Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 491: Inside Story Surfaces (2)

"The chairman has always had a history of high blood pressure, but the situation was never so severe that he needed to be hospitalized for surgery. However, patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease generally need to take medication on time to control their blood pressure, which is the first priority. Emotional fluctuations can temporarily cause a rise in blood pressure, but if he had been taking his daily medication, it wouldn’t have become so serious," Tang Sili said.

With that said, it was obvious that Xiao Jianming had deliberately chosen not to take his medication upon seeing his son come in. Therefore, it was hard to rule out that Xiao Jianming had intentionally set a trap for his own son.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was somewhat surprised and puzzled.

The youngest brother started to imitate Yebai’s silence, holding a white game piece at his fingertips and examining it in front of his eyes as if it were a delicate and enigmatic toy.

A sound suddenly came from the staircase.

Zhan Dapeng, who was guarding the entrance of the living room, was the first to hear it and walked over to the staircase to look.

Gu Nuan held onto the handrail, descending the stairs step by step. The room she had slept in was clearly tidied up for her, which hadn’t made her feel much at the time. Now, as she stepped out, things were bound to look different.

Her room, after being specially arranged, had almost no furniture except for a bed and the medical equipment Tang Sili needed for her treatment. A patient’s room’s first and foremost element is certainly cleanliness and tidiness.

After leaving the corridor, she began to notice the carpet on the floor, far more luxurious than anything in the Xiao Family’s home—golden-yellow wool. It was incredibly warm; stepping on it barefoot, one could feel its silk-like smoothness and softness. And the golden carpet seemed to stretch endlessly, accompanying her from her room, down the staircase, and to the lower floor, making one feel as if in the palace of a king.

The paint on the walls also contained something resembling gold dust.

It suddenly reminded her of a phrase: "The Golden Powder Clan."

Everything was glittering with gold; the furniture wasn’t gilded, then it was silverware, possessing an even stranger style. One moment it felt like being in a world of Arabs with a love for gold, the next it seemed as though the classic frescoes belonged to a Western style. However, the furniture had a distinctly Chinese Ming or Qing dynasty feel, making it easy to speculate that the owner was Chinese, or at least someone who appreciated ancient Chinese culture.

Gu Nuan felt as if the world before her eyes was in chaos, the owner of this house was undoubtedly an eccentric and peculiar person, because it all seemed so style-less and utterly unpredictable—like a gust of wind.

"Sister-in-law," Zhan Dapeng called out to her from the staircase entrance, meanwhile, he was somewhat worried about her steps, considering her head injury and Tang Sili’s warning that she could faint from the concussion at any moment.

Yebai, upon hearing Zhan Dapeng’s shout, immediately abandoned the game pieces and leaped out of his chair.

His dislocated arm was fixed in front of his chest, so he could only run to the staircase like Long-Leg Uncle, taking the steps in stride to reach her. Extending his uninjured hand towards her, he said, "Why didn’t you call for help?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

His tone was like that of a small dog complaining. Gu Nuan replied helplessly, "I thought the house was so big that if I called out, no one would hear me."

"Don’t you have your phone?"

"Everyone is in the same house; why call on the phone?"

Without further ado, he grasped her hand first and then we would figure out the rest.

Gu Nuan seemed more concerned about him, her gaze falling on his immobile arm as she asked, "Did you break it?"

"No, it’s just a dislocation; it just looks more dramatic than it is," he said, a bit resentful toward the person who had applied the overly dramatic bandaging.

Tang Sili seemed to have already gotten used to the boss instantly changing his demeanor upon seeing his wife, quietly moving his chair to a corner to hide. He decided that unless the boss called for him, he would stay silent and invisible.
