-in-law's condition, she got even more anxious . "I'll book an air ticket right away . "
Mu Li stopped her . "Your first uncle and Third Yan are already here . You should stay at home and wait for our news . The company is so busy during this period, and if you come here as well, I'm afraid that things would go out of hand . "
Although she knew that Mu Li was right, Xuxu hesitated . The end of the year usually was the busiest time of the calendar .
If both Yan Rusheng and her weren't around in the company, then the working staff won't be able to proceed with their projects .
She paused and continued, "Then let me know if there are any updates . "
For the whole day, Xuxu was worried about her father-in-law . She had wanted to call Mu Li for updates, but she was afraid that she might add on to her anxiety .
So she kept calling Yan Rusheng instead .
It was almost midnight when his phone was finally switched on .
Yan Rusheng answered with an exhausted and weak 'hello . ' He must have been extremely worried and anxious in the whole duration of his long flight .
When Xuxu heard his voice, she got emotional . "Ah Sheng, how's father's condition?"
Yan Rusheng replied, "I just met the chauffeur . He is having his operation in the afternoon . "
"Okay . When you reach the hospital, send me a text . "
"Okay . Sleep early . "
How would she be able to keep her promise to Yan Rusheng, though? Her father-in-law's operation was in the afternoon in Country Y, that would mean that it would be happening at that moment, too .
She anxiously held on to her phone as she waited in her room .
The clock went ticking and after some time, she walked out of her room .
As she walked towards the staircase, she could see that the living room was pitch-dark . She switched on the staircase lights, and it illuminated the living room as well .
She descended the stairs and walked to Wang Daqin's photo . She gazed at her benevolent-looking face, and soon tears brimmed on her eyes .
"Grandmother, you must bless Second Uncle so that he can have a successful operation . "
Xuxu prayed to Wang Daqin for her father-in-law . She stood there 'till her legs were numb before she decided to rest on the couch . She clenched the phone tightly in her hands .
She slowly drifted to sleep on the couch, and soon Aunt Zhang—who wakes up earlier than the rest— woke her up .
She was jolted awake, and she hastily glanced at the time . It was almost dawn, so she hurriedly dialed Yan Rusheng's number .
It had rung for some time before it got through . But the voice from the other end wasn't Yan Rusheng's voice .
