21 He's my nephew

"The matter with the project that Young Master Luo and I are working on is about Father's transfer to the New Hope Hospital. There was a new machine that was released that could exercise brain activity and still maintain the patient's body without deteriorating, but it needs the best facility and technology, and the Hospital handled by Young Master Luo is the best out there." Jiang Yue patiently explained to her.

"Oh, that's good to hear then. So Father has a higher chance of recovering right?"

Jiang Yue nodded, "Around 60%."

Jiang Xiu sucked her breath when she heard that number. Although their father isn't dead, his condition is no different from it.

He had been in a coma since they were almost 9 years old and just 2 years ago, he woke up but he was in a vegetative state.

Their father's recovery is not impossible, but the chances of him recovering his consciousness were so low that it was almost impossible.

To think that the chance of it happening is much higher now is much surprising.

"I was only gonna tell you about this after everything is confirmed." Jiang Yue added just in case her sister will be upset with her for keeping this a secret.

"I understand Sister. All this time people thought that you abandoned Father and me, but I know you'd never do that." Jiang Xiu said in a small quivering voice.

Things are starting to look better for her.

Her sister is with her now, going to school with her, and their Father might recover soon.

They had dinner in a light atmosphere as Qin Zirui tried to make jokes from here and there.

Gao Jing on the other hand tried to ask Jiang Yue several questions, which earned him a glare from Luo Zhelan.

Jiang Xiu felt a huge heavy weight lifted off her heart, making her feel light and happy like never before. She felt like she was floating on clouds, making her smile wider and her attitude much more open.

"Young Master Gao, if you don't mind me asking, are you perhaps related to Gao Tian?" Jiang Xiu couldn't keep her curiosity anymore and asked.

She had been staring at the Young Master Gao in front of her and she noticed that he looked a bit like Gao Tian.

Gao Jing raised his brow, "You know him? He's my nephew."

"Oh, so that's why the two of you look a bit similar. He's our classmate." Gao Jing's interest was piqued when he heard that.

"How is he? I heard his grades were so bad my Older Cousin didn't even bother finding a tutor for him anymore."

"He's pretty nice."

Gao Jing laughed when he heard the girl say his nephew was 'nice'.

He's way familiar with the attitude of that boy and 'nice' is the last word someone will describe Gao Tian.

"What made you say so?" Qin Zirui asked as he was familiar with his good friend's nephew also.

"Sister twisted his arm because he sneaked up on her but he didn't push the matter and apologized. But his grades indeed were a bit... eh." Jiang Xiu grimaced.

It wasn't a secret about how bad Gao Tian's grades were.

The two who were listening attentively, turned their heads towards Jiang Yue who was drinking the tea Luo Zhelan just poured her.

"Gao Tian didn't do anything to you?"

"Why would he?" Jiang Yue questioned back.

The two's expressions became even more doubtful.

"It's good that boy didn't do anything." Gao Jing said and then suddenly became gleeful as he thought of gossiping about this to his Older Brother.

"Why don't you try to beat that boy up, Miss Jiang? I'll pay you." Gao Jing offered as he grab his phone, ready to send any amount of money.

Qin Zirui laughed and Jiang Xiu had a questioning look.

"Beat him up yourself. Why are you bothering others?" Luo Zhelan declined as his eyes glanced over at Gao Jing.

His eyes clearly warning him.

It was as though if he push this matter, he'd be the one beating him.

Gao Jing immediately put down his phone, "I'm just kidding Brother Zhe. It was just a first that that boy was beaten up. It would be great to curb his attitude."

"Do it yourself." Luo Zhelan stated to which Gao Jing dismissed.

"You're the only uncle I know who pays others to beat up their nephew." Added Qin Zirui.

"Have you forgotten Fu Liwei has done much worse?" The two of them started to reminisce about their other friend's past actions.

"Is Gao Tian bothering you?" Luo Zhelan asked the girl beside him to which she replied, "No, he wouldn't dare."

Luo Zhelan laughed when he heard that, "Aren't you great?"

Jiang Yue raised her head, her eyes questioning him what he meant by that, "That boy had never lowered his head at anyone."

"That has nothing to do with me." Luo Zhelan's lips turned up with how unbothered she is.

"That's right, it has nothing to do with you."

"I should ask you that instead."

"Hmm?"

"Aren't you great Young Master Luo? You could have picked any place but you chose this one. Xiao Xiu even started to think if we should borrow some money just to feed you." Luo Zhelan this time laughed, his eyes curved, filled with amusement.

"What? Don't tell me you're broke. I remember a certain someone told me that I shouldn't underestimate her." He stated, ignoring the annoying stares his good friends are throwing at him.

"You did not underestimate me but instead overestimated me this time. Has Young Master Luo forgotten I'm still a student?" Luo Zhelan didn't believe a word she said.

If anything the girl is lacking, it definitely wouldn't be money.

Just the collaboration with Kharza Automobile earned Allico Intelligence a few hundred million dollars.

Not to mention the company still has a few projects that earned a few million dollars also.

It's one of the leading tech giants in the country for a reason.
