After such a long time, I wonder how Hu Bang is doing now! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

They had just settled down when they opened the Hu Family’s gate and saw the people outside bringing news.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the Second Elder and others instantly turned pale.

Did Hu Bang really have something happen to him?

The latter is the most outstanding disciple of their lineage, meant to be nurtured as the heir in the future!

Immediately, the Second Elder and others became anxious and didn’t bother with Luo Qingtong and Chu Lingfeng anymore.

After all, Hu Zhongtian didn’t have much time left to live anyway.

Once he’s dead, even if he insists on having Lady Yan and her son return to inherit the Hu Family, they could still get rid of them!

Thinking this way, the group hurriedly left.

Watching their departing figures, Luo Qingtong’s eyes narrowed slightly, then she focused her gaze on Hu Zhongtian at the courtyard gate.

The latter was coughing violently at the moment.

The medicine liquid Luo Qingtong provided could only stimulate his body’s potential, allowing him to regain consciousness and restore mobility temporarily, but it couldn’t make him truly well.

At this moment, Hu Zhongtian’s figure was unsteady, needing to lean heavily on the Hidden Guard beside him to avoid collapsing.

"Child... cough, cough... come here..." He beckoned to Chu Lingfeng, "Come over... let me see you."

Chu Lingfeng hesitated and looked at Luo Qingtong.

The latter looked at Hu Zhongtian and said, "Family Head Hu, as you can see, my big brother is someone mentally incomplete. People outside call him a fool!"

"Though to me, he’s just a bit simple-minded, overly honest, which isn’t a bad thing."

"But in the eyes of many, he would indeed become the laughstock of the Hu Family!"

"As for Lady Yan, she had a child before marriage and lost her honor, which the Hu Family sees as a disgrace."

"I want to know if you genuinely wish to acknowledge my big brother as your grandson?"

That’s why Luo Qingtong chose to temporarily revive Hu Zhongtian, to get an answer from him, to see if he’s worth saving.

"Cough, cough... a fool?"

Hu Zhongtian had also heard the Second Elder call Chu Lingfeng that and thought they were purposely slandering him.

It seems now this might really be the case?

Looking at Chu Lingfeng, Hu Zhongtian felt deeply pained.

His daughter, all these years, raising such a child all on her own?

How hard has it been for her, how much has she sacrificed?

"Of course, I’m willing! But I cannot bring him back to the Hu Family!"

Hu Zhongtian said this, followed by another bout of severe coughing.

"Cough, cough, cough... This place... is not a good place! After I die, you must leave here, far away! Let Lady Yan and the others never come back!"

As Hu Zhongtian spoke, he couldn’t help but shed tears.

Only he knew what a treacherous place the Hu Family has become.

It’s best for Lady Yan and them not to be here.

The Second Elder’s faction feared he would acknowledge Chu Lingfeng and Lady Yan’s return and hand over the Hu Family to them.

Little did they know, he never had such intentions!

He only wished for his Lady Yan to live well and never plunge into this troubled water again!

Even if the price was that he wouldn’t see his daughter before dying, it didn’t matter.

"Cough, cough... Is your mother well outside? Tell her to take care of herself and not to worry about this side anymore!"

"Cough, cough... After I die, don’t inform her of the news, nor let her come back."
