Chapter 59 Lu Xian Is in a Dilemma

Lu Yu was laughing happily when suddenly a thumping sound came from the room, waking him up from his beautiful fantasy.

He sat up and looked out of the bed, and was immediately shocked.

He saw his mother lying on the ground, and the spatula in her hand fell down, as if she had fainted.

"Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you?! Don't scare me!"

He quickly jumped off the bed and carried his unconscious mother from the ground to his bed.

"Mom! Are you okay!?"

Lu Yu's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice was slightly crying.

How could his mother suddenly faint? Could it be that her illness was so serious? She actually didn't tell him.

Lu Yu felt extremely guilty at the moment.

After calling several times, his mother didn't wake up.

Lu Yu had to call 120 and called an ambulance to send his mother to the hospital.

Fan Xian had just got off work. He had agreed to go back for dinner today, but was dragged by his boss to accompany him for a drink.

The day before yesterday, he drank until 12 o'clock in the evening before going home. He sat in the living room and vomited all night. He still has a headache now.

There is no way. Although he doesn't want to go, he has to go to support his family.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, he leaned his head against the seat and wanted to rest for a while. He was too tired today.

Just as he fell asleep, his cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed his son.

He hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.

It was probably to ask when he would be home.

"Hello, son, why are you calling me? I have an appointment outside today, so I won't go back for dinner."

As soon as Fan Xian answered the phone, he said the lines he had thought of long ago.

"Dad! Mom suddenly fainted! What should I do... She has been taken away by an ambulance."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yu's trembling voice came,

"What?! How could Xiaoli suddenly faint!"

Lu Xian sat up from the back seat of the car at once, his mind blank.

How could it be? ! Didn't the doctor say that she was fine for the time being? How could this happen!

Last time he took Lu Yu's mother to the hospital for a full-body checkup, and the doctor told him that Yin Li suffered from uremia and needed a kidney transplant, otherwise she would not live for a few years.

The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, and the two people who got the result were all desperate.

It's not easy to replace a kidney, it costs at least hundreds of thousands, and at most millions, plus the cost of later recuperation.

For a family like theirs with only one person working, it is simply a devastating blow.

The house they live in now still needs to pay off the loan every month. Excluding other living expenses, the family has only saved tens of thousands of yuan over the years.

They originally planned to save this money slowly to find a wife for their son, but now the price of marrying a wife is too high.

He was with Yin Li despite the opposition of his family. Both parents were not optimistic about them and did not provide financial support.

The house was bought by the two of them with a mortgage loan, and they have to pay off the loan for more than 30 years.

It can be said that they have been working for this house for the rest of their lives. Even so, their relationship has never had any problems.

Instead, it has become deeper and deeper day by day. With the birth of little Lu Yu, this family seems to be perfect.

No matter how hard life is, as long as people are still there, there is hope.

But since Yin Li was diagnosed with uremia, both of them have become depressed.

There is almost no laughter at home anymore, and more often they are acting for their son.

The huge cost of treatment is unaffordable for the family, so Yin Li made her own decision.

She doesn't plan to treat this disease. Anyway, she has watched her son grow up, and she is very comforted in her heart.

It's just that she can't see the day when he gets married and has children. This is her only regret.

That night, she told Lu Xian her thoughts.

Lu Xian didn't say anything, got out of bed, put on a coat, walked to the balcony, and smoked silently.

He rarely smokes, and only smokes two cigarettes when he has to drink and socialize.

After a night, Lu Xian's eye sockets were sunken and bloodshot.

On the ground in front of him, cigarette butts and ashes were scattered everywhere, some of which had been wetted by his tears and condensed into ash balls.

For the first time, this middle-aged man who had just entered his forties felt the ruthlessness of fate.

He had thought that he would keep it a secret from his son for a while and try not to make him worry.

But now it seems that he can't keep it a secret anymore.

"Qinghan Central Hospital, right? I'll be there soon! Wait for me!"

After Lu Xian found out where Yin Li was in the hospital, he hung up the phone and prepared to leave immediately.

"Driver, stop! I want to get off!"

He shouted to the driver in front of the business car.

"Xiao Lu, what's the matter? Why do you want to get off suddenly?"

The supervisor named Liu turned around and asked.

He was Lu Xian's boss, responsible for the affairs of Lu's department.

Every time he had a banquet, he would pull Lu Xian over as a shield to accompany him.

He only drank tea every time, not alcohol.

Lu Xian had said several times that he didn't want to attend the banquet, but was rejected by Manager Liu.

"Xiao Lu, I took you to drink because I think highly of you. I hope you can know yourself and do a good job for me. You are indispensable for promotion and salary increase!"

This is a sentence that Manager Liu often talks about, used to prevaricate Lu Xian.

But several years have passed, and Lu Xian hasn't seen his salary increase or get promoted.

Only then did he realize that the promotion and salary increase mentioned by Manager Liu were all empty talk and had no intention of fulfilling them.

But in order to survive, he still had to continue to accompany him everywhere to socialize and drink.

"Director Liu, I'm sorry, something happened to my wife and she is in the hospital now. I want to go check on the situation."

Lu Xian explained to Manager Liu in a low voice, hoping that he could be accommodating.

"From what you say, do you not plan to go to this banquet?"

When Manager Liu heard this, his face turned cold for a moment and his tone was a little low. He didn't know whether he was asking or blaming.

"Um... I'm afraid I won't be able to go tonight. I'm sorry, Manager Liu."

Although Lu Xian was very worried, he still smiled on the surface and explained to Manager Liu in a good voice.

If he angers Director Liu, he will definitely be put in the wrong position. Then he will lose his job, and no one will support his family.

"Tonight is a very important banquet. Director Li and Section Chief Wang from the company will be there. This is a rare opportunity to show off. Are you sure you don't want to go, eh?"

"But..., my lover she..."

Lu Xian wanted to explain, but was suddenly interrupted by Manager Liu.

"Okay, don't explain anymore, I don't want to hear it, go or not, give me an answer now!"

Manager Liu glanced at him and said, with some anger in his tone.

Lu Xian also probably heard the implication of Manager Liu's words.

If you go, everything is easy to discuss. If you don't go, you won't have a good life in the future.

One side is family and the other side is work.

If you choose your family, you will most likely lose your job. When the time comes, you will have no income and you will not even be able to take care of your family.

But now that his wife's condition is unclear, he has no intention of doing anything else.

For a moment, Lu Xian was in a dilemma.
