Chapter 3051
3051 Something Happened To The Old Master
Commander Xia walked into the military office lobby and strode toward the elevator. He didn’t notice that Xia Jinyuan’s future father-in-law was sitting on the sofa on the left side of the lobby.
Lieutenant Colonel Xia’s future father-in-law, Chief Engineer Fu Yusheng, had just arrived. At first, he rushed back at around five in the afternoon today. Halfway through, he received a call from his butler. Old Master Fu accidentally fell while taking a walk and was currently being sent to the hospital. When Mr. Fu heard this, he immediately rushed to the hospital and only returned to the military half an hour ago.
Hence, he missed his meeting with his daughter, Ye Jian.
Mr. Fu, who had returned to the military headquarters, didn’t see Ye Jian and didn’t know if Commander Xia’s meeting had ended. Hence, he sat in the reception hall and waited. He planned to wait for her.
At this moment, Mr. Fu saw Commander Xia and immediately stood up to greet him. “Commander Xia…”
Commander Xia, who was serious, suddenly heard his future in-law’s voice. Only then did he remember that he had asked his future in-law to come to the military to wait.
He was so busy today that he forgot about such an important matter!
He immediately changed his direction and turned around to face Mr. Fu. “I’m sorry! I was so busy that I forgot our agreement. Engineer Fu, I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting!”
He calculated the time. If his future in-law had started waiting at five o’clock, it would have already been two hours.
The two were both high-ranking generals. Their military uniforms made them look like soldiers. Coupled with their military ranks, the primary level military officers walking out of the elevator and passing through the lobby slowed down their footsteps.
Mr. Fu smiled and said, “I’m the one who’s disturbing you. I just arrived and didn’t wait long. They should have already returned.”
Mr. Fu wanted to know if Ye Jian had arrived at the military headquarters. In addition, he had already made an agreement with Commander Xia. He didn’t say anything polite and asked directly.
“They’re back. They’re reporting now. Engineer Fu, please wait a little longer. After this ends, we’ll have dinner like we said before.”
The two families would have dinner together so that the children of the two families could interact more in private. He could also interact more with his future in-law, Engineer Fu.
Commander Xia was a pragmatic and action-oriented person. When it was time to act, he would definitely act. He wouldn’t hesitate or consider too much.
In this aspect, Xia Jinyuan was very similar to Commander Xia in chief.
However, Mr. Fu couldn’t make it for the appointment. He sighed and said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to miss the appointment tonight. Old Master went out for a walk and accidentally tripped. He’s lying in the hospital now. When he knew that my girl had returned to the capital city, he urged me to bring his precious granddaughter back for him to take a look.
“Commander Xia, I’m sorry about tonight. I can only apologize to you another day.”
Old Master Fu was injured?
Commander Xia didn’t care about the meal anymore. His expression changed slightly as he hurriedly asked, “How’s the situation? Is it alright?”
“He’s old, and his bones are loose. There’ll be a problem even if it’s a slight hall. His hip is fractured. After all the tests, he’s undergoing surgery now. Before Old Master entered the operating room, he strictly ordered me to bring my girl over tonight. Look, I rushed over without guarding the operating room.”
In the past, hip fractures were also known as the last fracture in one’s life. Once a fracture occurred, it would be fatal if it caused all kinds of complications.
Old Master Fu endured the pain and listened to the doctor’s diagnosis personally. He then urged Mr. Fu to bring Ye Jian over so that he could see her when he came out of surgery tonight.
