Chapter 540: I want to meet the father of these two children
In June 2000, the Nasdaq once again rose to 4200 points. However, Zhang Yun had already completed the settlement in accordance with Huang Xiaochuan's requirements before the end of May. The first wave of the market ended, and she took her profits and gathered funds to prepare for the second wave of action. However, there would not be as many counterparties as in the first wave.
Seeing the Nasdaq rebound sharply, many investors seemed to see hope again and rushed into the market to try to buy at the bottom.
In this situation, market enthusiasm has started to rise again.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yun returned to Singapore with her twin sons and mother, Xue Huilan.
Because Zhang Yun's maternal grandfather, Xue Xiang, is ill. The old man is already eighty-four years old this year. As the saying goes, "At seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell will come on his own without being invited."
Lying in his hospital bed, Xue Xiangsheng was still somewhat worried about his daughter and granddaughter. After all, they had been wandering for many years and had suffered a lot. Although he knew he would not let his daughter and granddaughter inherit the Xue family business, he still had to give them an explanation, both morally and logically. He knew his son's character best, but there was nothing he could do! The Xue family was small, with only this one son among thousands of acres of land.
She was over thirty when she gave birth to Xue Bingkang, her only son, and naturally spoiled him a bit, resulting in him becoming a playboy. Now it's too late to regret it!
After a 21-hour stopover at Tokyo Haneda Airport for refueling, the "Global Express" arrived at Singapore Changi International Airport at 10:20 a.m. local time.
Zhang Yun and her daughter Xue Huilan, disregarding their long journey, got into the car and headed directly to Xue's Hospital in Singapore.
This hospital is also one of the Xue family's businesses, belonging to the Xue's Medical Group. It is one of the top private hospitals in Singapore and has extensive cooperation with major medical institutions around the world, such as the Mayo Clinic in the United States and St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan.
Xue's Hospital has extensive experience in high-end specialties such as cardiology, oncology, and obstetrics and gynecology, as well as in the management and treatment of chronic diseases.
Xue Xiangsheng was sent to this hospital because of heart problems. As the founder, Xue Xiangsheng received comprehensive treatment and support as soon as he was admitted.
After examining Xue Xiangsheng with the hospital's best cardiologists, the current hospital director, Yuan Yu, said to him, "Chairman Xue, your recovery is going very well. You can be discharged after a few more days of recuperation."
Upon hearing this news, Xue Xiangsheng was naturally very happy.
He expressed his gratitude to Yuan Yu and the doctors, while Xue Bingkang, standing to the side, was very annoyed. How could this old man be so tough?
However, he didn't show it on his face, and followed his father Xue Xiangsheng to express his gratitude to Yuan Yu and the doctors.
After Yuan Yu left with the doctor, Xue Xiangsheng's face immediately turned cold.
"Disappointed, aren't you?"
Xue Bingkang knew what his father meant, but he pretended not to understand.
"Dad! What did you say?"
Seeing that his son was pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of him, Xue Xiangsheng didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Go do whatever you need to do. I know you've been here for ages and want to leave a long time ago!"
Xue Bingkang really didn't want to stay here anymore, and seeing that the old man was telling him to leave, he was happy to go along with it.
After Xue Bingkang left, Xue Xiangsheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while.
His butler stayed by his side at all times, and a doctor and two nurses were also waiting outside the suite to provide professional medical services at any time.
Not long after, Xue Xiangsheng heard his butler greet people with delight: "Miss, you're back! (The book '1990, I'm Back' is full of classic quotes; come find something that resonates with you.)"
Xue Xiangsheng suddenly opened his eyes.
Sure enough, his daughter looked at him with teary eyes, sat down beside him, and took his hand.
Xue Huilan asked tearfully, "Dad! Are you feeling better?"
At this moment, the butler quickly said, "Miss, please don't cry. The head doctor just left. He said that the master can be discharged and go home after a few more days of recuperation."
Upon hearing this, Xue Huilan was finally relieved.
However, she still held onto Xue Xiangsheng's hand tightly.
Xue Xiangsheng patted his daughter's hand affectionately. Although his daughter was over sixty years old, she was still a child in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Yun also greeted Xue Xiangsheng: "Grandpa!"
Then he taught Aven and Luca: "Aven, Luca, call him Grandpa!"
The two children obediently called out to Xue Xiangsheng.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa!"
Xue Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, then insisted on sitting up to see the two little ones.
Zhang Yun has not returned to the United States for many years, and Xue Huilan felt embarrassed about Zhang Yun having a child out of wedlock, so she did not tell her father, Xue Xiangsheng, about it.
He pointed to Yavin and Luca and asked his daughter, Xue Huilan, "Huilan, what's this?"
Now that the children had been brought back, Xue Huilan naturally stopped hiding it from her elderly father.
"Dad, these are Yun'er's babies, your great-grandchildren, twins. The older one is called Yawen, and the younger one is called Luca."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiangsheng's dim old eyes instantly lit up.
He looked at the two children with a delighted expression, unable to get enough of them.
While happy, he also felt regretful. Why was the Xue family always so small? Xue Bingkang had been indulging in pleasure for so many years and only had two daughters. It was said that he had an illegitimate child outside, but considering the relationship with his daughter-in-law's family, he did not bring the illegitimate child back to the Xue family.
However, Xue Xiangsheng immediately thought of something.
He asked, "Yun'er got married? I haven't heard anyone tell me?"
Xue Huilan looked embarrassed: "Dad! This is a long story, please let me tell you slowly."
Afterwards, Xue Huilan told Xue Xiangsheng about the origins of the two children.
After hearing this, Xue Xiangsheng fell silent.
The ward fell silent. Zhang Yun sat down with Ya Wen and Luca, stroking her two sons' bodies and comforting the little ones.
After a long while, Xue Xiangsheng spoke up: "I want to meet the father of these two children."
Hearing this, Xue Huilan looked at her daughter with a troubled expression. She knew Huang Xiaochuan's true identity and what kind of relationship her daughter had with him. Getting Huang Xiaochuan to come to Singapore would probably be very difficult!
Xue Xiangsheng made this request because he wanted to see for himself what kind of man would make his granddaughter willingly have a child for him.
Zhang Yun initially disagreed with the marriage partner her family arranged for her, and after going to the United States, she refused to come back. Now that she has returned, she has become a single mother, which Xue Xiangsheng finds hard to understand. It seems that only by meeting and talking to the father of the two children in person can he find the answer.
When Zhang Yun heard Xue Xiangsheng's request, she did not immediately refuse. She also wanted to show her grandfather just how outstanding the man she had chosen was.
However, she wasn't confident she could get Huang Xiaochuan to come to Singapore, since that young man had a very strong personality.
