The four bodyguards sent Qiao Mei to the hospital together. They waited downstairs and she entered the hospital alone. She asked a nurse for directions and soon arrived at Gao Mings ward. In the room, other than Gao Lin, Gao Long had also come by to visit Gao Ming. Their weathered faces were filled with fatigue.
“Grandpa Gao, I’m here for a visit,” Qiao Mei said with a smile as she pushed open the ward door.
Gao Lin was very surprised to see Qiao Mei. He did not expect her to come and visit them at this hour, neither did he expect her to still remember them.
“Why are you here?” Gao Lin asked with a smile.
“l heard that you sold the jewelry because someone in your family is sick. I’m worried that the money is not enough, so I have come by today to see if there is anything I can help with,” Qiao Mei said.
“Miss, you have a kind heart, but we don’t need any help anymore.” Gao Lin looked at Gao Ming on the bed and sobbed as he continued, “The special medicine we paid for is useless. My grandson can’t be saved.”
“Even the special medicine is useless? What illness does he have?” Qiao Mei asked.
“He was poisoned. The doctor says that this poison is very deadly, but… we have done everything we can, yet we still can’t save his life. Sigh… we’ve already given up,” Gao Lin said.
Qiao Mei walked over to Gao Mings bedside and observed his facial features.
The two of them did not share any common features. Perhaps it was because Gao Tao and Gao Lin were not identical twins, so there were fewer similarities. She did not know if she could get a DNA test done for Gao Lin and her.
Qiao Mei sat at the side and asked tactfully, “Grandpa Gao, I remember you saying that you have an elder sister named Gao Tao, right?”
Gao Lin’s eyes lit up. He looked at Qiao Mei in surprise and asked, “Yes! I have an elder sister! Why are you interested in her?”
He was already feeling very happy that this little girl, who looked like his elder sister, had come to look for him. In the event that his elder sister was still alive, his family might be able to finally reunite.
“Then do you know if your elder sister has any special characteristics? Like birthmarks, scars or something similar,” Qiao Mei asked.
“Let me think… There’s a birthmark on my sister’s back! It looks like a wine bottle! It’s located near her left shoulder!” Gao Lin said.
Qiao Mei had heard Qiao Qiang talk about Gao Tao many times. Gao Tao indeed had a bottle-shaped birthmark on her body. It seemed that the person in front of her was really her grandmothers relative.
Before Qiao Mei could reply, Gao Lin stood up excitedly and asked her in a trembling voice, “What… what’s your relationship with my elder sister?” “Gao Tao is my grandmother,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, two voices could be heard at the same time.
“Really?” Gao Lin asked excitedly.
“What!” Zhang Chengs voice came from behind Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei turned around and saw Zhang Chengs twisted face. She immediately had a bad feeling about this, but then again, she had already expected Zhang Cheng to come to the hospital today.
“No wonder, no wonder you fight with me for Gao Tao’s jewelry! No wonder you behave so strangely! Well done! So you’re Gao Tao’s descendant!” Zhang Cheng pointed at Qiao Mei and said furiously.
Gao Lin quickly stood in front of Qiao Mei and looked at Zhang Cheng, saying, “Why are you here now! ”
Zhang Cheng ignored Gao Lin’s question. He stared intently at Qiao Mei and continued, “You must have taken my cufflink! It must be you! Give me back my cufflink! ”
“What cufflink? Old Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about?” Qiao Mei said as if she did not know anything.
“Hmph, stop pretending! You must have taken my cufflink! You must know about the cufflink! You definitely know! Hurry up and hand over all the jewelry! All of them!” Zhang Cheng shouted like a lunatic.
Ever since he lost his cufflink last night, there had been news from the office early this morning that many of his business partners had called off their collaborations. The company had already lost nearly 2 million dollars in orders. All this had happened because the cufflink had gone missing, bringing with it his good luck. He must find the cufflink as soon as possible!
He had come to the hospital today to find out if someone from the Gao family had stolen his things, but he did not expect to gain some unexpected news.. He did not expect Gao Tao to have survived! She even had descendants!
